Chapter 501: Leaving the World Scar
There was a rustling sound, which was the sound of the pen sketching on the paper.
Look by the light.
At a desk in the living room, Alka was writing something.
Xia Daiti came to his back and gently rested his head on his shoulder.
I leaned against him and looked at what he was writing.
There were originally 11 numbers on the booklet, but now most of them have been crossed out.
Only three numbers remain on the notebook.
"Are these crossed out ones the Trial Towers that have been collected by the Church of the Four Gods?" Xia Dai asked.
Alka shook his head.
"On the contrary, there are eight trial towers that have been controlled by the Church of the Four Gods."
This information was recently given to him by Brave.
The Church of the Four Gods stepped in, and almost all the forces that controlled the Tower of Trials were willing to hand over control of the Tower of Trials to the church.
The main reason is that for many large forces, although the Tower of Trials is useful, it is not so useful that they are willing to offend the church in order to keep it in their hands.
After all, if the Trial Tower did not have an official identity, it would at most be just a training machine.
It also depends on whether the person entering the Trial Tower meets the requirements.
They felt that the Tower of Trials was very useful to their forces, but they could not afford to offend the Church, and did not even dare to show the slightest anger, and had to hand over the control of the Tower of Trials to the Church.
Moreover, among the eight trial towers that have been controlled, only four are actually controlled by forces.
The other four still remain where they are, but there are many small forces that use them from time to time.
It was similar in status to the Trial Tower that Alka and the others had used before.
As for the remaining three.
Apparently, the forces in charge of him were unwilling to hand over the tower to the Church of the Four Gods for various reasons.
The main goal of Alka and his team now is to take down the trial towers of these three forces.
Xiadaiti watched as Alka added a number to the front of each serial number.
"What are you writing?" Xia Daiti didn't understand and asked in confusion.
After adding the numbers, Alka smiled and said, "We will sort them in order according to their distance from the World Scar."
Xia Daiti nodded in understanding, then frowned as if thinking of something and asked in surprise, "So fast? You...you are going to advance to the seventh stage?"
After all, if this kind of planning is still far from the seventh stage, then it would be a bit too fast.
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
Before obtaining the Meditation Stone, the speed of strength improvement from stage six onwards was not very fast.
But when the meditation stone was created, they entered the fast lane of rapidly improving their meditation strength.
They then developed the potential of the meditation stone and kept it in overload mode.
Because it is a treasure, the overload mode has no effect on the meditation stone.
In addition, Alka's dream strength increased too quickly, and the reality corresponding to the dream caused the gap between him and everyone else to widen rapidly.
Now I am about to advance to the seventh stage, and the spiral in my body has reached the perfection of the sixth stage.
It is now in the preparation stage and it will be upgraded to a level sufficient for promotion in a few days.
"So fast?" Xia Daiti couldn't help but ask.
Alka smiled and asked, "How long do you think it will take to advance to the seventh stage?"
After hearing this, Xia Daiti felt it, thought about it and said, "Based on the current improvement speed, I will have to wait at least a year before it is possible."
One year later.
According to the current meditation and everyone's improvement speed, Alka is still at the top, followed by Jason and Urulius.
Then came Xiadaiti.
The common feature of these three people is that they have completed their collection of scepter-level treasures.
The speed of the others was a little slower than that of Xia Dai, but not much different from that of others.
"Are you planning to leave here after you reach the seventh stage?" Xia Dai asked.
Alka nodded.
"Yes, we can actually start preparing now."
The conversation between the two was recalled in the corner of the night.
…
Time flies.
In the council of the Vastwa people.
Alka is located in the middle of it.
"Are you ready to leave?" a congressman asked Alka and the others.
They also just received the news.
Alka nodded: "Although there is no way to deal with the Devouring Mouth now, it can no longer pose any threat to us.
The tough issues have been resolved, it's time to leave, and you have established yourself here."
After hearing Alka's words, the congressmen looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Only the great elder sat in the main seat with a hunched back.
"So do you have any suggestions for our future development here?"
Obviously they have settled here, and Alka and his group are a treasure hunting group, so leaving is inevitable.
Alka looked at the Vastwa people in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. He sighed and said, "Don't spread what I say now. Just carry it out silently."
Hearing Alka's words become serious, the Great Elder and several council members around him immediately nodded, sat up straight and listened carefully.
Then he waved his hand gently, as if controlling something, and the windows and door of the entire conference room were completely closed and soundproofed.
Seeing this situation, Alka nodded and started talking.
"Simon should have helped you research several perfect weapon templates, right?"
One of the councillors in charge nodded.
"Your first priority is to form a defense force, and then build the City of Return into a barrier strong enough to resist demons, with the defense facing the direction of the demons."
After so many years of development, the average strength of the Vastwa armed forces has reached the third stage of perfection.
Among them, some who possess treasures have already reached the fifth stage.
They have completely established themselves here.
Without waiting for them to ask, Alka continued, “The weapons factory needs to be expanded, and the equipment manufactured will be specifically for city defense.
Continue the previous demon research, prepare targeted protection and attack equipment, and be prepared to resist demons at any time."
"The second most important thing is the production line of the magic gathering stone. It should have been completed some time ago, right?"
Hearing this, one of the responsible councillors immediately nodded and said: "Yes, although the output is small and the defective rate is high, it has indeed been built."
The equipment called the Magic Gathering Stone already existed in the records of the Vastwa people, and combined with the experience of Aka and his team, they set up such a production line.
"The magic gathering stones produced will be the key for you to gain a firm foothold here and integrate into this world.
It is best to take this thing and your weapons and join the Anti-Magic League in a hurry."
That is, it is an alliance formed by the Four Gods Church and various major forces to resist demons.
Joining in would also mean that the Vastwa people were already considered a force.
Although it cannot compare with other forces, it is located in the Scar of the World after all. It also has the production capacity of weapons and magic gathering stones, and these two things alone are enough.
Faced with Alka's suggestion, they fell silent, not knowing what they were thinking.
It's not about rejection, but about thinking about the consciousness involved.
Because Alka's suggestion sounded very straightforward, which was that the demons were likely to counterattack.
Moreover, the front line may suffer a major defeat, causing the defense line to retreat.
Ever since Alka was promoted to the sixth stage and went to the magic-proof fortress to resist the demons.
At that time, the demon's offensive became lower and lower, and remained at the lowest level, which has continued to this day.
This has been going on for so many years, and now the front line has been constantly exploring the demon's territory.
They were even prepared for a counterattack and were determined to push the anti-magic wall forward.
But what’s interesting is that they did not push the entire anti-magic wall forward , but instead planned to build a closer wall in front.
At the same time, more defensive facilities were also built in the rear.
Some people with a keen sense of smell have obviously discovered something. The Vastwa people certainly have some ideas, but now Alka's suggestion has made their thoughts clear.
"Will the devil... launch a major counterattack?" A congressman looked at Alka and asked quietly.
Even though they were the only ones in the meeting, he couldn't help but lower his voice.
Alka looked at him, neither nodding nor shaking his head, the meaning was self-evident.
Then he stood up and said: “The difficulty you will encounter this time is the first ordeal you will encounter after you have established your foothold here, and it may also be the greatest ordeal.
If you can survive this, then you will have a firm foothold here. Whether it is the Four Gods Church or other large forces, they will recognize you.
Whether it can develop and prosper in the future depends on this time. It is a crisis but also an opportunity."
Having said that, Alka left, leaving behind a few Vastvas who were thinking.
Then he said goodbye to Brave and his acquaintances in the City of Return.
Through the rapid mirror transmission, we arrived at the anti-magic fortress on the front line.
"Are you ready to leave?" Grayfar looked at him and asked.
At this time, Greyfar was standing on the city wall, looking into the distance.
A small bulge can be seen at the end of the field of vision. That is the newly built city wall after advancing into the demon territory. Now most of the personnel have been moved there.
Alka nodded, "It's time to leave. There are more important things to do."
"I've heard a little bit about it. By the way, thank you for the magic gathering stone."
Some samples of the final product have been sent to the front line.
Obviously he was not thanking himself, but for his subordinates.
The appearance of the magic gathering stone accelerated the speed of everyone's meditation.
After chatting for a while, Alka went to meet the people from the Church of the Holy Mother again. After a brief and subtle conversation, he left and returned to the City of Return.
At this time, they were in the hall of the house where they had lived for many years.
Everyone was ready, many things in the room had been put away, and the puppet girls were still jumping around.
"Then let's go."
As Alka spoke, a huge mirror appeared in front of him, and a spiral of dreams appeared in the mirror.
Everyone looked around and realized that they had been here for too long and it was time to leave.
With a sense of nostalgia and a hint of excitement, everyone passed through the mirror and disappeared into the room.
And they appeared in a cliff cave by the sea.
Appeared on the deck of the Voice of Dawn.
At this time, Simon had already arrived on the deck of the Sound of Dawn before them and was conducting a routine inspection of the Sound of Dawn.
Such inspections should be carried out every year.
But now that they are leaving, they naturally have to check it more carefully, although such behavior is meaningless to the Voice of Dawn.
After all, the Sound of Dawn can no longer be considered a ship, but rather a large tree life with the appearance of a ship.
"Ah, let's go home."
Urulius hopped around on the deck barefoot, making thumping sounds on the deck.
Hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but smile.
For them, the Sound of Dawn is truly like a home.
Put some supplies stored in the pocket ring into the Sound of Dawn.
Since the Sound of Dawn has been cleaned, there is no need for everyone to continue cleaning. After getting on the boat and getting ready, you can sail away directly.
Or maybe there is no need for them to sail now.
The Sound of Dawn slowly retreated from the cliff cave.
Sailing towards the distant sea.
This time everyone gathered at the bow, facing the sea breeze and looking at the sea.
How long had it been since they had sailed on the sea like this?
“Now that I think about it, we’ve actually been in World Scar for over a decade,” Xiadaiti couldn’t help but say as he stood next to Alka.
Time really doesn't feel real. For them, it passes too fast.
"In the end, we still haven't solved the problem of the Devouring Mouth." Jason couldn't help but say as he looked at the bow of the ship dividing the sea surface and the waves splashing to both sides.
They had first come to Worldscar because the Devouring Mouth was targeting them.
At that time, they had generally just reached the fifth stage, and facing the targeting of the Devouring Mouth, they would easily fall into an irretrievable situation.
Especially after the Devouring Mouth became more and more familiar with them.
Entering the World Scar, relying on the anti-magic properties of the World Scar, he was able to gain a safe state so close to the Devouring Mouth.
After advancing to the sixth stage, they headed to the front line to face it.
But after advancing to the sixth stage, the Devouring Mouth no longer targeted them, as if it had given up.
Not only that, the intensity of the demon's attack slowed down afterwards.
Now the defending personnel have even pushed the defense line forward by dozens of kilometers.
"The revelation you saw before..." Xiadaiti suddenly turned to look at Alka.
Hearing this, everyone around shut their mouths silently.
Alka sighed, "So our job now is to gather the Trial Tower together as quickly as possible."
The so-called revelation was the revelation that Alka received from the Virgin Mary a few years ago.
The picture he saw.
There were hordes of demons, so overwhelming in number that they seemed to have occupied the entire world. It was a number of demons that made people terrified just by looking at them.
What was even more terrifying was that he saw the Devouring Mouth, but there were demons just like the Devouring Mouth, or even stronger than the Devouring Mouth. There were no longer just three of them like before.
Instead it became 5.
Alka probably already had some understanding of what revelation was.
He even went to ask the Blessed Virgin himself.
Revelation is not a prophecy, but something that already exists at this stage, but he does not know it.
So just show it to him.
The problem is that even the Virgin Mary herself cannot control this ability.
Simply put, such revelations are not the Mother’s power, but simply a power she is learning to master.
But once the picture appeared, the meaning was self-evident.
How could the demons abandon their world? The so-called slowdown of the World Scar's offensive was just a gathering of more powerful forces.
From the number of leaders, we can tell that the Devouring Mouth has brought in two new allies, both of whom are powerful.
Even though that was a scene several years ago, they haven't started the attack yet. Maybe they are still absorbing strength, and this time they are bound to take over the whole world.
According to the research on the abyss, what attacks them will no longer be one layer of the abyss plane, but at least one more layer.
The military strength even doubled.
"Once we gather the Trial Tower together, he will be able to provide incredible assistance to the entire front-line defense force." Alka said to everyone.
Even if they stay on the front line now, they can resist the huge attack that will come later.
They are just a group of strong men in the sixth or seventh stage.
But if they gather the 12 trial towers together, the function of the gathering is to be able to give temporary treasures to those who pass the trial.
In other words, it is a personal treasure that belongs only to them in this life and cannot be left behind when they die.
But that's enough.
There are many people on the front line who have no treasures but whose strength has reached the third stage of perfection.
It can be said that there are countless of them.
What limits their strength is never their numbers, but their treasures and the rules of this world.
After all, we are mortals, and the limits of life are limited.
Without the help of treasures, breaking through the limits of life is something that only a true genius can do.
Once they gather at the Trial Tower, the pressure on the front line will quickly ease, and will ease faster and faster over time.
"And don't forget, the magic gathering stone is supplying scars to the entire world, and it will even spread to the entire Infinite Ocean."
Alka said with a smile.
The magic gathering stone plus the trial tower they need to deal with now will greatly alleviate the problem of military strength.
Moreover, major forces and churches have begun to quietly gather troops around the world.
The demons are gathering strength to devour the world, and that world is naturally gathering strength to resist.
"Where are you going to choose?" Jason asked.
Hearing this, Alka looked at the boundless sea ahead and said, "Enter the channel , quickly pass through the storm area to reach the outside world, and then directly ascend on the spot."
He has not yet advanced to the seventh stage.
But you can advance at any time.
However, the magic power absorption required to advance to the seventh stage was too exaggerated, so Alka chose to make the advancement when they left the World Scar and reached the sea outside.
The main reason is that excessive absorption of magic power makes it difficult to eliminate impurities, especially when there is the breath of the abyss.
And it was hard for him not to think about whether he would encounter various influences again.
The main concern is that the problem of being affected by the aura of the abyss cannot be eliminated.
