Chapter 523 Black Steel Island

After listening to Bishop Savlev's brief report.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Whether it is Alka and his companions or the Secret Spell Council that has just arrived here, they all need to think and filter the information they know now in their minds.

After a while, Savlov continued, "In addition to this main landmark island, other linked islands have also experienced similar bloody disasters.

It’s just that these disasters are much inferior to those on Signpost Island, but the problem is that even on other islands, there are fewer forces that can resist them.”

As he said this, he took a report from a scholar next to him.

“The Whiteman Island chain has a total of six linked islands, and four of these six linked islands have now become nests of flesh and blood, just like Whiteman Island.

As for the remaining two islands, it happened that there were personnel on the island who were carrying out a mission and destroyed the flesh and blood base, so these two islands are now our only safe islands in this sea area."

He turned to look at Alka and said, "The island where the trial tower you need is located is not a linked island, but it happens to be within the island chain waters and has also been occupied."

Hearing this, Alka nodded.

He had seen it in the revelation before. Since he knew that the revelation was talking about their goal, he was mentally prepared, so he was not surprised.

"Since you have cleared the blood and flesh disasters on the two islands, have you figured out where such disasters and such power come from?"

Speaker Anris asked from the side.

This is a very important issue.

If he asked members of other forces, they might not be able to tell him clearly, but he asked the Holy Machine Church, which has many scholars.

Since they have already cleared the blood and flesh disaster on the two islands, it is very likely that they have a certain understanding of the source of the blood and flesh problem.

Unexpectedly, Saflev shook his head and said regretfully: "This is the problem. It would be great if we knew the source of the problem.

The outbreak was too sudden, and we lost too many members, and a lot of energy was used to deal with these flesh and blood monsters.

The reason why the blood and flesh disasters on the two islands were cleared was because they did not erupt completely. One of them was cleared just after the eruption, and the affected area was very small, even only one residential building.

Another disaster of blood and flesh erupted. For some reason, maybe it was due to insufficient energy or the wrong location of the eruption on the island, it just spread and died out on its own after a while."

After hearing this, everyone probably understood.

In other words, the clearing of the two eruption islands was somewhat of an unexpected process.

"But the only thing we know now is that the source of the flesh and blood explosion is actually the ritual that is triggered by the cultists themselves.

In other words, these are problems arising from their own flesh, blood, and soul.

I don't know about the other islands, but the source of the outbreak on these two islands was a group of 6 cultists who achieved their goal by sacrificing themselves.

And according to the investigation, the strength of each cultist is perfect in the third stage, reaching the pinnacle of normal touchers."

After listening to Bishop Safnov's words.

The scene became quiet again.

Everyone started to think again based on the more information they had obtained.

"I observed it when I came here just now. Is this island of flesh and blood... moving?" Speaker Anris frowned and asked solemnly.

Safnov nodded: "Yes, this is the most serious problem, especially at this time."

After hearing Savlev's exact answer, Speaker Anris leaned heavily on the chair and rubbed his brow with his hand. It was obvious that the problem brought about by this news was very serious.

Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but frown and began to think deeply.

Will moving the island cause any serious problems?

No…it’s not the movement of the islands, but the movement of the signpost islands that will cause huge problems.

Although Alka and his friends had not yet understood the details, they knew that every landmark island and its island chain were very important to the entire Infinite Ocean.

Because this is not just about oneself, it's about the entire boundless ocean, even dreams are cooperating to a certain extent.

Although the Infinite Ocean is extremely chaotic at this stage, at least there is a certain stability and order in the chaos. And this stability and order are brought by these landmark islands and their island chains.

This is what Alka learned.

But Alka had never delved into the details of the mystery, nor had he tried to understand or inquire about it in detail.

So I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"So will the movement of the island cause any serious problems with the functionality of the signpost island itself?"

Hearing Alka's question, Anris and Savlev looked up at him.

There was some confusion in his eyes, perhaps because he was surprised that Alka didn't know.

Seeing this, Alka explained a little: "I roughly know the importance of the signpost island, but I don't know much about its specific operating principles and processes."

Hearing this, Saflev nodded. The members in this meeting were all trustworthy and important members, so he did not hide anything and said directly: "The system formed by the Signpost Island and its island chain was jointly built by the four gods.

And this idea comes from my Divine One."

"You should know that the sixth stage is the so-called demigod stage, and you need to spread your reputation, right?"

Alka nodded. He did know this, after all, their reputation had spread.

"The principle is similar to this. The Infinite Ocean itself is a broken and weak world. The sixth-stage strongman uses himself as the origin to separate invisible chains to link up those lives who have heard of your name and have felt admiration and respect for you, and even various positive emotions such as respect.

These emotions will allow you to connect to him or even hold him back, so that you won’t be pulled out of the world when something unexpected happens.”

Alka also knew the principle behind this and nodded.

Even if they are not linked, normal people will not have any major problems. But generally speaking, linking is better for the entire life group, and can further stabilize their problems.

For example, it is not easy for the soul and body to be separated, or for one to fall into a dream, or for one to be mentally assaulted by aliens.

To put it simply, their strength forms a relatively abstract defense at the human spiritual level.

"The landmark island and the islands it links to are similar, with the landmark island as the origin connecting the surrounding islands, and then stabilizing a large area centered on the landmark island.

After all, the whole world is pieced together, so it is fragile. The existence of the signpost island is like a chain in the splicing, holding the surrounding fragments together. "

“According to this system, the landmark islands will not move, and the linked islands will float out with the flow, but will also be pulled back, just like being held by chains.

If the landmark island moves, then there will be a problem with its origin property. Then the entire sea area that is connected and stabilized by it will be in chaos.

It's like a wound that was stitched shut, and now one of the ropes is broken, and problems are inevitable."

Just a simple explanation.

Alka and others nodded in understanding.

"Excuse me for asking. How confused would he be?" Simon asked after taking a look.

Savlev nodded and answered directly: "It is as chaotic as the World Scar. If the Abyss is willing to spend a certain amount of power, it can even open another entrance to the Abyss here.

However, this also requires a process, so under normal circumstances it will not reach such a serious level, but this will lay the groundwork for an opportunity and a trigger.

It is so fragile here that there is no barrier or order, only chaos, and time and space will be disturbed to a certain extent."

After hearing this, everyone had an intuitive concept in their minds.

Alka couldn't help but link the problem here to the devil.

After all, the timing of the problem was too coincidental.

It's hard not to imagine that this problem was caused by the demons, after all, it would be easier for them to invade the world and even open up a second battlefield.

To the demons, what stopped them was the small size of the entrance, not the fact that there were not enough of them.

If the entrance were bigger or there were more entrances, this world would have been turned into a sieve long ago.

As for whether the people of the Boundless Sea still have the strength to defend the second battlefield, it is unknown.

But no matter what, the demon's advantage will be greatly enhanced.

"So the problem here really has nothing to do with the devil?" Jason couldn't help but ask.

It's mainly because of too many coincidences. If you think about it carefully, you can feel that all the accusations seem to point to the devil.

There is no need to have too much doubt, after all, they are the biggest vested interests .

Unexpectedly, Savlev shook his head.

“At least for the current situation, although the demons have made great gains, we have not found any problems caused by the demons.

Since the information from the Endless Sea spread, all the landmark islands have strengthened their protection against the abyss aura and anything related to demons."

“We also analyzed the flesh and breath of those cultists, and the evil gods they believed in had little to do with demons.

If we have to say that it is related to the devil, it is very likely that this evil god has reached a deal with the devil. This is a more likely scenario.

But at least the devil wasn’t directly involved.”

Then everyone discussed it again.

Speaker Anris on the opposite side thought for a moment and said: "If we want to solve the problem here, we have to find the problem. Which island is more suitable for investigation?

We need to see it with our own eyes to understand what these flesh and blood are made of, so that we can find a solution."

Savlov nodded. He was prepared and took out the link map.

He pointed to one of the stars, the origin of the direction drawn on the line and said.

"Black Steel Island, this island has been invaded by the Flesh and Blood, and it is relatively close to here. The problem on the island is serious, but it is not too dangerous, at least not to the people present.

It is a place that is more suitable for everyone present to investigate and find problems. At the same time, the Holy Machine Church also has an investigation team there. "

Hearing this, Anris nodded.

"Then here we are, we will set sail immediately."

Hearing this, Alka turned around and looked at the people around him. They all nodded, probably understanding what Alka meant.

"Then let's go and take a look."

Savlov had no objection to this and nodded.

Finally, he said: "Based on the situation we have studied so far, in the most optimistic scenario, we must find a solution and resolve the bloodshed on White Man Island within 50 days.

If the island's movement speed increases faster than we think, then the time will likely be shortened even further."

Both parties nodded.

I probably have some idea in mind.

Then they left the meeting room one after another.

Return to the Voice of the Dawn.

Looking at the magic sailboat of the Council of Spells sailing ahead, Alka and the others slowly followed behind it.

And everyone gathered in the conference room.

"What do you think? Should we stay and solve the problem, or should we just go and take the Trial Tower away by force?" Alka asked.

Although I don’t know what the Trial Island here is like, but based on the toughness of the Trial Tower, it should be well preserved.

Because he had just simply entered the small world, entered one of the trial towers, and asked about the situation.

Although the instructors and the people in the Trial Temple did not know the situation outside the Trial Tower, at least according to their tests, there was no problem with the Trial Tower.

In other words, they can forcibly move the Trial Tower as long as they can resist the attack of the flesh and blood on the island.

"I'm more inclined to solve the problem here. This is obviously a premeditated action. Finding out where the problem lies is the fundamental solution," Simon said.

Julia and the others also nodded.

Anyway, they have nearly two months.

Although they are pressed for time, once the problems here fully erupt, the problems they bring will be even more serious.

Hearing their discussion, Alka nodded.

"Then let's find a way to solve the problem here as soon as possible."

Now that I think about it, the problem is really big.

The entire Infinite Ocean was in chaos.

The journey to Black Steel Island from where they were was not far.

Only about a day passed.

Soon the black steel island came into sight.

Everyone on the deck watched.

Both they and the people from the Council of Spells were observing the vicinity of the island. Outside the island, they could see a steel ship keeping a relatively safe distance from the island.

At that time, the ship should be the so-called investigation team.

After walking around, the only thing I discovered was that although the island was covered with flesh and blood, there were still many buildings on the island that could be clearly seen.

This should have been an island for mining and steelmaking, and you can see the factory.

The flesh and blood occupied about half of the island, and there was no sign of further spread.

On the other half of the area, one can see numerous various flesh and blood creatures staggering around.

After a quick tour, the two ships stopped next to the steel ship.

The steel ship seemed to have received the news as well.

A middle-aged man with a chainsaw-like power sword on his back.

You can see some blood and flesh threads still tangled on it that have not been cleaned up.

He was also surrounded by a group of Power Knights.

Similar to the church's Wheatear Knights, they are the armed forces of the Holy Machine Church.

Wearing steel armor.

"Welcome everyone, if there is anything you need to know, we will tell you if we know anything."

Anruis nodded and asked directly: "Do you know anything about this flesh and blood this morning?"

“The characteristics of these flesh and blood are the same as those on Whiteman Island, but they have only spread to half of the area and have remained like this for more than half a month, and have not spread any further.

We suspect that there may be insufficient energy or flesh and blood. These flesh and blood cannot increase in value indefinitely. There must be certain conditions to be able to continue to expand and cover.

As for those twisted monsters, it felt like the flesh and blood of all living things were randomly spliced together. They had no souls and moved like complete puppet bodies.

These flesh and blood are extremely aggressive, and we can't get close to them, so we can only understand these situations."

Hearing this, Anris nodded, then looked at Alka and the others beside him.

"Would you like to go to the island together and check it out?"

Alka nodded.

Then, under the guidance of the research team, they came to the login location that the previous team had been using.

You can see that it's a bit like a defensive position.

A variety of chevaux de frise, fences and crude defensive measures.

Although it was crude, it did clear a relatively safe area.

The boat docked and everyone jumped onto the edge of the island.

Not far away, one could see various flesh and blood bodies moving slowly, and they didn't seem to be preparing to attack.

"They have a certain attack range, about 500 meters around them, and if they sense it, they will attack.

And if one of them senses it, then all the flesh and blood monsters in a large area around him will sense it.
