#580 - Chapter 580: An Interlude in the Abyss
The new war began, but just as Wu Wei entered the plane, some small "mutations" suddenly occurred within the Infinite Abyss.
"Hehehe~"
"That annoying lord is finally gone~"
"I can slack off now~"
Shortly after seeing Wu Wei off, the lazy angel Liz hummed a strange song while magically producing a deck chair from nearby.
Then, the beautiful but lazy angel lay straight down on it.
"Huff...."
In no more than two seconds, this lazy angel fell directly asleep, and into a very deep sleep.
As for the task Wu Wei had assigned to Liz....
Sorry, she had already "outsourced" it.
Among them, she outsourced the task of continuing to explore the surface world of the Godfall Land to the troll Titus.
After all, as a follower of the Abyss Sect, the troll Titus could not refuse the orders of this fallen angel.
And the task of exploring the inner world of the Godfall Land, and finding those special metal fragments and clues, she handed over to a former fallen angel.
Just as the fallen angel Liz fell into slumber, she didn't notice that.
Within the black and red vortex above the Abyss Throne, a faint consciousness was peering down at the Abyss Throne... next to the [Wheel of Time]!
This weak Abyss Will felt an immense desire upon seeing the artifact called the Wheel of Time.
It yearned to devour this artifact, as well as the little bit of "divinity" remaining within it.
That's right, just as the equipment evaluation of the Wheel of Time stated, the creation of the Wheel of Time actually utilized some knowledge that blasphemed against the gods.
Among this knowledge, the most significant was the use of [God Corpses].
However, it's worth mentioning that the so-called God Corpses are different from the so-called God Corpses within the Godfall Land; they are two different concepts.
It does not refer to actual corpses!
Because it is difficult for gods to leave behind concrete corpses.
The higher the level of a god, the less likely they are to leave behind a corpse.
Because, to a large extent, they are no longer living beings, but rather some kind of concept.
In this case, they don't even have a physical body, let alone a corpse.
Therefore, the so-called God Corpses, in most cases, refer to items that have been contaminated with the aura of a god, and that aura has not completely disappeared.
However, if it's just an item contaminated with the aura of a god, it cannot be regarded as a God Corpse.
Because God Corpse, after all, carries a sense of death.
Ordinary items contaminated with the aura of a god should be called [Holy Relics] in the eyes of most believers.
For example, a cup that a certain god drank water from, or a shawl that a certain god used, these are all considered a type of holy relic.
Due to religious reasons, if you want to use these so-called holy relics as materials to create certain [artifacts], it's not impossible.
As long as you can defeat those fanatical believers, and not be afraid of the revenge of those face-saving true gods, then you can feel free to do so.
However, most people and forces do not dare to do so.
But the demand for artifacts is extremely high.
So, those with this demand will turn their attention to those items that have been contaminated with the aura of a god, and that god has already fallen, or is close to falling.
And these items are the real "God Corpses".
These people will use these God Corpses to steal the power of past gods, and then forge them into artifacts that can be sold.
Unfortunately, the [Wheel of Time] is such an artifact.
It contains the power of a true god.
The true god named [Goddess of Time]!
And very importantly, this Goddess of Time has not completely fallen!
Although she shattered her divine fire and fell from her godhood in the god war thousands of years ago, she still has her divinity.
In this case, she actually has a chance to be resurrected.
Although slim, it does exist!
But unfortunately, not anymore.
Because from the moment the Abyss Mother, as the pan-consciousness of the Infinite Abyss, saw the Wheel of Time enter the Abyss plane, she had already coveted the remaining divinity within the Wheel of Time.
However, the cunning she had been waiting until Wu Wei left before taking action.
In the snoring of the fallen angel Liz, a black tentacle condensed from the vortex slowly drooped down.
This small and cute black tentacle cautiously moved towards the Wheel of Time while constantly accumulating power.
But just at this moment!
"Bold, this thing is mine!"
With a burst of roar, the tentacle instantly shrank back in fright.
"What I fancy is mine, hehe, all mine!"
It turned out that the lazy angel was sleep-talking. Strangely, this guy actually laughed as she roared in her sleep.
The little tentacle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Soon, the tentacle completely wrapped around the Wheel of Time, firmly binding this artifact.
But the moment the Abyss tentacle wrapped around the Wheel of Time, this artifact made from the corpse of the Time Goddess began to struggle violently, just like a real living creature.
In fact, if the Abyss tentacle hadn't come, this artifact might not have become animated for countless millennia.
After all, divinity will not suddenly exhibit animated properties unless stimulated.
However, such struggles had no effect on the Abyss tentacle.
In less than a few seconds, this artifact that could produce a bottle of Time Spring every month was forcibly crushed by the Abyss tentacle!
Obviously, the power that the Abyss Mother had accumulated before was used at this time!
Although the divinity left behind by the Time Goddess is a very powerful existence in the eyes of ordinary creatures.
But in the eyes of the Abyss Mother, these divinities are just some "nutrients" for her.
Therefore, as more and more divinity entered her stomach, the Abyss Mother felt extremely pleased.
Her recovery in some aspects was one step closer!
However, whenever there is pleasure, there will be a price to pay!
"...."
When the Abyss Mother was about to finish devouring all the divinity, she noticed one thing.
That is, she was only concerned with devouring the divinity, but what about Wu Wei's side?
"...."
The Abyss Mother's tentacle looked left and right, and saw the fallen angel Liz who was still asleep, and immediately her "eyes lit up".
Whoosh.
As a small sound appeared, the Abyss Mother's tentacle threw all the debris of the Wheel of Time under the bed of the fallen angel Liz.
That's not all, in order to make the act complete.
The Abyss Mother also very painfully spat out about one percent of the divinity of the Time Goddess that she had just devoured, converted it into twelve bottles of Time Spring, and then threw them into the debris of the Wheel of Time together.
Mission accomplished!
Just as the Abyss tentacle was about to leave, the Abyss Mother suddenly realized one thing.
She gently placed the tentacle near the fallen angel Liz.
Then....
Smack!
"Ouch!"
With the appearance of a slap, the fallen angel was slapped and woke up from her dream.
Just in the moment before she woke up, the Abyss Mother's tentacle had turned into darkness and completely dissipated.
"Who attacked me?!"
The fallen angel Liz jumped up from the deck chair, posing in a fighting stance.
But...
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the fallen angel lowered her head.
The next second, her face turned pale.
"Damn it, no way!"
She had "crushed" the artifact that her lord had bought at a great price!
Looking at the debris all over the ground, and the remaining dozen bottles of Time Spring, Liz's face was ashen.
At this time, she couldn't help but start to tremble.
Because she could already imagine the scene of her lord, in anger, hanging her up and beating her.
"This... feels pretty good."
"No, no!"
"You idiot!"
Liz slapped herself, forcing herself to become more normal.
"No, I can't let Wu Wei find out!"
"What should I do?"
"Throw away these debris and say I can't find it?"
"Impossible, he's not stupid!"
Liz grabbed her smooth golden hair, in great pain.
But at this moment, a few little devils who were playing in the abyss came into her eyes.
"Hehe...."
Seeing these little devils, Liz immediately knew what to do.
A very evil smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She was going to frame these little devils!
