Chapter 231 - 231 219 The Gate to the Ancient 44
231: Chapter 219: The Gate to the Ancient (4/4) 231: Chapter 219: The Gate to the Ancient (4/4) At this moment, the situation had reversed once again.
Elder Prude, piloting the Aether Armament, might not have been as powerful as Viscount Grant piloting his, but it was no problem to hold off the Gargantuan Eel.
Opposite him, with the circuit of Origin Quality flowing through his body like streams of water and the Abyssal Crystals also starting to shimmer, Viscount Grant, who had entered a state of full power, was probably even stronger than Patrick in his Ether Armor Offshoot.
In the South Ridge at this very moment, under the stormy weather, the Abyssal Whale that lay in the ocean…
was invincible!
A combat power level slightly beyond the peak of the Second Energy Level had in an instant been divided into one Second Energy Level and another at the peak of the Second Energy Level.
Facing two Soaring Surge Gargantuan Eels and Patrick, such a distribution of combat power was just right!
At this point, Ian could basically say he was lying flat—if nothing unexpected happened, while Elder Prude engaged the Soaring Surge Gargantuan Eel with the Aether Armament, Viscount Grant would be able to blast Patrick down, and the grand internal conflict of the Ellen Family would come to an end with the onset of the Southern Sea anomaly.
Even more so, the Silver Chip told him that in the direction of Harrison Port, there was also a powerhouse around the peak of the Second Energy Level in action…
That was the White Mist Bishop, responsible for backing up Viscount Grant and protecting the safety of Harrison Port.
What he needed to do was simply to guard the port while Viscount Grant was out, to prevent the Natives and other Magical Beasts from sneaking in…
but when the Natives came out in full force, Bishop Huai Guang would certainly not sit by and watch the Viscount fight alone.
However, what nobody had anticipated was this.
Just as the four Keys carried by the Viscount and the Natives completely merged together.
The real accident happened.
Boom!
A loud noise came, not from the sky, but from deep within the ocean and the earth’s crust.
Immediately afterward, the entire Southern Sea, or even the ocean and the sky connected to it, began to tremble violently!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Lightning suddenly exploded incessantly, and even the Thunderhunter Jellyfish that had just formed not long ago shattered abruptly, turning into strings of fragments scattering across the sky—all Magical Beasts, all people, including those Thunderhunter Jellyfish that were still advancing, began to tremble and pause, swaying in place uncontrollably.
Even Ian felt a wave of vertigo…
his vision flashed with bizarre, aurora-like flickering arcs of light.
However, unlike all the other people and Magical Beasts who were bewildered and uncertain about what was happening,
he knew very well that what had just happened was not merely a physical vibration, but rather, a dreadfully high-energy radiation had penetrated throughout the entire sea area, causing such severe magnetic field disruption that their bodily microcurrents were affected, temporarily losing their sense of stability in the natural world!
“It’s an undersea earthquake!
An earthquake caused by the Labyrinth anomaly!”
Next to the young man, Master Gossay exclaimed, “What a massive Natural Spirit Energy reaction!
This Labyrinth is not a medium-to-large one…
this is the energy signature of a super-gigantic Labyrinth!”
— No, this is not an earthquake!
And Ian inhaled sharply.
He looked towards the sea bottom in astonishment, his eyes haloed with aquatic light allowing him to see the truth unfolding between the earth and the Vast Sea.
— The Gate…
has opened!
In that moment, Foresight View suddenly began to operate rapidly.
As the boy looked up at the four Keys dancing in midair, he saw a series of shimmering light and shadow fragments.
‘Energy Department’ ‘Plan Department’ ‘Circulation Department’ ‘Development Department’…
An ancient plan, a millennia of perseverance, a group of sworn people, and a vast structure, standing amongst the mountains, Vast Sea, and Azure Sky…
That was…
A tower.
A tower reaching straight to the sky, piercing through the Azure Sky above!
And then…
The tower, collapsed…
These almost illusion-like fragments of light and shadow lasted only a moment, then vanished immediately, while Ian, regaining consciousness a moment later, subconsciously gripped the sword left by his teacher.
The Heavy Abyss Iron Sword trembled too, due to the recent intense vibrations of the Natural Spirit Energy Field.
But what was truly trembling was the crust itself.
At this very moment, on April 17th of the year 773 in the Era of Tara, in the early morning hours.
From Sigh Cliff to Naru City, from Harrison Port to the Frodo Autonomous Region, even as far as the Abassalom Mountains, everyone sensed it—a grand yet not violent vibration, not an earthquake but clearer than any ordinary earthquake, spreading through the earth under their feet and the azure seas.
And the source of it all was the scene unfolding before the young man’s eyes.
—The crust itself was splitting apart right before his eyes.
As if the entire world was cracking.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Amidst the earth-shaking roars, ‘The Gate’ opened.
A kilometer deep under the sea, rocks and sand layers that had settled for a thousand years collapsed into gorges due to the vertical and horizontal fissures, and suddenly, a pitch-black canyon of immense depth emerged in the sea.
It was deep and vast, as if a giant god had sliced open the Southern Sea with a sharp sword.
The world shook, and the entire ocean was swallowed by that dark, enormous canyon, and by the colossal underground hollow at the bottom of that gorge…
Even the sky itself might be swallowed.
A piercing storm was forming, and the downward gales had already begun to sweep up everything around.
Ian looked up, and the originally dark cloud canopy was being torn away by the violent airflow, sucked into the vortex raging between sea and sky.
All would be swept away by it, without exception.
Only a few seconds had passed, whether it was the Gargantuan Eel or Patrick, Viscount Grant or Master Gossay, none understood why such a terrifying anomaly would occur in the Southern Sea, and all stood nearly stupefied in place.
“No…
I can’t control it!”
The frightened voice came from Master Gossay at his side: “There’s a massive low-pressure hollow beneath this sea area, it’s swallowing us whole!”
“I can’t hold it…”
“If you can’t hold it, then don’t!” Interrupting the elder, the young man almost feverishly said, “Master, with this wind, we go in!”
“Good!” Although the old man was unclear about the reason, he could no longer endure, so he clenched his teeth and maneuvered the fierce wind, shielding everyone as they plunged into the immensely deep abyssal rift with the wind that seemed to pull everything from the sea and sky into itself.
No one knew what all these anomalies signified.
Only Ian understood.
Heeding the downward gale, even though his vision was a stark red, he still fell forward without hesitation.
Because.
This was the energy core of the equatorial space elevator and orbital accelerator, a process that swapped seawater for cooling in emergency situations!
This was a route leading directly to the heart of the ruins of the prehistoric civilization!
