The land of chaotic rules.

It is a rare and special area on the Star Continent. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The disorderly rules turn this area into a perilous land for many extraordinary creatures.

The most typical chaotic area is the magic-free zone.

It should be known that, even in the astral realm, magic can still take effect. Although the magic web cannot cover the astral realm, it still does not affect the use of magic.

But the magic-free zone is different.

Logically, every corner of the Star Continent is covered by the magic web.

But there are always some places where not only the magic web cannot cover, but magic cannot take effect either.

This is because in such dead ends, the foundation of magic's existence has been withdrawn.

Most of it is man-made, similar to how scientists in the novel "The Three-Body Problem" said "physics no longer exists," which was actually just technology being locked by sophons.

Using more powerful rules to cover lower rules, causing some rules to exist but be ineffective, is the situation in most areas.

But another more special situation is what Louis is witnessing now—

The world itself has problems, causing the foundational rules that constitute the world to collapse.

The Eye of Fear is a case of this.

He finally understood why, when forming the team earlier, both the East and West Monet Kingdom directly voted against allowing anyone below legendary to participate except him.

Because in the land of chaotic rules, it is difficult for creatures without self-constructed rules to exert extraordinary power.

Although they wouldn't completely lose their power, the decrease in strength indeed makes it disadvantageous for them to participate in the investigation of the Cosmic Serpent.

The original gap was already large, and the survival probability was low.

With this kind of handicap, they'd lose their lives.

Instead, the Curse Binding Legion...

Louis' lips curled into a smile.

Although the Curse Binding Legion's overall strength is not legendary, everyone still chose to let the Curse Binding Legion join the exploration.

It's not just because they can resurrect; more importantly, they are less constrained.

Indeed.

Just as Louis has already mastered the rules, and even has deeper rules like the Sword Master, the Curse Binding Legion itself is not too afraid of this chaotic rule.

Even if their strength is not enough, the elements constituting their power are high enough.

Even regular members of the Curse Binding Legion rely on the Book of the Dead + Great Sin: Wrath to walk the world.

These two originate from the shadow plane and the bottomless abyss, both top-tier worlds in countless universes.

Corresponding to the two rules of [Shadow Control] and [Abyss Origin], engraved on the Curse Binding Legion, they ultimately became the embodiments of legendary rules.

Their existence is equivalent to the manifestation of legendary rules.

As the infiltration team members delved deeper, an hour had already passed.

The sun hadn't reached its peak yet, but the advancing team's pace was already slowing down.

The chaotic rule area was increasingly affecting them.

Facing Divine Realm creatures head-on, even a demigod would be flustered.

Louis looked at a demigod from the Monet Kingdom and said softly:

"They're about to cross the Mage Tower signal zone."

The Monet Kingdom's demigod felt a chill down his spine and replied gravely, "Even without crossing the signal zone, we are already losing contact with them."

"You are more familiar with the Eye of Fear than we are. How long do you think it'll take for them to approach the theoretical range to observe the Cosmic Serpent?" Louis asked.

"It's a matter of twenty to thirty minutes."

"Then let them pause for now. With one hour left until noon, have them recover their strength first. I'll see if I can re-establish a relay signal network on my end."

The demigod from the Monet Kingdom was overjoyed: "Is it possible to set it up? Ever since the Cosmic Serpent flew into the Eye of Fear, even demigods have not dared to venture deep into the Eye of Fear."

Speaking of this, the demigod from the Monet Kingdom was almost in tears.

They had it tough.

Many years ago, due to the Eye of Fear, a considerable area of their national territory became an unusable dead end.

The depths of the Eye of Fear can only be ventured into by demigods, and even ordinary legends find it dangerous.

If it was merely a one-way dead end, it would have been manageable.

But the Eye of Fear permanently altered the ecology of the Monet Kingdom.

The forces from alternative worlds continually seeping out from it are filled with negative energy that typical professions struggle to utilize.

Anything entangled with negative energy invariably carries some risk.

Currently, the simplest way for the Monet Kingdom to harness this energy through a profession is only the Necromancer.

And with Necromancers holding the dominant professional advantage, whether the two nations like it or not, they are forced to let the entire country's atmosphere become eerily grim.

—In short, it doesn't quite look humane.

They didn't want this either.

But by not utilizing the advantage and opting for ordinary professions, wouldn't it just spiral into deterioration, getting worse and worse?

So they have no choice.

The fragmented Monet Kingdom no longer has much power of choice, only a destiny of being chosen.

Yet, even the not-so-enthusiastically accepted Necromancers remain the treasures of both Monet kingdoms.

If they were to sacrifice all the top elites without any preparation, the leaders of the Monet kingdoms would directly crash into the ground in front of the public.

Luckily, Prince Louis can pull them up a bit.

Just in that moment, the demigod from the West Monet Kingdom resolutely decided to cling tightly to His Highness the Prince's support.
