Mushroom Lord in the Underground City
Chapter 633 - 622: The Rift
After the destruction of the former Abnormal Beast Dungeon, the attached space didn’t collapse along with the Underground City but instead was embedded directly into the main world once the Underground City space collapsed.
Divine Wood has special means and knew there was an attached space here, so it gave the coordinates and transfer method as hush money to Lin Jun.
However, whether it clearly understands the exact status of the attached space now is difficult to say.
Over a hundred years, the merging of this attached space with the world’s body has never ceased.
The initially needle-point-sized contact point, under the influence of time, has expanded into a large merged area.
If left unchecked, following the original excavation progress in the Giant Beast Bone Field, within a few years, it will excavate to the merged area. By then, things inside the attached space will inevitably trigger a new wave of excavation fever, reviving the initially prosperous scene of this gradually quieting excavation field.
And now, the transfer ritual has begun.
The transfer ritual provided by Divine Wood is extremely effective; not only did it transfer the unmerged parts of the attached space, but it also separated the parts already merged with the world space.
However, this separation process was clearly anything but gentle.
The Northern Territory, echoing the Giant Beast Bone Field, at the pre-constructed reception ritual, the space trembled non-stop! Immediately following, the soil and rock mixed with giant beast skeletons squeezed out from the center of the ritual.
But this is just the beginning, accompanying the material surge is an even more terrifying spatial pressure.
The originally flat ground undulated and expanded like waves, the Fungus Castle soldiers stationed within tightly pinned their feet to the ground, yet felt their vision recede wildly.
It wasn’t that they were moving, but the space they stood on was forcibly pushed outward by tens of meters by the extraneous space!
Some unfortunate fellows, under the impact of space, faced dislocated bones and torn viscera, which caused screams to rise everywhere for a moment.
Fortunately, everyone was symbiotic with mycelium, the damage was neither instant death nor continuous, crying out louder allowed gradual recovery.
Though the Northern Territory experienced considerable chaos, due to the ritual location being deliberately chosen in the northern uninhabited area, only the soldiers guarding the ritual were affected.
Things were different at the Giant Beast Bone Field.
The portion of the attached space already partially merged with the world was forcibly relocated, like tearing open a hole in the ship’s bottom.
Even though the hole was extremely small relative to the whole world and would naturally heal shortly.
But to Ravenclaw and his trusted aides on-site, it’s a disaster akin to annihilation.
First, the space shrank inward, not a collapse, but the space carrying soil, rocks, and air was pulled toward the center.
Those who didn’t retreat in time were not only pulled forward nearly hundred meters by the space but also faced terrifying spatial overlap, materials originally belonging to different locations were forcibly compressed into the same coordinates by the spatial contraction.
"Ah! My arm!" a trusted aide screamed, as several sharply pointed stones were embedded out of thin air at his right arm’s elbow joint, as if those stones originally grew in his flesh and bones.
Another trusted aide was less fortunate. He stood motionless, appearing unharmed externally, yet his eyes were somewhat dazed.
The next second, he suddenly opened his mouth, spewed blood mixed with organ fragments, and collapsed forward—his organs overlapped with foreign objects in the previous spatial misalignment.
And the most gruesome scene occurred near the center after the space contracted.
Some trusted aides fused halfway with the soil and lost consciousness before realizing what happened.
Two other trusted aides were intertwined together, limbs twisted chaotically, spewing blood while constantly wailing, clearly doomed.
This scene resembled the random transfer of Abyss Magic.
In just a moment, Ravenclaw’s elite trusted aides were more than half dead or injured.
The marquis’s eyes were wide open, his rationality scorched by raging fury and death-facing fear.
He violently pressed Bona, whom he’d stabbed a hole into, on a protruding rock from the space change: "What did you do? What the hell did you set up here?"
The severe pain and the face drenched in explosive rage seemingly awakened Bona slightly from the frenzied dream of completing a "feat."
His eyes wandered, blood foam bubbled from his mouth, shuffled struggle, murmuring intermittently: "I...I just...completed...master’s task...glorious...task..."
"Master? Which master? What exactly is your task? Speak!" Ravenclaw shook him forcefully, wishing to shake his brain matter out.
However, Bona’s eyes held only deep confusion and chaos: "Master...just master...master is...is...task...ritual..."
He spoke incoherently, his logic shattered.
After the Yellow-covered Book departed, the constructed spiritual field should have slowly dissipated, its influence potentially remaining for half a month.
Yet the recent fierce spatial vibrations evidently affected the spiritual field hosted by the departed Yellow-covered Book.
Bona now exists in the chaos of spiritual control about to collapse, while self-awareness hasn’t fully returned, his memories and cognition scattered, difficult to piece together.
"Damn it!" Ravenclaw stared blankly at Bona’s vacant yet chaotic eyes, finally understanding, "So it’s just a manipulated puppet! Useless!"
He tossed Bona to the ground, then kicked him ruthlessly.
"Mar...Marquis!"
A surviving trusted aide, voice trembling uncontrollably, pointed to the center of the ritual.
After the transfer ritual was activated, the original central area has vanished.
Even after a round of self-repair-like spatial contraction, the hollow wasn’t completely filled, a hideous space rift traversed the Giant Beast Bone Field center!
Unlike the Underground City’s rifts connecting other Underground Cities, this rift leads nowhere, its connection is to beyond the world!
And now, from beyond the world, something is continuously pouring in.
First comes dense magic power, intense enough to be almost sticky, revitalizing all mages’ spirits, as if raising a hand could wield endless power.
Yet no one reveals a smile, because closely following, is a vast white mist...
There’s no time to escape, the eruptive mist engulfs everyone present, continuing to expand, gradually enshrouding the whole Giant Beast Bone Field within.
From afar, seeing the sky-full white mist emerging, even Knight Puki halted.
This completely unforeseen scene made a guess surface in Lin Jun’s heart.
That old Deng Divine Wood, might he be the hidden final boss using me to hasten world destruction?
