Silent Sea
Roger didn't rush to collect it.
He casually opened the last game, "Crazy Pinball".
Compared to the previous two games.
The framework and concept of this game are much simpler.
This is a game of dodging obstacles and hitting targets.
Roger thought it would be difficult.
But when he tried it out, he discovered—
This thing is way too easy for him!
If only Roger from back then were here.
It's definitely impossible to beat level 1.
But Roger was no longer the same person he once was.
His Nerve Reflex Speed are frighteningly fast.
The computing power provided by the primary grid is also unmatched by ordinary people.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Roger truly mastered "Crazy Pinball" through sheer skill!...
That concludes the discussion.
He officially passed two of the three games in the demo version.
They obtained two Pandora's Treasure.
And an extra bonus.
After selecting to claim.
On the data panel.
"Hint: You have obtained the ' Universal Wrench ', you have obtained the ' Magical Eraser ', you have obtained the Celestial God Game ' Quinan Sword ' (plus the ' Raging Sea Vortex ' DLC and a computer)."
"Universal Wrench: In the Overlord Stance, you can use the Universal Wrench to pry up and move any object, up to three times..."
Magical Eraser: In Overlord Stance, you can erase any object with the eraser, up to three times...
Quinan Sword: A Celestial God Game based on the story of the Quinan Star. It has been stripped of all its extraordinary attributes and can be deployed to any universe as Anchor Point for information flow...
No explanation is needed from Pandora.
Roger also realized the significance of the Quinan Sword.
Up to now.
The three time Closed Loop he completed were not enough to fully support his time travel.
after all.
I initially sought help on the forums after discovering the game "Quinan Sword"! So, someday in the future, I'll probably pass this information on to the next universe...
Only then is the logical point of the spacetime Closed Loop perfect.
By that time.
Perhaps only Roger can completely break free from this vicious cycle.
Only then will he understand the meaning of his summoning! And what he, in countless universes, is fighting against!...
"But what about the Universal Wrench and the Magical Eraser?"
Pandora? Are you still there?
Roger spoke up to inquire.
Very soon.
Pandora's projection reappeared sleepily in front of Roger.
He explained to Roger while yawning:...
"I forgot to tell you, the Overlord Stance is what I mentioned before—a form of existence that transcends all universes..."
"In that state, you can observe the workings of the entire universe, or you might just be looking down on the Nine Great Planets from a higher dimension. Well, I can't really explain it clearly—after all, I've never actually entered that Overlord Stance..."
"Just know that these two items can only be used under very special conditions!"
"Don't ask me where I came from—I stole it from O's Warehouse —I had no choice! The evaluation standards at the Celestial God Game Center are insane. All the mission rewards I prepared were rejected, so I had to use this. Luckily, these things aren't of much use to me anyway..."
"Hint: You've noticed that Pandora's projection is lying..."
Why lie?
Roger looked at Him calmly.
Pandora scratched her head in frustration:
"Dealing with High Perception people is such a hassle! I forgot I'm just a projection, my shielding ability isn't that strong. Ugh, so annoying!"
"Oh right, I forgot I'm a projection! Even if I'm lying, what can you do to me? Go find my real self if you dare! Goodbye!"
As he spoke.
His projection simply vanished!
No matter how Roger shouted.
He did not reappear in Roger's sight.
This left Roger speechless.
If he hadn't genuinely sensed no malice from Pandora...
He's probably really going to dig deeper into the matter!
Looking at it now...
Pandora's lie was probably about the line, "After all, they never actually entered Overlord Stance..."
This means that Pandora has indeed entered this state!
Perhaps it was during that time when he cast the Hollowing Curse, attempting to turn the Nine Great Planets into a game!...
"The gods were all riddle-makers; they deserved their tragic end!"
Roger made a comment.
soon.
The scene changes.
He arrived at the lobby of the Celestial God Game Center, which resembled an arcade.
What lay before him was a dazzling array of games.
But after absorbing such a massive amount of information.
Roger really wasn't in the mood to play any more games!
He entered the lobby with the privileges of a senior player.
Then they found a great spot.
Stand here.
He could use the power of the Star Master Authority to push apart the two Historical World.
Through Roger's tireless efforts.
The temporarily formed spacetime node was resolved.
Through the Star Master Authority.
He saw that both the Green Whisper Mountains and the West Tallen bypassed the special node where the Celestial God Game Center was located.
Then, entangled with each other, they made a spectacular return to the present world!
Seeing this scene.
Roger's brow furrowed slightly—
The two Historical World have separated.
But they were too close together! He had to keep a close eye on their return.
Otherwise, they might stick together again.
Something was bound to happen!
Then his mind changed.
After leaving the Star Lord's mark at the Celestial God Game Center.
Roger wielded his power.
A Teleportation Gate appeared before him.
The next moment.
He strode into the Teleportation Gate!
"Hint: You have arrived in the Historical World ' Green Whisper Mountains '..."
What comes into view is an endless expanse of ocean.
Beneath the pitch-black sea surface.
A cacophony of wild, mysterious calls resounded.
The aura of calamity was everywhere.
The restless monsters turned into flashing red dots in Roger's field of vision! "The situation in the Green Whisper Mountains is really this bad!"
It's similar to what the orc Martial Artist Blyde said.
After that sudden calamity struck.
This place has become a vast ocean.
Roger flew over the sea.
Besides the scent of the ocean, he also sensed the shadow of the Calamity Goddess —a discovery that surprised him, but he quickly pieced together all the clues in his mind.
He then understood exactly what had happened here—
"In the beginning, the Slaughter Mask summoned the Calamity Goddess;"
The latter created Great Flood capable of destroying the world;
The flood was contained by the Ether Witch using her divine kingdom...
Roger was once impressed by the Ether Witch's actions.
Now it seems...
She didn't actually absorb the Great Flood at all!
Instead, she randomly selected a Historical World that she didn't care about and put it in.
And this world is naturally the Green Whisper Mountains right before our eyes.
Considering that there may be some discrepancy Historical World and the present time, we should take into account that there may be some discrepancy between the timeline of the return to the present world.
So the timing should also match.
It's a pity.
The common people of Pearl Plains escaped the wrath of the Calamity Goddess.
But the people of the Green Whisper Mountains had to bear the consequences.
Roger felt somewhat uneasy.
At this point...
He had no interest in blaming the Ether Witch.
After all, Roger also realized that the other party was ultimately just a sword.
Their behavior cannot be measured by human standards.
And ever since Mystra was reincarnated.
Roger never caught any trace of the Ether Witch again.
There's no way to even try to settle accounts with her.
Perhaps this is destiny.
"In the end, it was because I wasn't strong enough back then. If I had taken control of the Star Master Authority back then, the creatures of the Green Whisper Mountains wouldn't have suffered this calamity..."
Roger sighed softly.
He did not allow himself to immerse himself in this faint sadness.
Instead, they quickly cheered up.
As the level of power continues to increase.
He constantly reminded himself not to abandon his humanity; but at the same time, he also realized that he had to set his sights on something higher.
If you wallow in self-pity over a trivial matter.
Then he will probably never have peace.
This kind of attitude towards things is destined to prevent one from achieving great things!
"Let's go check on Cisco first..."
Roger took a deep breath.
They decided to first locate Sophie and her brother.
No matter what, Cisco is his apprentice.
Although I don't care as much about the piano.
But since we've come to the Green Whisper Mountains...
Of course, I have to go there myself.
Thinking this way.
Roger was fully activating the Star Master Authority.
He quickly gathered information about this Historical World, as well as the coordinates of Sophie and the others.
Very soon.
Two bright red dots appeared in Roger's field of vision!
"Huh?"
"Sophie and the others are actually in the ocean right now?"
Roger discovered that the little red dots representing Sophie and Felton were extremely far from his current location! They were in a much deeper world beneath the surface of the sea!
"Too.
The survivor camps on the sea were all things you could see at a glance...
Cisco and Stephanie certainly aren't trapped in a place like this...
According to Blyde, ******** might be trapped deep underground...
This aligns with his initial statement about setting out to find the underground palace of Taren...
Lost in thought.
Roger sank into the sea without hesitation.
The Star Master Authority and the Ocean Authority Rank are activated simultaneously.
He darted through the sea like lightning.
10 minutes later.
Roger arrived at the bottom of the sea.
The seabed of the Green Whisper Mountains is covered by only a thin layer of quicksand.
Beneath the quicksand lies an incredibly solid earth's crust.
Dark red starlight occasionally flickered on the pitch-black earth's crust.
If there is a strong ocean current passing by.
It was as if someone was pulling the bellows in a blacksmith's shop at the edge of the earth's crust.
The dark red starlight will scatter across the seabed like sparks.
Roger moved closer.
Place your hands on the rocky wall at the bottom of the sea.
A series of unusual sensory fluctuations came continuously.
Roger noticed.
The small red dots representing Sophie and the others in the field of vision are still further below in the distance.
Geographical information can be obtained from the control of the Star Master Authority.
This is the end of the earth!
This means that Sophie and her group have entered the depths of the earth.
Roger attempted to continue exercising his Star Master Authority in this location.
However, they discovered that the earth's crust, shimmering with a dark red glow, had formed a highly repulsive barrier here.
The power of authority could not penetrate this place! But Roger was not discouraged.
He changed his posture.
Another specialty was activated—
Ore Vein Perception!
The next second.
His vision then revealed various scenes beneath the dark earth's crust!
"Hint: You have discovered the lower world - the Silent Sea"
"Silent Sea: The Underground World of the Green Whisper Mountains".
There is a special rule here.
That is, there is no sound here.
What you say cannot reach the ears of another person.
You also cannot communicate through Super-Sense Link.
Sound doesn't exist here...
"The world at the grassroots level?"
This was a novelty for Roger.
He then focused on sensing for a while.
It has been confirmed that the Green Whisper Mountains are indeed a rare double-layered structure.
The Upper World is the world where the orc Martial Artist Blyde lived, but it has now been submerged by Great Flood from the Calamity Goddess, with less than one in a hundred survivors.
And tens of thousands of meters beneath the dark, hard crust of the earth, there exists a vast, boundless ocean! There, countless lives and all kinds of civilizations are nurtured.
However, the environment there is quite peculiar.
People cannot communicate through sound.
Sound cannot travel here either.
Intuition told Roger.
There must be a deeper reason behind this unusual rule!
Considering that the range of Ore Vein Perception is ultimately not as large as that of authority.
He then began searching for the entrance to the Silent Sea.
Deep in the ocean.
Roger's figure moved like an electric eel.
He moved quickly along the cracks in the earth's crust.
Not long after.
He swam over a thousand nautical miles in one go.
Only then did I vaguely find a crack.
The crack was extremely narrow.
Even larger sea fish cannot pass through.
But given Roger's drilling skills...
This obstacle is naturally no match for him.
He crawled down into the crack.
They passed through that peculiar barrier of rules with remarkable ease.
Next, continue.
The "Earth Escape" skill is now available.
So Roger burrowed underground.
It took quite a while to escape the dull and boring rocky area.
The Silent Sea.
Upper section.
Roger's figure emerged from the ceiling-like layer of rock.
Below is the ocean, its black waves surging.
From a distance, those rolling waves looked like oil.
Roger is getting close.
Only then was it confirmed that this was normal seawater.
It's a bit salty and a bit fishy.
But that's what the ocean tastes like.
The Ocean Authority Rank within his body can attest to this.
"There really are living things in this kind of place..."
Roger flew at high speed.
Observe as you fly.
As the number of creatures he encounters increases, so too does his activity level.
His feelings grew stronger with each passing moment.
In general, the organisms in the Earth Sea can be divided into two types: terrestrial organisms and marine organisms.
Most terrestrial creatures live on islands in the ocean.
Generally speaking, they are large islands.
According to Roger's observations.
There are many islands here, and the terrain is stable.
Many large islands have inland lands that are no different from those on the mainland.
It is very fertile there.
It is suitable for growing all kinds of crops.
Large islands of this type are usually inhabited by a large number of Undersea People.
This humanoid creature is extremely similar to humans.
The difference is...
They have no ears.
Their mouths are used solely for eating.
Roger had observed how these creatures communicated.
They were found to primarily use sign language, supplemented by body language.
Perhaps it's a matter of practice makes perfect.
There were no major obstacles in communication among the Undersea People.
The Undersea People also had their own writing system.
It's just relatively simple.
It can only express some extremely broad concepts.
On the surface of the Earth Sea.
Most of the place was dark.
Only the islands inhabited by the Undersea People are perpetually illuminated by bright light.
Roger discovered that the radiant light that shone around the island like the sun was the entrails of some kind of marine creature.
This radiance ensured the growth of crops and Undersea People's need for light.
However, this type of light source has a shelf life.
Once the light is exhausted.
The Undersea People might have either hunted sea creatures that could provide them with light.
Otherwise, the island will gradually fall into obscurity.
It became a deserted island that no one cared about.
Roger was intrigued by the stories of the Undersea People and the islands.
But he soon realized it.
Here.
The truly bizarre and wondrous things are actually beneath the ocean!
Countless strange races live there.
Most of them glow.
They are the true protagonists of Earthsea.
They are called the "Native Sea Race".
"Native Sea Race: A special race that possesses high intelligence and has achieved perfect coexistence with Aberrant Matter;
For the purposes of the Sin Mark and the Extermination Order, the Native Sea Race can be regarded as monsters;
For Buddhist Fire, the Native Sea Race can also be regarded as mutated monsters with humanity still intact;
But the Native Sea Race are also a race that created a brilliant civilization..."
