Divine Treasure!
There is no such thing as something that cannot Absolute Sever or split in this world; if there were, this place would certainly not be reality.
009 has been separated from Arthur, not by his own will, but by being forcibly separated.
After arriving in this space, they discovered many strange and unsettling things.
Their abilities seemed to have all failed; neither Absolute Sever nor any other characteristics could be triggered.
It's pitch black here, but there's one thing: the energy here is incredibly concentrated.
Soul and matter intertwine, all laws dim, and everything becomes absolutely ineffective.
However, they could also sense the rules of the God-Chosen World, but 009's physical body was unsealed, and he traveled in this thick ocean of energy in his physical form.
Suddenly, he saw countless blurry shadows.
These blurry shadows felt somewhat familiar to him.
Lin Feng?
009 saw an invisible entity, seemingly a soul, in the cotton-like water. The invisible entity looked exactly like Lin Feng.
009 took a step back, and as a result, his body passed through an invisible entity again.
This formless entity looks a lot like Nightmare. 009 reached up and covered his forehead. Where is this place? And what are these things?
The underworld?
Where would you find such a thing? That's why Qin Leng's hell is more like the underworld.
009 tried to call upon those invisible entities, but they did not respond at all; in fact, they were completely devoid of consciousness.
Arthur sat motionless on the ground. "Are we dead?"
The Sword Forger tried to touch the ground, which felt like crystal. "That can't be, can it?"
009 didn't say anything, but simply gestured for everyone to move forward and then took the lead.
The concepts of time and space are blurred here; they cannot determine how far they have traveled or how long they have been walking.
Until they came across an open lake.
An old man wearing a straw hat was fishing by the lake. 009 and the others were about to go up and ask him something when the old man spoke first.
The old man's voice was youthful, leaning towards middle age, and not very hoarse.
"Welcome to the Divine Treasury. Congratulations on reaching the end of your journey, and congratulations on soon being here forever, just like those nameless ones."
009 frowned. "And who are you?"
The old man lowered his head. "What's the use of knowing? The fog is coming soon, and those who asked questions like you have become part of the Nameless Mist."
"This is the self-cleaning mechanism of the divine treasure."
A secret treasure?
The Sword Forger stepped forward. "And you? You're unaffected, right?"
The old man lowered his head and smiled, "There must be a guardian here. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. That's the basic logic of becoming a guardian."
"I have already killed the previous guardian. If you can kill me, you can also freely roam within the Nameless Mist and the Divine Treasury."
"But let me make it clear beforehand that, apart from the guardians, all abilities, characteristics, and even Absolute Trait are suppressed here."
Upon hearing this, 009 immediately charged at the old man without saying a word. What's the point of wasting words? If you're going to kill, then do it now!
Unable to summon the God-Slaying Spear, he could only fight with his bare hands, but the old man easily caught his fist.
"There aren't many people who are capable of fighting me right after arriving here, and you are not one of them."
"Mystra was the third Tier 6 I encountered, and also the weakest Tier 6. She lost miserably. Next was the Frost King."
As the old man spoke, a murky fog suddenly swept in from all directions!
"Looks like there's no time left. Let's wait until we can get through the Nameless Mist."
"If you can't hold on, you will end up like those people, becoming nameless."
After the old man finished speaking, before 009 and the others could react, the Nameless Mist engulfed them all at once!
Stepping into the fog, 009 instantly lost his way. At that moment, countless Silk Thread of different colors appeared on his body.
These Silk Thread extended from his body, and it seemed as if hands were constantly pulling on the threads in the mist, as if trying to pull something out of 009's body!
When the contents of the first line came out, 009 immediately lost a segment of his memory.
This is the Nameless Mist; it will gradually peel away everything about you, until finally it takes away even your name.
009 probably never dreamed that his random strike would bring them to the end of their journey.
It is also the end of life, the Cycle Divine Treasure.
Feeling the loss of emotions and memories, 009 quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, but he could not stop the Nameless Mist!
"Let go!!"
009 roared and tried to pull the threads back, but there were hundreds of threads operating on his body at the same time.
His two hands were not enough to stop the Nameless Mist.
009 let out screams of agony. He felt himself losing everything: his self, his power. The more deeply rooted something is, the harder it is to uproot.
Shallow things can be pulled away with a single thread, but things like 009, with his number and abilities, are much harder to pull out with those threads.
But if the fog doesn't dissipate, the final outcome will remain unchanged.
Gradually, 009 began to feel suffocated, as if he had fallen into the deep sea, and his consciousness and memories were becoming blurred.
Scenes from the past gradually appeared before my eyes like a slideshow.
009 reached out to grab, but couldn't grasp the fleeting memories. "Why am I always the one suffering... Why am I the only one who keeps facing setbacks? Can't I just not..."
"Will it go smoothly this time...?"
009 gradually closed his eyes, and his memories went deeper.
A line in the fog captured a deep memory. "When I was still human, I once hoped that one day a god would come and change my life."
"If that god truly exists, I am willing to give everything I have, until death do us part."
A line in the Nameless Mist suddenly snapped open, and 009 abruptly opened his eyes. "My memories of my god... this is the only thing I cannot give you."
"No one can take away my memories of the God I respect and love, nor can the power He has given me!"
009 suddenly grabbed one of the lines, exerted force in his hand, and tore his mind apart, pulling out the God-Slaying Spear!
However, the God-Slaying Spear transformed into a drop of Divine Blood, and at the same time, another concept appeared.
Mortal Transformation to Sage.
This is the name of the Forbidden Potion 009. He reached out and tightly grasped the drop of blood, then suddenly curled up into a ball.
After an unknown amount of time, the Nameless Mist dissipated.
The old man by the lake glanced over and saw that the people there had become transparent and colorless, and even their names had disappeared.
The old man smiled faintly, saying that he had only encountered two people who had willingly sought death.
The rest of them all came here after they died; at least before they were swallowed by the Nameless Mist, none of them wanted to come here.
After being swallowed by the Nameless Mist, they were unable to leave.
