A Trap Is Just One Word
In the unknown space, the strange high-dimensional creature Doros and the rust-red comet finished their conversation. Gheros happily handed over the memory of that incident and canceled his confirmation of it.
Then they turned and left this world. Although the Twisted Root was something created by the few of them who twisted the will of this world, and its own status was half a level higher than Iger, it had completely lost its autonomy because its will had been twisted too much. Otherwise, it would not have needed to choose another being to serve as the Twisted Lord. Therefore, they were not worried about whether Iger could split the Twisted Root.
A colossal, pitch-black star manipulates the dark side of other worlds, forming a temporary shadow realm. Everything in this world is controlled by Gresta, and Shud Meier is trapped within this shadow world.
Countless shadow monsters emerged from the shadows, surging towards Shud Meier like a tide.
Every mature Burrowing Demon Worm has the ability to cause strong earthquakes, and as the leader of the Burrowing Demon Worm race, the most powerful Shud Meier naturally also controls the essence of vibration. Every wave of his tentacles can cause strong vibrations, and these vibrations are accompanied by a chanting sound.
Even the shadow monsters with their shadowy structures trembled, their energy mechanisms collapsing and transforming into the most basic particles. Shud Meier loaded information into the tremors and transmitted it to the surroundings, while his mental power roared towards the massive planet, "Do you want to have a life-or-death duel with the great leader of the great Chthonian Race (the name of the Burrowing Demon Worm)?"
"No!" The Black Star waved its tentacles, trailing black mist, calming the tremors that were causing the entire spatial structure to collapse. Then it conveyed its message: "To seal you, I need to connect to the dark sides of at least three worlds, and to kill you, I need to connect to the dark sides of seven worlds."
"But you have to admit, you have failed. The Twisted Root is being dismantled. As long as I hold you back, it will be difficult for you to leave after that." Gresta waved his Starry Arm, and the power of the dark side of the world surged out once again, giving rise to various shadow monsters.
Shude Meier also waved his tentacles, causing a great tremor. His opponent's strength was about the same as his, and under normal circumstances, it was hard to say who would win or lose. However, because he lost the initiative, Shude Meier was bound by Gresta, and it would be quite difficult for him to break out of this shadow world in the short term.
"So you either give up your memories of the Twisted Storm, or we'll beat you until you lose those memories!" Gresta showed no mercy once she gained the upper hand. She was no longer in her juvenile form, where she was almost completely crushed by Dagon. If she were to face Dagon again now, it was hard to say who would win.
In the Land of Calamity, the Twisted Root, despite its valiant resistance, was unable to overcome Iger, which left it with only instinct. It was forced into bankruptcy, and Iger devoured all the recoverable benefits, restoring half of its strength. The remaining fragments of the Root sank into the earth, combining with rocks and minerals to form veins rich in twisted power. Of course, in the future, people preferred to call these veins spirit stone mines.
After the distorted will was cleansed, it was thrown back into operation to continue running the world. Otherwise, their plans to collapse the world would have been hindered. However, because the Twisted Root was split up, the power of the distorted will was greatly reduced. All it could do in the future was to unleash heavenly tribulations.
After this world was cleaned up, apart from a few cultivators and Zombie, there were no other living beings left. Iger soared into the air, broke through the barrier of the world, and turned to arrive outside the shadow world.
A gray light moved toward them, seemingly containing various other structures, resembling a pale gray hybrid—it was Doros.
Seeing that the three big shots had arrived and that the matter in the Land of Calamity was already a fait accompli, Shude Meier said nothing. He released his memory and used the power of the tremor to open a passage, burrowing into the distance. Some Burrowing Demon Worm followed Shude Meier's footsteps, but some were left behind in the Land of Calamity.
The pale gray hybrid surged into the world along a higher-dimensional space, while Iger Avatar into an inverted figure eight, symbolizing an endless ouroboros, and gave birth to a snake egg before spitting out a pale gray chain.
A blue light flashed, and the Time Ring appeared in Lu Li. Taking the snake egg, and lifting the chain on the other side, these two items were what Iger and Doros were going to send into the main world.
After a flash of blue light, Gresta entered the Land of Calamity to receive the dark side of this world, while Doros used His power to obscure and deny certain details of the past.
Iger carefully controlled the chain. If returning to the past was crucial for Doros and Lu Li, who was a Time Ring creature, then Iger had already completed his task. Once the task was completed, it meant he was no longer useful. If he didn't seize the opportunity, he might be kicked out of the game.
On the bustling street, a blue flame appeared out of thin air, and Lu Li's figure appeared in the world ten years ago. It wasn't that Doros couldn't return, but that His existence was too vast. If time were reversed, it would likely cause a distortion of time and space, which would be counterproductive.
Ignoring the panicked people caused by his appearance, Lu Li looked up at the sky. The rust-red body of Gheros, the comet, streaked across the sky, the faults and rifts on its shell clearly visible, and the indescribable Music of the Spheres instantly reached the entire world.
A massive earthquake and tsunami erupted simultaneously, and Shud Meier and Iger awoke at the same time. Guided by the Music of the Spheres, their power formed the nascent storm, but it was far from enough to change the essence of the world or distort the entire world.
At this very moment, more than a decade ago in the main world, the cult of the Eternal City constructed an underground palace and a stone gate to summon Doros, a higher-dimensional being far beyond human comprehension.
During the summoning process, Doros's power passed through this world, and with the intention of having a backup plan, he injected a large amount of power into the storm's embryonic form, triggering a distorting Twisted Storm that would change the entire world. The world's will was caught in the Twisted Storm and twisted into the root will.
In the face of such a massive disaster, no one noticed that a sliver of blue light followed the enormous, distorted gray spatial creature, while a snake egg in its original location was smashed by the falling plane.
The future Iger opened his eyes and roared angrily, "You actually deceived me!"
At the same time, following his senses, he launched a countermeasure to Destruction Doros's chains. When Doros gave the chains, along with You Qiying, to him, he was giving him leverage to put Iger at ease. However, he later discovered that all his senses had failed, and the Twisted Root of the past was blocking all of Iger's power.
Lu Li and Doros teamed up to utterly destroy Iger, passing on the fact that Igor had split the Twisted Root to the Twisted Root of the past. However, since the past was already set in stone, the Twisted Root could not change what was already set in stone, so it could only help Lu Li and Doros to utterly destroy Iger.
I'm going out for dinner later, so Chapter 3 might be a bit late. I'm really sorry.
