Let Them Grow However They Want Since No One Can See Anyone Anyway

The water-ball elevator plunged straight down. Under Russell's control, it changed direction from time to time, searching for the daunting outline of the trench.

The deeper one went into the ocean, the less light could penetrate. Following the gradual darkening of the water, Russell quickly found his target.

A long, narrow arc-shaped fissure stretched out in the distance, like a gaping mouth or the entrance to a demonic abyss. Its deathly silence left endless room for imagination.

Not pleasant imagination, either!

It was said that even if the world's tallest Mount Everest were thrown into it, it still would not reach the bottom!

Without any visible movement from Russell, the surrounding currents began surging at high speed. The curtain of water ahead expanded in tandem, pulling the water-ball elevator forward with minimal friction as it accelerated toward the trench and plunged down without stopping.

Magic Power flowed into Russell's eyes. Even a thousand meters beneath the sea, he could still see familiar fish, shrimp, squid, octopuses, and large marine creatures such as sperm whales.

After reaching two thousand meters, the number of marine creatures suddenly began to dwindle. Russell could recognize only one kind of fish: anglerfish.

The kind with a huge, blood-filled mouth and two eyes growing from the top of its head. It left its light on in the middle of the night, then swallowed its neighbor whole when the neighbor came knocking to complain.

After that, Russell was completely in the dark. He did not recognize a single fish that appeared, but he had nothing to feel guilty about, because they did not recognize him either.

They descended deeper and deeper. Sunlight could no longer reach them, and the surrounding environment was pitch-black.

There was no light, no sound, as if they were walking through boundless darkness.
