"Hahaha, still trying to struggle..."
The childlike voice mocked the golden net that had suddenly appeared, only to cut off almost as soon as it began.
A sizzling sound followed, along with an agonized, heart-rending scream.
"No... what is this?"
Sliced apart by the [Mystic] talent, the insect's body broke into countless fragments. Black smoke billowed up until nothing remained.
"How is this possible..."
Those became his final words.
After being filtered and organized by [Mystic], a densely packed stream of information appeared in Yu Yuan's mind.
"The Old Ones Project... favored ones..."
Yu Yuan examined the newly acquired information, his eyes narrowing slightly.
As far as he remembered, "Old Ones" was hardly a reassuring term!
Behind it usually lay a world of madness and danger.
Not daring to take any chances, he immediately examined the information.
Only then did his tightly furrowed brow slowly relax.
"So it's something different! That gave me a scare. Still, this project seems to have some connection to the Throat of the Deep Sea."
Through Octopus Face's memories, Yu Yuan had gained a thorough understanding of the Abyssal Sea and the Deep-Diving Civilization Universe.
The Abyssal Sea was essentially the Throat of the Deep Sea's private territory now. Even mythic-grade beings such as the Insect Mother rarely ventured there.
After all, with the advantage of his home territory, the Throat of the Deep Sea possessed unparalleled combat strength and superiority.
Even mythic-grade beings would gain nothing by fighting him.
They were far more likely to be taken down by the Throat of the Deep Sea outright.
By the same token, however powerful the Throat of the Deep Sea might be, once he left the deep-sea region and ventured onto land, things changed.
His strength would be severely restricted.
Any being that survived long enough
