The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and the Magician felt he was back to his old ways.
The clone, who loves watching the drama unfold, wholeheartedly agrees.
"What are you waiting for? Draw it now!"
"We, who are free, should not be bound to the backs of the Abyss Puppet."
"Hurry up, I'm still waiting to inherit your Soul Orb."
"Hehehehe! I have a feeling that the Magician will become the shortest-lived Heavenly King in Circus history."
Who would be the best candidate to inherit the Magician's Soul Orb?
"..."
Listening to the clones' incessant babbling, the Magician roared, "I'm not dead yet!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Qin Ze, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Qin Ze sighed, "That's just how the Troupe Leader is. You guys just need to meditate and cultivate, and mindlessly self-destruct, while I, as the Troupe Leader, have to consider many more things."
The Dharma King: "He just chickened out. Those who know, know."
In the more than one hour since he set off, Qin Ze had not seen a single strange beast.
The strange beasts that used to be as common as weeds are now nowhere to be found.
This is a good thing for Abyss Travelers.
Without the interference of strange beasts, the journey will be much faster.
Qin Ze estimated that if they hitched a ride on the Abyss Puppet, it would take them at least five Abyss Days to reach the Myriad Races Black Market.
For Miss Sword Case, who is eager to find her child, it has indeed been a long process.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Ze tossed a piece of Source Crystal to the Magician.
"Go ahead and keep going. It doesn't matter if you blow yourself to death; the name of the Magician will be passed on."
The Magician happily accepted the Source Crystal, waving his hand and saying, "I'm very reliable."
After absorbing the Source Crystal, the Magician became several years younger.
My back doesn't hurt anymore, my legs don't ache anymore, and I can even play ten games.
" Skill of the God, activate!"
Splash--
A magnificent Three-Phase Cards unfolds before the Magician.
The Magician pinched one of the cards between his right index and middle fingers and then flung it into the distance.
"Now is the moment to witness a miracle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Three-Phase Cards unleashed a towering golden beam of light.
After a few breaths, the top and bottom ends of the beam of light began to shrink towards the center, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank into a single point.
With a "bang," the light spread out, revealing a hundred-meter-high spatial portal before everyone.
The Magician was overjoyed. "From now on, I will never allow anyone to speak loudly to me again!"
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows, surprised that he had actually gotten lucky and opened a portal.
Abyss Puppet tossed his head and instantly disappeared into the spatial portal.
In the blink of an eye, the Abyss Puppet carried everyone out of the void.
Qin Ze looked down and saw countless strange beasts swarming below.
The beasts, who had been lying down and dozing off, all looked up when they heard the noise above them.
They were all stunned for a moment; none of the beasts had ordered takeout.
Qin Ze grabbed the Magician: "You're telling me this is the Myriad Races Black Market?"
The Magician shrugged. "I don't know. The randomly generated ability only opens a door to anywhere; who knows what's on the other side?"
Qin Ze really wanted to kick this guy down.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
The Magician shrugged. "Honestly, we're on the same wavelength. What difference does it make whether I say it or not?"
"You're clearly a gambler too, wanting to take a gamble that behind that door lies the Myriad Races Black Market."
Qin Ze casually tossed him aside. "Why are you spouting such obvious truths?"
The number of strange beasts on the ground was simply too great; even the Tide in Jiang City paled in comparison.
"I was wondering why we hadn't seen any of the strange beasts in the Abyss lately; turns out they've all gathered here."
The sudden appearance of the Abyss Puppet was like pouring hot oil into cold water; the beast horde, realizing what was happening, immediately erupted into chaos.
Flying beasts took flight, surging from all directions toward Qin Ze on the back of the Abyss Puppet.
It was a dense, unobstructed expanse, like a black curtain.
"With so many strange beasts having a party here, there must be something fishy going on."
"Could it be that spring has arrived?"
"Strange beasts all grow out of the ground, you idiot."
"Young scientists, stop your research and get to work!"
"..."
Even a clone who had seen countless storms couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine upon seeing such a terrifying number of strange beasts.
Qin Ze ordered Abyss Puppet to fly away into the distance.
However, the area covered by the beasts on the ground was too large, and the air was filled with flying monsters.
The Heavenly King surrounded Qin Ze, forming the formation of the Avengers Alliance.
"Accelerate!"
Abyss Puppet focused solely on charging forward.
Qin Ze released a giant blue flame dragon, which stirred up the surrounding area, igniting any approaching beasts one after another.
"I am the thunder!"
The Dharma King transformed into his beast form, lifting his feet off the back of the Abyss Puppet, and released all the pent-up anger he had been holding back during the battle with the Spirit Divination Stick.
A series of flashing lightning bolts wove a large net above everyone's heads, causing the strange beasts that touched it to freeze in place.
Countless strange beasts fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Qin Ze frowned. "We can't kill them all, there are just too many."
The Mist Lord released Fog of War, and everyone disappeared into the domain.
The strange beasts turned into headless flies, bumping around aimlessly, with many even colliding face-to-face.
The Mist Lord clapped his hands. "If we want to leave, no one can stop us."
Qin Ze looked down at the strange beasts thronging the ground, wondering why they had gathered there.
"Go first."
The scale of the alien beasts was several orders of magnitude more terrifying than that of the New Land. Abyss Puppet flew for more than a minute, but still hadn't flown out of the territory of the alien beasts on the ground.
What's going on?
Why is the fog thinning?
Qin Ze noticed that the Fog of War was rapidly dissipating.
The rate at Mist Lord cannot even keep up with the rate at which it disappears.
There's a master.
Qin Ze's gaze pierced through the domain and saw a toad-like beast lying quietly on the clouds far behind them.
Its belly bulged high, its gaping maw devouring the Fog of War in the air.
Qin Ze's expression was solemn. "SS-rank."
The thing he least wanted to see still happened.
Such a large herd of beasts must contain S-rank or higher beasts, and their numbers must be considerable.
Dozens of S-class or higher alien beasts pounced on them all at once; they'll all have to stay here today.
On a high ground at the Sidelines the herd, two Spirit Clan were lying in wait behind the hillside, observing the situation.
One of them scratched his face and asked, "Where did these people come from?"
Someone nearby replied, "I didn't see clearly. He suddenly plunged into the middle of the herd. He must have something seriously wrong with his head."
"What's going on?" A bald man approached. "I've only been on patrol for a short while, how come there's been a riot?"
The man scratching his face pointed to the sky. "They were the ones who descended from the sky riding Abyss Puppet, disturbing the beast herd."
The bald man's expression was grave. "Alien races capable of controlling Abyss Puppet..."
"You all stay here and keep watch; I'm going to report to my superiors."
