Chapter 1395 Running against the current? Is that how it works?
If a young Devouring Abyss is lucky enough to have enough matter to devour, forming a powerful enough Devouring Core, and is not killed, then it has the potential to grow into an adult form like the Abyss Maw.
pity……
“There are quite a few of these little black balls. We’ve seen them a few times, but they all disappear quickly. We don’t know who killed them,” Gree explained.
Both Phoenix and Gretel had lived in the Silent Dead Sea, so Anthony called her out for questioning, based on her knowledge of the young Big Mouth.
"Quite a quantity? We've never seen this anywhere else. Is it a local specialty?" Negris exclaimed in surprise.
“Possibly. Don’t forget this is the ruins of the Devouring Abyss, Terrand. Just as dragon cemeteries are more likely to nurture dragon souls, this place is certainly more likely to nurture the larvae of the Devouring Abyss,” Anthony said.
Duroken nodded: "Then it seems they have a hard time surviving and growing up. If it were easier to breed here, but now there isn't a single mature individual to be seen, it's impossible given their growth pattern. They must have died before they reached adulthood."
“Of course! If we could beat it, we would have killed it long ago. It bites and swallows everything in sight. Once it almost swallowed our whole house. It was Phoenix who lured it away,” Greely said.
Everyone thought it made sense. If it were them, they would definitely kill it on sight to prevent it from growing up. Given its growth rate, the bigger it grew, the more it ate, and it would soon swallow the entire Silent Dead Sea. It was practically the common enemy of all the inhabitants of the Silent Dead Sea.
“It seems that without anyone’s protection, you won’t grow up easily. Alright, follow me and see how big you can grow,” the king said.
As soon as the king finished speaking, Ang pulled with both hands, creating an even smaller Devouring Abyss.
The small black ball in the king's hand twisted slightly, and its mind immediately shifted to the Devouring Abyss that Angra had emerged from. After a brief pause, it broke free from the king's hand and swiftly pounced towards Angra's hands.
Negris scoffed, "Looks like your new pet doesn't really like following you around."
The king wasn't angry at all, and chuckled, "It's alright, the ones Ang raises are the same ones I raise, and you're raised by Ang too."
“I’m not a pet, you old geezer, I’m not going to bite you,” Negris said angrily.
The king rubbed its head and then let it bite, but unfortunately it couldn't break through the Star Bone's defenses.
"Pah, Ang won't help you raise them. Ang already has a big mouth, there won't be enough food for him if he raises more." Seeing that he couldn't bite them, Negris could only pretend to spit out his disgust.
"If it doesn't have enough to eat, then it doesn't need to eat. It doesn't need to fight. But Big Mouth, since it's hard to survive and grow up in this Devouring Abyss, something must be trying to kill it. Remind it to be careful," the king said.
Anthony nodded: "Thanks for the reminder."
"Huh? You were reminded? How were you reminded?" Negris was taken aback; how could it not know?
“Yes, when it left, I told it to shout ‘Help, sir!’ whenever it was in danger,” Anthony said.
After feeding the little black ball a Devouring Abyss, it really refused to leave, staring longingly at Ang's hands. Kram emerged from Ang's hands and 'roared' at it.
This was no ordinary roar. Klam's body swelled up and then shot out like an air cannon, slamming into the little black ball.
The Devouring Abyss, capable of swallowing the heavens, the earth, and even entire planes, was directly struck by this 'cannon' and sent flying.
After tumbling several times, it finally stopped. The little black ball's consciousness timidly glanced at Ang's hand, not daring to get any closer, and instead flew towards the king, biting his right hand again.
Although its face couldn't be seen, everyone could tell from its pitiful appearance that it looked miserable, which made everyone laugh. It was so weak; without anyone to protect it, it was indeed unlikely to survive to adulthood.
"Alright, alright..." Negris was about to say something when he suddenly saw a group of strange creatures rush out of the mist and attack the rock sphere... the dimensional sphere.
These creatures are strangely shaped, but without exception they all have characteristics of both animals and plants. For example, one thing looks like a piece of wood, but beneath the bark are muscle-like fibers.
Without a doubt, these are all from the same lineage as the Ghost Tree, but they should not have a direct connection with the Ghost Tree, because they did not run away when they saw the king approaching.
Upon seeing them appear, the king said, "Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Then, with a leap, his body suddenly flashed and shot out.
"Huh? Fetti Flash?" Negris exclaimed in surprise.
Anthony said, "No, only the left foot flashed, the right leg didn't flash, it wasn't Fetti's flash."
"He even dodges with his left and right feet? What on earth did he learn? He's learned a jumbled mess of things," Negris said irritably.
When I first met the King, he was already a Black Crystal Body, an Immortal King. When I found him in the Chaos Dimension, he had become an Immortal Ruler, the Source of Immortality. After arriving here, the King was brought up by Ang all the way to the Star Skeleton.
But once he reached the level of the Star Lord, no one was there to guide him anymore. It was then that Negris realized that he didn't actually need Ang's guidance; the old immortal could take off on his own.
From being unable to catch up with King Felix to now shining brightly on one leg, how long has it been? Every time I see him, I discover something new.
When those strange creatures saw the king approaching, they not only did not run away, but also sent some of them to try to intercept him. Naturally, they were crushed without a doubt.
The king waved his right hand and used the small black ball to absorb all the broken fragments.
The job was done in just a few minutes. The king floated back, holding up the little black ball in his hand, and said, "This little guy is really useful. I was worried about the plant scraps falling onto the ball, but now it's all swept up by it."
Negris couldn't help but roll his eyes. This was the larva of the Devouring Abyss, and the old geezer was happiest making it sweep up trash? He was truly speechless at these skeletons.
“That’s true. The Strange Trees are troublesome. Their debris falling onto the ball will be a real hassle to clean up,” Negris said.
Ang shook his head. He wasn't worried about that. He had placed treants on each rock sphere. If the remnants of the strange tree fell on them, it wouldn't be easy for them to grow.
"Besides sweeping things, it's quite useful in other situations too. I just flashed, didn't I?" the king said again.
"Huh? Was that flash of light you just saw because of it?" Negris asked in surprise. It had thought the king had made progress again, but it turned out to be due to an external object.
“Yes, it can compress space. When I rush forward against it, it has the same flashing effect as Fetti. If its devouring power were stronger, I could flash even further,” the king said.
Ang suddenly tilted his head: "Running against the current? Like this?"
As he spoke, Ang pulled with both hands, creating a Devouring Abyss, then lunged forward against it. In a flash, Ang disappeared from the spot.
