Chapter 530 - 274: Tower of the Abyss
Different?
The words of the Water Dragon caused some confusion among the crowd.
She glanced around and said, "Every time the Creator God recalculates the world, the Six Dragons are reformed. After all, we only need to fulfill our duties, and it doesn’t matter what form we’re in."
Meluna said, "The images of the Six Dragons I’ve seen all had four legs and two wings, only differing in the shape of their horns and the color of their scales."
"Really uncreative." Akuya said in a tone critiquing the predecessors.
Her blue-violet eyes looked at Meimei, who shrank back, having suffered a beating, now timid.
"How about on your side?"
"I was fortunate to have been taught by that Water Dragon; Its form was very similar to a Sea Serpent." Meimei said.
Akuya nodded, "How did you get in touch with the Creation Wedge?"
"It was the Light Dragon and the Dark Dragon that took me there."
Meimei said, "At that time, the Dragon Gods who governed the four major elements had already fallen, and the world was returning to the chaos of its initial birth. All living beings had perished. At the moment of everything’s destruction, the two Dragon Gods glimpsed the unmasked Creation Wedge. Its indescribable radiance pierced the sky and the Bloody Red Land, and there I fell into..."
The white-haired girl recalled distant memories, which for her were from twelve years ago, almost like a past life, feeling somewhat unreal now.
She spread her hands as if confirming her sense of existence, "I entered a state where both spirit and flesh seemed to dissolve. At that moment, I could easily understand that this was a state close to the realm of the Divine Spirit."
"Truly useless." The pink-haired young girl-like Water Dragon pouted.
Meimei didn’t show dissatisfaction, instead, her expression turned dim.
"I am a complete failure. My survival is due to everyone’s hope that I would succeed, always using their own sacrifice to preserve my life. But I still couldn’t make it in time, I’m very useless...You’re right."
She clenched her small fists, "That’s why I want to save Nebis, even if this world isn’t my world."
"This is your world." Otto suddenly said.
"Grandpa Otto." Meimei looked up with red-rimmed eyes.
Otto placed his big hand on her head. Even knowing her real age wasn’t that of a little girl, he still treated her as a young junior.
"You were born to the parents of this life and grew up on the Mengze Island beneath our feet, so you are certainly from here."
Meimei tightly pressed her lips, holding a strained expression without letting it collapse.
"Hmm." She replied with a trembling voice.
"However, you need to apologize to Li Ang." Otto said.
Meimei’s body trembled, and she quickly glanced at Li Ang, who looked a bit awkward. As if recalling some feeling, she stood with her legs together, twisting her slender waist, "He, apologize, huh."
She didn’t dare to say much because Meluna beside her was staring at her like a fierce wolf.
"Saying you’re useless is because we couldn’t get the exact location of the Creation Wedge from you."
Akuya also comfortingly patted Meimei’s shoulder, surprising her a bit.
"Thank you, Bunny."
The pink-haired drinker nodded casually, then sipped lightly while looking at Meluna.
The black-haired Female Swordsman was covered in mud and water; even for her, this state was a bit uncomfortable. She had long shown an intention to leave, but with Li Ang here, everyone could see she was standing purely because of him.
She almost never looked at the Water Dragon, always staring at Li Ang, even continuously changing positions to stand in his line of sight.
Yet he deliberately avoided looking at her, leaving her charming face full of frustration.
"And you? Proud young girl." Akuya asked.
She could see from a more-than-mortal perspective that this Female Swordsman possessed some extraordinary power.
"I killed all the enemies and found the Teleportation Gate in their headquarter."
This answer was quite straightforward; everyone exchanged glances.
"Where is that Teleportation Gate?" the Water Dragon sat up and asked.
"It seems to be called the Abyss Tower." Meluna recalled, looking towards Li Ang for help.
"Tower of the Abyss." Farina said with her arms folded, speaking softly.
Here, the person most familiar with that place was probably the Dragon Witch. She had truly participated in the Banquet of the Gods against that Desperate Secret Realm.
"The Banquet of the Gods scored a great victory before, reaching down to the -23rd layer."
Since the Tower of the Abyss extends from the sky towards the Bloody Red Land, its layers were described with negative numbers.
The Dragon Witch said, "Looking out from the -23rd layer’s window, compared to the Flying Airship hovering outside, it’s less than a fifth of the Tower of the Abyss’s depth. Currently, forces trying to get inside would find it very difficult."
She looked at Meluna with a different meaning in her eyes, mostly respecting her strength.
"That place, huh..."
Akuya pondered for a moment but didn’t say anything.
"It seems it’s still not easy to see it."
"Didn’t you say the Six Dragons only need to perform their duties? Do you also want to contact the Creation Wedge?" Li Ang asked.
"Understanding what the Creator God left behind is also part of our duties. For example, the Creation Library is something we protect from Demons. Do you know the consequences if they obtained the knowledge inside?"
Meimei’s expression changed by the side, seemingly having witnessed those situations firsthand.
"Alas, you two are really clueless, exiled saviors."
Akuya concluded, "Although I’ve never seen it firsthand before, we kind of know the divine intentions, and we’re not surprised by the existence of you two."
