Chapter 616
As my pulse of perception creeps into the center of the Dark Continent, the cylindrical pillar that grows out from the depths of the abyss becomes visible to me.
The clouds part in the sky to reveal the structure as it seemingly materializes from thin air into existence, climbing higher into the sky.
My divine energy-enhanced vision can see the obsidian black outer barrier of this tower crystal clear, but even with my new Mythic Grade All-Seeing Eye activated, I can't see within it.
The mysterious black pillar shooting up from the abyss is made from a material unknown to me, but with qualities that seem familiar.
From this distance, it's hard to say exactly what it is, but it has very similar characteristics to the black stone of Monk's pyramid back in Sector 1.
The pillar materializes higher and higher into the sky, so high that it eventually reaches too far for my senses to reach.
I watch the abyss swell and flow rapidly like an ocean during a storm, and the eerie sensation that rippled through me from the 3rd surge keeps repeating in my mind.
The fact that my clash with this other True Core at such scale has triggered this event becomes very clear, but what exactly that pillar is raises tons of theories to race through my mind.
Both Ember and the Lich King have stated in the past that the abyss is where the Throne will awaken, but what exactly that means I'm still very much in the dark.
