Chapter 2485 Method
To leave one's homeland to escape disaster?
So be it.
If it came to a life-or-death situation, it was better than having the entire clan annihilated.
In fact, Simone had just reviewed a lot of information in the library.
No world that had encountered Ouroboros had ever survived, and survivors were exceedingly rare.
There had been attempts to teleport.
However, after each teleportation, Ouroboros would always follow, erupting anew in the new world.
Once, a powerful race had teleported more than a dozen times, only to be eventually worn down and completely wiped out.
"Don't worry. We have a way to deal with the Ouroboros infection and prevent it from spreading to new worlds. With our strength, we can help all of your people relocate. Think it over, and if you decide, you can come find us anytime."
The Overseer looked up at everyone and said, "The time is almost here. Get ready, the mission will commence in five minutes."
Upon hearing this, everyone visibly grew tense.
"I see some of you are on your first mission. Let me repeat: everything you see and hear here today must remain confidential. Additionally, during the mission, don't ask why—just follow orders. No sabotaging each other or making any suspicious moves. If I catch any of you..."
The Overseer in the purple fanged mask paused, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone. In a cold voice, he added, "Don't blame me."
"Move out."
The Overseer waved his hand.
The group slowly moved their feet, following the Overseer as they descended the escalator.
As they proceeded down the long escalator passage, Fang Heng went deeper into the underground domain of the White Abyss Arena.
Soon, the passage flattened out, and a massive metal door came into view, blocking their path forward.
Upon closer inspection, Fang Heng noticed that the metal door was inscribed with magic array runes.
He quickly glanced over them, determining that they were primarily defensive magic array runes.
The Overseer in the purple fanged mask stopped in front of the metal door and raised his hand towards a surveillance camera in the high corner.
"Open the passage."
"Buzz..."
With a low hum, the heavy alloy metal door began to rise slowly, responding to the vibrations beneath their feet.
The door was constructed with incredible thickness, measuring over five meters!
The Overseer examined the door as it ascended, then nodded and said, "Let's go."
[Hint: The player is entering a special area where spatial science-related abilities are significantly weakened.]
Fang Heng followed the group through the metal door.
They entered a circular, open area resembling an underground plaza, vast and expansive.
Aside from the recent entrance, the surrounding area was enclosed by walls of alloy metal, including the floor.
It was covered with a thick layer of alloy metal.
"Next, I need to share some secrets about the White Abyss Arena, which must not be disclosed."
The Overseer stopped and said in a grave tone, "Beneath the White Abyss Arena, some monsters have been temporarily sealed. For a long time now, the monsters' strength has been steadily eroding the outer seal."
"As the saying goes, 'It's better to divert than to block.' Instead of allowing the monsters' strength to accumulate and continuously drain the seal's power down below, it's more effective to periodically channel their power out to prevent them from damaging the seal."
The Overseer paused, looked up at the ceiling of the hall, and pointed. He asked, "Do you see that?"
Fang Heng followed the Overseer's gesture and looked up.
Hanging from the ceiling were numerous cages, each suspended by heavy iron chains. The cages were so numerous that they seemed to crowd the entire upper space.
"That is where the sacrifices will be held. Once the ritual begins, the sacrifices will be placed into these cages. Each cage is equipped with a special mechanical device that safely connects it to the upper safe area," the Overseer explained.
"We will be stationed in the upper domain. Periodically, we will place the sacrifices into these cages and then lower them into the ritual domain where you are standing now."
"After being released from the cages, the sacrifices will continuously absorb the power released by the monsters, gradually corrupting and falling into depravity, ultimately becoming puppets controlled by the monsters."
"You will need to destroy the sacrifices completely once they have fully fallen into depravity."
As he spoke, another Overseer, wearing a purple demonic fanged mask, began distributing bracelets to everyone present.
"When the ritual begins, the entire hall will be sealed off, and the demonic aura will be released. The bracelet will help protect you from the monsters' aura. Infuse it with your strength to activate it."
"We will monitor the concentration of the demonic aura from the upper levels. Once it reaches a certain level, we will automatically open the area. Additionally, if any special situation arises, you can press the emergency button over there."
Fang Heng took the bracelet from the Overseer's hand.
The bracelet was made from an unknown gemstone.
Under the light, it emitted a dark purple glow.
"Crystal..."
Fang Heng felt the texture of the bracelet and was immediately reminded of the Nightfall Stone he had encountered in the World of Forests.
[Hint: The player has obtained the item-Bracelet of the Damned.]
Item: Bracelet of the Damned.
Type: Mission item.
Description: This item cannot be stored in the backpack and will drop upon death. When worn, it provides partial resistance to demonic seed pollution. Infusing it with various types of strength can significantly increase the player's resistance to demonic seed pollution.
So it's indeed related to the demonic seed!
Fang Heng quickly reviewed the item description, nodding to himself in understanding.
If his guess was correct, the demonic seed of 'Jealousy' had chosen to suppress the majority of its power beneath the Tower of the White Abyss.
However, the various sealed demonic seeds were incredibly resilient and had an indestructible will, constantly wearing down the seal's strength.
Thus, 'Jealousy' needed to invest substantial time and effort to reinforce the seal continuously.
Eventually, it devised the method of using sacrifices to deplete the demonic seed's strength.
As for why the Overseers didn't directly oversee the sacrifices themselves, Fang Heng suspected it was related to the fact that the Overseers were followers of the demonic seeds.
"That's all for the explanation. The mission difficulty is not high; as long as everyone works together, there should be no danger," the Overseer said after his colleagues had finished distributing the bracelets.
He gave a nod to the crowd and continued, "Get ready. In a moment, the hall will be completely sealed. In five minutes, we will officially begin the ritual. We will gradually release the seal on the monsters, allowing the demonic seed's aura to seep out."
With that, the three Overseers left the ritual domain through the metal door they had entered.
After a few steps, one of them suddenly remembered something and turned back to add, "Oh, one more thing. To prevent any mishaps, spatial abilities cannot be used here. Also, if there is an emergency, press the emergency button over there, and we will immediately stop the ritual."
