Chapter 1931: Chapter 1931
When the news came back, chaos erupted within the major worlds on the frontline. Especially around the portals, many Professionals were coming and going, each appearing hurried and anxious.
"Why are you leaving so soon? This is a great opportunity."
"What great opportunity? That’s the Abyssal plane. I admit the Dark Venerable’s strength is indeed formidable, but it’s simply impossible to win against the Abyss. If we don’t go their way, we can still restrain the Abyss. But initiating an attack, I don’t see it as promising. If we fail, all our worlds would be dragged into the grave."
"You’re being overly alarmist. Has the Dark Venerable ever done anything he wasn’t confident in? As long as he acts, no matter how unbelievable it seems, he always finds a way to win."
Another person chimed in, "Exactly, exactly, such a good opportunity and yet you’re scared. You really are cowards. If we win this time, we could gain great benefits here."
Indeed, riding the wave of victory, even if Du You doesn’t actively assist the ordinary Professionals, they can still gain immense benefits. Even Earth’s will would increase drop rates and chest probabilities.
"In any case, we’re not staying here. Compared to potential benefits, safety is more important to us."
People have different philosophies; some prefer adventure, others stability. It’s fair to say they simply don’t see eye to eye.
After a few exchanges, they parted ways. Some left through the spatial channels, while others entered. It’s not enforced either way. However, more people were entering than leaving, causing some confusion among the observers.
The commander looked at the statistics sheet in his hand, his face puzzled, "Are they so fearless, or do they have enough confidence in His Highness?"
The deputy, equally frustrated, said, "Perhaps it’s the population base. Compared to our battlefield here, the number of Professionals is nowhere near the entire Earth’s alliance. This incident has stirred people across Earth’s alliance. Even if only a small fraction want to come, it might outnumber all our Professionals here."
"The issue now isn’t this, but what if we fail? The loss would be massive. We’ve struggled to get Earth to where it is now. If we..."
If not for his strong abilities and position as commander here, he himself would have wanted to leave. Du You is being reckless, confronting every situation head-on — it’s a sure way to court death.
"There’s no ’if’. If it happens, then we’ll all perish here together."
When the sky falls, the tall men hold it up, and they are the tallest here. If it really comes to the end, they would probably just have to fight to the death here for all Professionals; leaving alive would be almost impossible, unless they defect.
Frankly, they’re left with no other choice. Meanwhile, Du You clearly doesn’t care about the others’ opinions as he presses forward, continuously destroying advanced worlds. Shortly after his entrance, he has already destroyed two nine-tier worlds. Of course, these were worlds swallowed by the Abyss.
Although swallowed, the worlds themselves are still of the ninth tier, so their world cores still exist. If taken back and purified, they can serve as the core foundation for creating ninth-tier worlds.
Without these, making a world grow to the ninth tier would consume immense resources and time.
"Another nine-tier world has appeared. Wonderful." Ahead, another large world emerged.
At this rate, it won’t be long before he collects all the resources he needs. But going any further would bring him too close to the Abyss core, which is dangerous. It seems he can only proceed sideways for now.
As Du You approached that world, he suddenly noticed a group of powerful Abyss Demons appearing.
"Ninth-tier Abyss Demons, how did they appear? And so many at once, do they really not fear us?" Lin Yushi looked on, surprised but with a looming sense of foreboding.
"Something’s wrong, I feel they’re setting an ambush for us here. Master, perhaps we should retreat."
Hearing Lin Yucha’s words, Du You nodded slightly. He isn’t someone who risks everything for pride. He too is sensing torrents of danger and has no desire to press on.
"You’re right, let’s retreat." Just as he turned back, Du You saw his retreat blocked. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
His path wasn’t obstructed by anyone else, but a familiar face: Suharari. In this part of the Void, Suharari is rumored to be the strongest Frost Demon of the Abyss, an existence near the pinnacle of ninth tier.
"Suharari, why are you here? Still haven’t had enough from last time?" Du You spoke.
"Last time was out of necessity, as I needed to account to the Abyss and test you a little. But this time is different; you’ve entered the Abyss territory."
"What? Entered the territory? Impossible," Lin Yucha exclaimed, visibly shocked.
"The heritage of the Abyss is beyond Earth’s comparison. Aside from the Abyssal world and nearby areas, even the range formed by connecting adjacent nine-tier worlds are equivalent to native territory."
Suddenly, Suharari paused, seemingly sensing something, "Enough talk, the Abyss is urging. Allow me to send you on your way." With that, Suharari’s claws suddenly enlarged.
No, not enlarged, but coated with an icy layer. To Du You’s senses, the power within these was terribly formidable. These aren’t ordinary skills, but Suharari’s Origin weapons.
He didn’t even use them last time, indicating he wasn’t serious then. Suddenly, Suharari’s rationality vanished, his eyes turned blood-red, and a frenzy exuded from him. "This is his full power. When fully unleashed, even a Frost Demon loses its senses; a demon is a demon, but it’s also when they’re most dangerous."
Du You suddenly felt a force empowering Suharari. Suharari, already near the peak, suddenly reached full pinnacle strength, and not a weak one at that.
Du You’s voice was dry, "Damn it, the Abyss territory is so vast, they can actually empower demons from such a distance." Du You realized his operation this time had been a bit rash.
