Chapter 812 The Jobs of the Proponents and the Opponents
"This is the beginning of the end."
As the elevator began to start, Jacob solemnly announced the official commencement of the Narcissus Cross Society's plan of salvation.
What the others, except for Xu Ning and Jacob, didn't know was that as the elevator descended, the self-contained tower they were in also slowly sank down, completely submerged in the sea.
"It feels like we've been descending for ages. Is this tower really that deep? Is our destination the bottom level?"
Paimon had disliked Jacob from the beginning, so even though he had many questions to ask, he refused to ask the purple-skinned man. He just pretended to complain to himself, hoping that the guy would take the initiative to answer his questions.
But Jacob remained lost in his own thoughts until the elevator stopped, without uttering a single word.
Of course, it's also possible that Paimon sensed Paimon's little scheme and deliberately remained silent to annoy her—that's Paimon's guess.
Fortunately, the elevator finally reached the bottom floor. After all, the slow descent through the narrow passage was incredibly nerve-wracking. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but that was all.
"Special Order 172: Warning to those approaching: If you are not... enemy intelligence! Open fire!"
Before anyone could even hear what warning the countless mechanical guards on the last floor had given, almost instantly, all the mechanical guards unleashed their most powerful firepower at the center of the elevator.
Many people present had witnessed Seymour's overwhelming firepower, but even when dealing with the Beast Wolves, Seymour did not fully activate the wide-area annihilation mode, for fear of accidentally injuring his comrades.
However, this "Special Order 172 Execution Team" unleashed all its firepower in this small space almost instantly, not to mention its mechanical teammates, it even wanted to destroy itself and the enemy together.
"Alan's outdated little gadgets..."
Jacob only had time to utter a resentful remark before summoning the Frost Armor, several thick layers of ice armor forming a sphere to protect himself.
Kong could barely manage to stuff Paimon into the Dust Song Pot, and couldn't even mobilize the power of thunder.
Katarina, on the other hand, had already thrown her wind-attribute slime into the air above everyone, hoping that its sacrifice would block the incoming clockwork bombs. As for the flying fire, shotguns, and lasers from other directions, they could only leave it to fate.
The explosion was extremely fast, extremely violent, and extremely brief.
Before the first wave of smoke could even spread, a burst of sharp stone spears shot out from the gaps beside them, accurately pinning all the surrounding mechanical guards to the stone wall.
Then the group, protected by the golden light, was revealed. Except for Jacob, who only protected himself, even the wind slime in the sky received a layer of "golden shield".
Only after the smoke had completely cleared did Xu Ning wave his hand and remove the shield.
"It's said that Alan personally led the mechanical guards to attack this place back then, and after driving away all the members of the Society, he did nothing but close the door and leave... Now it seems that he still had a trick up his sleeve!"
Xu Ning calmly took a sip of wine and waved his hand, signaling Jacob to continue leading the way.
Jacob was clearly not in a good mood. "Even if he foresaw that I would come back here, leaving this garbage would only help me open the door to a new world."
The floor of the room was now completely destroyed by the explosion. Jacob simply stomped his foot, and a hole appeared in the floor, revealing blue water.
“From here downwards, that is where the master rests.”
Jacob jumped straight into the water.
Xu Ning glanced down, smiled slightly, and then jumped in.
They didn't even need to swim; they simply followed Jacob downwards and soon reached the solid ground beneath the seabed.
“I…felt the presence of 'reason'.”
A tremendous tremor slowly reverberated from the seabed, but everyone clearly heard a majestic voice.
Just as Kong was still somewhat doubtful, countless ocean currents suddenly appeared, intertwined, and converged in front of everyone.
Countless deep blue water droplets converged with the ocean currents and gradually merged together, slowly revealing a giant human-shaped body of water before everyone's eyes.
"This is the master? He looks huge and tough to fight."
Paimon, who had secretly climbed out of the pot to watch the commotion, whispered behind Kong's shoulder.
The water-shaped illusionist leaned slightly forward, surveying the crowd below.
“Jacob, you have returned the Holy Sword to me… Hmm? I apologize, Lord Saigong, in my joy at the impending salvation, I neglected your arrival.”
Xu Ning smiled and raised the gourd. "It's alright. You go about your business. I just came to take a look."
The master gave Xu Ning a “deep” look before turning to look at Jacob.
"Although the four quadrants have been reversed, the entire graph of the Flowing Tree has not been realized; not even half of the nodes have been completed..."
Jacob lowered his head in shame. "After all, too much time has passed, and many key points have been found and sealed by the Shadow Chaser."
Does "flowing node" refer to a node that allows the primordial waters of the Fetal Sea to gush forth? A node capable of instantly covering the entire Fengdan with the waters of the Fetal Sea, instantly destroying the kingdom?
Kong suddenly understood what the master was going to do.
However, he suddenly realized that if the "world order" calculated by the master in front of him was correct, the Narcissus Cross Society had also predicted the arrival of the Star-Devouring Whale.
The prediction that Fontaine would perish during the last flood season has undoubtedly come true sooner than expected.
Why did the prophecy come so early?
The monstrous whale that caused the disaster arrived early, and it arrived early because a simpleton brought its master's aura to it, and its master was Brother Xu.
So, was Brother Xu the one who caused all this disaster?
The water goddess Fukaros seems to have foreseen the arrival of the Devouring Whale, and through judgment and self-sacrifice, she returned power to the water dragon, triggering the prophecy in advance to avert the disaster in Fontaine.
If it weren't for the water god's divine intervention, the Grandmaster would have unleashed the primordial ocean, dissolved everyone, and used the power of the Holy Sword to unite the will of all the Fontanians and even the Teyvatians, achieving a new world-destroying or world-saving feat.
But Brother Xu took the lead, subduing the Devouring Whale and absorbing the Primordial Embryo Sea, preventing the world from being destroyed and the world from being saved. He single-handedly handled both the positive and negative aspects. What exactly does he want to do?
"It's alright. Even if I can't save everyone, I'll give my life to save as many as 50%. Give me the Holy Sword and let's look forward to the birth of a new world!"
The master, completely unaware of his impending fate, slowly extended his hand to Jacob.
