"It’s definitely freezing..."
Walking through the icebound world, the Demon Hunter Girl stepped on the thick ice crust.
She looked at the desolate, lifeless world completely sealed by the cold, exhaled a long breath, then couldn’t help but shiver.
Despite carrying a Protective Talisman, handcrafted by Miss Witch, with its mysterious Techniques blessed by an Immortal, multiple layers of Barriers, Force Fields, and Shields constantly rotated, maintaining stable environntal paraters in the space around her and isolating it from the outside world.
This harsh, cold environnt could not reach her.
However, the visual impact was still too overwhelming. Hiri couldn’t help but mutter, thinking she should have dressed warr for this.
In such an environnt, her current outfit seed too thin...
But co to think of it, was the "white frost" disaster in her own world the sa thing? Would it lead to a similar result, freezing the entire planet and ceasing all life?
The Demon Hunter Girl pondered over this, lost in thought, and soon arrived at a huge fissure on the thick ice crust, where the ice covering the whole celestial body had cracked open, stretching hundreds of kiloters, its deep end leading to unknown places.
"This should be it..."
Hiri observed for a mont, then took a deep breath and stepped inside.
She had co all the way here for a reason. This huge crack seed to lead straight to the underground, running through tens of kiloters of ice layers to the deepest point, which was her destination and the ultimate goal of her journey.
Of course, Miss Hiri wasn’t familiar with the situation on Jupiter’s Moon Europa; she had been called here on short notice for this mission.
Therefore, she didn’t know what lay beneath the ice, only instinctively feeling it was where soone was secluded—
Although the Demon Hunter Girl couldn’t understand what mysterious things were being done there, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed in the real dinsion. It didn’t affect soone’s normal activities, and efficiency had even increased geotrically.
After all, first ca the mastery of the Technique for creating clones, allowing multi-thread capability...
Then the completion of Human Intelligence Integration, mastering god-like computational power, fully unleashing multi-core performance...
Such results were only natural; having achieved this level, it would be strange if the effect hadn’t received enough improvent.
Speaking of which, this was the first ti the Demon Hunter Girl had reached Jupiter’s Moon Europa. If her abilities weren’t needed, she probably wouldn’t have set foot on this icebound world today.
Delving into the massive ice fissure, it didn’t take long before, following the correct route, she encountered no obstacles and reached the end of a side path, standing before a huge bronze door seemingly frozen within the ice, or perhaps constructed directly in the ice layer.
Mysterious and enigmatic patterns adorned the bronze door, surrounded by densely engraved strange characters.
At first glance, it looked identical in style to the teleportation device used earlier, which was the Mysterious Obelisk, at least giving Hiri a sense of consistency.
This showed she hadn’t found the wrong place...
She took out the prepared token, and whether it was because of a response from magical chanisms inside, the bronze door creaked open slowly. The scene behind the door unfolded before her eyes—it was a gigantic cavern, the vast emptiness only accentuated by the presence of four towering bronze statues standing silently in the corners.
They remained motionless, covered in thick frost on their tal shells, quietly guarding the four corners.
Hiri glanced around and then gently stepped inside.
In the center of the cavern was a circular, flat platform, approximately ten ters in diater.
Under the gaze of four dormant, seemingly lifeless Golems, the Demon Hunter Girl lightly furrowed her brows, stepping onto the round platform and pressing down on the raised part in the middle... She wanted to comnt on the simplicity of the design, which felt a bit strange despite being intuitive.
As the chanism activated, the round platform emitted a dull sound and began descending slowly, quickly and smoothly carrying her downward.
Hiri felt herself descending rapidly through a vertical tunnel opened within the ice layer, realizing this platform was indeed a functioning magic elevator... She quickly descended through the vertical ice tunnel, but with the ice being tens of kiloters thick, it was not a minor distance and thus took quite a bit of ti.
Moreover, along the journey, so parts of the ice walls beca thin like faintly visible glass, giving her a fleeting glimpse of nurous branch paths resembling mining tunnels, crisscrossing throughout the massive ice layer.
—Was this dug out by sothing?
—Could life really exist in such a harsh, cold world?
Such thoughts flashed in the Demon Hunter Girl’s mind as she subconsciously tried to judge the creature features of those that might have excavated such tunnels—size, danger level, etc., a skill honed by Demon Hunter training, trying to speculate demon characteristics from traces.
A seasoned Demon Hunter could quickly find a potential suspect, distinguishing subtypes or similar conditions.
And even if she hadn’t encountered such a monster, she could still gather a rough idea through clues.
However, Hiri was rely speculating out of habit, without feeling tense, just maintaining a level of vigilance without completely letting her guard down. After all, this was soone’s secluded place, unlikely to have uncontrollable dangers.
She didn’t know how much ti had passed before she finally felt the platform, like a magic elevator, begin to slow, seemingly approaching its deepest point.
Is it here?
This thought arose in my mind.
At the sa ti, as if vaguely sensing a certain kind of heart-palpitating aura approaching, the Demon Hunter Girl couldn’t help but shiver. The next mont, the thick ice layer in front of her beca transparent once again, allowing her to see her current situation with utmost clarity—
It seed she had detached from the thick ice layer above...
But the vertical tunnel still hadn’t reached the end...
——it continued to extend straight down.
Like a long icicle hanging from the eaves, only a thin layer of ice wall enveloped the vertically descending tunnel, diving directly from the ice layer into the dark ocean below. Right now, it felt like she was in a slender glass pipe, descending in an elevator, with the dark, lightless deep sea below.
"...!!"
Hiri was stunned for a mont, and the instant she realized what was happening, she felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, deeply understanding her situation, she suddenly felt a bit regretful. Before this, she didn’t have thalassophobia, but after today, she might develop it.
After a shiver, she tightly clenched her teeth, instinctively holding her breath, not daring to make any sound, then followed that heart-throbbing sensation, squinting into the dark, lightless deep sea.
Supposedly, there was nothing to be seen.
But she saw it.
In the depths shrouded in endless darkness, a colossal silhouette stood silently, spanning across the vastness of this dark abyss, exuding an aura deeper than darkness, colder than the deep sea, the pulse of a great life causing gravity, magnetic fields, temperature, even space around...
Everything, everything was distorted.
The colossal figure filled the heavens and the earth, filling the entire space, as if connecting the heaven and earth of this deep-sea world. Underneath the shadows of countless sea monsters, like a giant vortex black hole at the center of the sea’s eye... she held her breath, her limbs felt stiff and icy.
At this mont, in Hiri’s perception, there was only one thought left, and that was the overwhelming sense of insignificance.
Without any reason, she simply saw it and was convinced that she had seen sothing.
Undoubtedly, that was the very presence of a majestic god.
Even though it was impossible to fully make it out, words were far from adequate to describe—the grandeur and epic sense revealed just from a glimpse!!
And in such a daze, she vaguely rembered a scene she had witnessed before, so similar, so familiar...
In that dangerous world, what she witnessed was the Tiamat God! That was the beginning of creation, the source of all kinds, the Mother of Creation with endless strength and beauty, also representing one of the original sins as Human Evil, the Beast mastering the logic of "Return"!
Although that ancient god almost never lifted a hand, the feeling of powerlessness akin to what she felt at this mont was virtually identical, surpassing the bounds of imagination... At this mont, she vaguely wondered in disbelief, had that person also reached this level?
However, from that world back then—
Only a few years have passed.
......
...
Ti flies.
In the Dungeon World.
The location was on the mountain of Demon Mountain, at what seed to be a bustling party site.
"What great strength, completely unlike your physique..."
Saying this in wondernt, was a little girl with light tea-colored shoulder-length hair, tied into a bundle near the ends, also with a child-like physique, and disproportionately long and curved horns on either side of her head.
She extended her slender arm, firmly locking her fingers with the young man opposite her, pressing his arm steadily onto the table, while curiously examining her opponent, uttering such words.
"I should be the one saying that..."
Gu Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth, also scrutinized the little girl opposite him.
In this simple arm-wrestling strength contest, he lost without suspense, even using a Strength Amplification Spell, yet the opponent’s physical ability was absurdly outstanding, frightening to the point of being chilling. His focus was not primarily on strength, so naturally, he couldn’t contend with her.
"But I’m a ghost, and even among ghosts, not many have greater strength than I do..."
The petite ghost girl released his hand, curiously staring at him.
"But with your human foundation, this strength might already surpass many ghosts, wouldn’t you say?"
