It was hard to imagine that even after multiple careful checks, and even after Think, who could be said to be one of the smartest creatures in the world, and Jibril, who was a Flügel, personally checked and concluded that there was no abnormality, there was actually a secret hidden there.
The sea water surrounding the island was evaporated in an instant. The overflowing energy was about to have a substantial weight. If Su'er hadn't been protected in the first place, he would have been wiped out to the point where not even a trace was left when the first wave of impact arrived.
After losing the obstruction of the sea water, the three people who had already moved and floated in the air saw the spherical object embedded in the root of the island. Most of it was still buried in the mud and the full picture could not be seen. The pressure that made Su'er feel extremely painful at this moment erupted from this object.
There was no need for an explanation. Su'er, who often went to Think's workshop to satisfy his curiosity in the past two years, easily recognized what it was - a Divine Core.
All of this dramatic change happened in an instant. When the three of them reacted and wanted to explain, the oppressive force that was almost unbearable disappeared in an instant.
The sea water in the distance was flowing back, filling the void here. Apart from the abnormal fluctuation when the Heavenly Smite fell, this unknown Old Deus did not say a word, nor did she have any intention of communicating with the three.
Even after being subjected to a provocation that could be said to have damaged the dignity of an Old Deus, she acted as if she didn't care at all.
Everything was full of strangeness. Think's face was serious. She closed her eyes and stretched out her hand. As the luminous green magic circle unfolded, a translucent light belt flowed down to the sea, passing through the turbulent sea surface that had not yet calmed down.
"...No wonder we didn't find it. It turns out it's been hidden under the island all along. Normally, if it wants to see the light of day, it would probably have to wait for the tectonic plates to slowly rise, right?" Not daring to disturb Think who was doing a test, Su'er said to Jibril in a low voice, "It doesn't seem right? There was no abnormality when we detected the spirits before, and..."
"Why doesn't it look like a truly activated Old Deus?"
It showed itself purely as a Divine Core, and it still had no intention of showing its head. No matter how you looked at it, this looked like an unactivated Divine Core, just like the ones piled up in Think's workshop. However, just now, this unactivated Divine Core really burst out with power.
"Something's not right," Think, who had not spoken until now, finally opened her eyes and said in surprise, "If you use magic to search, there is nothing there. There isn't even a spirit cavity. The flowing spirits can pass through that place without any obstruction, just like in the surrounding mud. There's no stuttering, and no membrane."
But this was obviously impossible. If nothing else, after the magic pushed away the sea water that filled the space, the spherical Divine Core was still well embedded there. It was definitely not mud.
Putting aside the process of trying little by little, especially when Jibril found that even if she moved the Divine Core of this... Old Deus, she still wouldn't react, things became simple.
"Hello? Great existence?"
"May you please show yourself?"
"Hey, hey? Can you hear us?"
"Hello?"
The transition from a respectful audience to a casual greeting was very fast. Su'er even had the guts to reach out and knock on this Divine Core after not getting a response for a long time. However, there was still no reaction. It had the same vibe as a phone, but he didn't dare to say the last word.
This Divine Core was as if it were a normal, unactivated Divine Core, playing dead motionless. It was hard to imagine that this was a part of an Old Deus that had its own will - are you the God of Playing Dead?
They had already tried all the languages that a few people knew in order. However, this Old Deus with a black Divine Core acted as if they didn't exist at all. To be honest, Su'er even suspected that if time could go back, this Old Deus might not have burst out at all at the beginning.
Su'er was no longer a stranger to Old Deus. He knew that these guys could be said to have their own concept of will, but their thinking was also trapped by their own concept, which could be said to be a very simple existence.
And this also meant that as long as this Old Deus made up her mind not to communicate with the outside world, then even Jibril couldn't do anything - after all, her current state was no different from an unactivated Divine Core. The only thing Think could be sure of was that she was definitely different from her unawakened fellow tribesmen and was consciously hiding herself.
The only remaining method was to slowly try, and this trying... lasted for more than half a year.
During this time, which was long for Su'er, he simply asked Think to help him build a residential house on this island with magic, right next to this Divine Core. Every day, from the time he woke up in the morning to the time he went to bed at night, as long as he had time, he would go to the front of the Divine Core and ramble... I mean, apply for a heart-to-heart chat.
Brother Su the idle person.
He didn't put all his hopes on this uncooperative Old Deus. In the past six months, Think and Jibril have also been constantly checking those suspicious locations one by one according to the information recorded in the Siren's few books. Think also had to remotely control the movements of the Elves on land. Although they found some amazing things, including an Phantasma living in the sea and the Demon Race she created, these things basically had nothing to do with the answer Ocan said.
On the contrary, as time passed, the three people focused more and more on this unknown Old Deus. After all, she was the most likely one at the moment.
"How is it? Su'er? Still no reaction?" Jibril suddenly appeared in front of Su'er. She flapped her wings and got close to this Divine Core. She put her ear on it and listened carefully, "If it's really impossible..."
"What are you thinking?" Interrupting Jibril directly, Su'er rolled his eyes in annoyance and continued, "Taking it to the Flügel is a completely different matter, isn't it?"
Yes, this was Jibril's more concerned point.
An activated, but not completely activated, Old Deus in a state between life and non-life was undoubtedly a super collection that the entire Flügel had never heard of until now. It was unique. According to Jibril, her sisters would be willing to fight a grand war for the ownership of this collection.
"Hey~, but it doesn't have any reaction at all, does it?" Complaining with her arms crossed, Jibril kept glancing at the surface of this Divine Core. The expression she wanted could not be more obvious.
This perseverance sometimes made Su'er secretly marvel - this pink-haired Flügel didn't choose to directly take it by force?
