Dragon Tower.
internal.
Luke put down the book in the library on the first floor, which was filled with books. When the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar built the Dragon Tower, he plundered a lot of mysterious knowledge and historical books from the elves and dragons, and stored them in the form of information within the Dragon Tower.
The library in the Dragon Tower recorded most of the knowledge and secret history collected by the dragons and elves, which undoubtedly brought great convenience to Luke and his companions.
At least it saved them a lot of effort and time.
After the beacon tower was established, he had already connected to Luke's soul network. Although he could not disturb the original Luke for the time being, he could upload everything he knew to the intelligent Luke, who was responsible for sorting out the information. Intelligent Luke, who was responsible for processing the vast amount of data within Luke's soul network, would naturally decide whether to disturb the original Luke based on the importance of the information, and would handle and distribute the information accordingly.
Apostle Luke is now waiting for his allies.
A space portal opened inside the Dragon Tower, and Master Ancient One, who had obtained the key from intelligent Luke, stepped out of the portal.
"Time is running out, and the door is still a little small," Ancient One said softly after seeing Luke. Although the wormhole was constantly expanding, it was still far from enough to transport beings of their power across the universe. If they forced their way through, they might simply block the wormhole's entrance. Energy convergence and expansion would cause the wormhole's energy to completely unbalance, leading to its collapse and failure.
Furthermore, due to a lack of understanding of the foundations of this world, the demonic allies, who had mastered the essence of the word "Guo", were merely clones, serving as vanguards. This included Ancient One. Although she hadn't yet fully taken that final step, it wasn't that she couldn't take it; it was simply to confirm certain issues that halted her advance.
She had long since discarded the constraints of her human body and become another kind of being. Therefore, it was not difficult for her to use energy to create an avatar for herself that possessed her memories and consciousness.
"The gate's transmission power is all used on you." Luke blinked.
"Tell me about the situation." Ancient One surveyed her surroundings. Even though she had only just arrived, as a manipulator of energy elements, she could already sense the uniqueness of this world. She was astonished by the excellent quality of the energy here, and even more astonished by the fact that, in such a short time, she had already sensed more than one high-quality energy.
"What do you want to know first? Held or this world?" Luke stood behind Ancient One, watching her tentatively reach out and use energy to pull a [book] from the bookshelf.
It's called a book, but it's actually just a carrier of information, capable of presenting its contents in any way you like. Even if you don't understand the language of this world, or can't even read a single word, as long as you have the permission to read, or possess a keen sense of energy and the power to manipulate it delicately, you can extract a stream of information from the so-called bookshelf and materialize it.
Gu Yi does not have the permission to read, nor does she know the reading passwords of the various information flows in this library, but her specialty is cracking and exploiting loopholes to bypass these things.
"Have you verified anything?" Hearing Held's name, Gu Yi finally became interested.
"We're almost at the last step. As long as she can complete it, she'll be able to help you verify all the processes on this path smoothly, and eventually become the nourishment for you to take the next step. She will become your other side, helping you master other opposing energies. When she also reaches the last step, you will have completely completed the path to godhood. Become the god of opposing energies of the twin system, similar to the Trinity Vishanti." Luke explained the progress.
"You did tell me all this. Light and darkness, I can wait." Ancient One was calm, not anxious. With Luke's help, she had found her own path and reached this point in a remarkably short time. She had the patience to wait and ascend to a new Dimensional Devil in perfect condition. And if she succeeded, she would be a top-tier Dimensional Devil.
"I don't think you're in a hurry. Let's talk about the troubles in this world." Luke nodded and changed the subject.
"I'm here to help." Gu Yi closed the book in her hand. On it was some historical information that she wanted to know. After she closed the book, the book automatically turned into a stream of information and returned to its original bookshelf.
"You already know some of the secret history of this world. So you should know which existences we will eventually face, right?" Luke saw Ancient One's actions and knew that she had [read] enough information in a short moment, so he asked.
"Those Titans?" Ancient One turned and looked at Luke. Neither she nor Luke considered the inhabitants of this world to be real enemies, nor did they ever think that they would be defeated and driven away by the natives of this planet.
It has to be said that the protective power of this world is not weak, but this is not enough for them to achieve the final victory.
Given the new energy's stubbornness and adaptability, the moment it first appears in this world, it will only grow stronger without any influence, whether good or bad.
As long as the power of psychic energy is not completely eradicated, the world will always have an unbreakable connection with Luke, the source of energy. Unless Luke can be dealt with once and for all, the ultimate winner of this battle will definitely be them.
But to completely control this world and the universe, one must confront the powerful, godlike entities behind the scenes, such as the Titans and the Void Lords. Each of them represents a source of energy. As energy plunderers, these energy sources and the shareholders of the Energy Bank are virtually incompatible. Only when neither side is able to defeat the other, until both sides tire of fighting, can there be room for reconciliation.
But this possibility is almost the least likely.
The Energy Bank is thriving, and the strength of many shareholders is growing rapidly. They have accepted Luke's theory and energy collection system. After tasting the sweetness, who would be willing to have someone else come and share the cake?
Even if they cannot solve the problem of the world for the time being, they will still have the advantage as time goes by!
"The Titans left some things here, and I want to get them all. In addition, this planet is also a valuable resource. After all, planets with star souls are rare in this universe. I think it has extremely high research value for me." Luke did not hide his desire for knowledge and energy.
"My body doesn't hold much power." Ancient One hesitated. She knew exactly what Luke meant. She was there to act as a force. The opponent she faced this time might be a bit more troublesome.
"That's enough. Can you sense that big guy outside? A group of Titan creations and shadow energy creatures, we should be able to deal with them easily. I'm just worried about the data and technology being damaged." Luke didn't mind this. Energy was not a problem for the Ancient One at the moment. Although it was impossible to exceed the strength ceiling limited by the barrier, it was enough.
…
"Bug, you pissed me off!"
C'Thun was furious, his countless eyes fixed on Agatha, who was plundering his power. If it was just a simple plunder of energy, C'Thun might have been delighted, secretly mocking the other party's audacity.
In this world where all energy can transform and infect life, causing it to mutate and evolve, all energy possesses its own unique properties. Shadow power represents corruption and depravity. Therefore, C'Thun does not hesitate to use his power sparingly.
But the prerequisite is that you can corrupt the other party and still be able to recover.
But the female creature's predation was a fundamental devouring and plundering of the very essence. The power devoured and plundered by the creature was effectively lost forever. Furthermore, the creature wasn't controlled by its shadow power; instead, it was in a state of vigour, as if high on drugs.
After seeing that the magic cast by the other party had turned into shadow power, C'Thun's eyes almost popped out.
Kalecgos and Antonidas were utterly stunned by Agatha's constant provocations against C'Thun, who remained resilient despite repeated attacks. They had never imagined that a battle between mages could be this intense—indescribable.
Magic is elegant, mysterious, and profound, and can only be mastered by the intelligent and gifted.
But the battle between C'Thun and Agatha made them both realize that magic can also be the purest form of power confrontation.
Facing C'Thun's attack, Agatha didn't even try to dodge, but simply transformed it into the purest shadow power and swallowed it up, and absorbed the skills and knowledge carried by the energy release through multiple analyses, just as Held had done when he fought her before.
C'Thun's huge body was a sitting duck, and it never thought of dodging.
So, in Kalecgos's eyes, the two spell-dealing teams had become a back-and-forth between warriors. Perhaps this was the essence of Agatha's new close-combat magic system?
As a mage, judging by the situation, being able to fight an Old God on equal terms, even slightly losing, was beyond the imagination of Antonidas and his companions. Perhaps only a Guardian like Aegwynn, with the power of the Council of Tirisfal, could accomplish this?
It wasn't that Kalecgos and Antonidas didn't want to help, but after being nearly killed by a direct blow from one of C'Thun's tentacles during a rescue, they finally realized reality and distanced themselves, only daring to cast spells at C'Thun from afar. However, with the energy locked, these spells had little effect on the Old God C'Thun. Kalecgos and Antonidas were more like annoying flies.
As time went on, the energy struggle between Agatha and C'Thun became more intense, with the powerful shadow force pulling back and forth between the two.
The situation seemed to be still stagnant, but Kalecgos and Antonidas had already noticed that Agatha was not in the right state. Over a short period of time, her body had begun to transform into a shadow creature. Even if this transformation would be quickly curbed or even reversed, the appearance of this situation instinctively gave Kalecgos and Antonidas a sense of foreboding, believing that Agatha might not be able to withstand the erosion and corruption of the shadows.
C'Thun naturally noticed this scene, so he suddenly released the restraints on his energy and allowed Agatha to devour it. Even when Agatha wanted to stop, C'Thun continued to infuse it in his own way.
Kalecgos and the other two wanted to come over to help and take Agatha away, but before they could get close, they were blocked by dangerous tentacles, driving them away.
As time passed, Agatha's transformation into Shadow seemed to intensify, causing Kalecgos and the others to look worried. However, C'Thun had already realized something was amiss.
He had released so much energy, allowing it to be devoured by the other party. The other party had initially transformed into a shadow life, and now it was still tenacious, just one step away from transforming into a shadow life. He had used all of his previous methods of corruption and depravity, and it seemed that he would succeed in taking the other party down in the next moment, but the other party was like a tumbler, never falling.
C'Thun's body size has shrunk significantly, becoming much smaller. It tentatively reduced the output of shadow energy, but a strange and powerful devouring force emerged from its body.
It was acted!
C'Thun was furious once again. But he helplessly realized that the opponent was now as powerful as him. This made C'Thun feel insulted once again.
If this were its peak, if it hadn't been weakened by the beating it received after being sealed, it wouldn't have cared less about the female creature's tactics. But now, after another eyeball had been punctured and its tentacle severed by the shadow-transformed blade, C'Thun felt an unprecedented sense of sadness and grievance.
Apart from facing the Titans, when had these ancient gods ever suffered such injustice? They had always been the ones who enslaved and commanded others, so how had they fallen to this point?
…
"Are we leaving now?" Ancient One looked at Luke who was about to step into the portal.
"Is there anything else you want?" Luke looked back at her blankly.
"Someone has entered this tower. Doesn't it need to be dealt with?" Gu Yi asked softly.
"Don't worry, Held's still here. She'll handle the situation." Luke shook his head. With the Dragon Tower's support, Held could handle even the five guardian dragons. Besides, Held was responsible for all matters like this from start to finish, so dealing with intruders was naturally her responsibility.
