Chapter 954: Five Broken Stone Eggs (Part One)
Fei told Hazel Bank about his experience inside the giant stone egg, and the Undead Mage pondered.
“If that is the case, these 72 giant stone eggs all have different independent spaces inside. These spaces were created by powerful techniques to seal these demons of Hell. Such a terrifying power! Even if we are back at the Mythical Era where masters were everywhere, only the godly-king-level masters could have this power.”
“Being able to seal 72 demons of Hell is already terrifying enough; they are like gods in Hell. However, we can’t ignore one possibility; perhaps it was a group of people instead of one person who sealed the demons…”
Fei suddenly thought of something while he stared at this giant broken stone egg, and he smiled and said, “However, it isn’t important to figure out who created this place. More importantly… don’t you think that this interesting difference in the speed of time is very beneficial to us?”
“You mean?” The Undead Mage’s eyes lit up.
However, he quickly shook his head and said, “Time passes faster inside that space, so it is meaningless for us. In addition, you mentioned that there are no natural elements inside the space, so no warriors or mages could cultivate in there. Except for imprisoning people, I can’t think of another use.”
Fei laughed out loud.
“That is a bit off. Haha! We have a powerful research institute, [Mad Scientists Laboratory]. Those two mad scientists have taught a group of little mad scientists, and nothing could stop this bunch of people. I only need to provide this small world to them, and I’m sure that they could figure out the Law of Time of this space. Besides, I’m not hoping that they could create another world. All that they have to do is to alter the Law of Time and make it go slower inside this space compared to the outside world; that will be more than enough. If that happens, this small world will be beneficial to us.”
The Undead Mage’s eyes lit up, and he said, “That is right; this is a great idea. Chambord has a weaker foundation and lacks accumulation. In this chaotic world, time is the most valuable resource. If the Law of Time inside this small world can be altered to the degree where one day in there equals one minute out here, it will be insane! One year in there will only be 365 minutes out here! Haha! Even if people can’t cultivate in there, we can do other things. For example, if we put the mystical gold armor manufacturing plant in there, a ton of war machines can be built in a short time. Also, we can make all kinds of magic scrolls… It is perfect since it is a natural magic energy vacuum!”
Fei nodded and said, “That is right. However, everything that you said can only be done if one condition is met.”
“Yeah. We have to make sure that this sealed space and this giant stone egg are completely safe; there can’t be any hidden danger.”
“That is right.” Fei nodded and said, “Since this is the case, let’s do what we did before and look around individually. We have to count how many demons of Hell actually escaped. Also, we need to inspect the sealed eggs and estimate how long they can last. Then, we need to figure out if there is a way to strengthen the seals on these stone eggs. We will plan the rest once these are figured out.”
The Undead Mage nodded, and he dashed to the right to search.
Fei paused for a second before dashing to the left.
This sealed space was as grand as the cosmos, and it was boundless. It required a lot of energy and time to search around completely. Even though Fei and Hazel Bank were powerful, rare masters, they only finished searching after a full day.
Chapter 954: Five Broken Stone Eggs (Part Two)
One day later, the two met up at the location from before.
“You can go first.” Fei’s expression showed that he wasn’t in a good mood.
“The situation is worse than I thought,” the Undead Mage said in all seriousness, “Not counting the one that we discovered, I saw that two giant stone eggs have cracks on them on this side, and the demons who were supposed to be sealed inside them are gone. Also, the power of the seals on three giant stone eggs weakened, and the godly blood chains disconnected at several places. Perhaps the demons in these three eggs will break out in a short time.”
“The situation on my side is similar. There are two stone eggs with cracks on them, and six are about to be corroded by the power of Hell and break,” Fei reported the numbers that he got.
After confirming the situation, both sensed a chill in their minds.
Now, it was confirmed that five out of the 72 demons of Hell had escaped.
This was a terrifying number. No one knew when they escaped, where they were hiding, and how much strength they had recovered. Thinking back, it seemed like one out of the five demons caused the terrifying Undead Creature Catastrophe that almost turned the entire Northern Region of Azeroth into a paradise for undead creatures. If these five demons of Hell gathered and coordinated, who could stop them since all the gods were rumored to be in a deep sleep?
Could Maradona, the most powerful human on the continent, stop them? Fei couldn’t be sure that this man was powerful enough to really kill gods and demons.
It seemed like tragedies were about to hit the continent, but no one noticed this urgent issue.
“Whatever; let’s not think about that yet. Let’s go and see if the seals that are about to break can be strengthened!”
After Fei and Hazel Bank chatted for a while, it seemed like there was no better way.
They started the research from the broken stone egg.
The two took off the stone-like surface of the giant egg and revealed the godly blood chains underneath. Most of the chains already broke, and the golden godly runes were too vague to see. Also, the godly laws and power started to disperse into the area, and most of the essence leaked out.
Most of the blood had solidified and turned into fist-sized spheres, looking like gems that were inlaid on the surface of the giant egg under the stone-like surface.
Just as Fei expected, the stone-like surface was created by the dust that accumulated around the eggs for a long time. All the giant eggs should look like the unimaginably giant egg in the center of this space; they should be bright and eye-catching. However, the other giant eggs were covered by stone now for some reason, but the emperor-like giant egg in the center was still clean and bright, emitting powerful life energy.
After they studied all five broken eggs, they only obtained limited information.
Fei was half an expert in godly runes, and he had some knowledge in secret techniques focused on sealing. However, he could only vaguely see some clues. After all, based on their initial assumption, a godly-king-level master placed these seals. It would be strange if Fei and Hazel Bank who weren’t that knowledgeable in this subject saw through them.
After not getting enough useful information, they didn’t dare to do anything, just in case that they worsened the situation.
The two wandered around in the sealed space and observed more, and then they decided to leave.
