Rod paid no heed to Asa's words; monster attacks on him weren't bad, as it saved time searching for monsters and reduced the odds of teammate casualties.
After all, he could resurrect, and it would be best if all the monsters of the Abyss came looking for him.
As for Amon, Rod had already decided that the first thing he'd do upon return was eat it.
Since Alan had a Fire Spark capable of shielding the Abyss, the Royal City beneath it was no longer a forbidden zone.
There was no longer any need to worry about the Abyss erupting and endangering the Royal City.
If it could be done this way, Amon would have done it already, so why take such a long detour?
"Master."
Asa said:
"The Ash Lake region should be a weak point of the Abyss, likely infiltrated and eroded for many years. Amon merely accelerated this trend. To a certain extent, this is actually a good thing. If the Abyss naturally eroded, it would be much more troublesome than now, possibly directly creating another entrance to the Material World."
Rod frowned and said, "Again? Are there other entrances besides the one beneath the Royal City?"
"Yes."
Asa gave a definite answer.
"The Abyss is the lowest point of position, and its main method of eroding the Material World is by creating more entrances connected to it, releasing more of the Abyss's power into the Material World, until it pulls the Material World to the same position and devours it."
Rod pondered and said, "If an entrance has already been opened, can it be closed?"
Asa shook his head: "Master, I fear this is very difficult; perhaps only the Divine can do it, but the Gods have long disappeared since the Chaos Epoch."
Rod laughed and said, "A true King, isn't that humanity's Divine?"
Asa was silent for a long time before speaking.
"If it is the Master, perhaps there is hope for the future."
"But we cannot wait until then."
Rod furrowed his brow: "Wasn't this Abyss Fragment on the outer layer caused by Amon's disturbance?"
Asa let out a muffled laugh.
"Master, I still stand by my judgment that the activity of the Abyss has already begun, and the terrifying end is coming. Humanity has no chance. Amon merely took advantage of this. The Ancient Evil Thought excels at using the ever-present destruction power to create calamities... Ah, I apologize, Master, for saying unpleasant things, but I am merely stating facts."
Rod still shook his head: "I don't believe it, even if a disaster befalls in the future, humanity and its strong ones will surely be able to resist."
Asa's Soul swelled, appearing somewhat pleased yet regretful.
"Master, I understand your feelings, but mere wishful thinking cannot save the world. With humanity's current power, even this Abyss Fragment cannot be destroyed... It's plummeting rapidly, soon it will fall into the Abyss, and a new Abyss entrance will appear, releasing more Black Fog, and the world's pollution will rise another level."
"Ah... Look, a powerful Abyss Demon is approaching."
"Oh, it's the Balrog Demon. It has three pairs of Demon Wings, twelve arms. This indicates it's fully matured within the Abyss, possessing immense pollution power, with a Spiritual Power Level as high as Fifteenth Level circulating in its enhanced skin. No one is stronger than it! In its home ground of the Abyss, all its abilities are enhanced!"
He exclaimed excitedly.
"Master, we're in trouble!"
Snap!
Rod directly crushed the "Star Mark."
An invisible mark fell upon the demon, branding itself into its Soul.
The demon saw Rod, and three pairs of Demon Wings flapped, flying swiftly towards them. A bright red light erupted from its forehead, amazingly opening another eye.
"Oh oh oh."
Asa let out a pig-like wail.
"The Demon's Eye, that's the Demon's Eye. This Balrog Demon has opened its Demon's Eye; it's on the path to ascension, having hunted countless peers and devoured endless darkness within the Abyss. The only pity is it can't devour excrement, such a shame, otherwise, it wouldn't have just one eye open."
Snap!
Rod crushed the "Spirit Realm Exile Curse Seal" once again.
An invisible force began to expel the Balrog Demon, trying to press it into the Spirit Realm from the Abyss Space.
"Master!"
Asa shouted excitedly.
"The Master is invincible, nothing can defeat the Master!"
But the next moment, the Balrog Demon's Demon's Eye erupted with terrifying red light.
A red ripple spread out, actually pushing the invisible force away.
Exile failed!
"Ah, this is bad!"
Asa's voice couldn't hide its schadenfreude.
"The Demon's Eye is too powerful, it's absorbed countless Abyss filths, providing the Balrog Demon with inconceivable transcendent power, but still, too bad, if it could have three Demon's Eyes, it would become a quasi-king of Abyss Demons!"
Rod's heart sank. He originally didn't intend to use the Red War God here, but now it seemed there was no other choice.
But just as he was preparing to bite his finger, Mephit's voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"Try again."
Rod was startled, turning his head to see Mephit shrouded in ice and snow, with powerful cold air sweeping forth, even pushing away the Abyss's darkness.
This was a level he had never seen before. The piercing cold light was almost tangible, freezing the space itself.
"Oh, it's the cursed child," Asa's tone was full of mocking amusement at the spectacle, "What a pity, she's too weak, with a Spiritual Power Level only at Twelfth Level, and the curse chains in her Soul aren't cut. Under absolute power suppression, nothing is useful."
