Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Tentacles that were wriggling out of the deep well waved at lightning speed, accurately rolling up living people and dragging them back into the huge and bottomless well.

The elderly Island Master knelt on the ground piously, turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to everything.

The cries, questions, curses, and screams around him had nothing to do with him.

Even if these people were once his most loyal subordinates, his most docile servants, and his best friends, so what?

Subordinates could be trained and recruited, servants could be trained and taught, friends… Ha.

As long as he had power, money, and strength, more friends would come.

He only heard the whistling wind in his ears and thought of the deep well.

When his ancestors came to this island, this magnificent underground palace had long been built. His ancestors only built another great castle on this mountain peak to protect the secrets of the mountain.

When he was young, his aged father had entrusted him with the secrets of this place, entrusted him with their greatest mission and meaning, entrusted him with the method to communicate with the Star Palace, and the response and gift from God made him ecstatic. He worked even harder to follow the guidance and offer tributes to please the rulers.

They didn’t want sacrifices of flesh and blood, pure girls, or money. They wanted something more illusory. They wanted to see the moral decline of the lower realm, to see everyone worship power, to see morality being despised, to see money dominate the soul, to see justice being defiled. They liked that.

This was very evil and terrifying. The so-called rulers of the Star Palace were definitely not decent gods. After discovering this matter, the young island master felt panic and unease.

But soon, this instinctive uneasiness was thrown to the back of his mind.

He took over his father’s business, used money to control the living, defiled holiness, provoked wars, and bullied the weak. He enjoyed all the fun without restraint, treating people like pigs and dogs. All kinds of indulgent hunting were filled with blasphemy and depravity. Countless people died because of him, but no just and kind god punished him, nor did he punish him according to the heroes of the good god’s oracle.

Nothing happened.

Evil goes unpunished.

Not only was there no punishment, but more and more people prostrated themselves at his feet, praising and worshipping him. The poor people who were exploited and bullied by him called him Lord and regarded him as the object of praise. Legendary stories about his kindness, generosity, and success through hard work and thrift were fabricated by shameless bards, and the lamentable untouchables believed them without a doubt.

He had more and more friends. Powerful and influential figures from the mainland fought to befriend him, to help him do things, to be friends with him. Those so-called wise monarchs, upright ministers, wise and knowledgeable mages, even turned a blind eye to the dark side of his bloody hands, pretending not to know.

Those big shots even looked the same as him.

Since that was the case, since evil would not be punished, why should they be afraid?

After he realized this, he became even more aggressive. Ironically, the more aggressive he became, the better his reputation became, the more friends he had, and the bigger his business became.

He was carrying out the decree of a completely evil god. He lured the evil side of the living beings with his depraved desires, causing wars everywhere, corrupting the hearts of the people, and allowing greed and evil to dominate the world. He worked so hard, and the results were so outstanding that he should have been spurned and attacked by the ‘forces of justice’. However, strangely, he was still glamorous and famous in the mortal world. The more bad things he did, the more respected he was.

It had already been forty to fifty years.

With such a rich and bright life that was ridiculous, weird, and ridiculous to the point of black humor, it was enough to imagine how twisted the Island Master’s mind and worldview were.

He could even sacrifice the entire island or even the entire sea area as flesh and blood without changing his expression.

It was only to please the god he worshipped and believed in.

There weren’t many things that could make him feel fear and reverence.

The laws and morals of the human world could not restrain such a monster. Other than the gods in the Star Palace, only the things in the deep well of the Star Worship Square would make him afraid.

His father had entrusted him with the secrets and mission of the Star Palace.

It also brought him to the deep well.

It was incomparably huge.

He had stood by the edge of the well thousands of times and looked down. It was so deep that he could not see the bottom. It was dark, and it made him feel an inexplicable fear. He had thrown dead people, living people, and even livestock into it countless times. The screams that came from it could echo for a long time until the terrifying, deep sounds of chewing and roaring echoed.

Every time, that terrifying roar would give him nightmares for the entire night.

He didn’t know where the well led to. He didn’t even dare to send people to investigate, whether it was going down the well or diving down from the surrounding sea. An inexplicable fear stopped him from doing so.

He knew what mission the Star Palace had given the ancestors.

Other than being a pushpin to pin down the communication between the East and West Continents, there was another mission, which was feeding.

Yes, it was not suppression, protection, or sealing.

Instead, he fed and comforted her regularly.

It allowed the unknown monster below to continue doing its thing.

And now, the emissary of the Star Palace had arrived in the mortal world.

It was coming out.

The countless tentacles that spurted out from the well rolled up living beings. The suckers on the tentacles could even tear apart half of the faces of the sacrifices, chewing them like mouthparts. No matter how noble or lowly they were, they were all food. Whether they fled or begged, whether they roared or cried, the outcome was the same.

“Eat, eat.”

” I can feel its satisfaction and desire,” the Star Palace Paragon whispered in satisfaction.” Sure enough, it’s more efficient to eat in person. It’s much faster than letting its descendants eat and send it back, right?”

Of course, the island owner said,”…” Yes.”

” Let it eat its fill, let it slowly recover, let its angry and violent will return to its body, and surpass its instinctive appetite. This terrifying predator will once again make the world tremble…”

The other party revealed a cruel smile.

” It once hunted an entire civilization, so hunting a newly born Fire Stealer should be a piece of cake.”

He looked up and spread his arms. Reviving the limbs that have not moved for a long time and awakening the spawns that have fallen asleep due to hunger. This sea area is only the prelude to destruction. The Star Palace’s layout has long been laid down.”

Although it was awakened twenty years earlier, and that infuriating and pathetic civilization had yet to be completely destroyed, the situation had changed now. Another Fire Stealer had appeared in this era, and the world was undergoing all sorts of unsettling changes. In that case, the Star Palace’s plan had to be carried out earlier.

At the right time, he would awaken this deep-sea beast that had once been of great use.

“Prey, reproduce, multiply, spread, and spread your children and grandchildren throughout the sea of the world…” He sneered.” It will completely stop the large amount of commercial activities and sea trade that have been maintained in the mortal world until now!”

This could interrupt civilization… Heartbeats.

The Paragon laughed.

As if sensing his mood, the tentacles that came out of the deep well and waved in the sky responded.

” With sufficient nutrition and flesh, more and larger adult spawns should appear from the deep sea…” He looked up with a cold smile.” The pressure from the outside is getting stronger. Kant can’t hold it in any longer. He’ll speed up and come to this castle. He’ll step into the trap we’ve prepared for him.”

“Mudblood, will your castle surprise him enough?” he asked, turning to the pious servant.

“That is the decision, Your Excellency.”

“Very good.”

Watching the tentacles hunt greedily and quickly once again, such an intoxicating scene, watching these lowly Mudbloods scream and die in extreme pain, was truly a wonderful pleasure.

He smiled and said,”Eat…” The Mudbloods in this sea should be enough for you to wake up, but before that, you’ll come in handy-prepare to welcome the Firethief, he’s coming.”

At the temporary camp on the large platform.

“All the hot air balloons of the Investigation Corps stationed in Distant Harbor are here.”

Kant stood in front of a few chief mages.” Now, you have a new mission. Persuade the mages who are still guarding the Broken Islands to surrender, recruit them, and organize them. Messi Zhu and Eric are former employees, so they will cooperate with you. You have to figure out how to use the Eye of Lucius as soon as possible and ride them to the various islands. The advance party will take the dragon and helicopter first…”

“Listen up, I want to know two things.”

” First, figure out the situation of the survivors on the islands as soon as possible, confirm the number and composition, and formulate the general outline and process for the next rescue plan.”

” Second, try to persuade the managers and higher-ups of the islands to bring them back first. My request is to find out valuable information from them by all means possible.”

” For example, precious talents, treasuries that store high-value resources, military goods, enchanted equipment, and even currency, as well as strategic magic device fortresses and ordinary fortifications.”

” Especially the last one. Focus on persuading the people who stay behind and control all kinds of magic devices to fight. Promise them that they have great autonomy. They can stay and fight, continue to use magic devices to resist and kill these monsters, or they can leave immediately. I guarantee their safety.”

Upon hearing this, the few chief mages understood what Kant meant.

They secretly rolled their eyes in their hearts.

After occupying the platform, Prince Kant poured out a lot of magic devices from the portal like beans. When he saw the emblem, he realized that they were all equipment of the royal elven army. It was needless to say where he had picked them up. In short, the two elven chiefs felt as if they had eaten sh * t. The mages of the Empire and the Arcane Magic Council were secretly amused.

Now, they probably wanted to use the same trick again and plunder.

After all, the bigger fist could do whatever it wanted. Now that the Broken Islands had attacked them first, they were already in a state of war. How to deal with the property of the defeated was the sacred privilege of the victor. Especially Uncle Kang’s unique spatial technique, it was simply born for robbery.

He could even plant a mage tower in a designated attack position. It would probably not be difficult for him to uproot a fortress-level magic device.

It seemed like the wealth, resources, and even talents that the Broken Islands had been managing for hundreds of years were all going to change owners.

The chief mages looked at each other and nodded in unison.

What else could he do if he didn’t agree? Could it be that he wanted to sabotage them in secret? What a joke.

Unknowingly, Kant’s performance today had slowly won over the rebellious navies of the various countries. He did not abandon any of his crew in such a dangerous situation. He led them across half of the sea, landed here, and fought all the way here to establish a solid defense. Any soldier would yearn to fight under such a leader. He was invincible and would do his best to protect everyone’s lives.

Anyway, the sea monsters were running amok in the outside world, and there were many tragic scenes. On the other hand, they were waiting for orders safely in the high walls and the river of flames. They were eating instant noodles and singing. The rumbling of cannons was the most reassuring accompaniment. After this battle, almost all the soldiers had planned to retire and join His Highness Kant’s army after they returned.

Even the Spell Casters were no exception.

The few Chief Mages had this thought before, but the elves still had some psychological barriers. They even had a thought that made them feel terrified.

If His Highness Kant and Her Majesty the Empress were to succeed, it would be the best of both worlds.

In short, since His Highness has given the order, then let’s do it.

“Alright, pay attention to your safety. Leave as soon as possible. The earlier you go, the earlier you return.”

The spellcasters bowed in unison, then turned around to gather their subordinates, ready to board the hot air balloon.

The advance party had set off long ago. Kant looked to the other side. Power armors with chilling lights were parked in a special area. The Warriors of Destruction were in the midst of repairing themselves. They removed their armors and Kant extracted the Paragon Elements left in their bodies to purify them.

This was very troublesome. He had to think of a better way to clean it up.

After all, the number of people in the battle group would definitely increase in the future.

Quillion stood at the side and watched eagerly. Kant had strictly forbidden anyone from approaching the Warrior of Destruction, so this noble elf brother could only watch anxiously.

Looking at the majestic armor and the small bodies of the Warriors of Destruction, the elf’s bell-like eyes revealed deep envy and jealousy. Just this? Just this?

“Alright, lads! It’s time for the mission!”

Kant clapped his hands.” Only by knowing the enemy and yourself can we win every battle. Right now, we still know nothing about the deep-sea monster. The only person who might know is the Island Lord of this place, the guy who lives in the super awesome castle at the highest point. I’ll be honest. His family is really cool. Look at this model. Tsk tsk.”

“Let’s go and see.”He shook his head.

The Warriors of Destruction responded with a roar, then opened their battle armor and logged back in. Under Quillon’s almost wide-eyed gaze, they completed the armor in a cool way.

“Move out!”

Other than the Warriors of Destruction, Quillon had also sent out a carefully selected attack team with Kant. Other than the necessary marines, there were also experienced spellcasters, forest rangers, and naturalists. They could provide things that Kant and his subordinates did not have.

Knowledge and experience.

identify traps, disable magic traps, confirm the structure of buildings, check secret tunnels, and so on.

They walked along the wide and flat slope. The surroundings were shockingly quiet, and they did not encounter any resistance or ambushes. Soon, they arrived at the top of the mountain. The viewing platform halfway up the mountain was shining with flames. Explosions were constantly set off everywhere on the island. The magic devices were constantly roaring and shining brightly.

On the island further away, there were dragons and helicopters flying, and hot air balloons taking off for sightseeing.

There was a disturbing undercurrent swirling in the ocean.

“All of you have seen it…”

” The outcome of our assault on the castle will determine whether we return triumphantly or flee in terror,” Kant said.” Everyone, keep your spirits up!”

“Yes, sir!”

They finally arrived at the gate of the Sea-suppressing Castle.

“Fire Stealer…They’re already here.”

In the Baixing Square, the enemy from the sky revealed a disgusted expression.” I sensed an aura that made us nauseous. How unpleasant. Hmph…” Every Fire Stealer is like this…”

“Is your shabby nest ready to welcome the guests?” he asked the Island Master.

“Yes.”

The Island Master respectfully said,” The Sea-suppressing Castle is a place of depravity and desire, but it is also a cave of death and blood. After retreating into the mountain, I released all the strange and vicious vicious poisonous beasts. Here, I can also control and order all the puppets and magic devices to attack.”

” The Sea-suppressing Castle has become one of the most dangerous areas in the world. Kant will have to pay the heaviest price if he wants to enter.”

The Star Palace Paragon nodded.” Very well, it is still hungry. Although its power cannot be fully restored, these hungry tentacles can still reach the surface through various secret passages and launch sneak attacks and massacres on the Fire Stealer and his pathetic followers. It is a strange place for him, and it is undoubtedly a wrong decision to set foot here. So, servant, let me see what you can do.”

“As you wish, my lord!”

” I’ll give you victory!” the Island Master said piously.

Kant and his subordinates looked at the towering gate outside the castle.

A weak voice suddenly sounded from the statue. You are Kant? People from Aurora…I… I’m the owner of this island. Now…

It revived…Something extremely dangerous is happening. Listen to me. I have something important to tell you. Quick… Come quickly…”

With a rumble, the door opened.

Kant glanced at Ulysses, who was beside him.

“.. I sense extreme unease and danger, Your Highness Kant.”

” It’s too quiet,” the magic consultant said softly.” There’s no one here. This is the strangest thing. Please be careful. It must be filled with danger…”

” That’s what I thought too,” Kant nodded.

This was obviously a trap. Even a three-year-old child could see that there was something wrong.

But it was also an open scheme.

Just as Kant had no choice but to come here, the enemy had also set up a trap here. This was because the key information to deal with the current situation might be hidden here. A battle was bound to happen here.

However, this strange and majestic castle must be filled with all kinds of dangerous and vicious mechanisms. The unfamiliar environment meant an absolute disadvantage, and an absolute disadvantage meant that there must be sacrifices.

This was the price of victory.

The mage consultant took a deep breath.” But just as you said, the harvest of conquering this place will determine the life and death of many people. We are willing to follow you with all our might, even if it means going deep into this dangerous place.”

“Thank you.”

Kant was silent for a moment.

“But I’ve changed my mind,” he said suddenly.

The soldiers who had mentally prepared themselves and were ready to risk their lives were all stunned.

Before she could come back to her senses, she saw Kant walking forward.

He waved as he walked.

“I’m going to visit a house. You guys step back and don’t move around.”

” What did you say, Your Highness Kant?” the advisor asked.

Kant did not reply. He flashed to the foot of the castle wall beside the castle gate and pressed his hand against the wall.

A moment later, with a loud bang, the Realm Gate opened horizontally.

Under everyone’s dumbfounded gaze, the outer city wall, which was connected to the city gate and the two towers, and even the foundation, vanished into thin air along with Kant!

The next moment, the Fire Stealer reappeared. Oh, he was now the Wall Stealer.

“It’s alright.”

Kant nodded.” This old thing’s home is pretty good. It’s mine now.”

P.S. 1: Why can’t I change it?
