Xi Wei was neither all-powerful nor omniscient regardless of being a god. He couldn’t control border wastelands, not to mention bear in mind {that a} large was heading in the direction of the Elven Synchronized Mind Nation (SIN) from twelve thousand kilometers away.

That was why he was merely happy that the Gamers secured the important thing to enter the fourth stratum… and due to this fact didn’t hesitate to whisk it away and replicate it with a counterfeit for Edward along with his divine energy. …The heck you wanting but? By no means seen a god exploiting his followers?

That being mentioned, Xi Wei’s motion was a kind of safety in the direction of Edward’s group from a sure perspective.

In any case, the important thing itself was tailor-made to every excessive elf, one of many best supernatural races there have been. Even first-rate Gamers like Edward’s group would have an amazing hole in energy in comparison with them, and one thing unhealthy might occur in the event that they used the important thing recklessly.

Because the race who might make the most of Thriller-a energy related to divine energy, it was onerous to ensure that such an merchandise wouldn’t have an effect on the consumer’s soul.

And to Xi Wei, it was high-quality if his believer’s physique was straight destroyed. However, not even he might assist them if their soul was distorted or immediately crushed.

“Nonetheless, excessive elf know-how is admittedly unbelievable…”

After getting the move and seizing the chance to take management of Darkish Sky Stratum, Xi Wei understood the place considerably although it had been inscrutable earlier than.

At first, he had assumed that Darkish Sky was a sealed area that separates Deep Wall and Metal Earth. However as soon as he took management of the third stratum, he realized that it was a spatial fragment separated from the world—there was no escape regardless of how one wandered if anybody inside couldn’t discover the important thing!

It was very probably that this spatial fragment belonged to a shadow airplane, with the excessive elves processing it into a mirrored image of the Elven SIN. It thereby acts as a canopy, protecting each commentary methodology ‘contained in the world’ from seeing by means of the internal strata of the Elven SIN.

“Usually, virtually all commentary would fail to look contained in the Elven SIN, and even the God Eye of divine beings might solely see issues within the mortal realm, with their followers appearing as beacons. In any other case, they might have to spend so much of divine energy to look at from worlds past or be blocked by Darkish Sky…”

Xi Wei couldn’t assist gasping in awe. “With such class of expertise that surpasses human intelligence and know-how of processing planes, the excessive elves’ magitek ranges would most likely not lose out to the gnomes who invented god-killing ships…”

And there was no telling if it was that expertise that led to the extinction of excessive elves, or if that they had sensed the gods’ malice, and solely then spend their expertise in constructing the SIN in a battle to the demise towards the divine.

For the reason that God of Video games of that age had just lately died on the time whereas Xi Wei (and his predecessor) have been but to be born, he merely didn’t know what occurred between the excessive elves and the gods of that period.

Both approach, they grew to become despondent just like the punished gnomes, shedding their coronary heart to stride in the direction of the longer term.

In contrast to their god who was nonetheless left in marvel on the spectacular idea of Darkish Sky, Edward’s group didn’t relaxation an excessive amount of after clearing that stratum. As soon as they completed replenishing consumables, they made a circle round Princess Leah and watched as she activated the Metal Earth Key.

Right away, pale-blue radiance burst forth from the tip of the important thing. Everybody within the social gathering might then really feel invisible threads pulling their unresistant our bodies into the sunshine, drawing them into the stomach of the tortoise colossus.

However not like earlier than, what appeared earlier than them was not the Faint Crystal stratum which was filled with crystal clusters, however a large metallic metropolis that was nonetheless working!

If Xi Wei have been the decide, he would say that the town was brimming with steampunk. Whereas there was no ever-present steam, the different-sized metallic pipes, towering chimneys, outdated however still-moving gears and bearings in addition to spherical buildings that have been most likely furnaces have been all there. There was no telling what the automated machines have been producing, simply as every part was the colour of metals far as the attention might see-it was all distinctly steampunk.

And if one have been to place their finger on what felt out place, it could be the shortage of any individual strolling within the streets. There have been as a substitute a number of small automatons the dimensions of an Akita canine, every resembling silver teapots with lengthy legs that walked round to scrub the place, which was not steampunk however cyberpunk as a substitute.

As Edward’s group walked alongside the streets, they have been left totally confused by the present scenario.

There have been no monsters all of the sudden leaping out, enemies standing of their approach and even traps of whatnot…

Whereas it felt secure right here, how have been they speculated to clear this space?

“Properly, it’s metal… I can’t discover a single regular rock on this flooring, and there are artifical metallic buildings in every single place. It seems bustling and the homes are clanging from the within, however there’s simply nobody round.”Gou Dan scratched his head. Although he was not a coward, the bizarre air round does go away him flustered.

“There are too many diverging paths and so they appear to be they might attain totally different instructions. It’s principally unimaginable to seek out targets round right here.” Princess Leah determined. “Let’s cut up up from right here and take a look at searching for clues to clear the ground. Collect right here round two hours later, and keep in mind to remark within the boards when you can’t.”

“‘”Alright!””

It was true that each Earthlings and folks from different worlds fairly benefit from the time period ‘freedom’.

As Princess Leah known as for a disbandment, everybody together with the typically-composed Edward excitedly scouted round. There have been many buildings beside the streets, most of which had their doorways opened and seemed like being a store.

When everybody had a tough go searching simply now, he didn’t level out something although there had been parts he discovered fascinating.

Nonetheless, the Gamers nonetheless have their primary security information and wouldn’t stray too removed from different social gathering members. They stayed on the identical avenue and at a distance the place they may hear if one in every of them have been yelling out, in order that they may assist one another when somebody wants assist.

And after half a day of separate scouting, the Gamers led by Edward discovered one thing fascinating simply as anticipated…
