Chapter 2137: Imbalance of the Magic Array
After completing the previous tasks, Talide entered the Oblivion Abyss. The current location is just at the edge of the Oblivion Abyss, where there are many buildings before the appearance of the Well of Oblivion. She explored several dilapidated ruins and found that there were many traces left by alchemists in these places, but they were all some remaining traces. So far, she has only found such a notebook that records human alchemy.
The light in the dungeon is dim and weak, and the air is filled with a disgusting stench and the pungent smell of chemical reagents, as if every inch of space is shrouded in evil and fear.
Not far from Talide's position, a huge corpse covered with sickle scars can be seen lying. The body of this monster corpse is twisted and huge, as if it is a weird fusion of multiple biological characteristics. Its skin presents an unnatural dark red, covered with hideous scars and suture marks, obviously after countless cuts and reorganizations. Its dead eyes are empty and lifeless, seeming to reveal a deep pain and despair, but with a touch of relief.
The monster's limbs were unusually thick, with sharp claws on its fingers and toes, and sharp fangs in its mouth, which made people shudder. What was very strange was that even after becoming a corpse, the monster's body seemed to be constantly wriggling, as if some unknown power was boiling in its body, and it could burst out with amazing destructive power at any time.
Obviously, this monster was killed by Tyrid here. Tyrid was sure that this guy was dead, after all, she had received the Paradise prompt. Not every enemy could forge a death prompt that could fool Paradise. And the remaining power in the monster was probably related to the fusion of alchemy + dark magic power.
Tyrid didn't understand these, so she ignored them. Just comparing the description of the experiment in the front part of the notebook, it can be judged that the monster she killed was the owner of this notebook.
After it became the experimental product of those alchemists, it was eroded by the power of the dark magic, and gained the power of revenge, so it killed all the living people in the dungeon. Judging from the seal she broke when she entered the dungeon, this guy was probably sealed in the dungeon by the alchemist who escaped by chance.
Before this place was completely swallowed by the Oblivion Abyss, this monster probably still maintained human reason, knew how to record notes, and sewed the alchemist's alchemy notes to the back of this notebook. With the erosion of the dark magic power, it gradually changed from a monster appearance to a human inner self, and completely turned into a monster that only knew how to kill.
At this time, Lin Jiu and his party also entered the elemental land above the Oblivion Abyss. And because they entered here through the support point of the elemental balance array, they passed through the space channel and went straight to the edge of the elemental balance array.
As soon as they arrived at the edge, they felt that the mixed natural elements that were more chaotic than the edge of the elemental land were filled around the elemental balance array. Lin Jiu suspected that the erosion effect caused by the chaotic elements in the edge area of the elemental land, even if he had no immunity, he could rely on resistance for a while.
But the erosion caused by the chaotic elements around the elemental balance array would definitely not be borne without immunity, because the element density was too high. Unless Su Xiao, the destroyer of the law, is responsible.
The natural elements here are chaotic, but it does not affect Lin Jiu and others' ability to directly observe the current state of the element balance array in front of them.
The element balance array is a huge circular pattern, representing the fusion of this space and elements. The circular pattern is further divided into five small circles, corresponding to the five elements of wind, wood, water, fire, and earth. These five elements are intertwined in the array diagram to form a perfect balance system.
The small circles are connected by smooth lines. These lines seem to be the veins of the elements, connecting the five elements tightly to form an indivisible whole. On the lines, ancient runes are engraved, and these runes flash with a faint light.
The five elements began to surge in the array diagram. They collided and blended with each other, but maintained a wonderful balance. The green light represents freedom and gentleness, the wood light represents vitality and vigor, the water light represents gentleness and change, the fire light represents passion and strength, and the earth light represents stability and heaviness.
A powerful energy gushed out from the array diagram. This energy not only contains the characteristics of the five elements, but also transcends their limitations, forming a new and more powerful force. This force suppresses a large part of the dark magic power dissipated from the annihilation abyss.
Even if the element balance array is unbalanced, the effect is still very large. It can be said that if there is no element balance array, this world would have been completely eroded by the dark magic power and developed in another direction. What the other development process will be like, no one knows, but the final outcome is that it will be completely assimilated by the abyss energy, and then the world will be destroyed.
Lin Jiu looked at the element balance array, and it was not difficult to see why the natural elements in the element land were so chaotic. In the element balance array, the small circles that originally represented the five elements maintained a dynamic balance with each other. Now, the five elements still barely maintain balance, but the movement trajectory has become chaotic, so that the elements are intertwined, resulting in the imbalance of the elements.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of change will not occur. Obviously, something has done something. The best way to destroy the element balance array is to eliminate the "earth element" power. The earth element power is not very impressive, but it is indeed the most important core power to maintain the balance of several elements.
Even if the earth element power cannot be eliminated, eliminating any element power at random can cause great changes in the element balance array. Now only the dynamic balance is destroyed, which means that even the guy who tampered with it cannot eliminate the element power.
Adding a certain element power to break the balance effect is also a method. But adding and weakening the element power here requires the power of the element mark.
"Two experts, tell me your ideas on how to restore the dynamic balance effect of the array." Lin Jiu, because he followed Su Xiao to help, he also knew a lot of alchemy. He already had a general idea in his mind, but he could still consult Xi Lei and Talin's ideas. Both of them are the builders of the element balance array, maybe there is a better way.
Xierlei showed a helpless expression, spread her hands and said: "You can let me make potions, but I can't help you with the magic circle..."
Talin felt that the eyes were focused on him, and waved his hands and said: "It's my limit to be able to recall the support points of the magic circle. I really can't repair the magic circle."
"So this element balance magic circle was made by others back then? Then you are also participants, so you should know a little bit about it, right?" Lin Jiu questioned.
Xierlei shook her head and denied: "It was not made by anyone, but it was formed automatically after the power of the five elemental marks was gathered. At most, we participated in the process of the formation of the magic circle. I also came to the elemental land once, and when I found that I couldn't get in, I gave up directly. It was not only because I couldn't get in, but I knew that even if I entered the elemental land, I was the only elemental user, and I knew that there was a problem with the elemental balance magic circle, and I couldn't do anything,"
Lin Jiu: "..."
