Abyss Sequence-Chapter 497 - 72: Digressions and Speculations

"This monster… it actually has no internal organs?"

Yulia didn't contact Sasa, though she wanted to seek Sasa's help, but unfortunately, Sasa's academic level wasn't as high as some of her old friends.

Therefore, Yulia contacted some old friends she had known decades ago to study the corpse of the monster she had captured.

After the dissection of the monster, the biological experts present were shocked.

Because the monster's body had no internal organs, no nervous system, and not even bones or muscles, just a layer of skin.

When they cut open that layer of skin, they found nothing inside. However, when they closed the skin, the monster's skin would automatically form a shape.

No matter whether they used objects to touch it, instruments to measure it, or even directly reached in with their hands to explore, they couldn't find anything.

This bizarre situation left Yulia, who was watching, stunned. She didn't expect this monster to be so peculiar.

Thinking about it, Yulia remembered that the Bota Star people had fought demons. Out of caution, she didn't leave the corpse there but took it away to ask the Bota Star people about it.

Two hours later, Yulia flew over an abandoned city straight to the hotel where the Bota Star people stayed.

When Yulia presented the corpse to Komore, Komore was startled.

"Where did you capture this invisible demon? Quickly, kill it!"

Yulia was moved, looked at the 'corpse' she held, and asked Komore: "This is a demon? And it's still alive?"

Komore nodded with certainty, "Yes, it's an invisible demon. It's in this state because it couldn't defeat you and deliberately pretended to be dead. In reality, demons don't have corpses. Once they die, their bodies disappear immediately."

It sounds somewhat similar to monsters before materialization. Is there any connection between the two?

Yulia immediately voiced her doubts.

Unfortunately, Komore didn't know either.

The Galaxy Interstellar Alliance classifies demons and evil gods as two different cosmic disasters, and the monsters derived from the Evil God Abyss should have no connection with demons.

Thus, Yulia asked Komore how to kill this invisible demon.

"Killing a demon is actually quite simple, only we lack the power to do so."

When speaking of this, Komore's gaze darkened briefly, quickly regaining composure, and explained to Yulia how to kill a demon.

"Demons also have vital points, generally hidden behind organs like eyes. To kill an invisible demon, you can use fire or directly destroy their vital points, but invisible demons rarely reveal their forms, and their skin is tougher than other demons. It's difficult to kill an invisible demon, whether by fire or directly destroying their vital points."

Under Komore's guidance, Yulia punched and destroyed the invisible demon's body.

After the invisible demon's death, its body dissipated into points of light, like a monster after death.

Upon seeing this, Yulia frowned slightly.

The transformation of a demon after death is quite similar to how monsters appear on Blue Star before materialization. It's hard not to suspect a connection between the two.

If that's the case, the demons aiding the evil gods of Alfheim can be explained.

There must be some profound connection between demons and evil gods, only neither the Elf Saints nor the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance has realized it.

Is it because they haven't experienced the situation where the magic environment couldn't meet the Abyss's materialization needs?

When the magic environment can't meet the Abyss's materialization needs, monsters leave materials upon death… wait a minute, the setting of monsters leaving materials after death seems quite off!

The powerful civilization that created the Evil God Abyss wouldn't have set such a scenario for the Abyss under insufficient magic environment because Blue Star's low magic concentration isn't naturally formed; it's artificially created.

No matter where in the universe, without artificial suppression, the magic concentration remains the same.

The powerful civilization that created the Evil God Abyss had no need to set a special mode for low magic concentration environments… meaning, the situation of materials generated after monster death isn't 'naturally' formed, but rather some force is secretly assisting the Blue Star people?

Yulia thought this matter was worth investigating a bit.

......

Currently, there aren't many people who can assist Yulia with that investigation, and Yan Luo is one of them.

After his battle with Roger, his power had reached the peak of the current environment, with no way to enhance his strength no matter how much he trained.

So recently, Yan Luo hasn't been engaging in Abyss hunting but has been continuously producing Saint's Blood and scrutinizing hunters suitable for granting the Evil God's Mark.

Though he previously decided to promote magnetic field powers, that was under the impression that an evil god was not about to be born.

Because he didn't know an evil god was to be born, Yan Luo thought he had plenty of time to transform Blue Star's current transcendent power system, hence not continuing with the distribution of Saint's Blood and the Evil God's Mark.

But now, knowing the evil god is about to be born, if Blue Star can survive this challenge, even continued use of magic power wouldn't be an issue.

If not, rushing to change the transcendent power system now would just be a last-minute effort with no real effect.

Therefore, Yan Luo continues to bleed himself and starts accelerating the path for other hunters to become stronger.

In simple terms, Yan Luo is pretty idle now, with not much to do.

Having learned from Yulia that 'materials dropping after abyss monster deaths' might not be a natural occurrence, Yan Luo agreed to investigate it for Yulia.

The notion of monsters dropping items upon death feels like a game setting, appearing quite out of place in reality.

And the Evil God's Mark Frenzy seems to have a similar element… hmm?

Yan Luo was planning to discuss this with Sasa when he suddenly realized.

'Material drops from monster deaths' resemble the Evil God's Mark, don't they?

The Evil God's Mark Frenzy functions as a leveling system earning EXP by killing monsters in a game, and obtaining materials from killing monsters also seems like the effect of some Evil God's Mark.

Does this mean that the situation of 'materials dropping from monster deaths' is actually caused by an Evil God's Mark?

This thought lingered in Yan Luo's mind and would not go away.

The more he pondered, the more Yan Luo felt that this was likely an effect of an Evil God's Mark.

But 'materials dropping from monster deaths' is a universally known phenomenon in all abysses on Blue Star, a common knowledge even among five-year-olds, who know killing monsters results in materials.

If this is an effect of an Evil God's Mark, why does this happen?

The ancient Blue Star civilization was so powerful, they must have encountered an Evil God's Mark.

If 'materials dropping from monster deaths' is caused by an Evil God's Mark, then their ancestors must have done something to remove the Evil God's Mark, embedding it in the Blue Star people's bloodline, or perhaps into Blue Star itself. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Yan Luo believes the latter is more likely because Blue Star people didn't obtain materials when hunting monsters in Alfheim.

However, when monsters come to Blue Star, they don't drop materials… is it due to the magic environment?

With that thought, Yan Luo immediately took action, seeking out Sasa and Wu Zechuan to share his hypothesis.

Yan Luo plans to conduct an experiment next, which requires a high-concentration magic power environment — at least reaching the level of the Abyss.

And the only ones who can help him complete this experiment in No.2 Crimson are Sasa and Wu Zechuan.

Sasa and Wu Zechuan were intrigued by Yan Luo's speculation, immediately making arrangements for the test site as Yan Luo set off to capture monsters from the Crimson Abyss.

If Yan Luo's speculation is correct, could it indicate that their ancestors might have left them some methods to deal with the evil gods?
