What should the Gate of the Abyss look like?
A hole was opened out of thin air, and at the other end of the hole is another world? But when you look at it from the other side of the hole, or from the side, you can't see anything strange?
A huge portal like a city gate appeared, and the open wooden door connected to another world?
Or will a majestic passage appear, covered with red rocks like lava, smelling of sulfur, connecting to the world where demons live?
Before today, a hundred people would imagine a hundred ways of looking like the Gate of the Abyss, because in written records, the image of this gate is unclear.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that it's not that no one wants to record it in detail, but that the scene in front of me is too complicated and seemingly irregular, making it difficult to record.
First of all, there are no holes, passages or anything like that. The invasion of the abyss is more like the superposition of two worlds, with parts of each overlapping. Looking towards that place, sometimes it looks like a forest scene in the middle of nowhere, sometimes it turns into a scene in the abyss. More often than not, the two places are like a mirage, vaguely existing at the same time.
Stay outside the overlapping area and look from different directions, and sometimes what you see is the scene of another world. I won’t go into details about the iconic sight of the abyss. The most frightening thing is the army of demons gathered not far away.
So the so-called Gate of the Abyss is actually more like a disordered maze created by overlapping planes. Most people have no sense of direction after entering this space where the two worlds overlap. In fact, in a place like this, a sense of direction is meaningless. ──Maybe my next step is to appear from behind me.
If you are not so lucky, after taking a step, your lower body will be one step away, but your upper body will appear in another place. In fact, this situation will not cause any harm to the person. It is just a spatial confusion, but in terms of physical cognition, he is still a whole. The usual solution is to follow the original path and exit this chaotic space, and then the original state can be restored.
But is the spatial confusion fixed? Is it true that everyone can be so calm and able to remain calm and find the best solution when faced with this situation?
In fact, the chaotic situation of space is constantly changing before the overlapping part of the two planes is stabilized. At the same time, if people trapped in it move around in a panic, they may face more chaotic spaces and let their bodies run to more places.
The more complicated the situation, the slimmer the hope for recovery. It's like a person who doesn't know how to play a magic cube. He only knows how to stare at one side and one color to get the same color on one side. But I never thought that when I put together one color on one side, I would also mess up the remaining five sides.
If you walk out of this chaotic space before you are completely restored to your original state, it means that some part of your body will still remain in this space, which means that the space will be cut off when people hear it. No matter how strong the defense is, it cannot stop the rules of the world from saying: a certain part of this body does not exist.
If you want to avoid such a thing from happening, you have to rely on magicians who are proficient in space knowledge. In addition to marking the boundaries of the chaotic realm, their most important responsibility is to stabilize this disorderly changing situation. And look for the correct path from one world to another in this space maze.
After this period of hard work, the magicians on the devil's side not only drew the boundaries of space, but also accelerated the two worlds to devour each other. And as long as the two planes overlap deeply enough. The space will be less cluttered.
Just a while ago, lost little devils began to frequently travel to the Lost Land, and were brutally killed by everyone. It is undoubtedly an important message that war is about to begin.
And just yesterday, the airship was cruising abnormally, coupled with the sudden and strange combat readiness order. It was like calling the world that the high-level officials had learned through some channel or method that the demonic invasion was imminent.
All exercises that wasted energy were stopped. Everyone and all troops stick to their posts. Looking at another world, there are also demons gathering under that world with no end in sight.
Across the plane gap, the creatures in the two worlds are curious about the other world. But they all know that the moment the two sides come into contact, the war begins. It's just that it hasn't unfolded yet.
At the joint headquarters of the Great Sage's Tower, a young general proposed a strategy to invade the abyss first. In addition to controlling the war in the demon's territory, it is also possible to close the gate of the abyss as early as possible.
It seems like a very strong reason, but in fact, no one with decision-making power will agree with this stupid tactic. There are two reasons:
One, abandoned the position built like an iron hoop in front of them, and instead rushed into the army of demons waiting for work. No general with any common sense would make this choice.
Furthermore, when crossing different planes, it is inevitable that there will be a short period of discomfort due to the gap between dimensions. Some say this is a curse given by strange worlds when traveling to different worlds. In any case, such disadvantages are borne by those who pass through the plane gap. So should this person be borne by a 'human' or a 'demon'. The answer seems self-evident.
Instead, let the demons come over and take advantage of the geographical advantages of positional warfare to kill a few waves of demon vanguards first. Let the enemy be reduced a little when counterattacking the abyss later. This kind of thinking is the mainstream opinion.
In this way, a strange scene formed. The two armies of humans and demons faced each other across the gap in the plane, but neither of them stood still.
Not that no one tried to attack. But all methods are blocked by the space maze in the gap between the planes, and they are lost in the endless corridors. Whether it is magic, arrows, or even stones from a trebuchet, if they are thrown out, they will just disappear like a mud cow into the sea, quietly and without knowing where they are.
It can be expected that it will be an extremely bloody and tragic war. In the beginning, the two sides stared at each other, competing to see who had more patience.
Unfortunately, patience has never been among the devil's good qualities.
On the afternoon of the second day of the confrontation, there was obviously quite a commotion on the Devil's side. And there is a trend that is getting worse. Finally, an army of demons broke away from the large army and advanced towards the door alone.
This demon army is all tall and strong guys. You can imagine the elite level of this group of demons and their confidence in facing all enemies.
The steady pace and the rhythm of the drums made this army not seem to be composed of demons. But their dark brown skin color and the pair of horns on their heads all proved their identities.
As the demon army advanced step by step, the hearts of the humans also started beating, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. With such elites, as opponents in the first round, the magicians don't have much confidence. After all, the individual strength of demons is far higher than that of humans. And when the number is large enough, the quantitative changes caused are also not something that ordinary people can resist.
The moment when the goat-horned demons, armed with double-headed swords, wearing no hair, and the only armor on their bodies, the golden wristbands on their left and right hands, stepped into the gap in the plane. Everyone's hearts were raised.
The body shape changes from left to right, forward and back. It is so changeable that it is difficult to predict. Traveling in the gaps between planes is so unreasonable.
At the same time, a discordant voice spread among the human camp.
"There is no need for us to sacrifice our lives for the disaster caused by the greed and cruelty of the former tower owner. Especially the person who is responsible for all this is hiding in a safe area, but he wants us to stand on the front line against the invasion of demons. This is wrong. There is no righteousness in this war. Let those who are ignorant and unable to recognize the facts pay the price for the greed and sins of others. I will leave the battlefield to protect the homeland that I really should protect. , instead of helping those crooks to guard this broken tower!"
Directly north of the gap in the plane, the five-hundred-member magician coalition of the Cadiz District Branch of the Magician Association on the front line withdrew the line of defense they were supposed to hold on to under everyone's attention. Any friendly forces blocking their retreat route will be pushed back rudely.
But if those who are careful observe carefully, they will find that the arrogant and unreasonable people are also the ones leading the group. Most of the people behind were confused and blind followers. Without understanding the situation, they followed the leading officer and left. Because of this, the leader didn't dare to do anything, and killed people just to leave, thus losing all his rationality.
But this move has caused great commotion and discussion in the human camp. For no reason, just because the Cadiz District Chapter was the original first-line main force, and its defensive position was quite critical. Withdrawing now would be tantamount to exposing a large area of weakness and hinterland to the demonic army.
The withdrawal of the magician coalition also affected some unsteady little lords. Their hesitant movements disrupted the order of the northern defense line. Some people want to follow, and some people are eager to step forward to fill the gap. The result is chaos.
And how could the devil not know how to take advantage of this change? The demon lord who commanded this army chose to attack with his entire army without hesitation. The rumbling sound was like the roar of the earth, and the inhabitants of the abyss with no end in sight, with high morale, roared forward, and then advanced.
At the same time, through the external monitoring equipment of the Tower of the Great Sage, the people who witnessed all this included the presidents of the four regional branches of the Magician Association, the students of Chengguo Eton, and people under the old president’s system. , all of them are angry and unable to understand the behavior of the Cadiz District Chapter.
They all looked at the confused-looking president of the Cadiz District Chapter, Gray Otto. Judging from this person's gaffe, he must also be an uninformed person.
But there are many things that people who don’t know are not innocent. Now that the defensive front is torn apart, the north of the Abyss Gate is in chaos. It is difficult to clean up, and it is even more difficult to stop the devil. Encountering a demonic attack in this chaos will inevitably cost you more lives.
However, the horned demons are about to step out of the plane gap.
