Chapter 554: 554
The Black Tower was another name that the scholars' generation had given to this eighth hidden Sky Tower . The meaning behind this was that they wanted this tower to remain well concealed in the darkness, even from the gods, so that the Haletdam generation's culture could be preserved .
And now, the Sky Tower became the only city of the Revived . This city was currently under development .
From a certain standpoint, my Holy Light explosion from a while back had actually been a good deed . Since the mountain ranges in this area had been completely flattened, that made it much easier for the Revived to build their city and expand out of the tower .
After clearing out all the rubble, a line was drawn on the plains to mark the construction area . Wooden houses were gradually erected, followed by some walls, and then some people were brought here from the Mist Alliance to immigrate into the Revived's new city, creating the foundation for this new city .
The first ten underground levels of the Black Tower were also opened up . Several hundred of the best engineers in the Mist Alliance would soon be arriving . In this new and basic city, they would learn all of the knowledge here as quickly as possible in order to improve the Mist Alliance's magical engineering technology .
Technology, market, and labor were all present here . Perhaps this city would become one of the Mist Alliance's leading cities for technological innovation in just a short few years .
Since I was already half retired from my Mist Alliance leadership duties, being able to help the Mist Alliance like this was actually an unexpected surprise .
That Dimensional Door in the Black Tower, which was connected to the lower planes, would also save me a lot of trouble . At the very least, it would be a great help in the next adventure that we were about to start .
"Has the full list of who's going been determined yet?"
"I've already sent out all the invitations to everyone . I don't know how many of them will be arriving, since the Chaos Abyss is far too dangerous… Even True Gods might find themselves dying at any time down there . "
Since we were intending on heading down into the Chaos Abyss, casually going there for a vacation wouldn't be wise at all .
Considering my poor reputation, and how I was known for going down into the lower planes to slay Demon Lords in the past, if news about this leaked, it was quite possible that Demon Lords would ally with each other and wait to ambush me the moment I arrived .
Although I had already prepared misinformation for information control, it was still possible that we would all be forced to run for our lives the moment that we arrived . And even if we were lucky enough not to meet any "old acquaintances," the Chaos Abyss was an abnormal place where nobody would know what might happen in the next instant . Only by having a sufficient amount of strength would you be able to guarantee your safety down there .
Perhaps Saint ranks would be considered amazing in the mortal plane, but Saint ranks would be absolutely useless in the Chaos Abyss with countless demons . That was why I sent out some invitations, hoping to summon some of my companions to my side for my planned trip to the Chaos Abyss .
"There's only one law in the Chaos Abyss: the strong prey on the weak . Not only are those who aren't strong enough unnecessary to bring along, they'll even become a burden . As for the powerful, the more, the better . "
"Then why did you reject having Amelia and Reyne come along? Both of them should be more than powerful enough . "
"That's enough, Harloys . Of course you know why I rejected them . That's because…"
While I was being all serious, the silly cat suddenly transformed into her Gold Elf form and started twiddling her fingers shyly with her head lowered .
"Even if you chose me in the end, and even if I am the only victor, don't say things so directly! You'll make me embarrassed!"
"…Reyne has demon blood in her, so that will be all sorts of trouble down there . And, she's the Queen of the Mist Kingdom, so she can't leave…"
I decided to completely ignore Harloys who was having fun with her own performance . Ignoring her would be the best choice as recently she had been crazier and crazier .
Amelia and Reyne had both wanted to come with me, but neither of them were good choices for joining my party .
"…As for Amelia, she's the creator and Mother Goddess to all the wood spirits . If Amelia becomes corrupted, that will be the equivalent of corrupting the entire wood spirit species . If she goes down into the Chaos Abyss and is discovered, it's likely that even Demon Princes and above will personally come visit . In that case, she'll become more trouble than help . "
Although the Chaos Abyss had basically no limits on power level, to the point where it would actually be quite easy for any True God to personally descend there, no Order God would ever send their true body down to the Chaos Abyss unless they were suicidal .
In the past, an Order True God had previously been foolish enough to personally descend to the Chaos Abyss in his true body rather than in an incarnation . What happened after that was… well, various things . He then became a Chaos Evil God in the end . The Chaos Abyss was just such a twisted place .
Corruption or becoming fallen wasn't only about twisting the personality . There were fundamental differences between positive and negative energy . Chaos was capable of distorting any normal life form's intelligence and physical body . In the Chaos Abyss, distortion and chaos were the only most common dimensional laws . Even an Order God could become completely corrupted down there .
"So in the end, I'm the only one who can accompany you down to the Chaos Abyss? So this is like our newlywed honeymoon vacation? Touring the River Styx while enjoying the local inferno scenery and being welcomed by demons, enjoying the excitement of battling and running away? You truly do have such strange tastes . "
"Stop exaggerating . Aren't Adam and Margaret coming along with us?"
