#142 - Chapter 142: An elf goddess burst out of this soul cage?
【Elegy of Souls】Deep within the Abyss Trial dungeon.
A massive black box, the size of a small mountain, hovered in mid-air.
Strange patterns were engraved upon it, and amidst their intersections, a faint golden light flowed.
What was particularly striking was that countless thick chains intertwined and wrapped around the black box, binding it tightly!
It resembled a black iron prison, and one couldn't help but wonder what it held inside.
"Is this the Soul Cage?"
Wang Chu's gaze was fixed on the black box, his brows furrowed slightly.
Even with the 【Abyss Eye】, he couldn't discern any special properties of the box.
"Meredith, do you know what this thing is for?"
Wang Chu reached behind him, pulled the wedgie out of his butt crack, and casually asked.
Meredith huffed softly, a hint of displeasure in her voice.
However, she honestly replied, "This should be a tool Meredith set up to specifically collect divine power."
"Although I've forgotten the memories related to the Soul Goddess and the memories related to the Abyss Gods, I can still sense a familiar power from this black box."
"It's the flow of divine power."
Divine power? So that's it!
Wang Chu responded with an 'oh'.
It seemed that this 【Elegy of Souls】 dungeon was a stronghold used by the Soul Goddess to imprison souls.
She used the souls as exploited laborers, making them work like slaves to produce "soul power."
Then, the Soul Goddess could refine the "soul power" to convert it into her own divine power.
He just wondered how many similar Abyss dungeons there were.
Of course.
All of this was just Wang Chu's speculation.
However, even if there were some discrepancies, the general direction wouldn't change!
"Tsk tsk... what an unscrupulous capitalist."
Wang Chu chuckled, gripped his Fire Tipped Spear, and slowly stepped forward.
Tap, tap, tap...
The crisp sound of his footsteps echoed through the silent world.
What a goddamn world!
Even after death, they were still enslaved?
Soul Goddess, you have chosen your own demise!
Buzz!
The Fire Tipped Spear, originally held tightly in his hand and emitting a scorching aura, suddenly burst with intense light!
This light was like the first ray of dawn piercing through the clouds, dazzling and radiant, dispelling the darkness of this world!
【Elven Holy Sword】Elusa transformed into a long sword at that moment.
Wang Chu slightly raised his head, looking at the black box that had existed here for who knew how long, his eyes filled with coldness.
"So, you're the Soul Cage, huh?"
Wang Chu's aura suddenly changed, his originally restrained momentum erupted like a flood from a burst dam, and an extremely sharp sword intent permeated from his body!
The space even began to ripple with visible waves, as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake!
As Wang Chu slowly raised the 【Elven Holy Sword】in his hand, pointing it straight at the sky, the sword intent grew even stronger!
In the next second!
A massive vortex of pure sword intent appeared in the sky, rotating rapidly!
The 【Elegy of Souls】Abyss dungeon trembled under this terrifying sword intent, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Boom!
Instantly!
The world was enveloped in a golden light!
The long sword, seemingly carrying the weight of ten thousand jun, wrapped in the sword shadow vortex, slashed fiercely at the Soul Cage like a brilliant arc of light across the sky!
The black iron box-shaped Soul Cage was instantly split in two!
And Wang Chu, who had unleashed this sword strike, flicked his sword with a flourish.
The slender blade of the 【Elven Holy Sword】reflected Wang Chu's indifferent eyes.
"Let me..."
"Grant you liberation!"
......
【Ding, you have completed the main quest: Destroy the Soul Cage that imprisons souls.】
【Ding, you have successfully completed the fourth-order Abyss dungeon, your rank has been increased.】
The spirit rune sounded the completion notification of the fourth-order Abyss Trial dungeon.
"Finally, I can break through to the fourth order..." Wang Chu exhaled a long breath, a smile appearing on his face.
Actually, the word 'finally' was a bit of an exaggeration.
For him... it hadn't even been a week since his last breakthrough to the third order!
"Even if I grind 【Remnants of Bygone Dreams】every day, and then grind dozens of floors of 【Endless Netherworld】on Sundays..."
"It would take at least a month to go from the third order to the fourth order."
"But I... only took less than a week."
Wang Chu thought, the smile on his lips almost couldn't be contained.
To go from the third order to the fourth order in less than a week, this leveling speed!
How terrifying!
He could only thank the Storm Goddess.
She sent a whole family, neatly and completely, to deliver a package, directly fattening him up.
Hmm...
When the Storm Goddess hatches from the 【Egg】, he must thank her properly.
At this time, the 【Elegy of Souls】dungeon began to gradually collapse due to the destruction of the Soul Cage!
This was originally a world established by the Soul Goddess to imprison souls, and the Soul Cage was the core of this world.
Now that it had lost the core support of the Soul Cage, this world would naturally cease to exist.
Countless souls scattered in this collapsing world, as if they had finally broken free from their shackles and gained freedom, and they floated slowly towards the dim sky.
Just as Wang Chu's gaze was attracted by these scattered souls, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure faintly visible in the black box that had been split in two.
"Hmm?"
Wang Chu raised his eyebrows, a hint of doubt and surprise flashing in his eyes.
Was he mistaken?
In the next second!
【Nezha's】engine roared instantly!
The red figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star, quickly arriving at the ruins of the Soul Cage.
As he gradually approached, the appearance of the figure he had just glimpsed became clearer, a blurred soul body was leaning against the broken wreckage.
"It really is you..."
"Elven Goddess..."
Wang Chu said with a serious expression, in a deep voice.
Holy shit, the Soul Cage actually dropped an Elven Goddess??
