Just from the personality shown by the Werebeast, one could roughly deduce what kind of personality their creator Old Deus had. Like the most fragile and easily shattered glass, the spirit of all Werebeast was a combination of inferiority and pride, clashing within each individual, fragile and easily wounded.
This personality was certainly related to the difficult survival they had to face after losing the protection of an Old Deus, but these factors were deeply buried within every Werebeast. Therefore, they preferred to vent on things weaker than themselves, and they also easily went to extremes.
To be honest, if it weren't for this desperate and stubborn personality ingrained in their bones, a special ability like "Blood-Break" that breaks through physical limits would have been difficult to manifest in the Werebeast.
Getting a little off topic, anyway, the personality of the Werebeast's creator was almost an amplified and strengthened version of a Werebeast. And because of this, just before He was about to be defeated and have His Divine Core destroyed to return to the higher dimension for peaceful rest, He unleashed His last resort in a posture that was more violent than the most violent, as if He wanted to drag the entire world down with Him, and He almost destroyed everything here.
Well, you can also understand it as a sore loser.
After all, for an Old Deus, having their Divine Core destroyed is far from death. However, the appearance of the Werebeast's creator made the being who defeated Him have no doubt that if it were possible, this guy would not hesitate to destroy the planet beneath their feet.
Not all Old Deus have the almost irresistible power of the God of War. The specialness of the God of War Artosh is precisely because of the concept that He represents, an almost invincible concept in this endless great war. If it were a world so peaceful that there was not a single dispute, Artosh might become the weakest god—does such a world really exist?
In any case, putting aside the crazy behavior of the Werebeast's creator, the self-destruction that He released, which catalyzed every ounce of power in His Divine Core at the end of His life, vowing to drag everything down with Him, did not actually destroy the entire planet as He wished, but the impact it caused was real. Even with the limitations imposed by the opponent who defeated Him, it still caused substantial damage to this world.
Or rather, because the power was limited to one area, the power in that area grew significantly instead?
This place was precisely the weak point of the planet that Su'er had been desperately looking for, or an important node where the ubiquitous Spirit Corridor manifested in the present world. Unlike the nodes that naturally existed since the beginning of time, this was a node that was forcibly created by the power released by that dead Old Deus.
Unlike the sea of spirit that was introduced after the death of the Phantasma Devil, this place still maintained a fragile membrane. And all Su'er wanted to do was to gently pierce that membrane.
Taking out the brilliance stone that could sense strong spirit reactions from his backpack, Lenny could clearly see that the closer they got to this building, the stronger the light and vibration from the brilliance stone would be. When they truly stepped into the underground part of this building, the pressure from the Elves that seemed to be squeezing their blood vessels further proved that they had found the right place.
Following the passage built by the Werebeast, Lenny group quickly arrived at the lowest level of the building—but this was still not enough.
Simply bursting out with great power was clearly not enough to truly make a part of the Spirit Corridor manifest in the present world. That was not a matter of the strength of the power, but a conceptual rule. Even the sea of spirit that appeared after Devil's death, which was the first time it had appeared in this world, was due to the unique nature of His power, a blurred conceptual boundary, which broke through the conceptual rule.
And because of this, after discussing it with the Old Deus of Doubt and Think, Su'er suddenly discovered that the broken core that Devil had left behind had become a crucial item. It still carried the unique power nature of that Phantasma, and it would not be wrong to say that it was a materialized concept.
No longer thinking about these messy pieces of information that Su'er had told him, Lenny solemnly took out a white object from the bottom of his backpack that was no longer fully visible. It was like a large part had been cut off from the top of a complete sphere, leaving only the bottom part, which was about one-ninth, shaped like a disc. It was not a solid structure. On the surface of the bottom, some patterns that looked like flowing water could still be seen, but they were cut off in mid-air at the upward-facing section. One could only rely on imagination to piece together its complete form.
It was the fragment of Devil's last legacy.
To be honest, if it weren't for that Phantasma kindly leaving behind such a useful help, Su'er and Think would have had a huge headache just trying to figure out how to reasonably introduce the sea of spirit at the various nodes throughout the continent and carry out the subsequent plans without arousing the vigilance and attention of other races.
"Is it enough to just put it here?" Unlike Lenny, this member of the team didn't know as much information from Su'er. He reached out and touched this fragment out of curiosity. It was cool to the touch. After entering the lowest level of the building, they no longer had to be as careful as they were outside, to the point where they couldn't even say a word.
Although he didn't know what this was, just looking at the importance of this thing could be seen from the fact that Su'er had sent out their team, which was composed of battle-hardened and experienced warriors, just to escort it to this place.
"Ah, this is enough," Lenny nodded and replied. "The rest of the things are not something we have the ability to handle. Let's evacuate first."
"Received. So, is it Schwi again this time?" Someone was casually asking as they quickly began to climb up behind Lenny.
"I think so? I'm not too sure. These things are all decided by Riku, but I think it's her for sure."
"That's true. Ex-Machina... I never thought we would have a time to get along with such a race and work together for the same goal. To be honest, I was really startled the first time I saw her."
"Who wasn't? That such a cute child who had stayed in the settlement for so long turned out to be an Ex-Machina... let alone you, even I was startled."
"Pfft, if you want to talk about being startled, you have to look at Miss Think, right?"
"Haha, that's true. Compared to Schwi, Miss Think is indeed a bit... difficult to get along with..."
"Well~, she's an Elf after all. Who would have thought that even an Elf would come to help us? I wonder how Su'er did it."
"Su'er, huh..."
The conversation that had become lively suddenly became suppressed at the mention of Su'er. But it wasn't because of aversion or dislike. It was more of an indescribable heaviness.
"Let's not talk about it. Let's go quickly."
"Hmm, let's go quickly."
Closing their mouths again, the group quickly evacuated.
