The Black Tower was a pitch-black tower. This was the nickname that the Haletdam Society had given this Sky Tower. It probably meant that they hoped that it would be able to hide from the Gods and preserve the seeds of their civilization.
And now, it was the only city of the Revivors, and it was gradually being developed.
From a certain standpoint, the battle against the Haletdam Society's forbidden spell had done some good things. After the surrounding mountains were flattened, it would be convenient for the Revivors to construct a new city.
After clearing out the rubble, a line was drawn on the plains, and a row of wooden houses was built in the central area, a wall was erected, and a group of residents moved in. A new city had been constructed.
The first ten levels of the Black Tower had also been constructed and opened to the public. Several hundred of the Mist Alliance's greatest engineers were about to arrive. In this simple city, they would use this new knowledge as quickly as possible to improve the Mist Alliance's magical engineering technology.
There was technology, a market, and a labor force. Perhaps this place would become the Mist Alliance's new industrial technology base in just a few years.
As for whether or not the Mist Alliance would become even stronger because of this, it would only be a pleasant surprise for me since I was already half-retired.
That Dimensional Door that could connect to the lower planes had saved me a lot of trouble. At the very least, our upcoming adventure would be much smoother.
"Have you confirmed the number of people and the name list?"
"I've already sent out invitations. I don't know how many will come. After all, that place is far too dangerous … Even a True God can die there at any moment."
Since I was already intending to go to the Chaos Abyss, it wouldn't be a wise decision to go there for a vacation.
Considering my rather bad reputation and my past experience of hunting Demon Lords in groups, it was quite possible that I would be hunted down by Demon Lords the moment I entered the Chaos Abyss.
Although I had already prepared disguises and information, it was still possible that I would have to run for my life the moment I entered. Even if I was lucky and didn't meet any "old acquaintances" in the Chaos Abyss, nobody knew what they would meet in the next instant. Power was the only way to survive.
Perhaps Saint ranks would be quite amazing in the mortal plane, but they wouldn't even be worth mentioning in the Chaos Abyss, which was filled with demons. And so, I sent out some invitations and gathered some people.
"In the Chaos Abyss, the strong preys on the weak. Those who aren't strong enough are not only unnecessary, they'll even become a burden. The more experts, the better. "
"Then why did you reject Amelia and Renée? They should be strong enough."
"Forget it, Heloise. You still don't know why I rejected them? Of course it's because … "
While I was talking about serious matters, the silly cat suddenly transformed into her human form. She lowered her head shyly and started counting her fingers.
"Even if you've made your choice, even if I'm the only winner, don't say it so directly. I'll be embarrassed!"
"… Renée's a demonkin. She'll be in a lot of trouble if she goes in. Plus, she's the ruler of the Mist Kingdom. She won't be able to leave at all …"
I ignored Heloise, who was in acting mode. Ignoring her right now was the best choice. Recently, she had been getting crazier and crazier.
Amelia and Renée both wanted to come, but neither of them were suitable candidates.
"… Amelia was the mother and creator of the wood spirits. Corrupting her would be the equivalent of distorting the entire wood spirit species. If she enters the Chaos Abyss, the moment she's discovered, the Demon Prince or whatever will probably come personally. That wouldn't be a helper, but a problem. "
Although the Chaos Abyss had almost no restrictions on the upper limits of one's power, and it wasn't difficult for the True Gods to descend upon the Chaos Abyss, unless they wanted to commit suicide, the Order Gods wouldn't use their true bodies to enter the Chaos Abyss.
There was once a True God who was foolish enough to personally descend into the Chaos Abyss, and then … and then a series of events happened. That True God became a Chaos Evil God. The Chaos Abyss was just that evil.
Corruption and depravity weren't just descriptions of personality. Positive energy and negative energy were also purely different stats. Chaos was capable of distorting any ordinary creature's intelligence and physical body. In the Chaos Abyss, distortion and chaos were the most common dimensional laws. Even an Order God could be completely distorted.
"In the end, I'm the only one who can accompany you to the Chaos Abyss? A three-month honeymoon trip to the Chaos Abyss, along the River Styx to enjoy the scenery of Inferno and the demons outside the cage. You'll enjoy a passionate chase and escape. Your interests are truly strange. "
"Adam and Marguerite will be going as well. What are you thinking?"
"Two married couples traveling together?"
I was rendered speechless. As expected, it was spring. Were all animals in mating season? Was it even possible to speak like a human?
The silly cat pretended to be serious again under my hateful gaze. However, the ancient scroll she was opening in her hands attracted my attention.
This was a map of all the dimensions in the Chaos Abyss. There were countless markings on it. This was also her recent job.
The coordinates of the Chaos Abyss were the 77th level of the Chaos Abyss. Just like most other dimensions in the Chaos Abyss, this level was ruled by a powerful demon whose name I had never even heard of before. Perhaps his direct superior was Sophocles the Deceiver, but since we were the ones who controlled the dimensional door, it wouldn't be a problem for us to pass through.
"After all, nobody would expect that a barbarian from the mortal plane would voluntarily enter the Chaos Abyss."
…
Two travelers were traveling through the endless night. Astonishing gusts of wind uprooted the rocks on the roadside, but the wind was unable to move their gray cloaks, nor was it able to stop them from advancing.
"Ha, do you think that Roland is out of ideas for us to help him?"
Adam's fiery red hair and hearty laughter made him seem as cheerful as ever even though he was in dire straits. Ever since he received Roland's letter, he laughed at how Roland had admitted defeat and asked for help, while Adam immediately set off.
"… I'm actually quite interested in where we're going next. Are you sure that we don't need to ask for directions?"
"Ha, my intuition tells me that it's not too far away."
"Intuition? Not too far away? Heh heh. "
Marguerite chuckled coldly. Behind her, a group of seals and penguins were currently running on an iceberg. The two of them had already been walking on an iceberg for three days now.
Blizzards, hailstorms, polar storms, avalanches, and so on were all natural disasters for ordinary people. But for these two SemiGods, they were nothing more than interesting things to experience.
How did they get here? Halent didn't know either … Originally, the two of them had been aimlessly wandering around the continent. After receiving Roland's letter, Halent had only followed Roland as he excitedly charged through one mountain range after another, following the guidance of his intuition. In less than half a month, they had reached this place step by step.
No matter where Roland had originally agreed to meet up, it definitely wouldn't be here. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing here apart from icebergs, glaciers, and all sorts of frigid creatures.
"Tsk, it doesn't matter. Since he wrote to Adam instead of me, it's probably not that urgent. In that case, I'll just treat it as a vacation."
I looked at the compass in my hand. I was already as far north as I could go. I then used a sextant to measure my latitude and longitude, confirming that I was in the Northlands' Baizur Archipelago. This was the backbone of the world that was even further north than the Northlands.
Roland's sense of direction had already surpassed the so-called "going south to go north." This was the equivalent of going to the bottom of the ocean, but instead going into space.
Halent calculated his current location. Even though he knew that he was far off course, he suddenly became interested.
"… At this time of year, we should be able to see the aurora together. It'll be quite romantic for the two of us to look at the aurora together and count the stars together … Let's go a bit further north. Since we're already here, we can also do some experiments in extreme environments to gather data."
Halent's thoughts came to her, and she decided to go further north. It seemed that Roland and Roland would arrive later than Roland had expected.
It was likely that by the time Adam completely admitted that he needed someone to guide him, the only people by his side would be polar bears and penguins.
"Look, that big white guy over there. He's a local resident, isn't he? Heh heh, are they welcoming us with ice cubes? How welcoming. How about we stay over at their place tonight? "
"… Those are snowmen and ice trolls. They're quite skilled at throwing ice spears and ice cubes. They're already surrounding us? It seems that they intend to treat us as dinner. Alright, we'll stay over at their place tonight. Hopefully, there'll be a place for us to take a hot shower. "
Meanwhile, in the Underground's Dragon City, the letter that Roland sent over still hadn't reached its master yet. That was because the master of Dragon City was currently sleeping soundly.
As for when he would wake up, considering how inconceivable the Dragons' sleep cycle was, it would all depend on luck.
Meanwhile, another companion who hadn't been invited was excitedly rushing over. However, Roland decided that he didn't want to see her.
At any rate, although he had made the decision to gather his companions, those that he wanted to come didn't come, while those that he didn't want to see were waiting. Roland would have to wait a long time for these unreliable companions to gather together.
