The 'demons' had been taken away from Midgard by the Prophet. They had thought that there was nothing left, which was why the Prophet left them and let them live there.
In the meantime, some other species had visited the demons, and those were … the altered ones.
They were called that most of the time, mainly because they had modified the Mirror World.
Compared to the 'Void Colossus' of Midgard, there were far fewer legends about the altered ones — or rather, there were no legends about them at all.
These creatures were not famous, but they did not want to be.
However, their actions were still known by some other creatures … To put it simply, the Altered Ones were a group of travelers who were determined to go on a journey.
Their thoughts and mission were all focused on the goal of traveling to the farthest reaches of the Void, and they had been working hard to achieve that.
They had created huge world aircrafts, searched for suitable species, and now found the demons.
Demons … or to be precise, the creatures from Midgard's pipes had a special characteristic, and it was that they all had some 'connection ability'.
They were believed to be able to connect to the 'frozen Void' by chance, and that fact would occasionally be shown. The most obvious manifestation was that there would be things from the frozen Void appearing around the demons.
It looked like … something like a plant, or something like a fungus, or something like … powder.
Of course, the demons themselves were not sure. They simply did not know which things came from the frozen Void, and which were natural products of this world.
The reason the altered ones had found the demons was simple: they were using their ability to connect to the frozen Void, but … how exactly were they using it?
That was not clear, and could be understood in more detail by catching them.
The altered ones had not been in contact with the demons for long at first, and they left quickly without affecting the demons much. However, the event that affected the demons the most had arrived.
A huge Tumbler had appeared in the skies, and the world known as the Meltdown Zone … was still gray-black at the moment.
It was mainly because its surface temperature had been dropping, and most of the hot substances had solidified in the cold, showing a dull color.
Only a few species had hidden deep underground, where it was still hot … and sought life there.
However, the most important thing was the problem of the meltdown zone itself. It had always noticed that its consciousness was disappearing. As the world turned colder, its thoughts slowly sank into darkness.
At this moment, in the demon world, they watched in horror as this world got closer and closer to them, so they thought of many ways, such as escaping or … blowing it out of orbit.
At that time, the demons thought it was impossible. How could they blow up a world with a diameter of thousands of kilometers? But escaping was even more impossible.
Because there was nowhere to run.
Therefore, the demons decided to … gamble. They would first try to bombard with all their might, and if it didn't work, they would escape with all their might. At least … at that time, there would be enough time for all of this.
They began to move. Countless missiles flew up and exploded on the melted area. However, this did not cause any damage to it. Instead, it made it … more awake.
It discovered that in these exploding missiles, there was … fire dust. At this time, it also noticed the world in front of it. The creatures living in that world were the creatures that had once lived in the Midgarter Pipeline.
Thus, the melted area retreated. However, it had no intention of crashing into it. Instead, it flew to the side and circled around it.
But now, it decided to observe this world carefully.
The demons thought that their plan had succeeded. Although the other side did not deviate from orbit, it retreated. Although they did not know the principle, it was definitely caused by their missiles.
However, their happiness only lasted for a moment. Soon, the melted area approached again, forcing them to launch missiles again.
They did not know that the melted area was … observing them.
During the process of observation and research, the melted area came to a conclusion. That was, 'fire dust' was not in the demon world. The timing of its production was very special.
It would only be produced when the missiles they fired exploded.
The melted area also knew the legend of the frozen void. It believed that the missiles created by these demons would connect to the frozen void at the moment of explosion, thus producing this substance.
At least, that was what it thought … because it did not find the possibility of producing fire dust from any other way.
The demons did not know that they were providing … 'energy' to the other side.
Next, this … tug of war began. The bombardment continued, and the demons kept strengthening their various missiles. In the end, the power of the missiles they created became greater and greater.
Unfortunately, the melted area was not an ordinary tumbler. The power of the missiles was not the main point. The main point was what was produced …
The meltdown zone reestablished its surface ecology, and everything became as prosperous as before. All that was left was for it to continue approaching and retreating.
The demons kept bombarding, but they did not know what was going on.
It was not until the demons' technology developed enough that they sent troops that could enter the melted area for research that they realized that they created this ecology.
Then, they began to think of various solutions.
But … this continued for a very long time.
During this time, they thought of various methods, such as creating a frozen ecological environment … This kind of low-temperature ecology did attract the attention of the melted area, but it only noticed it for a while and did not care too much.
It only thought that it was okay to maintain a few of these ecosystems in the world, but it was not willing to turn the entire world into a low-temperature ecology.
Therefore, the demons' plan did not work.
In order to stop it from approaching, the demons continued to bombard it. Slowly, the melted area discovered something.
That was, the fire dust produced by the explosions had become less and less.
Although the explosions were getting stronger and stronger, the fire dust was getting less and less. What was going on?
The melted area came to a conclusion. Perhaps the demons had been too far away from the pipeline for too long, and the connection between them … had become weak. After many generations of reproduction, perhaps the demons could no longer connect to the frozen space, so … the melted area decided something.
It allowed the demons to restore their connection.
However, at this moment, something else was discovered in the meltdown zone …
