By the time the ruler regained its senses, its civilization was already in a sea of flames.
Screams and explosions continued to ring out. All of the residents were struggling in the flames.
The cause of all this started with a soldier who had escaped back to the city.
Not long ago, the ruler sent out an army to search for the disappearing rainbow. Because in the legends, the rainbow would appear anywhere, it was certain that it would be found.
However, the army disappeared after they set off. It was as if they had evaporated, and all contact was lost.
However, it was not a complete disappearance. After some time, one of the soldiers returned.
The soldier was in a state of extreme fear. It could not say anything, and its body was stained with a lot of colorful things, like … mud.
At first, the mud was not noticed. The mud was removed and cleaned along with the soldier's armor. The soldier was then placed in a safe place. The ruler intended to ask it about the details of the disappearance.
However, the soldier still could not say anything. Its mind seemed to be in an abnormal state.
With no other choice, the ruler decided to send out another army to investigate the disappearance. However, at this time, it … discovered something unusual.
The wish … had failed.
The ruler had once formed a large group of wish-givers and had them make a large number of wishes to maintain the peace and … development of the entire civilization.
After a long time, these wishes were fulfilled one by one in order to protect the safety of the wish-givers.
However, now, the wishes had suddenly failed.
There were many wishes that allowed them to have unfinished or unfinished technology. These technologies included new energy systems and weapons.
Throughout the civilization, many cities were using products obtained through wishes. These products suddenly disintegrated one after another.
They were suddenly broken into pieces. Some could not be activated, and some … such as the energy system directly exploded.
Moreover, all the technicians had lost … their memories. They had completely forgotten how these products were made … so there was no way to repair them.
There were also many things that appeared 'automatically' under the influence of wishes. They did not know how to make them in the first place.
In short, the civilization had completely lost the technology they obtained through wishes. They returned to the past in a very short period of time.
At the same time, the civilization was no longer peaceful.
The crime rate, which had almost disappeared completely, suddenly soared. Bandit groups of various sizes even appeared in the cities, and these groups began to attack everywhere. Coupled with the decline of technology, many cities lost their energy supply in an instant … This caused the entire civilization to fall into panic.
There was nothing the ruler could do about it.
It could only watch as the residents panicked and fought each other. In the end, the entire civilization fell into a sea of fire.
One after another, the citizens of the civilization fell to the soft ground in fear and collapse, allowing the ground to devour their bodies.
… Devour?
That's right. At the very last moment, the ruler saw … that the ground of the city was no longer the original color. Instead, it was a gorgeous … color.
It was like … the colorful light that was once used to make wishes. However, this color was no longer light. Instead, it was like soft mud that spread across the ground of the entire city.
It had devoured the wreckage of the entire civilization.
…
This was the legend of the Colored Wish.
There was a civilization that paid too much attention to and made use of Colored Wishes, and it was destroyed.
However, to other civilizations, this legend was just an interesting thing to talk about in their free time. No other civilization paid too much attention to this matter.
It was hard to say whether this civilization that was destroyed because of excessive wishes was real or not.
However, there were still some researchers who studied this incident. They confirmed that there was indeed such a creature. It was exactly as described in the legend. Not only was it colorful, but it could also fulfill the wishes of other creatures.
It hid in the solidified crevices and rarely showed its true appearance to the world.
It did not have a fixed form and was rather huge. Usually, it was colorful, a mixture of the colors of everything, but it was not gorgeous.
It would fulfill the wishes of creatures with wishes. However, the process was extremely slow and usually took a long time.
Some researchers who studied it came to this conclusion.
It was not fulfilling the wishes of creatures. It was just … learning.
… It …
Was right before Lin's eyes.
In the sky, countless colorful objects were flying. They looked like mud or liquid substances. Now, they had covered the sky of Pot Brain City like a swarm of insects.
This colorful … ooze came from the colorful waterfall outside the city. Now, the huge waterfall had become smaller and smaller. Perhaps this was because the hole that flowed out of it and connected to the solidified crevices had become smaller and smaller.
As the hole became smaller, the colorful waterfall became smaller and smaller. Now, it could no longer be called a waterfall. It could be called … a small stream.
However, it had flowed out a lot earlier. If one looked down, they would see that the colorful ooze had covered several kilometers of the desert area. It had completely dyed the sand and dust in color.
Apart from that, there were also many small mud splashes.
These mud splashes were bounced out from the colorful stream. Why did they bounce out was unknown. Many of them bounced into the city.
Like slimes, Lin discovered that the ooze would crawl on the ground … They would slowly gather and use this method to become bigger and bigger.
While looking at this situation, Lin also investigated the colorful objects. As a result, she found … the legend of the Colored Wish and the civilization that was destroyed because of the wish.
Various signs indicated that this was a very dangerous creature. Its temperament was unpredictable and its structure was difficult to understand.
Even the researchers knew little about it. However, they brought up an interesting topic. This colorful ooze creature did not seem to be helping other creatures fulfill their wishes.
It was only using those who made wishes … to learn.
… They all seem to be coming this way?
Lin suddenly realized that all the ooze that flew into the city was heading towards the location of Lin's Rock Spider and the brain spirit — the tallest building in the city.
