However, Lin Li didn't wait for their response before taking action. He knew that with every second he wasted, the difficulty of getting through this obstacle would increase exponentially. Hence, before anyone could react, Lin Li had already used his Power of Flight and shot into the tunnel that had just been blasted open like a bolt of lightning. He headed straight for the pool where the Whispering God was.
Although Lin Li didn't have to worry about swimming in the water with his strength at the peak of the Legendary-realm, he wasn't a fish, and water wasn't air. His movements in the water would still be affected. Moreover, he didn't know how many tentacles the Whispering God had hidden in the pool. If he wasn't careful, he might not be able to solve the problem. Hence, Lin Li drank the azure potion called the Ocean Potion in advance. Its effect was to allow people to have the same mobility in the water as they did on land.
From the time he blasted open the tunnel to the edge of the pool, it took less than a second. Looking at the countless tentacles that were surging towards him, Lin Li didn't dare to delay any longer. He jumped into the pool. There were indeed many tentacles of the Whispering God in the pool. However, with the power of the Ocean Potion, Lin Li was more agile than a fish in the water. He dodged the attacking tentacles while diving towards the depths of the pool along with the Whispering God's body.
It sounded easy, but in fact, every second that Lin Li entered the pool was accompanied by great danger. He was like an animal that had fallen into a school of piranhas and could be torn into pieces at any time. However, Lin Li had no other choice now. Not only did he have to find a way to get through this, but he also had to be fast. He knew that without him, the people outside would be under great pressure.
Just as Lin Li thought, the pressure on Hoffman and the others in the expedition increased tremendously after he entered the pool. At that moment, they felt as though the end of the world was coming. Especially the teams from the various forces behind them, the number of casualties increased rapidly, forcing them to switch to full defense.
However, after losing Lin Li, the expedition's defense was like a bubble that could burst at any time in the face of the Whispering God's frenzied attacks. Everyone was in an extremely sorry state. Even though they had pushed their strength to the limit, or even exceeded it, the effect they could play was still negligible.
Facing the Whispering God's tentacles that filled the sky, the whispers that filled the incubation room, and the mana that was being drained from their bodies, everyone could only place their last hope on Lin Li. Deep down, they didn't think that Lin Li could really bring about a miracle. After all, it was too difficult for them.
Some even wondered if there was an escape route in the pool, and Felic had actually abandoned everyone and escaped alone. But looking at the countless tentacles, no one had the courage to try. Even if they were at their peak, they wouldn't have enough confidence to break through the blockade of those tentacles, let alone now that their strength was greatly reduced.
At this moment, Lin Li, who had dived into the pool, was actually extremely anxious. After he left, he naturally wouldn't care about what would happen to the other forces. However, there were still close to 100 Archmages from the Tower of Dusk up there. They were the foundation of the Tower of Dusk. If he couldn't get rid of the Whispering God in time, losing the mages would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Tower of Dusk even if he could escape in the end.
As Lin Li dived towards the bottom of the pool, he spread out his mental strength to search for any abnormalities in the pool. Just as he was about to step onto the bottom of the pool, his mental strength suddenly sent him a message. There seemed to be an abnormal mana wave in the other direction of the pool.
Lin Li immediately perked up. He waved the Helios' Scepter and cast magic to disperse the surrounding tentacles. Then, he shot towards the direction of the abnormality like an arrow. The closer he got to that direction, the happier Lin Li was. Just from the strength of the Whispering God's attacks, he could tell that there must be something very important to the Whispering God there.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Li broke through all the obstacles and finally arrived at the location where his mental strength sensed the abnormal mana wave. When he saw the source of the abnormality, Lin Li couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. There was a pillar-like device that seemed to be used for mana transmission. It was connected to the bottom of the pool, and above it was a card seat engraved with complicated mageweaths. In the center of the card seat was a black magical crystal the size of a fist. On the surface of the black magical crystal, there were countless crystal-clear threads that were as thick as spider webs, connecting the black magical crystal to the Whispering God's body.
Seeing this, Lin Li immediately understood that his previous guess was probably right. Prince Brahere had indeed used the Whispering God as the source of mana. However, knowing this was not enough. What Lin Li needed to urgently consider now was how to get rid of the Whispering God above.
If he didn't have to consider the Whispering God, what Lin Li wanted to do the most now was to directly cut off those threads and keep the black magical crystal that contained a huge amount of mana into his pocket. One had to know that the black magical crystal contained a huge amount of mana that could allow the Whispering God to advance from the Legendary-realm to the Sanctuary-realm. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a Sanctuary-level magical crystal.
However, the problem was that the reason why the Whispering God couldn't enter the Sanctuary-realm was very likely because of this black magical crystal. If he took this magical crystal away, although it wouldn't allow the Whispering God to advance to the Sanctuary-realm immediately, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal of eliminating it. Secondly, it was very likely that it would lose its restraints, and things would be even more difficult to deal with then.
However, if he didn't take the magical crystal away, how could he kill the Whispering God? Lin Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The Whispering God was a monster that only had instincts. It didn't have a brain or thoughts, and it couldn't be trained like other animals. Its instincts wouldn't allow it to selflessly spit out the mana that it had devoured. In other words, when Brahere was cultivating the Whispering God, he must have done something to it that forced it to instinctively change.
For any living creature, survival was the first instinct. Obviously, the restrictions that Brahere had placed on the Whispering God were very likely to threaten its survival, and thus forced it to change its instincts to strengthen itself. On the other hand, if he allowed the Whispering God to continue strengthening itself, would it be destroyed because of Brahere's restrictions?
To Lin Li, this might be an unprecedented gamble. If he made the right bet, he would get rid of the Whispering God. If he made the wrong bet, he might instantly create a Sanctuary-level Whispering God. However, based on the current situation, Lin Li didn't seem to have a better choice. Even if he didn't take this gamble, the outcome would still be destruction.
Looking at the black magical crystal that made people salivate, Lin Li shook his head helplessly. He raised the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, and at the same time, the mageweaths and magic arrays on his Space Robe shone brightly under the infusion of mana.
Outside the pool, although not much time had passed since Lin Li entered the pool, the expedition was really in a precarious situation. More and more mages and Warriors were controlled by the whispers. Hoffman and the other higher-ups of the four major forces couldn't even protect themselves under the attacks of the Whispering God. They couldn't afford to be distracted by their subordinates anymore.
At this moment, every second felt as long as a century to them. No one knew how long they could last. When Lin Li entered the pool, there was still a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts. However, looking at the pool that didn't move for a long time, this glimmer of hope became dimmer and dimmer as time passed.
However, at this moment, an incomparably terrifying wave of mana suddenly erupted from the pool. Then, everyone was horrified to discover that the strength of the monster that had made them feel hopeless kept increasing. In the blink of an eye, it had broken through the threshold of the Sanctuary-realm.
However, before they could react, and the fear in their hearts had just arisen, the monster that was already emitting Sanctuary-level mana suddenly expanded like a balloon. It covered the huge pool, and still showed no signs of stopping. Even each of its tentacles had turned into pillar-like objects.
Then, the murmurs and murmurs that filled the incubation room came to an abrupt end, replaced by a deafening boom. The entire incubation room shook violently as if it was on the verge of collapsing. The tremendous impact was like a gale sweeping away fallen leaves, flinging everyone even further away. Even Legendary powerhouses like Hoffman and Joseph couldn't stand under the impact, and could only use defensive magic to retreat.
After the roar of the explosion, the entire incubation room seemed to be covered in a thick green fog. It was so thick that they couldn't even see their surroundings clearly. What followed was a stench that made it hard for them to breathe. However, everyone was extremely happy because they could clearly feel that their mana was no longer being drained. Moreover, the surrounding environment was also filled with rich mana, allowing their mana to recover quickly.
Without a doubt, the unkillable monster had finally disappeared from this world. Under such a violent explosion, how was Felic, who had dived into the pool and was the closest to the center of the explosion!? Joseph felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart. Perhaps the problem of the Tower of Dusk would be completely solved this time.
On the other hand, Hoffman immediately became nervous. He continuously cast magic to dispel the thick fog in front of him so that he could confirm Lin Li's situation as soon as possible. Even if they put aside their friendship, the existence of Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk was very important to the development of the Glittergold Trade Union. Hoffman definitely didn't want to lose such an ally.
Finally, when the thick fog gradually thinned, Hoffman faintly saw a blurry figure standing in mid-air not far from the pool. He hurriedly sped up his casting speed, and tried to call out, "Master Felic, is that you? How are you? Are you alright!? "
At this moment, a dazzling white light rose from the figure's body, and continuously spread to the surroundings. Soon, it filled the entire incubation room. Under the illumination of the white light, the thick green fog in the incubation room quickly melted away like snow under the sun.
"President Felic!"
"Master Felic!"
"Master Felic!"
Basel, Norfeller, Ujfalusi, Hoffman, and the rest finally saw the figure clearly. They immediately rushed forward in surprise, and surrounded Lin Li. On one hand, they were surprised, and on the other hand, they were worried that something would happen to Lin Li. After all, Joseph from the Mithril Alliance was still there.
Lin Li glanced at his surroundings. Although the thick green fog had been purified by the Holy Light, the incubation room that was already abandoned became even more dilapidated after the explosion. With the pool as the center, everything around it seemed to have been flattened by the explosion. The components of the incubation room that everyone had their eyes on were obviously no longer usable.
Seeing that everyone was surrounding him with concern, Lin Li revealed a reassuring smile, and said, "Fortunately, I dodged in time. I'm fine. Since that monster has been dealt with, let's hurry up and treat the injured. I hope that there weren't too many losses when I wasn't around. "
Thinking back to the explosion, Lin Li secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he had the Space Robe that Nefa had given him, which allowed him to leave the bottom of the pool in time. Otherwise, even if he was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, he would probably be skinned if he didn't die from being so close to the explosion.
However, the people outside were not so lucky, especially those who had been controlled by the Whispering God's mana. Although they had regained their consciousness after the murmuring stopped, they were still unable to put up an effective defense when the explosion occurred. Even the mages of the Tower of Dusk could more or less provide some protection with their superb magical equipment after regaining their consciousness. However, many of them were still injured, not to mention the people from the other three forces.
Now that the Whispering God had been dealt with, the expedition's most urgent problem now was to save the injured. However, looking at the injured people, the higher-ups of the various forces couldn't help but feel bitter again. It even diluted the joy of escaping from a hopeless situation.
"Master Felic, it seems like we're going to be delayed here for quite some time. Your people are still fine, but we …" Hoffman shook his head with a frown. Clearly, the situation was not optimistic.
Due to the large amount of mana released by the Whispering God's explosion, the exhaustion of the mages' mana was no longer a problem. As long as they meditated for a period of time, they would quickly recover to their original state.
