Void Tower, Underground Hall.
The wings of the statue spread out slowly, but as the wings spread out, a vast and boundless aura gradually spread out from the statue.
Iyadese was about to step forward and stop Bobota's actions, but he paused.
This kind of boundless aura could only appear on the top existences of the Abyss. Iyadese did not expect it to appear anywhere else!
When the wings of the statue were fully extended, Iyadese suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, as well as a sense of inferiority from being looked down upon by a superior creature.
He saw it! The statue's true appearance!
It was a tailed demon with wide black wings. Its body was very small, so its appearance could not be seen at all when the wings wrapped around it.
There was nothing special about the demon's appearance, but there were two distinctive features on its body that allowed Iyadese to recognize it at a glance.
Firstly, the demon's tail was very long. It was like a hook that hooked a pile of exquisite books.
Second, the demon's eyes were cold but full of wisdom. The gaze seemed to come from ancient times, without any ripples, but it made people feel ashamed of their inferiority.
Just by staring at the statue, it felt like blasphemy. In the Abyss, there were only Demon Gods!
And there was only one Demon God with such an appearance in all the Phase Planes of the Abyss. To describe it in human terms —
"Even if you don't agree with it, you can't help but admire its wisdom and knowledge — the Scholar of Cruelty!"
It was indeed possible for the statue of the Scholar of Cruelty to appear in the underground hall. This was because the Abyssal Runes were created by the Scholar of Cruelty, and all the runes on the Void Tower were drawn by the Scholar of Cruelty.
It was normal for there to be traces of the Scholar of Cruelty here. However, what surprised Iyadese was that the Scholar of Cruelty actually projected a wisp of his consciousness into the statue!
Despite the surprise, Iyadese breathed a sigh of relief. With the Scholar of Cruelty watching, it did not believe that the uninvited guest who illegally broke into the Void Tower would dare to continue pressing the statue.
But when Iyadese raised his head and looked in the direction of the 'uninvited guest', his pupils shrank.
Earlier, when the Scholar of Cruelty spread his wings, Bobota's movement paused for a moment. However, when the Scholar of Cruelty retracted his aura and revealed his true form, Bobota did not stop as Iyadese expected. Instead, he continued to press his hand down.
His speed was even slower than before, but the stubbornness in his expression was even deeper.
"I know what your goal is." "You don't have to completely destroy Rasudran to achieve what you want," the Cruel Scholar muttered softly.
Bobota didn't seem to hear the Cruel Scholar's voice at all.
The Scholar of Cruelty sighed, and a strange ripple spread out from the statue.
When the ripple passed through Iyadese's body, it felt its mind become very clear. Even the speed of its thoughts seemed to have increased.
As for Bobota, the main target of the ripple, the craziness in his eyes was gone, replaced by sobriety.
After regaining his senses, Bobota finally looked at the statue in front of him.
Looking at the statue in front of him, Bobota felt as if he could see the depths of a bottomless abyss through its tranquil eyes. There was a vast and boundless world, and in the center of that world was a library. An indescribable existence was looking up from the library, silently casting its gaze beyond space and time, silently meeting his gaze.
Bobota seemed to have understood the identity of the statue in front of him, but he did not stop because of that. Instead, he replied softly, "This is the only way I can get what I want."
Despite his words, there was a trace of rebellion in Bobota's eyes, but it was soon replaced by stubbornness.
'As long as I can reignite the Torch of Origin, the Flame of Reverence will burn the endless future, and the glory of my race will return to this world. Even if I fall into the abyss of hell, it will be worth it! '
In the distance, Iyadese did not expect that Bobota would be so stubborn in front of the noble Archdemon God. However, what surprised Iyadese even more was that Bobota did not speak the demon language at all, but the common language of humans!
'Did I make a mistake? Is this huge Alien actually from the human world?'
"So, you intend to go against my will?" The Scholar of Cruelty's voice was still calm, but the air in the underground hall seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Iyadese looked at Bobota quietly. Even though it was far away, it could not help but submit under the terrifying pressure. It wanted to know Bobota's choice.
"Yes." Bobota did not show any hesitation on his face. Although his forehead was covered with sweat in a short time under the pressure of the Scholar of Cruelty, he did not intend to change his mind at all.
"It's a pity, but in order to fulfill my promise with the Abyss Demon Eye, I have to stop you." As soon as the Scholar of Cruelty finished speaking, the hall suddenly shook. Countless sharp weapons drilled out of the walls of the hall, densely filling the air above the hall.
If one were to close their eyes and sense it, they would find that there were runes on the backs of these weapons. They were controlled by the runes, and their sharp points were all aimed at Bobota.
At the same time, Bobota also felt the endless pressure from the Scholar of Cruelty. It was as if he had fallen into a world of dazzling lights.
On the other side, the pressure on Iyadese suddenly disappeared. It looked at the center of the hall in confusion. Bobota's pressure was still there, but mine was the only one that was relieved. Iyadese thought for a moment and understood what this meant.
Obviously, the Scholar of Cruelty wanted to make it a part of the killing.
It stood up and released its true form. Bone armor appeared on its body, and a cold bone blade appeared in its hand. It pointed at Bobota.
When Iyadese raised the bone blade high, the sharp points around it also aimed at Bobota's vital point. Bobota was still shocked by the Scholar of Cruelty's pressure and could not move.
Iyadese could already see Bobota's head being chopped off in the next second, and the sharp points would tear Bobota into pieces.
The pleasure of dominating Bobota's life made Iyadese excited. It gripped the bone blade even harder, determined to kill Bobota in one strike.
Whoosh!
The bone blade and the sharp points moved at the same time. Iyadese's speed seemed to have turned into smoke as it rushed toward Bobota.
Soon, Iyadese arrived in front of Bobota and slashed down with its blade. However, when the blade was about to touch Bobota's skin, it suddenly stopped.
In other words, it was not only Iyadese's attack, but also the countless sharp awls stopped in midair.
It was as if time had stopped at this moment.
"What happened? What happened?" Iyadese was thinking, but his body was still frozen.
While Iyadese was confused, the Scholar of Cruelty suddenly let out a long sigh.
The sigh contained a lot of unknown emotions. Just as Iyadese was about to probe further, the chains on Bobota's body suddenly began to move. With a flash of bright light, Iyadese was bounced back by a tremendous force.
Iyadese was sent flying and smashed into the wall of the underground hall, creating a deep hole in the ground.
Iyadese was not injured because of the bone armor, but he still could not move. Iyadese looked through the hole to where the statue was.
It wanted to see what was going on. Also, what did the Scholar of Cruelty's sigh mean?
However, Iyadese did not see Bobota. Bobota was covered by a thick layer of black mist.
The black fog came out of Bobota's body. When the black fog dispersed, a halo suddenly appeared in the middle of the fog.
The black fog and the halo merged perfectly, making it look like a "total solar eclipse".
When Iyadese saw the "total solar eclipse", his throat went dry. He now understood why he was sent flying and why the Scholar of Cruelty sighed.
The symbol of the "total solar eclipse" was not unfamiliar to Iyadese because it was the Deep Imprint.
The full name of the Deep Imprint was the True Name of the Deep Imprint.
The Deep Imprint was a peerless demon god in the Abyss.
In the world of demon gods, there was also a hierarchy. The Deep Imprint was at the top of the pyramid, while the Scholar of Cruelty was only a demon god, one level lower than the Deep Imprint.
Therefore, when the Scholar of Cruelty saw the Imprint of the Deep Imprint, he could not help but sigh.
At this time, Iyadese was full of helplessness. It did not expect that the two most powerful demon gods in the Abyss would descend their consciousnesses here.
"So, this is the game of the demon gods." Iyadese's eyes dimmed. With its strength, it was impossible for it to participate in a game of this level.
"You finally appeared." The Scholar of Cruelty sighed softly.
With a strange laughter, a strange wave came from the Deep Imprint.
The Scholar of Cruelty seemed to have heard something from the wave. "The Demon Eye of Abyss has indeed left, but its consciousness returned a thousand years ago. Its Listener is here."
The Scholar of Cruelty looked at Iyadese for the first time.
Iyadese felt its scalp tingle. It had indeed received a revelation from the Demon Eye of Abyss. However, it did not decipher the real meaning of that revelation.
Waves came from the Deep Imprint again.
"Since you still want to compete for its power, I will give in," the Scholar of Cruelty replied calmly.
As the Scholar of Cruelty made his promise, a strange laughter came from the Deep Imprint. Slowly, the black fog disappeared along with the "total solar eclipse".
Only Bobota, whose eyes had returned to madness, and the Scholar of Cruelty, whose wings were wrapping around its body, remained where they were.
The wings returned to their original position. It seemed that the Scholar of Cruelty did not stop Bobota as promised.
However, just as the wings were about to close, another ripple spread out from the Scholar of Cruelty's body. This time, Bobota's eyes gradually regained some clarity from the madness in his eyes.
Bobota felt the return of his sanity. He looked at the Scholar of Cruelty with gratitude.
"Your choice will not allow you to stay lucid for long." The Scholar of Cruelty paused for a second and said, "Actually, I'm … very interested in you. If you choose to abandon him, you can come to my world."
The Scholar of Cruelty left a meaningful sentence before it was completely wrapped up by the wings and disappeared.
With the disappearance of the Scholar of Cruelty, no one could stop Bobota from pressing on the Rune Hub.
However, Bobota, who had regained his clarity, looked at the Rune Hub and hesitated. In the end, Bobota looked at the chains on his body and pressed on the Rune Hub.
