Angor stood up and looked around.
It was pitch-black and nothing could be seen. There was also no sound of wind. It was so quiet that it was like an eternal underworld.
He tried calling for Woof Woof and Dalmatian.
But there was no response. It was as if he was alone in a remote corner.
He thought for a moment and snapped his fingers. A faint light rose from his fingertip.
It was a level-0 cantrip called Light.
Light worked like a torch, which could only illuminate an area of two to three meters. He didn't use Light or Illumination because he was inside the dog's stomach. He didn't know what would happen if he used too much energy. Last time, he saw a civilization inside the dog's stomach being destroyed many times by a little bit of light.
To be safe, Angor decided to use a harmless level-0 cantrip.
Using the faint light from Illuminate, he found himself standing on a platform. The ground was hard and felt like stone. There were traces of artificial polishing, and some parts were damaged.
There were no other creatures around him.
It seemed that this time, the Dalmatian wouldn't be like last time, directly giving him the evolution of a world and the light of civilization.
Since it wasn't to let him watch a "movie", then why did it swallow him into its stomach? And where did Woof Woof go? Also, where were Watcher, Boroye, and Gruz Dward?
Puzzled, he walked around the platform.
Soon, he noticed something special about it.
He thought he was in some kind of "ruin" since there were signs of artificial excavation. But after walking around, he realized that the platform wasn't a ruin at all. Or rather, it wasn't "on the ground" at all.
It was floating in the air.
It was similar to the round altar he saw when he went to the void to find Mister Feng's treasure.
The only difference was that the platform wasn't round at all. It was broken and irregular.
As for why there was such a thing in Dalmatian's stomach … Angor didn't want to think about it. He already saw civilizations being destroyed in Dalmatian's stomach. Why would he care about something like a void?
But he was still wondering why he chose to stay on the platform.
Did Dalmatian leave him here for no reason? Or did it have some other purpose?
Angor thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer. In the end, he decided to just ask his main body.
He took out his purple Void Traveler, Hydland, and asked it to connect to the void network.
However, Hydland's tentacle reached into Angor's forehead. It waited for a while, but there was no notification.
Clearly, the network was blocked inside the dog's stomach.
Angor looked at Hydland. "Woof Woof is the leader of your kind. You can sense it, right? Do you know where it is?"
Hydland tilted its head...
"You don't need to tell me where it is.."
Hydra was still looking at Angor with a confused look. Then it reached out its tentacles again, thinking that Angor was trying to contact the void network again.
Angor sighed helplessly. As expected, all Void Travelers were idiots except for Woof Woof.
Helplessly, he put away Hyde and decided to find a way to break through the current situation himself.
He walked around the platform again and observed the surroundings. Still, he didn't find anything.
Could it be that the spotted dog only wanted to trap him?
But that didn't make sense. The dog had plenty of ways to trap him. Besides, Angor didn't spend much time with the dog, but it had helped him a lot every time. Angor didn't believe that the dog would harm him.
But if the Dalmatian didn't want to trap him, then why would it put him on a platform that didn't even have an edge?
There should be some clues here … but he didn't find anything after searching for a long time.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind.
He did check the area around the platform, including the void. But he seemed to have missed something … right below the platform.
Earlier, he had only been clinging to the edge of the platform and casually looked down. After confirming that the platform was floating, he did not look down carefully.
Maybe there was something down there?
With that in mind, Angor quickly moved to the edge of the platform. He stomped on the air and reversed the gravity, allowing him to land on the other side of the platform.
He didn't find anything behind the platform. However, when he raised his head to look up, he saw a faint light in the depths of the sky.
According to the coordinates on the platform, the "sky" was actually the bottom of the void.
He didn't see it because the platform was blocking his view. Now that he was walking backwards on the back of the platform, he finally saw the faint light.
Angor couldn't step into the void. He just didn't know where he would end up, so he had to stay on the platform.
But now that he saw the light spots below the platform, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death to claim him.
Besides, he didn't think the dog would use this method to harm him.
Since he had nothing else to worry about, he didn't think too much about it. He stomped on the ground and rushed toward the light.
Even with the help of the sequence of gravity, it still took him a full ten minutes to see the light spot getting bigger. From this, it could be seen how vast this void was.
It could be said that the dalmatian's stomach was hiding a huge world.
He remembered holding the dog in his arms when he was outside. Did that mean he also held a world in his arms?
The inexplicable thought that floated in his mind was quickly extinguished because he could already see the outline of the light spot.
He thought that the light might be a path, a passage, an exit, or some other puzzle that could lead him to his destination.
However, what he never expected was that the light was actually a huge golden bell.
This golden circular clock emitted an endless radiance. There were twelve hours carved on it, and the needle stopped at a quarter past zero, not moving at all.
Angor looked at the golden bell and felt that it looked very familiar.
When he first met the Time Thief, the other party seemed to be sitting on such a huge clock wheel, and called him with a smile, "Young man."
Was this the clock the Time Thief was sitting on? But wasn't that the Wheel of Time? Why was it inside the dog's stomach?
He slowly approached the clock to see if there was another man who called himself Cassini sitting on top of the clock like the last time he saw him.
However, as he approached the bell, he quickly confirmed that there was no one above it.
He was a little disappointed, but he didn't stop walking toward the clock.
The golden clock couldn't have appeared here for no reason. There had to be a reason behind it. Maybe the exit was inside the clock?
However, he still couldn't find anything strange under the golden bell.
After a moment of hesitation, Angor slowly reached his hand forward.
As soon as his fingertip touched the clock, the clock released a blinding light.
Next, he heard a ticking sound. He looked up and saw the needle, which had been frozen for a long time, was moving again.
But it wasn't moving clockwise like a normal clock. Instead, it was moving in an anti-clockwise direction.
As the needle moved, a strong suction force came from the center of the clock, which sucked a large amount of golden light into the clock.
There were all kinds of clock images inside the golden light, and all of them were moving in an anti-clockwise direction. It was as if time was flowing backward.
The suction force grew stronger and stronger. In the end, Angor was sucked into the golden light as well. Following the shadows of various clocks, he was sucked into the golden clock as well.
Angor was gone.
The hands of the golden clock returned to zero as if nothing had happened.
…
Compared to Angor, the watcher's fate was much worse.
After being swallowed into the dog's stomach along with Boroye and Gruz Dayward, they found themselves in a large, white chamber that was completely sealed off from the outside.
The chamber was quite large. Standing at the center of the chamber and looking at the edges, one could see at least several thousand meters away.
Besides, unlike Angor, they couldn't use their mana like Angor did. Their mana whirlpools seemed to be frozen in time. No matter how they tried to summon them, they couldn't do anything.
There were no patterns of laws in the chamber, so they couldn't use their power of laws.
The only thing that wasn't sealed was their physical strength.
However, their physical strength wasn't enough to break the walls of the chamber. They couldn't even leave a mark on the walls.
In other words, they were completely trapped in this pure white secret room.
"We're in that dog's stomach?"
"What the hell is that dog?"
"Watcher, you know Angor. Did Angor tell us anything about the dog, Kero?"
Chaotic conversations continued to resound in the pure white secret room.
The guard had a bitter smile on his face. He himself was still in a daze and had no idea what had happened. As for Angor, the watcher only met Angor today. There was no such thing as a Dalmatian, so how could Angor know anything about it?
Boroye, on the other hand, believed that the watcher was hiding something.
Boroye believed that he was the strongest among them in terms of physical strength, which was why he dared to criticize the watcher.
The watcher wouldn't be able to gain Boroye's trust even if he tried to explain. He had no choice but to keep quiet.
Just as the Pure White Secret Room was in a mess, a familiar dog bark sounded.
Everyone turned their heads to look. Unknowingly, that spotted puppy had appeared in the secret chamber.
It slowly walked to the center of the group and tilted its head to look at them with innocent eyes.
For some reason, everyone understood what the puppy was trying to say.
"Here's something good for you."
Then, the spotted puppy opened its mouth, and a golden net-like structure appeared in the pure white secret room.
As soon as it appeared, a terrifying attractive force swept across the entire chamber.
"It's the Mystery Fruit!" Boroye yelled.
Everyone present knew what would happen if they were attracted by the mysterious fruit.
They didn't expect the puppy to be so cruel as to leave the fruit here. More importantly, they were in a sealed chamber! They couldn't even run away!
However, their fear only lasted for a moment.
They realized that the Mystery Fruit's attraction wasn't as strong as it was outside. If they tried their best to maintain their spirit power, they could barely resist the attraction.
No one dared to take a break. They all tensed up their minds.
Although he was barely able to resist the attraction, this kind of long-term mental tension would also become mental torture. Everyone knew this, but they had to do it in order to avoid being devoured by the fruit.
Meanwhile, the puppy wasn't affected at all. It wandered around the room step by step.
It looked left and right.
Finally, it stopped in front of the watcher.
Although the Overseer was also resisting the attraction, he still diverted a bit of his attention and noticed the spotted dog.
"Hey, I don't have a grudge against you, right? I just helped you, and this is how you treat me?"
The puppy tilted its head and stared at the watcher. It didn't respond.
"Do you know Angor? Angor, the one who hugged you just now? We're good friends. "
The puppy kept staring at the watcher. Still, it didn't respond.
Just when the watcher thought it was an emotionless puppy, the puppy suddenly lifted its stubby leg and kicked at the watcher.
A powerful force sent the watcher flying.
After flying for several thousand meters, the watcher finally landed heavily on the ground. By now, he had reached the edge of the room.
It had been years since he was kicked like this. The pain in his chest made the watcher curse in his mind.
However, when he opened his eyes again, he was stunned.
Huh? The attraction wasn't as strong as before?
It was still attractive, but he didn't need to strain himself too much to resist it.
The Overseer stood up and looked towards the center of the pure white chamber. He could clearly see that Boroye and Gruz Deward were near the mysterious fruit at this time. Their faces were tense, and their brows were wrinkled so tightly that they could kill a fly.
The closer they were to the fruit, the stronger the attraction.
The puppy didn't kick him here to punish him. It was giving him special treatment.
At this moment, the curse words that had already rushed to his mouth immediately turned into a slightly insincere praise.
However, the object of his praise, the Dalmatian, had already left the Pure White Chamber and was nowhere to be found …
