What would it feel like to be soaked in water? Apart from creatures that could breathe through gills, everyone else would probably feel terrible.
Even aquatic creatures like whales and dolphins would need to regularly float up to breathe.
However, some worlds truly only had water. For example, the water elemental plane was filled with pure water and water. Only a few man-made unnatural environments would allow other creatures to survive.
This wasn't only the water elemental plane. The fire elemental plane was filled with lava and flames. If the fire pit wasn't high enough to ignore the mortal plane's flames, then going to the fire elemental plane would be suicide.
It was the same for the wind and earth elemental planes. However, the wind and earth elemental planes weren't too deadly. There were even more deadly negative energy elemental planes. These special planes were named after the high concentration of elemental energy.
However, no matter which elemental plane it was, it wouldn't be a safe home for the mortal plane's residents.
"The Thunderbolt System has been activated!"
The latest news about environmental fusion came from magical machines that were far more sensitive than living creatures.
The magical armor engines that were originally meant for lightning automatically activated due to the high concentration of thunder elemental energy in the surroundings. However, in terms of design, these engines could only be used in the area of lightning constantly struck by lightning.
"The elemental planes have been transformed."
Rorschach's group confirmed the information they previously received.
"The thunder elemental planes have been transformed?"
Meanwhile, the descenders and hunters who were still unable to communicate with the outside world were able to obtain accurate information from the changes in their surroundings.
Thunder constantly roared in the air. In some corners, there were even constantly flashing balls of lightning. Lightning would suddenly appear and disappear in the next moment, just like the Grim Reaper's vicious smile.
The extreme deterioration of the environment caused the originally escaping survivors to quicken their steps. The hunters who had been full of confidence began to reconsider their previous warnings.
"Ahhh!"
A hunter suddenly screamed as he was transformed into a ball of lightning. He then turned into charcoal, leaving only ash behind.
A high concentration of fire elemental energy would lead to spontaneous combustion. A high concentration of water elemental energy would lead to drowning. A high concentration of earth elemental energy would make even breathing painful. A high concentration of wind elemental energy … Since the magical world didn't have the concept of pure oxygen, the wind elemental plane was actually a relatively mild existence. Of course, the prerequisite was that you could fly.
However, the Lightning Element derived from the Wind Element was closer to the explosive Fire Element in terms of nature. However, compared to the slow warning of the Fire Element, the Lightning Element that he had accumulated previously was silent. Once it exploded, it would be too late to stop it.
As time passed, this area became more and more otherworldly, or to put it more bluntly, the Lightning Elemental Plane.
The high concentration of lightning element activated the Thunderbolt Engine, but it also caused countless lightning element particles to float on all objects.
Being in such an environment was no different from being in a field of fire. If the weak were exposed to an environment overloaded with lightning elements, it would be the same as taking the initiative to face the challenge of natural lightning.
Most of the time, humans could conquer the heavens. Those who were struck by lightning weren't immortals undergoing their Tribulations. Instead, they were unlucky fellows who didn't check the weather before leaving home. And then, one after another, these unlucky fellows were reduced to dust. Most of them didn't even have a chance to say a single last word. The seemingly cruel Death God was actually fair to every single individual.
Death was probably the fairest future for all life. Now, everyone understood.
The ones who suffered the heaviest losses were probably the hunters from Cape Town and the Wasteland Tribe. Most of them fought with their physical bodies. Even if they used magic armor, they didn't use any lightning protection.
Meanwhile, the Aishi People's quota was far too precious. It was basically impossible for them to bring rookies, so all of them were equipped with magic armor.
Considering that they would be facing lightning elemental creatures, most of them had more or less been protected against lightning. Now, they should be able to last longer.
The weaker ones were stuffed into their magic armor. If the strong ones who could last longer were outside, the team would be able to last longer.
As the density of the Lightning Elemental Plane increased, all sorts of testing equipment's energy levels started going off the charts. The alarms on the planes started ringing loudly. Even the most optimistic of hunters knew that they had become prey in a natural death trap.
"Is this a trap!?"
"Why is it like this? Who will benefit if our entire family is killed? I get it! It's all because of those damned Horned Devils, those damned Seymour demons! "
"… Don't try to take the blame whenever you're in trouble. Look over there, isn't that Cape Town's City Lord Sydeen? Is there anyone who puts themselves in a trap first?"
"Hmph, this is most likely a ruse. Soon, someone will come to save him … Otherwise, this is their internal conflict, and we're just the unlucky ones caught in the crossfire."
"It's such a pity that you don't write novels. There are so many schemes in the world. Can't you be a bit more positive?"
"How did you know that I wrote novels … Damn it, look, someone's saving him! I was right! "
That finger was pointing at a rope that was descending from the sky.
Rorschach had rushed over because of the mission that he had just received.
"Save Sydeen? Is that necessary? He was the one who caused all that trouble recently. Our relationship with him isn't that good. "
[Cape Town's City Lord has died here. What do you think will happen? No matter if it's the Seymour people's internal conflict, or the entire tribe's enmity with outsiders for revenge, the unlucky ones will always be us outsiders. Rorschach, what do we need the most right now?]
"… The time and environment to stabilize our development."
That was all I needed to say. There was no need for any more words.
[Of course, the current environment is far too chaotic. If it really doesn't work … You know what I mean.]
Of course Rorschach understood. After all, Sydeen was only an outsider. If he could save him, he would save him. If it wasn't for the fact that they were meeting right now, Lori probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to search for him.
Before Rorschach could finish speaking, he noticed that something was wrong with the situation.
