With the memories of every bishop for the past ten thousand years, and the accumulated wisdom of countless sages and saints, the Pope's counterattack was obviously not on a whim.
He had already investigated all the information he could find, and his understanding of Lockmarton surpassed that of any mortal. He even knew the Forgotten Abyss like the back of his hand.
In this aspect, perhaps only the ancient Wardens could compare to them.
The old bishop was telling Hao Ren everything he knew in detail, "Lockmarton's body is in Spiral Hill, a few hundred kilometers away. On the other side of Spiral Hill is the 'Sea of Turmoil', which is filled with primitive energy and nightmarish illusions. It is a boundless area of fog. 'Boundless' is not an exaggeration, it is a fact. From the outside, the Sea of Turmoil is only a few dozen kilometers wide, but if you go deep into it, the space inside is unimaginably vast. You will never be able to pass through the fog, and only by wielding a divine artifact and retracing your steps will you have a chance of survival. Thus, when fighting Lockmarton, we have to avoid that area … "
Geddon, the Lord of the Mountains, nodded, "That is Lockmarton's mind. Once its thoughts leaked out, it would form such a domain. Only demigod-level intelligence could move freely in it, while mortals would forever be lost in the endless illusion — because the capacity of mortals' minds was far lower than Lockmarton's, they could not break through the limits of Lockmarton's thinking no matter how hard they tried. The appearance of the Sea of Turmoil means that Lockmarton's mind has completely recovered. At least on a spiritual level, it is completely free. "
"Looks like I can move around in that place." Hao Ren nodded, "But it is best to stay away from it. You will never be able to compete with a lunatic's imagination."
The old bishop glanced at him and continued, "Secondly, Lockmarton has no weakness, or rather, no decisive weakness. Its body is forever in between the real and the intangible. It is an indescribable mixture of energy and matter, and every part of its body will be either real or intangible. On this body, it has no weak points, no obvious organs, no obvious functional divisions, and no parts that cannot be regenerated after being destroyed. The feasible solution is to deal a huge amount of damage to its entire body in an instant, or to continuously deal a huge amount of damage to force it to use up its energy in the process of regeneration. Back then, we chose the second option. "
"You will definitely fail," Geddon boomed, his words direct. "I do not doubt that you will be able to deal significant damage to it in the first few rounds of attacks, but I fear that your attacks will not last long. It will quickly assimilate you. Whether you look at it, attack it, or even think of its name or mention its existence within its range of attention, it will cause your mind to gradually collapse. This is fatal to mortals. The biggest problem with fighting Lockmarton is the continuous mental breakdown that happens within you. This is far more terrifying than the minions of the Evil God. "
"I can think of something about that," Hao Ren said and looked at the old bishop. "What about the other aspects? How big was Lockmarton's main body? Would normal physical attacks be effective against it? "
"I can answer that," the Lord of the Mountains said. "Its observable part is about two-thirds the size of Fidelinopolis. At the same time, this part is also its' body '. Outside of this body, there is a' zone 'that cannot be observed by the naked eye. That is its mind, which is also a part of its body. The Sea of Turmoil is a part of this zone. The zone can extend to the entire planet, but it has not completely escaped, so this zone should be limited to the area between Spiral Hill and the Sea of Turmoil. In Lockmarton's realm of thought, things will develop in a strange direction, and the boundary between illusion and reality will be blurred. All kinds of things in the spiritual world will become reality, and things in the real world may also be annihilated because of a nightmare … "
Another warden nodded. "Let me give you two examples. When a weak-willed person enters Lockmarton's realm of thought, if he or she thinks of a scary thing or thing out of fear, the scary symbol will appear in the real world, and it will be exactly the same as in the nightmare. On the other hand, if someone doubts or wavers in his or her own existence, he or she will immediately become an imaginary thing and disappear like a dream when no one is paying attention."
Lockmarton's power was this strange and terrifying — and this was after it had been suppressed for ten thousand years, lost its original body, and suppressed by the prison's remnant system!
In the face of such power, the old bishop was not blindly confident, but his tone was unwavering. "We are ready to sacrifice ourselves. We will deal a heavy blow to it before we are completely wiped out."
"Then there is one more important point," Geddon, the Lord of the Mountains, said slowly as he looked at everyone. "This is about whether we can truly destroy Lockmarton. We must ensure that it cannot revive.
"Even if we successfully reach Spiral Hill, break through the army of Chaos, and destroy Lockmarton's body, it will not die so easily. It's a cunning creature with a strong vitality. It has been here for so long that it must have formed a mysterious connection with this space. The Forgotten Abyss is its cage, but at the same time, it has become its breeding ground and protective shell. Perhaps it has already transformed Spiral Hill into a place suitable for survival and hiding. We are fighting on its home turf, so we can't guarantee that it will not be able to fake its death or resurrect itself. "
Y 'zaks himself was a great demon king, and one who was often challenged by the brave. He had written and directed his own drama of the return of the demon king several times. So at this time, he immediately began to use his rich work experience to think of a way to deal with the villain boss who was good at resurrection and stealth. "If only I could isolate it … or track its soul …"
Everyone expressed their opinions. Some provided information on Lockmarton, some provided information on the Chaos army near Spiral Hill, and some came up with various battle plans. Hao Ren, on the other hand, was silent. He rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Vivian was the first to notice this. She gently touched Hao Ren's arm. "What have you thought of?"
"I have a plan," Hao Ren said.
His voice was not loud, but everyone at the scene was not simple. Naturally, they would not miss it, so everyone immediately quietened down.
"First, I want to confirm that the Forgotten Abyss and Collow are essentially two sides of the same dimension. The two are the old world and the new world, so they are on the same level in terms of spatial structure. Am I right?"
"Yes."
"So, even though this is a sealed 'prison', as long as we have the coordinates and decryption algorithm, we can directly go to the outer universe from here, and not necessarily pass through Collow?"
Geddon hesitated for a moment, but he still told the truth. "Yes. The new world outside is actually only used to house the survivors after the disaster, as well as to act as a carrier for the prison system. It does not have the ability to seal the prison — the thing that seals it is actually the Forgotten Abyss's own divine barrier. "
"Can you tell us the decryption algorithm for this barrier?"
"Decryption algorithm for the prison?!" Geddon was shocked, and instinctively wanted to reject. "That is the highest —"
"To completely destroy Lockmarton, the best way is to get him away from his home turf," Hao Ren interrupted. "Both the Forgotten Abyss and Collow have been infected by his power for many years. There are passageways and cracks everywhere for the Nightmare to infiltrate. So, I need to send him to another battlefield … a battlefield that he has never fought before."
"That's too dangerous." The giant was still shaking his head. "The power of the Nightmare will be weakened in space, but Lockmarton will have endless opportunities to escape. Space is vast, and with the power we have …"
"Who said we have the power we have?" Hao Ren smiled and continued to poke the MDT. "Show everyone a picture of the scene."
"Just say it, don't keep poking and poking …"
The MDT grumbled, but it obediently turned on the holographic projection. The scene that made the giant warden gasp instantly appeared in the middle of the hall.
It was the current state of the outer universe.
Countless turrets, countless fortresses, and countless firepower stations!
The densely packed space facilities formed a huge three-dimensional picture in space. The fortresses and rail cannons were connected by light beams and alloy rails. It looked messy, but on a macro level, it was orderly and intricate. Countless oddly-shaped aircraft (drone swarms) flew around these space buildings, sending more rail cannons and fortress-level cannons into predetermined positions …
And in the dark space further away, there was more than one such building complex!
The camera slowly zoomed out, and finally revealed the full view of this magnificent structure.
Tens of thousands of firepower platforms were arranged in the shape of a sphere, constituting layers of defense lines. At the center of all the facilities, in the deepest and darkest area of the universe, an enormous silver metal ring was floating in silence. Inside the ring, various colors of light and shadows were shaking like ripples, as if they were reflecting the sceneries of another world.
The 'bishop assembly' and Calaxus were stunned. When Hao Ren and Geddon talked about the 'outer universe', they already could not understand it. What they saw now was like a dream. Geddon was also stunned. He knew the world of the sea of stars, and he naturally knew what this incredible space facility meant. In fact, even Hao Ren was stunned because …
Because he did not expect the MDT and Nolan, the two workaholics, to come up with such a crazy thing! This was even more ridiculous than the last time he saw it!
The MDT explained through the mental connection, "Buddy, didn't you say that you were worried about the lack of firepower, so you asked us to move the Crapple Research Station's Longsong Cannons here? I thought it made sense, so I moved all the Longsong Cannons from the nearby drone nests and half of Io's ground-attack satellites here … You started work a little too early. If you delay it for another half a month, I can assemble two more Celestial Destroyer Cannons on the spot …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
