The war in the Abyss of Purgatory had finally entered the next stage.
On the Bloody Battlefield, the demon army had been completely defeated. The allied forces of the demons and humans had been suppressing the demons with constant attacks. The participation of the Holy See's Paladins had also increased their chances of victory.
Although the Holy See's Paladins were few in number, under the leadership of Léon and Eluri, their strength had undergone a qualitative change. The demons who had been blessed by the Holy Light were like gods, and their damage to the demons had increased exponentially. At the same time, their resistance to Chaos pollution had also increased.
As a result, the casualties of the demons on the battlefield had decreased significantly.
When Tang En arrived at the Abyss of Purgatory, he found that the battlefront had been pushed close to the demons' main camp, where he had fought the Demon King before the psionic impact.
Tang En found Depp and asked, "Where is the thing you found?"
"It's not here. It's too dangerous there. We can't get close at all, but we used a drone to record the situation there."
Depp brought Tang En and the others to the command center, and then began to play the video they had recorded.
In the video, the drone quickly approached the chaotic battlefield from the air. At first, there was only a small black dot in the video, but as the camera zoomed in, the black dot gradually grew larger and larger until it finally occupied the entire field of view. It turned into a very large, indescribably twisted passage.
That's right, this was the gigantic Chaos Gate that had existed since the birth of the previous civilization ten thousand years ago!
The space around the Chaos Gate was distorted. The closer to the center, the darker the light became. At the very center, it had become the purest darkness. Even light could not escape from there. It reminded Tang En of a black hole.
In the passage, everything was fragmented. The broken space fragments were connected to unknown places, and all kinds of strange images could be seen in the space fragments.
"This Chaos Gate is very large. It's surrounded by an aura that drives people crazy. Even with the protection of Saintess Eluri, we don't dare to get too close to it. We can only record it with a drone. The Magic Measurement Wave will be swallowed, and its size will change periodically, so its diameter cannot be accurately measured. I can only conservatively estimate that its diameter is at least 10 kilometers! "
Depp had a bitter smile on his face. He knew that his explanation was unreliable, but there was no way he could accurately describe what he saw. The power of the Chaos Gate was twisted and distorted. It was indescribable. Everything that happened there challenged the limits of human rationality. There was no way he could find the right words to describe it.
"According to Barmetos, the demons fought against the Chaos creatures here. Although they eventually repelled the Chaos creatures, their companions were corrupted by the power of Chaos and turned into Devils. Then, the Devils revolved around this Chaos Gate and multiplied until now."
Depp paused for a moment, then continued, "Now, the demons have been defeated by us and the demons. But now, we have to face this thing — a Chaos Gate of this size. It's unprecedented, even in Prandal history. We don't know how to deal with it."
Do you think I'll have a solution just because you called me here?
Tang En looked at the unusually large Chaos Gate in the video. His head felt like it was going to explode.
Generally speaking, according to the current experience, the Chaos Gate was categorized by the various races of Planandar as follows:
Miniature Chaos Gates: Less than one meter in diameter, short-lived, weak corruption. Will disappear after being neutralized by the surrounding power of Order. If the surrounding power of Order is not strong enough to neutralize it, it will continue to expand until it becomes a miniature Chaos Gate. Only the minions of Chaos, the minions of Chaos, make up about 70% of the Chaos Gates that have appeared so far. They are the most frequent and most numerous Chaos Gates.
Miniature Chaos Gates: Less than ten meters in diameter, long-lived, average corruption, but will not disappear after being neutralized by the power of Order. They will continue to expand as they corrode the surrounding power. If there are no restrictions, they will grow into a medium-sized Chaos Gate within 30 days. They will begin to appear and be called tentacle monsters and beholders, making up about 25% of the total number of Chaos Gates. They are the main enemies that City of Silver has to deal with.
Medium-sized Chaos Gates: Less than fifty meters in diameter, strong corruption. If there are no restrictions, they will grow into a large-sized Chaos Gate within 20 days. They will begin to appear and have a small probability of Primal Chaos Creatures appearing, making up about 4% of the total number of Chaos Gates. They are very dangerous, and must be dealt with as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the situation will worsen. Both Chaos Invasions began at this stage.
Large-sized Chaos Gates: Less than one hundred meters in diameter, strong corruption, rapid growth, and will grow into a gigantic Chaos Gate within 10 days. They will begin to appear and have a higher probability of Primal Chaos Creatures appearing, making up about 0.99% of the total number of Chaos Gates. They are very dangerous, and most of them appear during Chaos Invasions. They rarely appear. Generally speaking, the discovery of a large-sized Chaos Gate usually means that Chaos Invasions are about to begin …
Large-sized Chaos Gates: More than one hundred meters in diameter, strong corruption, rapid growth, and will continue to expand several times over in a few days. They make up about 0.009% of the total number of Chaos Gates. Monsters like Primal Fear Demons will appear, and their level of danger is immeasurable. So far, they have only been seen during Chaos Invasions.
Large-sized Chaos Gates: Historically, there were only two of them. After the giant Chaos Gates continued to expand for a few days, they would be known as the Large-sized Chaos Gate. To the creatures of Prandal, classifying Chaos Gates of this level was meaningless. This was because Chaos Gates of this level had only appeared once in each of the two Chaos Invasions, and each time, they had almost destroyed the entire world.
Now, in front of Tang En was such a gigantic Chaos Gate. Even if the gods were to descend, they would not be able to do anything about it, let alone Tang En!
Otherwise, this Chaos Gate would not have stood here for so many years without being properly dealt with.
Depp said helplessly, "Those below are all demons. They won't be affected by the Chaos Gate if they're around it. So, if the battlefield is over there, it's very disadvantageous for us. That's why the battle has reached a stalemate. "
"After all, they're creatures that have been completely corrupted by Chaos. Of course, they won't be affected by the Chaos Gate."
Tang En suddenly asked, "Are these demons guarding the Chaos Gate?"
In the video, the demons were constantly moving around the Chaos Gate. Even when they were attacked by the Helicarriers in the distance, they did not leave. They looked very much like gatekeepers.
Depp shrugged. "Maybe to them, the Chaos Gate is as important as their mother."
"How far is the Chaos Gate from the location of the video? Is it ten kilometers? "
"About twenty kilometers in a straight line."
Depp gestured with his hands. "At this distance, our drones are severely affected. They can't keep up with the recording for much longer. The footage you're seeing now is the result of the many drones we've sent out to film and edit together."
Tang En felt a headache coming on. The Chaos Gate looked so huge from twenty kilometers away. What would it look like when they got closer?
"Wait! That was — "
Tang En suddenly shouted. He was shocked to find Aiguin in one of the spatial fragments! He could see Aiguin fighting fiercely with the Chaos creatures in the spatial fragment!
He carefully observed the spatial fragments in the video and found many familiar scenes. There were forests, mountains, seas …
Tang En felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him from head to toe. He suddenly thought of a possibility. He shouted, "The spatial fragments near the Chaos Gate are connected to other places in Prandal! The Chaos Gates that appeared on the surface may have originated from here! The aura of Chaos is spreading to other places through the spatial fragments! "
Although not all the Chaos Gates that appeared in Prandal spread from here, the proportion that spread from here must have occupied an absolute proportion!
Why did the Chaos creatures not invade Prandal even though the Chaos Gate had existed for so long?
Because the gods had used a shield to isolate the Purgatory Abyss from the outside world. The aura of the Purgatory Abyss, which was full of demons, was closer to that of the Chaos creatures, so they might have mistaken it for a corrupted area!
Why did the frequency of the Chaos Gates in Prandal increase recently?
It was because the shield used to isolate the Purgatory Abyss from the surface world had been destroyed by Tang En. Moreover, Tang En and the others were constantly destroying the demons. The aura of Chaos in the Purgatory Abyss was gradually fading away, causing the power of Chaos to backfire!
The more Tang En thought about it calmly, the more he found that he seemed to be gradually approaching the truth, but the truth was so bitter. The direct reason for Prandal's accelerated death was actually because of his unintentional stab?
Depp and the others finally noticed the situation inside the Chaos Gate. They were all shocked. "In other words, this Chaos Gate is the main body of all the Chaos Gates that appeared in Prandal!?"
"It's very possible."
Tang En took a deep breath. His expression was extremely solemn. "Maybe, completely destroying the demons was the wrong choice …"
Completely destroying the demons was to restore order to the Purgatory Abyss and to harvest the fruit of victory for the demons who had been fighting for years. However, after a large number of demons tainted with the aura of Chaos disappeared, it was equivalent to Prandal losing its disguise and directly exposing itself to the enemy's perception. This would lead to the Purgatory Abyss being completely exposed to the Chaos army!
Prandal would inevitably become more dangerous because of this!
Now, the most important thing for him to do was to destroy the Chaos Gate, but there was nothing he could do!
Even if he used a nuclear bomb to destroy the Chaos Gate, he was afraid that it would not be easy to destroy it!
But what he didn't expect was that the turning point would come so quickly …
