Any kind of disaster in the Darkness Continent had the possibility of destroying the six continents.
This also meant that if the Darkness Continent wanted to affect the six continents or even destroy them, it would only be a matter of moving a finger.
However, over the countless years, the various [Danger Factors] in the Darkness Continent had never really affected the six continents.
For example, the number of giant deep-sea magical beasts in the Dark Sea was no less than those on the continent. However, they had never crossed the borders of the Dark Sea and headed to the sea of the six continents.
If a giant deep-sea magical beast were to invade the sea of the six continents, even if it was at the level of a nine-headed bird, it would still have a great impact on the sea authority of the countries on the six continents.
If it wasn't for Law providing a solution to the growth-type disaster that had been released on Demon Island, the Ferry Bureau would have only been able to limit the disaster to Demon Island and not be able to solve the root cause of the disaster.
This was the weakness of the six continents in dealing with the Darkness Continent, not to mention the various disasters that had yet to be solved in the Ferry Bureau's underground.
It could be predicted that once the sea of the six continents was invaded by the giant deep-sea magical beasts from the Dark Sea, the humans would never be able to go out to sea and obtain sufficient resources from the sea.
One was still fine, but what about five, ten, or even more?
This possibility was also the reason why V5 advocated not to invade the Darkness Continent. However, the humans' urgent need for resources would eventually trigger their desire to open Pandora's Box.
Fortunately, the humans' many attempts at probing the borders didn't lead to too bad of an outcome.
Then, why had the giant deep-sea magical beasts from the Dark Sea never set foot in the human sea of the six continents?
The reason was that the Mobius Serpent had used its body to create a wall that even the giant deep-sea magical beasts couldn't cross. It had created a boundary that prevented the six continents from connecting to the Darkness Continent.
And now, cracks had appeared on the [Boundary] city wall. This wasn't a good thing in the eyes of the giant eye, but it wasn't a bad thing either.
Its consciousness projection couldn't extend to the area where the six continents were located, and the mission of guarding the six continents and the Darkness Continent had nothing to do with it.
Therefore, when it discovered that there was a problem with the Mobius Serpent's body, it could only observe calmly and silently from the side. Then, its instinct to spy would drive it to find out the reason.
His line of sight moved away from the collapsed rock wall and slightly tilted to one side, looking into the pitch-black and cold distance.
Snakes had heads and tails, but the head and tail of the Mobius Serpent met in one place.
The giant eye was looking in the direction where the head and tail of the Mobius Serpent met.
[…]
Without a sound, the motionless eye gradually blurred and disappeared after a while.
The next second, the giant eye appeared where the head and tail of the Mobius Snake were. It was still a towering rock wall, but the difference was that the rock wall here protruded outwards, revealing the outline of a gigantic snake head.
Above the snake's head, there were two spots that flickered with a faint light, like dim starlight.
The giant eye looked at the glimmer on the snake's head and knew that it was the eyes of the Mobius Serpent. It focused its attention and saw that the eyes were lifeless. It had probably lost consciousness, or was it … asleep?
[…]
In the silence, the giant eye shifted its gaze downwards and landed on a door-sized book standing on the seabed.
[Repairer.]
It silently read out the identity of the book.
The giant eye was very clear about the relationship between the Repairer and the Mobius Serpent, so it was normal for the Repairer to be present when something happened to the Mobius Serpent.
It observed silently from the side, and the Repairer could not see the giant eye. It stood in front of the rock wall, motionless and silent.
After a long time, a hint of impatience appeared in the giant eye's mixed consciousness.
It needed to obtain some information or clues, but it did not wish for this stalemate to continue, and it was not willing to waste too much [Power] to spy on the Mobius Serpent's situation.
This kind of tug-of-war back and forth made it very uncomfortable, but this was also the drawback of being a mixed consciousness.
After seriously considering the gains and losses, the giant eye finally could not suppress its nature. It used the power formed from the fragments of imagination it had collected and used the [Spying] ability on the unconscious Mobius Serpent.
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared on the giant eye's pupil, illuminating the dark deep sea in an instant.
However, even though the light was dazzling and eye-catching, and its presence in the deep sea was off the charts, the Repairer and deep-sea creatures in the surroundings and even in the distance did not seem to see the light. They were not affected, nor did they have any reaction.
A moment later, the light retracted and focused on the giant eye's pupil, turning into moving images.
In the images, there were Humanoids that lived in the deep sea, Humanoids that lived on land, and all kinds of unrestricted [Calamities].
After the images in the pupil disappeared, they turned into information that was stored in the giant eye's consciousness.
It turned out that the Humanoids of the deep sea and the Humanoids of the land had worked together to send a type of [Calamity] into the Mobius Serpent's body. They had also used a human team from the six continents to place a type of [Calamity] that was extremely secretive on the human team, thereby breaking the [Rules] and opening up a gap in the Mobius Serpent's body.
[Irreparable.]
The giant eye sorted out the information it had obtained from using the [Spying] ability and realized that the boundary between the Mobius Serpent and the Repairer could no longer be maintained.
Once the gap in the boundary grew larger and larger, some large species from the Dark Continent would invade the six continents …
As long as the giant eye was willing, it could awaken the Mobius Serpent's consciousness and help it resolve the calamity that was raging in its body, as well as repair the gaps that had opened up in countless places. It was only a matter of thought.
However, the giant eye did not intend to stop the situation that was gradually getting worse.
In the end, this matter had nothing to do with it. The most important thing was that the six continents were an area that it could not spy on. Since it was not its territory, what obligation did it have to manage it?
Although it had decided to stand by and watch, the giant eye still chose to leave its main consciousness in the deep sea, constantly paying attention to the situation of the Mobius Serpent and the Repairer.
Perhaps, after a few days, weeks, or months, the wall that the Mobius Serpent had built with its body would collapse into ruins, or it might hold on with great difficulty, but the gap would definitely not be able to be closed.
No matter what the final outcome was, the giant eye would stay here and watch from the beginning to the end.
.....
The World Tree.
Danger brushed past them, but Law and the others did not realize it.
The rainbow light that permeated the branches and leaves of the World Tree was an unbreakable barrier, stopping Law and the others from moving forward and also killing their thoughts of exploring the interior.
Helpless, Law could only focus on plucking the leaves.
In order to not make a wasted trip, he would definitely pluck as much as he could.
In the safe area opened up by the Flaming Tree Silver Flower, everyone split up and busied themselves.
"It's about time …"
Law glanced at the gap they had dug out …
