Chapter 571: Chapter 328: Beacon in the Starry Sky
"Well done."
Withdrawing his gaze, Rogel smiled.
He was naturally aware of Mira’s actions; even without looking personally, Sharo would report everything to him.
The establishment of the Adventurer’s Guild in the Black Tide Secret Society’s seas was something Rogel had instructed Mira to do.
Ever since the delegation of simple Sequence Extraordinary Magic Potions, productivity under the Black Tide Secret Society’s governance had been exponentially and frantically increasing.
Even ordinary citizens, not just the seafaring merchants, could sense it; the prices of various daily items seemed to change daily, and resources quickly became abundant.
With the abundance of goods, naturally, many young men and adventurers were born.
Most, or perhaps it should be said that almost all, young people’s first choice was the Black Tide Secret Society.
Unfortunately, even though the Black Tide Secret Society needed people, it was impossible to recklessly recruit everyone or bring all young people in; the society would be in chaos.
As a result, many young people were not able to join the Black Tide Secret Society or the Black Tide Academy.
Nevertheless, in relatively abundant material conditions, young people naturally sought to secure a relatively better future.
If they couldn’t win the "golden rice bowl" of the Black Tide Secret Society against others, they had no choice but to change paths...
So the number of adventurers kept increasing.
To the point where it had become a burgeoning group that couldn’t be ignored.
That’s why Rogel wanted to establish the Adventurer’s Guild under the Black Tide Secret Society at this time.
This was part of his original plan.
How could such a vast world go unexplored?
Ultimately, someone had to venture out.
Even though, for the current adventurers, the boundary mist remained an insurmountable barrier, Rogel believed that one day they would find a way past it...
"Now, let me see this so-called ’unseeable thing in the starry sky’..."
As he spoke, he reached into the void of the Black Tide and pulled out a wrapped item.
This item appeared both illusory and flickering, sometimes resembling a brilliant starry sky, other times like boundless deep darkness...
"The manifestation of power, huh..."
Rogel pondered; this memory fragment had already had its birthed consciousness erased by him, leaving only a potential manifestation of power, from which perhaps he could glimpse the truth of the entity behind it.
But none of this was important now, as Rogel was about to see who this fellow truly was.
After carefully saving his game state.
Purple light flashed in Rogel’s eyes; under the power of the Authority of Mystery, he peeled away the memory fragment, directly gazing upon its true form...
...
In the deep, dark starry sky, meteorites with an aura of death slowly orbited.
They seemed to be drawn by the gravity of some enormous object.
There were countless meteorites like these, varying in size and shape.
The only commonality was that they orbited around the mysterious gigantic object.
What kind of vast existence was this?
Rogel didn’t know; in this cold, dead starry sky, there was no light.
He depended on the Authority of Mystery to spy on this entity.
Rogel’s expression was serious.
Fernar wasn’t wrong; this entity indeed resembled a giant black sphere in appearance.
But in reality, he clearly saw that this large black sphere was composed of innumerable interwoven, writhing "things" like black boas...
Above the countless "black serpents" that constituted it, a dazzling, rainbow-like color truly existed, and its state seemed as unstable as liquid...
This... why does it bear some resemblance to the Black Tide?! frёewebnoѵēl.com
Rogel suddenly realized this point.
Could this "unseeable thing" in the starry sky be somehow linked to the "Authority of Mystery and Fear" held by Heisatan?
Another existence akin to the "Cruel Demon King"?
Rogel couldn’t help but focus his gaze, trying to probe further.
At the same time, he also activated the game’s information display, wanting to see what information this thing would provide.
However, when the information prompt appeared, Rogel’s pupils involuntarily contracted...
[Remnant Beacon]
[Explanation: Residue left after devourment, with no consciousness of its own, having only acquired some characteristics due to contamination by "saliva," its primary function is merely to anchor a location.]
This thing posed a threat to Rogel comparable to a Demigod Tier creature, yet it was merely... a beacon!
Rogel furrowed his brow.
He sensed there was still power obstructing his view ahead and proceeded to use the Authority of Fear to tear it open and see the truth.
At this moment, he also saw the essence of this thing.
It turned out to be a mix of Demigod flesh and blood residue entwined with black liquid!
Those so-called "black serpents" were simply features of the "saliva" retained, enveloped yet unstable, hence appearing in such a manner!
In other words, a being more terrifying than a demigod devoured a certain demigod, then spat out some remains deliberately left here as a beacon!
Just then, as if sensing Rogel’s probing, the beacon before him began to surge wildly.
"Hooo—"
"Ruuu—"
The sound of death and the silence of loneliness seemed to come from the most dreadful abyss of this world, traversing the constraints of time and space, directly piercing into Rogel’s soul.
The surrounding starry sky trembled as if in response.
This was no exaggerated description, Rogel witnessed it firsthand.
Something was coming; it was tearing through the starry sky!
Yet, despite the impending danger, Rogel remained extraordinarily calm.
