"Can they create the World Secret Domain from nothing in such a short time?" Ash watched the distant battle through the Gospel Book, as shocked as a textile worker seeing a fully automated factory, wondering if he was about to be replaced: "And it’s so powerful too?"
He knew how strong The Forgotten were. These slaughter Secret Realms hadn’t even loaded the Eternal Wonders, yet they could decimate The Forgotten in waves. He wouldn’t fare any better. However, Ash was also puzzled. If the intensity of the slaughter Secret Realms far exceeded normal Secret Realms, why hadn’t the Six-winged Angel equipped them with slaughter Secret Realms?
Actually, every World Secret Domain contains some level of "Natural Kill." Take the Sword Rain Pool for example — a Secret Realm that can threaten a Demigod. Others like Blood Sea, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon, and Wish Pool, which seem normal, are also Life Forbidden Zones: the air in Blood Sea is filled with viruses and bacteria, the airflow and light in Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon can injure, and the water of the Wish Pool was once used to test a Legendary Mage’s mentality... These realms often become the ’Holy Lands’ of a Magic Faction when it reaches a certain level. Their existential purpose is to push the magic to its limit. And things that are too pure often tend to be toxic.
Even the most harmless Sky Garden would tie down Explorers with its overwhelming beauty, causing them to starve to death while admiring its splendor.
Sonia had previously read in ancient secrets from library investigations, often coming across small stories like "The forest of magical beasts contains a dangerous Secret Realm, where most who enter die, but a few obtain rare Technique Spirits or hidden inheritances." She usually treated them as a relaxing break during studies.
Although the stories might be fake, the core passed down might actually reflect the past: for mortals, naturally occurring World Secret Domains are mysterious zones full of danger and opportunity.
But even the fiercest Sword Rain Pool, its "Natural Kill" is no match for the Dawn Morning Star that Ash currently sees. Obviously, something purely natural being artificially constructed is crushing it, so why do Divine Lords still insist on the natural?
"The price is these Secret Realms can’t be stored in the Magic Temple, nor can they enter any Heavenly Kingdom."
Death Mad chuckled: "They can only be placed in the Greater World, and no one can monopolize them... funny, isn’t it? Naturally born World Secret Domains become a mage’s most precious private collection, but the World Secret Domains created by a mage’s own hands actually attain freedom, with no one being their Master."
"Every Divine Lord with research on World Secret Domains knows how to quickly create a Secret Realm, only the cost and benefit are completely disproportionate. Take the Dawn Morning Star for example, firstly using a Light and Dark Wonder as the main body, then ordering a large quantity of Divine Beings to burn their life as a sacrifice, forcefully stuffing the Power of Laws into the Light and Dark Wonder."
Death Mad said:
"Although there will certainly be a lot of waste, as long as the number of sacrificial Divine Beings is large enough, the Light and Dark Wonder can quickly expand into a World Secret Domain."
"But to describe these rapidly catalyzed Secret Realms with the word ’evil’ may be a bit naïve, but they are like dazzling lotus flowers born of filthy soil, seemingly beautiful yet untouchable. They have no output, or rather, they use all their outputs to enhance the Secret Realm’s kill-power, and they can’t stop spreading infinitely. If anyone dares to place them into the Magic Temple, they can expect to be a complete mess inside and out."
"In reality, they are relentlessly destroying the environment, but reality itself is strong enough to bear their damage. As for the mage’s temple or Heavenly Kingdom... if reality is like a concrete structure that can withstand earthquakes, then the Divine Lord’s Heavenly Kingdom wouldn’t even count as a straw hut."
The price is so high, yet the benefit is a World Secret Domain that can’t be consumed or used, no wonder the Divine Lords insist on the natural. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"But for the current situation, it couldn’t be more fitting." Ash said.
"Exactly, quickly manufactured slaughter Secret Realms are the strongest defense line against The Forgotten," Death Mad said: "Without these five slaughter Secret Realms, the Hell Demigods would have long been utterly overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of Forgotten... but they can only hold on until now."
"Isn’t this advantageous for them, with the upper hand?" Ash was a bit puzzled: "Why can’t they hold on?"
"Do you really believe World Secret Domains have infinite energy?"
Hearing this retort from Death Mad, Ash was startled, then realized something as he stared at the Dawn Morning Star in the image: "You mean..."
"The Divine Lords refer to Secret Realm Wonders as Eternal Wonders because no mage has ever exhausted the resources of a Secret Realm, so Wonders operating with Secret Realm resources naturally become Eternal Wonders." Death Mad said: "One mage can’t do it, ten can’t, a hundred can’t, but what about a thousand, ten thousand, hundreds of thousands of mages? Moreover, these hundreds of thousands of mages can rely on the nearly limitless energy of devouring the World Snake to sustain a whole month of barrages and bombardments?"
"As long as the base number is large enough, what is considered eternal can be within reach."
Death Mad’s voice was indifferent, like a doctor who had seen too many deaths observing the final heartbeat of a dying person:
"When Level Six of Hell is swallowed into the snake’s belly, it’s destined that everything becomes futile. All that is eternal will turn into fireworks, all that is powerful will become past history because Uroboros... is the end for all mages."
As if to prove Death Mad’s correctness, at this moment several teams of Demigods suddenly dashed out in all directions from the Hell Fortress surrounded by five Secret Realms, charging into the enemy formations with a do-or-die attitude.
Let’s not mention their tasks, but just the fact that they actively left the fortress to venture into an absolute dead end suffices to show that the fortress is already on the brink of collapse, forcing even the Demigods to take risks in search of a slim chance of survival!
The scene was like a swarm of flies drawn to rotting flesh, with The Forgotten ravenously hunting down these several teams of Demigods. Ash could see the dense cluster of ’flies’ stirring, conducting what seemed like a grand feast.
He saw a Beastman Demigod turn to block The Forgotten, manipulating fire and thunder with ultimate ferocity, forcibly buying five seconds of escape time for his companions, laughing wildly as he melted amid the thunderous flames;
He saw an Elf Demigod blossom like a Death Flower among The Forgotten, performing a dance of death within enemy lines, firing thousands of flying knives every second, with each able to penetrate any defense and ricochet indefinitely, combining the ferocity of Divine power with the wonder of Divine Prison. Each time the Elf flashed to a location and danced, a death zone with a radius of a hundred meters was created, cutting six empty spaces in the massive swarm before the Source Power depleted, with the Elf wilting in the bloodiest battlefield in the most beautiful gesture;
He saw a Human Demigod wielding dual blades engaging in close combat with The Forgotten. Despite facing innumerable attacks from all directions every second, the Human swordsman remained calm and composed, cutting through enemy lines like the wind avoiding all crises, his skills so exquisite that Ash couldn’t help but applaud. Until dozens of The Forgotten forcibly blocked him, and like that, this wind ceased, never to blow again. freёwebnovel.com
He even saw a Lalafell holding a Magic Wand healing companions, but after rubbing his eyes, it disappeared from view.
