Chapter 441: Chapter437-The Unutterable Name
"You're awake?"
As Owen opened his eyes and looked at Rachel, she looked at him with some joy.
She immediately relaxed when she felt Owen's breath had stabilized.
Then, as if remembering something, her face flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, too shy to meet Owen's gaze directly.
Owen, on the other hand, stared at Rachel intently, his expression somewhat complex.
Cough cough, "Do I have bugs on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Rachel cleared her throat twice, cautiously glancing at Owen.
Although she had already appeared to Owen earlier, she actually didn't want Owen to know that.
She understood that Owen had deep feelings for Leslie, and she didn't want to cause any discomfort for him.
She just wanted to silently like Owen from afar.
Owen, understanding Rachel's thoughts, noticed that she seemed far from her usual mature self at this moment; she appeared more like a simple, innocent child.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Alright, I won't look at you anymore. Thank you for what you did earlier."
Rachel's face turned red, and she slowly shook her head. "I didn't really help much; it was Miss Leslie who asked me to come down to assist you."
Seeing that Rachel didn't want to talk about what had happened before, Owen didn't press the issue and gently hugged her instead.
Then, he turned his gaze toward the dim depths of the Demon Abyss.
There was hardly any light here, and it seemed like the darkest place in the universe.
Owen's soul fluctuation expanded, taking in the surrounding scenery.
This place had already been destroyed during the Millennial Cataclysm.
It had not yet been fully reconstructed, and everywhere was in ruins.
Owen's expression grew serious. In the original anime, there was little recorded about the Demon Abyss.
This place was extremely mysterious, but from some of the settings, it seemed eerie and incredibly important.
After all, it was here that the Lord of Stars and the War Goddess had once slept.
If the origin of this dimension was connected to The Celestial, and if the world's existence began after The Celestial's birth, then the Demon Abyss existed like a giant void, meant to devour and bury everything in the world.
This was just Owen's previous speculation. Now that he was truly deep within the Demon Abyss, Owen could confirm that this place was indeed unusual.
His celestial god's mental perception, now close to the center of the Abyss, was already distorted.
This place definitely had some terrifying existence!
As Owen gazed into the deepest part of the Demon Abyss, Rachel followed his gaze.
As the progenitor of succubi in this age, she sensed a chilling, dangerous energy from here! "Owen, this place is dangerous!"
Rachel looked at Owen seriously, her body tensed, not daring to be careless.
Owen nodded. Rachel's bloodline was very special, and her instincts were picking up on a
strong sense of danger, which meant this place was indeed dangerous!
Owen then opened the illusionary screen in front of him and accessed the shop.
Now that he had enough Fate Points, it was time to improve his strength.
He had been eyeing the Supreme Order for a long time!
"Would you like to spend 100 million Fate Points to purchase the Perfect Supreme Order?"
The system prompted.
Owen didn't hesitate and confirmed the purchase.
Immediately, the 100 million Fate Points vanished, and countless [Order] symbols surged into his mind, making him feel as though he had just had a spiritual awakening, gaining an unprecedented understanding of Supreme Order!
After taking a moment to absorb it, Owen finally felt confident.
Originally, he had the powerful territory of Light-Dark Seals.
Now, with the perfect Supreme Order, he couldn't even gauge how strong he had become. However, he felt a strong certainty that, at this moment, he could definitely stand up to celestial gods like the God of Light, Lord of Stars, and War Goddess!
As Owen became more settled in his mind, his storage ring suddenly vibrated, and dazzling light burst forth from it.
Owen was stunned and looked at the storage ring. The Pandora's Box, which had been quietly stored there, suddenly began vibrating.
At this, Owen's heart stirred, and he immediately took the Pandora's Box into his hands.
"Pandora's Box..."
Owen's face showed a hint of contemplation.
When the system had rewarded him with this box, he had sensed something unusual about it,
as though it contained some grand secret he hadn't uncovered yet.
He hadn't had the time to open it before, but now, seeing this anomaly, it seemed like the
time had come.
As Owen held the Pandora's Box, Rachel looked at it with some surprise.
From the box, she sensed an extraordinarily special and terrifying energy fluctuation. This energy seemed as if it could destroy the very heavens and earth!
"What is this thing?" Rachel asked cautiously.
Owen didn't answer. Instead, he silently pulled her behind him.
Then, the Flame Sword, which burned with the power to incinerate everything, was tightly gripped in his hand.
The Flame Sword was the key to opening Pandora's Box.
He hadn't had the time or energy before, but now that it was acting up, it was time to open it!
He swung the sword, and it plunged into the keyhole of Pandora's Box.
As the blazing magic sword pierced into the mana core, it fit perfectly with a satisfying click. With a creak, Pandora's Box, which had been closed for who knows how long, slowly opened. As the box opened, the already dim depths of the Demon Abyss seemed to fall into complete darkness, and countless eerie mists poured out from Pandora's Box, spreading throughout
the land!
Once the endless black mist began to spread, Owen's pupils suddenly contracted. In the midst of the mist, he saw a deep, unfathomable black sea.
As his gaze continued deeper, at the farthest part of the black sea, there was a broken island that resembled a fractured skull.
Both Owen and Leslie, upon seeing this scene, felt a chill run through their hearts.
They never imagined that the small wooden box would contain such a scene!
"What's going on?" Rachel looked at Owen.
Owen squinted his eyes. That island shaped like a skull reminded him of the most ancient existence mentioned in the original anime-The Old Ones!
The Old Ones were extremely mysterious, seemingly from before the birth of the dimensions.
Because the anime didn't have enough time to cover them, and the Old Ones were so distant in
time, there was little mention of them.
However, because of the Old Ones' mysterious and unfathomable strength, Owen had a deep impression of them.
He never imagined that he would witness signs of the Old Ones here.
Owen thought seriously, recalling all the information he had about the Old Ones.
Rachel had no understanding of the scene before her.
She only felt an unprecedented sense of mystery, especially when she looked at that shattered
island resembling a skull.
Staring at it, Rachel's eyes started to sting, and blood trickled from the corners of her eyes.
Rachel quickly blinked and turned her head, not daring to continue staring.
As she turned away, she saw Owen deep in thought, so she cautiously asked:
"Owen, do you know this place?"
Owen thought for a moment, his expression more solemn than ever. "If I'm not mistaken, this
should be the legendary ruins of the Old Ones!"
"The Ruins of the Old Ones?" Rachel murmured to herself. She had never heard of this place.
However, she had rarely seen Owen so serious.
Especially when repeating this phrase, Rachel clearly felt that the very world seemed to
tremble slightly.
A strange, oppressive force descended from above, pressing down on her.
Her back began to bend, and the [Order] inside her body started to collapse uncontrollably,
producing a series of "cracking" sounds.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Rachel's expression instantly became horrified.
She was now a celestial god!
Yet, upon uttering the words "Old Ones," it was as though she had angered some unknowable,
terrifying existence. Even the [Order] in her body couldn't withstand the nameless fury.
It seemed that merely uttering Their name was an unforgivable sin!
How terrifying was this "Old One"?
Rachel's heart pounded as she felt an unprecedented pressure.
She tried to resist the overwhelming force, but all her attempts were useless.
Her body uncontrollably crumpled, as if it was being squashed like dough...
