My different world is game mode.

"Unless we encounter some unprecedented natural phenomenon."

"Otherwise, I guess this is the place."

Lindsay nodded slightly, then her gaze shifted to the equipment slots:

"Come on, let's try the Adventure Pointer first!"

He took out the [Ecosystem Radar], checked the direction himself, and then tossed it to Wala Wala beside him.

"Change their positions and see where the pointer is pointing."

Wala Wala confirmed:

"Is the ultimate goal, the final battlefield, or this vortex?"

"Try them all."

Lindsay answered while stowing up the anchor.

Guided by Wala Wala's perspective, the two began to sail and explore around the edge of the whirlpool.

Ordinary awakened beings encounter the current situation.

It will take some effort to figure out the reason.

But Lindsay and Wala Wala have plenty of tricks up their sleeves.

While confirming the direction of the pointer on the ship, they each activated their reconnaissance skills and gathered information from their respective perspectives.

Lindsay:

The Sea of ​​Lost Souls—a sea teeming with the power of life and death, the legendary end of the world.

[Seawater—the seawater that draws people into slumber; the closer one gets to the seabed, the stronger the power of the water becomes.]

[Nighttime—After the sun sets, the sea temperature is dropping rapidly, but this will not bother the awakened.]

Walla Walla:

The Sea of ​​Lost Souls—a sea teeming with the power of life and death, the legendary end of the world.

[The Vortex of the End—a passage from the Sea of ​​Lost Souls to the real universe.]

[The winds of chaos—the forces of life and death intertwine here, drawing outsiders into a vortex.]

"..."

The previous problem was...

What is the operating principle of the vortex in front of us?

How did it determine and guide people into this place?

With the relevant information now in hand, Lindsay and her partner immediately began piecing together the clues.

slam-la-

The world they were in had fallen from dusk into night, with only the sound of cold water coming from the sea.

After they combined the information, the mystery was finally solved.

【The Vortex of the End - A massive vortex located to the west of the 【Sea of ​​Lost Paths】, which transmits the power of the source matter into reality; because it is shrouded in the power of concepts, it cannot be entered by conventional methods; those with strong will will be actively drawn into it.

Note:

The whirlpool is extremely dangerous.

Anything caught unprepared, once it enters, will be utterly shattered by the chaotic power of life and death intersecting, transforming into pure primordial matter.

"..."

“A strong will.” Lindsay looked at Varawara. “We have the same goal, so…aren’t you hiding something else?”

The girl scratched her cheek with her index finger, her tone a little embarrassed:

"Well, maybe it's just a professional habit? I'm actually kind of looking forward to encountering something new and interesting?"

"..."

Lindsay shrugged, both amused and exasperated.

"That's a good thing, too."

"After all, if there hadn't been such a thing, it would probably have taken us a lot of time to find this vortex."

At this moment, information about the End Vortex has been obtained.

It wouldn't be a big problem for Lindsay to get in, after all, he is also a holder of the Willpower Source.

"Vortex, intense will..."

Lindsay closed her eyes slightly.

Although his willpower quality is not as good as his life quality, it has already reached the level of an advanced awakened being.

The process of will and source matter beginning to merge.

Therefore, as long as the source essence is mobilized, a powerful will will naturally emerge in the mind.

call--

Soon, amidst the sea breeze that passed by Lindsay's ears, he heard the gradually emerging sound of waves.

He waited a few more seconds and then opened his eyes.

Although the seawater in front of us was shrouded in darkness, a violent whirlpool was already visible.

Due to the curvature of the sea, Lindsay could only see the edge of the whirlpool within a field of vision of about 5 kilometers.

Beneath the dark surface of the sea, a dangerous beast seemed to lurk, poised to devour everything on its surface.

Wala Wala saw Lindsay open her eyes:

"Well, you saw it too?"

Lindsay nodded:

"Yes, we've arrived."

“At times like this, willpower is still the most useful,” Wala Wala remarked, then got to the point, “Should we take the initiative to help him gather his physical essence?”

Lindsay didn't immediately agree; instead, she shook her head.

"No rush, let's create some conditions before the battle."

"This [Sea of ​​Lost Souls] is ultimately not suitable for us normal people to engage in activities."

"Moreover, the power of life and death may very well be exploited by the Abyss School."

As she said this, Lindsay took a wooden board out of her bag:

"It might be destroyed in battle, but it's better to have something than nothing."

"Come on, let's build a platform first."

Right in front of Wala Wala, Lindsay used the ship's planks as a foundation to build a wooden pillar. Once the wooden blocks had accumulated to a height of about 6 meters, he took out his meteorite pickaxe and knocked down the supporting wooden blocks below.

thump--

The wooden blocks below scattered and rolled all over the ground.

However, the top few wooden blocks in mid-air did not fall due to the loss of support; they simply floated in the air, defying the laws of physics.

"..."

"[Architecture and Materials Science]?"

Wala Wala paused for a moment, then, remembering what kind of skill this was, chuckled to herself.

"Gamer".

"This kind of skill is clearly the privilege of craftsmen; it's really exaggerated."

As soon as the words were spoken, Wala Wala also asked Lindsay for module seeds. The two distributed the resources and together assembled their battle platform in the air.

Between the darkness and the churning sea, brown wooden planks stretched forward, forming a long corridor.

Beneath their feet, the whirlpool of the end churned with ever more turbulent water.

But it is precisely because of the existence of this vortex that the sea level has sunk downwards.

Even when waves occasionally rise, Lindsay and Wala Wala, floating more than 5 meters above the normal water level, will still come into contact with the waves below.

Only the sea breeze that brushed against them carried the chaotic energy of the surrounding area to their bodies, reminding them of the danger of this environment.

The platform was laid out all the way forward.

A few minutes later, while building the platform, Lindsay habitually scouted the surroundings.

His expression froze:

"what?"

"Wah wah wah, look at the map!"

Upon hearing Lindsay's reminder, the girl snapped out of her focused state.

She switched modules and opened the map.

They then noticed that, without them realizing it, scattered yellow markers had appeared in the seawater directly below them.

"Someone's there? Neutral stance? What's down there?"

The girl peeked her head out from the edge of the wooden walkway.

The night was pitch black, and the sea was turbulent.

But thanks to the artist's keen observation skills, Wala Wala's gaze pierced through the thick darkness and successfully saw beneath the sea.

They were illusory figures drifting along the swirling water, with hands and feet, vaguely resembling human figures.

Drawn by the primordial tide, they converged towards the center of the vortex, barely making a sound themselves.

Wala Wala looked at Lindsay in surprise.

Lindsay, who had discovered the location first and completed her reconnaissance, pointed to the seawater and explained in a low voice:

"see it?"

"These are the souls that slumber in the Sea of ​​Lost Souls, and they are flowing into the End."
