Crossing the World of Warcraft: I am an Ancient God

"You don't know?" Winali looked at Yun in disbelief, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "I... I don't know him." Yun was about to explain how he could possibly know the man named Saliquiel, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly became stammering, and finally just softened.

"You don't know Saliquiel?" Zorval also showed a surprised expression, his voice full of confusion and puzzlement, "How is this possible?"

Yun quickly waved his hands and said innocently, "I really don't know him. I'm also confused as to why you think it was this...Saliquiel who attacked you?"

Zoval frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Yun's answer. He pressed on, "Then who do you think ambushed me?"

Yun quickly evaded the question, "I don't know, that's why I'm asking you. You're an Eternal. Someone who can sneak attack you and even dress up like you must be something special. I'm very curious about him, and it would be great if I could get some guidance from you."

However, Zoval was obviously not so easily fooled. He sneered and said, "Haha, okay, let's not talk about him." Although he did not continue to ask, it was obvious from his expression and tone that he did not believe Yun's answer.

Yun felt somewhat helpless. He knew he had been exposed. After all, those who could wield chaos energy were rare. Zoval would never believe him if he said there was no connection between them. However, Yun knew Zoval wouldn't believe anything he said. He only needed to come up with one answer. Zoval clearly didn't want to push him too hard, so he decided to drop the topic for now.

"Master, I'm in so much pain..." The voice of the Rune Carver kept echoing in Yun's ears, but Yun no longer had any sympathy for him. He walked straight towards the pile of upgraded equipment without hesitation, as if he had not heard the Rune Carver's pleas at all.

Including the Redemption Breastplate, Yun had successfully completed a total of five pieces of Redemption gear: the Redemption Wristguards, Redemption Shoulderguards, Redemption Gauntlets, and Redemption Boots. While the stats weren't quite enough for a full six-piece set, the damage bonuses from these four pieces were already considerable. Yun quickly donned these pieces, pairing them with the Judgment half-set. While they looked a bit out of place, at this crucial moment, the stat boosts were paramount.

"This equipment..." Zoval on the side obviously noticed the changes in Yun. His eyes were fixed on Yun, revealing a hint of envy.

Yun naturally understood what Zoval was thinking. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. He said, "This guy has been here all the time. When you need help, you can come to him for help."

Yun knew very well that he couldn't take the Rune Carver away, and he didn't want Zoval to destroy the poor guy. Therefore, letting Zoval know the use of the Rune Carver was undoubtedly the best solution at the moment.

"Alright, let's go up this time." Yun said, and without hesitation, he turned and left the Rune Carver's chamber, not even glancing back. The door, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened behind him, leaving a narrow gap, as if silently watching his departure.

However, just as Yun was about to step onto the stairs, Zoval suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a moment."

Yun stopped walking when he heard the voice, but he didn't ask Zoval what he was going to do. He just stood there quietly, waiting patiently. Time passed by, and Yun stood there motionless for a long time until Zoval finally spoke again and said, "You can go now."

Yun then breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and walked into the tower.

The atmosphere inside the tower was completely different from the Sanctuary of Domination, giving off a gloomy and oppressive feeling. The light was dim, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench. The torches on the walls flickered, making occasional crackling sounds, as if they would go out at any moment.

Yun walked cautiously, feeling a growing sense of wonder. Not only were there no monsters here, but the surroundings were incredibly eerie, like a location specifically designed for horror films. Occasionally, a few shrill screams or howls would be heard, standing out in the silence and adding to the terrifying atmosphere.

Yun couldn't help but think of his previous dungeon experience. Although there were many monsters to deal with back then, at least they weren't as creepy as they were now. He secretly thanked himself for the monsters in the dungeon distracting him, otherwise he would have been scared away by the terrifying atmosphere.

"Why don't I see anyone?" Yun couldn't help but mutter to himself. His voice echoed in the empty tower, sounding a little weird.

"It's normal not to see anyone. Ever since Lord Zoval, oh no, it should be said that fake Zoval no longer managed this place, many people here began to act as they please according to their own temperament. Naturally, various conflicts followed. Their way of resolving conflicts is quite special, which is to let their men fight each other. In order to make the fight more intense and cruel, they often create some extremely terrifying guys to join the battle." Winali explained in detail.

Zoval nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, this is where their men fought?"

Upon hearing this, Yun couldn't help but smile helplessly. "Then wouldn't we..." He pondered to himself. With his now formidable strength, he didn't really care about these small bosses' subordinates. However, his most pressing task now was to find his subordinates as quickly as possible. After all, if their souls or consciousness were exploited by others, then his entire journey would be in vain.

As if to verify Yun's words, a sudden, extremely dull sound rolled in from the distance. It was like thunder, deafening and terrifying. Not only was the sound dull, but it was also accompanied by a tremendous sense of oppression, like a mountain pressing down on Yun, which even surprised him.

"What's that sound?" Yun turned to look at Zoval in astonishment and asked anxiously.

Zoval's expression was equally solemn. He shook his head and replied, "I don't know either, but this voice is unusually hollow. I'm afraid it contains the power of the lower abyss."

"The power of the lower abyss? What is that?" Yun was bewildered, completely baffled by this unfamiliar term. He sighed helplessly and complained, "Can't there be fewer terms like this that I don't understand? It's so tiring to keep hearing these weird things!"

Seeing this, Zoval quickly explained, "The power of the Lower Abyss isn't anything special. It's simply a spatial force created specifically for this place. However, this space connects to the lowest depths of the abyss beneath the Devouring Abyss. It's pitch black there, devoid of any light, and almost no energy reaction. Once a soul enters that place, even I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to retrieve it."

"So, this guy up here is definitely going to send us to that so-called lower abyss? And then we'll just have to wait for death there?" Yun said, eyes wide open, a look of astonishment on his face. He hadn't expected such a ruthless person to show up at this critical moment.

"Well, you must be careful." Zoval warned solemnly, a hint of worry in his voice.

"Is there no other way? How can I prevent it? Is there anything special about this move that could be recognized?" Yun frowned, his unease growing stronger. This strange move was truly perverse. It was like the moment in a game where the opponent was invincible, and no matter how powerful my equipment was, I couldn't do any damage to them.

"I don't know either. After all, I have never seen it." Zoval said helplessly.

"What's the point of having you!" Yun finally lost control of his temper, his dissatisfaction and disappointment flooding his heart like a tide. This guy, known as the Lord of the Devouring Abyss, was so incompetent at the critical moment, which made Yun extremely angry.

"System, does what Zoval said really exist?" Yun asked suspiciously, his heart filled with anxiety and confusion.

The system immediately gave a positive response: "Yes, this kind of energy does exist. The strange object in front has this kind of energy."

Yun's expression became even more solemn. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and thought to himself, "As expected, the guy in front of me actually possesses this terrifying power!"

Yun hurriedly asked, "Then is there any way I can deal with this energy?" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

The system's answer disappointed him greatly: "We currently don't know the specific countermeasures, but we can detect that there is a transmission channel leading to the lower abyss in his body."

Yun frowned tightly, various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then he asked: "What if I reach the lower abyss, is there any way to come back?" This question is what he is most worried about.

The system's answer was cold and ruthless: "It's impossible to know. The system cannot detect the specific situation in the lower abyss."

Yun's mood grew heavier, as if a heavy burden had been placed upon him. Unwillingly, he continued to ask, "Can the system give us a rough guess?"

The system was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "There is a 99% chance that the system will fail upon reaching the lower abyss."

Yun's face instantly turned pale as paper. He stared at the system with wide eyes in disbelief, muttering to himself, "What about the remaining 1%?"

The system's voice remained calm: "Since we haven't actually tested it, we can't make a 100% judgment."

Yun's mind suddenly went blank. He had never imagined that this mere 1% was simply because he couldn't be too confident! This meant the system was almost certain that if he fell into that lower abyss, he would have no choice but to rely on himself.

"System, how can I deal with this... strange body in front of me?" There was a hint of despair in Yun's voice, and he continued to ask anxiously.

The system's answer made him feel even more depressed: "Special fusion creatures have three mutation states. The system cannot analyze their combat power."

Yun's hopes were instantly dashed. He had hoped the system would offer some coping strategies, but now it seemed the system only told him the difficulties without offering any solutions. Worse still, the system explicitly stated that there were unprecedented variations, leaving him feeling more helpless than ever.

"Summon the devil." With no other options left, Yun decided to try the last resort - summoning the devil to test the strength of this strange creature.

However, the system's response was like a bucket of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing his last glimmer of hope: "The Shadow Realm is a world of the dead, and no living creatures can be summoned."

Yun was completely speechless at this point. He couldn't help but start to wonder, was he really going to have to face this mysterious and powerful entity himself? What if something unexpected happened? Wouldn't all his hard work to become so powerful be in vain?

"Ah! It hurts!" A low scream was heard.

Yun rolled his eyes at the sound. Was it really necessary to be so perfunctory? The Carver had said so, and now this strange entity in front was calling it that too. Wasn't that a bit novel?

In the blink of an eye, a jaw-dropping sight unfolded before their eyes—a massive figure, like a ghost, slowly emerged from the void. This figure was immense, its body translucent, as if formed from condensed smoke. Its overall shape resembled a human, but it lacked lower limbs, floating strangely and abruptly in the air.

Even more bizarre was the fact that this gigantic figure was wearing a cage-like armor, composed of interwoven pale blue iron bars, each emitting strange white smoke, as if corroded by some sinister force.

"What kind of monster is this?" Yun widened his eyes and looked at the strange guy in front of him in astonishment, with an indescribable fear in his heart.

Winali, standing by, was also shocked. She carefully observed the giant figure and murmured, "It looks a bit like a giant monster, but it has no lower body, and its upper body is somewhat transparent. It's really weird."

There was obvious anger in Zoval's voice. "This is a fusion of a giant monster and a green ghost! What the hell are these guys doing?"

Faced with this ever-approaching threat, Yun's anxiety grew. He stared intently at the massive creature drifting towards him, a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead. Although he wanted to engage immediately, facing such a treacherous foe, he hesitated to act rashly, fearing he would be sent to the lower abyss if he wasn't careful.
