Chapter 241 Seekers of Knowledge
Chapter 241 Seekers of Knowledge
After being modified by Deadpool using some unknown method, the performance of this spaceship far surpassed all other spaceships in the world. It reached the space node in just half a day.
After a series of space jumps, the spacecraft rushed out of the last space node and landed steadily on an asteroid.
There are chaotic space turbulences in the space nodes. During the crossing process, it will exert great pressure and a sense of weightlessness on the people on the spacecraft. If they are in poor physical condition, they may die.
But for Ronnie, he was just a little dizzy, but as for Deadpool, it had no effect at all.
However, although Owen's physical fitness met the standard, after crossing more than a dozen space nodes in a row, he still felt a churning in his stomach that he could not suppress at all.
Unable to suppress his desire, Owen vomited directly. After that, he looked at Deadpool with a little fear in his eyes.
This is rarely seen on Owen's face, who is always cheerful and smiling.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it, but as soon as you see Deadpool, Owen feels like vomiting again.
Seeing Owen looking uncomfortable, Ronnie sighed, took out a bottle of water and handed it to him, then squatted beside him and patted his back to relieve his discomfort.
"Owen, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Owen gave a miserable smile.
"Master, I'm not... ugh... I'm fine."
"Hey~"
Ronnie sighed and narrowed his eyes dangerously when he looked at Deadpool. Ronnie knew that nothing good would happen if he stayed around such a fool like Deadpool.
After Owen finally suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, he set off again.
It was then that Ronnie and Owen noticed that on this asteroid stood a large castle.
Judging from its style, it doesn't fit in with this world.
"The man I'm talking about lives here."
Deadpool led the way, and in the end he did not forget to tell his father not to complain.
"That person knows a lot, but it's too boring."
As they walked into the castle, a magical purple shadow appeared in front of Ronnie and the others.
"Excuse me, how many people are you?"
Hearing the question, Ronnie also took a step forward.
"Let's look for the owner of this place."
"Understood. Please follow me."
The phantom pointed to the place where the head should be, then floated ahead to lead the way.
After walking for a while, Ronnie and his friends successfully met the owner of this place.
He is nearly three meters tall, a little thin, with gray-purple skin, and is wearing a loose gray academic robe. The most distinctive feature is his head. The part under his chin has long tentacles like an octopus, and he is holding a book and reading it.
"This is... the Mind Flayer?"
Ronnie recognized the race of the man in front of him and guessed that he might be the seeker of knowledge who suddenly came to this world. And judging from his aura, this man was very strong, at least at the supreme level. He was the strongest person Ronnie had ever seen except for the members of the Endless Council.
Just as Ronnie was thinking about this, the Seeker turned around and looked at them, his glowing purple eyes flashing with doubt.
"You are?"
Ronnie came back to his senses after listening to the ethereal, low and unexpectedly pleasant voice.
"Hello, my name is Ulduar, and I would like to ask you if you know the whereabouts of the Primordial Seed."
"Original Seed?"
The seeker repeated it doubtfully, then he remembered what it was, and then he shook his head.
"I do know the location of the Primordial Seed, but I advise you not to go there. That monster has already fused the Primordial Seed."
"Monster?" Ronnie frowned.
Seeing this, the Seeker raised his hand and used magic to condense an illusion.
The illusion shows a dilapidated and desolate dead star. In the center of the dead star, there is a large amount of dark red substance similar to spider silk. In the center of this substance, there is a cocoon several hundred meters in size, which is beating rhythmically like a heartbeat.
The Seeker pointed at the cocoon and said, "I was studying the ancient gods before, and suddenly found that this world had traces of the ancient gods' observation. When I came to this world, I found it."
"This is... a follower of the ancient god?"
The seeker of knowledge was a little surprised to hear Ronnie's words. After all, the ancient gods' followers had different forms, and many people had only heard of them but had never seen them in person. Unexpectedly, Ronnie could recognize them at a glance.
"Yes, this is a follower of an ancient god that has not yet been fully born. The reason why the world has become like this is also because of it. It aroused the emotions of living beings and eventually devoured them."
After the seeker dispelled the illusion, he shook his head slightly.
"I have come into contact with this Ancient God's follower. Although it has normal thinking, it will not communicate with me. However, since there are so few cases of Ancient God's followers being born, I stayed in this world and planned to witness it with my own eyes. The original seed you mentioned had already been swallowed by it when I first observed it, so your idea of obtaining the original seed is not practical."
After hearing this, Ronnie fell silent. He was not sure how to deal with the followers of the ancient gods, even those that had not yet been fully born.
Owen, who was standing aside, looked at the seeker with a serious expression.
“If we solve this problem, will the world be able to return to normal?”
Looking at Owen, a boy who was only in his teens, doubts flashed in the eyes of the seeker of knowledge, but he did not refuse to answer just because Owen was a child.
"That's right, but it's almost impossible to do. Even if it's the Ancient God's followers that haven't been fully born yet, they're not that easy to deal with. And only one out of ten living beings in this world survives. It's impossible to deal with it."
After answering Owen's question, the seeker looked at him curiously.
"Hmm, what a huge force of destiny. It's as if it's carrying the world."
The Seeker stood up and floated towards Owen, looking him over.
"What a special life form. Although you are a normal creature, you are blessed with such a huge force of destiny that you can bear almost everything. Interesting, really interesting."
Curiosity about the unknown flashed in the eyes of the seeker of knowledge, and this curiosity had reached a crazy level.
The seeker's tentacles were seen shaking constantly, and he looked at Owen as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
"Young man, can I study you?"
Originally, the seeker of knowledge had the temperament of a quiet and elegant scholar, but suddenly he turned into a crazy seeker of knowledge, which made Owen subconsciously take a step back and hide behind Ronnie.
As Owen moved, the eyes of those seeking knowledge turned to Ronnie.
I hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that I looked closely, the Seeker's tentacles were shaking even more violently.
"It is not a normal life structure at all. It contains extremely strong chaotic power, and it seems that the chaotic power can continue to evolve. This is incredible. I have only seen such a twisted life form in the classics and in the descriptions of ancient gods."
The seeker of knowledge couldn't help but reach out and touch the scales on Ronnie's body.
"This is the first time I've seen someone so close to an ancient god. And this shouldn't be your true form."
