The summoned fish monsters quickly tackled the beauty puppet to the ground.
Soon, the puppet was torn into a lump of non-human scrap. Bogula laughed maniacally and snapped his fingers. The puppet exploded to pieces under an unknown force.
Next, dozens of beauty puppets appeared around Bogula.
At the same time, various fish monsters summoned by Sliv also swam around.
A fight was imminent.
“Strange. The world’s consciousness isn’t reacting? The summoning spell already ruptured the space, it should have done something by now,” commented Lady Danae. She had gained some distance before she turned back to look.
All the people who were escaping stopped and looked back.
Lady Danae was right. Someone used such strong spells and the world’s consciousness completely disregarded it.
Someone spoke out, “Look, the vortex is disappearing faster!”
That was not all. People could sense that the power of origin was decreasing drastically as well.
What was going on? Nobody knew. The Path of Infinity was vanishing, the origin power was fading, and the world’s consciousness was non-responsive. Nothing made sense!
Lady Danae suddenly felt the “origin” moving somewhere else.
She closed her eyes in puzzlement and released her own spell ripples. Soon, she reopened eyes and dashed to Sliv, ignoring the fish monsters nearby.
“What have you done in the waterfalls?” She demanded.
Her abrupt question surprised Sliv. Why would they keep asking him about the waterfalls? Could Sunders have something to do with this?
“What do you mean? I didn’t do nothing,” Sliv refused to spill.
Lady Danae was not convinced and she asked, “Oh yeah? Then tell me this, where did Sunders and Flora go?”
“How should I know??”
“You don’t know? Then why did Sunders disappear? Don’t you see the origin energy is flowing to Flora’s spell?!”
That surprised Sliv again.
People began to sense the origin energy. Yes, all energy was rushing to one spot.
If observed using wizardry sight, people would see a strange gap in the space at an inconspicuous spot drawing origin energy like crazy.
With the situation revealed and everyone was demanding an answer, Sliv finally spoke the truth. Part of it.
He omitted everything about Crow. He only said he was using a special trick to force Sunders into handing over the Fragments of Eternity. He failed, and Sunders left by teleportation.
There were many problems with his explanation with the biggest one being Sliv’s strength. Sliv was someone way weaker than Sunders, so how did he actually force Sunders to escape?
They did not buy it. However, Sliv insisted.
No matter what really happened, people were more interested in the fact that Sunders opened a strange rupture and escaped through it. The rupture caused the origin power to leave, and the ultimate reason why all of these things happened, was Sliv, who plotted to seize the fragments to satisfy his own greed.
People gazed at him in anger. Even the wizards from Song of the Deep kept their distance. Sliv did not know if his situation could get worse now.
It did.
The strange rupture was drawing origin energy quickly. It took a long time and when the process finished and the rupture disappeared, the plane fusion failed.
A plane fusion was a double-edged sword for the wizarding world. The world’s consciousness used lots of origin power. Even if the fusion was successful, the power was still lost. The world’s consciousness acted like a scale. It absolutely would not allow its own world to suffer any loss. The scale should at least be balanced. This time, the consciousness decided to stop the fusion to maintain balance. Thus, the entrance to the other plane was cast away into the void, never to be found again…
