#275 - Chapter 275: Fragments of the Sea of Mind and Whispers
“Krasus' Ambition…”
After countless terrifying thoughts vanished, Wu Wei finally returned to normal.
However, after confirming the attributes of the equipment, Wu Wei did not immediately equip it, but carefully placed it aside.
After all, the terrifying imagery displayed by this equipment earlier did make him feel somewhat apprehensive.
He was afraid that after equipping it, he would transform into a "beast" in front of the Fallen Angel.
Of course, his fear wasn't about doing something beastly.
What he truly feared was that his beastly behavior would be easily stopped and then mocked by the Fallen Angel, Liz.
After all, there was a slight difference in their strength and agility.
But at this moment, the Fallen Angel Liz's voice came from behind Wu Wei.
“Oh? You actually obtained Krasus' Ambition!”
Hearing this, Wu Wei turned his head and asked the Fallen Angel beside him.
“Wait, you know this equipment?”
“Of course!”
Liz said affirmatively.
“But… I've only seen partial records of this equipment in books!”
“This is the first time I've seen its actual form.”
Unlike Wu Wei, the cautious and death-fearing Fallen Angel Liz did not reach out to touch the equipment.
In fact, this was the behavior expected of all Abyss creatures.
After all, in the Abyss, all creatures who couldn't control their curiosity had long turned into piles of white bones.
“Oh? Does this equipment have a remarkable background? Like, who is Krasus?”
“Background… I'm sorry, Lord, this equipment is indeed somewhat mysterious.”
“So mysterious that even I don't quite know the specific details about it.”
Liz smiled.
“However, I know very well who Krasus is.”
“Krasus was an Abyss Apprentice Priest belonging to the Lord of the Abyss, but he was somewhat different from you.”
“Before becoming an Abyss Apprentice Priest, he was an extremely powerful 【God-Favored】 one, and he voluntarily fell into the Endless Abyss.”
“But the powerful him didn't fare well in the Abyss.”
“Because until his death, he never became a true Abyss Priest, but only an Abyss Apprentice Priest.”
“It is said that this is related to the Abyss denying the essence of his soul.”
“And the truly interesting thing is that although Krasus was not liked by the Abyss Mother, he was highly valued by the Lord of the Abyss.”
“So for a long time, he created many strange creations for the Lord of the Abyss's subordinates.”
“These creations included weapons, equipment, and even accessories.”
“The names of these creations were all related to Krasus.”
“And the equipment you just obtained, Krasus' Ambition, is one of Krasus' last works.”
“But as I said before, these last works of Krasus are all relatively mysterious. What kind of role they can play and what kind of abilities they possess are all a mystery!”
“By the way, Lord.”
“Could you explain the abilities of this equipment to me?”
As she said this, Liz's eyes inevitably showed small stars representing desire.
And Wu Wei helplessly satisfied her, using the Heavenly Dao System to transmit the equipment's attributes and abilities into Liz's mind.
“Hmm… oh? I see…”
After reading about the equipment, Liz nodded.
“Lord, I finally understand why you triggered such a big commotion during the sacrifice.”
“It turns out the Abyss Mother was helping you seal off the equipment's 【Despair Prayer】 skill just now.”
“Hehe, judging from this, you are indeed deeply loved by the Abyss Mother.”
Hearing this, Wu Wei looked at Liz somewhat puzzled.
And Liz said with a smile.
“If the Abyss Mother hadn't actively helped you seal off the Despair Prayer skill, you might have just now…”
“Completely fallen!”
“Fallen? What are you talking about?”
“Hehe, Lord.”
“You don't know, contacting and absorbing fragments of other beings' Sea of Souls is a very dangerous thing!~”
“Because fragments of the Sea of Souls represent a living being's experiences, will, and collection of thoughts.”
“They will constantly emit their own whispers.”
“And these whispers can, to some extent, directly contaminate your own will and thoughts!”
“Even, if you come into contact with fragments of the Sea of Souls that do not belong to you without sufficient preparation, you will lightly become a madman, your thoughts will fall into chaos, and heavily you will die directly. Even, in more extreme cases, such as contacting a large number of Sea of Souls fragments in one breath, you may mutate into some indescribable terrifying existence. Believe me, that state is ten thousand times more terrifying than death!”
At this moment, Wu Wei's back was covered in cold sweat.
Because he didn't expect that he had just walked between life and death.
“But you don't have to worry about this problem anymore.”
“Because the Abyss Mother has already helped you seal off this skill~”
Looking at Wu Wei's terrified appearance, Liz smiled very happily.
Because…
She finally recognized some insignificant things through this equipment!
