Chapter 1542: Chapter 733: Continuing the Voyage of the Black Mist Era_5
The journey continues, but the invasion of nocturnal species and eerie creatures hasn’t slowed down for a moment. With ongoing battles, there have also been casualties among the Sports Students.
Even those who have experienced countless battles, not all Sports Students have the potential to break through to become "Fog Nightmare Hunters." Human strength has its limits. Those who were exhausted yet continued to fight eventually shed their blood, becoming sacrifices under the nocturnal species’ invasion.
Not just Sports Students, some Physical Education Teachers have also sacrificed themselves amidst the contamination, and the sacrifice of their comrades led to the Awakening of more Sports Students.
The School Doctor’s battle never ceased for a moment. Her kind eyes were full of compassion, as if she was used to such situations.
Finally, on a certain day, the Astrologer’s eyelashes gently trembled.
"I see the boundary of the Gray Mist Sea," the Astrologer whispered.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi quickly turned to Amon and said, "Amon, is the condition of the Secret Pattern Domain stable?"
His voice immediately overshadowed the howling sea wind, steadily reaching Amon.
"The outer ’Order-Keeping Ring Matrix’ is stable, the middle ’Purification Secret Pattern Matrix’ has sufficient energy, and the inner ’Space-Time Anchor Secret Pattern Matrix’ is synchronized with the Star Dream Crystal, enough to counteract our layer transition’s distortion."
Amon’s somewhat mechanical voice showed no sign of fatigue, and his eyes glowed with fervor. This Layer Boat is one of his proudest designs, well-aware of the control over each matrix.
"Good," Lin Yi nodded.
"Unfold the Star Map!" The Astrologer’s cool voice rang out like ice droplets on cold jade.
She waved her fair hand, and in the Watchtower, star traces intertwined, vaguely forming a Bronze Star Disc beneath the "Star Dream Crystal," as if the two were originally one.
The Star Dream Crystal floated in the center of the Bronze Star Disc, exuding a gentle blue-white glow.
Inside the crystal, countless shadows of stars were slowly circulating, but were occasionally disturbed by wisps of inky mist, making the trajectory of the stars blur.
"Kuai Hongji, calibrate the star map quadrant."
"Mao Feiyang, record the fluctuations of the supernatural traits inside the crystal and be ready to report to me at any time."
The Astrologer’s voice was as cold as ice. Her eyes were tightly shut, her will fully immersed in the Star Dream Crystal, constantly adjusting the star tracks amidst the chaotic layers.
Kuai Hongji then joined the control of the Bronze Star Disc. He and Mao Feiyang projected the somewhat ethereal Star Map Scroll onto the disc, marking the star tracks with utmost caution.
The stars on the star map were moving at an eerie speed, with some stars even disappearing in an instant, reappearing abruptly in another location, as if the entire starry sky was being wantonly manipulated by an invisible hand.
"Damn, the coordinates in the layers are becoming increasingly chaotic. Just now, the boundary of the Gray Mist Sea even appeared with three overlapping shadows," Mao Feiyang could not restrain himself, his pupils splitting into three as the overlapping shadows appeared, "The contamination and erosion are too severe, but... I’ve caught up with the speed of contamination and erosion!"
"Bloody hell, the energy fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger... I understand now! It’s the ’Angel’ fluctuations interfering with the layer quadrants!" Mao Feiyang exclaimed.
The Astrologer did not open her eyes, merely raising her hand slowly, her fingertip lightly touching the Star Dream Crystal. The crystal’s glow surged, instantly dispelling the internal inky mist, temporarily stabilizing the star trajectories on the star map.
"Steady, this is just an ’Angel’ probing at the edge of the Gray Mist Sea."
Her voice remained calm, but her brow behind the golden glasses furrowed tightly. She could feel that in the Gray Mist Sea, the ’Angel’ fluctuations seemed to be converging!
"We are about to reach the boundary. Prepare for transition, and... welcome the ’Angel’ breath’s baptism."
Hearing the Astrologer’s voice, Lin Yi merely nodded subtly, then whispered, "The second stage of the journey... Let’s transition..."
"Understood," everyone responded in unison.
"Matrix separation is in position," Amon’s voice echoed from the ship’s hold. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged at the center of a complex Secret Pattern Array, mechanical gears in his eyes continuously flashing with light, the mechanical fingers of the music box’s arm deftly tracing secret patterns in the air like butterflies among flowers.
With his movements, the ship’s hull’s unstable geometric micro-lights suddenly brightened, forming a layer of transparent energy film as thin as a cicada’s wing yet incredibly resilient—this was the Secret Pattern Domain he had set for the Physical Education Teacher and Sports Students.
As Amon’s Secret Pattern Domain bloomed, the Layer Boat began to tremor violently the next moment. Following that, the entire Layer Boat began its "transition" in a way that defied common sense and cognition.
It was as if the Layer Boat, originally a whole, was cut into countless three-dimensional slices at the map level, each slice seemingly sealed in a solidified time cage.
It resembled a pattern drawn on a membrane, a carefully trimmed paper-cut, with the transitioning part seemingly poked forcefully, causing the whole to stretch and rupture bizarrely.
Yet no matter what, the section of the Layer Boat’s deck, regardless of how many parts it was divided into by the layers, all remained in the black sea segment, while the other parts of the Layer Boat continued its journey...
Soon, the rest of the Layer Boat sailed completely into the black curtain, as if it had never existed.
