Death... and me
chapter-2648

Knowing the direction and having Kentucky, the twins' group quickly moved into the deeper parts of Wonderland. At first, they didn't feel much of a difference in the concentration of Chaos Laws. That showed that this world was quite big on its own merit. However, that began to change gradually.

After just another week of flying and killing the Wonder Beasts on the way, they got to a point where the amount of Chaos Laws was enough for them to finally take a step forward in the Chaos Cultivation.

"Let's stop here for a moment. There is enough Chaos Laws and Energy to merge into our Dantians and Cores," Roan said.

Kentucky landed on a small hill, and everyone jumped from his back to the ground. There, they gathered the Chaos Laws and the little Chaos Energy available around and directed it all into their bodies. This time, however, the next step took a lot longer.

Before, they only took a few minutes to start their Chaos Laws cultivation after Lila's explanation. Now, on the other hand, it took them an entire day to get their Cores and Dantians to match the amount of Chaos Laws and Energy in the surroundings. "This was quite difficulty," Rean couldn't help but comment.

Roan wasn't surprised, though. "If we could achieve a power similar to the Loporrits in that easily, I would feel suspicious instead. This sudden spike in difficulty puts my mind at ease."

Everyone agreed with him before they jumped back on Kentucky's back. "Alright, let's go further until we find enough Chaos Laws and Energy to increase our power."

The twins' group wasn't the only one doing it. As Lavi, the Blue-Furred Loporrit, mentioned, there were other experts who came into the Wonderland with prior knowledge of the location, especially the Semi-Celesitals. Those close to them received instructions before entering this place and were even further into the land than Rean and Roan while going through the same process of absorbing Chaos Laws and Energy into their Cores and Dantians.

Meanwhile, Gragatou was the first one to spot the tower Lotiri mentioned other than Kafan. He looked at it from a distance while controlling the Chaos Laws of the environment to resist their own effects. As a Semi-Celesital, he obviously had a lot of experience manipulating and changing his affinity-related laws, so the special abilities acquired in this Wonderland were quite easy for him to master.

"Hum... the tower is there, just as mentioned in the records. However, there was nothing about what to find inside," he spoke.

Surprisingly, he wasn't alone like others imagined. On his side, one could see Flinyu, the Peak Divinity Realm expert and Gragatou's disciple. "Master, do you think we are the first ones? Perhaps we should get inside fast and acquire any treasure before others get here."

However, Gragatou shook his head. "Did you see the WOnder Beasts on the way?"

Flinyu couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear. Even after learning to master the Chaos Laws to his own use in this place, the Wonder beasts deep in this Wonderland were completely out of his expectations. Physical attacks didn't work. Divine Origin Energy Attacks didn't work. They seemed to be some kind of ethereal existences that could blend with the very foundation of anything he threw at them.

They were definitely several times stronger than the Chaos Beasts the twins found near the entrance. Not to mention, the ones the twins' group defeated could be dealt with through normal attacks. The ones he found here simply couldn't. The only thing that worked against these Wonder Beasts were the Chaos Laws themselves.

Even though Flinyu could now use the Chaos Laws and had merged the Chaos Laws into his Dantian, he was nowhere near what the Loporrits could do; not even Gragatou was at that level. That said, they had to learn on the go how to fuse their attacks with the Chaos Laws and Energy they controlled, and their lack of expertise made it truly difficulty to deal with the Wonderbeasts.

Flinyu then looked at his hand, which seemed to be quite pale... and new. That's because one of these Wonder Beasts touched his hand on the way here. Yes, it only touched. That contact with the ethereal beast changed the very composition of the elements that made Flinyu's hand. It transformed into some kind of jumbled substance, forcing Flinyu to cut it off before it spread to his body.

His cultivation truly meant nothing in the face of the Wonder Beasts. The slightest contact could bring his death... or perhaps he wouldn't die but become something completely different. It was hard to say, but Flinyu definitely had no intention of trying it out. "What about them, Master?"

Gragatou looked at the tower in the distance. It was still very far away. They could only see it because it was gigantic. Nonetheless, it would take them at least another day of full-speed travel to get there. "Your sensibility towards the Chaos Laws still hasn't reached a level compared to what I did, so you can't feel it from here. However, I can. That tower... there are countless of those Wonder Beasts inside, and they seem even stronger than the ones we have fought so far. I became quite sensible to their special type of concentrated Chaos Laws and Energy."

He wasn't wrong. Kafan himself, who had the best knowledge of this place since he was here before, also didn't go to that Tower straight away. After talking to Bunbun and leaving, he continued to kill more Wonder Beasts and merge more Chaos Laws into his core instead of going for the tower. That shows how dangerous the place is.

"Hum?" Suddenly, Gragatou looked in a certain direction. "Hmph! Seems like we aren't the only ones to have made it this far."

A few hundred kilometers away, a white bird stopped in her tracks as she looked in Gragatou's direction. Both parties were too far away to see each other, but they definitely could sense themselves. It was Sophia, the Kuhirira Archangel Beast. "I can't tell who it is, but there is definitely another Semi-Celestial over there..."

It was at that moment that someone else appeared on her side. "Sophia, could it be they know what we are looking for?" If the twins were here, they would immediately identify him. It was Waremis, the leader of the Holamenor Clan.
