Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

"Could it be that… I wasn't tricked?"

Brenna thought to herself.

If something unusual happens, of course there is a reason. Brenna did not believe that a normal rift could block a Demigod's senses.

Just to be sure, Brenna raised her hand, the purple smoke pouring from her sleeve condensing into the shape of a crow.

"Go, see if there's any danger down there."

Brenna commanded, and immediately after that the crow rushed down into the crack. As soon as the crow was swallowed by the darkness of the rift, Brenna also lost contact with the crow.

That means the crow has been destroyed.

This made Brenna think of something, which was magic.

"If that's the case then... what he said could very well be the truth!"

Brenna became extremely excited. She carefully reviewed the information inside the card and discovered that what was written inside was exactly the same as what she was experiencing at that time.

Below that crack is filled with a deadly magic, which is why this place has not been discovered by anyone or anything. In addition, it has the ability to block Demigod's senses, fearing that all those who accidentally fell into the crack have disappeared silently.

"God level magic..."

Brenna gulped softly.

If she hadn't carefully used the crow to spy in advance, I'm afraid that this remote area would have buried another Demigod today.

The world is built and connected by countless "threads", every aspect, every matter, every energy, even space-time is the same. All are woven together to form the "Network". Something that's also known by a more understandable name.

The Law of Everything.

If you compare Source to the heart, then the Network is the blood vessels flowing throughout the body.

The heart maintains the circulation of blood vessels so that blood vessels can maintain the transportation of the body. The same goes for Sources and Networks.

And magic, is the way in which small, inanimate beings try to simulate the operation of the Law of Everything, thereby imposing their own laws on reality to achieve the results they desire. 

This simulation, however, is not perfect.

Over time, the magic will gradually wear out, the laws will gradually dissolve and reveal more flaws. God level magic is very powerful, but still cannot escape this outcome.

In the card that Noir gave Brenna, there was a clear note about the hole so she could enter without taking any damage.

Brenna was highly concentrated, she did not dare to make any wrong move. Because if she moved even one inch wrong, she would immediately be crushed by God-level magic.

Finally, Brenna entered the rift.

Almost immediately, the incredible pressure collapsed, making Brenna think she had failed. Luckily, this only caused her to fall to the bottom of the crack.

Brenna raised her head, and what met her eyes was an extremely horrifying scene.

A lot of skeletons are scattered here. The strength of these people was high or low. From the remaining mana, Brenna could even see that there were powerful Demigods that were no less powerful than her, or even stronger.

It's just that everything has become a pile of inanimate bones.

It seemed like the magic had stripped them of all their souls and powers. Causes the physical body to no longer maintain its existence and gradually disappear over time. The blood and flesh had dried and turned to dust, leaving only a pile of dry bones.

"I... I... I'm rich!"

Brenna was crazy happy.

She quickly walked around, saw any weapons or items scattered on the ground, and immediately collected them. Although these things are quite old, their value has not decreased much. Putting it all together, she might be able to get a few Demigod-class items.

Even if the item or weapon is damaged, the materials used to make them are still a treasure.

This place seems to have existed a long time ago, and the amount of "treasures" accumulated here is not a small number.

Brenna secretly calculated, she discovered that not only did she not lose money, but she could also make a profit.

Even though Brenna couldn't become a God this time, just owning all these derelict assets would make Brenna happy.

Brenna even began to imagine the future.

Becoming a God is no longer Brenna's final goal, she also wants to go further, further.

"As long as I constantly collect resources and constantly buy information from that store, even becoming Above God is no longer a fantasy."

Brenna said longingly.

According to the information inside the card that Noir gave. This is just the first layer of magic.

There is still a second layer, a third layer.

The second layer is where Brenna can erase the curse from her twin sister. And within the third layer is Brenna's opportunity to break the barrier between Demigod and the God level.

After collecting quite a few items, Brenna started moving towards the second layer.

Magic had separated the two layers, so Brenna was forced to follow the instructions from the card.

However, this time she wasn't so lucky.

Brenna made a mistake, a very small mistake, but it also caused the witch to almost not be able to preserve her life.

Only columns of red energy could be seen rising, creating intense ripples in space. The strength of those energy columns made Brenna tremble.

This is absolutely magic performed using God Force.

Even God level people can get injured if they are not careful. As for Demigod, if caught, death is certain.

The power of this magic at its peak must have been at least at the top of God level. Therefore, after such a long period of erosion, it still has God-level power.

This makes Brenna greedy. If she has this magic in her hand, after becoming a God she can become stronger.

But she just thought for a moment, because now is not a good time to focus on that.

If she was still a Demigod, no matter how many God-level spells she possessed, they would have no use other than collection.

Brenna entered the second layer.

There are no corpses here, but on the ground and on the cliffs, there are many different types of plants growing. Seeing this, Brenna almost went crazy once again.
