Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 644: Chapter 642: Destroying the Sunset Chapter 644: Chapter 642: Destroying the Sunset For Duncan, the “Great Obliteration” had finally ceased to be a completely unknown mystery. Deep within the ancient, massive curtain, the truth at last unveiled a corner to him—the most crucial corner.

It was the “collision” between worlds that had caused the Great Obliteration. The “incompatibility” of different worlds warped the remnants of the collision into the bizarre and perilous Deep Sea Era we see today. The scene lingering in the deepest nightmares of Silantis was a microcosm of that collision.

But it was just a microcosm—the worlds involved in the collision were not limited to just those two.

Duncan could feel that, as he “understood” these truths, some changes were taking place within himself.

Just a moment ago, he even felt as though everything before his eyes dissolved into chaotic, non-existent… colors. In the depths of those colors, he saw the essence of the world, saw them all as faltering starlight, each cluster of light composed of abstract descriptive information;
He also saw that everything was at a slow collapse’s tipping point, their contradicting natures causing them to continuously crumble and re-form in the depths of information. He felt as though he understood the entire world’s true face and had almost found the “sole solution” to all contradictions and imbalances…

But that was only for a moment.

He seemed to be missing something, missing a most critical “parameter.”

Duncan’s reason returned to reality; he blinked and felt as if myriad voices were thundering in his mind. Then, as those thunderings gradually faded, he slowly regained his ability to think.

He had understood the nature of the Great Obliteration, understood how the current Deep Sea Era had formed… But what was that missing “key parameter”? If he had comprehended the truth of the world, what was it that he still did not understand?

Impressions from seeing the world’s true face moments earlier still lingered in Duncan’s mind, driving him to ponder these abstract, challenging questions involuntarily, but soon he forcefully took control of his thoughts and noticed the worried gaze of Lucresia.
