Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 617: Chapter 552: The One Ring Chapter 617: Chapter 552: The One Ring Tao Yu looked at the ring on the table and felt a strong urge to grab it and flee.

With his strength, it seemed not entirely impossible.

However, the several presences that locked onto him almost simultaneously made him temporarily discard the idea.

Right now, Saruman, Elrond, and Gandalf were all focusing their attention on him.

If he did anything at that moment, he would probably invite their joint retaliation immediately.

Since they dared to bring out such a thing and place it openly, they must have been confident in controlling the situation!

“Actually, Saruman also desires The One Ring…”

Tao Yu knew that these people had differing thoughts.

The stronger a person was, the more susceptible they were to The One Ring’s influence, and they all harbored a fear toward it.

Although Saruman was a Maiar like Sauron and had formed an alliance with him, he was not Sauron’s subordinate.

He harbored ambitions to unify Middle-earth.

“Actually, we Pioneers possess a sort of identifying ability; perhaps you could let me touch it to understand the effects of this ring.”

Tao Yu tentatively said.

“Pioneer, this is a ring that beguiles the heart; the stronger one is, the more they are beguiled.

We will not touch it.”

Elrond warned.

“Ah, coincidentally, we Pioneers have always needed to resist pollution, so I do have some confidence in this regard.”

Tao Yu had just finished speaking when he saw Elrond’s gaze turn towards the Alien Dragon lying on the nearby square.

Riding such a thing and then saying he had confidence in resisting pollution?

He didn’t believe it…

“Since this thing is so wicked, let’s destroy it.”

The bearded Dwarf previously mentioned.

“We were thinking the same.”

Right after Elrond finished speaking, the bearded Dwarf Gimli took out his axe.

“That makes it easier.”

He then swung his axe fiercely towards The One Ring.

Under that terrifying muscular strength, Tao Yu also felt a considerable force.

The air was distorted by the axe, then bang—

The whole axe shattered, and Gimli stumbled back four or five steps due to the loss of control over his strength, each step cracking the rocky ground.

In terms of sheer strength, this Dwarf was even stronger than Boromir.

However, despite the heaviness of his axe blow, not even a scratch was left on the surface of The One Ring.

The One Ring was forged in Mount Doom, and to destroy it, one must throw it into Mount Doom,” Elrond explained.

Mount Doom was Sauron’s lair, causing the representatives present to look at each other in dismay.

Who would go?

That task was too dangerous!

“Mount Doom, that’s way too far.”

“And there will definitely be pursuits and interceptions.”

“This, staying with the ring too long, it could influence you, right?”

“Who will go?”

“…”

The crowd grew increasingly tense, speaking one after another, and the atmosphere became fraught with nervous tension.

With the abilities of the Instigator and Plotter, Tao Yu keenly sensed the shift in the atmosphere and then glanced at the ring.

This thing had its own consciousness!

And it was definitely the kind that the Instigator and Plotter would relish.

Tao Yu could feel that kind of intangible atmospheric influence.

Without using words, merely by being present, it created such an effect.

Indeed, it was a powerful thing.

“Um…”

Tao Yu wanted to say ‘I’ll go,’ but he quickly turned his head and glanced to the side.

He saw the stream in the Misty Valley suddenly become turbulent, and then the water gathered forming a stunningly beautiful figure that appeared and slowly drifted onto the high platform.

The newcomer, with blonde hair and white clothes, had a graceful figure as if she had stepped out of a painting, ethereal and not of this world.

“Enough!

We haven’t even started, and already you quarrel.

What a disgrace.”

Her voice seemed to contain some kind of Magical Power.

Tao Yu also faintly felt a sensation similar to Word Spirit, his eyes brightening slightly.

And the others were seemingly calmed down by her influence.

They turned to look at her.

Even rough individuals like Ai and Kirabi were momentarily dazed.

The appearance of someone from the Elven Race was indeed remarkably striking.

The lord of Misty Valley was Elrond, but Galadriel was his mother-in-law, which naturally made Elrond rather cautious, so he slightly bowed in greeting.

At that moment, Galadriel also cast her gaze upon the Magic Ring on the table.

As the most powerful elf in Middle-earth, the stronger her power, the more she was affected by The One Ring.

Even though she held the Ring of Water, and the Three Rings of the Elves had not involved Sauron in their making,

her eyes were still intensely fixed on that one Magic Ring.

She did not avoid it like others did, but walked over forthrightly and picked up The One Ring directly.

This unexpected action left Tao Yu somewhat startled.

Then he felt a terrifying aura suddenly emanating from Galadriel.

The scene before his eyes seemed to blur.

In an instant, everything darkened with the sound of thunder from the clouds, and the entire sky above Misty Valley was covered with dense clouds.

And everyone else looked at this beautiful elven lady with a somewhat shocked expression.

Galadriel’s demeanor had suddenly changed, her previous sanctity turned into a seductive allure, like a supreme queen, whose chilling presence weighed on everyone’s minds,

“Middle-earth is about to welcome a new queen endowed with wisdom, beauty, and power…”

With her words that seemed like a Word Spirit, coupled with the current celestial phenomena and her terrifying aura, there truly was a feeling that compelled others to submit.

The little dwarf who had previously chopped the ring off simply thudded to the ground, genuinely showing submission.

Even Tao Yu’s expression looked rather unpleasant.

What the hell?

How do you even fight this?

Would it take unleashing the Natural Power…

There were faint sounds of chains breaking from Tao Yu’s body.

However, the next moment, the clouds in the sky abruptly scattered, and in an instant, it was clear skies again!

And Galadriel, who had been under a dark influence, gradually returned to her normal state, then struggled to remove the ring from her hand, placed it back on the table, and staggered back a few steps, slowly exhaling,

“I can’t suppress its temptation forever, the more powerful one is, the easier it is to be tempted by the power and lose oneself in it.”

With just that one display, everyone on the scene became as quiet as babies.

Even Saruman, the leader of the White Council, felt wary in his heart.

“That’s already very impressive; I wouldn’t dare touch it myself,” said Gandalf, wearing a grey robe, with a chuckle.

To some extent, it’s only the Hobbits who can easily counteract the Magic Ring.

The creature Gollum had held the Magic Ring for five hundred years since fishing it out from the river, and Bilbo had held the Magic Ring for several decades, ultimately it would be Frodo who’d destroy the Magic Ring.

It could be said that the Magic Ring’s entire existence was ruined by the hands of Hobbits.

However, because of Galadriel’s appearance and her prior behavior, all attention at the scene was diverted to her.

Even those who had been surreptitiously watching Tao Yu did the same.

Considering how terrifying the initial scene was.

Yet, it was at this moment, Tao Yu also naturally touched the Magic Ring on the table and placed it on his finger.

As soon as he wore it, the atmosphere at the scene became tense once again.

Here we go again?

“Pioneer, put down the Magic Ring.”

“If you’ve been beguiled, then we’ll help you put it down,” Elrond said gravely.

“No, no, no, I just wanted to help everyone, I have a high resistance to these things due to my special constitution,”

Tao Yu slowly took off the Magic Ring and placed it back on the table.

This seemingly nonchalant action truly left everyone at the scene slightly astonished.

That simple?

Hobbits could simply do such an action because they are weaker.

But the one in front of them was not weak at all.

He was the one who rode that Flying Dragon!

Could he really resist the temptation of the Magic Ring as he claimed?

And Tao Yu setting down the Magic Ring so easily, was not just because there were too many tricky individuals around, he had also come to understand the properties of the Magic Ring…

[The One Ring]: The chief of all rings, encapsulating the full power of a Maiar, containing extreme Pollution, restricted to the original master, or can find other uses.

Tao Yu had vaguely felt that it contained all the power of a Maiar.

The total power of The One Ring could almost compare with his own power, considering even the unassimilated power of the three Sequence Two combined with the Primordial Source after Deification!

No wonder Sauron became so strong with the Magic Ring; it essentially acted as a power amplifier, enabling him to use more Maiar power!

Inferring from this, Saruman, Gandalf, and the Flame Demon pushed to their limits should also be able to unleash similar powers.

The representatives of power among the Elves don’t compare to Maiar, but they also have no corresponding limitations.

“I thought it was the Heart of the World at first, restricted to the original master…, no more Aman State, the Maiar will die if killed…”

Tao Yu’s eyes seemed rather deep.

Killing the original master, sealing them, then turning them into Shadow Soldiers for Grazing, would that then allow him to pry into the power of the Magic Ring?

Naturally evil Sauron…
