Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 648: Chapter 581: Catastrophe Chapter 648: Chapter 581: Catastrophe “It’s done…”

Watching Tao Yu, his finger radiant with The One Ring, descend from the tower like a king returning to his throne.

Gandalf’s expression also seemed a bit dazed, but at the same time, he maintained the necessary vigilance.

Although the scene when Sauron appeared was grand, it was followed by silence, with no fluctuations of battle whatsoever.

This likely meant they had engaged in a spiritual confrontation!

Even though Gandalf admitted that Tao Yu had a strong will, capable of resisting the corrosion of The One Ring,

how things turned out under Sauron’s coordination with The One Ring launching an active offense was hard to say!

And Tao Yu, clad in a white robe, just glanced at the disheveled Gandalf

“What are you looking at, I am the one in white.”

But after he spoke, Gandalf seemed much more relaxed, hammering his old waist while slowly pulling out his pipe and taking a puff

“It seems things went smoothly.”

“Indeed, it went quite smoothly, he challenged my strongest aspect.”

Though he said it lightly, in Gandalf’s imagination, the two had engaged in a dangerously thrilling spiritual battle, with Tao Yu ultimately triumphing through sheer willpower.

“Do you know what happened to Saruman?”

A pleasant voice spoke, belonging to the beautiful and dignified Elven Lady.

Saruman had killed her husband, a fact she could not set aside.

“Saruman’s physical body was destroyed by me, and after he came here, he was devoured by a maddened Sauron.”

“Sauron has really gone mad?”

The Elven Lady frowned, seemingly puzzled.

She had dealt with Sauron enough times; initially, he had disguised himself so well that he deceived the Elves, a deception she still vividly remembered.

Although earlier in Gondor, she had sensed the madness emanating from Sauron, it could also have been a ruse, and she maintained her skeptical stance.

“He truly has gone mad, likely under the influence of the Abyss.

During our spiritual confrontation, I also learned that he organized defenses on the eastern side of the Land of Darkness to fend off the Burning Legion.”

This revelation startled both Gandalf and the Elven Lady.

The Abyss was indeed unfathomable; it was astonishing that even someone as powerful as Sauron could be driven mad under its influence!

“What should we do now?@@novelbin@@

If the Orcs are holding off the Burning Legion there, perhaps we can use this place as a stronghold for defense.”

Gandalf knew the destiny of Middle-earth was being decided at this moment.

Continuing the fight could possibly lead to a three-way battle; it might be better to let the Orcs take the brunt first.

They might as well fortify themselves at Barad-dûr.

Though deserted, this stronghold, painstakingly constructed by Sauron, was unparalleled in resilience.

Even damage similar to that inflicted upon the Black Gate could be staunchly endured for a few more strikes!

“We could indeed try that, though the environment here is rather dreadful.”

Tao Yu looked towards the perpetually smoke-billowing Mount Doom.

This was the birthplace of The One Ring; now, as its new master, Tao Yu could also faintly sense a connection.

As if something within Mount Doom was calling to him.

Apt indeed for a place that could forge The One Ring.

“I think I might try to dispel the dark clouds in the sky.”

Tao Yu considered for a moment before speaking.

With the abundant volcanic ash here, once the volcanic clouds are cleared and the sunlight pierces through, the land could be very fertile.

Future crops powered by Yuan Force could potentially be cultivated here.

“If you can dispel them, that would be most ideal,”

Gandalf stroked his beard.

“Then I’ll give it a try, I’ll try to make this place self-sufficient…”

Tao Yu spoke while rising into the air, floating above the high tower of Barad-dûr.

He then raised his hands; the ‘Weather Mage’ leveraged the power of Natural Force.

He felt as if he was one with the universe, as though every gesture could generate tremendous force.

Besides, when he was maneuvering the “Weather Mage,” he felt the traits of his own “Witch of Calamity” activate as well.

The “Witch of Calamity” is on the same level as the “Weather Mage,” and similarly manipulates the Natural Power.

However, the “Weather Mage” manipulates like controlling an “army,” where the Force of Nature acts as arrayed soldiers.

The “Witch of Calamity,” on the other hand, steers a different path by guiding disasters.

Originally, witches and hunters are adjacent paths; although one is utterly yin and the other utterly yang, their divergent paths converge and can ultimately merge.

Now that Tao Yu, with the Witch, Hunter, and The Hanged Man as the core, had acquired his unique Primordial Source, the resonance became much simpler.

When Tao Yu began to disperse the clouds above with the authority of the “Weather Mage,” he immediately sensed the fluctuations from nearby Mount Doom resonating with the “Witch of Calamity.”

He felt an impulse like wanting to trim a bump on a cow’s hoof, an itch to act.

He then, almost involuntarily, poked it…

…

Boom~

From the crater of Mount Doom, terrifying molten lava gushed out, together with pitch-black toxic smoke shooting into outer space.

Various semi-molten meteorites, like flowers scattered by celestial maidens, erupted from the crater and randomly smashed into the surrounding areas.

The recently settled Human Allied Forces, in a frenzy, scurried toward the fortress of Barad-dûr to take cover.

Occasionally in the sky, chunks of molten rock resembling meteorites fell with dark trails of smoke.

Boom~

A burning molten boulder, weighing tens of tons, fiercely smashed onto the city wall, sending sparks flying and causing severe vibrations.

And there, Tao Yu, Gandalf, and Galadriel were actively intercepting the remnants of this volcanic eruption filled with the Natural Power.

Since there were too many, they ignored the harmless ones and directly blasted the threatening ones.

The Third Raikage, Ai, and Kirabi were also able to assist on the side.

With a flick of his staff, Tao Yu shattered a rock weighing tens of tons in mid-air, then said to Gandalf,

“Hold on a moment, I think I can control the direction of this thing and direct it towards the invasion point; the distance should be manageable…”

However, he was abruptly interrupted by Gandalf, who shouted,

“Shut up!

Please, no more messing around!”

Had it not been for Tao Yu’s active interception, Gandalf would have suspected that he was possessed by Sauron.

It was initially just dispersing some clouds, and then Mount Doom erupted!

And now you’re up to this?

“This time it’s for real!

It’s not messing around!”

Tao Yu looked desperate, defending his innocence.

Although he had triggered the volcano himself, it was akin to instinctively squeezing pimples or poking blisters.

“I don’t think things can get any worse; let’s just try.”

As he spoke, Galadriel calmly created a water mirror with her hand, deflecting a giant stone sprayed into outer space.

Gandalf stayed silent, his face clearly showing an expression of helpless resignation.

“Block it and watch me.”

Tao Yu immediately dropped what he was doing and swiftly landed on the ground.

With a swift motion, he pressed both hands onto the ground, and a massive magic rune rapidly outlined itself around him on the surface.

It was as if streamers of magma were drawing a bizarre pattern.

Rune Inscriptions appeared one after another, and the whole earth began to tremble.

The eruption from Mount Doom became even more fierce!

This almost made Gandalf want to pull out his staff and hit Tao Yu on the head.

But soon, he noticed that this time was indeed different…

The trajectory of the eruption from Mount Doom, seemingly guided by an aimed cannon, shifted from aimless shooting to a more directed blast—angled towards the eastern invasion point.

The semi-molten boulders shoot forward.

As the perspective rose with time, those semi-molten boulders ejected into the stratosphere began to fall through the dense cloud cover, crashing into the region where the Hellfire had landed.

Densely packed, the number of stones exceeded that of the invading Hellfires by far…
