American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 423 Capture in the Abyss
"Then you should understand that it is an extremely dangerous force. It is uncontrollable and difficult to deal with." Luke patiently persuaded him as if he was thinking about Barbatos.

But Luke's words and actions, in the eyes of Barbatos, will only make him feel that the abyss is indeed a very powerful force, a force so powerful that Luke is not willing to hand it over!The inexplicable greed in his heart suddenly rose again.

get it!
Greed screamed in his head.The other personality did not oppose him at this moment, as if suppressed by greed, it stopped again.

"Leave it to me!" Barbatos' tone carried an urgency that he was unaware of. He didn't even realize that his current reason and thinking were quietly dominated by certain emotions.

"This is your choice!" Luke heard Barbatos's deafening roar, and seemed helpless. At Barbatos' urgent request, he reached out and pulled out a burning black card from the void. Infernal Parchment of Fire.

"Come, sign a contract." Luke spread out the parchment and handed it to Barbatos.

The long piece of parchment in Luke's hand, which stretched out to about three meters long, fell into Barbatos' hand, and was not even the size of his fingernails.But this does not prevent Barbatos from understanding the contract from the energy fluctuations on the parchment.

After all, for him, his observations and insights are more in-depth than those of humans who see what they believe.

For example, in the eyes of Bruce and the two of them, it is just an evil parchment, but in his eyes, he can easily understand the energy fluctuations and runic characters on the unencrypted parchment. , and finally know what kind of role it plays.

"Why can't you just give me the abyss instead of asking me to find it?" Barbatos was a little dissatisfied with the conditions in the contract.

"If you find it, it's yours." Luke answered simply. "After the contract is signed, a door to the abyss will be opened for you. You can devour as much of the abyss power there as you want. You can do whatever you want inside."

"Then, the contract is established!" Barbatos looked carefully at Luke's words, but the greed and restless emotions in his heart were constantly interfering with his thinking, making him fanatical about the power of the abyss so close at hand. possessiveness.

He imprinted his mark of power on the contract, which was equivalent to his soul signature.And the material of this contract also carries his power very well.At the moment when the contract suddenly burned and turned into ashes, Barbatos felt a strange dimension calling to him.

The call was hazy and fuzzy, like whispering softly in the depths of a person's mind.

Barbatos knew that at this moment, he was connected to a certain dimension, and that dimension was calling him and welcoming his arrival.Barbatos can sense that he only needs to release his power along that inexplicable connection, and he can easily open a passage to that side.This shows that Luke did not deceive him or play any tricks on him.

"You are very honest." A ferocious and sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Barbatos's mouth. He bent down and tried his best to look at Luke below, "I didn't expect that you would really believe me and use the power of the abyss. The dimension I am in guides me. A powerful dimension that allows me to escape my final destruction. I have always wanted to find a place like this! How lucky, isn’t it?”

"I can see that you are showing signs of falling out." Luke easily sensed the thoughts in Barbatos' mind. He just looked calmly at Barbatos' face that condensed the dark animal nature. said softly.

"We signed a contract! So I can tell you that the melting pot of the world is in this world. But where it is, you need to find it yourself." Barbatos smiled maliciously, and the black thunder lingering all over his body, in that They instantly gathered into a beam and bombarded the void somewhere in the hall. A black hole was blasted open by the powerful dark power, forcibly connecting every bit of the world in another dimension to this world.

An extremely dark force that was so powerful that it was as solid as a substance came through slightly from the other end of the hole. The heavy sense of oppression and higher pollution made everyone on the field feel a thick layer of heart in an instant. shadow.

Bruce had a feeling that at the next moment, a disaster like earth-shattering would occur, which made him feel depressed and out of breath.

This was their second time [contacting] the abyss. The last time it was just a projection, but this time, it seemed like they were facing it head-on.

Without thinking, Stephen attached several rune contracts to himself and Bruce. Although these created runes could not completely resist the erosion of the power of the abyss, they could still provide short-term protection.

To put it figuratively, it is walking in the radiation zone fully armed and wearing protective clothing.As long as the concentration does not exceed the standard, their personal health and safety can be temporarily guaranteed for a certain period of time.

But for now, the weak pollution radiated by the power of the abyss can still be tolerated for the time being.

"It's this kind of power! But why is it different from what I imagined?" Barbatos was pleasantly surprised at first, but immediately realized something was wrong.

He is coveting the power of the abyss, that's right.But why can we sense its coveting of ourselves from the revealed energy fluctuations of the abyss?

Who is the prey?Who is food?
Why does the abyss have a will?Doesn’t this mean he’s another self?

Barbatos forced his attention away from the abyss, but found it difficult to do so.Even though the power radiated from the abyss was very small, it seemed to be solid, locking him firmly.Barbatos could even feel several slippery and disgusting invisible tentacles in the void, silently surrounding him, snaking along his ankles and body.

He could move, but that inexplicable sense of restraint and heaviness appeared so clearly in his senses.

Under the switched energy vision, Barbatos discovered to his horror that his soul was indeed wrapped up by cold white tentacles that seemed to have been soaked in the deep sea for a long time. The layers were layered, getting tighter and tighter, like being wrapped by Prey wrapped in spider silk.

The power of darkness represented by Barbatos struggled bravely, and it indeed played a role in delaying and hindering him. However, the tentacles of the unknown creatures, although slow, were still tenacious, firm, and restrained him bit by bit.

The dark forces want to break free from the shackles of the tentacles, and most of them will be swallowed up and assimilated by the power represented by the tentacles after some resistance. In the end, the stronger the struggle, the entangling power of the tentacles will also increase simultaneously.

When the tentacles wrapped around most of his soul, making him lose even the strength to struggle, Barbatos felt an unprecedented fear.This feeling is so fresh and incredible. Once it appears, it penetrates deep into the soul.

Barbatos felt as if he had made a wrong decision in his previous transaction.Before, the connection between him and the abyss dimension was only vague. He could sense the coordinates of the other party, but the distance between them, or the distance between them could not be used to describe the separation between them.At that time, as long as he didn't take the initiative, this connection would be safe enough to last for a long time.As long as there is no manipulation in the contract, he will not be able to meet the abyss for at least hundreds of millions of years.

But that was only the most ideal result before he opened the coordinate channel.

After the coordinate channel was opened, his connection with the abyss instantly improved from intermittent to full signal.Now, as more and more tentacles wrap around the soul, the soul becomes heavier and darker, and the connection signal between the two is simply beyond the limit.

I'm afraid he will never be able to escape from the abyss again.

Before his intimate contact with the abyss, Barbatos looked forward to this moment.

After his intimate encounter with the abyss, Barbatos hated this moment.

He jumped from a deep pit into a deeper pit.

And the initiator was the guy who guided him step by step to this point!

Thinking of that guy, Barbatos controlled his numb body and looked at the ant-like Luke below. Now that he was emotionally rich, he could even clearly see the smile on Luke's face that he hated so much.

"Cheating!" Barbatos roared angrily like thunder.He felt the tentacles on his soul tightening, and his body and consciousness became heavier and heavier.His connection with the abyss is getting closer and closer, and he is constantly moving in the direction of the abyss dimension unconsciously.The opened hole is being expanded by the abyss dimension, and it is releasing a huge suction force like a black hole to him.

He is like a star captured by a black hole, and can only merge with the other party step by step.

"How can it be called deception? I just reminded you of the existence of the abyss. It was you who took the initiative to ask me for the power of the abyss. I kindly reminded you that the abyss is very dangerous." Luke spread his hands. Throwing all responsibility and blame away: "I gave you a choice, but your persistence moved me!"

Barbatos almost burst into anger when he heard Luke's words.Who gave him those messy emotions and interfered with his judgment?Although there is no evidence to prove that Luke did this, Barbatos, whose soul was now in a mess, immediately locked in and determined the culprit.

But he no longer cares about arguing with Luke, he is being swallowed bit by bit by the abyss dimension.Literally, that hollow suction distorted Barbatos' body and soul, and swallowed him into the body bit by bit.

The two Bruces watched with solemn expressions as Barbatos' huge body was cut into abstract thin strips and submerged little by little into the living hollow.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and it seemed like a blink of an eye. By the time Bruce and the others woke up from that shocking scene, the hole had been forcibly closed and erased by Luke.

It was only at that last moment that Bruce and the others seemed to hear some kind of sound of satisfaction after a full stomach.

Without Barbatos' tall body, the entire hall instantly became much emptier.Stephen did not remove the protective runes on them, but reinforced and updated them again.The abyss dimension has left, but not all the power that spilled out before has left with it.The essence of the power of the abyss is mystery, devouring, and expansion. There is no accident in this area. In hundreds of millions of years, the power of the abyss may be much stronger.

The three of them rushed in the direction of Luke. When they approached him, Bruce asked.

"Is he dead?"

"How could he die?" Luke looked back at Bruce, both of them knew exactly who they were talking about.

"Hasn't he been swallowed by the abyss?" Bruce's heart tightened.After all, Barbatos, as the mastermind behind the Laughing Bat and the others, is known as the Dragon of Darkness and Destruction that has destroyed many universes. Once he reappears, Luke may not have any problems, but they who come with Luke may be Barbatos is being targeted.What is Barbatos's weakness?Do you want to prepare early?

"Being swallowed and assimilated by the abyss does not mean death in your mind." When Luke's goal is about to be achieved, he doesn't mind telling Bruce some secrets.

"The abyss is no different from other energy dimensions, except that it is more extreme and more like a living creature. But this is also cast by its energy characteristics. If there is life in other dimensions, it will naturally have it.

Barbatos is the dragon of darkness and destruction in your universe. Although his energy level is not as high as the dimension of the abyss, he will not be instantly digested and devoured by the abyss.It should be a long tug-of-war. "

"That……"

"Do you want to ask him if he can still come out of the abyss?"

As soon as Bruce opened his mouth, Luke realized what he wanted to say and asked the question actively.Seeing Bruce nodding, Luke patiently explained: "If there is no accident, it is almost impossible to release a life that has not been [digested] cleanly after being swallowed by the abyss. Even I can only complete the transformation by the abyss." Summoned by life. It has a will of its own!

If you are lucky enough to see him in the future, he will never be Barbatos, who represents darkness and destruction, but Barbatos, the Dragon of the Abyss.I don’t recommend that you meet him again. Although he may not remember you by then, given his size and being transformed into an abyssal species, once he appears, everyone who sees him and the universe where he is will inevitably quickly Contaminated and captured by the abyss.You and your friends won't even have a chance to fight to the death. "

"Abyssal species generally do not appear in the outside world, and Luke locked it. I can't imagine that except Luke and my teacher, anyone can bring Barbatos, who has been transformed into the Dragon of the Abyss, out of the abyss. Summon it." Stephen comforted the two of them.

He has dealt with the abyss a lot, but it is nothing more than borrowing the shallow power from the edge of the abyss.Who but disgusting people and utter destruction would pull those abyssal species out of the abyss?They have long been distorted to the point where their original appearance is no longer visible, and a mere glance at them is an extreme form of soul pollution.Even if Barbatos does reappear by then, there will be doubts as to whether Bruce and the others will recognize him.
