Chapter 1985: 571 Can I take a bite? … “Not right.” “The situation seems different from what I imagined…” The cricket’s appearance was so hideous and terrifying that Matthew instinctively thought, at first glance, that this giant creature was gnawing crazily at the Flowerheart Fortress. But as he got closer. Matthew did not sense malice or hostility from the cricket; instead, he felt a rather weak energy. He and Lulu reached the treetop. Standing higher. Only then could they see clearly— Beneath the Flowerheart Fortress, at the intersection of the branches of two gigantic trees, a massive dimensional vortex appeared! It was the torn material layer. Near the vortex, not a blade of grass grew; the ground was full of deep pits and hollows. Matthew could imagine that before the vortex descended on the plane, lush forests once grew in those places. It can be imagined. If it weren’t for the deep roots of those two giant trees, their fate might have been the same as their brethren above those holes, ultimately becoming nourishment for the dimensional vortex! “Such a large rift has already created a chain reaction. If it’s not patched up in time, the entire central garden might collapse!” Matthew’s heart trembled. He wouldn’t dare approach such a high-level dimensional vortex. Because who knows where it might teleport you to! Not to mention the evil creatures that might be lurking behind the vortex; even the dark currents inside the vortex possess the ability to tear apart most materials in this world! “Keep away from it!” Matthew elevated his position with Lulu. As they looked up again, they could see clearly the giant cricket oozing yellow pus, desperately clinging to the Flowerheart Fortress, using the strength of those two giant trees to prevent it from falling into the dimensional vortex! “I remember now, he’s the legendary Cricket Captain!” Lulu suddenly whispered: “The Cricket Captain was the most trusted guard of the Ice Empress. He used to be the guardian of the garden but vanished with the Ice Empress many years ago…” At this moment. A gentle and weak voice sounded beside them: “Please be careful, you two, this area is extremely dangerous. If there isn’t anything critically important, you should leave here quickly!” “I am ordered by the great God of Time and Luck, Loa, to guard the Flowerheart Fortress.” “Originally, it shouldn’t have been a problem; I was just too hasty when I saw the fortress falling and rushed to catch it, accidentally getting bitten twice by a Star Realm Dragon Serpent. Not only was my leg bitten off, but the wound also had a minor issue…” “No worries, though, I can hold on for a while before the wound completely festers.” Matthew raised his head. The speaker was naturally the Cricket Captain Lulu spoke of. “Where is that Star Realm Dragon Serpent?” Matthew asked. “Oh, I killed it with a slap, it’s just not far away, on the other side of the forest…” The Cricket Captain gestured in a direction with his broken wing. Matthew glanced afar. Indeed, he saw the corpse of a large dragon serpent. “Whose order did you say you are following?” Matthew suddenly asked again. “The God of Luck, Loa, sir.” The Cricket Captain seemed polite. Matthew was surprised: “Not the Mad Second Hand?” The Cricket Captain said: “I indeed come from the Second Hand Temple. In the temple. We all know the Mad Second Hand is the God of Luck, and Turing is Loa. They are two-in-one beings. Most of the time, we are required to refer to this great entity as the Mad Second Hand.” “But recently, the leadership between these two seems to have changed.” “He asks us to call him ‘God of Time and Luck’.” “Even the logo, insignia, statues, and names of the Second Hand Temple have all been changed—” “Ah.” “I’m so sorry.” “I forgot the Second Hand Temple has already been renamed to the ‘Temple of Luck and Time’…” The Cricket Captain’s tone revealed annoyance. Matthew’s mind filled with guesses— The God of Luck, Loa, has devoured the Mad Second Hand, replacing Turing as a Twilight Creature. On the surface, it seems the former succeeded, but judging from the titles used when active, the latter still uses the Mad Second Hand, a Twilight Creature’s title more often. In a sense. It is better to say the Mad Second Hand assimilated Loa. Yet now, the situation has changed. “Could it be due to events in the vanished historical world?” Matthew secretly speculated. It’s said Isabelle and the Mad Second Hand entered the historical world together; regarding Loa’s fate, Isabelle was vague, and now it seems there was another experience. At least. Loa’s divine persona and consciousness have begun to dominate. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a series of revamping changes to his own temple. “No matter what, you guys better quickly leave here; it’s really too unsafe.” The Cricket Captain urged again. Matthew briefly smiled: “Rest assured, we’ll leave soon.” “But before that, we need to handle some matters at the Flowerheart Fortress.” “Is there anything we can help with?” The Cricket Captain hesitantly said: “Really? You want to enter the fortress? The conditions inside might also be hazardous. For the past several days. I have repeatedly called on the female priestess, but she hasn’t responded to me at all. Fortunately, I understand that before the fortress fell from the clouds, she had dismissed everyone inside. Currently, she should be the only one left inside…” “As for help, sorry, you’re too small to assist me.”
