Prime Originator-Chapter 1036 Studying the Abyss

Chapter 1036 Studying the Abyss

The first point of interest that came to mind in the abyss was the ground. Its metallic surface was so durable that it could withstand the battle between Nightingale and the Celestial-level Cruel Angel with only dents.

Furthermore, it was clear that it wasn't something that was naturally formed from heaven and earth; it was artificial, whether it was made by human beings or some other races.

The alloy combination made it very sturdy, but it was also very thick.

As such, it was able to withstand the impacts of the battle. That being said, it would have turned out differently if Nightingale and the Celestial-level Cruel Angel had purposely targeted the metallic ground.

After all, they were still Celestial-level beings. Only upper tier-6 and higher materials could withstand their full power.

Leon seeped his divine sense into the ground before figuring out the exact thickness and dimensions of the metal object.

The metal surface was thirty feet thick, and the interior was hollow. It appeared to be a broken piece of some megastructure.

And when Leon considered the topography of Gran Crevasse, which was like one enormous crater, he guessed the huge metal object had fallen from the sky.

No, it could only have fallen from the sky or even beyond the sky, which was outer space.

"Interesting…" Leon uttered thoughtfully.

Given the enormity of the metal object, Leon concluded that the crater size should have covered the entire western jungle region—had it fallen from the sky.

And if it had fallen from outer space, the sheer momentum and friction to create such a crater size would have generated enough power to set off a chain reaction capable of wiping out all life on the planet.

It should have been on the same level as the impact that formed the shape of the Human Domain.

However, the reality is that the impact only created the current Gran Crevasse and didn't cover the entire western jungle.

When Leon swept his divine sense further past the huge metal object, he understood why that was the case.

"I see… Thanks to the subterranean space underneath Gran Crevasse, a portion of the impact was minimized. However, most of the impact was abated by the sea of vines and tree roots underneath…" Leon softly uttered with a thoughtful look.

The number of tree roots and vines beneath the huge metallic object acted as a super cushion, saving the planet from staggering amounts of devastation.

"The odds of this metallic object dropping here of all places is very low… If it wasn't specifically dropped here, then it can almost be considered a miracle…" Leon quietly commented as he continued to inspect with his divine sense.

"Looking at its shape, it can't be part of a floating city. It's part of something far bigger. And these exterior patterns… it's similar to the pyramid object in the Starfall Dominion…"

As Leon continued his analysis, he eventually concluded with certainty that the metallic object came from outer space.

Space debris was what it was.

Furthermore, it was a rather big piece of space debris, even among all the space debris orbiting the planet. That being said, it was still not the biggest piece.

"This space debris fell from outer space… But without the tree roots and vines to cushion it, the world would have ended again… That being said, these tree roots and vines had already existed before the space debris descended…"

"On top of that, the abyss actually extended much further… So, even without the tree roots and vines in place, the space debris wouldn't have actually destroyed all life on the surface. The space debris would have continued to drop to the bottom of this abyss…"

"It might have even entered the mantle layer depending on how deep this abyss extends…" Leon thought.

As for why such a deep abyss exists, that was still something Leon had to figure out later.

However, he learned that the space debris had nothing to do with the plants' growth in the western jungle. The source of the western jungle's growth came from something else.

"It seems like the source of the western jungle's growth lies deeper below this space debris…" Leon presumed, but he wasn't in a hurry to explore deeper just yet.

There were still other points of interest to study in the present region before exploring further down. For example, the nasty infant abominations and the Whitebone Fiends.

He had yet to figure out whether they had come with the space debris or they had existed in the abyss since the beginning.

Nevertheless, according to the mutant human corpses found within the space debris with tree roots impaled in them, Leon felt that the former was more likely to be the case.

At the very least, the initial fiends did seem to have come along with the space debris.

"The infant abominations must have been produced after the space debris fell into this place… They were still coming at me some time ago. But I must have burned them all since there doesn't seem to be any left."

"However, it's strange that the infant abominations didn't come out of the abyss along with those Whitebone Fiends at the start," Leon suddenly thought.

The infant abominations only appeared much later after the Whitebone Fiends left the abyss and even opened a hole in the sky.

"Did the abyss produce the infant abominations after it received sunlight?" Leon speculated before deciding, "I should test this later. But for now, I will pause the investigation here."

Cindertail and the other members of the Golden Suanni Clan were still waiting for news on the surface.

Meanwhile, Nightingale had not paid attention to Leon's mumbles and actions. She was too engrossed in familiarizing herself with the Dragon God Body Tempering Method.

It was a method that could increase the defensive strength of her flesh and scales.

If Nightingale could use True Grandmist Energy from the primordial era to train in the technique, her defense would rise by leaps and bounds.

"We're returning to the surface, Nightingale."

"Eh? Ah, yes, my Lord!"
