The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

Chapter 420 - 270: The Inescapable Swamp_2

Du En was completely different; he was the most outstanding among them.

Su Qi's initial judgment suggested that after absorbing the black substance produced by the potion, Du En's physical condition had improved more than fivefold. All sorts of potential abilities were being awakened, with his combat level skyrocketing during actual combat.

And...

After gradual fights, the others' spirits would be affected to some extent. They would become excited, tense, and negative emotions would increase, sometimes to the point of recklessly disregarding their teammates.

Only Du En remained unaffected; in all kinds of crises, he prioritized others first. His purity of heart could be said to be extremely high.

In other words.

He.

He was the perfect match for this potion.

Of course.

The most important point was that there was a strange force in Du En's body that suppressed all the bizarre mental effects brought by the black liquid.

This strange power had caught Su Qi's attention from the moment it first appeared.

And now.

Su Qi had finally seen the true nature of that strange force in Du En, displayed on the screen as two characters.

[Divinity]

Divinity?

Those two words were not simple.

Typically, divinity was found in gods or demigods, or in the descendants with divine blood, and not just any lineage—it had to be one with blood closely related to the divine or inheritance of divine artifacts.

Considering... in the present world, it seemed that many things were recovering. Su Qi had reason to believe that ancient beings, forces, and worlds previously in slumber were unveiling their ancient seals.

In short.

Compared to the recovery of gods, their subordinates, divine sons, and the like, would first emerge in the present world.

"Talking about gods is annoying," Su Qi touched his chin,

"Can't they come up with something new? Which god is behind this guy? The Superpower God?"

The benchmark of this world was some special superpowers; they even downplayed the enhancement of physical condition, but the development of abilities had been brought to the extreme.

"It looks like the secrets of this world might be showing their signs."

"And..."

Su Qi looked down the passage, "There's also an invasion of something like Chaotic... Though heavily modified, I can faintly feel the involvement of the Abyss Church's strength."

Although he was still digging, he felt a premonition.

That it would surface soon.

"Let's go, we've rested enough," the Captain said quietly.

The group stood up and followed without saying much.

"Does everyone seem a bit down?" Du En asked, puzzled.

"In due time, the power of the potion grows stronger, and the despair of death lingers in our hearts, negative emotions surge like waves," Su Qi spoke softly.

"Then Brother Su, it seems I'm not affected either," Du En also keenly noticed this.

"It's normal, you have big brother looking after you."

"What?" Du En was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

This scene also caught Su Qi's attention; it seemed Du En really wasn't aware of the power within him, nor did he know his own identity.

And...

In this Superpower World, no traces of any god's kin were seen anywhere, no shrines, nothing related to gods, just an ordinary superpowered world.

In such a place.

There must be hidden depths, even extraordinary value.

Otherwise.

The Abyss Church wouldn't have set their sights on this place, and... Su Qi picked up a shattered potion bottle from the ground, still supplying substances like Chaotic.

The group walked towards the front.

The layout of the final level was simple; a passage led to a re

Nobody could remain calm.

Fortunately.

Su Qi mercilessly interrupted everyone's turmoil.

"Alright, let's skip the drama of shock at betrayal, everyone."

"Pay attention now."

"The control room is just ahead, there were no monsters as we made our way to the headquarters, and there is no difficulty or danger in entering and opening the gates."

The others showed a slight change in expression upon hearing this.

Su Qi continued, "But."

"On the left side of the corridor... there is a peculiar silence as some pipes are being shut, and on the right, there are heavy breathing sounds behind the sealed gate."

He looked up, "There's something moving in the ceiling too."

"It seems rather impatient."

"I understand." The Captain, eyes closed, took over, "Now we are the so-called test subjects."

"This is a process they've arranged for us."

"When we push the control room switch."

"All gates will open, but it will also be the swamp we cannot leave after finding out everything."
