Chapter 276 Tomie's Corpse in the Whirlpool
Lack of oxygen can cause organ failure.
A person will suffocate.
For an immortal person, the entire process of suffocation would be felt with perfect clarity, yet they would not die and would still feel the pain of their organs being damaged.
Jiuzhiche hasn't felt it yet, but it's not far off.
The "Strong" template allowed him to stay breathless for much longer than normal people. He silently assessed his physical condition and estimated that he could maintain it for about twenty minutes.
In other words, he needs to find a way out within this timeframe.
Jiuzhiche's demonic eyes had adapted to the darkness here. It wasn't completely black; there was a faint glimmer of light. Relying on this faint light, Jiuzhiche tried his best to discern the direction of the light and swam towards it.
In fact, his spiritual body has been here several times; this is the vortex's home ground, the deep sea.
Both Tomie Uzumaki and the first Tomie stayed here, but they seem to have been in the same deep sea.
Tomie Uzumaki is still missing. I wonder if I'll run into her?
Based on subtle differences, Jiuzhi Che judged that this was the deep sea where the first Tomie had stayed. One was a more chaotic feeling, and the other was a more peaceful feeling. This was the latter.
After swimming for about ten minutes, Jiuzhiche arrived at the location of the faint light.
He was stunned.
These faintly glowing things are actually Tomie?
At a glance, there were at least dozens of Tomie's corpses, each with traces of new Tomie growing on it. In short, the scene was quite bizarre.
However, due to some kind of force, Tomie and others were not successfully born, but their growth was suppressed.
The Demon Eye can see that the suppressing forces are getting weaker and weaker.
Tomie is adapting to the vortex forces that suppress them.
Those who cannot adapt will not be born.
No wonder, as Tomie once said, many imposters' corpses were thrown into the Dragonfly Pond, but the corpses were never found; it seems they all settled here.
There are two vortex deep seas, one is where Jiuzhiche's world is located, and the other is where he is now. It seems that the Dragonfly Pool is connected to the two worlds.
Suddenly, a head that had grown from Tomie's body opened its eyes, and those eyes revealed joy: "Ache!"
Don't even mention it, Jiuzhiche was almost startled.
Immediately afterwards, like dominoes, one by one, heads opened their eyes and called out "Ache, Ache".
My heart couldn't take it at all; my girlfriend was so... so strange.
Jiuzhiche tried and was able to speak. "Do you want to leave?"
Instead of saying I'd take you away, I asked them what they thought.
No, stay.
"We can't leave yet, we're waiting."
"We are the ones who planted her."
"Wait for the harvest."
"I want to kiss you."
Jiuzhiche listened for a while and pieced together their meaning.
First, their consciousness is incomplete. Second, they are products created by Tomie by planting them on Tomie's corpse and using the power of the vortex. Furthermore, their consciousness is implanted with the idea of waiting for Tomie to come and reap them.
Logically, Tomie's power should have allowed them to grow into normal adults and not be willing to be controlled by others. However, this is the deep sea of whirlpools, and someone has used the power of the whirlpools to suppress them!
Who else could it be? It's most likely Tomie Uzumaki.
What a clever scheme! Using the corpses of Tomie and the others to cultivate the power of the vortex, and then absorbing it at the end.
Jiuzhiche asked, "Which way do we get out?"
The incomplete Tomies all turned their heads in unison in the same direction.
Jiuzhi Che continued swimming. It felt like he had been swimming for a long time, but in reality, it had only been a little over ten minutes. Soon, he would reach his limit.
He stopped in front of a barrier, thinking that if he could increase his strength, he could hold his breath a little longer.
Just then, he was bumped in the back and turned around.
A whole string of Tomie followed silently, and then they all crashed into the barrier.
Before long, a hole was torn in the barrier.
"She wants to leave, I won't help her."
"A-Che, let's go."
"relative."
They uttered words that were difficult to understand.
It seems that someone wanted to leave, but they refused to help.
This is so Tomie-like.
Although their consciousnesses were implanted and awaited harvest, they still refused to help Tomie Uzumaki.
Jiuzhiche gave them a deep look, but didn't kiss or hug them, because that would trigger a chain reaction.
Once inside, the crack quickly healed.
This place is still a deep sea.
It also has a powerful suction force that gathers everything around it in a certain direction.
Jiuzhi Che guessed that it was the giant vortex Qian that had previously tried to devour vortex Tomie.
"Strength increased to 70%!"
[Consumes 40% of Spirituality, Current Allocable Spirituality: 17%]
[Strong] Activation progress 70%
In an instant, Jiuzhiche was able to hold his breath for another 30 minutes or so.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Against the suction force, he used his spiritual sense to perceive his surroundings and finally found a vortex flow that was independent of this area. Without hesitation, he jumped into it.
I just found this place to be different from the surroundings, and trying it is better than experiencing death.
Jiuzhiche arrived at a vortex-filled small world where the sky was filled with vortexes.
Soaring spiral pillars and swirling spheres intertwine and interweave, creating a stunning visual impact!
If the whirlpool in the deep sea is a distortion of the mind, then this is the complete embodiment of the whirlpool.
Chaotic, distorted, seemingly disordered yet rich in order—join the vortex! Experience the beauty of the vortex!
Jiu Zhiche felt a slight chill. He had 80% immunity, yet the thought of joining him flashed through his mind for a fleeting moment.
Although I can easily control myself, I cannot stay here for long.
This is the whirlpool world beneath the Dragonfly Pond in the original story.
It is both the origin and the end.
In the original story, after Dragonfly Pond opened the Vortex World, a spiral staircase appeared, but it doesn't exist now. Jiuzhi Che can only use his telekinesis to lift himself into the air.
Keep going up, up.
Along the way, the swirling pattern constantly rotated, attracted, and produced a variety of visual effects in his view.
Jiuzhi Che focused his mind, trying to clear his mind of all distractions and only thinking about getting out.
But his mind was constantly filled with chaotic thoughts, which were then cleared out by the vortex, then filled in again, and then cleared out again, in a never-ending cycle. An ordinary person would have gone crazy long ago if tormented like this.
Jiuzhiche ignored everything and kept going up.
Time seems to have lost its meaning.
Even the consumption of mental energy becomes less important.
Jiuzhiche suddenly snapped back to his senses; his perception had been slightly distorted!
The fog was instantly dispelled!
He looked and realized that his mental energy was about to be exhausted.
He immediately used a Spirit Orb.
Just as my spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, I finally reached the end of the sky.
There was a small crack.
"Leap!"
"flutter--"
Above the Dragonfly Pond, the Nine Peaks emerge from the water.
"ah!!!"
A couple who were about to kiss were startled.
Jiuzhiche ignored their reactions and went ashore on his own.
With a flick of the eye, the "spirit" template rises to 100%.
"So triggering the template selection now requires 250%?"
[Templates not activated through spiritual means are not included.]
Jiuzhi Che nodded.
Suddenly, she curled her lips into a smile, almost bursting out laughing.
Jiuzhiche silently purified himself.
That feeling of being unable to control my expression disappeared.
The center of the vortex is indeed difficult to deal with.
But after this trip to the Vortex World, one of his previous conjectures can now be put into practice.
