In the boundless ice layer, the tunnel melted by Lily's sunshine continued to deepen forward.
To achieve this goal, Lily has paid so much, and she must persevere. This is the promise she once made.
She stared at the map and the compass at the same time, looking very nervous.
"We're already here. If the location reported by Tira at 134 meters is correct, we're only 10 miles away at most."
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound, and an extremely sharp tinnitus spread through the ice and poured into Lily's mind.
For a moment, Lily curled up into a ball and covered her ears in pain, but it was of no use. The vibrating sound seemed to strike directly into her soul.
Without saying a word, Lily immediately turned off the light on her body and tried to hide herself in the darkness.
Regardless of what the voice was, she didn't want to provoke her now, she just wanted to reach her destination as quickly as possible.
The sound came again from deep in the ice, one wave higher than the other, causing Lily great pain.
Lily opened her eyes with difficulty, and colorful light shone on her face through the translucent ice.
Those were not the bright colors of a rainbow, but the dull colors reflected in soapy water bubbles.
The light came from inside the ice, and Lily saw something inside, some bubbles piled together.
These bubbles seem to have no boundaries between inside and outside, they are nested in each other to form a huge aggregate.
Seeing this extremely special shape, Lily immediately recalled what Charles had once told her about what would happen after his death.
"Is this the 010 that teleported the bandaged first mate away?"
Various translucent yellow tentacles stretched out from the ice, pushing 010's strange body forward.
Inside the ice, 010 moved very quickly, even a little panicked.
With a click, the ice that should have been clean and clear suddenly cracked, and this crack just blocked 010's way.
The sound of ice breaking was heard again, and a crack in the ice pierced into 010's body like a sharp knife.
The three bubbles on its surface quickly shrank, and even the liquid substance inside the skin seeped into the cracks in the ice.
Seeing this scene, Lily finally understood where the time loop on the snowflakes and the ice came from.
The entire huge block of ice is actually alive. It is devouring 010, trying to take over its power over time completely.
So the reason why time stopped when they touched the snowflakes before was because the iceberg had absorbed some of the energy.
Earthsea can never record the reasons, not only because recording would attract the attention of the entity, but also because they are not immutable.
On the Earth Sea, any relic or monster may actively or passively absorb other things and gain new abilities. New changes are happening here all the time.
The current situation is very unfavorable for 010. As the bubbles on its body are constantly disappearing, sharp trembling sounds are continuously transmitted to Lily's ears.
She has seen enough. Lily doesn't want to get involved in the feud between Iceberg and 010. She has her own things to do.
While the two were inseparable, Lily made the final sprint with her whole body glowing.
The hollow ice tunnel was constantly expanding. After flying for more than 500 miles, Lily was already very tired. Her head began to swell, but she did not give up.
Suddenly Lily's eyes lit up, and she saw the air in the distance, and the ice was about to be completely melted by her.
However, when you think something is going in a good direction, it always goes in a bad direction.
"Crack~!" Hundreds of ice cracking sounds rang out in unison, and Lily was instantly trapped in a cage formed by ice cracks.
"No matter who you are, don't try to stop me!" Lily had no intention of sitting there and waiting to die. As she gritted her teeth and clenched her hands tightly, her slender body completely turned into a dazzling sun.
Lily thought that without the ice layer as a carrier, these cracks would disappear directly, but what shocked her was that these cracks could actually exist without the ice layer.
Without the solid ice as a container, the cracks revealed their true colors.
The long and narrow cracks were formed by cracks in space and time. Lily saw some strange eyes and other limbs from inside.
No matter what the true form of this iceberg monster is, it seems to have put its body into the space-time cracks on its organs.
The entire net formed by the space-time rifts instantly shrank inward. If it weren't for the light in Lily's body that quickly formed a shield, she would have been torn into dozens of pieces in an instant.
But Lily's situation was still not optimistic. The space-time rift easily tore the shield formed by light and cut towards her fragile body.
At this critical moment, the entire ice layer shook violently with a bang.
Lily subconsciously looked down and found a translucent sphere flashing in the sweat under the ice.
The crack monster seemed to think that the thing was much more dangerous than Lily, and the net formed by the cracks quickly spread out and drilled into the ice below.
This was a golden opportunity at the critical moment. Taking advantage of this moment, Lily melted the ice wall as quickly as possible and tried to leave here.
When the familiar sea breeze blew on Lily again, her spirit was instantly shaken.
She melted the huge ice wall behind her as quickly as possible.
But just as she came out, the huge iceberg behind Lily suddenly tilted and hit her without any warning.
Lily was knocked into the water by a mountain, and the huge waves it stirred up directly turned into a tsunami.
After about a minute, Lily climbed out of the water, panting, and stared at the iceberg in the distance.
As the only person who has obtained the power of the God of Light, it is not easy for Lily to die.
The iceberg was right there, not too far away, and it stood there like a dead object. The cave that Lily had come from had healed.
But Lily understood that this was just a disguise. This ice wall that was connected to the rocky sea surface and cut through the entire sea surface was actually alive.
Lily slowly turned around and looked around the sea cautiously.
According to the map instructions, the target mentioned by 134 is here.
But under Lily's illumination, the entire sea surface was very flat, without any trace of an island.
“If I’m not up there…” Lily’s mind moved, and she dived directly into the dark sea.
Under her sunshine, a huge sunken island finally saw the light of day again.
There were neatly arranged foundation buildings and a tall giant metal archway above. Lily found that she had finally arrived at her destination.
This is where the Foundation created the God of Light.
"I must find a way to contact Mr. Charles in this dimension." After saying that, Sister Lily rushed towards the sea.
But when her body hit the water, it felt like hitting a steel plate.
Lily, who was underwater, touched the water surface in disbelief. She was just one step away from taking the final step, but she was actually trapped under the water.
"Who is it?" Suddenly Lily noticed something and quickly turned her head to see something slowly floating towards her from the depths of the sea.
