195: Norton's Vision

As battles concluded one by one, some faster Abyssal Kin had already rushed into the enemy's den, wreaking havoc.

The Forest of Ten Thousand Bones members, who were initially besieging, were extremely confident, believing that with several of them attacking together, a mere Lower God would be easily subdued.

It wasn't until the offensives on all fronts failed, and the enemy instead invaded their God Domain, that they realized something was amiss.

This kid's strength was too abnormal; he actually held the advantage fighting eight against one.

By the time they wanted to escape, it was already too late.

The Abyssal legions had already taken root in their God Domain and were rapidly spreading.

Norton also arrived in the Troll God Domain at this time and began to study "Faith Protection."

He activated the Alchemic Array, launching various attacks, all of which were firmly blocked by that layer of light shield.

This made him marvel at the wondrous nature of this protective layer.

"Interesting."

Norton mumbled to himself, stroking his chin.

"If this layer of protection could be applied to the deities worshipped by believers, wouldn't that deity be invincible?"

Due to his shallow research into faith, Norton was at a loss for how to proceed for a time.

At this moment, as the Trolls perished little by little, the light shield of Faith Protection also dimmed little by little.

Norton keenly noticed this point; although he didn't know that the Trolls were dying in large numbers, the weakening of faith allowed him to deduce this.

"It seems that believers are the foundation of this protective layer."

Norton understood this point, but he did not give up his research.

The Lord of the Abyss sent him here to find a way to directly break this layer of protection, and since he hadn't figured it out yet, he naturally couldn't report back just yet.

Moreover, he didn't believe there was an invincible defense in this world; every energy should have its weakness.

What is the weakness of the power of faith? If he couldn't directly destroy this light shield, could he change its nature?

As long as he could change its nature, would he then be able to break its invincible state?

With an idea, Norton began his experiments.

This time, he didn't focus on breaking through the shield, but rather used various substances to try to penetrate, integrate, and influence the properties of this shield.

Various rays of light, sound waves, vibrations, acids, alkalis, poisons, corrosives, radioactive substances, and so on.

When the Troll God pulled his gaze back to his own God Domain, he saw Norton cultivating various substances and applying them to the "Faith Protection."

This made him even more certain that the opposing God Lord was a bumpkin.

This layer of faith shield had stood firm for over a thousand years of validation; how could it be so easily broken?

Although he was confident that this light shield could not be broken, he dared not let Norton continue his research so blatantly.

What if?

What if this kid really researched something out? That would truly be the biggest joke in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield for thousands of years.

So, he directly manifested his divine body—a giant Zandalar Troll.

Just as Norton was about to continue his research, the sky suddenly darkened.

A giant Zandalar Troll appeared out of thin air, and the runic stone club in his hand smashed down with a whistling sound.

"Ant! How dare you trespass upon a God's domain? You seek death!"

Norton's expression changed drastically, and he hastily activated the Alchemic Array on his body.

His philosophers stone was left in the Abyss to engrave defensive arrays and was not carried on him.

At this moment, facing the Troll God's attack, he could only rely on his own strength to activate the Alchemic Array engraved on his robe to counter the enemy.

The stone club and the Alchemic Array collided, erupting in a dazzling light.

The Troll God was, after all, a Middle God, and he also mastered the three great laws of Bloodlust, Savagery, and Regeneration, making his strength extremely formidable.

The Alchemic Array on Norton's body was shattered layer by layer, and he was finally pounded into meat paste by the Troll God's club.

Norton, whose soul returned to the Abyss, was immediately resurrected, and he went back to the temple to report the situation to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had somewhat anticipated it when he learned that Norton temporarily had no solution.

After all, since that Troll God so arrogantly displayed his God Domain Core, he must have had sufficient confidence.

Ye Chen waved his hand, signaling Norton to withdraw.

Since he couldn't take shortcuts, Ye Chen prepared to arrange elite armies to eliminate all Trolls and openly shatter its God Domain Core.

Norton respectfully exited the temple; although he no longer needed to act, he felt somewhat unwilling.

As a prodigy of the Alchemy world, he had his own pride.

During his years of growth, he had overcome countless difficulties, which was one of the reasons he was called the number one genius Alchemist.

Now, the Lord of the Abyss trusted him so much, yet his solo mission ended in failure.

And it was due to the power of faith, which he looked down upon; this was something he could not accept and it ignited his competitive spirit.

"The power of faith, huh? I want to see what magical power you possess."

Norton muttered to himself, having already made a decision in his heart.

He wanted to pursue both Alchemy and faith paths!

Only by immersing himself in the ocean of faith could he better study it.

However, all the Kin in the Abyss were believers of the Lord of the Abyss, so he had no base of believers for himself.

And those seventh-tier Kin in the Abyss followed the path of comprehending laws, controlling laws, and ultimately transcending laws, becoming gods through sheer power, so they did not need believers or the power of faith.

This also made Norton difficult, but he thought of the intelligence collected by his subordinates.

The Abyss had always followed a path of invasion and assimilation.

If he could participate in the invasion of other worlds, then he would surely be able to accumulate some believers during the conquest of those worlds.

As long as it wasn't excessive, the Lord of the Abyss probably wouldn't say anything.

Having made his decision, Norton immediately rushed back to the vicinity of the World Tree, preparing to speed up his engraving to free himself as soon as possible and participate in the conquest of worlds.

Meanwhile, the battles within the Abyss were slowly subsiding.

Except for the Troll army, which was advancing layer by layer under the domain protection of sixty-five Zandalar Trolls, the other invading forces had been defeated, and now, with their backyard on fire, they could only be forced to defend.

The Troll army quickly swept through the entire disguise layer and discovered the Abyssal passage.

The Trolls did not hesitate and rushed in headlong.

Below the disguise layer was the fifteenth layer of the Abyss—the Fire Beast Domain.

The Fire Element here was extremely abundant, and countless Fire Element magical beasts lived there.

The Trolls were thick-skinned and did not care about the erosion of the Fire Element; the Flame Trolls even felt an unprecedented sense of clarity here.

The army, led by the Zandalar Trolls, continued to advance according to their original method, preparing to sweep through this layer.

However, Ye Chen could not let them be so reckless.

After all, there was a Flame Divine Tree standing on the small island where the phoenix originally resided in this layer, and he couldn't let them ruin it.

The Fire Beast Domain was vast, so there was no need to worry about them discovering the Divine Tree in a short time.

Countless Fire Element magical beasts surged towards the Trolls under the command of the Lord of the Abyss, holding back their advance.
