Chapter 784 - 784 781 Lifeline in the Hourglass

?Chapter 784: Chapter 781: Lifeline in the Hourglass Chapter 784: Chapter 781: Lifeline in the Hourglass To be honest, for a brief few seconds, Duncan even entertained a ludicrous and unsettling thought—had he arrived too late?

Just because he was a little slow to depart, or delayed on the way, had the Storm Goddess, already in a state of “delayed” death for ten thousand years, just missed his entrance and died here for real and utterly? Had her will dissipated?

But this somewhat absurd thought quickly vanished from Duncan’s mind—he confirmed that until the Homeloss docked beside this island, Fenna had still “read” the thoughts of the Storm Goddess, Gomona, which indicated that at least at that time, the latter was still in some kind of “operational” state…

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Duncan looked up at Fenna with a subtly expressive gaze, only to see Fenna also turning to look at him, their eyes briefly meeting before awkwardly shifting away.

“…Let’s not think too much about it for now. Let’s go down and take a look,” Duncan murmured, taking the lead and stepping forward, with the others closely following behind him.

They stepped into the round “hall” that was so vast it made one doubt the laws of architectural structure, descending the spiralling steps that seemed to lead toward a vortex ending at a pool of water below. The gigantic and pale tentacles of the “Leviathan Queen” stretched out nearby, its smaller offshoots intertwining with the dark “stone” blocks that made up the building before withering away between the stairs.

Duncan suddenly had a feeling, as though the massive palace, and even the black island bearing it, were a huge, man-made “shell,” with the divinely attributed Ancient Sea Beasts as the flesh within the shell. When the behemoth died, the flesh withered and contracted, leaving many “chambers”—the corridors, the rooms, and the halls.

They walked within the “shell” of the giant beast, treading across the voids left by the withered flesh, inching closer to the beast’s stopped heart.
