Chapter 465 The Bottle of Devouring
Dui tracked down to the location of Ugoliant's main body.
It was a desolate, forgotten land located in the southern part of Arda, near the edge of the world, shrouded in shadows and mists year-round.
He came to the deepest part of the abyss, and in the thick darkness, following his senses, he directly lifted an invisible veil.
A massive curtain of darkness was lifted, revealing the true form of Ugoliant hidden beneath.
The invisible veil was actually a dark cloak woven by Ugoliant, possessing powerful concealment properties.
In the ancient times of the Two Trees, Ulgriant used this cloak to cover herself and Morgoth, enabling them to sneak into Valinor, bypassing the senses of Manwë and the other Valar, and successfully destroy the Two Trees right under their noses. They also killed Fenwë, the High King of the Noldor, and stole the Silmarils.
In addition to its powerful concealment, the Dark Cloak also possesses strong binding abilities. When Morgoth refused to hand over the Silmarils to Uggoliant and the two fell out over the division of the spoils, Uggoliant used the Dark Cloak to trap Morgoth and attempted to strangle him.
It can be said that this is a powerful dark artifact that combines offense and defense.
Now it's Dui who benefits.
With a wave of his hand, he retracted the dark cloak, which transformed into a well-fitting black cloak that he draped over his body.
With this cloak, no one could detect his presence, not even the Valar.
Dui was in a good mood after acquiring such a trophy, and finally turned his attention to the massive Ugoliant body, which was as large as a continent.
Ugoliant's spiritual body in the warp was burst apart by Dui's ocean of minds, which was formed from the collective consciousness of all beings, and thus became what it is today.
But she did not actually die, nor will she die.
Ugoliant, a Valar-level evil god, is the embodiment of darkness on the outskirts of the world of Arda. Even if he is killed, he will be reborn from the darkness and remain eternally immortal.
Although her will and mind have been overwhelmed by the consciousness of all living beings, making her resemble a living dead, her true form still exudes a terrifying and powerful pressure, which even Dui felt.
Dui was able to turn the tide so quickly this time not only because of the unexpected appearance of the Sea of the Mind, but also because Ugoliant was overconfident in his strength and entered the subspace in his spiritual form, which was not his strongest state.
Otherwise, if Ugoliant were to fight in its true form, it would be extremely difficult for Dui to defeat it, let alone turn it into what it is now.
Dui looked at Ugoliant's enormous body and did not intend to kill it directly.
Because doing so actually helps Ugoliant to be freed, thus returning to the darkness outside the world to be reborn.
Moreover, Dui found a spark of inspiration in the process of Ugoliant devouring the Sea of Minds.
He thought that perhaps he could turn Ugoliant's body into a perfect filter to solve the hidden dangers in the Sea of the Mind.
Because the Sea of the Mind gathers the consciousness of countless intelligent beings from different times and spaces in Alda, containing the indelible strong emotions and will of each individual.
Although Dui can absorb and learn from it little by little without being influenced by the emotions and will within it, it still carries hidden dangers.
In particular, if one absorbs too much energy from the Sea of the Mind, one may be influenced by the will of all beings, polluting one's own mind. In more serious cases, one may be like Ugoliant today, whose mind and consciousness may be completely obliterated, turning him into a mindless and unfeeling living dead.
However, forging such a divine artifact would not be an easy task for someone with Dui's abilities.
So Dui, carrying Ugoliant's body, returned to Valinor and sought help from the craftsman god Aulius.
The Valar were all shocked by Dui's bringing back the body of the evil god Ugliant.
After all, although the Vera had never directly encountered Ugoliant, they had heard of her reputation and knew of her strength.
Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Dui, who had just been promoted to Vera, and his consciousness was erased and taken back to his body.
The craftsman god Aure showed great enthusiasm for Dui's request to have Ugoliant's body forged into a divine artifact.
For Aurelia, who loved forging, Ugoliant's body was an extremely rare and perfect material. He directly refused Dui's request for payment and offered to forge it for Dui for free.
After all, this matter is also beneficial to Aure. Once he uses Ugoliant's body to forge the most powerful artifact, his forging authority will advance further.
For the next thousand years, Dui and the craftsman god Aoli worked together in Aoli's workshop to forge divine artifacts.
Oli was in charge of forging, with Dui assisting him.
Aoli's workshop has a huge forge containing the secret fire bestowed by Ilúvatar, where he often uses the secret fire to forge mountains, minerals, and objects.
Even after the stars, Varda used the sparks from her forge to create stars.
This secret fire is not the true secret fire in Ilúvatar's possession, but it possesses some of its properties, and can restore all things to their original state.
Auri threw Ugoliant's body into the furnace, used the secret fire to restore it to its original state, and then reforged and shaped it.
After a thousand years of continuous forging and smelting, a black treasure bottle was finally born.
The vase is pitch black, but it is not truly black; rather, it appears as an "empty darkness" because it can absorb light.
Looking inside from the bottle opening, all that could be seen was emptiness and darkness, like a black hole swallowing everything around it.
The bottle is not decorated much, except for a ferocious spider pattern that looks lifelike, as if it could come to life at any moment.
This treasure bottle was regarded as his masterpiece by the craftsman god Auril, and named "Angonori," meaning "devouring vessel," also known as the Bottle of Ugoliant.
The bottle has a powerful ability to devour, not only light and darkness, but also all matter and energy. It can also trap people inside the bottle, and even Vera would find it difficult to escape once she was trapped inside.
Even the god of craftsmen, Auril, who forged this world-destroying treasure bottle, felt somewhat worried, though extremely proud.
When handing the vase to Dui, he solemnly requested that Dui use it with care and caution.
Otherwise, if Dui were to harbor thoughts of destroying the world, none of the Valar would be able to stop him.
When Du Yi happily accepted the artifact, he also very seriously agreed to Aoli's request.
After all, his initial purpose in asking Aoli to forge the artifact was simply to filter the Sea of Mind in the subspace. He just didn't expect Aoli's craftsmanship to be so good that the power and effect of the forged bottle far exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, he's not mentally ill to think about destroying the world.
After obtaining the bottle, Dui couldn't wait to bring it into the warp and then use it to absorb the energy of the Sea of Mind within the warp.
The ocean of the mind is continuously devoured by the vase, and all the impurities such as emotions, obsessions, and wills of all beings contained within it are constantly filtered out by the vase, leaving only pure spiritual energy.
Dui can absorb this pure spiritual energy without any risks, allowing his spiritual power to continuously grow stronger.
