After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 111.1

Seeing Aelioge’s excitement, Valefor didn’t know what to say for a moment.

One could say that having confidence and courage was a good thing, wasn’t it? At least better than not daring to challenge Big Brother.

At this time, Aelioge turned around, His gaze sweeping over Them, suddenly discovering Buer was missing, He looked down.

Oh, so she was scared into becoming a cat.

What a timid ragdoll cat. But I’m different.

Aelioge rebuilt His confidence internally, and seriously said to the other demons. “We still have seven days, enough time for us to prepare. Big Brother is probably coming back for the family meeting, we have plenty of time to prepare what to say.”

Gusin lay on the table, resting his chin on his hand, and said, “Aeli Aeli, are you serious?”

“Of course I’m serious.”

When Aelioge spoke, His eyes suddenly filled with divinity, and the majestic aura of the God of War who looked down upon all battlefields emerged.

But He quickly came to His senses, coldly looked at Gusin, and questioned. “What do you mean by Aeli Aeli?”

Gusin smiled slightly, “Just thought it suited you.”

Aelioge’s face darkened, feeling like He had been fooled.

Morax, however, was excited and stepped forward saying, “Haven’t fought with Big Brother in a long time, last time I fought with Big Brother was the previous time.”

The last time you fought with Big Brother was when you were just born and your mind wasn’t clear, rushing towards Big Brother.

Can that even be called fighting? A baby demon who was flattened by Big Brother’s paw, hmph.

Aelioge criticized internally, but His expression was bright and sunny as He said to Morax. “Good, if we work together, there’s definitely hope.”

“Of course.”

Morax’s eyes lit up with fighting spirit, as if he was already fighting with Big Brother in his mind.

Valefor and Gusin exchanged glances.

Valefor felt utterly speechless, while Gusin wore an expression of enjoying the show.

Valefor noticed that after traveling around the universe, Gusin’s personality had become somewhat drifting, or rather… more carefree.

Valefor looked back at Aelioge, thinking about what She should say as an older sister.

Should She encourage Her brother to bravely challenge Big Brother, or persuade him to face reality and perform a sliding kneel when Big Brother returns?

This was an ultimate dilemma. Valefor fell silent.

The ragdoll cat was now rolling around on the sofa, crying out. “Don’t care meow, don’t care meow, it’s all Aeli who tricked Big Brother meow.”

Hearing this, Aelioge’s face darkened further, and He solemnly declared. “Not a single demon in the cat-headed demon group is innocent! And I dare guarantee, Big Brother has already seen those cat heads.”

The ragdoll cat’s fur stood on end, immediately flipping up to glare angrily at Aelioge, “Big Brother is so busy, He doesn’t have time to look meow! Besides, He’s so far away, His signal isn’t good meow!”

Aelioge laughed mockingly, “Don’t just look at Big Brother’s cold exterior, He actually cares about us very much privately, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance He has already noticed our avatar changes, and has kept it in mind.”

The ragdoll cat let out a distressed cry and started rolling in circles on the sofa again.

Aelioge snorted, thinking: want to escape after getting on the bandit ship? No way!

Gusin chuckled, thinking it was good that He hadn’t changed to a cat head.

At this moment, Bachin suddenly gave Gusin a mysterious smile.

Gusin immediately became alert, “Brother Bachin, what are you smiling about?”

Bachin narrowed His eyes.

Gusin sensed a hint of danger, turned to check the mental shared domain, and immediately His expression changed drastically, “Eh? When did I also change to a cat head?”

“I changed it, not allowing you to slip away.”

Bachin smiled, with a dark intention of dragging all demons down with him.

You see, Bachin was the administrator demon of the mental shared domain, so switching things around was nothing but a simple task.

When Gusin heard this, it was as if the sky had fallen. His eyes widened, almost splitting apart on the spot!

Aelioge exclaimed that it was well done, not allowing any demon to distance themselves from this!

Bachin said to Gusin. “You were a knowing demon, and didn’t tell Big Brother immediately, you weren’t innocent to begin with.”

Gusin choked, saying resentfully, “Brother Bachin, I love you so much, yet you treat me like this, your brother is heartbroken.”

Bachin ignored this, instead saying, “How come I never noticed you were this talkative before?”

Gusin used to be a reclusive demon who had almost cut off communication with other demons, or rather lived in His own world every day. Even when talking to other demons, He would only use Himself as the standard.

Gusin seemed to know what Bachin was questioning, and said calmly, “Before I loved abstraction, now I love concrete things. Before I loved the universe and wisdom, now I love each of my brothers and sisters, and most of all, my father.”

The ragdoll cat nearby was shocked upon hearing this, even stopping its rolling, looking at Gusin with huge astonished eyes, extremely touched!

However, Bachin got goosebumps, couldn’t help but criticize internally: What’s with all this love love love, trying to be a warrior of love, huh? I give up on you, you Gen Urobuchi demon.

Moreover, Bachin quickly noticed the key point, “Wait, what do you mean by ‘my father’, you’re clearly being possessive!”

“Huh?” Gusin looked innocent, “Father is indeed my father.”

Bachin became angry, walked up to face Gusin, their foreheads almost touching, and said sternly, “Don’t play word games, don’t monopolize Father!”

Gusin smiled, stepped forward, reducing the distance between Him and Bachin to almost zero, their eyes meeting, and said at extremely close range. “Brother Bachin, being too possessive isn’t good, Father will dislike father complexes.”

Bachin grew even angrier, saying “I told you I don’t have a father complex, Agares is the one with the father complex!”

Gusin exclaimed “Wow,” agreeing. “Agares indeed has a father complex.”

Bachin was dumbfounded, I just said that randomly, you’re taking it seriously?

At this time, Aelioge stepped in to stop their argument.

He turned His gaze toward Gusin, saying in an icy tone, “Love means putting in effort, Gusin, you need to support us when the time comes.”

Aeli Aeli was already allocating battle power!

The ragdoll cat nearby was greatly shocked.

Gusin turned to look at Aelioge, saying, “Aeli Aeli, we can’t be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or an egg hitting a stone.”

Aelioge laughed coldly. “As timid as a mouse, are you even a demon?”

Gusin shook His head, saying mysteriously, “If wisdom is also considered cowardice.”

Aelioge’s gaze was sharp, saying mercilessly, “Whatever the case, with your cat avatar, you’re already an accomplice. Why not start praying now?”

Gusin was greatly saddened, how could He have known that the treacherous Bachin would pull the rug from under His feet?

Valefor watched Them arguing back and forth in their usual way, thinking nevermind, there were still seven days, they’d deal with it then.

“But, how did Big Brother resolve the God of Universe so quickly, what was that situation about?”

Morax asked somewhat confusedly from the side.

He raised a key point. The God of Universe wasn’t some minor god, perhaps not even all the gods of the continent combined could defeat it, yet it was defeated by Big Brother in just a few days. No matter how you thought about it, this was too shocking for demons, completely breaking their understanding.

The demons thus looked toward Bachin.

Bachin nodded, slowly straightened His body, spread His hands like wings, then, an information light orb condensed in His palm, slowly expanding.

The full picture of that cosmic region gradually appeared before the demons’ eyes.

Surrounding Them was a circular scene, spreading out like walls. However, what shocked the demons was that the scene showed only dead emptiness, without even a trace of dust.

The scene kept contracting inward, as if the viewpoint was pulling back, revealing an even more vast and boundless space.

However, even within such a huge area, it remained completely empty, with only electricity flickering faintly in the void.

This cosmic region, which should have contained the God of Universe’s divine kingdom spanning across stars, had now vanished without a trace, as if it had been erased.

No detection method could find even a trace in this void, not even the tiniest speck of dust could be captured.

The remaining demon power within had gathered into the most violent energy storm in the universe, any creature daring to approach would face the danger of being pulverized, both form and spirit destroyed!

Bachin continued retrieving information, analyzing, “It seems they were evenly matched in battle at first, but then Big Brother suddenly got serious, and the battle ended.”

Hey hey, don’t make it sound so easy, was the God of Universe an opponent that could be dealt with just by getting serious? Doesn’t the God of Universe need to save face!

The corners of all the demons’ mouths twitched slightly.

Aelioge had the biggest reaction, immediately asking, “Why did Big Brother suddenly get serious?”

Bachin was retrieving information, but from every angle it was too far away, making the information images too blurry. This couldn’t be helped, as all nearby cameras were destroyed, and His authority was [Space] not void recording.

Bachin thought for a moment, stroking His chin saying, “Maybe He discovered something.”

Aelioge’s whole body trembled violently, almost showing the expression of “The Scream” famous painting, His hands shakily raised, frozen in mid-air, voice weak as He said, “Did Big Brother discover we were hiding things from Him?”

Bachin turned His gaze, meeting Aelioge’s eyes, saying calmly, “Don’t know, perhaps He did, otherwise He wouldn’t return to the continent so quickly.”

Aelioge held His breath.

Bachin teased. “Weren’t you well-prepared just now? Scared now?”

Aelioge paused slightly, then laughed. “Scared? How could I be scared? It’s not like I haven’t fought Big Brother before, it’s nothing special, okay? I am the God of War concept, no one understands war better than me!”

Yeah right, Trump Aeli. Not just Bachin, all present demons shook their heads.

At this moment, another voice suddenly appeared in the living room.

“Could it be because of me.”

As soon as the words fell, their Third Brother Vassago silently appeared in the center of the living room, wearing black clothes that looked particularly solemn, seemingly formal at first glance, but upon closer inspection of the cuffs and collar, it was clear He just threw them on casually, His whole being spelled out laziness in capital letters, clothes loose and baggy, if not for His figure and bearing, His whole form would definitely look terrible.

“Third Brother?”

Aelioge paused, surprise flashing in His eyes.

How did Vassago suddenly appear?

All demons looked at Vassago together.

Even Buer was dumbfounded, immediately sitting up.

Moreover…

Aelioge asked on behalf of all demons. “Why do you say it’s because of you?”

Vassago found an empty seat and sat down, rubbing His nose, His tone carrying some apologetic notes, saying, “Well, when my authority awakened, I seem to have accidentally glanced at Big Brother, and He noticed.”

Aelioge’s fist instantly hardened, “What? Big Brother saw you?”

“Yes, Big Brother and I made eye contact.”

Vassago confessed.

Aelioge drew in a sharp breath, well well, so you’re the criminal demon who attracted Big Brother’s attention!

Aelioge gritted His teeth, and here He thought His conspiracy… no! His plan was foolproof. Turns out the leak was Third Brother!

Vassago comforted. “It’s fine, I’ll help out when the time comes. Haven’t fought with Big Brother in a long time, let’s test the intensity.”

The ultimate energy-saving lazy demon Third Brother actually saying such words one day.

The demons looked at Him with new eyes, while also gaining some confidence.

Aelioge’s anger subsided somewhat, His gaze deep as He said, “Wait, speaking of which, why did you suddenly come here?”

It couldn’t be that He came specifically to confess, right?

Vassago’s smile faded, His expression becoming serious as He answered, “Bringing Inpos to find memories.”

Bachin sat back on the sofa, rubbing His eyes, “Oh, the Primordial God of Humans’ memories, right?”

Everyone had seen the group information update, naturally those who understood knew, Inpos was the Primordial God of Humans, this was almost certain now.

Vassago nodded, His gaze thoughtful.

At this time, Valefor stepped forward, asking with concern. “Third Brother, how is Inpos doing now?”

Vassago confirmed the situation with Inpos, then answered Valefor. “Inpos is doing okay. Not unable to accept it.”

Aelioge asked directly, “So does Inpos know? The position of the Primordial God of Humans back then, and what They did and didn’t do?”

“Let Inpos tell it.”

Vassago stood up, His gaze turning to His side.

A flash of white light appeared, revealing the outline of a door, then the door opened. Three seconds later, Inpos walked out from the void.

They weren’t much different, Their expression was calm, as usual. Perhaps earlier They had just scared Themselves, only realizing after actually going through it that it wasn’t much, like watching a movie – as long as one’s self-awareness was strong, they could remain stable and unaffected.

Inpos’s gaze was lowered, as if thinking about something, only raising His eyes after several seconds, slowly looking at His siblings in the monitoring hall.

His gaze held a sense of nostalgia, like reuniting after a long separation. This was natural – remembering was also experiencing, recalling the history of the Primordial God of Humans was equivalent to living through Their life, when the memories ended, you inevitably felt like you’d crossed through time.

It was as if He had finally regained the sense of “now.”

Valefor felt relieved.

In this situation, they couldn’t rush, they had to wait for Inpos to slowly regain His state.

They watched as Inpos found a nearby seat and sat down, His gaze deep and complex.

He rarely showed such an expression, making both Buer and Morax worried when they saw it.

What exactly had Inpos seen, was the truth from back then really that terrible?

The demons exchanged glances, perhaps all had their guesses, but none said much.

Ten minutes later, Inpos finally stirred, slowly raising His head.

“How is it, Inpos.”

Aelioge finally couldn’t help but ask.

Inpos nodded, took a deep breath, and said, “I selectively recovered some memories, successfully obtaining part of the truth from the Primordial God of Humans’ perspective.”

Good, starting with good news!

The demons were all expectant.

Inpos organized His thoughts while speaking, “Regarding the Sage Tower incident, the Primordial God of Humans indeed knew about it, They allowed the situation to develop because humans needed the power of the Evil of the Universe, needed evil as a driving force.”
