After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 120.1
The little black bird was electrocuted by the thunder that Big Brother brought along!
At this moment, two cats poked their heads out from the corner and witnessed the little black bird’s misfortune.
The gray cat shook its head, thinking, “This stupid little brother, our Big Brother is a mighty tiger with the power of thunder and lightning. It’s already quite lucky that he wasn’t struck by lightning when suddenly sticking close. What an overly familiar little bird chick.”
The little black bird was numbed by electricity, spinning dizzily. However, since it was black itself, Xiu Si’s gaze shifted and he didn’t notice its condition.
And the big golden tiger seemed to have not noticed either.
The little white bird on the floor looked at the little black bird and called it a stupid bird. But as the little black bird was spinning and about to crash into it, the little white bird had no choice but to reluctantly catch the little black bird.
At this moment, the big golden tiger finally seemed to notice the situation below. His majestic tiger eyes slowly lowered, seeing the little white bird hugging the little black bird – a sibling love scene of a white furball hugging a black furball.
The big golden tiger stared: “……”
Then, He tilted His head, seemingly somewhat surprised.
Meanwhile, Xiu Si, completely unaware of the corner’s situation, continued introducing the new cubs.
“She is a little light body.”
As his words fell, a little light body truly appeared in midair. She was a rare human infant form, entirely white as snow, glowing brightly, with a large halo behind Her head, completely unaffected by gravity, floating like a feather.
Upon appearing and seeing the mighty golden tiger, the little light body’s first reaction was fear, quickly shrinking into Her father’s arms!
Xiu Si held the little light body in his arms, lowered his eyes, and introduced. “She is a child I adopted. Her biological father is another god, called Otherworld God Number 007, also known as the God of Time? I’m not entirely clear about the specific circumstances. At that time, She was left with only one thought, and I couldn’t leave Her unattended, so I adopted Her.”
He simply explained the situation.
To this, the big golden tiger’s eyes lowered, seemingly flickering with a hint of darkness. Regarding His father’s habit of picking up children, His and Agares’s attitude had always been…
“Lastly, there is Her.”
Xiu Si conjured a small black cloud from his palm like magic, smiling, “She should be Otherworld God Number 002, also called the God of Curses? I don’t know why She just followed me. The situation at that time was quite dangerous.”
The small black cloud stayed in Xiu Si’s palm, timidly looking at the big golden tiger, the tiny droplets of rain seemingly expressing Her mood.
The moment the tiger eyes locked onto Her, She was also frightened and shrank into Xiu Si’s arms, with the little light body on one side.
Observing this, the two cats subtly felt nervous.
The recovery of the little light body and small black cloud was accompanied by danger. Big Brother might get angry after hearing the specific details.
But fortunately, the big golden tiger didn’t say anything. He just suddenly moved closer, His massive tiger head almost buried in front of Xiu Si.
Xiu Si was slightly surprised, then reached out to gently stroke the big golden tiger’s back of the neck, softly saying in His ear, “What’s wrong.”
The big golden tiger was laconic, perhaps because His voice would be accompanied by thunderous power. Speaking would scare non-peak-level creatures within thousands of miles, and in the past, He often scared His brothers and sisters into trembling, even to the point of crying. Now He rarely spoke.
But Xiu Si could always discern some of His emotions from His slight reactions, like now.
“Mm, I know. I didn’t go into danger. Yes, I will prioritize my own safety, so don’t worry too much.”
Xiu Si gently patted the tiger’s back, his eyes soft as water, flashing with countless memories.
“As soon as I came out of the Abyss, I wanted to find you, but They all said you were hard to find in the subspace.”
“I was planning to level up and get stronger before looking for you in the subspace, but unexpectedly, you found me first.”
The two small cubs, though small, seemed to understand the atmosphere, so they very cleverly ran back into the system.
The black and white birds were left facing each other, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes.
Wasn’t there a feeling of not wanting to disturb something? After peeking for a few seconds, the black and white birds also ran back into the system.
At this moment, in the corner.
The small gray cat next door opened its eyes wide. It had been a long time since it saw its father and Big Brother’s intimate interaction. It really wanted to record this scene!
But thinking about Big Brother’s terrifying nature, the gray cat hesitated to act.
However, the gray cat realized that Aelioge’s worry was quite reasonable. As soon as Big Brother returned, they would no longer be able to intervene between their father and Big Brother. Without mentioning anything else, just looking at the size, such a large tiger almost entirely surrounded Father, completely leaving no space for them small cats to get close. How could they approach? What if they were just flattened by the big tiger when trying to get near?
Damn the difference in body size!
The gray cat was so angry that it was about to stomp its foot, constantly complaining internally.
Big brother, you’re way too domineering! You’re almost never leaving, as if you want to stick together, not giving us younger brothers any chance.
You want to monopolize our father every single moment, don’t you!
The gray cat gradually became resentful, and at that moment, He received a private call from His fifth brother Marbas, accompanied by a large amount of information about the Creator God.
He opened it and was stunned for a while, His limited brain almost unable to process it. What Creator God, what Evil of the Universe, and who was their father?!
“S-so…”
The gray cat’s brain was in chaos. What was the purpose of the Evil of the Universe, what was the purpose of the Creator God? What thoughts did They have about their father?
The gray cat passed out. The same information was also received by the short-legged cat. He was immediately stupefied, with question marks visibly floating above His head.
“Don’t understand meow, don’t understand meow…”
The short-legged cat raised His paw in surrender, sitting down on the ground, shocked by the information.
The world of the great demon was too complicated. The gray cat looked sympathetically at the short-legged cat, thinking: It’s not that we’re stupid, it’s that this world is too complex! The gods outside all have ill intentions towards our father meow.
But Marbas was actually considerate, having anticipated that They would not understand, so He warmly made some notes.
“I know you don’t understand, just look at those assumptions, the key is what to do next.”
Marbas kindly used a mischievous expression pack.
The gray cat pulled Himself together and continued reading.
He saw that Marbas directly gave a conclusion, dividing tasks, “Cele, you take care of our father, don’t worry about anything else.”
“Inpos, you have the memory of the Primordial God of Humans, and you are also the Primordial God of Humans. You should know best what a ‘Primordial God’ is. Try to communicate with Lelagin and understand the matters of the Elven Ancestor God. Lelagin should know about the Creator God’s situation.”
The gray cat listened with a serious expression, suddenly showing a determination to complete the mission.
Marbas said, “First, we need to confirm – was the will that once entangled with our father the Creator God Himself? You and Lelagin should verify this, understand?”
The gray cat struggled to digest this, then nodded, asking, “But didn’t our four elder brothers also live on the continent when they were young, without feeling anything?”
Marbas said: “Big Brother and Second Brother perhaps knew, but Vassago was mostly sleeping back then and can’t be relied on. Samikina was too young at the time and said He didn’t know.”
The gray cat choked up, “Is that so.”
Before the words were fully out, He was already recalling the memories of the Primordial God of Humans.
Marbas continued, “So it’s up to you, little Inpos.”
The gray cat got goosebumps, “What little Inpos, Fifth Brother, you’re too mushy!”
But it seemed like His complaints were invisible to the other side.
The message showed as unread, probably disconnected.
Unable to contact at any time. After all, the Infinite Trial theoretically cannot communicate externally. Fifth Brother must have used some special method.
…However, the Elven race.
The gray cat fell into deep thought, stroking His chin, muttering to Himself, “The Elven Ancestor God was the most perfect creation in the ‘Creator God’s’ eyes…”
In a certain sense, He seemed to understand why Lelagin had been so sensitive before.
It was like living well with a loving father, and suddenly someone tells you that you were adopted, and your real father is a scumbag.
How could you accept that?
Having a mental breakdown seemed entirely normal.
He hoped Gusin’s information was incorrect. Otherwise, He felt Lelagin might never want to recover this memory.
The gray cat pondered briefly, then looked up and immediately widened His eyes in great shock.
On the wooden floor of the courtyard, a magnificent golden tiger was intimately lying on top of a person, almost pinning them down.
Clearly weighing as much as dozens of stars, yet miraculously feeling like just a large marshmallow, gently covering someone.
The big golden tiger didn’t even let His tail rest, also clinging and wrapping around!
Who could imagine that the mighty Demon God Baal, who punches gods of the universe and kicks massive stars, would be like this in front of His father!
Damn Big Brother, Father might get crushed!
What demon could stop Big Brother from doing whatever He wanted to Father?
The gray cat screamed internally, and the intimate contact did not stop there.
This scene looked like—
A fierce tiger attacking! A fierce tiger absorbing!
What a golden cream topping! Isn’t Big Brother being too unbridled? He wasn’t like this before, why so domineering now?
Although they had finally reunited and were excited, this was still too much. In broad daylight, in front of the younger siblings!
The gray cat clenched His paws, anger bottled up inside, secretly determining to snatch His position from the Big Brother’s claws, not letting Him continue to monopolize Father!
Even little cats have their kitty dignity. A mere big tiger absolutely cannot be unbeatable!
The gray cat angrily punched and kicked the air in frustration.
However, this was also because Inpos was excited for the first time, rebellious thoughts impossible to suppress.
At this moment, the gray cat wished Second Brother was here. If Second Brother were present, He could definitely restrain Big Brother!
And— Father! Don’t just keep laughing, don’t get lost in the furry temptation, push away His paws and His wild tail! Wait, how come Big Brother’s tail seems as thick as His own neck?
Wuwu, the gray cat was about to split apart, internally sorrowful. Father’s eyes contained only Big Brother, completely uncaring and even happy.
Father, aren’t you being too indulgent to Big Brother!
Between the big fluffy and small fluffy, was the former indeed better?
The sad strategic mistake made the gray cat lose advantage, can only bite a small handkerchief with a resentful face. Jealousy truly transformed His demeanor.
He was still alright. If Botis and the extreme father-complex party were here, they would definitely be crying, making a fuss, and shouting to fight.
The gray cat turned away resentfully, pulling the short-legged cat, “Let’s go, Cele, we’re going to Lelagin.”
The short-legged cat was still in a daze, His gaze subtly darkening, with possessiveness surging deep in His eyes.
The gray cat was greatly shocked, thinking: Look what Big Brother has done, almost bringing out the darkness in Cele.
“Big Brother is too excessive, isn’t He? I understand too.”
The gray cat pulled the short-legged cat’s paw, saying, “We’re going to ask Lelagin some things.”
The short-legged cat lowered His head, slowly shifting His gaze, seemingly just realizing, softly meowing.
Good, successfully suppressing the “darkness”.
Good Cele, you must not learn from that domineering big tiger!
The gray cat took His brother away, arriving at the pile of cat nests in the bedroom, first glancing around before walking to the Devon Rex cat.
It was now the Devon Rex cat’s nap time, generally not to be disturbed.
But disturbing once wouldn’t matter, right?
The gray cat walked to the cat nest, first calling softly, getting no response, then calling louder.
The Devon Rex cat slowly blinked, revealing a pair of emerald elf eyes, full of confusion, taking a while to look at Them.
“Hmm…”
The Devon Rex cat sat up from the cat nest, pure white curly fur transparent and beautiful in the sunlight.
The gray cat couldn’t help but comment: Indeed worthy of a cat breed that would make Tom crazy, truly beautiful!
But compared to this, the main business was most important.
The gray cat asked, “Lelagin, are you okay?”
The Devon Rex cat was slow to respond, taking several seconds to understand.
“How are your memories?”
The gray cat leaned over, patting the Devon Rex cat’s forehead with His paw, carrying a comforting meaning, using a bit of magic.
The Devon Rex cat nodded, slowly answering, “Partially recovered.”
The gray cat felt relieved, softly asking, “What’s the earliest thing you can remember?”
“…The time of the abyss.”
The Devon Rex cat’s voice was very low.
“Can’t recall the memories of the Elven Ancestor God at all?”
“Mm.”
The Devon Rex cat furrowed His brow, His eyes revealing a hint of rejection, seemingly more unwilling to remember than unable to recall.
The gray cat hesitated, then directly asked, “Do you know about the Creator God?”
The Devon Rex cat paused, His pupils trembling, clearly knowing something.
The gray cat said, “Don’t be afraid, think slowly. I just want to know what the Creator God was like in your… Elven Ancestor God’s perspective.”
“…”
The Devon Rex cat lowered His head, appearing to fall into deep thought.
The gray cat waited patiently, “It’s okay, no rush, take your time.”
The short-legged cat looked worried, glancing around.
After several minutes, the Devon Rex cat slowly spoke, “Seems like I’ve seen Him, a long time ago.”
As He spoke, His eyes were like turbulent waves, filled with turmoil.
The gray cat knew that recalling one’s past was a difficult and painful thing, but He also knew they couldn’t keep avoiding it and must face it directly.
Whether good or bad, not acknowledging the past meant being unable to move forward.
So, the gray cat firmly continued, “What did you feel about Him?”
“…”
The Devon Rex cat lowered His eyes, His expression full of sadness, “He was, once, very gentle… but then He changed.”
The gray cat was stunned, “Once gentle? Then He changed?”
Such a short sentence contained incredibly significant information.
“…Yes, He later became very strange. I, we, increasingly failed to understand Him.”
The Devon Rex cat spoke, His eyes reddening, seeming deeply pained by this.
The gray cat and the short-legged cat exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
What was this all about?
Regardless, the gray cat first organized the information. Lelagin’s memory first confirmed one thing: the Creator God did exist, and He seemed to have been a good god who later changed.
