After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 13

Facing Vassago’s question, Philip instinctively nodded. He was so overwhelmed that he could hardly speak, his mind almost in chaos, but he was still thinking to the limit.

Abyss Lords usually appeared as projections, rarely moving around in their true form, yet the one in front of him was actually in his true form.

What on earth had happened? What exactly had alarmed the Abyss Lord? Were the Abyss Lords fighting each other?

Vassago didn’t care what he was thinking, he just squinted his eyes, analyzing the contract on Philip.

Philip also instinctively sensed it, then his face was full of astonishment, because–Aelioge had unilaterally terminated the contract!

Huh? Huh?

No, no way? Philip’s mouth twitched, as a person who became a legion commander at a young age, he had seen big winds and waves, but he was still caught off guard and stunned.

Could an Abyss Lord unilaterally terminate the contract? Wait, why?

“Heh.”

Seeing the contract terminated, Vassago suddenly showed a relieved smile.

He understood Aelioge’s actions. If he had found father’s clues first, he would definitely keep it a secret. But it wasn’t him!

The chaotic black magic power exploded like a web, covering the Aust Empire’s Imperial City, and even the farther heavens and earth.

Countless people were shocked by the sudden magic power.

The great magician of the tower was dumbfounded, about to urgently resolve the anomaly, only to find out it was an Abyss Lord, and even the third-ranked Vassago! They immediately stopped in their tracks, their faces drastically changed.

No, the third-ranked Abyss Lord, and even the true body descended, who in this city could fight him? Even if we all went out, it wouldn’t be enough, right?

After the tower, the military was also about to move but stopped.

At the same time, the Empress sensed the anomaly and looked outside curiously.

Prince Torila, who was in the same room, sensed an unprecedented terrifying magic power, his body hair stood on end, and he couldn’t help but tremble.

He was confused, why had so many Abyss Lords come to the empire recently? Although he knew that they “looked down on people” and didn’t care about humans at all, such frequent actions were definitely not right!

Prince Torila, who was young, had suffered too much!

On the other side, the hero Luo Jie, who was in the room closing his eyes and trying to regain his peak state through special means, also opened his eyes.

He had seen the grand history of gods and demons, and he was shocked at this moment.

Why did the gentle and lazy Abyss Lord Vassago suddenly come to the Aust Empire, and he wanted to find Aelioge? What did Aelioge do?

****

On the other side, at this moment.

The Divine Kingdom of Light was on its way to the Aust Empire.

Archangel Achilles stood in front of the white palace, his eyes cold, staring at the land of the Aust Empire from a distance, but in an instant, the terrifying magic power covered the sky and the sun, causing everything in sight to turn gray.

Achilles immediately stopped, cold sweat fell from his forehead, his eyes trembled violently, and the wings behind him subconsciously retracted, completely different from his previous arrogance.

For a full 3 minutes, he kept his body straight, alert to the extreme.

When the magic power was withdrawn and the sky and earth returned to normal color, he relaxed his guard, and when he reacted, he seemed to be angry and ashamed, his face turned green and white, and he couldn’t help but curse.

“Abyss Lord, a half-hanging creation without a master, dare to challenge the gods, and dare to confront the Divine Kingdom!”

In the Gods Era, the gods fought, and the war heated up to the end. Most of the gods were severely injured, even annihilated, and had to withdraw from the historical stage. The abyss demons came to the top, and the continent ushered in the Demons Era.

No matter how powerful the abyss demons are, they also come from the dirty abyss, and they are not in the same class as their god-created creatures with masters!

After 303 years of the Human Era, many fallen gods gradually revived, and the Divine Kingdom reappeared. How could they tolerate the monkeys occupying the continent, even if they often live in the Divine Kingdom in the sky, they don’t need and will never set foot on the earth, so as not to be polluted by dust, but they can’t tolerate it!

Achilles stomped his foot in anger, and his divine power almost got out of control. He didn’t withdraw, he still drove the Divine Kingdom to the Aust Empire.

In these thousands of years, the Divine Kingdom had just revived, and the world had forgotten the horror of divine power. These lowly creatures dared to be so presumptuous. He wanted to establish his prestige, he wanted the whole world and even the entire subspace to know that their father, the God of Light, was the God of all gods above all gods.

Achilles lifted his chin, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of viciousness.

The Aust Empire, and the Abyss Lord who sheltered the Aust Empire, must all be destroyed!

****

On the other side.

The large-scale magic power fluctuation not only shocked the Aust Empire, but also the neighboring countries. Several kings noticed this extraordinary magic power.

Xiu Si, of course, also noticed the movement. He was reading a book, turned his head to look, the water in the cup was surging, and the table and chairs also made a slight trembling sound.

What happened?

But with such a big movement, the empire did not issue an alarm. Does it mean there is no security threat?

Xiu Si pondered in his heart, not knowing why, that magic power, although terrifying and full of tyranny, inexplicably made people miss it.

“…..”

Just as he was about to continue thinking, two soft cat paws pressed on his arm.

Xiu Si lowered his head and met a pair of emerald eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

He touched the cat’s head.

Aelioge was concentrating on resisting Vassago’s magic power.

It had to be said, the pressure was somewhat great. If it was only Vassago, that would be fine, but Morax and Inpos were also there.

Vassago, in particular, was clearly a melancholic shut-in who slept all day, yet he had come out. At this moment, he was directly standing in the sky above the Imperial City of the Aust Empire, his magic power obscuring the sun and the sky.

You socially anxious shut-in demon, why don’t you just stay at home!

Aelioge was unyielding, refusing to give up easily even when pursued to his doorstep.

Xiu Si didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he looked very serious, perhaps he was trying to level up?

Wait, if his own cub was working hard, how could he fall behind.

Xiu Si paused for a moment, quickly cheered up, only read half of the history book, and then opened the game system.

In a crisis, he couldn’t be so Buddha-like. (TL: used colloquially to describe a very relaxed or indifferent attitude.)

He had always been a Buddha-like in character, his emotional stability remained unchanged even in the perverted era of the gods’ melee, even if there was a high probability that he would die tomorrow and face absolute despair, he would hardly say anything discouraging, he would even comfort other heroes younger than him, like the big brother in the seven-man group. Knowing that leveling up couldn’t be rushed, he was never in a hurry, always steady.

Cough, can’t think about the past. Xiu Si shook his head and focused on the game panel.

It was known that learning magic and using magic power was beneficial for system updates, and at the same time, his own experience increased, thanks to the proficiency and improvement of creation skills.

The former required self-study of magic, with magic books brought by the library, learning had knowledge to rely on, but magic learning valued talent, his own magic talent…

Xiu Si paused, sighed, in the past he didn’t want to learn magic, but his magic talent point was an astonishing 1 point.

In the words of the game system, it was “a lifetime of hard study of magic, but it is impossible to break through level 3” extremely low magic potential.

One should know, in the other world, the magic talent point of a random passerby could reach 3 points.

And he was only 1 point, in a sense, it was also considered rare.

But having said that, how could he learn magic after he woke up this time.

Xiu Si came back to his senses and found that he could completely perceive the operation of magic power in his body, which was almost impossible before. In the past, although his body was woven by magic power, the magic power never obeyed him, just like ordinary people can’t command the cells on their body, but now he actually did it, running magic power, like gradually controlling the flow of his own blood, and the respiration and metabolism of cells, controlling the energy in his body.

“So that’s how it is.”

Xiu Si, who foresaw but realized later, thought it should be a blessing in disguise. Unconsciously, some kind of lock that restricted him was unlocked.

He tried to click on the status bar of his magic talent, thinking there would be no movement, but something unexpected happened.

The value fixed at “1” suddenly added 1, becoming “2”.

Xiu Si was taken aback, he continued to click, but did not wish to add 1 again, as if there was not enough experience value, he needed to accumulate the corresponding experience value through learning magic.

This was absolutely an outrageous thing.

In Xiu Si’s cognition, among all the values, only the talent value was absolutely unchangeable, it could never change in a lifetime, it was said that even the gods could not change it, yet his own value had changed.

What on earth was going on? Xiu Si was stunned, he couldn’t figure it out himself, so he kept his doubts in his heart for the time being, continued to learn and familiarize himself with the operation of magic power, trying to make it as natural as breathing, rather than needing to consciously control it.

Xiu Si thought clearly, at the same time, he also opened the system panel of creation, created a new file with a thought, and began to concentrate.

Unlike other players, the advantage of the Creator’s profession was that he didn’t need to fight and kill to gain experience, he could accumulate experience through skill training. The antique shop had no customers, and he, as the front desk, couldn’t be more idle.

He concentrated, his eyes half-closed, motionless, as if meditating.

The cat thought he had been reading, but after a while, he didn’t hear the sound of turning pages, and only when he looked up did he realize that his father was leveling up.

At this, Aelioge was also a little puzzled. By rights, their levels would become their father’s experience, but their levels were so high now, how could their father still be an ordinary human.

His cat’s eyes moved, and he thought, he should at least have become a god, right?

Thinking of this, Aelioge couldn’t help but be happy for his father, however, the moment his mind relaxed, he was caught by Vassago.

At this moment, the black-haired youth in the sky suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shot directly towards the central area of the Imperial City.

He laughed, disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he had already walked to the front of the antique shop.

Vassago knew, father was just behind this door!!
