After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 132.2

God itself had no weight, but God would always have weight – the weight of emotions.

Arnolo said, “From what I know of my father, He must be extremely angry at Agares’s actions right now.”

The God of Transformation gazed ahead and slowly said, “Indeed, no one wishes to be manipulated by others, especially those supreme beings. But He sent Death and Silence and failed, what else could He do?”

“Sending Death and Silence was probably because He could only control those two at that time. He has many creations, with thousands just in the first echelon. It would take time for Them to come here, but it shouldn’t take too long.”

Arnolo knew the Creator God’s situation like the back of His hand.

The God of Transformation’s eyes were grave. “Will this be the most intense universal war in history?”

“Probably. Which side will you stand on?”

“Neutral.”

“A God of Transformation that doesn’t change, how meaningless.”

“……”

“Just watch. Perhaps we’ll witness an unexpected truth.”

Arnolo slowly stood up, brushing off the sand and gravel from His body.

At the same time, the sky above His head shifted, the stars moved, and the entire universe changed in an instant.

Everything seemed to be accelerated, but amid the acceleration was chaos.

It was as if someone had angrily flipped a table.

Meanwhile, in a remote area of subspace.

“Barbatos, can you hear my voice?”

“Barbatos, I’m here!”

Bachin called out anxiously hundreds of times, but Barbatos didn’t respond.

The situation’s gravity was almost written on the surface.

Valefor appeared beside Him and said in a deep voice. “Don’t panic, stay calm.”

“Barbatos’s power can connect all things. Theoretically, She should be able to escape immediately no matter what happens.” Bachin lowered His head in thought, then turned to Valefor and said: “Last time She was trapped in the God of Chaos, this time……”

“Trust in Barbatos, and trust in Sitri.”

Valefor said calmly, “Fourth Brother said the Creator God has already emerged. That matter was all within Agares’s expectations, so we don’t need to worry. Let’s just do what we can do. Tell me how I can help you?”

Bachin looked into Valefor’s eyes, then nodded.

“I’ve already searched this area, all that’s left is……”

****

Almost simultaneously, in the white tower within the dream.

An unknown amount of time had passed, possibly months, years, or even decades.

Xiu Si sometimes thought, sometimes zoned out. Without realizing it, he had read all the books in the entire tower.

However, when he turned the last page, an indescribable emptiness welled up in his heart. So, he left the giant tower and began wandering around the city, starting an aimless journey on foot.

His footsteps covered every corner of the city, as if measuring this land through walking. However, no matter where he went, that emptiness still lingered in his heart.

Until one day, he came to a sloping grassland. Looking up at the sky, he slowly lay down on the grass, and again time passed peacefully.

Time had flowed, yet it seemed as if it hadn’t completely passed.

“……No clue.”

Xiu Si became increasingly confused, repeatedly pondering one question in his mind: how should one walk their own path properly?

That said, why do people need to walk at all? This was quite a philosophical question.

Xiu Si lay in the grass, his gaze fixed on the sky, countless images flashing through his mind, especially remembering the moments when his cubs were born.

He remembered when the eldest cub Baal was born, He was only as big as a palm, consciousness just awakening, trying to recognize His surroundings, His soft paws stepping back and forth on his palm.

The day the second cub was born left a deep impression on him. It was on a grassland, where the sky was rarely without any stars, vast yet bright, then suddenly the aurora appeared, as if the entire earth was singing.

Just as he raised his eyes, Agares was born before him. Wrapped in silver light, divinely sacred, every small movement was breathtaking.

Third cub Vassago was silent, sleeping since birth, only beginning to move after seven days. He was very worried at the time, wondering if there was something wrong with His body, but was then reassured by the second cub.

Fourth cub Samikina was very quiet when born, slowly opening His eyes, staring unblinkingly only at him.

Fifth cub Marbas had a very loud voice, crying non-stop since birth, quite similar to human babies, which actually made him feel relieved, remarking that finally one was normal.

Sixth cub Valefor could smile right after birth, with very beautiful dimples.

Seventh cub Amon was a bit mischievous, could grab things right after birth, and wanted to play games with him when only about seven days old. He let the seventh cub sleep with the fifth cub, but the seventh cub wasn’t happy and kept kicking the fifth cub. He only realized later that there was no choice but to let the seventh cub come to his side. The seventh cub was very happy at first, but for some reason left after actually coming over – perhaps because He wasn’t used to the eldest cub’s temperature?

Eighth cub Barbatos was gentle and lovely since young, looking back with every step forward. Sometimes when he couldn’t find Her, She would return wearing a flower crown, wanting to put one on him too – haha, such a good child.

Xiu Si continued remembering, the smile in his eyes growing deeper.

Ninth cub Paimon was very energetic since young, could throw punches when only ten days old, initially only practicing on the fifth cub, later seeming to target the eldest cub.

Tenth cub Buer could pounce on people right after birth, lively and lovely, grew up to love talking, steadily being the mood maker among family members.

Eleventh cub Gusin was a bit slow, with delayed reactions, often scared to tears by His brothers and sisters even though They didn’t do anything.

Twelfth cub Sitri could call ‘father’ right after birth, grew up to be more clingy, might be somewhat tsundere? But also a very lovely child.

Thirteenth cub Beleth loved music, mostly quiet, occasionally revealing His true nature by breaking into song.

Fourteenth cub Lelagin was delicate and beautiful like an elf, unfortunately had poor eyesight when first born.

Fifteenth cub Aelioge was smart since young, but had a timid personality, often following behind him, later was taken by the eldest cub for upgrading.

Sixteenth cub Zepar was an exceptionally confident child, carefree and unrestrained, often causing trouble that angered His other brothers and sisters, only coming to find him after being beaten.

He didn’t like the children fighting among themselves, but Zepar, this child, how to put it, was indeed too troublesome. He had to be strict with Him, though He seemed completely unconcerned.

Seventeenth cub Botis was the clingiest child, only loved hanging on him all day long, especially during winter hibernation days, and after growing up…… seemed to haven’t changed at all.

Eighteenth cub Bachin was a relatively quiet child, occasionally saying surprising things, with strong insight.

Nineteenth cub Celerios was good in every way, too good actually, without any temper, trembling in fear before trolls – he was very worried about Cele during that incident.

Twentieth cub Busson was good at lying flat since young, perhaps influenced by him – when he was a corporate slave, he occasionally had thoughts of lying flat and slacking off.

Twenty-first cub Morax was rather simple, loved playing with balls since childhood, perhaps having a special fondness for spherical things.

Twenty-second cub Inpos could speak human language right after birth, and very standard at that, which scared him at the time.

Twenty-third cub little Ayni was lively, Her personality remained completely unchanged after growing up.

Twenty-fourth cub Beelzebub, wait, should He be ranked twenty-fourth?

Xiu Si paused, “Let’s rank it this way for now?”

The later Little White Bird, Little Black Bird were also lovely, though unfortunately he didn’t have much time to take care of Them. Little Light Body…… recently stopped needing milk, weight probably tripled since birth, growing up healthy and well. Little Cloud was an unexpected child, somewhat silly, but should gradually develop intelligence later.

The two newly joined children, he hoped They could integrate well too. Their family couldn’t guarantee everything, but liveliness was absolutely guaranteed.

Countless memories floated through Xiu Si’s mind as he thought and smiled, his eyes brimming with a father’s unique happiness.

They were truly all good children. So good that he had to reflect on himself – had he become a father that the children could be proud of?

“Seems not yet, still confused about the path ahead.”

Xiu Si muttered to himself, but his mood had improved, gradually losing his confusion.

Did one’s path have to be innovative? Did it have to be particularly special? Not necessarily, right? Couldn’t one just follow their initial thoughts?

Xiu Si traced back to what his original intention for creation was.

After a few minutes, the answer emerged like a pearl polished from sand, gradually rising to the surface, glowing brilliantly.

–To respond to those voices.

He felt his creation was essentially a kind of response.

Perhaps at first he just followed the creator’s profession, doing what he could with whatever ability he had, beginning his attempts in a daze, but as he created more and more, he gradually developed his own ideas.

Or rather, his own persistence.

Wanting to help Them, give Them who were drifting without dependence a place to belong.

Would this be considered cheap kindness like that of a pushover? Would others say he had nothing but gentleness? It didn’t matter how others saw it – good person, bad person, real person, fake person, whatever – at this point, why care about others’ views?

Xiu Si shook his head. No matter what, even if he would suffer extremely terrible betrayal in the end, he believed kindness itself wasn’t wrong.

The only thing that didn’t quite match was that he, as just an ordinary being, actually wanted to maintain kindness towards all things as much as possible.

All things – what a vast concept.

Just thinking about it made one’s soul tremble.

However, that was in the past. Xiu Si’s expression was calm, his thoughts seeming to transcend the material world, entering another realm.

An unknown amount of time passed, the grass beside him had already grown lush and thick, while he still lay there quietly, as if isolated from the world.

However, one morning, light flickered in his eyes, and he slowly straightened his body.

At the same time, the grass around him bloomed with flowers, competing to blossom, as if nature was celebrating this moment of his awakening.

Then, the system promptly announced.

[Warm congratulations! Your profession level has successfully broken through to level 90, and your creator profession compatibility has reached an amazing 94%!]

Xiu Si felt his various stats rapidly increasing, not surprised, just finding it somewhat incredible.

At this moment, his perception was unprecedentedly powerful, as if the entire dream was within his control. He could walk through every angle of the city with just a thought, instantly seeing countless faces.

Not just information perception, but also information processing – his computing power increased dramatically, and his power of creation was even more unparalleled. With just a thought, he could scan the entire city and then effortlessly replicate it.

He could also choose not to replicate, but imagine and design to create an entire city on his own.

Thoughts becoming reality, but how could just a city be enough? Castles in the air couldn’t last long, he had to create more, build an entire ecosystem. It sounded like making dumplings just for the vinegar, but what did that matter.

Create freely, create to heart’s content, respond to the voices of the world.

****

The dream corresponded to reality.

At this moment, his sleeping body in reality faintly emitted light.

The Devon Rex cat poked its head out from its cat bed, staring blankly at this scene. It sensed an extraordinary change and felt elated.

At the same time, the God of Transformation also sensed this change, and in shock, turned to look at Arnolo.

Arnolo, no, should be Arnold. He suddenly shed tears, unclear whether from joy or sorrow.

In the Infinite Trial, the demon group once again sensed it.

Aelioge suddenly raised His head, His eyes full of joy.

“That’s great!”

As Father grew stronger, They would grow stronger too. This time it was like adding the highest level buff, all attribute values doubled, even their divine rank increased!

Not just Them, but Little White Bird, Little Black Bird, Little Cloud, and even Little Light Body felt the enhancement, and even more distantly, Little Light Body’s father, Big Light Body.

At this time, Big Light Body stood on the golden torrent, looking down at the golden particles floating on Its body. Their appearance meant Its “upgrade.”

It hadn’t “upgraded” for tens of thousands of years, yet unexpectedly also received a “buff” along with Little Light Body.

“What exactly is……”

****

Meanwhile, at the distant visible universe border.

The God of the Universe’ ultimate fusion, power greatly increased, shocking the entire universe, and just when They could finally catch Their breath, They were dumbfounded the next second.

“How, how is this possible!”
