After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 14

Elsewhere, a few minutes earlier, at the top of a building in the Imperial City.

Morax was looking up at the sky, his face heavy, his fists clenched under his sleeves, revealing a suppressed tension.

He was ranked 21st among his siblings, making him one of the later ones to be born. When he first opened his eyes, he was overjoyed at his own birth and instinctively looked at his creator.

And so, he saw a black-haired, black-eyed young man. He instinctively wanted to get close to that young man, like a chick recognizing its nest. The young man smiled at him and gently stroked his head.

He had just been born, his form unstable, weak. Under the other’s touch, he gradually stabilized himself.

That was the first happiness he had ever felt, but it didn’t last long, as his siblings soon returned or appeared one by one.

The gentleness he yearned for was equally divided among many siblings. He could no longer monopolize that person. He was lost, deeply saddened, wanting the other to pay more attention to him, but found that the older siblings all felt the same way. Among his siblings, he wasn’t even the most noticeable.

So he wanted to work hard to level up, to be different from his siblings, to make his father look at him more, but he found that the older siblings were all doing the same. Everyone wanted their father to look at them more, working hard for it, even the inherently lazy Vassago was refining his mental power in his dreams, appearing to be sleeping, but actually desperately leveling up.

Those days were bearable, at least he was a creation of his father, and that relationship was his most precious treasure. But…

Morax was somewhat uneasy, he couldn’t help but speak, “What’s the point of finding our father? He abandoned us back then, does he really want to see us again? Thousands of years have passed, what if he has other creations and doesn’t care about us anymore?”

Compared to Morax, Inpos, although ranked 22nd and younger than him, was clearly more composed.

Inpos shook his head and said seriously, “I believe in our father, he won’t abandon us.”

After a subtle silence, Morax said, “I want to believe too.”

Just then, Inpos suddenly remembered something, “Speaking of which, why did Aelioge want the empire to tamper with history?”

Morax was stunned, his pale green eyes showing confusion, he pondered, “Indeed, why would he do such a thing for no reason?”

No, Aelioge wouldn’t do such a thing for no reason, there must be a reason. What could that reason be?

Morax was deep in thought, his hand on his chin.

Inpos, with a serious look on his face, suddenly said, “He saved the Aust Empire just to push this matter.”

Morax didn’t understand and asked curiously, “Pretending to love humans for no reason, it seems like he has ulterior motives, but what is his goal?”

They fell silent for a moment, then simultaneously realized the key point. Yes, Aelioge’s actions must have something to do with their father!

Inpos, who had spent more time among humans than Morax and had more complex thoughts, immediately thought of what they had done in history, especially the Demons Era when they would fight at the drop of a hat!

Imagine, what if their father found out? What would their father think?

The two demons looked at each other and suddenly understood.

Morax became anxious, “We absolutely can’t let our father know about our current situation!”

“Right, even if the truth has to come out, it has to wait until after the history has been tampered with!”

“Aelioge, this guy, is actually so thoughtful. But this also shows that he has indeed found our father!”

Once they figured it out, they immediately understood everything and knew Aelioge’s plan.

So Aelioge was trying to improve their image!

Although Morax was angry at Aelioge’s despicable behavior of trying to monopolize their father, he had to admit, “He is right, our father needs a kind lie.”

Inpos nodded seriously, “Yes, we can’t let our father know what we’ve been doing these years.”

Which parent could bear to see their child fighting for thousands of years and being recorded in history? Their father had always disliked seeing his family quarrel.

Back then, they didn’t get along with each other. When their father was around, they reluctantly maintained peace. After their father left, they let loose, starting to overturn the abyss, and later even the continent. If the reasons for the fights were justified, it would be fine, but many of them were trivial matters, like arguing over whether the color of the sea was blue or green.

The Demons Era that lasted for thousands of years was definitely their dark history, and it was meticulously recorded by human historians.

To them, history was like a list of crimes written by a teacher to tattle to their parents.

How dare they let their father see it!

The two demons were exchanging major opinions when they turned their heads and saw Vassago in the sky looking like he had discovered something, and he suddenly disappeared.

Inpos exclaimed, “He must have found Aelioge, we have to follow him.”

Morax said, “Wait, we can’t let Vassago appear in front of our father in this state!”

They immediately chased after him, their magic power exploding to the extreme, and the space twisted after they left.

On the other side.

Vassago walked to the door, his hand already on the doorknob.

Behind the door, Aelioge was in a hurry, his eyes wide and his fur standing on end, his cat tail standing up like it was electrified.

At this time, Xiu Si was bowing his head, still immersed in the operation of magic power and the creation of mental power, not noticing anything unusual.

Vassago was excited and extremely nervous, but just as he was about to open the door, Morax and Inpos arrived and stopped him together.

Three noble and eye-catching young men were actually arguing in front of an old antique shop. Fortunately, there weren’t many people outside at this time, otherwise, it would have attracted attention.

Vassago’s face turned black, and he was about to deal with these two siblings who were trying to stop him. Inpos quickly sent a message, word by word, which made Vassago’s face change dramatically.

Aelioge saw their internal strife and naturally thought of running away and taking their father far from them!

But it was too late, Vassago’s magic controlled the space, the rules restricted everyone from leaving the space, and he even raised his hand to cast a super magic!

Even Aelioge couldn’t break it immediately, he could only watch as the door was opened.

The door gap widened, casting a grayish-white light, and silver snow fell.

The room was so warm, but it was dragged down a few degrees by the cold wind that suddenly invaded. The wind even blew the pages of the book on the table, making a rustling sound.

Aelioge was immediately alert, but saw that the doorway was empty.

It was as if the wind had accidentally blown the door open.

What? Aelioge paused, lowered his eyes, and met three pairs of eyes uncertainly.

Three cats walked on the ground, one was a lazy white-haired, one was an irritable red-haired, and one was a slightly deep gray-haired.

Aelioge was confused, but quickly realized.

Just like him, they were all cats!

They were outrageous, they actually copied his strategy!

Who knows how the terrifying Abyss Lords just now suddenly collectively turned into this appearance, but they were high-spirited, without any sense of aggrieving themselves, they all came to settle accounts with Aelioge!

While Aelioge was still agitated, the three cats looked at the young man who was thinking on the table at the same time.

That moment, who knew how long it had passed, a storm surged in their hearts.

This was not an exaggeration, but the truth. Their father really came back!

It was their father, it was the father who created them!

After so many years, they could finally reunite with their father!

Ah ah ah!

All the worries in the red-haired cat’s heart dissipated at this moment.

What about abandoning oneself, even if father really abandoned, so what, father is still their father!

The gray-haired cat’s eyes trembled, he didn’t show too intense emotions, but the flickering eyes had already explained everything.

The white-haired cat’s walking paws were stiff, his mind was blank in front of the other, and his deep green eyes were shaking uncontrollably.

How could Aelioge not know their feelings when he saw them like this?

But empathy was only a moment.

Xiu Si, who was focused on the game panel, noticed the movement, turned his eyes and saw several cats playing affectionately together.

The black cat was suppressed underneath, its paws dancing, its tail swinging vigorously, trying to break free, but it was controlled by the red cat and the gray cat on the left and right.

The black cat couldn’t run left or right, so he could only confront the white cat head-on, dancing his claws to fight back like scratching an itch, while at the same time, the white cat also danced his claws to respond.

Perhaps, as long as they change their animal bodies, their actions would look like a proper fight, but they were now soft cats, any action looked soft, like four marshmallows playing, especially since they were not thin.

Like the white cat, white and fat, pinch it and it’s all meat, every action was soft to your heart.

Anyone who sees it will say it’s cute.

And how could Xiu Si not recognize his own cubs? After Aelioge, he found three more cubs!

You say they found themselves? Haha, it seems so.

Xiu Si didn’t care about the details, he watched them play with his chin propped up, and from time to time meowed loudly.

Thousands of years have passed, his own cubs are still so lively, it’s really great.

Father is so relieved!

Fortunately, the table was big enough that they wouldn’t fall off after a few tussles.

After a while, the cats finally noticed their father’s gaze, and they all trembled at the same time, not daring to fight anymore.

The white cat reacted the fastest, running up first, its deep green eyes shining brightly.

Xiu Si learned from his previous lesson, dozens of names flashed through his mind before he finally thought of it.

“Vassago, is that you?”

Upon hearing this, Vassago pounced excitedly. As expected, their father remembered him! Their father hadn’t forgotten him, hadn’t abandoned him.

Aelioge gritted his teeth and also chased after him. It seemed like he was just lying on their father’s arm, but in reality, he was using his claws to secretly kick Vassago off.

The secret competition was extremely exciting.

Morax and Inpos were two steps slower, and there was no place for them on the arm, so they could only watch with resentment.

Xiu Si also said their names.

“Morax.”

“Inpos.”

“It’s you guys, right?”

Both cats had teary eyes at the same time, they were clearly in cat form, but they couldn’t control their wagging tails like dogs.

Aelioge was heartbroken, he wanted to say why only he was mistaken, this must be their fault, it couldn’t be their father’s fault! And originally, everywhere here was his place, who were they, don’t come over, it’s all mine!

The four cats had countless thoughts.

But Xiu Si’s next sentence shocked them all at once.

Xiu Si unconsciously laughed and said, “You guys came back just in time, I’m just about to create your new sibling.”

The four cats all widened their eyes: Huh?
