After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 140.2
The Creator God was furious at Their defeat, but He never believed in Them from the beginning.
A group of failures – those who would lose were all failures, unworthy of calling themselves His creations.
After the Heart of the Universe was activated, it took only an instant for dozens of statues in the central palace to come back to life.
Those were beings He had poured endless effort into creating – the Mirror Gods.
As their name suggested, the Mirror Gods could perfectly replicate all existence, even surpassing the original, because Their heart was the Heart of the Universe, which should have been the highest-ranked existence in the universe.
Then, as the statues transformed, a dark shadow appeared before Aelioge in the next instant.
The same shape, the same powers – if They possessed a higher rank, the mirror images would undoubtedly be stronger than the originals.
They appeared not just before Aelioge, but also before Lelagin, Sitri, and Beleth.
They were like negative versions of themselves, replicating not just their form and powers, but also their combat experience and intelligence levels.
“Wow.”
Amon sighed appreciatively while clapping, as if praising the opponent’s technique. Seeing chaos being identical to oneself appear was somewhat magical.
At that moment, the ceremonial puppet in the central palace floated up and smiled at Them.
This puppet seemed to possess intelligence – one could tell just by its eyes, which moved very nimbly as they looked at each demon in turn.
The ceremonial puppet respectfully said, “Lords, please return. You cannot withstand the Master’s wrath.”
Vassago almost laughed out loud, until an identical being appeared before Him as well.
“Wow, it really can copy perfectly.”
Vassago chuckled softly, killing intent showing in His eyes.
The ceremonial puppet explained. “They are stronger than you because the surface consciousness cannot defeat the subconscious. With the Heart of the Universe as their core, They can better utilize your powers. Therefore, when facing Them, your defeat is certain.”
As He spoke, identical beings appeared before Samikina and Marbas as well, immediately launching attacks against Them.
At the same time, Paimon had already engaged in a fist fight with Her copy.
The terrible energy collision made the universe tremble.
Seeing this, Zepar immediately joined the fight.
How could a copy hope to defeat Him? What a dream!
The violent demon Morax was particularly angry, instantly unleashing His [Violence] power to engage in close combat with His copy.
Almost all demons, even Agares, had copies appear before Them.
It was only then that Vassago finally showed surprise, His eyes widening.
It was impossible for Him not to be shocked – His second brother’s power was omniscience and omnipotence, yet the opposing Mirror Gods could even copy this?
The ceremonial puppet seemed to notice His surprise and proudly said, “Concepts – amazing, isn’t it?”
Vassago’s smile stiffened as He was about to destroy it. However, Amon confronted it first.
Amon narrowed His eyes and said from afar. “Playing with concepts is the easiest way to invite backlash.”
The ceremonial puppet’s expression froze, “How could concepts face backlash? You Abyss Lords were born in such a barbaric place as the abyss – do you not understand the beauty of concepts?”
Amon chuckled mockingly, “That’s exactly why we’re saying you’re completely stupid.”
The ceremonial puppet’s poker face nearly cracked, “What did you say?”
Amon continued, “Is this the extent of your master’s abilities? Is there anything else?”
The ceremonial puppet changed from a white face to a black face, its eyes narrowed to slits, extremely venomous, finally dropping its act.
It faced the shattered universe and threatened. “Hehe, when the Seven Ancient Gods return, you’ll all die.”
It was referring to the Seven Gods sent to kill Demon God Baal.
All the demons present understood this. Bachin sensed something and couldn’t help covering His face as He laughed.
The ceremonial puppet’s fragile nerves were stimulated, and it blurted out. “What are you laughing at?”
Bachin shrugged, saying with an ambiguous attitude. “Well, why don’t you try contacting them?”
The ceremonial puppet maintained its expression and really did try to sense them.
Then, a terrifying message struck its brain – all seven Gods sent to kill Demon God Baal were dead. Combined, they weren’t even worth one punch from Demon God Baal.
The ceremonial puppet’s face turned deathly pale, cracking like broken porcelain.
It almost wanted to cry out “How is this possible?” But reality had harshly slapped its face.
Those seven Ancient Gods were all dead. Before Demon God Baal’s terrifying power, They never had any chance of victory from the start.
Demon God Baal was simply a bug! How could such a being exist in this world!
Its features twisted in anger, “Cheating, this is cheating! You must have used some evil method, you Abyss beings are too despicable!”
This breakdown was witnessed by Ayni and other demons.
Ayni laughed so hard She was rolling, “Haha, here we go again, crying cheating when you can’t win.”
Zepar shook His head, “Big Brother came and one punch finished them, who else is there? Go on, call them!”
They were professionals at mockery.
The ceremonial puppet was fuming with anger and immediately ordered the Mirror Gods to launch their strongest attacks, “Kill them!”
The copies received the order and unleashed their potential one after another.
The ceremonial puppet smiled and said, “The most troublesome opponent is always oneself, don’t you think?”
However, in just one second, the copy before Paimon was punched through by Her and immediately disintegrated.
The ceremonial puppet’s jaw dropped, its mouth wide enough to fit ten eggs.
It wasn’t just Paimon’s copy. Soon after, Amon’s copy was also crushed.
Then followed the copies of Beelzebub, Morax, Zepar, and other demons.
Visibly, the demons with stronger pure power found it easier to destroy their copies.
Inpos, Bachin, Busson, Gusin, and other demons took slightly longer, but still destroyed theirs in just a few moves.
Bachin didn’t forget to mock, “Hmph, not worth mentioning. The Creator God’s masterpiece? Trash.”
The ceremonial puppet was terrified internally and said in disbelief, “This- this is impossible!”
Those were Mirror Gods enhanced by the Heart of the Universe, They should definitely be stronger than the originals!
Paimon couldn’t help laughing, “What’s so hard to believe? We’ve already trained in the Infinite Trial.”
“What did you say?”
The ceremonial puppet’s eyes widened.
Ayni shook Her head and said, “Oh my, Sister Paimon, They won’t understand. The key to getting stronger is training more. They don’t understand that if you’re weak, you need to train more!”
The ceremonial puppet seemed to hear the most ridiculous theory in the world and couldn’t contain its anger. “What nonsense, you can get stronger just by training? What demonic logic is this!”
At this moment, Botis had just destroyed His copy and hearing this, looked at it like an idiot, “What else then? Without training, did you think you could get stronger just by breathing?”
The ceremonial puppet’s face turned green with anger again.
Following this, Samikina, Marbas, and Valefor’s copies were also defeated.
Their copies had clearly used more of the Heart of the Universe, so they were relatively more difficult. But so what? The result was the same.
Watching its trump cards being broken one by one, as Barbatos, Sitri, and Aelioge’s copies were easily destroyed, the ceremonial puppet trembled with anger, its composure of thousands or tens of thousands of years about to crumble.
Sitri was extremely aggressive and said directly, “A garbage Creator God can only create garbage.”
Aelioge followed up. “That guy probably created the Evil of the Universe as a garbage incinerator because He knew He would only create garbage.”
The ceremonial puppet’s chest nearly exploded with anger on the spot.
“How dare you insult the Creator God!!”
However, the copy before Vassago was also destroyed by His own hands.
But the ceremonial puppet still had one last hope – Agares’s copy!
It had invested the most Heart of the Universe power into this copy, not only perfectly replicating the original but also enhancing it in all aspects!
Agares’s strength was more terrifying than all the present demons and gods combined. Therefore, one could say that the copy of Agares was the strongest being present.
The ceremonial puppet stared intently at Agares’s position, indeed seeing the copy holding the upper hand, its terrible demonic power already controlling the entire cosmic domain.
However, its hope was extinguished in just one second.
The original Agares merely narrowed His eyes, appearing to do nothing.
But in an instant, the space around the copy became extremely distorted, experiencing the simplest domain suppression!
The copy had the enhancement of the Heart of the Universe, its magical power strong enough to fill the entire visible universe, yet in the most pure contest of magical power, it had no room to fight back.
The pirated version of omniscience and omnipotence was worthless before the original version, and it gently shattered.
Not only was the ceremonial puppet dumbfounded, but even Vassago beside Agares, and Their younger demon brothers and sisters further away were stunned.
Ah, seriously, Second Brother… was Your strength this ridiculous?
Several demons drew in sharp breaths.
They thought Second Brother would have a great battle, but this was it?
Marbas even suspected that they probably didn’t need to struggle so long in the Infinite Trial, because Second Brother alone could handle those so-called Three Legions.
The reason He hadn’t acted earlier was probably out of habit. Because back in the Abyss, to give Them training opportunities, Second Brother would always delay until the last moment before acting, of course only in situations They couldn’t handle.
So after all this time, we had already won before we even started.
Marbas chuckled with a dark boss demon appearance, making Celerios not far away somewhat confused.
Celerios had also defeated His own copy.
Were there any left?
They noticed the Black and White Birds’ situation and found they had already handled it, even showing V-signs with smiling faces.
It could basically be confirmed that the Mirror Gods were done for.
It seemed the Divine Kingdom of Creation had no more tricks?
All the demons looked at the only jumping ceremonial puppet.
At this time, the ceremonial puppet’s face had completely cracked with anger, and it cursed, “You’ve gone too far in bullying gods!”
In just the blink of an eye, all the fighting force it had painstakingly gathered was gone. How could it not be furious?
On the other side, Aelioge was slowly walking in the central palace, found this amusing, and retorted, “Isn’t this all your master’s own doing?”
The ceremonial puppet had extremely good hearing and caught everything Aelioge said casually.
The ceremonial puppet stared directly at Aelioge and raged, “You imprisoned the Master first!”
Aelioge’s expression suddenly turned terrifying, His eyes emanating cold light, His words seeming to squeeze through His teeth.
“What a joke, weren’t you the ones who played tricks first?”
The ceremonial puppet burst with divine power and threatened, “The Master only restricted his upgrades, what’s wrong with that? The Master restricted the upward advancement of all humanity, not just him!”
Hearing this from across the universe, Ayni was so angry Her teeth chattered as She cursed. “I have never seen such a shameless god!”
But that ceremonial puppet continued,”It was that waste Evil of the Universe who repeatedly put him in mortal danger! If you want revenge, you should take it on Him! You should kill the Evil of the Universe!”
Aelioge coldly laughed, instantly appearing before the ceremonial puppet, His eyes looking down at it like a demon god of plague who had just walked out of a sea of blood. Terrifying plague energy spread as He gripped the puppet’s jaw and said, “Who created the Evil of the Universe? Who is the origin of all causality? Isn’t it your so-called Master?”
“You- you…” the ceremonial puppet trembled all over, its pupils almost dispersing.
Aelioge gripped its neck with one hand, “Oh no, calling Him Master is too kind, should call Him Lowliness. It’s about time He came out, isn’t it?”
Without using any power, Aelioge simply used brute force to break the ceremonial puppet’s throat.
It was actually very strong, perhaps the strongest puppet in the universe, but this had nothing to do with Aelioge – what should die should die.
“No- you- you can’t do this!”
The puppet’s head hit the ground, rolling uncontrollably like a ball, its divine body shattering everywhere.
However, Aelioge no longer wanted to waste words with it.
Seeing Aelioge about to enter the central palace, the puppet shrieked. “No- you can’t go in!”
Just as Aelioge was about to completely destroy it, Lelagin had already acted.
“Let’s go.”
The Elven Ancestor God, having fully recovered, looked at Aelioge, His beautiful and brilliant elven eyes somewhat captivating to demons.
Aelioge glanced at Lelagin and turned His head. “Alright.”
At this point, They might as well see what tricks the Creator God still had.
But Bachin had limited patience and directly cut through space, splitting the central palace open like cutting a bun.
Boom! As the space opened, a flash of white light was particularly dazzling, revealing the “Creator God” sitting on the divine throne.
The exact same face and figure as Their father, but with completely different temperament and demeanor.
Even though surrounded by the demon group, He seemed to remain calm, His golden eyes surveying the scene, showing no emotion.
Aelioge stopped His steps and stared at that figure, “Hmph, fake Creator God.”
Just one sentence.
The “Creator God’s” eyes widened.
