After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 144.1

When Inpos returned home,

Cat fur was floating everywhere in the hall. He was stunned and turned His gaze toward the young man who was grooming a cat.

Two small birds perched beside the young man, two butterflies rested on the birds’ heads, and a small dark cloud floated above the butterflies’ heads.

Upon closer inspection, the young man was holding a cat-grooming brush, with a small Siamese cat lying on his legs.

The small Siamese’s tail was swaying, and pink bubbles almost appeared above its head. He was so comfortable that He had practically turned into a caterpillar lying on his father’s legs!

It seemed oblivious to the terrifying gazes around, refusing to move from its spot. The blue cat’s eyes turned red with anger, pulling at the Siamese’s tail.

While Inpos was happy to see Father safely home, He felt speechless about His siblings’ obvious and subtle competition for attention.

At this time, the black cat noticed Inpos’s return and slowly walked over, asking, “Is everything settled with the humans?”

Inpos, also the gray cat, nodded.

“The Creator God has lifted the restrictions, humans’ talents should be released soon.”

The black cat briefly commented, “Good.”

The gray cat lowered His head, “Mm……”

The black cat turned His head. “What’s wrong?”

The gray cat was silent for a moment.

The black cat seemed to realize something, “Are you worried they might evolve in a bad direction?”

The gray cat was startled, then slightly nodded.

The black cat patted the gray cat’s back with His paw, “Needless worry, no need to be so concerned.”

The gray cat understood this principle, but He couldn’t help worrying,

because He had seen the beginnings and ends of many human civilizations in subspace – half destroyed themselves, half were destroyed by external enemies.

The black cat said calmly, “It’s up to you, whether you want to be the Primordial God of Humans, or become a demon, that’s your choice to make.”

The gray cat fell silent again. Aelioge had always been this clear-cut, only doing what was right.

“Speaking of……”

The gray cat remembered something, turned His head toward the sofa, then scanned past the sleeping lynx, stopping at the snow leopard bathed in soft light.

Second Brother had returned home, and there was a question He had always wanted to ask Second Brother.

The snow leopard seemed to sense His gaze and slowly turned His head.

When their eyes met, the gray cat trembled in fear, because Second Brother’s aura was too powerful!

The snow leopard tilted His head, watching His brother, as if waiting for His question.

The gray cat collected Himself and said. “Second Brother, I wanted to ask about that title on Father……what’s the deal with [Humanity’s Final Trial]?”

The black cat beside Him showed a thoughtful look – if Inpos hadn’t mentioned it, He would have almost forgotten.

He had noticed this title too but never looked into it. All-knowing Second Brother should know its reason, right?

Hearing this, the snow leopard blinked, not speaking but already answering Inpos.

The gray cat’s eyes widened, “Was that edited by you, Second Brother?”

The snow leopard nodded.

The black cat became more agitated, “You can just add titles to Father as you wish?”

The snow leopard nodded again.

The two cats were dumbfounded, and so were the several cats listening to their conversation nearby.

So it turned out to be a title Second Brother casually edited. Although reasonable, but…… huh?

Perhaps to prove this, the snow leopard turned His head, casting His gaze toward Xiu Si.

Now, they could see seven titles on Xiu Si. [Lord of the Abyss], [The First Creator], [Humanity’s Final Trial], and others.

After the snow leopard wrote some words in the void with His paw, an eighth title appeared on Xiu Si.

—[World’s No.1 Father].

The demons widened their eyes.

The black cat choked out, “Is- is this what being omnipotent means?”

He had worried about what Second Brother might be like after awakening to omniscience and omnipotence, but now it seemed there was nothing to worry about at all. Second Brother was handling it with ease, just playing with them.

The black cat’s mouth twitched. And in the next second, He suddenly felt His fur stand on end.

Like Him, all the cats except the snow leopard felt the same!

In the hall, lightning flashed with crackling sounds, space shattered, and from it emerged an incredibly mighty golden tiger.

All the cats faced this great enemy, their fur puffing up in fright.

Big- Big Brother was back!

The last time they saw Big Brother was during the “Rebellion Great War,” when Big Brother had punched them into the Infinite Trial with one strike per cat. Now just seeing Big Brother made their bones ache reflexively!

Look, Zepar immediately curled into a cat ball out of fear.

Cele couldn’t even hold the cake steady anymore.

Big Brother’s unconsciously released demon power was about to frighten the demons to death!

Within just one second of the golden tiger landing, all the cats were terrified and quickly fled to Father’s side. Some even more directly attached themselves to Father.

Only the snow leopard, lynx, and Maine Coon remained unmoved. Among them, the lynx was because He was asleep!

The golden tiger lowered His gaze and saw over a dozen cat balls surrounding His father, some clutching his clothes, some hiding behind him, some curled up in his arms, all looking very scared.

The golden tiger. “……”

Only the Torbie cat walked toward Him step by step, with sharp eyes, saying. “Big Brother.”

The golden tiger lowered His head, meeting the Torbie cat’s gaze.

His ninth sister Paimon had always followed behind Him, and now She had grown up and become strong.

The golden tiger was incredibly majestic, with a barely noticeable flash of satisfaction in His eyes.

Xiu Si noticed the cats’ movements and turned to see the golden tiger.

“Baal, you’re back too,” his eyes were full of joy.

The golden tiger nodded and slowly walked to the young man’s side.

Seeing Him approach, the little cats were scared into running behind Xiu Si again.

Xiu Si noticed their fear of Baal and probably knew why, explaining. “Don’t be afraid, Baal has a gentle personality.”

Gen- gentle! The little cats were stunned, looking at Xiu Si in disbelief.

Father, isn’t your filter too extreme? How does Big Brother look gentle in any way? He could flatten us all into cat pancakes with one paw!

Xiu Si saw their instinctive doubt and turned his gaze to the golden tiger.

The golden tiger truly lay down gently beside him. Though His aura remained terrifying as ever, His posture did indeed look somewhat “gentle.”

The little cats stretched their necks from behind Father.

Xiu Si casually stroked the golden tiger’s head, saying. “See?”

The cow cat was the first to be brave, actually rushing out, laughing. “Hi Big Brother!”

The golden tiger lowered His eyes to see the cow cat extending Her paw.

Not sure if for a handshake or high-five.

He knew Father was expectantly watching Him, so He slowly extended His tiger paw.

The big tiger’s large paw touched the little cat’s small paw.

This scene somehow had the impact force of a comet hitting Earth! The crowd of cats tactically leaned back, their excited feelings impossible to express.

Next, the ragdoll cat also came forward, meowing to gather courage.

The golden tiger seemed to know what She wanted to do, His tail slightly swaying, turning His palm upward.

The ragdoll cat’s eyes brightened.

Three minutes later, several cats had also gathered around the golden tiger.

The brave cow cat even dared to hang on the golden tiger. If this were before, She would have been electrocuted crispy long ago!

Now it was hard to tell if She had gotten stronger or if the golden tiger was holding back His lightning, tolerating His playful brothers and sisters meow.

But undeniably, no wonder Father liked to sleep leaning against Big Brother – Big Brother was so warm, with gentle electrical currents, super sleep-inducing, right?

Several little cats quickly occupied the good spots.

Xiu Si watched this heartwarming scene, his eyes slightly misting over with both emotion and feeling touched.

All the children were home!

At this time, the blue and white cat secretly ran to a high position and set up an external camera.

The Garfield cat noticed His actions and asked. “Family photo?”

The blue and white cat smiled. “Of course it’s a family photo!”

They hadn’t been able to take one in the abyss, now they needed to take plenty – a hundred, no, ten thousand!

The blue cat saw how excited He was and silently took out a camera to record video.

Today would be a memorable day, their family reunion, and also……

The blue cat’s camera captured the golden tiger and seven little cats, thinking to Himself that today was the day the little cats conquered the golden tiger.

However, just as He started recording, the golden tiger suddenly yawned, causing the little cats on Him to roll off one by one. The golden tiger accidentally created several cat pancakes under His paws.

The blue cat’s recording hand froze, and He shook His head thinking. Never mind, little cats conquering the golden tiger? That’s still far off.

He seemed to think of something and turned to look at the black cat.

The black cat hadn’t approached the golden tiger but sat to one side, His eyes full of fighting spirit.

Aelioge clearly still cared about the total defeat in the last battle with Big Brother. In His heart, as long as Big Brother was there, Father wouldn’t look at Him.

The blue cat smiled inwardly, thinking Aelioge would eventually challenge Big Brother to a second battle. Would it be the demon brother’s great comeback, or would He become a clown again?

Haha, hard to say.

Meanwhile, in the round hall.

“They won.”

“Yes, I felt it too.”

“Then can we remove the planet’s defenses now?”

The six people looked at each other.

Ye Qingyi closed her eyes, receiving information from Marbas.

“We can now, the Evil of the Universe and Creator God were both caught by Them, and Brother Xiu is back too.”

Ming Jie exclaimed joyfully. “A complete victory?”

Ye Qingyi nodded, smiling. “Yes, an undoubted complete victory.”

Ming Jie said excitedly, “That’s great!”

Wang Chang’er felt gratified. “As expected of Them.”

Justin smiled faintly. “Feels like we weren’t much help at all.”

Luo Jie shook his head, “We should be glad we didn’t hold Them back.”

Although that Creator God was arrogant and self-important, He hadn’t made a move against them. If He had taken them hostage, perhaps He wouldn’t have lost so thoroughly.

Wang Chang’er nodded. “That fake was confident in His own power, thinking He could handle Them, but things didn’t go as He wished. Their power exceeded His imagination, leading to the current result.”

Ye Qingyi lowered her head, her eyes rippling with emotion, couldn’t help but feel emotional, “Living so long, and that’s all He amounted to.”

The five people turned to look at her.

Wang Chang’er pondered. “It’s hard to say. Some get better with age, some get worse. It’s not uncommon – living too long, any consciousness would struggle to bear the weight of time.”

Chen Lingxi also sympathized but said optimistically, “I think none of that matters. What’s important is finding things you find interesting to do, and meeting good people, right?”

Yes, it was actually a very simple truth.

Ye Qingyi thought that life was probably just an experience, only differing in the length of time experienced.

“But after death, will consciousness ultimately drift away…” Even gods were no exception.

Things got complicated when talking about this.

Better not discuss such ultimate questions.

At this time, Wang Chang’er received a message from Marbas, joy in his eyes.

“What is it?”

Luo Jie noticed Wang Chang’er’s change in expression.

Wang Chang’er said happily, “The children invited us over for a meal.”

Chen Lingxi immediately got excited, “Wow, I want to go!” She had wanted to see the fluffy ones for so long!

Ye Qingyi heard this, the gloom in her eyes instantly dispersed as she smiled. “Alright, now?”

Wang Chang’er nodded. “Yes, Mar says everything’s ready.”

Luo Jie noticed Wang Chang’er could barely suppress his smile and couldn’t help teasing, “Brother Wang, your goal is the nieces and nephews, right?”

Ming Jie laughed. “I think so.”

Wang Chang’er startled, shaking his head. “How could that be, although they are really cute……”

Justin gave him a knowing look, “Never mind, Brother Wang, those who know, know.”

Who didn’t know he was a fluffy-things lover?

Chen Lingxi looked at her clothes, “By the way, should we change before going?”

“No need, right?”

“Casual is fine.”

Their matters here were settled, and they had also informed the Elf King’s side. As for the Human Alliance side……

Wang Chang’er thought of Norman Til, thinking this junior was particularly useful, he should know what to do next.

The six heroes exchanged smiles, then their figures disappeared.

At the same time, Norman Til sneezed in the middle of the night, quickly sitting up, feeling like someone was talking about him. When he turned his head, he saw documents and papers piled like mountains on his desk.

“……”

Norman Til rubbed his brow, muttering to himself. “I was clearly a frontline warrior.”

Meanwhile, a large dining table was set up in the hall, along with several small dining tables, separately for humans and cats.

The lazy cats sat on the sofa, heads turning this way and that, while the hardworking virtuous cats served tea and water, their short legs running back and forth.

The space passage opened as scheduled, and the six heroes walked out from it.

The moment they landed, all the cats turned their heads to look at them.

So- so many kitties!!

Wang Chang’er’s pupils shook, he almost lost his balance, fortunately Justin beside him caught him.

“Brother Wang, steady yourself.”

Wang Chang’er took a deep breath, barely controlling his heartbeat.

While in front, Ye Qingyi and Chen Lingxi were already chatting with their nieces.

“Wow, did Brother Xiu make your butterfly bow?”

“Yes meow! Auntie has good eyes meow!”

The ragdoll cat proudly raised Her head.

The golden cat beside them heard this and almost shouted not to call Auntie Ye auntie!

However, Ye Qingyi showed obvious preferential treatment – facing the cute ragdoll cat, she patted Her head, smiling. “Yes indeed, it’s a very pretty decoration.”

The golden cat’s eyes widened.

His expression made Luo Jie and Ming Jie unable to hold back their laughter.

Justin just calmly took a sip of tea.

On the other side, Wang Chang’er couldn’t control himself from reaching toward the nearest Garfield cat.
