After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 22.3

Inpos, initially unconcerned, suddenly remembered that Aelioge had gone to fight Beelzebub. He quickly conjured a black cat in the bedroom.

Xiu Si went inside and saw the black and white cats sound asleep. Fortunately, they were still there and hadn’t run off.

Xiu Si then turned and checked the time. It was exactly 3:00 PM, and the antique shop still seemed devoid of customers.

At that moment, a sudden alarm sounded.

[C-S Level Alert: Abyss Lord Aelioge and Abyss Lord Beelzebub are fighting fiercely in the subspace near the empire, causing minor spatial disturbances. Residents are advised to pay attention to road safety.]

What was C-S level, it meant the threat level start at C and could reach up to S, which was a nation-destroying level. A C-level threat could at least cause street-level destruction, but the alarm only mentioned walking safety, which meant that although the threat was significant, it posed no substantial harm for the time being.

However, hearing the famous names of kins being broadcasted throughout the city, both Inpos and Morax felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

Hey, how is this different from a school reporting to parents that their kids were fighting? Are you not considering the parents’ blood pressure?

When Xiu Si heard it, his expression indeed became somewhat subtle. He instinctively glanced inside the bedroom and only after a long time did he turn back and mutter to himself, “It must be a coincidence. Aelioge is sleeping, how could it be possible?”

It really could be possible! The two cats exchanged glances, thinking that if those two were fighting, could they at least fight quietly, and at least stay far away from the Aust Empire.

The next second, Xiu Si suddenly glanced at them.

Both cats straightened their spines simultaneously and shifted their gazes to the right with high synchronicity.

This was undoubtedly a sign of a guilty conscience.

But Xiu Si’s paternal filter was too thick. After looking for a few seconds, he just found them cute and couldn’t help but say what was in his heart.

“I know you are not those kinds of children.”

Both cats broke into a cold sweat at the same time.

Now they were really in a difficult position. They absolutely couldn’t let their father find out, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Then, Xiu Si thought of the newborn little one.

Safety education needs to be taught from a young age.

At this moment in the subspace, planets were shattering, and giant stones were exploding.

Two gigantic beasts were staring at each other intently. Their erupting magical power was still rising, indicating that they intended to continue fighting.

But suddenly, Aelioge’s eyes changed, as if receiving some message. The enormous figure inexplicably straightened up and restrained some of its battle intent and murderous aura.

Beelzebub stared at it inexplicably.

Aelioge suddenly spoke, “Temporary truce.”

Beelzebub frowned, its huge bone wings folding, causing a chilly wind to blow. It said in a low voice, “Why stop fighting? Hand over Father first.”

Aelioge suddenly glared at Beelzebub, transforming into a human form, becoming a distinguished young man in black.

Beelzebub didn’t understand what he intended to do, thinking that turning human in the middle of a fight was suicidal.

Aelioge said, “Compared to fighting you, there’s something I need to ask you first.”

Beelzebub squinted its eyes, cold light flashing. Perhaps he knew that without settling things with Aelioge, he couldn’t see Father, so it could only compromise a little.

He knew his sibling’s stubborn temper all too well.

Beelzebub calmed down after the fight.

He also transformed into a human form and said coldly, “What do you want to ask?”

Aelioge spoke gravely and directly, “What exactly happened the day Father disappeared?”

Beelzebub’s face darkened, “Haven’t I told you before? What, you don’t believe me now? Do you think I could harm Father?”

In Aelioge’s eyes, Beelzebub was the last to be by Father’s side, so he should know the most.

Aelioge narrowed his eyes, “It’s not about doubting you. I remember what you said back then. What I’m asking is, has your story changed since then?”

What did that mean?

It wasn’t about suspecting Beelzebub of lying.

At that time, they were still too weak, unable to perceive or discover many things. The situation they saw back then might not have been the real situation.

As years passed, they had all grown stronger, their understanding improved, their vision broadened. Looking at the same past with their current knowledge and perspective would surely reveal more.

This was what Aelioge meant.

Therefore, Beelzebub fell silent.

The two human forms confronted each other across the void.

After a long while, Beelzebub said, “After I tell you, let me see Father.”

His tone had changed slightly.

Aelioge stared at Beelzebub.

He had harbored opinions about this dark-natured sibling since they were young. There were many reasons. First, their names were all derived from the “Key of Solomon,” but not Beelzebub. Father gave him a different name, not part of their series.

Second, Beelzebub was actually the seventh born, but he remained unconscious for a long time, the last to awaken among them. This meant he couldn’t be considered the seventh or the youngest, leaving his rank uncertain, so he simply wasn’t ranked.

These accumulated peculiarities became reasons for Father to pay more attention to him.

Their other siblings had strong opinions about Beelzebub. Besides this, Beelzebub’s notoriously dark nature made it difficult for him to get along with any of them, and they naturally didn’t want to get along with him either.

Aelioge stared at Beelzebub, seeing the anxiety beneath his calm surface.

Aelioge thought silently for a moment and said, “You speak.”

A few minutes later, the aftershocks in the subspace gradually subsided.

Elinson breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two Abyss Lords had finally stopped fighting.

Recently, the movements of the Abyss Lords had become more and more frequent. What could be the reason behind it?

She vaguely felt that all these disturbances pointed to one reason.

Or perhaps…one entity.

At four o’clock in the afternoon.

The God of Darkness walked into a deserted alley and finally stopped in front of an ancient shop door.

He stopped, why?

Because he saw, despite the ordinary appearance of this antique shop, upon careful sensing, there was more than one terrifying presence inside.

As the God of Darkness of this generation, having awakened more than ten years ago, he had seen a lot, but even so, he had never seen such a scene.

Several abyss beasts, each capable of crushing the Aust Empire, were collectively residing in such an inconspicuous place.

They were supposed to be at odds with each other, fighting whenever they met, yet they were inexplicably living together in harmony.

Why?

Was it because there was someone inside who could powerfully suppress them, forcing them to coexist peacefully?

The God of Darkness was actually nervous, hesitantly standing nearby. At the same time, he sensed the magic of his arch-enemy.

It wasn’t residual magic but “freshly emitted” magic. In other words, his living arch-enemy was inside.

Through the glass on the door, he should have been able to see the interior, but inexplicably, he couldn’t.

Muffled voices came from inside, saying something indistinct.

The God of Darkness was puzzled, but he was, after all, the God of Darkness, a terrifying being who once wreaked havoc and slaughtered across the heavens. He wouldn’t hesitate just because of a bit of confusion, even if he was still young, he shouldn’t.

He took a deep breath, walked up to the door, placed his hand on the handle, and pushed it open without any resistance.

Then, the dignified God of Darkness froze, his mind blanked by the scene before him.

This, how could this be possible!!
