After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 62.2

The dog-headed person narrowed his eyes slightly, the ebony pupils reflecting surging curses, and continued, “That great deity is about to revive.”

The air fell silent for several seconds.

The Goddess of Fortune asked in surprise, “Has He awakened?”

The dog-headed person replied, “Yes.”

The Goddess of Fortune: “He won’t hold a grudge against me for blessing his enemy gods back then, will he?”

The dog-headed person: “No, that magnanimous and arrogant one often forgets things.”

Was that a compliment or an insult? The Goddess of Fortune’s gaze was complex.

The dog-headed person thoughtfully said, “Oh right, He is a bit face-blind, perhaps He won’t even remember you.”

Thank you so much, I am such a great deity, such an incredible concept, how could the God of Destruction possibly not remember me?

The Goddess of Fortune hesitated, withdrawing Her gaze, which then fell upon the dance in front of Her.

The dog-headed person, after visiting the Goddess of Fortune, left after just a few minutes.

The banquet gradually returned to its previous lively state.

The Goddess of Fortune felt bored.

How tedious. She thought, the ball should not be like this.

Hollow souls, weak wills, wavering stances. These things were too boring to watch.

However, now she was indeed under Federi’s patronage, daring not to act rashly in many matters. She remembered that long ago, she didn’t know which thing had stolen a part of her power, and her memory was also missing a piece, her already weakened divine power was diminished further, and she had ended up falling into Federi’s hands while in this weakened state.

Of course she would be fine, because she is Fortune, all the fortune in the world is concentrated in her, but she would also have times of perilous circumstances, because fortune and misfortune are relative, after consuming too much fortune, even she would occasionally fall into misfortune, unable to resolve it through the use of her powers.

The universe is balanced, just like a game must have a balance mechanism, if it’s unbalanced, it will collapse, heading towards destruction and ruin.

Yet the greatness of the universe also lies in this, accommodating such a vast number of beings, while still maintaining balance, using rules to stabilize the order.

Just getting you to carry water for a few people, you might not be able to do it, right?

This is not ordinary might and wisdom. If the legendary Creator truly exists, His wisdom must be beyond imagination.

Only deities who have tried creation, tried to establish civilizations, would know the difficulties therein.

However, the Goddess of Fortune was just thinking about it, as was her usual whimsical manner.

The world is changing, many beings have died, even the eternal-seeming divine consciousnesses have been extinguished, yet there is one thing that still exists.

That is the concept.

The Goddess of Fortune lowered her gaze, yawning several times, lacking interest in anything.

Fighting and killing is really boring, who wins or loses doesn’t matter, because as the concept of “me”, even if this divine form dies countless times, one day I will still revive.

She smiled, her brow relaxing, her long lashes fluttering, her gaze piercing through the buildings, seeing the continental oceans.

“I can only wish you good luck. You stubborn humans.”

In another location in the Divine Kingdom of Destruction.

Humanoid beings gradually entered the empty interior.

On the ground, a complex magical array of a ten-pointed star system was drawn.

As soon as they arrived, they unanimously took their positions around the ten-pointed array.

Interestingly, their heads were not normal human heads, but various animal heads.

Among them, the sheep-headed aide bent down to observe, one hand supporting his chin, the other petting a pet.

The sheep-headed one looked at the rabbit-headed one, “What do you think?”

The rabbit-headed one was suddenly startled, his tone a bit weak, “…No particular thoughts.”

The rat-headed one chuckled, “Facing our great Divine Kingdom  of Destruction, the humans are not as united as they were back then.”

The sheep-headed one: “Oh? You mean the heroes.”

The rat-headed one: “The heroes and the humans under the heroes’ glory.”

At this moment, the dog-headed one had just returned, lingering by the door, thoughtfully remarking, “Separating the heroes from the other humans is just a tactic to divide them, although they themselves also like to use it, never failing, internal strife is truly entertaining.”

The sheep-headed one seemed a bit in awe of the dog-headed one, respectfully silent, not daring to speak.

With the dog-headed one’s arrival, the scene immediately fell silent.

The dog-headed one slowly walked to the center of the magic array, speaking in a deep voice, “How long will it take to conquer the Hammurabi Empire?”

The monkey-headed one: “A year? A month? A day?”

“An hour.”

The sheep-headed one nodded confidently, adding, “Or even less.”

The dog-headed one: “Oh?”

The sheep-headed one: “The known human powerhouses combined are no match for us, the only unpredictable factor is if they suddenly gained the number one ranked human.”

The dog-headed one frowned, “Who exactly is this number one ranked human?”

The sheep-headed one: “I’ve already sent people to find the God of Ranking. But that God of Ranking is also good at hiding, completely untraceable, even the human nations below couldn’t find him.”

The rat-headed one: “Giving rank to all things, knowing the order of all things, means… he is also the most powerful god of information?”

The sheep-headed one: “His rankings aren’t that accurate either, strength is primarily based on combat power, but true victory depends on strategy and luck.”

The dog-headed one: “The things you’re talking about are precisely the hardest to rank. But His ranking is still the best reference, isn’t it?”

“Of course it is.”

The rat chuckled, his small eyes revealing a touch of cunning.

Hearing this, the sheep-headed one seized the opportunity to look at the dog-headed one, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll be responsible for finding the God of Ranking, and then kill the human number one ranked, sacrificing him first, to bring the first taste of despair to the humans.”

The wicked snake-headed one couldn’t hold back a laugh, “Haha, how interesting.”

The rest joined in the merry laughter, the atmosphere was one of exuberance, as if they didn’t take the individual human powerhouses seriously at all.

To them, humans were mostly weak beings, even those of high rank, could not possibly match them.

At this moment, the rat-headed one suddenly said, “By the way, the Abyss Lords… what do you all think?”

This topic was very important, because all the countries, especially the Hammurabi Empire, had contracted with the Abyss Lords.

The Abyss Lords were all independent, but they had signed contracts after all, if the humans pleaded bitterly, who knows, they might find a few soft-hearted demons.

The dog-headed one: “Aren’t they supposed to be leaving the continent after ending the Demons Era? Do we need to bother with them? They have no reason to conflict with us.”

The sheep-headed one: “Well said.”

The rat-headed one was still worried, “But the Lord of the Abyss has recently appeared. There seem to be some unstable factors.”

“But the Lord of the Abyss is looking for the heroes, right? We just need to help Him find them.”

The sheep-headed one argued persuasively.

The other demons also believed, “He has no reason to side with the humans.”

“If He is acquainted with the heroes, then He should know that the heroes all went missing because of the humans, calling the humans the culprits wouldn’t be an exaggeration, He has even less reason to side with the humans.”

“That’s right.”

“Don’t let the unstable factors affect our conquest plan, whoever is responsible for what, just go resolve it.”

The dog-headed one gave them a slight glance, a hint of displeasure.

The heads immediately fell silent.

The chicken-headed one respectfully said, “Yes, I will resolve all the uncertain factors as quickly as possible, investigate and identify the human number one ranked, and kill him to announce it to all humans.”

The sheep-headed one followed, “I will also accompany and assist, aiming to complete it within a month, no, a week, so that the great Federi can conquer without worry, exterminating the human race, reclaiming the glory of the divine race.”

The dog-headed one finally seemed satisfied, a smile emerging behind the mask, “Then go do it.”

Eliminating all obstacles, conquering the entire continent within a month!

****

The next morning.

Xiu Si woke from his dream, consciousness hazy, unable to remember clearly, did Amon return last night?

He was about to get up, casually throwing off the blanket, then found a cat under the blanket.

In the blanket, the kitten’s eyes flashed, shining like a pair of beautiful emeralds.

Xiu Si knew at a glance, hiding-and-seeking was Amon’s specialty.

“Good morning, Amon.”

“Meow!”

“By the way, why are you so small?”

Xiu Si pinched the kitten’s paws, finding Amon too small, how could he be this small?

Amon of course couldn’t say, because the smaller he was, the more he would be doted on, so he deliberately chose this form!

The little ragdoll next to him snorted disdainfully, and as soon as Xiu Si turned around, the cat paw struck, warning Amon, “Stop bothering Father!”

Amon gave a sidelong glance, haughtily lifting his chin, self-righteously saying, “Father likes to play with me!”

The little ragdoll chuckled, “You only cause trouble for Father, don’t you know Father finds you a nuisance.”

Amon snorted, “That’s you!”

They would become childishly argumentative whenever they met.

The little ragdoll suddenly threw out a bombshell, “What about your black history, don’t you care?”

Amon was immediately choked up, his paws even drawing in slightly.

The little ragdoll: “Quickly listen to what Aelioge says, understand?”

Amon’s cat eyes trembled slightly, it was true that without him, his history could not be properly covered up by those humans alone.

But he had finally seen Father… he didn’t want to leave.

Amon hesitated.

Oh, the little ragdoll seemed to have grasped Amon’s weak point, her gaze carrying a touch of contemplation, then said, “Amon, you also don’t want Father to suddenly regain his system, and then immediately find out about your black history, right? I don’t really care, but I have a sibling, his nickname is the ‘Human Threat’, the ‘Race Destroyer’, ah, it sounds so scary. If Father knows, he would surely be heartbroken.”

Amon was sharply pierced by every word, he slapped Buer with a paw, growling, “I’ll be back soon, you protect Father.”

The little ragdoll snorted, “That goes without saying!”

However, he timely called out to Amon, “Wait, where’s Inpos?”

Amon turned, “I’ve got him locked up, he’s being so stubborn, refusing to cooperate.”

The little ragdoll was surprised yet unsurprised, “Release Inpos.”

Amon objected, “No, that fellow’s power is very convenient for rewriting history, haven’t you noticed?”

The little ragdoll paused, as if it was indeed the case.

Amon: “Humans are too slow, and the history involved is so long, if you let them handle it themselves, it’ll take at least three to five years, we have to do it ourselves.”

The little ragdoll nodded, thinking this obstinate fellow had actually become the most actively pushing one, even more efficiency-focused than Aelioge.

Amon finally said, “Anyway, we’ll get it done as soon as possible, don’t get arrogant just because you can monopolize Father.”

The little ragdoll outwardly nodded, but inwardly she was thinking, well well well, this rare opportunity, and you won’t even let me get a little arrogant?

She was just about to burst out laughing.

The space split open again, revealing Amon’s face.

Amon warned, “Don’t get distracted again, Buer, dare to let Father discover you?”

The little ragdoll’s expression stiffened slightly, she pursed her lips, “I know.”

Xiu Si turned back to find the little kitten had disappeared.

The little ragdoll quickly hopped into Xiu Si’s embrace, snuggling, “Father meow, he went to find the other siblings meow!”

Xiu Si was somewhat surprised, “He just got back and left already?”

Children grow up, they must have their own ideas now.

Xiu Si felt both saddened and gladdened, after a while, he resumed his usual spot at the front desk.

Today’s guests were relatively few, or one could say, there were fewer passersby as well.

As if some major event had occurred.

Xiu Si had an ominous premonition, opening the news channel in the system, seeing one world news headline after another pop up, then barely having time to be shocked.

[The Divine Kingdom of Destruction has made a small test, initiating the Harmonious War]

[The Hammurabi Empire has accepted the Harmonious War, and suffered the first defeat]

[The Continental Human Alliance has advised the Hammurabi Empire to accept global assistance]

[The Emperor of the Hammurabi Empire refuses assistance, still wanting to confront the Divine Kingdom of Destruction with his country’s own strength]

[General Hilton of the Hammurabi Empire summoned the Abyss Lord Vassago, but received no response]

[Later, they summoned Aelioge and Morax, also with no response]

[The Abyss Lords seem to have stopped assisting humans]

[The upper echelons of the Continental Human Alliance are in a bind, seeking aid from high-ranked human powerhouses, if the Hammurabi Empire loses two more Harmonious Wars, they’ll be beyond saving]

[The Divine Kingdom of Destruction will certainly demand the lives of all its citizens, not only handing over their divine forms, but also becoming the nourishment for the revival of the God of Destruction]

The world news channel was in chaos.

In just one night, and it’s only 10 o’clock in the morning now, how could so many major events have occurred.

Xiu Si looked at it all anxiously, especially since the names of his own children kept appearing in the news.

There was a sense of bewilderment, like, how did my precious babies suddenly end up in the news?

“Can’t summon the Abyss Lords anymore…”

Xiu Si thought, as someone who had repeatedly cosplayed as the Lord of the Abyss, he had a certain sense of familiarity with that title.

The news channel had another headline.

[The summoning of the Abyss Lord Buer has failed, her revival potions are sought by the Empire at any cost]

Xiu Si lowered his gaze, seeing the little ragdoll who shared the same name of Abyss Lord Buer lying on her back, basking in the sun.

Her fawn-colored fur seemed to be gilded with a golden glow, looking comfortable and relaxed.

Just now, the little ragdoll had of course received the summons, but how could he leave Father?

The affairs of humans are for humans, Father is heaven!

That was how she had thought. But the next moment, she heard this:

“These Abyss Lords have signed contracts, why is not a single one present in this critical moment?”

Xiu Si was just making a thoughtful remark about the current events.

But the little ragdoll in his hand had her pupils trembling.
