After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 67.2
You ask if there’s any excessive beautification of this period? Definitely, human memory is not reliable, often randomly piecing together things that don’t exist. But it’s unforgettable, going through life and death together, talking about everything, knowing each other inside out. Such friends are hard to find in a lifetime, and you had six in this life, how can you not be lucky?
As Justin spoke, he fell into memories again.
The three demons looked at him, wanting to interrupt but didn’t, perhaps out of consideration for the elderly, because old people always like to reminisce about the past.
Justin said in a deep voice. “Whether it’s a curse or a blessing, it’s hard to tell now. Since I’ve recovered, I’ll be responsible for investigating the matter of the Goddess of Harmony thoroughly. Whether She’s black or white has far-reaching implications.”
As he spoke, Justin’s pupils contracted slightly, changing his kindly expression and releasing a terrifying killing intent, “If She really is the culprit who harmed us, I will kill Her myself.”
Fortunately, there were no ordinary beings present, otherwise they would have been scared witless by his killing intent, suffering nightmares at night.
Buer blinked, a smile blooming at the corners of her lips, “Now that’s a hero.”
Aelioge wasn’t surprised, but had some doubts, asking Justin. “Do you really have no aftereffects at all?”
Justin laughed loudly. “What, do you still doubt my abilities as a max-level healer?”
Aelioge shook his head, “I just feel that the mastermind wouldn’t let you out safely.”
Beelzebub also thought so, but He had been staring at Justin for so long and hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
Justin may or may not have concealed his physical condition, smiling faintly. “That’s not the point. The point is this domain, doesn’t that child want to open it yet?”
The little black bird interjected. “Yes, He’s afraid we’ll go out and teach Him a lesson.”
Justin was both surprised and not surprised, tilting his head back and sighing, “Unlike our human spirits, your spirits truly remain young for thousands of years.”
The little black bird tilted its head, not quite understanding this statement.
For deities, the concept of “old” doesn’t exist.
The divine nature was stable, eternal and unchanging, as it should be, and had never changed.
So, Justin’s words left Him momentarily unable to react.
Suddenly, Beelzebub’s expression changed, as if sensing something, and He immediately looked towards the sky.
“This power is…”
****
At the same time, in the outside world, the high sky suddenly seemed to be hollowed out, with a huge empty depression appearing. Immediately after, the surrounding dense clouds began to rotate, spinning faster and faster, forming a massive spiral vortex.
Witnessing this situation, the people below were terrified, a sense of foreboding welling up in their hearts.
Sure enough, at the center of the vortex, a huge disc suddenly appeared.
“It’s the territory of the Divine Kingdom of Destruction!”
“They’ve really come to kill us, what should we do? We won’t be in danger, right? With the Goddess of Harmony’s rules in place, they shouldn’t dare to come down and kill us, right?”
One wave had not settled before another arose. Levin was almost numb, staring at the sky in disbelief.
To make matters worse, the Prime Minister had run away at this critical moment. But what could be done? They had to resist!
It should be just one leader coming, right?
Just as he was trying to be optimistic, space trembled, and ten rifts appeared.
“What?”
Before he could react, ten different beast-headed humanoid figures emerged from the ten rifts.
There were Rat Head, Rabbit Head, Tiger Head, Pig Head, Frog Head, Insect Head, Monkey Heads, Snake Head, Fly Head… and even Dragon Head!
They stood scattered in the high sky, each with terrifying magic power, awe-inspiring presence, and killing intent that had almost materialized, displaying an incomparable sense of existence.
Although Levin didn’t understand, he could intuitively sense that they were all definitely max-level.
They were formidable non-human enemies that humans could hardly deal with!
The tens of thousands of people in the city all had the same feeling, all realizing that great disaster was imminent!
The national defense great magic was activated in time, forming a hemispherical light screen covering the entire city.
However, Dragon Head disdained this, flying down directly, stepping on the light screen, and with just a light kick, the supposedly impregnable light screen shattered.
Meanwhile, there was a commotion at the magic tower.
The magicians were both shocked and terrified!
“The first layer of magic broke just like that, what should we do? The national defense magic can’t stop Them anymore.”
“They’re going to destroy our country! How dare they, bullying us because our country has no one, right? I’m going up there to fight those beasts one-on-one right now!”
The young knights couldn’t stay calm, who could endure the continuous harassment from these things.
Killing intent rose everywhere, how could humans not have hot blood?
Dragon Head looked on with contempt, speaking indifferently. “Come out, number one ranked human. That useless Ram Head was too weak and was killed by you, but we’re different.”
This voice carried a terrifying intimidation, resonating in everyone’s hearts.
Including Xiu Si’s.
Dragon Head moved across the light screen, each step shattering a piece of the nation-protecting magic. Its expression was stern as it stood with hands behind its back, exuding an extremely strong sense of pressure.
“Are you afraid? Heh, that’s fine. It’s just a massacre after all. What do the rules of the Goddess of Harmony matter?”
Every word Dragon Head spoke chilled people to the core.
“By the way, humans, we’ve only come to kill the number one ranked human. If you know their identity, feel free to report it to us. That way, we’ll spare your lives.”
People’s hearts immediately began to change.
The imperial military felt extremely wary. It sounded like the enemy was only targeting the number one ranked human. They seemed to just be caught up in this.
But the number one ranked human was humanity’s greatest military force. No matter which country that person was in, they should receive the highest level of protection and support. How could they possibly cut ties?
Cutting ties with one person today, then another tomorrow – what would be left in the end but the extinction of all humanity?
A common person in the square was the first to spit and curse loudly at Dragon Head in the sky.
“Evil dragon, you want us to betray our fellow humans? Impossible! Get out of Oedipus!”
Dragon Head’s gaze instantly turned cold.
One person’s passion inspired hundreds to follow, and a crowd of people joined in cursing loudly.
“Get lost! What right do you have to demand we hand over the number one ranked?”
“You want to make us a laughingstock of history? Pah! We only have one life anyway. We people of the great Oedipus Empire would rather die than face such humiliation!”
The knights who had just rushed out to the square heard this and felt their blood boil even more.
“Resisting foreign enemies is our duty. Everyone please return to the buildings. We’ll kill them!”
Hearing this, the crowd of heads in the sky became furious.
Pig Head immediately dove down, smashing through a layer of nation-protecting magic with one punch, causing a great spatial disturbance.
“A bunch of evolved monkeys dare to be so arrogant, you really think the continent is your territory, don’t you? If it weren’t for the gods falling silent and the Abyss relocating, how could it possibly be your turn to be in charge of the continent? Hand over the number one ranked quickly when we tell you to, or we’ll make you wish you were dead!”
Monkey Head was caught in the crossfire for no reason, its face turning green with anger. What’s wrong with monkeys anyway!
The attack systems of the imperial warships had already activated, but they couldn’t even scratch the magic defenses of the ten heads.
At the same time, a giant magic array suddenly appeared behind Dragon Head. A terrifying composite fire-system grand magic was taking shape, distorting space and scorching everything. In an instant, red light filled the sky.
Even people who knew nothing about magic could see from this scene that if this spell struck, their imperial city would disappear from the continental map in an instant.
As despair approached, some persisted while others panicked.
Dragon Head, however, laughed wildly. It loved this kind of scene too much. Despair, despair, despair! There was no sight more beautiful than despair!
“The weak must die. Blame the one who abandoned you and hid in a safe place.”
As soon as It finished speaking, the extraordinary magic behind It enveloped the entire sky.
At that same moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
It came from the highest tower of the imperial palace.
“You’re looking for me? I am the number one ranked human!”
Dragon Head shifted its gaze, pupils contracting slightly, fixing on the speaker.
It was Levin.
His action shocked the people in the imperial palace. A group of people below broke out in cold sweat. Even more were in disbelief.
How could His Majesty possibly be the number one ranked? Yet he had stepped forward.
The king they had always thought of as useless in their hearts, could he really be so courageous?
Dragon Head saw through it at a glance and sneered. “A human who’s only at level 40-something wants to impersonate the number one ranked human? Your stupidity will go down in history. Oh right, you humans are only good at recording history anyway. Surviving for nearly 10,000 years with no progress, only regression. A species like yours is truly rare.”
However, Levin still dared to say, “I’m indeed not the number one ranked human, but I know who he is. I know how powerful he is. He could destroy you all with just one finger.”
The crowd below felt their hearts race, frightened by his provocation, but they couldn’t help but look at him with new eyes.
Hearing this, Dragon Head flew into a rage. It stomped through the light screen, its eyes almost shooting fire. “A petty king actually dares to provoke us, the leaders of the divine kingdom.”
By this time, Levin was already drenched in sweat, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. Heaven knows how he had gotten such a rush of blood to the head to do something so reckless.
It was probably his identity as king that drove him. Seeing the citizens all resisting, as the king he felt he couldn’t give in either.
Levin pressed on bravely. “What’s wrong with challenging you? You need to come down in full force just for killing one person? Have you no shame? If you ask me, you’re all just trash!”
At this, not just Dragon Head and Pig Head, but all the other heads became enraged as well. Their magic power immediately erupted.
Tear this nonsensical waste of a king to pieces!
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister who had witnessed this confrontation sighed at the king’s reckless courage, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Immediately after, the imperial city in the real world was instantly transferred into a buffer zone.
Almost everyone beneath the light screen disappeared.
A second later, the ten heads broke through the nation-protecting magic array and killed their way down, only to find the entire city empty, with traces of divine power having been at work. They were even more furious.
“What god interfered with us!”
“That king is certainly dead! No one can save him!”
Dragon Head was seething with rage, but as It looked closely, It discovered a silk thread floating in the air, as if guiding It to a certain place.
Pig Head became agitated. “What kind of dog shit trick is this, trying to provoke us?”
Dragon Head raised its hand, tilting its chin up. “I want to see what kind of trick this is.”
With that, It actually followed the direction of the silk thread into an alley.
Meanwhile.
Sensing something was wrong outside, the little cat beside Xiu Si became scared. Its light green eyes trembled slightly as it tugged at the sleeping big white cat.
“Third brother, third brother, wake up. They’ve come to kill.”
Celerios sensed the danger approaching step by step. Because of the bracelet magic of his brother Inpos, the power of the Goddess of Wisdom had moved everyone away, but couldn’t move their father.
But this time the big white cat was sleeping too deeply and simply wouldn’t wake up. It angrily swatted at his paw.
So Celerios became even more afraid.
He sensed ten magic powers outside, while He was only one demon. What if He couldn’t win and couldn’t protect Father?
He raised his head and saw that the black-haired youth seemed to have also sensed something was wrong and was about to go out to see what was happening.
“Meow…”
He couldn’t help but cry out.
Xiu Si turned his head to look at him and smiled, “Something might have happened outside. I’ll go take a look. You wait for me here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ten leaders following the thread appeared at the bookstore’s doorway.
Dragon Head sensed an unusual aura, believing the number one ranked human must be inside this bookstore.
Heh, trying to face ten enemies alone? How arrogant!
“I want to see just who you really are!”
Inside, Xiu Si turned around, about to walk out.
The little cat grew anxious and ran in front of Xiu Si.
Xiu Si looked down, but saw the little cat had vanished.
At the same time, a young man with bangs covering his eyes walked out of the bookstore door, his gaze staring coldly at Dragon Head.
Dragon Head stopped in its tracks, its expression changing as it blurted out. “Abyss Lord?”
It didn’t immediately recognize which one, but this magic power was definitely that of an Abyss Lord.
Rat Head recognized him and cried out. “Celerios!”
The crowd of heads was stunned, immediately on guard. Pig Head quickly said, “Don’t be afraid, He doesn’t have much fighting power. He’s one of the weakest among the Abyss Lords!”
The young man ignored its words, staring directly at them and saying in an ambiguous tone, “Don’t come any closer.”
Hearing this, Dragon Head laughed, magic power surging in its hand as it said, “Are you trying to protect humans?”
Rabbit Head chuckled. “Celerios, you can still leave now. You alone can’t fight the ten of us.”
Pig head: “The number one ranked human must die today!”
As if the word “die” had triggered something, Celerios shook his head slightly, revealing a pair of extremely cold eyes.
“Die? Who did you say is going to die?”
Pig Head was about to continue speaking when it suddenly felt something was wrong. It turned its head to look and saw a silver-haired, green-eyed woman walking out of the opposite alley.
No, not a woman, but Abyss Lord Buer!
At the same time, Rabbit Head noticed two young men approaching from the opposite direction.
One had a cold and solemn air, the other an arrogant expression.
It was the Abyss Lords Aelioge and Beelzebub!
How did three Abyss Lords suddenly appear?
Wait, the ten of them were now surrounded by four Abyss Lords!
Dragon Head sensed things were not good, and then another one walked out from behind Celerios.
He looked like he had just woken up, wearing a ridiculous eye mask, his eyes leaking anger, extremely impatient.
It was Vassago, the third-ranked Abyss Lord!
They had come to kill the number one ranked human, how did they end up encountering so many Abyss Lords?
The ten heads felt their hair stand on end, and at this moment, a small bird leisurely flew by. Looking closely, wasn’t this the God of Darkness?
Dragon Head’s pupils shook as it stumbled back a step, frightened. “What- what is going on with all of you!”
Meanwhile.
Just as Xiu Si was about to walk out the door, someone suddenly called out to him from behind.
He vaguely felt it was a very nostalgic voice.
He didn’t hear it clearly and instinctively turned around, then froze.
