After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 79.1

Morax roared in the mental domain, and almost all his sibling heard it.

The demons in the subspace were bewildered.

“Ah, what happened? Why did Morax suddenly yell?”

“It seems those on the ground teamed up to mess with Morax?”

“Was it Aelioge’s doing? But wasn’t Morax causing trouble together with Aelioge?”

The demons felt confused.

Then, the roar reached Inpos’ ears, startling Him so much that He jumped on the spot.

“Ah! Morax? What happened to Him?”

Inpos exclaimed at first, then realized the problem.

They had forgotten Morax in the subspace for many days!

“Oh no, Morax is going to explode with anger!”

Meanwhile, at the scene of the Sisters’ Meeting banquet.

Buer looked at Valefor, wanting to speak but hesitating, when suddenly a roar thundered through their skulls.

—”I’m going to smash each and every one of you!”

“What?”

Buer was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening.

Valefor raised Her eyebrows, saying curiously. “What’s wrong with Morax, suddenly getting so angry.”

Ayni also looked perplexed, resting Her chin on Her hands, blinking, “Big brother Morax seems so angry, is He going to fight?”

Buer had arrived after Morax left, so She didn’t know what happened before, but hearing the next words, Her demon heart shook.

“Aelioge, Beelzebub, you two come out here!”

Buer finally understood, they had abandoned Morax!

Oh no, with Morax shouting like this in the mental domain, wouldn’t it alarm all the family members?

At the same time, in the southern part of the Khaos Empire on the Eastern Continent.

Beelzebub was searching for the original site of the Church of Dawn when He suddenly heard Morax’s roar. His expression changed, and He fell into silence.

“He shouldn’t be able to find me here…”

Beelzebub glanced at the sky, deciding to strengthen His magical concealment, to prevent Morax from finding Him!

Elsewhere, Aelioge’s side was too far away, only hearing a faint roar.

Aelioge stopped in the chaos, thinking, “Who’s calling my name outside?”

The little black bird tilted its head. “I don’t know, but I feel it’s best not to know.”

Aelioge felt it too, as His hair stood on end.

Forget it, finding those two gods is more important!

However, although Aelioge said this, He ran to the innermost part.

Joking aside, who wants to encounter an enraged Morax?

Unlike Aelioge, Bachin, who was closer, clearly heard Morax’s roar.

Bachin fell silent for a moment, combing His bangs with His hand, fixing the front hair back like using hair gel, revealing a white forehead.

“What’s all this commotion from Morax?”

He fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, in the imperial city of the Roman Kingdom.

In the Human Peace Memorial Park where wandering poets gathered, the pigeons that were foraging on the ground seemed to sense something unusual and suddenly flew away in fright.

The green-eyed youth by the fountain was slightly stunned, watching the pigeons’ panicked appearance, a hint of contemplation flashing in His eyes.

What happened to His twenty-first brother Morax?

At the same time.

Several family members who were in deep sleep also woke up.

In a certain lava pool, a fellow with a towel on His forehead opened His eyes.

His awakening immediately caused an earthquake in the entire volcanic area.

“Morax… so noisy, not letting me sleep well again.”

****

On the other side. At the edge of the continent.

Marbas was so bored He had almost carved the entire “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” scene on a golden mountain.

He was muttering to Himself when suddenly a roar exploded in His brain.

“Morax? What’s He saying?”

Marbas remained outside the domain as an anchor point, while Samikina had entered the Elf domain, unsure if He had heard Morax’s roar.

But for some reason, the Elven sanctuary suddenly produced magical fluctuations.

The sea rose and fell in waves.

Strong winds blew, seagulls scattered, as if the entire domain had gained consciousness.

****

Meanwhile. In the subspace, Amon narrowed His eyes, looking around, and said slowly, “Botis, where on earth did you go.”

****

Then, the roar awakened the white cat who was sound asleep in the cat’s nest.

The white cat swished its tail, stood up on all fours, thinking that what was bound to come had finally arrived.

At the same time, the short-legged cat beside Xiu Si trembled in fear, almost meowing out loud.

He thought nervously, Little brother Morax knows meow, what should I do meow, little brother Morax’s power is [Violence] meow.

The short-legged cat was afraid of being beaten up, and quickly fled into the safe and warm embrace of His father.

The black-haired youth seemed oblivious, still recording knowledge related to alchemy.

In the mental domain, family members popped up one after another, even starting to chat across space.

Bachin opened the topic: “Does anyone know why Morax is so angry?”

Ayni: “I don’t know, but isn’t He always easily angered?”

On the other hand. The true form of the observing demon was actually Botis, whom Amon was looking for.

Botis lived in the subspace during autumn and winter, and on the continent during spring and summer. Recently, He was supposed to be hibernating, but felt inexplicably restless, feeling there was something very important to do. So, He woke up and wandered around, coincidentally encountering Morax who was looking for demons in the subspace.

He knew the demons Morax was looking for had already returned, but didn’t remind Morax, firstly because He didn’t want to deal with His siblings, and secondly because He wanted to know what was really going on.

As He waited and waited, He also grew tired, and finally told Morax the truth.

As expected, Morax exploded with anger, startling most of His siblings at once.

How could Botis miss the fun that was to follow?

He immediately followed behind Morax, wanting to see what would happen.

Then, this storm first descended upon — Vassago’s cat’s nest!

How could Morax not remember, it was Vassago who told Him to go find Aelioge and Beelzebub, but these two demons had long since returned, and Vassago actually didn’t tell Him!

Humans might endure this, but demons couldn’t!

Morax had a major outburst, His authority and other skills all breaking through their original values.

He instantly locked onto Vassago’s location, then immediately rushed over.

Vassago was anxious, in order to prevent Morax from directly charging into the Oedipus Imperial City and causing great chaos, He quickly ran to the subspace.

Then, turning around, Vassago broke out in a cold sweat.

He saw Morax explode into a huge red sun, like the sun itself, His anger almost tangible.

“Vassago!!!”

Morax revealed His true form, gnashing His teeth, His magical power erupting like a tsunami.

Vassago coughed once, also knowing the situation, and surrendered, raising His hands. “Morax, I forgot, it wasn’t intentional.”

However, the enraged demon couldn’t hear what He said at all.

“Does an apology work!”

****

About half an hour later, Xiu Si finished transferring his alchemy knowledge, took the short-legged cat home, and bought some dried fish and milk on the way.

“Want to eat some dried fish?”

He asked the short-legged cat, looking down.

“Meow~”

The short-legged cat lifted its head and bit into the dried fish.

Xiu Si smiled, thinking how cute it was.

What he didn’t know was that as soon as he left, that man from the Roman Empire came to the Magicians’ Association, looking for him everywhere.

“Do you know where Mr. Yi Xiusi went?”

The receptionist said, “Mr. Yi usually goes home at this time, he often comes to the library to borrow books.”

“I see.”

The man pondered, suddenly asking, “Do you know what books Mr. Yi borrowed?”

Before the receptionist could speak, someone nearby laughed. “It’s books related to alchemy. Mr. Yi is truly knowledgeable, he’s even started learning alchemy.”

“Alchemy?”

The man fell into deep thought, his gaze profound, then a smile appeared on his lips.

****

Around 4 PM. Xiu Si returned to the bookstore, first opening the main door, entering the house, then opening the bedroom door. He was about to look down at the cubs, but before he could react, a red cat suddenly appeared, almost knocking him to the ground.

Fortunately, his physical stats had improved recently, and he managed to catch the big red cat in time, grabbing one of its paws.

“Morax, you’re finally back.”

The youth’s gentle gaze made the red cat’s anger dissipate instantly.

He had wanted to complain and tell on the others, but facing his father in person, He immediately softened, His eyes turning red. “Meow meow.”

The red cat acted pitiful, and indeed was pitiful.

Father, I searched for those demons in the subspace for so long, but they backstabbed me!

Xiu Si patted the red cat’s back, rubbing its paw, smiling and whispering in its ear. “What’s wrong? I haven’t seen you active for a long time, Father was very worried about you.”

“Meow~”

Hearing this, the red cat was so happy that bubbles seemed to pop in its head, blurting out: “Father, they excluded me meow, they’re so bad meow!”

Xiu Si’s expression changed when he heard this, pausing before saying. “Excluded…?”

At this moment, the short-legged cat behind Xiu Si lowered its head, its paws trembling nervously.

The red cat nodded. “They left me behind meow, didn’t care about me meow! I searched for a long time, but they all ignored me meow.”

Xiu Si frowned, stroking the red cat’s head, comforting. “Father understands now, Father will seek justice for you.”

“Meow.”

The red cat’s eyes were watery, refusing to leave Xiu Si’s side.

Meanwhile, the white cat in the cat’s nest had a white bandage on its head, clearly having lost a fight.

The white cat could usually beat the red cat, but the red cat was too angry this time, and He was in the wrong, so He got beaten up.

Sigh, just thinking about it brings tears. The white cat reflected painfully, but being beaten up was a small matter, the big issue was that Morax had tattled to their father!

The white cat was nervous inside, but looking up, He met the youth’s stern gaze.

Father—!

The white cat’s eyes widened, feeling apprehensive.

After a while, Xiu Si indeed came over, squatting down and saying, “Did you fight?”

He first noticed the bandage on the white cat’s head. It was too conspicuous after all.

The white cat looked up, meowing guiltily.

Xiu Si sighed, his outstretched hand seemed about to scold the white cat, but he hesitated and stopped, eventually just stroking the back of the white cat’s head, saying earnestly. “Although I don’t know what specific conflict you had, brothers should get along harmoniously, understand?”

At this moment, the red cat patted its paw, saying, “That’s right, that’s right, third brother is bad, he deserves to be scolded.”

The white cat stretched out its head, its nose lightly touching Xiu Si’s hand, softly meowing. “Meow~”

“It’s good that you know you were wrong. Don’t leave your younger brother behind again, okay?”

Xiu Si gently squeezed the white cat’s paw.

The white cat obediently nodded.

The short-legged cat, who was outside this storm, suddenly realized this didn’t involve him, and finally relaxed.

Morax turned His head and saw the short-legged cat, exclaiming in surprise. “Celerios! How come you’re here too!”

He had thought Cele was so foolish that He would surely be the last to arrive, but unexpectedly, He was already here?

The short-legged cat nodded, being polite even to Morax who should have been His younger brother.

Morax couldn’t really get angry at the short-legged cat behaving this way.

The white cat, having been scolded, indeed didn’t dare to act up anymore.

Xiu Si brought Him before Morax to apologize by pressing His paw, and He obediently nodded.

“You’re the third eldest brother in the big family, you should take more care of your younger brothers and sisters, understand?”

The white cat nodded and meowed.

Morax gradually calmed down, and after coming to His senses, realized that Vassago had always been proud, and it wasn’t a simple matter for Him to apologize to a demon.

The red cat stared at the white cat for a while, finally slowly speaking, “Alright, since Father said so, I’ll forgive you.”

The white cat blinked, looking into the red cat’s eyes and said, “I was wrong too, I should have called you back earlier.”

Red cat: “You forgot from the beginning, didn’t you.”

As He spoke, the white cat seemed to regain some spirit, “I was looking for Agares, you knew that too, didn’t you?”

“Hmph!”

The red cat didn’t believe it, raising His chin proudly.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, let me tell you what’s happened recently.”

The white cat briefly explained the various situations that had occurred recently.

The red cat was initially unmoved, then almost screamed, and finally froze, muttering. “We are actually god consciousness…”

The white cat’s eyes were deep, saying calmly, “To be precise, what Father created after entering the abyss should all be god consciousness.”

The red cat was stunned, as if it was quite incredible.

The white cat’s eyes were complex, continuing, “I saw with my own eyes many consciousnesses surrounding Father back then, then they decreased one by one, and then became more and more. I’ve always had suspicions, and Beelzebub’s matter completely confirmed my guess.”

“I don’t care about the past.”

The red cat was silent for a moment, then said willfully, “I am just Father’s child!”

The white cat’s tail swept, “How you think about it is your freedom.”

As He spoke, His eyes turned towards Xiu Si, “Father has been working hard to level up recently, we can’t let Father worry too much, understand?”

The red cat paused, then nodded vigorously. “Whoever dares to disturb Father, I’ll smash them with one paw!”

The white cat walked to the red cat, putting His paw on His forehead, really like an older brother, reminding, “Control your temper, don’t lose it, don’t bite people, okay?”

He had just been beaten up by His younger brother, but He changed quite quickly.

The red cat raised His head confidently, His eyes flying, “I can definitely do it!”

They whispered in the room, continuing to exchange information.

Hearing that second brother had appeared, Morax was shocked.

“Just in father’s dream?”

Meanwhile, a customer came to the bookstore.

“Dear Mr. Yi Xiusi! Hello, I’ve long admired your name, I’m Francis, a diplomat from the Roman Kingdom!”

A enthusiastic man walked in from the door, with a burly figure, wearing flashy clothes.

Xiu Si was reading a book, but hearing his greeting, he naturally raised his head.

“You…”

Xiu Si saw the other person walking straight towards him while introducing himself. He found it quite unbelievable internally – what did a diplomat from the Roman Kingdom want with him?

Hearing the sound, the short-legged cat lying on the table also slightly raised its head.

People from the Roman Kingdom were warm and open, fond of physical contact. If he wasn’t separated from Xiu Si by a table, he might have gone for a hug to show closeness.
