After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 80.2

The little Munchkin cat was stunned. Th-they actually dared to fight in front of Father!

Then, even sin might become void in the face of nothingness.

Under the collision of conceptual powers, the strength of the powers themselves and the enhancement of demonic energy became the key to victory.

In the end, Amon with stronger demonic energy won.

Amon swaggered back home, while the little Siamese cat could only grit His teeth, His gaze fixed on Amon transformed into a little Chinchilla cat.

Amon looked up and found that Xiu Si was too focused to notice their undercurrents. Perfect!

Fortunately, Father was concentrating.

He called for the little Siamese cat to come down from Father.

The little Siamese cat pouted, not coming down, not coming down, I’m one with Father!

What one? You’re a pervert.

Amon rolled His eyes at Him, making a move to climb onto the table, warning. “Come down quickly, you extreme Father complex!”

The little Siamese cat expressed dissatisfaction and chuckled, “How many times do I have to say I’m not a daddy’s boy!”

Amon also smiled back, “Daddy’s boys never admit they are daddy’s boys. Look at Celerios, he doesn’t cling to Father, but you do, and only you do. How can you still say you’re not?”

The little Siamese cat became angry and embarrassed, exclaiming emotionally, “I’m not, I just love my father deeply!”

Damn, still saying he’s not?

Amon spoke seriously without raising his voice. “I have important business to discuss with you, I’m not here to separate you from Father.”

He actually used the word ‘separate’, He must be crazy too. Amon couldn’t help but cover his face.

The little Siamese cat tilted his head curiously. “Hm?”

Amon stared into the little Siamese cat’s eyes, his gaze stern as he said, “Have you forgotten about your dark history? Come down and let’s rewrite it together.”

“No!”

“You haven’t forgotten what you’ve done all these years, have you?”

“…”

The little Siamese cat’s pupils constricted, seeming a bit shaken.

Amon continued. “You destroyed a country, is that true?”

The little Siamese cat frowned and replied quietly, “…Isn’t that what everyone says?”

He seemed to really dislike hearing others say that.

Despite being someone who crawls in darkness every day, especially hibernating regularly in winter, He actually looked like He had some untold difficulties.

Amon impatiently said, “Don’t put on an act of having unspeakable hardships, just confess quickly. This way, Inpos can organize it faster.”

“…”

The little Siamese cat fell silent again, His already black pupils becoming even darker.

Amon stared at Him, their gazes clashing in the air, sparking like fire.

Amidst the confrontation between the brothers, the innocent and pitiful Munchkin cat quietly hid in a book.

It was fortunate that Xiu Si was too focused and didn’t notice at all, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to react if he saw this.

A few minutes later, the little Siamese cat suddenly seemed to have made some decision and calmly murmured. “Only evil individuals or groups will be affected by my authority.”

“Oh?”

Amon raised his head, looking directly at the little Siamese cat.

The little Siamese cat’s calm eyes seemed to be covered with a hint of divinity, majestic and unquestionable, declaring. “Any human, god, or demon, regardless of age, identity, or status, as long as there is a cause of sin, there will be a consequence of punishment.”

Amon suddenly fell silent, a memory flashing in his eyes.

A long time ago, there was an ultimate being named [God of Judgment].

He judged heaven and earth, judged all things, judged all gods. As long as they were intelligent beings, as long as they were sinful beings, meeting Him meant facing judgment.

He existed for tens of thousands of years, feared by all, dreaded by demons, avoided by gods, but suddenly disappeared at some point and never appeared again.

Amon looked at the little Siamese cat meaningfully, slowly retracting his memories.

The little Siamese cat was puzzled by His gaze and couldn’t help but ask. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Amon coughed and said seriously. “You’ve actually mentioned something very important. It’s the judgment authority, not your judgment, isn’t it?”

The little Siamese cat fell silent again.

Because He didn’t like to talk about the past.

He was born in the abyss, and the only human He had ever encountered was His father.

His father was the best in His heart. The one He liked most, loved most, so He loved everything associated with His father, assuming that humans of the same race as His father were also good.

But… He suddenly lowered His gaze, His already dark face seeming to darken further, as if recalling too many dirty and filthy things.

…Later He realized that the human world wasn’t a good place. He could hardly find anyone like His father, and even encountered numerous betrayals. By now, He didn’t want to distinguish between good and bad, or consider what hardships might be behind people’s actions.

Because, what did that have to do with Him? Humans were humans, He was He, and He only had one point of intersection with humans, which was His father.

Seeing His complicated and reserved expression, Amon probably understood.

Amon said seriously. “Alright, come down quickly and go with me to Inpos to give an honest account. At least get rid of the title of destroyer of a race.”

However, the little Siamese cat still refused, clinging and unwilling to leave, insisting, “I can tell you here, can’t I?”

“The efficiency is too low, come with me quickly.”

Amon’s eyes turned cold, “You reserved demon, it’s about time you listened.”

But the little Siamese cat was both stubborn and clingy.

He thought, it had been over eight thousand years, and He had finally met His father. He hadn’t stayed long and now had to leave, how could that be possible!

He was truly stubborn. He had poked His head out earlier, but now He shrank back, hiding under the clothes.

Such a small kitten, yet so full of tricks.

Amon couldn’t just go and grab Him out, otherwise He would burrow into His father’s clothes, and even if His father was oblivious, he would surely notice something was amiss.

But then again, a father who hadn’t noticed anything unusual by now was truly obtuse.

Amon’s gaze was complex as he delivered an ultimatum. “Botis, now is not the time to be willful.”

The little Siamese cat didn’t answer, suddenly poking out a pair of eyes and saying, “You’re just jealous of my closeness with Father!”

Well, that was the last straw!

Amon exploded, his tail bristling first as his powers instantly activated.

The two cats fought fiercely.

Soon after, the little Siamese cat, defeated in the battle of powers, was forced to leave His beloved father. He was flung onto a cold table, facing a youth of indistinguishable gender. Behind the youth were dark bookshelves, clearly some kind of library.

The surroundings were quiet, as it was late and most people had gone home.

Seeing His appearance, the androgynous youth’s eyes widened, an “Ah” not quite making it out of their mouth.

Botis recognized Inpos first, while Inpos couldn’t tell it was Botis from the Siamese cat’s appearance.

Inpos paused for a moment, looking up to see Amon appearing as well.

Inpos said to Amon. “You caught Botis?”

Amon nodded, “It’s Him. He was hiding on Father and refused to come down. I brought Him here.”

“…”

Inpos felt a bit sympathetic, understanding Botis’s attachment all too well. He probably just wanted to cling to Father and didn’t want to leave. Even when Botis was a small snake, He often hung on Father.

But there was no choice, as they were right at the point of discussing Botis’s history. They needed Botis Himself to explain the situation no matter what.

So Inpos spoke directly. “Tell me about your history first.”

The little Siamese cat stared at him, then transformed into a cold youth of indeterminate gender.

Short, cool black hair, skin so pale it was almost transparent, long and thick eyelashes, with vertical pupils of stunning beauty.

Botis: “If we finish quickly, I can go back to see Father, right?”

Inpos nodded, “Yes.”

Please, He was the demon most eager to get this over with.

Amon looked at Botis, “You don’t want Father to discover our identities and learn about your dark history either, right?”

“…”

Botis didn’t think He had any dark history, just… a lot of slander and rumors about Him in history.

Finally, He nodded.

Inpos sighed in relief, having thought Botis wouldn’t cooperate, but He turned out to be quite agreeable.

Then, Amon looked at Botis, “Marbas and Vassago, let Them out too.”

Botis didn’t ask why, casually swatting the air. A few seconds later, two cats fell from the ceiling, crashing heavily. The red cat landed first, with the big fat white cat falling on top, leaving the red cat seeing stars.

Vassago came to His senses, fuming with anger. How dare you, Botis, to go against the third brother, don’t you respect me at all!

Vassago was about to bristle too, immediately wanting to attack Botis.

Amon raised his hand to stop him, saying to Vassago. “Don’t fight, we’re all here. Only the stupid Cele is left with Father, shouldn’t you two hurry back?”

“What?!”

Vassago’s anger instantly dissipated. Right, Father’s safety was more important!

The white cat immediately grabbed the red cat and went back.

Botis wished He was the one being taken back, but Amon turned His head with a cold gaze.

Botis inwardly snorted, just wait until I’m done with this, Father will be mine, and there won’t be any share for you all!

“By the way… everyone is talking about it.”

Botis suddenly remembered the mental domain and asked Amon. “What should we do?”

“…”

Amon was silent for a moment, then said indifferently. “Ignore it, it’s just a matter of time. Everyone will find their own way.”

Botis: “Is that so?”

“Besides….Father is busy lately, He shouldn’t be disturbed by our matters.”

Then, Amon suddenly smiled and said, “Moreover, we all found Father on our own, They should find Father by themselves too. Why should we tell Them?”

Botis’s eyes changed, finding this very reasonable.

First come, first served. The children who come first get benefits, isn’t that the natural order of things?

Amon also transformed from a cat to a human, putting on an elegant youthful face, and said, “Compared to Them, what’s more important now is rewriting history and finding out who’s behind all this.”

“Who’s behind this?”

Botis was stunned.

“That’s right.”

Amon then told Botis everything.

After listening, Botis’s expression was unpredictable, His killing intent already permeating the entire library. If it weren’t for Inpos controlling it, the entire Imperial City of the Aust Empire would have trembled and fallen into great fear.

Father had been victimized. There was actually someone behind the scenes trying to kill their father, and after so many years, they still hadn’t given up on harming him.

They even camped at the resurrection point, how despicable and detestable!

Botis gritted His teeth. If the culprit were in front of Him right now, He would surely tear them to pieces.

Amon explained. “Aelioge and Beelzebub are investigating separately. But the mastermind behind this is truly worthy of someone who’s been hiding for thousands of years, not easy to reveal themselves.”

Botis said coldly. “Or perhaps, they’ve already appeared?”

Amon’s eyes darkened. “Alright, you explain your situation first. Inpos and I are preparing something big.”

Botis: “What big thing?”

“A history release conference!”

Amon suddenly smiled.

Well, they’ve thought that far ahead? Botis was somewhat convinced, staring at Amon’s youthful face, “Speaking of which, don’t you have a lot of dark history too?”

“Mine?”

Amon’s smile remained unchanged, “Rather than believing in me, you should believe more in Father’s humanity. Things that Father wouldn’t do, we wouldn’t do either. You and I should understand this best.”

Botis didn’t deny it, because it was the truth.

Whenever He was about to step out of [orbit], the image of His father and His father’s patient teachings would always appear in His mind.

He couldn’t do those things, just like They could never betray their father.

Inpos watched the two demons with dark histories communicate, not expressing any opinion on this.

What could be said? Them siblings were truly unchanging even after thousands of years.

****

On the other side, the white cat and red cat hurried back home, finding that it had grown dark, and their father was still reading, looking completely focused and undistracted.

They knew not to disturb him in this situation, lest they affect their father’s insights.

So the two cats quietly climbed onto the table, meeting the gaze of the Munchkin cat among the pile of books.

The three cats looked at each other wordlessly.

What they didn’t expect was that Xiu Si was so immersed in thought that… he fell asleep.

Xiu Si had one hand supporting his elbow, his palm propping up his face, eyes completely closed.

The white cat also fell asleep. The red cat was drowsy. Even the Munchkin cat couldn’t resist the urge to sleep.

This was a strange thing, as if Xiu Si’s magic power and state had affected Them.

After about fifteen minutes, the three cats were sound asleep.

A few seconds later, an extremely beautiful youth with an extremely cold demeanor appeared from the void.

His gaze was as calm as the night sky, slowly sweeping over the three cats on the table. Then He carried Them one by one back to their cat beds.

After that, He also carried His father back to bed.

His form seemed to be just a phantom, yet He could touch physical objects.

He gazed at the young man on the bed for a long time, thoughts unknown, His eyes seemingly calm yet hiding turbulent emotions.

Just then, Xiu Si, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, as if sensing something.
