After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 91.1
Upon seeing Buer’s private message, Bachin became furious on the spot.
Oh, so it’s the Roman Kingdom, you cat-headed demons are hiding Father’s whereabouts!
He smashed the table with His fist.
And right after that, Buer, unaware of anything, added Bachin to the cat-headed demons’ group chat.
Now Bachin knew everything.
How dare you cat-headed demons even create a group chat, isolating those of us who don’t know. Ahhh, how infuriating and hateful!
Bachin immediately looked at the group members and was even more shocked – goodness, so many demons knew about this, even His fourth brother Samikina was in there! Although his avatar hadn’t been changed to a cat head yet.
He gritted His teeth and continued reading, quickly seeing a pinned “Previously On” update post, which clearly stated that Aelioge was the first one to discover it!
“Aelioge, you bastard!”
Bachin gritted His teeth, His eyes shooting lasers with anger.
To think He had even helped that Aelioge visit the God of Chaos, when all along Aelioge knew everything. He was the origin of this evil, the chief culprit who deceived Father!
This was the first time in thousands of years that Bachin had been so angry. Who cares about controlling the Chaos Domain anymore, forget it!
He severed the connection with a wave of His hand, vengefully read through the previous updates, confirmed that neither His first nor second brother was among the cat-headed demons, then gave a cold laugh and immediately vanished.
Father, I’m coming!!
****
Meanwhile.
The ragdoll cat playing with a wool ball in the room rolled over, seeming quite happy.
She thought to Herself that She was such a good demon. Although She wouldn’t actively tell the uninformed demons about Father’s return, it was fine to mention it to those who already knew.
The ragdoll cat felt She was truly Father’s good child – who else had such family love as She did?
But why was Bachin still wandering outside when She already knew… could it be…
The ragdoll cat covered Her mouth with Her paw, Her pupils shaking, exclaiming in shock. “He-He couldn’t have forgotten about Father and stopped caring about Father, could He!”
What a despicable demon! He’s so unfilial!
The ragdoll cat ground Her teeth in anger and continued sharpening Her claws, thinking about giving Bachin a few punches when they met.
The forest cat sunbathing nearby caught a glimpse of the ragdoll cat’s movements from the corner of Her eye, tilted Her head, wondering what was troubling Her sister.
She didn’t understand, but right after, the earth began to shake.
A terrifying demonic power swept across the Roman Kingdom, causing violent spatial fluctuations.
The magic tower of the Roman Kingdom immediately sounded its alarms.
“Wh-what’s going on?”
The military quickly dispatched people, rushing to the observation bureau of the magic tower.
The magic tower detected extremely frightening intelligence.
“It’s the Abyss Lord Bachin. Hasn’t He already moved to subspace? Why is He suddenly descending upon the Roman Kingdom?”
The young person was in a panic, almost screaming, but the elder maintained a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.
The elder said, “Don’t be nervous, this happens often. If it’s trouble, we can’t escape it. He’s probably just passing by.”
Hearing this, the young person didn’t know whether to move or stay still.
On another side, Beleth, who was still feeding pigeons, looked up at the sky with a surprised gaze and said softly, “What’s wrong with Bachin, throwing such a big tantrum.”
The sky was shrouded in demonic power, forming a huge magical vortex. Strong winds howled and the sea of clouds surged, presenting an apocalyptic scene.
Such a spectacle naturally drew the attention of all humans in the city.
Some people sensed the danger, while others thought it was just a weather phenomenon, leading to various discussions.
These days, due to the activities of otherworld gods, there were spectacular phenomena happening daily around the world. Had it finally reached the Roman Kingdom?
Beleth slowly stood up, suddenly paused His gaze, and turned to look next door.
A young man suddenly appeared, staring at Him intently, looking very angry.
How could He not recognize that this was Bachin?
Beleth was stunned for a moment. Being a slow-witted demon with a broad mind and stout body, He was always half a beat behind in reactions, not immediately understanding what was happening.
He only knew that Bachin had again stayed up for who knows how many nights, evident from His very obvious dark circles.
Bachin didn’t waste words, asking directly, “Where is Father?”
Beleth blinked and directly pointed out the direction with His hand.
Bachin vanished instantly.
Several seconds later, Beleth finally came to His senses, thinking, who leaked the information this time?
It wasn’t Him.
****
At this time, the forest cat was grooming the ragdoll cat when suddenly the room shook.
Both cats raised their heads simultaneously, their gazes turning toward the window, where they saw a blue and white British Shorthair cat walking in fiercely, with an imposing manner and very angry.
The ragdoll cat immediately sat up, saying happily, “Oh oh, little brother Bachin, you’re here.”
The forest cat didn’t understand the situation – how did Bachin know? She sensed Bachin’s displeasure, but the question was…
The forest cat asked curiously: “Bachin, shouldn’t you be helping Aelioge?”
The blue and white cat gave a cold laugh, squinting His eyes and saying, “I won’t help Him anymore. Aelioge is the primary culprit, He deserves to get lost and beaten up inside the God of Chaos!”
The ragdoll cat was suddenly startled, Her head sweating, thinking what was all this about?
She had thought Aelioge had told Bachin, but apparently not?
The forest cat finally understood the blue and white cat’s trigger point. She smiled and slowly walked in front of the blue and white cat, the size difference between the big cat and small cat was very noticeable.
The forest cat looked down and said, “Bachin, we only just found out too, don’t be angry.”
The blue and white cat paused, looking at the forest cat with complex emotions.
His relationship with Valefor was actually quite good, they often had business dealings and would entrust each other with various tasks.
He wasn’t very angry with Valefor, but with other demons, He was furious, especially with Aelioge.
The blue and white cat angrily said, “Sixth sister, don’t you think they went too far? We’re all one family of demons! They asked for my help but still kept secrets from me!”
The forest cat: “Haha, yes, they did go too far.”
Meanwhile, the small-legged cat heard the meowing arguments and suddenly jolted, poking His head out from the doorway, His light green eyes watching the commotion by the window sill.
The blue and white cat turned to look and angrily shouted at the little short-legged cat. “Cele!”
The little short-legged cat was scared, His paws shrank back, and He fell on His bottom.
The ragdoll cat saw this and angrily swatted the blue and white cat with a paw, “Why are you shouting so loud, you scared our brother.”
The blue and white cat was almost knocked off the balcony by the sudden paw swat, His cat eyes widened in disbelief as He said, “How did your strength grow even more?”
The ragdoll cat crossed Her arms and confidently puffed up Her chest, saying, “Because I’ve been training!”
Training what, you’re practicing punches too?
The blue and white cat was dumbfounded, discovering that His tenth sister was still the same old silly self, but no matter how much you train, when it comes to getting hit, it’s still one punch!
He smiled and said, “Big brother can defeat magic with one punch. When big brother comes, none of you will be able to escape!”
“You!”
The ragdoll cat felt anxious upon hearing this and pouted, “Stop talking, you anime-obsessed demon!”
The blue and white cat seemed to have been hit at a weak spot and retorted, “Who’s anime-obsessed?”
The ragdoll cat confronted back, “You are, you definitely are!”
In the blink of an eye, the two cats started bickering intensely.
But Bachin didn’t come here to argue with the ragdoll cat.
He ignored them, leaped onto the wool carpet in a few steps, walked past the little short-legged cat with a somewhat complicated look in His eyes, then turned to look at the study.
The little short-legged cat trembled, unsure what to do, and just watched as the blue and white cat walked in.
The ragdoll cat and forest cat exchanged glances, preparing to follow.
However, immediately afterward, a loud meow suddenly rang out.
The blue and white cat, tears in his eyes with excitement, pounced directly toward His father, then let out series of meows, crying profusely, and clung tightly to the person.
The little short-legged cat secretly peeked inside, his cat pupils contracting sharply.
The ragdoll cat came over, lay down at the doorway to look, and Her cat pupils also shook.
What’s the commotion? The forest cat wondered, then walked over.
The three cats lined up at the doorway like stacked blocks, mouths agape, grinding their teeth in anger.
That detestable blue and white cat, actually getting hugs and kisses and being lifted high by Father!
Ah, and face nuzzling too, how infuriating!
They saw it all, all three pairs of cat eyes saw it – the blue and white cat opening his paws asking for hugs, and even rubbing faces!
Is this your revenge tactic?
Have to say, it’s very effective! Jealousy transformed their faces completely!
The two cats were so angry they were jumping. Below them, the little short-legged cat pressed his paws together, his eyes showing deep envy.
The ragdoll cat angrily said, “Shameless demon!”
The forest cat seemed to see through Bachin, with a dead look in her eyes saying, “Totally anime-obsessed, as expected.”
Cat cuddling with human, how shameful! Stop it right now!
The little short-legged cat didn’t understand what “anime-obsessed” meant, tilted his head, and stared intently.
Half an hour later, Xiu Si came to the three cats with the blue and white cat, squatted down and said, “Bachin has come back too.”
At this time, the blue and white cat was still hanging on His father’s shoulder, paws holding tight – he looked nothing like a cat, more like a sloth!
The two cats gritted their teeth, really wanting to scratch Him down and give Him left hooks, right hooks, combo punches, and rubber punches, to teach Him a lesson about messing with Father!
Fortunately, the blue and white cat had some sense of shame and obediently jumped down, turning to say to His father with reddened eyes.
“Father meow, are you busy meow?”
Xiu Si nodded, gently stroking the cat’s face, “Yes, I’ve been studying some alchemy lately.”
“Meow!”
The blue and white cat’s eyes glowed, thinking “Father working hard is so cool!”
The two cats beside Him bristled. “Can you fix your habit of shooting laser beams from your eyes? What if you blind Father!”
Xiu Si was indeed dazzled, appearing momentarily stunned.
The blue and white cat was startled, saying remorsefully, “Meow, Father, I didn’t mean to meow, I’ll be more careful meow.”
The two cats beside Him scoffed, at least He knows to correct His mistakes, but this meowing transformation speed is too fast, truly an anime-obsessed demon!
Xiu Si smiled, not minding it, and even praised the blue and white cat, “Your eyes are still as beautiful as before.”
The blue and white cat froze, instantly becoming happy, seeming to think in His mind, “Ah ah ah Father praised my eyes, I’ll never blink again in this lifetime.”
Meanwhile, the two cats beside Him were shocked, eyes widened – how infuriating, why did He get praised!
We want to be praised too!
The two big cats looked pitifully at Xiu Si, who turned back with a smile and praised. “You’re all very beautiful.”
Upon hearing this, the two cats became happy too, bubbles seemingly floating above their heads as they swayed in perfect sync.
Xiu Si patted each of their heads, thinking how adorable his daughters were. He stood up, counting his children, and noticed some cubs had come back but disappeared again, like the red cat and the calico cat.
What were they all doing, not even telling their father?
Xiu Si’s eyes darkened, but he probably knew. Because they had mentioned before that they were going to help find uncles and aunts.
The world was too vast, finding them wouldn’t be easy, but with many cubs working together, the search would be faster.
The children’s filial piety made their father pleased, but also worried.
Xiu Si fell silent, his emotions completely visible in his eyes, unable to hide his concern.
The cats paused, looking at each other.
The ragdoll cat nervously looked at Xiu Si, “Father meow, what’s wrong meow?”
Xiu Si lowered his eyes and said, “It’s nothing, just a bit worried about everyone’s safety.”
Meow, we made Father worry, what should we do meow?
The blue and white cat instinctively said, “It’s okay meow! Father don’t worry meow!”
He seemed very confident. Of course, those siblings of His were all tough and hardy, how could anything happen to them.
At this moment, He completely forgot that without Him outside as a coordinate axis, Aelioge and the little black bird were tragically lost inside the God of Chaos’s body. Meanwhile, Barbatos and Morax, who were observing the situation outside, also fell into confusion because they couldn’t contact Aelioge.
The four cats were all very certain about their siblings’ safety.
The old father was soon made to smile, gradually becoming reassured, he could feel that the children weren’t just saying things casually, they probably knew each other’s situations, after all, they had a shared mental domain.
Though it was regrettable that he couldn’t enter the mental domain himself.
“It’s been so many years and uncles and aunts haven’t been found, finding people is so difficult, don’t push yourselves too hard, okay?”
He made eye contact with each of the four children, reminding them not to overexert themselves.
The ragdoll cat and forest cat nodded firmly.
The blue and white cat nodded along, pausing imperceptibly for a moment, as if hesitating whether to confess everything, but ultimately didn’t say anything.
The little short-legged cat had no opinion of his own, nodding to whatever Father said, looking so docile and adorable it melted hearts.
After chatting for quite a while, Xiu Si returned to his study first.
“You all play outside, if anything happens feel free to find Father anytime.”
The blue and white cat was about to follow, but was caught by the tail by the two cats.
The blue and white cat got angry, turning around saying, “What are you doing?”
The ragdoll cat snorted, pointing at the blue and white cat’s head saying, “Let’s align our intelligence first, to prevent you from talking nonsense.”
The blue and white cat stared at Her for a few seconds, “Fine, let’s align. Speak.”
“Wait a moment.”
The forest cat counted the siblings present with her paw, suddenly having an idea, her lips curling upward.
“I have an idea, we can do that thing!”
What thing? The little short-legged cat was confused.
****
Ten minutes later, the four cats were actually playing mahjong in the living room.
The mahjong table came from the blue and white cat, the mahjong set from the forest cat.
The forest cat had loved mahjong for years but often couldn’t find enough demons to play with. Today, they finally had enough demons.
None of the present demons didn’t know how to play, because their father knew mahjong – how could they, as father’s children, not know how to play?
“Pung!”
The ragdoll cat took the tile that Celerios had just discarded, clearly an experienced player.
The little short-legged cat lost several rounds, His expression growing darker. He felt that His brothers and sisters seemed to be targeting Him specifically. Meow wuwu.
The forest cat raised Her eyes to look at the blue and white cat, drew a tile, and said, “You probably know what the situation is now, right?”
If someone happened to stumble in and see this scene, their worldview would definitely be shocked, unforgettable for life.
The afternoon sunlight slanted in, streaming into the room strand by strand.
Four cats of different breeds surrounded a small table, using their short paws to grab and draw tiles, playing seriously back and forth.
This was simply not a scene humans could comprehend!
Hearing the forest cat’s question, the blue and white cat’s paw reached right for the brown cup, elegantly taking a sip of coffee, thus saving His thousand-pound eyelids.
He should be comfortably sleeping in Father’s arms right now, not playing cards with these demons!
But what could He do, with these fellows around, He couldn’t do many things with Father, how infuriating, they just reunited, couldn’t they give some space?
The blue and white cat was full of resentment internally, but still answered the forest cat, “I know, you’re investigating history on one hand, pursuing the behind-the-scenes mastermind on another, searching for the Primordial God of Humans and Goddess of Harmony on yet another, and Amon has also set up a trap with the Human Alliance to see if they can fish out the mastermind, with demons acting on three or four fronts, right?”
The forest cat nodded, “That’s about right.”
