I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 42

At the same time, on the other side of the abyss far away from the Southern Area.

A beast-type mutant from the Northern Area was crawling fearfully in front of two humanoid figures.

Beast-type Mutant: “The troublemaking groups from other areas that came here were subdued as of yesterday. They requested to be under our Northern Area’s command.”

“Even before we made a move, it’s already over.” The humanoid figure who spoke had the characteristic handsome face of the demon species, a pair of pointed ears, and scarlet eyes that seemed to be smeared with eyeshadow. He spoke with a nonchalant tone, “How boring, the Northern Area has been too peaceful lately. I wonder when it started…”

He appeared to be thinking, then inevitably thought of a silver figure–Ah, right, it started after that person appeared…

The scarlet demon paused, and after a while, he sighed softly, seemingly more disinterested for some reason.

The beast-type mutant looked at the visibly wilting demon, and for a moment, thought it saw a wilting plant. And now, this plant was complaining pitifully: “It’s been a month since anyone watered me, won’t you pay attention to me? If you ignore me any longer, I’ll die. Pay attention to me! Pay attention to me!”

The beast-type mutant was startled by its own imagination–Oh, no, how could the great demon species show such a pitiful appearance?! There must be something wrong with it, it would surely be killed if it was found to have such a disrespectful imagination!

The scarlet demon who had fallen silent didn’t pay attention to the beast-type mutant’s reaction. Instead, another demon with more outwardly radiating aura looked down at the beast-type mutant from above.

The blue-eyed demon had a robust body that was rare even among the demon species. He crossed his arms, revealing his muscular chest, and spoke in a deep voice, “Then arrange them according to the method of the previous batches of subordinates. If there are others who are interested, prioritize them into their troops.”

Others…The beast-type mutant realized, oh, he was talking about the other demon species.

The demon species of the Northern Area had formed an alliance for more than a day or two, but for the beast-type mutant who lived in the past chaotic era, it still couldn’t fully adapt.

Not to mention that now, almost everyone in the Northern Area knew that these demon species were serving the same master. In the past, there were some low-level mutants with weak presence who had the fortune to see that person, but now that person seemed to have gone out to carry out some big plan…..At least, that’s what Alonfus said.

That legendary person was too far away for the beast-type mutant, but it didn’t prevent it from longing for him like a surging river!

It wondered when that person would come back, at least…to let the beings of the Northern Area formally recognize their uncrowned king…

“Hmm?” Just then, the two demon species suddenly looked up.

The scarlet demon suddenly moved his lips, “Do you feel it…” His words were filled with a sense of disbelief and incredulity.

It was as if he was walking on the road and suddenly hit by a billion-dollar lottery, his tone was as fleeting as a soft step.

The blue-eyed demon next to him was equally astonished, but he quickly regained his senses and took a step forward without hesitation, “There’s no mistake! The contract’s sensation is very distant but also very clear!”

The scarlet demon suddenly chuckled softly. In the eyes of the beast-type mutant, who looked at him as if he was a madman, his chuckle turned into a hearty and wild laughter in an instant, “Alonfus has been missing for so long, I don’t believe a word he says! I knew that person must still be in the abyss!”

“The south….Could it be the territory separated by the River of Death.” The blue-eyed demon quickly analyzed calmly, even planning how many monsters to fight on the road, “Can the demon species cross the River of Death…”

Suddenly, a long howl came from the wild wind.

The beast-type mutant looked up in horror, only to see a red giant snake, more than a kilometer long, flying over the abyss.

The red giant snake was wrapped in red smoke, with wings on its back, and each scale was burning like fire. In an instant, the originally dark red sky of the abyss seemed to be ignited by a wildfire, it was a grand spectacle.

“Red Smoke Giant Snake!” The beast-type mutant immediately recognized it, it was indeed the mount of another high-ranking demon in the Northern Area!

It stared intently, and sure enough, it saw a figure standing on the head of the giant snake.

“That guy is really fast!” The scarlet demon pressed his eye corner, “He hasn’t left his house for a while, he really has a bit of a high and mighty look.”

Unfortunately, the failure was just a momentary thing.

If it was usual, the scarlet demon who liked to cause trouble would definitely stop the other party and ridicule him. However, his mood swings were so intense now that he might not be much better than the other party, so he shouldn’t give others a show.

So the next second, the scarlet demon waved his hand outward and suddenly disappeared from the spot, “I’ll go first.”

The echo of his voice dissipated in the wind, leaving only the beast-type mutant and the blue-eyed demon looking at each other.

The blue-eyed demon showed a smile of encouragement to the beast-type mutant, nodded his head in a steady and reliable manner, and then also ran away in an instant…

In the end, only the beast-type mutant was left on the spot, it blinked in confusion, and moved its hooves…

It didn’t know if it was its illusion, but it always felt that the entire Northern Area’s land was slightly shaking. It seemed that countless huge creatures were driving thousands of horses, marching towards the other end of the distance…

So peace is indeed an illusion!

****

Abyss Southern Area.

For those who still didn’t know what had happened, this was still a serious battlefield.

The giant clutched his chest wound, panting heavily, “You can’t…You can’t possibly appear here…”

Before his words fell, the River of Death suddenly surged with a tumultuous tide.

The faint death aura in the air increased instantly, and even the naked eye could catch the pitch-black death aura.

These death auras entwined around the purest human here, like death instinctively embracing life, longing for the vibrant and hot vitality.

This reaction was so intense, so swift.

Seeing this, the giants couldn’t help but laugh out loud, as if their will, shattered by the silver-eyed youth’s thunderous blow, could barely be pieced together again.

“Indeed, the life of another world cannot survive here!”

Standing in the air, Lu Mi was surrounded by swirling black mist. From a distance, it looked as if the River of Death had extended a chain to drag him into the river’s embrace.

The ghost-faced boy had seen countless bodies that wanted to cross the River of Death with their flesh, but were devoured completely. Now seeing this incredibly similar scene, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

Once again, a living being was going to be taken away by this river… Even though this person was the one with the most hope, but because of such a ridiculous reason…This would probably become a regret and nightmare for the boy for the rest of his life.

However, the silver-eyed youth, who everyone was waiting to be devoured, remained calm.

“Is it possible?” Lu Mi suddenly looked at the fairy species next to him.

The fairy species with gold and silver heterochromatic pupils nodded, as quiet and peaceful as a devout believer praying in a church, “I am willing to dedicate everything to you.”

“Waah!” Left Law and Right Law suddenly covered their eyes, leaving only a small gap, “We dare not look!”

To say that Lu Mi entered the Southern Area was certainly not unprepared. Long before stepping through the gate, during the time when the giants had been waiting for a reply for a long time…

He was actually exchanging names with the fairy species.

“I don’t ask you to reclaim our homeland for us, I just hope you can save my compatriots on the giant ship.” The heterochromatic pupil fairy knelt in front of him, the golden ornament on his ankle stained with mottled blood swayed gently, giving a sense of almost holy incomplete beauty.

He looked at the human youth in front of him, but it was like a believer looking up at the statue of a god.

Not expecting a response, just speaking seemed to bring redemption. But this was actually a very pathological attachment.

“All my companions are there…That was my duty.”

However, in reality, he had no playmates since he was a child, and the people he knew had all died in the slaughter, and those who were left were people he didn’t know.

But these were all irrelevant embellishments, no one would be interested in the past of a fairy species that had been exterminated, let alone in terms of results, “The young fairy species should save his people” was absolutely correct.

But he hoped that in the eyes of the person in front of him, he could always be a pure fairy–just like the story he accidentally heard in the human world, a fairy in the fairy tale that represented love and light.

The fairy species with gold and silver heterochromatic pupils had been suffocated by despair in these years of confusion, and the silver-blue light that broke through the enemy’s palm was the only light he could grasp–please help me.

The silver-eyed youth looked at the heterochromatic pupils in front of him, and suddenly sighed silently. Post-war syndrome plus years of confinement, this is also a typical problematic child.

But he has dealt with many difficult types over the years, so let’s take it slow.

Lu Mi gently patted the head of the fairy species with his hand, and the fairy species harmlessly squinted its eyes, rubbing against his palm like a kitten seeking a familiar scent.

Left Law blushed and covered his face in embarrassment on the side.

Kano put down his crossed arms, and one of his eyebrows twitched as if it was moving.

“Alright, let’s end the idle talk here!” The demon made a cross with both hands, and when everyone looked over, he was light-hearted, “Compared to you, can his net power really be obtained by contract?” He spread his hands, “The fairy species seems to have a fundamental difference from us demons you contracted with before.”

“Indeed.” Lu Mi put down his hand and pondered, “The power of the demon species comes from mental power, while the fairy species lies in bloodline.”

“So using power is equivalent to…um…” Left Law tried hard to keep up with the pace of the two, “Extracting bloodline…drawing blood? Those Asura species are using our blood to paint on the ship. Eh! Will this…will this kill us!?”

However, in the end, they didn’t have time to experiment, because Left Law sensed the twins’ crises and stepped into the gate.

So by the River of Death, Lu Mi, who got the affirmative answer from the fairy species, nodded, “Leave it to me, I will save your compatriots.”

Although he had never tried it, he was confident that he could control any potential risks.

The fairy species with gold and silver heterochromatic pupils did not answer, and even their attention was not on their own life safety, but they were fascinated by the reliable posture of the silver-eyed youth at this moment.

He was about to become a part of this person’s power.

The silver-eyed youth slightly raised his hand, as if calling for something.

The other giants on the scene keenly sensed something wrong, and the black-horned giant roared in his heart, “He can’t be allowed to succeed, stop him!!”

“Enchant–” But the silver-eyed youth continued unmoved.

“We can’t let you disturb our King.” Kano blocked the others in front of him, refreshed, “Give us these subjects some presence, at least your king has to take action to barely qualify, right?”

In other words, Lu Mi was determined to save the fairy species, so the nature of this matter was different.

It was no longer just a personal conflict, but it had become a contradiction between two groups. Especially the people behind these two groups–one was the king of the Asura species that dominated the Southern Area, and the other was the master of the demon species that dominated the Northern Area.

Judging from the current attitude of the Asura species, they would absolutely not give up this “only hope of crossing the River of Death”, which meant…

“Let’s have a big fight after a long time.” Kano revealed a faintly crazy smile, which was a corner of the gradually active storm, “I don’t care what it will become. Is that okay, Master of the Abyss Demons?”

It might even turn into a war between the two areas.

“What…?!” The giants were shocked by the title revealed by the demon.

Even the relatively closed environment of the Southern Area for many years was enough for them to understand the meaning behind these titles.

Just as the black-horned giant was shocked and hesitant, the silver-eyed youth had already opened the Book of Keys.

The newly entered name was shining on the page, he read, “Shi Guang.” (TL: ‘Release Light’)

——!

Light.

In the abyss that was dark all day, such a brilliant and dazzling light appeared for the first time.

It was as if all the faint lights between heaven and earth gathered in one place, dyeing the sky into an incredible golden glow like the dawn.

It was a power that was as fitting as the name of this fairy species. But for the first time, it bloomed with unprecedented brilliance in the hands of a human youth.

Left Law reached out clumsily to catch the fireflies that were spreading in the air, “I can indeed feel a bit of the power of the fairy species, but…”

Right Law: “But it has never been so exaggerated! No, this has completely gone beyond the scope of the fairy species. How did it do it, and…”

The two of them stared at the figure in mid-air surrounded by light.

–They didn’t know why, but it felt so familiar, as if a long, long time ago, so long ago that they hadn’t been born yet… It was a longing, a yearning that remained in the deepest part of their bloodline…

Then the two of them reacted and quickly looked at their little master, only to see the fairy species named Shi Guang, with its beautiful heterochromatic eyes wide open.

Just as the two were about to ask, they were stunned by the sudden fall of a tear from the corner of the other’s eye, and all words were choked in an instant.

Seemingly completely unaware that he was crying, Shi Guang faced the overly dazzling light and murmured, “Yindu God…” (TL: 引渡 (yin du) = extradite; rendition; deliver; deliver over; extradition)

In an instant, both Left Law and Right Law were shocked, their bodies shuddering violently as they looked up at the sky, and when they finally saw the figure in the light, they felt as if their eight extraordinary meridians had been opened.

In the slightly faded light, the silver-eyed youth had completely changed his posture.

It’s not that his appearance had changed, but because of the completely different clothes, power, temperament… it brought a sense of distance and unfamiliarity.

Those silver eyes were immaculate, and the posture of everyone looking up at him was clearly reflected in them, but people inexplicably felt a sense of guilt and panic–

Because those eyes were too clear, they were filled with a non-human texture, as if… divine.

At the same time, the youth’s clothes changed, and circular light rings were worn on his wrists and ankles, with power flowing in them.

The dazzling gold ornaments were dotted everywhere, and the head ornament falling on his forehead swayed gently with the wind. The crisp sound should have been easily drowned in the noisy tide of the River of Death, but it was so clearly conveyed into everyone’s ears.

For some reason, everyone suddenly remembered that legend that they rarely mentioned, but everyone knew and would never forget–

The Yindu God.

[Lost in the difficulties of the river,]

He hovered above the River of Death, a pair of faintly visible light wings slightly spread behind him, and the death aura that was originally wrapped around his body was instantly washed away as if it had seen its natural enemy.

[If you call devoutly,]

[A golden god will descend from the sky.]

[He reaches out to you,]

People saw him slightly raise his hand, curiously looking at the dancing light at his fingertips, as if adapting to this new power.

[He will ferry you from the sea of death, flying from hell to heaven.]

For a time, there was silence on the banks of the River of Death.
