I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 45

Kano glanced at Lu Mi, who moved his lips but didn’t get a chance to say anything.

“Why won’t you look at me…”

“Why won’t you look at me!!”

As the golden deity turned his head, the Asura King suddenly roared like a demon, his body swelling with black energy, casting a shadow that darkened the sky.

“King!?” The giants called out in panic, but their voices couldn’t reach him. Even so, they didn’t retreat.

At this point, Lu Mi finally turned his head and said calmly, “Then I’ll ask you something.”

What? The Asura King quieted down.

Lu Mi looked down at him, “After knowing my relationship with the fairy species, why do you think I would extradite you who have killed so many fairy species.”

“..…”

— My head hurts so much!

The Asura King’s face was unclear, wrapped in black energy. He suddenly held his head and let out an indistinct roar.

The pitch-black death aura was extremely fierce, making everyone present feel incredibly shocked!

Lu Mi showed no surprise. In his mental space, the Book of Keys was flipping faster and faster.

The ghost-faced boy saw that the other giants didn’t look surprised. Instead, they were desperately trying to wake up the Asura King. It was obviously not the first time they had encountered this situation with him.

He couldn’t help but mutter, “This mental state… No wonder the Asura King has hardly left Asura City since a few years ago…”

The next second, the Asura King suddenly let out a long howl, like a startled beast, he turned his head and ran towards the direction of Asura City.

The giants hurriedly chased after him. The King’s condition was not right! The death aura had never been so severe!

“Great opportunity!” The rebels looked at each other, clenched their fists, “Now is the perfect time to overthrow the Asura species!”

Their eyes were burning, of course, they didn’t forget the golden deity suspended in the sky.

But the golden figure just quietly watched the Asura King leave, seemingly without any intention of taking the next step.

“What are you waiting for?” The ghost-faced boy was the first to come back to his senses. He pressed down on the mask on his face, “Let the leader move the main force to the King’s City, the time for the decisive battle has arrived!”

“Oh…Oh!!” The people finally reacted, they looked at the golden figure with expectation and hesitation, and quickly left for the King’s City and their base.

But the ghost-faced boy didn’t rush to leave. This place was close to the King’s City, and he still had some time before the main force arrived.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but cast his gaze on the deity in the sky who seemed to be lost in thought–what are you thinking about now?

It seemed foolish to speculate on the thoughts of a deity from a mortal’s perspective. But he just couldn’t help but feel curious.

“They really don’t value their lives.” Kano, who was probably the only one present who could understand Lu Mi’s feelings at the moment, suddenly said something inexplicably.

“…Hmm.” Lu Mi responded softly. He naturally knew that the “they” Kano was referring to were not anyone from the Southern Area, but the madmen on the other side of the distant land who were trying to cross the River of Death.

“Do you want me to go and get them?” Kano asked.

Lu Mi: “No need.”

Upon hearing this, Kano said no more. He had no enthusiasm for this matter and was not worried at all–even though he secretly hoped for an “accident” to happen, there were quite a few among those guys who were on par with him in strength. It would be a bit difficult for something to happen…Perhaps a sudden storm could do it.

Stop your dangerous thoughts!!

Thousand Winds had a refreshing smile on his face, and he quietly observed Lu Mi’s expression.

But Lu Mi, who was being watched by many people–he actually didn’t think about anything.

In the end…

Kneel down and rest, I’m tired.

Breaking the silence was a panicked rebel who ran over, “Help, help–! The Asura King, the Asura King has gone mad!!”

This was the beginning of everything going berserk.

A giant–a hundred times larger than before–stood up from the King’s City.

Just the act of standing up changed the wind and clouds, and the howling wind made a thunderous explosion.

He towered over the sky, his feet on the ground, his body wrapped in death aura, like a second raging River of Death. As he moved, one could even hear the wailing of countless resentful spirits.

The main force of the rebel army that had rushed to the bank of the River of Death saw this scene, and countless people immediately fell to their knees, dropping their weapons all over the ground.

“What, what is that monster!!” The oppressive feeling of destroying the world instantly shattered many people’s fighting spirit.

The ghost-faced boy also changed his face and instinctively looked at Lu Mi in the sky.

The golden deity seemed to have expected this, saying, “Over the years, he has killed countless fairy species, and the death aura that haunts him comes from the retribution of the fairy species.”

If this place didn’t have the River of Death, if the ones who died weren’t the most special fairy species in the River of Death, if Lu Mi didn’t happen to arrive at this time and this place…

Being completely devoured was only a matter of time, but Lu Mi’s appearance obviously accelerated this process, bringing the end ahead of time.

“Did you all hear that?” Lu Mi looked at the giants who had hurriedly arrived and were staring at the Asura King, “Your king has completely fallen into a madman with only karma and obsession, it’s time to give up.”

“..…”

A long silence.

Then, not surprisingly, those giants picked up their weapons and stood in front of the Asura King.

Lu Mi saw the familiar black-horned and green-horned giants from among them. Their desperate expressions had already said everything.

“Forget it.” He then said softly.

Perhaps this is the characteristic of abyss species. For any race, the king is a most special existence.

Just like his own significance to the demons.

“I should have known, now there is only one goal–” The black-horned giant suddenly laughed, “The common lord of the abyss demons, the Yindu God of the River of Death, our strongest enemy and ultimate pursuit in history!!”

The eyes of the giants all focused on that golden color, which was all the Asura species that had come out of their nests.

“You really know how to pick opponents.” Kano stood in front of Lu Mi, his golden-brown eyes lit up with a sharp golden light, and the smile did not reach his eyes, “But have you forgotten, I said king against king, servant against servant. You are not qualified to take action against my king.”

“Even so, it’s too arrogant for you to want to deal with all of us alone.” The black-horned giant still held hope in his heart. If Lu Mi could “purify” the death aura on the Asura King…

Under the gloomy sky, the only source of light and the wind demon standing in front of him, and on the other side of them, was a giant army standing on the vast land.

Behind the countless standing giant army, there was an even larger black figure, like a descending Asura demon, casting a scarlet gaze on the world.

This scene was quite impactful, with an unparalleled oppressive feeling overwhelming, as if the sky was about to collapse.

“What, what do we do!?” This was the first time the rebels had seen the full strength of the Asura species, and even speaking seemed to be gasping for breath from a broken wind box.

“What else can we do!” Someone trembled and picked up their weapon again, “We have no way out, this is the final battle!”

The ghost-faced boy who had been observing Lu Mi didn’t see any tension on the other’s face. Although he had witnessed the other’s powerful attack and purifying power, the fact that the two sides were now uneven in strength was a fact.

Even if these Asuras standing all over the land let them chop, with their strong bodies second only to the dragon race, it would probably take three days and three nights to kill them all.

And the ghost-faced boy was very interested in the title that the black-horned giant had just mentioned–he had witnessed the Yindu God of the River of Death, but… the common lord of the abyss demons?

The next moment, everyone suddenly heard a sigh.

Incredibly, amidst the howling wind and the Asura King’s mad roar, they could still hear that sigh so clearly.

Everyone instinctively followed the sound and looked towards that brilliant golden color.

Then, they saw those golden wings spread out, and at that moment, the silver-eyed youth reached out into the void.

But the moment he made this move, the man who had been accompanying him with ease suddenly became solemn.

Kano didn’t even care about the attack that might come from behind at any time. He suddenly turned his back on all the Asura species who were watching him closely, and knelt down on one knee towards the silver-eyed youth in the sky.

— From the moment the silver-eyed youth used his “authority”, the mark of the contract began to flash wildly.

The demon Thousand Winds shed his usual cheerfulness and composure, and quickly switched to another identity, that of the demon and his master.

Kano’s sudden serious expression made everyone who had always seen him smiling feel a bit uncomfortable.

But the Asura species were even more horrified. A familiar ominous premonition filled the heart of the black-horned giant. The last time he had this premonition, he had watched him awaken into the Yindu God. This time–what was it this time!?

“Not good, stop him quickly!!” Familiar words, familiar pleas, familiar helplessness.

The giants pushed off the ground, leaped into the air, and raised their weapons towards that person–

Buzz–

A strange buzzing sound suddenly spread from the void.

The next moment, everyone’s head suddenly hurt, and even the Asura King, who was recklessly destroying the King’s City, froze for a moment.

That was a sign of a higher power descending.

As a “newcomer”, Shi Guang, although he hadn’t digested many rules, instinctively bowed his head.

Then, the silver-eyed youth took out a book from the void.

— It did have the form of a book, but the flowing patterns and glow on the cover were something no one had ever seen before.

Everyone just glanced at that book, which hadn’t even been opened, and it was as if their souls had been sucked out by some force, and then thrown into the void, where they were just a speck of dust.

Then they saw countless universes, and countless stars. They stood in the midst of the universe, between the stars, falling towards a huge planet… The bell rang, they flew across the endless sky, from one end of the world to the other…

They flew across the river of time, vaguely seeing the beginning of the world’s formation, and then the bell rang again, the stars fell, and they were still a speck of dust.

In front of this vast knowledge, in front of this supreme law, everyone seemed insignificant.

The silver-eyed youth didn’t even give the attacking giant a glance. The other party was blocked by an invisible shield and couldn’t advance an inch.

“Huff–!!” When their bodies were triggered to protect themselves, everyone couldn’t control themselves and fell to the ground, taking the opportunity to look away.

There were gasps of breath coming from all around, they held their almost suffocating hearts, and those with keen senses were shedding physiological tears like crazy.

“What is… that…?”

Incomprehensible.

That was something they couldn’t understand, and the youth holding that book was an existence they couldn’t understand.

The giant who had tried to attack the silver-eyed youth was frozen in the air for a while, and finally crashed to the ground, kneeling on one knee and panting heavily.

Lu Mi took in everyone’s reactions, but he wasn’t surprised. This was the first time he had publicly summoned the Book of Keys, and as expected, most people couldn’t bear it.

Let’s speed it up then.

The silver-eyed youth casually flipped open the book, and the lively names on it were already impatient, flashing with dazzling light.

He seemed quite troubled as he scanned it, then decided to go in sequence order.

[The Book of Keys, if based on a certain legend, its true function is actually “summoning”]

In simple terms, everything about the contracted party would become the master of the keys, knowledge, power, and even its own self.

But Lu Mi usually only used the other party’s knowledge, and the number of times he used their power, marked by “enchant”, was even less, and summoning was even rarer.

Thinking of those who were rushing towards the River of Death, he felt that he didn’t need to specifically ask for their opinions this time, because everything was very clear–

So, Lu Mi spoke, “Sequence number two, Fei.”

The page of the book in his hand suddenly turned to the second page, and the name on it shone with an unprecedented brilliance, as if in response.

A huge red door suddenly appeared behind Lu Mi, and everyone could feel the twisted heat coming from behind that door, and the burning flames even flowed out through the door gap.

Faster than the door opening was Lu Mi’s voice, “Sequence number four, Yediel.”

Boom–

Another door fell from the sky, side by side with the red door.

At the same time, the first red door opened with a bang! A figure, surrounded by a red smoke serpent, slowly stepped out from the raging scarlet flames.

Lu Mi continued, “Sequence number nine, Aquimolo.”

Boom–

The third door fell in response.

Each time it was like a blow to everyone’s hearts, challenging the limits of their rationality.

But everyone knew in their hearts that this was just the beginning.
