I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 61

Lu Mi saw the scene of the birth of the Red Dragon.

He saw one dragon after another challenging the tower.

Even though no dragon had succeeded in the long history, there would always be a next dragon appearing after a while to continue.

These dragons came from completely different branches of the dragon race, some were snow white, some were jade green, some were as black as night…

They transformed into huge holographic dragon shadows in this space, their fighting spirit was so palpable that Lu Mi, who was in the midst of it, felt an inexplicable vibration.

Every failed dragon, they would drag their last breath to climb the volcano, and then throw themselves in without hesitation, like a heart-shaking sacrifice, dying to live.

What was left were their last unwilling roars before death, and the star fire that burned their shells all over the sky.

Lu Mi, standing in this space, just passed by the phantom images of countless different dragons.

Then, he saw Agare – to be precise, it was the last power released by countless dragons before their death combined with this volcano, giving birth to a miraculous dragon egg.

“So that’s how you were born…” He looked at the space, at the Red Dragon perched on the volcano, “You came here, perhaps it’s part of fate.”

“Now, have you remembered your mission, Kier?”

“Roar————!”

In response to him was a loud roar from the dragon, and then it spread its wings and flew towards him without hesitation.

The explosive breath and scorching flame that came on his face did not make him take a step back.

He opened his arms, as if to welcome…

——Let me see your power.

The mutants gathered under the volcano suddenly felt the temperature rise.

The volcano, which originally only had an explosive range at the mouth of the volcano, its churning magma boiled instantly and splashed towards the sky.

The scorching magma flowed down densely, and the golden-red dragon waiting outside the volcano suddenly looked up.

The huge pupils of it narrowed slightly in surprise, “……! I can’t believe I would be surprised…”

It was the first to feel the terrifying aura that was constantly rising.

Finally, a dazzling firelight broke through the rising billows of black smoke, like the dawn piercing the night.

Whoosh——

The Red Dragon flapped its wings, blowing away the thick smoke that obscured the view, and in the next moment, everyone suddenly saw the situation on the mountain.

Everyone was momentarily speechless.

The figure that appeared in the magma, seemed like a golden sun god stepping out of the firelight.

“He is…” Everyone’s lips trembled slightly.

The originally silver pupils of the youth turned into a radiant golden red, like the brilliance of the rising sun illuminating the horizon.

He had added many pieces of armor for combat on his body, the burning golden fire patterns adorned the cuffs and corners of his robe, the aura around his body was sharp, too dazzling to look directly at.

Some people’s faces suddenly showed a fanatical look, their bodies suddenly convulsed violently, “The sun that has been absent from the Eastern Area for a thousand years, has it finally risen?!”

In the next instant, the youth raised his right hand, which was covered with a black glove——

Bang!

A silver-blue light broke out of the mountain in an instant, carrying the magma that had not yet been exhausted, quickly rushed into his palm, and was firmly grasped in the blink of an eye.

The golden-red patterns were faintly flowing on the silver spear.

The magma that could originally melt the dragon’s body, at this moment, became as harmless as pure water, and was gently wiped away by the youth.

Lu Mi clenched his fingers, very satisfied with the feel of the weapon in his hand. He then nodded, and swung the silver spear in the air.

Everyone unconsciously chased after the attack.

The huge shock wave swept across the mountains, heading straight for the sky, all the way pointing to the tower on the horizon.

Boom——!

Like a war post knocking on the door, it hit the protective shield of the tower, stirring up dense cracks.

In an instant, the creature inside the tower responded angrily, the entire tower began to shake, as if the creature inside was slowly crawling out.

“God!?” The sea race guarding the tower on the ground was at a loss, their faces pale.

They turned their heads to look at the distant volcano again, the brilliance there could be seen even here, not to mention the momentum that could shake the sky.

“What, what happened??”

“You all step back.” A voice suddenly came.

“Leader!?” The guards looked surprised at the disheveled Agares, “You’re here? What is this?”

He was covered in steam mixed with blood, as if he had just crawled out of a bloody battlefield.

Agares didn’t answer, he just slowly raised his head.

So everyone noticed his eyes, like a shattered and crumbling mirror, fragile and sharp, mixed with desperate yet barely maintaining sanity madness.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Agares suddenly used his authority as a law protector, removed all the defenses of the tower, and opened a layer of the door.

“You, what are you doing!?” Everyone was horrified, “There will be divine punishment——!”

“Divine punishment?” Agares smirked, his eyes scared everyone back a step, “Ah, right…”

He looked towards the direction of the volcano in a listless and inexplicable way, “The divine punishment is coming.”

That was the real divine punishment.

The tower had opened to him.

Lu Mi stepped onto the back of the Red Dragon.

At this point, the Red Dragon, having absorbed the power of the volcano and fully awakened, had become even larger than a mature dragon.

Its golden dragon eyes were filled with an alien coldness, the once naive young dragon, undoubtedly, had evolved into a real beast.

It was a disaster that had already awakened, and only one person in this world held its reins.

“Fly, Kier.”

With the command from the youth on its back, the Red Dragon violently spread its wings.

At this moment, no one could stop their flight.

The golden-red dragon that had been lying on the volcano saw this, took a deep breath, and then also violently flew into the sky.

“Is this okay?” Lu Mi glanced at the dragon during the flight.

He knew that the other party was just a remnant of consciousness, not only did it not have much power, but it also could not leave a specific location – once it left, it meant that the other party would soon dissipate.

The Earth Dragon chuckled, “Witness the death of the false god, witness the new god declaring war on the world! I didn’t have much time left originally, naturally, I want to pick the most grand moment to leave!”

After saying that, he paused slightly, and chuckled, “It seems that it thinks so too.”

On the vast and boundless sea surface, with the sudden surging waves, the blue dragon flew out in the eyes of countless sea races.

So Lu Mi said nothing more.

When that dragon-like monster flew out of the tower, he was even unusually calm.

Probably because he knew that this war had no suspense from the beginning, the significance of defeating it was not even as great as transcending the residual consciousness of the gods.

That monster was like a combination of a bird and a dragon race, with pure white wings, barely beautiful–but Lu Mi and the others saw at a glance that it was just a skin that the false god had put on.

“Newborn god from a foreign land, why disturb my rule…”

The false god seemed to want to speak, the breath it exhaled made the sky tremble slightly, as if it was about to tear apart in the next second.

But Lu Mi had no interest in talking to it at all, and immediately stabbed it with a spear.

“Roar——!!”

The pair of pure white wings were instantly torn apart, revealing the originally black membrane wings wrapped inside.

“…”

Everyone was stunned and widened their eyes, “Why would the Sky God…?”

At this point, combined with the previous variety, how many people could not understand what happened.

“That is, fake? We have been deceived all along——!?”

Some people collapsed, some people couldn’t believe it, but more people still focused on the battlefield, focusing on the golden figure surrounded by two dragons.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Mi’s silver spear pierced through the false god’s chest, “Hmm?”

He quickly raised an eyebrow, it was too easy, and the feel of the spear tip was wrong.

“Watch out above!” The Earth Dragon, who knew the Eastern Area like the back of his hand, let out a low roar.

Without the other party’s reminder, Lu Mi was the first to raise his head and raise his spear to rush over.

But other people who realized later looked up at the sky, and couldn’t help but be frightened by the things that appeared in the sky.

——That was like a labyrinthine entangled, some creature’s “body”.

That huge black dragon, it had already occupied the entire sky early on, and had been hidden in the dense clouds of the Eastern Area all along.

“No wonder! The reason for not allowing other creatures in the Eastern Area to fly must be to prevent them from discovering its true form floating in the sky.

A soft, cold breath came, and then, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened in the sky.

It noticed: Its puppet, placed on the earth to devour souls, had been broken.

“Who is it——” A hoarse voice, woken from sleep.

Everyone, upon seeing those eyes like blood moons, suddenly felt dizzy, followed by a constant desire to retch from their stomachs.

Souls, they seemed to see countless twisted souls struggling and wailing, imprisoned in those eyes.

The most distraught were the majority of the sky race, because they knew very well where those souls came from.

“In order to serve our god… because, it’s God’s command…” They murmured with unfocused eyes.

They were the dependents of the Sky Dragon, and its command was absolute to them. So even collecting souls, which polluted their pure origin with resentment and even stained their wings gray—

“Because God said he wanted to live…” Because their god said he needed to supplement his lifespan to live, “Even if we are stained with sin for this, we… we…!”

They endured everything to this day, but the truth they got brought them almost tearing pain.

“Then go and atone!” Gray Crow who came here looked at these fellow tribesmen, then looked up at the sky, “That person is fighting for the Eastern Area, for everyone’s freedom, now is not the time for you to feel sorry for yourselves!”

“…”

Right, that person.

The sky race slowly looked up, looking at the gold standing under the shadow, the never-fading light was like the sun that always hung high, illuminating the eternal night of the Eastern Area.

“That is, the new god from another area…is a deity born in such an era…”

A strange feeling suddenly rose in their hearts, bringing them a bit of warmth in the deadly cold.

“Right, that… thing, it relies on the souls in its body to replenish energy, as long as we can touch its body, we can take back those devoured souls.”

“But it’s in the sky, we can’t touch it at all.”

“Who says we can’t.” Gray Crow looked up at the figure fighting with the Black Dragon.

That touch of gold, against the backdrop of the dark sky, had a sense of one person fighting against the whole world.

“Please let us fly——” Gray Crow suddenly put his hands together and silently prayed to that person.

Lu Mi, who was entangled with the Black Dragon, paused.

His sharp spear wind casually cut open the Black Dragon’s body, all the way along its boundless body, it was invincible.

Thus, he hated dealing with creatures with particularly large bodies, chopping vegetables and cutting melons took a long time, it was really troublesome.

Lu Mi responded leisurely to the prayer in his ear amidst the Black Dragon’s painful roar.

“I’ll respond to you for now.” The golden deity slightly lowered his eyes, looking at those faces of despair and panic, “Let me see what you can do.”

So, all the sky race suddenly felt light.

Their gray wings were suddenly cleansed, the messengers of the old sky seemed to reappear, like a bird suddenly spreading its wings.

For the first time in history, even though at this moment, they were rushing towards the huge monster in the sky like moths to a flame, their hearts were unprecedentedly relaxed——

“We are flying…”
