I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 62
In the usually silent Eastern Area sky, suddenly appeared countless figures of drifting snow.
They fluttered under the pitch-black sky like a scattering snowstorm, rushing towards that gigantic figure.
They passed through the dark clouds, through the thunderstorm, like phoenixes reborn from fire, breaking through a layer of illusion.
“You! What do you want to do!? Mere tools——”
If Lu Mi’s strong attack made him angry, then the actions of these “weaklings” were unbelievable to Him.
“Do you want to abandon your faith!” He questioned loudly.
But this time, those pure snowflake figures did not waver again.
“The biggest lie is to deceive oneself.” Lu Mi said, “Have you forgotten what you are?”
“——!”
His voice made the giant scarlet pupils shrink for a moment.
And at this time, those resolute sky races finally touched the huge body of the dragon.
“This is, our sin…” This realization appeared very clearly in their hearts.
They didn’t want to take anyone’s soul anymore, they didn’t want to use this wrong power anymore, that is——
They looked at that golden figure, and it seemed that light also emerged from the chaotic depths of their eyes.
“This time, it’s not someone’s command, not self-compulsion, we do this with our own will! Even if it’s another mistake, another sin——”
“God, we don’t ask for your forgiveness, please watch us!”
As the words fell, one by one, the white fingertips touched the darkness.
Immediately, countless souls floated out from the body of the black dragon, that was His fading power.
Countless sky races stood in the air, looking up, as if facing their mistakes.
Those souls appeared like stars, over a long time, except for those recently collected, most souls were destined not to return to their original bodies.
Even, some souls’ bodies had been decayed for many years, those souls only left a fragment of chaos.
The black dragon that was suddenly hollowed out obviously couldn’t accept it, He roared loudly in an instant.
A gathering of energy appeared in his wide-open mouth, that was a mysterious dark red, flashing with black lightning.
“Be careful, that’s Dragon Breath!” The Sea Dragon’s face changed, “It’s originally the strongest attack of the dragon race, especially this time the power is very strong, I’m afraid the other party has blocked all the energy!”
“It seems you’ve really pushed it to the edge.” The Earth Dragon didn’t show any signs of tension, even laughing a bit.
The mutants on the ground also sensed something was wrong.
They could clearly see the pitch-black body coiled in the sky, constantly pulsating, then like gathering energy, a series of dark red bright rings surged up, constantly delivering something to the head.
“Will… will we die?”
“It’s… it’s so powerful, just standing here, I’m trembling all over…!”
Some people were uneasy, some were repenting with their hands clasped together.
And some mutants seemed unusually excited. These mutants were mostly young people, who were born after the ancient three gods had passed away, and the false god never showed his face, dwelling in the tower all day.
For a long time, their faith was instilled by the elders, some even leaned more towards non-believers.
But now——
“In the crisis of extinction, the god who saved this world…” They had heard countless versions of this story when they were young.
Now, the ethereal myth finally had a concrete form, as if the black and chaotic picture book suddenly turned into vivid color!
Almost holding their breath, they looked up at every move of that figure, witnessing every moment.
“Roar——!!” A nearly world-destroying black beam descended from the sky.
However, more proactive than it was the red dragon protecting the young man by his side.
“Roar——!!!” The red dragon roared back at the opponent even more fiercely, spitting out scarlet magma from its mouth.
The two beams collided in mid-air, both with a terrifying force that would not give in.
“Bastard!” The false god couldn’t believe that such a young newborn dragon dared to counter his light cannon.
“It dares to roar at me.” The Earth Dragon grinned.
The Sea Dragon on the other side was slightly worried, “Even so, it’s probably not the false god’s opponent…”
“What’s the rush.” The Earth Dragon didn’t care, “Believers protect the gods, and gods will also protect the believers.”
The red dragon dared to be so presumptuous, and why not because its god gave it the audacity and the right.
The Sea Dragon immediately squinted to look, when the red dragon showed signs of inadequacy, the golden god, like dealing with his own child who had finally had enough play, made a move.
A golden red pattern suddenly appeared on the shiny silver spear.
This strike was Lu Mi’s “ordinary” spear.
However, the people on the ground saw from this spear, the boundless sea stirring up surging waves, saw the vast and firm earth cracking mountains.
The violent shock wave made the whole land tremble.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, the slightly higher mountain tops were flattened by the scattered power, shattered into dust and rolled into the gale.
Except for the two original dragons who were not affected too much, everyone else was blown around by the surging wind.
Some mutants immediately fell to their knees, knelt on the ground, and began to bow to the sky in madness, “God, please calm down, calm down…”
The Sea Dragon was surprised, “Is this our… no, the power of the sea and the earth!?”
“You just noticed.” The Earth Dragon said to the stunned Blue Dragon, “Isn’t he also the power of mountains and fire, and besides, there seem to be many strange and powerful reactions.”
“Just by using a weapon imbued with a part of our power, it can resonate with this world to such an extent??” The Blue Dragon’s tone was full of incredulity, it stared at that figure, “I’m becoming more and more unclear, what exactly is he, a god born from…?”
Just like the original three dragons, respectively from the earth, sky, and sea, it was simple and clear, visible at a glance.
However, Lu Mi was truly unable to be seen through.
“No, actually it’s very clear——”
Under the meaningful hint of the Earth Dragon, the Blue Dragon’s heart jumped, and then looked along.
The golden god had already pierced through the false god’s throat with one strike.
——That grand dragon breath ultimately could not block the unstoppable spear.
No matter how powerful the army, it could not stop the invincible war god.
With a light flick of Lu Mi’s fingertip, the silver spear broke out of the black dragon’s throat, and then all the way down, it brought out that beating heart.
“I, I am…” The black dragon seemed to want to say something.
I am a god——
However, the young man’s silent gaze made his words stop abruptly.
The false god suddenly widened his scarlet pupils, reflecting the young man’s current appearance.
That person, carrying the aura of raging fire and proud sun, looked down at him without sadness or joy, without anger, and without pity.
And around the young man were countless souls that had been liberated but still lingered.
The souls surrounded him like stars, embellishing the pitch-black sky, as if it was an endless starry sky.
“Stars…” Suddenly, the false god realized that in this long time, he himself had almost forgotten what the normal starry sky looked like.
Then, he suddenly wondered. Why did he want to become a “god” in the first place?
It’s been too long, time has passed too long, so long that he suddenly couldn’t remember, the forcibly extended lifespan made his memory chaotic.
He knew in the dark that it was not because of power, not because of desire, not to enjoy the high above where all people worship, perhaps pursuing power is a reason, but more——
“Ah, so that’s it…”
Finally, the false god suddenly dilated his pupils.
“What I originally wanted, was just that glimmer of light…”
He was also one of the people who worshiped the gods, and there were too many people like him, who could not get the attention of the gods.
So why not get a little light, become a god! In this way, can it be a little closer to these dazzling existences!
The twisted longing and desire to the extreme bred the wrong path, which was not worth sympathy at all.
The false god got the answer from the young man’s gaze at him at this moment.
At this time, Lu Mi had already turned around to soothe the restless Kier, his eyes clearly reflected the figure of the red dragon, but never reflected him.
The huge black dragon suddenly began to dissipate little by little, with the unwillingness and emptiness of death.
The two original dragons looked at the young man surrounded by souls, and suddenly realized, “So that’s it… he is, the god from the universe and the stars…”
Coming from a place wider than the earth and the sea, and higher than the sky!
“Being able to see him, probably is our only fortune worth mentioning as residual consciousness.”
The Sea Dragon said so with emotion.
The Earth Dragon seemed to take it for granted, then strangely “eh” a sound, looked at the place where the black dragon was dissipating like dust, “Why hasn’t the figure of the Sky Dragon appeared yet?”
According to reason, after the false god died, the remnant soul of the Sky Dragon should appear like a phantom like they are now.
Just as Lu Mi was soothing Kier, he suddenly noticed something flying fast towards him.
Because he didn’t feel any murderous intent or threat, so Lu Mi naturally caught it.
That was——
An egg???
“Over here!” The roar of the Earth Dragon echoed simultaneously.
Lu Mi: “What is this?”
“There’s no mistake.” The Earth Dragon nodded, “There is indeed the aura of the Sky Dragon’s remnant on it, but why did it reincarnate directly?”
“Reincarnate?”
“You can also understand it as being born as a new life.”
“Is this a normal phenomenon?”
“Hmm,” The Earth Dragon hesitated for a moment, “Generally speaking, it’s not, but if this strand of remnant chose to do so… wait, what are you trying to do??”
Lu Mi lifted his long spear, “To transcend it, let it return to the sky.”
“…? Stop!”
The Earth Dragon’s eyes twitched, and the Sea Dragon tried to speak calmly. “Since it wants to stay by your side, then you, can you take it in for the time being?”
The two original dragons never thought that they would have to worry about their former companion before ascending to heaven.
Ah, it’s no wonder that it’s the most willful one among them–“Whoever saves me is my dad”, this is indeed something that its remnant would do, after all, it’s just a remnant, you can’t expect it to have the intelligence of a complete body.
“In fact, most of the Sky Dragon has already been scattered, this is just a small part of it left in the world. Although it’s just a small part, if nothing unexpected happens, it should give birth to a dragon, um…”
Apparently, the two original dragons were doing this kind of mediation for the first time, and they were a bit embarrassed for a while, and by the way, they scolded the Sky Dragon in their hearts.
“In short, just like the little guy by your side, it will be a good combat power. Besides, you already have the power of the earth and the sea, isn’t the sky just coming to your door.”
“Roar——!!” Before the two original dragons finished speaking, Kier roared angrily first.
It acted like a child who couldn’t accept a second child.
“Cough…” At this point, the two original dragons also didn’t feel like it, and rubbed their noses in frustration.
“Forget it, let’s deal with the sky first.” Lu Mi looked at the cloud layer covered with dark clouds.
Although the black dragon had dissipated, the power accumulated in the sky was not something that could be purified all at once.
He lifted his silver spear, the tip of the spear gathered strength, and then he slashed through the air fiercely——
The gloomy sky was immediately torn like a curtain.
“Crack——” With a sound like a mirror shattering, the cage of the past collapsed in an instant.
All the creatures on the earth unconsciously looked up.
——Dawn broke.
At this moment, the golden sun was rising from the horizon, the brilliant light was like a pouring river, covering the earth.
That warm temperature was a feeling they had never experienced before, instantly dispelling the long-standing cold of the Eastern Area, causing the mutants who unconsciously touched the sunlight with their fingertips to suddenly shed tears.
“This is, light…” They looked at the figure hanging in the sky.
The god who saved the Eastern Area stood there, the golden sun was his background, reflecting him as if he came from the light.
“It’s really…” The Earth Dragon also quietly felt it at this moment.
Even though it was a phantom without any tactile sensation, it still squinted its eyes subconsciously at the figure against the light, as if it had seen something too dazzling.
The Sea Dragon also sighed softly, “Today is a good weather, the sea at this moment, must be shimmering.”
As they spoke, the figures of the two giant dragons began to fade little by little.
“Are you leaving?” Lu Mi looked at them calmly, as if it was a normal farewell.
“Yes.” The Earth Dragon grinned, “Thanks to you, it was a short but very pleasant journey.”
The blue giant dragon also whispered, “The sea will always protect you, the golden god.”
It was the golden god, not the newborn god. Because they knew that he was already a true god, capable of withstanding storms and guarding a world.
Lu Mi watched the figures of the two giant dragons disappear little by little.
Similarly, the people on the ground saw the two giant figures, like guardians, protecting the golden god.
They bowed their heads slightly to the golden light, like a blessing kiss before departure.
At the last moment, the mutants’ hooves suddenly kicked up the ground.
That was the oldest method of sacrifice, even when there were no drums, they believed that they could convey the sound to the gods in this way.
“Thud! Thud! Thud…!”
The drumming sound was booming, as urgent as rain, the earth and the mountains were all shaken, like the finale of a clanging history, and like the prologue of a new scene.
This was a farewell, and also a welcome.
Goodbye, the guardian god of the past.
Thank you for coming, the god of this era.
