I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 63

Taking over the Eastern Area was somewhat easier than the other areas.

It was probably because they were originally in a state of being raised by the false god. The different species knew exactly what they were supposed to do. Almost without Lu Mi’s instructions, they spontaneously spread the news.

“Kier, you can’t eat that egg.” Lu Mi picked up the red dragon by the back of its neck, which had shrunk again.

The red dragon kicked its short legs, whimpered in a wronged and unwilling manner.

…Even though it had grown into such a domineering figure, it was always a child in the eyes of the silver-eyed youth.

Following behind Lu Mi, Gray Crow slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, and suddenly paused when the youth looked back.

“…Are you going back?”

The silver-eyed youth nodded, “My previous state was probably sensed by them,” he said, sighing with some distress, “I have to go back and tell them.”

Even so, he could already imagine the contractors gathered on the Ark.

He hoped they could stay calm……

“In that case, please allow us to accompany you.” Behind Gray Crow were the other sky and sea races who had come to gather, “Please let us guide you.”

At the foot of the mountain, there were countless different species born from the earth, looking up at this place with hope.

The Eastern Area was a place born out of faith. They were still completely unable to leave the protection of the gods and survive on their own–perhaps they could in the distant future, but not now.

Therefore, for the golden god who saved them, everyone was extremely grateful, and extremely afraid of losing him again.

“Okay.” Lu Mi did not refuse, and took the first step into the spatial passage.

……

“King! Are you alright!?”

After returning to the Ark, as expected, he saw a group of demons and different species who had lost their calm.

Even Alonfus, who was always the most self-disciplined in public, couldn’t help but stick his gaze on him, sweeping back and forth.

Seo descended from the sky with his spear, “What the hell happened.”

He couldn’t calm himself down, the black spear in his hand was gripped so hard that it made his scalp numb, the most annoying thing was that a surge of violent killing intent didn’t know who to vent on, it could only burn repeatedly in his heart, becoming more and more intense like being gnawed by a snake’s fangs.

“The contract suddenly had a violent fluctuation, you…”

He had to take a deep breath here to calm down the power around his body.

Then, thinking back to the state of the youth they had sensed through the contract before–severely injured! Near death! What a joke!?

“Who in this world could hurt you,” Seo asked slowly, almost word by word, “Who was it?”

Everyone couldn’t help but take a step back. When the demon of rage really got angry, even they had to keep their distance.

In fact, if one looked down from the Ark at this time, they would see a huge crater like a meteorite on the barren land.

Thank god, this guy still had a bit of sanity when he went crazy, knowing to avoid the Ark at the last moment.

Then, everyone shifted their gaze to the silver-eyed youth, obviously they also wanted an answer.

Lu Mi: “…”

The eyes of the demons lit up one by one, that was the symbol of their seriousness.

So, how was he going to tell them that he had voluntarily jumped into the volcano to become stronger?

…It always felt like it would be worse to say it out loud?

Jiabo appeared beside him, his clear eyes quietly looking at him, as if he had already seen through everything, he whispered, “Did it hurt at that time?”

Lu Mi opened his mouth, and finally sighed softly.

“Alright,” he quickly raised his eyes, and spoke in a relaxed tone, “Actually, the situation is not that complicated——”

After spending some time explaining the situation in the Eastern Area to everyone, the reactions were mixed.

The most excited was Alonfus.

“I knew it, I knew it!” The demon’s pupils dilated, and because of the excitement, they contracted wildly, “Following you was the most correct decision I have ever made! This day, this day has finally come!”

Seo’s expression completely cooled down, “I almost forgot what you looked like at first.”

It was because of the youth’s growing strength that he had forgotten that when he first saw him, that person had also been bathed in blood and crazy.

Damn it! He shouldn’t have trusted him!! Jumping into a volcano that could burn a god, what was he thinking!?

But the decision was made by that person himself, really——

The more the demon of rage thought about it, the angrier he became, as if a breath was stuck in his chest and couldn’t go up or down, and he couldn’t kill the “culprit” who made him so irritable!

“Hey, Seo, where are you going?” Aquimolo looked at the demon who was about to leave with some worry, and couldn’t help but speak up.

But the other party didn’t pay any attention to him, so Aquimolo had to turn his gaze to Lu Mi, “Master…”

“It’s okay.” Lu Mi didn’t seem flustered.

Seeing the youth’s confident look, Aquimolo was immediately relieved. He knew that the other party understood each demon, and they had their own ways of dealing with and interacting with them that they didn’t know, as long as Lu Mi himself was clear.

The rest of the people naturally didn’t have the heart to blame their king, even if he had repeatedly made them lose control.

“No matter what, if this situation happens again next time, please be sure to call us.”

“There won’t be a next time, right? The Eastern Area – plus the previous Northern Area, Western Area, Southern Area… it’s all very clear, isn’t it?”

“You mean…?”

Seeing this, Alonfus chuckled, he went to Lu Mi first, and with his tacit approval, he bowed to him first.

Then, Alonfus turned to everyone, like the opening of a stage play, he offered an exaggerated bow, and then led everyone’s gaze to the silver-eyed youth.

“Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you——”

The corners of the demon’s mouth grew wider and wider, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

He bowed deeply, lowered his head, word by word.

“——The Lord of the Abyss.”

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and their eyes finally settled on that figure.

In that instant, everyone’s chaotic emotions suddenly subsided, and the originally vague concept suddenly became clear.

A hazy figure suddenly solidified in their hearts.

At this moment, in a small corner of this huge Ark——

The thousand winds in the sky suddenly howled, brushing the silver-eyed youth’s forehead hair and clothes.

They saw a leaf being swept up by the wind, flying out of the Ark from the side of the youth, all the way to the sky, drifting towards the boundless territory of the Abyss…

Ah…

A sudden surge of indescribable tremors rose in their hearts, and one by one, they bowed their heads in submission.

Yes.

“The Lord truly worthy of the name Abyss,”

Everything became clear.

“Was born——”

After that, even though Lu Mi repeatedly said it was unnecessary, the demons insisted on holding a coronation ceremony for him.

“This is also the result of discussions among the four major areas.” Alonfus said with a smile on the side.

Lu Mi glanced at him when he had a moment, “It’s only been a few days.”

He thought about the arrangements he had made for the four major areas in the past few days. Although there were arrangements such as sending the demon species of the Northern Area to help in the Western Area, the tacit understanding of this group seemed to have risen a bit too quickly.

The silver-eyed youth seemed thoughtful, “Your adjustment period is shorter than I expected.”

One should know that the demons of the Northern Area had to adapt to each other for a long time before they could meet without conflict.

Alonfus blinked lightly——

He better not tell the youth: Now the four major areas have a new “King Chef Association”, and many people from all major areas have joined as members, and they quickly reached a consensus on “praise His Majesty”, so the relationship is surprisingly good.

For this, the president of the association, Alonfus, kept a low profile. He himself had contributed many of his own poems praising the youth–the demon was confident that the result of the first best king chef selection would definitely be him!

“This——” At this time, Jiabo came slowly with a crown.

Lu Mi looked at the crown that was obviously not light, and then looked at the overly complicated gorgeous clothes on his body, and couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.

“Whose idea was all this?”

No matter how you say it, it’s too exaggerated!

Jiabo seemed to smile slightly, “It’s a style that everyone agreed on, with gold threads offered by the fairy species, and woven by the Zerg race. In the murals of the ruins found in the Eastern Area, it seems that as a monarch, one would have such a set of clothes.”

“This is just barely worthy of your grandeur. In fact, the preparation time was too short, after all, this news was somewhat sudden.” Alonfus said with some regret, but he quickly changed the subject, “But it’s okay, after all, there are four ceremonies, this is just one for the Northern Area, consider it as a rehearsal for the next three.”

“…Four??” Lu Mi slowly typed out a question mark, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart at the same time.

“Hmm? Didn’t you see the documents I put on your desk?” Alonfus put one hand on his chest and said sincerely, “Because you are now the lord of the four areas, but time is pressing, many different species from other areas didn’t have time to rush to the Northern Area, they were heartbroken that they couldn’t witness your glory, so I suggested simply making the coronation–or rather, the tour, one for each of the four areas, after all, you still have to go to other areas, right?”

Lu Mi thought about the pile of documents on his desk that he hadn’t had time to deal with, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

…Help!

“Ah, to be able to witness such an important moment in your life——” At this time, Alonfus was already looking at the neatly dressed youth with intoxication, and a climax-like blush appeared on his face, “It is, indeed, an honor!”

Lu Mi, wearing the crown, bowed his head slightly——

It must be said that the clothes were indeed beautiful enough.

Exquisite ornaments adorned various places, and gold threads outlined mysterious and profound star patterns, as if they were contract magic circles.

The single-sided earring was a careful creation of the fairy species, representing the rising golden wheel, swaying slightly with his movements.

He tried to raise his hand again, only to find that although the clothes looked complicated, they didn’t hinder his movements at all. The originally wide sleeves were fixed by a gold ring on his wrist, adding some exotic mysterious style.

At the same time, outside the great hall, the waiting demons stood at the front of the line.

Aquimolo looked down at Seo who had arrived, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Master is really amazing…” Even the demon of rage could be easily appeased, but Aquimolo looked at him strangely, “How did you get hurt?”

“…Hmph.” Seo pursed his slightly bloody lips and didn’t speak.

He had sparred with Lu Mi, and naturally, he lost. However, thinking of the silver-eyed youth’s long-lost craziness, even if his flesh exploded under the tip of the other’s spear, indeed…

The demon of rage could never resist that posture.

That was something only he, who could spar with him, could see. It was an excited and exalted existence, hotter than anger.

It was as if molten lava was poured into his throat, and the blood that welled up also made him unable to stop!

Jiabo walked to the front of the hall, one hand holding the door, and finally looked back at Lu Mi with an inquiring look.

The silver-eyed youth nodded gently.

So, the white-haired demon put some strength into his hand.

“Bang——”

It was the sound of the door being suddenly pushed open.

It was the sound of the wild wind rushing in from outside the door, it was the sound of the flickering candlelight being blown out in the sunlight.

The light pouring down from the sky, like a surging river, splashed all over the carpet that was spread out.

And at the end of the road, the silver-eyed youth slowly stepped forward, stepping on the carpet that countless people had laid out for him, and walked out step by step.

The swaying earring reflected a bright light, but it was far less dazzling than the silver-eyed youth’s eyes reflecting the light, which was breathtaking.

Jiabo retreated to the side of the door, waited for the youth to walk in front of him, and then followed him with Alonfus, slowly catching up.

And outside the great hall, the waiting demons, fairy species, Zerg race, sky race, sea race… and various other different species in different forms, their originally noisy voices suddenly fell silent.

Lu Mi slowly walked out, each step seemed to have walked through a piece of the past.

——The Northern Area covered with red rocks, the desolate Western Area, the roaring River of Death in the Southern Area, the Eastern Area where the gods were born…

Gradually, he saw clearly those who were waiting for him.

At the same time, everyone knelt down on one knee, bowed their heads in submission——

“King!”

Naturally, the voices of the crowd were excited, expectant, joyful… not one and the same, they converged into one, echoing through the world.

Lu Mi slightly raised his eyes, looking towards the distance——

That was the boundless land where the Ark had once landed, many different species who couldn’t make it here, like a dense army, were also waiting on the land, looking up.

Further away, it was the horizon swept by the wind and clouds, the dazzling golden wheel was slowly rising.

“The world is already in your hands!” Alonfus couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.

“No,” Lu Mi sighed quietly with a lot of emotion, “The world is very vast.”

He had only tasted a corner of those magnificent waves, and just happened to have the fortune to reach here.

Who knew, Alonfus was shocked when he heard this, as if he was struck by a sudden thunder, his blood was burning and surging wildly in his body.

“I understand!”

I get it!

The demon bowed his head in excitement and shame.

That’s right, his master’s goal is the boundless continent, even beyond the four major areas, the more vast and mysterious sea of stars!!

Lu Mi: “?”

For some reason, he felt a long-lost chill.

However, at this time, the demon had already calmed down, raised his arms high, and declared, “This is the time of coronation, everyone,”

“Welcome our king——”

So Lu Mi temporarily put aside that premonition, calmly continued to walk forward, walking towards those who were waiting for him.

There, it was brilliantly lit.

At the same time, Donald and others from the K8 branch received an invitation.

“Eh eh eh——Unified the Abyss!???”

Donald spat out a mouthful of water, “Lu Mi!?”

“Are you surprised, I don’t think so.” Sikes spoke with a blank expression.

“That’s strange!” Donald looked at his unfocused pupils, and then looked at the time on the invitation, “It’s today, it’s too late!!”

“Always in such a hurry!” Sikes looked at the figure of the youth rushing out, his gaze looking into the distance, “What are you doing now…”

The golden god standing high seemed to feel something and slightly turned his eyes.

And then, he smiled gently.
