Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 254: [System Error]

Inside the Skye Dome Palace,

"Tianao! Brother Tianao! What happened to you? How… How Did this happen?!"

"Tianao, wake up! What happened? Sob... why are you bleeding so much?!"

"Your Majesty!! Are you alright?!"

...

...

Amidst the cries of Olivia, Lilian, and trusted Friend Toma, Xue Tianao, who had briefly lost consciousness due to the pain, finally snapped back to reality. He slowly opened his eyes, and in that instant,

what caught his gaze were two massive bulges, faintly visible beneath Olivia’s nightgown...

Initially, Xue Tianao had teased the two girls, promising to spend the night with them. So, Olivia and Lilian, the two innocent girls, had eagerly donned seductive lingerie, anticipating Xue Tianao’s return for an intimate encounter. However, upon hearing about Xue Tianao’s severe injuries, the expressions on their faces changed abruptly. They didn’t even have time to change into proper attire and hastily threw on their robes before rushing to the Skye Dome Palace.

As the two girls leaned over Xue Tianao, shaking him and calling his name, their robes loosened slightly.

Lilian, being smaller in size, didn’t cause much trouble.

But Olivia’s two colossal breasts, wrapped in sexy lace, burst out of her robe without restraint, swaying in front of Xue Tianao’s eyes, continuously arousing his gaze...

If it were in the past,

Xue Tianao would naturally feel delighted by this sight, teasing the girls and unabashedly indulging in those two pink cherries...

But now,

the situation was completely different.

Upon realizing that something might not be right with his lower body, Xue Tianao’s expression immediately changed! After his "Little Brother" had been severely injured in his clash with inferno, he had accidentally become too intimate with Lilian...

The result...

Recalling the excruciating pain he felt at that time, Xue Tianao couldn’t help but shudder.

"Now is not the time!... Huh???"

However, after a moment, the anticipated intense pain didn’t come as Xue Tianao had expected. Instead, there were only intermittent, lingering pains he had already been experiencing...

When faced with Olivia’s pair of mouth-watering buns,

he actually had no reaction?

"!?"

"?!?!"

"What... what is happening?"

At that moment, Xue Tianao’s expression turned into one of fear and disbelief as he looked at the bloody mess between his legs.

In an instant, an unparalleled shock and furious anger surged within Xue Tianao’s heart. Although he hadn’t taken off his pants to examine the situation properly, he had a rough estimate of the condition of his "Little Brother" at the moment. The fact that he, the ruler of a country, had somehow become... castrated? Xue Tianao felt madness welling up inside him!

"That... damn Bloody Butterfly! How dare she... to do this?!!!"

How dare she treat me like this!

You...

I will definitely...

Make you pay...

Remembering the disdainful look of the black-haired girl before she left, Xue Tianao gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain below his waist. His once handsome azure eyes turned ferocious and filled with bloodshot veins and resentment, sending shivers down the spines of those around him...

Unable to contain his anger, Toma, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but ask:

"Your Majesty, who could have done this to you?"

Hearing this, Xue Tianao shot Toma a disdainful glance, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

"Who do you think?"

"That... that Miss of the Black Rose family? She dared to do such a thing?"

Toma’s voice was filled with shock. After all, based on appearance alone, the black-haired girl seemed gentle and refined, not someone who would commit such an act of cruelty. However, it seemed like she was the only one present who could have done this...

Although curious as to why their Emperor, who had countless concubines, ended up in this situation, Toma no longer had the energy to dwell on that question.

The crucial point was that someone from the Sadik Empire had harmed their Emperor! They couldn’t let this go unpunished!

With that in mind, Toma drew his sword from his waist and looked at the royal knights around him.

"She dared to harm our Emperor! We must capture her and make her pay!"

Upon hearing these words, the royal knights around drew their swords in unison, loudly echoing Toma’s sentiment.

The royal knights were all meticulously trained and incredibly loyal to Xue Tianao. How could they not be furious when they saw their master being harmed in such a manner?

For a moment, a thick aura of malevolence filled the Skye Dome Palace.

Observing the scene, Xue Tianao, who was gradually regaining his composure, frowned involuntarily.

It was a good thing that his subordinates were so fervent about avenging him, but considering Bloody Butterfly’s strength, it was undoubtedly a suicide mission for them.

And besides...

Now was not the opportune time...

After taking a deep breath, Xue Tianao quickly raised his hand, stopping the impulsive thoughts of the knights, who were being watched by the bewildered harem and subordinates.

"No, don’t go..."

!?

Huh?!

"Your Majesty? Are you serious? Are you just going to let her destroy your eggs? Are you just going to let it slide?"

Upon hearing this, Toma wore a stunned expression and asked incredulously,

"Forget about my damn eggs!"

Xue Tianao couldn’t help but angrily curse,

"And I didn’t say I’m just letting it slide. It’s just not the right time yet, so wait for my order..."

"Wait? Right time? Tianao, what does that mean?" Olivia asked, puzzled.

...

However, in the face of Olivia’s question and the perplexed gazes of countless people, Xue Tianao didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he looked thoughtfully toward the location where the Black Rose family’s VIPs were currently present.

Although losing his last egg filled Xue Tianao with immense anger, he had to endure for now...

This was a crucial moment for the coronation ceremony!

After successfully ascending the throne tomorrow and completing the ’epic mission’ to obtain the reward from the system, he could act without delay. It would be more secure that way.

Furthermore,

To be honest,

Even though Xue Tianao had always been one to seek revenge for any slight, he was hesitating about taking action against Bloody Butterfly at this moment.

After all, that woman was a rare existence that truly "captivated" him, an "Immeasurable" presence among a million others. If he were to eliminate her, it would be such a waste...

Xue Tianao still held a glimmer of hope, wanting to strive for a chance...

If it really came to that, he would not hesitate to annihilate her...

If that time truly arrived, he would make that foolish woman pay the price!

With that in mind, Xue Tianao clenched his fists again, his nails embedding deeply into his palms. However, at the same time, a hint of confusion quietly emerged in Xue Tianao’s mind.

"Weird?... Why didn’t the Spirit Medicine work this time?"

According to reason,

After drinking the Spirit elixir, she should have been under his control, right? How did she suddenly attack him?

That elixir recipe was a treasure he exchanged from the store with a large number of points! In the past, the things he exchanged from the store, especially the elixirs, were always very reliable. Whether it was the "Breaking Saint Potion" he exchanged when he broke through the Saint Rank or the "Ice Potion" he consumed when he fought against the Inferno, they all took effect immediately and provided him with tremendous help.

Moreover,

The store is a blessing bestowed upon oneself by the goddess, and the Potion obtained from it are naturally divine elixirs.

’How could that black-haired girl resist the effects of the divine Elixir?’

’What... exactly is going on?’

’Or rather,’

’Did I overlook something?’

Xue Tianao pondered incessantly, then unconsciously revealed a solemn gaze. After suppressing the thoughts of Toma, Olivia, and others from causing trouble for the Black Rose family, Xue Tianao slowly closed his eyes under the Confused gaze of everyone. At this moment, his consciousness once again entered his "Treasure Vault," also known as the system’s store.

Whenever Xue Tianao conquered a high-value character (A value or above) or achieved specific accomplishments, he could exchange desired resources within the system’s store. These resources included but were not limited to, spirit Potion, weapons, martial arts manuals, spell scrolls, various rare items, and scrolls for crafting destructively powerful weapons.

This was one of the cheat-like abilities granted to Xue Tianao by the goddess, and it was his greatest reliance for thriving in this world.

Over the years, Xue Tianao had complete trust in the system’s store.

However, today, after the "Lock of the Soul" failed, he felt a hint of doubt in his heart.

When Xue Tianao’s consciousness arrived in the area shimmering with golden light, he immediately searched for the item called the " Soul Lock." He wanted to understand why the usually infallible spirit medicine failed this time. Was it the deceit of a dishonest merchant regarding the ingredients? Or did he himself overlook some crucial synthesis element that led to the ultimate failure of the spirit medicine?

With this goal in mind, Xue Tianao carefully read the system’s provided explanation about the " Soul Lock "...

Soon after, Xue Tianao’s eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

Because, at this moment,

He discovered the following statement,

- The effectiveness of this elixir may be delayed based on the strength of the person consuming it. Additionally, this elixir has no effect on beings beyond the eighth rank. -

"This... this mean….?"

As this sentence entered Xue Tianao’s mind, the chosen one’s face immediately displayed an incredulous expression, even a hint of suspicion. A strange fell of unease began to emerge within his heart.

I,

I,

’I Didn’t see this explanation before?!!’
