Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 819 - 820: The Crying Little Girl

I apologize for the lack of new chapters recently. I was busy putting the final touches on Fallen Chronicles, which took all my time. We’ll now return to posting 2 chapters daily. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

And the book’s name may change to Abyssal Chronicles... I haven’t decided yet but will see.

Another chapter after 1h.

When facing Bloody Butterfly earlier, Emperor Enzo had identified her without hesitation as humanity’s greatest enemy in this world.

But now, Enzo realized he was wrong.

Compared to the aura behind him, Bloody Butterfly’s presence felt so gentle and peaceful.

The spiritual force emanating from behind contained boundless bone-chilling coldness like an abyss and endless evil thoughts sufficient to crush an ordinary person’s sanity. It felt as if his very soul would shatter under the impact of this overwhelming tidal wave.

Vaguely, in front of Emperor Enzo’s eyes, there seemed to appear a boundless mountain of corpses and sea of blood, with countless skeletons enveloping him.

Demonic whispers that could destroy one’s mind lingered incessantly by his ears.

Compared to Bloody Butterfly, the existence that suddenly appeared behind him was the true evil of this world.

Just the aura it emitted made Enzo shudder, even without feeling cold.

If not for his strong willpower, Enzo feared he would have directly collapsed mentally.

Not good...

Realizing the bizarre aura behind him, Enzo decisively let go of Tania’s neck that he was strangling and abruptly retreated backwards! The golden Heavenly Imperial Shield instantly shielded Enzo, transforming into a glorious sacred shield of golden light!

Could it be?

That monster had already...

An ominous thought suddenly surged in Enzo’s mind.

The next instant,

Enzo’s ominous premonition was verified.

Almost the moment the Heavenly Imperial Shield’s energy barrier expanded, countless black demonic claws suddenly spilled out from the abyss, assaulting Enzo in a overwhelming torrent! In the blink of an eye, under Enzo’s horrified gaze, that Heavenly Imperial Shield that had accompanied him for many years and helped him overcome one crisis after another, just like that, shattered into pieces under the tearing of the demonic claws.

In just an instant, the golden radiance that had illuminated the Netherworld Palace was devoured by the boundless darkness.

Not only that,

After shattering the Heavenly Imperial Shield, these ghost hands formed from black mist were not satisfied. Like sharks catching the scent of blood, they pounced toward Enzo with further ravenous hunger! Although Enzo mobilized all the battle energy in his body, his power was so insignificant compared to these black demonic claws.

Emperor Enzo’s defense was easily broken through.

And in an instant, the body of this thousand-year guardian of the empire was also brutally torn into dozens of pieces by the dozens of ghost claws...

——"Sorry Father...I still...failed in my duty..."——

With unwillingness and regret in his heart, Emperor Enzo’s consciousness eternally fell into darkness.

And his body that was torn into pieces, all of his battle energy and soul power, were all drawn back into that bottomless black abyss along with the contraction of the ghost hands. In the entire Netherworld Palace, not a trace of Emperor Enzo’s aura could be sensed anymore. Even at the place of his death in battle, not a single drop of blood was left behind.

It was evident that the existence beneath the abyss cherished its food very much.

...

After Enzo’s suppression was gone, Tania slowly struggled out from the stone wall.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, Tania didn’t care about the strong discomfort in her body. Facing the deathly gale howling from the abyss, she walked forward step by step. In her eyes, there was no fear, no unease, only unspeakable ecstasy and excitement. The pain in her body was cast to the back of her mind.

At this moment, she didn’t know how long she had waited, how much effort she had put in for this.

But at this moment when the goal was achieved,

She felt that everything before was worth it.

The next instant,

The raging deathly wind and the shadow power filling the Netherworld Palace like ghostly wails abruptly dissipated, and everything returned to tranquility once more.

And in this tranquil atmosphere, under Tania’s excited gaze, a pale white light gently rippled from the bottom of the abyss. Embraced by this light, a white graceful figure slowly ascended from below. There was no grand eruption of aura, no earth-shattering explosions, and no magnificent magic formations appearing...

This existence that had been suppressed at the bottom of the abyss for thousands of years, just like that, appeared before Tania in an extremely simple manner.

Of course,

Tania would not feel disappointed because of this. After seeing that white graceful figure, her mind was filled with only near-fanatical worship and joy.

Enduring the discomfort in her body, Tania slowly bowed and knelt on one knee before that white graceful figure, placing one hand on her chest and devoutly lowering her head:

"Welcome back."

"My Goddess"

...

At the same time, in a certain black-haired girl’s consciousness space, after a moment of trance,

Yumo, standing in a pitch-black space, finally slowly opened her eyes and drowsily swept her gaze around.

"Where is this... Ah, looks like I couldn’t hold on after all."

Yumo was already familiar with the surroundings.

After all, every time after entering building mode, she would come to this space.

However,

The situation this time was slightly different. It was because her soul power was nearly exhausted that she was forced to sever the connection with her body and came here.

"I wonder how things are outside now?"

Although she was inexplicably awakened by a force at the last critical moment and regained control of her body, in that kind of urgent situation, the only thing she could do was use her remaining power to protect Mengxi in the explosion. As for the energy that had already spread out unstoppably, Yumo was also helpless.

The terrible explosion now might involve her children from black rose, which kept worrying Yumo.

However,

Recalling Xiao and Limo who appeared before her prior to fainting, if they were fine, perhaps the other people from Black Rose would also be okay...

Yumo could only pray so in her heart.

Although I am very concerned about the external situation, it seems that I won’t be able to wake up anytime soon for now...

Also, I feel really sleepy...

Yumo raised her hand to her forehead and shook her head weakly.

Apparently, for the current Yumo, letting her consciousness also sleep was the only way to recover her soul power as quickly as possible. Only when her soul power recovered could she wake up again and understand the external situation. Blindly worrying in the consciousness space would be of no use.

Realizing this point, She slowly closed her eyes.

However,

When everything quieted down, Yumo frowned.

??

Huh?

What was this sound?

After she stopped moving, in the consciousness space that should have been completely silent, a faint unusual sound could be vaguely heard, which made Yumo feel a bit puzzled, and her strong sleepiness was suppressed.

Opening her eyes, Yumo looked ahead in confusion.

"This sound... a girl’s crying? Is someone crying?"

Following the sound, Yumo’s consciousness body slowly walked step by step toward the dark and deep front.

Time passed like this, minute by minute.

As she went deeper, the crying became more and more clearly audible.

Finally,

After who knows how long, Yumo stopped. She had arrived at a place she had never been to before, and what was floating in front of her was a black cube constructed from dark energy, emitting thick fog...

What is this?

The girl muttered to herself in confusion.

Inside my consciousness space? When did such a thing appear?

However,

That crying sound seemed to be coming from here?

Thinking of this, Yumo frowned, her scarlet eyes filled with a tangled look.

However, after a moment of hesitation, Yumo finally made a decision and cautiously stepped into the black cube.

And next, what appeared before her was an empty cage enclosed by black bars. Before Yumo could be surprised by the space inside the cube, her attention was focused on the petite black figure in the corner of the cage...

Was she the one crying?

Why was there a little girl crying in my consciousness space?

Yumo was a bit dumbfounded.

But dumbfounded as she was, she who took care of children all day long instinctively could not ignore such an existence.

Therefore, Yumo plucked up her courage and slowly walked forward.

...

——"Little girl, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?"——
