Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 850 - 851: Mobilization

Mengxi gazed at the sky, watching Kalina and Yuan’er gradually disappear into the horizon.

Afterwards, the silver-haired girl stood there without saying a word, closing her eyes in deep thought.

Although she still maintained that calm and indifferent expression, upon careful observation, it was not difficult to find that a hint of deep worry and displeasure had gradually surfaced on Mengxi’s beautiful face.

The worry was self-explanatory. For someone as simple-minded as Yumo to run away from home alone, it was impossible not to worry. Not to mention, her condition was still extremely unstable. What if she lost control while wandering alone?

As for the displeasure...

It was because after Yumo left home, she did not come to find Mengxi. Even though I have the ability to help stabilize her power, Yumo did not come to her? Did she not trust me that much?

Although Mengxi knew that Yumo might have done this to protect her safety, the silver-haired girl still couldn’t help but feel a bit displeased in a very willful manner.

However, displeasure aside, the most important task at this stage was to find Yumo as soon as possible.

If Yumo really disappeared like this, I would be very lonely...

Just as Mengxi was thinking this way, Bai Yanluo, who had been knocked on the head by Kalina and had fallen into a brief state of unconsciousness, suddenly twitched all over and instantly woke up from her unconscious state.

In the next instant, Bai propped herself up with her hands, abruptly pulled her head out of the soil, and immediately erupted with powerful holy aura. She assumed a defensive posture against the enemy and looked around:

"Who?!! Who was the bastard that hit my head just now?? Where, where did that Demon King go?!"

Although Bai, holding a white holy light sword, struck a very dashing pose, due to her dirt-stained, disheveled face, this action seemed a bit comical.

Watching Bai like this, Mengxi raised her hand to her forehead with a complex mood.

After a moment, Mengxi couldn’t help but speak:

"Sister Bai, calm down. Those two Demon King meant no harm to me. And they have already left."

"Ah? They left already?!"

Realizing that she was fighting with air, Bai Yanluo awkwardly scratched her head and dispelled the holy light sword in her hand.

At the same time, while rubbing her swollen head, Bai Yanluo looked around in puzzlement:

"They actually left. Did they not do anything?"

"No."

"That, that’s good then."

"By the way, Sister Bai."

"Hmm? What’s the matter?"

"Didn’t the red-robed archbishops from all over the continent send a joint letter to me before? What was the content?"

"Ah? Oh, yes!"

Hearing this, Bai Yanluo’s eyes instantly narrowed, and she looked at the silver-haired girl with some excitement. For a moment, this Heavenly Apostle seemed to have completely forgotten about the pain in her head.

"As for the content, it’s roughly hoping that you, Mengxi, will take on the role of the Sintess and even concurrently serve as the Pope!"

"So that’s how it is? But didn’t many of them oppose me before? They actually agreed this time."

"They have to agree even if they don’t. After all, now that Kael is dead, the four Holy Envoys have been wiped out, and the archbishops are all gone. The entire Asumos Church is leaderless. Looking around, only you, as the Girl of Destiny and recognized by the Holy Beast, are qualified to manage the church. Besides, because of the damn propaganda of the Black Rose family, in the eyes of the world, the disaster in Anvika has become the responsibility of our church. The church’s reputation has plummeted, and only with you taking the stage can we save the declining situation."

"Me?"

"Yeah, no matter what, you were the one who stopped the crisis in the end. If you take the stage, the believers and other people should all recognize you. It’s just..."

As she spoke, a hint of hesitation flashed in Bai Yanluo’s eyes.

"It’s just that those bishops took the opportunity to make quite a few demands, and some of the conditions are rather..."

"It doesn’t matter."

"Ah? It doesn’t matter?"

"Mm, those bishops from various factions simply hope that I promise not to touch their rights, not to encroach on their vested interests, and even let them be promoted to archbishops."

"Uh, that’s about right."

"Just agree to it."

Mengxi said indifferently.

Although she was nominally the candidate for the Saintess, as a candidate, Mengxi did not have the intention to fully comply with the moral standards. After these bishops supported her to become the Saintess or the Pope, how she wanted to lead the church, these guys had no say in it. After all, she now possessed the strength of the eighth level, and those bishops at the sixth level at most could be easily manipulated by her.

In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trickery seemed so ridiculous and laughable.

"Okay."

Seeing Mengxi so confident, Bai Yanluo said no more and respectfully lowered her head.

For a moment, she put away her casual demeanor and performed a solemn knight’s salute to Mengxi.

"Then I will convey your will to the bishops in various places, great Saintess."

"By the way, Sister Bai."

"Any other instructions, Your Holiness?"

"Since they plan to recognize me as the new Saintess and the new Pope, they have to listen to my orders, right?"

"That goes without saying."

"Then please inform them of my first command, Sister Bai."

"Please tell me."

"All church troops and believers across the continent are to cooperate with the Black Rose family and search for Yumo with all their might! Dig three feet into the ground if necessary to find that fol... to find the Demon Temple!"

"Yumo? Do you mean Yu Black Rose?"

"Yes."

"As you wish, I will inform them now!"

...

After receiving Mengxi’s order, Bai Yanluo quickly turned into a white light and disappeared from Mengxi’s sight. In the vast garden, only Mengxi was left alone for a while. The silver-haired girl slowly sat down on a nearby swing.

Gazing at the sky, Mengxi muttered somewhat absentmindedly.

"Yumo, where on earth did you run off to?"

Playing disappearing act without a word?

Don’t you know how worried others will be about you?

Really a baka...

And always treating others as children. Who would have thought that you would run away from home and do something that only children would do?

What a naughty wifey.

Must properly discipline her after finding her...

Pouting her lips, Mengxi secretly made a decision in her heart.

///

At the same time, in the eastern part of the Holy Lomari Empire, at the Bessel Airport.

Karl, a young beastman who worked as a security inspector, was repeating the boring and tedious work of checking tickets as usual, using a professional standard fake smile to greet one distinguished guest after another who were about to board the airship.

However, just as he had sent off a burly tiger beastman passenger, a strange fragrance suddenly assailed his nostrils, causing Karl’s eyes to narrow in surprise as he looked ahead.

Then, the young man stood there in a daze, his heart beating faster.

At this moment, the person who came before him was a stunningly beautiful and lively young girl with shoulder-length silvery-white hair, enough to catch anyone’s eye.

The girl was wearing a sky-blue short cape jacket, paired with a slightly form-fitting canary yellow velvet knee-length skirt, perfectly showcasing her flawless figure. Her clear and bright emerald eyes, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes fluttering slightly, flawless white skin with a faint blush, thin lips as delicate and enticing as rose petals.

Without a doubt, Karl had never seen such a beautiful girl in decades.

As a result, for a moment, this young beastman stared at the other party without blinking, seemingly forgetting his duty.

Until the girl tilted her head helplessly and reminded:

"Little gu... ah, sir, can you hurry up a bit? The boarding time is almost up."
