Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 855 - 856: Negotiations Break Down

3/4

"Don’t say it! Don’t say it! Don’t you dare say another word! If you keep talking, I’ll fight you to death, ahhhhhhhh!"

A series of hysterical, shame-filled words burst out from the space.

The entire consciousness space trembled violently in response.

As the voice cried out, powerful energy currents surged from all directions, rolling towards Yumo’s position! It was clearly an attempt to stop Yumo from continuing to speak.

Although this unconscious outburst of spiritual fluctuations could still shatter the souls of ordinary people, it seemed trivial to Yumo.

The black-haired girl merely raised her hand lightly, and the rolling force rushing towards her was instantly shattered into pieces.

"Tsk~"

After a cold snort, Yumo shook her head helplessly.

No matter what, she had not come to this hidden consciousness space in the depths of her mind to argue with this fellow.

Therefore, in order to have a harmonious conversation, Yumo did not continue to refute the other party, but instead followed their wishes quite obediently and stopped her mockery.

"Alright, alright, I won’t say any more."

Seeing that Yumo had indeed stopped recounting her dark history, the existence hidden within this vast consciousness space gradually regained its calm. The energy that had been rampaging throughout the space slowly subsided.

After confirming that the other party’s emotions had stabilized somewhat, Yumo let out a slight sigh of relief and, with a rare sincerity in her eyes, swept her gaze across the surrounding desert:

"I said those things not to mock you. I just wanted to remind you that it was I who brought you out of that little dark room earlier and preserved your consciousness. In a sense, I can be considered your benefactor. Moreover, we are originally the same person. Can’t we coexist more harmoniously?"

...

As Yumo’s words were spoken, the vast space briefly fell into an eerie shadow of silence. Yumo stood in the desert like this, waiting for the other party’s response.

And after this moment of silence, that female voice rang out once again.

Only this time, the voice had lost its earlier fluster and became calm and filled with coldness.

Yumo’s previous words seemed to have greatly displeased her.

A chilling hostility instantly locked onto Yumo’s body from all directions.

"Are you joking?"

"No, I’m serious. As long as you promise me not to act recklessly anymore, I can preserve your consciousness..."

"Not act recklessly? You mean, not harm your so-called family members? And that Girl of Destiny? Continue to cooperate with you in playing house?"

"Something like that, I suppose."

"Heh, hehe, hehehe, hahahahahahaha!!!"

In an instant, a burst of wild laughter, accompanied by the frenzied vibration of energy, immediately resounded throughout the consciousness space.

"What’s so funny?"

Yumo frowned in displeasure at the laughter coming from all around.

Soon, an angry rebuke filled with rage was instantly transmitted into Yumo’s ears in response,

"Are you an idiot?!!"

"Huh?"

"Those abyssal demon children are one thing. Considering our shared race, as long as they obey my wishes, I might not take action against them. As for those human servants of yours? I have no intention of keeping such disgusting existences around."

"..."

"If humans are already like this, then there’s no need to even mention that Girl of Destiny?! She is the child of the Goddess, the same woman who caused me to be trapped alive in your consciousness space for hundreds of years!!! FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, I clearly retained my consciousness, yet I knew almost nothing about the outside world!! Unless your will was scattered, I could barely observe some of the external situations. The rest of the time, I could only stay alone in that sunless little dark room, unable to do anything, unable to feel anything?! It’s enough to drive one mad! It’s that woman who caused me to suffer so much?!! And this time, when I finally got out, I was locked back in the dark room again, wasn’t it also because of that Girl of Destiny?! How could I possibly let her off?! You must be daydreaming?!"

"I saved you before, didn’t I? Can’t you just cooperate a little as a way to repay the favor?"

"Repay the favor? Heh, you fool, you’ve really been corrupted by the culture of those humans, haven’t you? I am the Abyssal Lord, I don’t need to follow the cultural habits of my enemies. In my dictionary, there’s no such thing as repaying favors. As for the words of enemies, they must be completely eradicated! Not to mention the daughter of my nemesis."

Hearing these disdainful words, Yumo sighed helplessly, and a bitter smile gradually emerged on her exquisite face.

Alas, so it’s like this after all?

At this moment, Yumo could clearly feel the contempt for humans and the hatred for the Goddess and Mengxi in the other personality’s tone.

Trying to get the other party to cooperate and coexist harmoniously with humans and the chosen one through dialogue? It was obviously a bit unrealistic.

The glimmer of hope in her heart was thus shattered.

Yumo shook her head and muttered to herself in a helpless tone:

"Sigh, it seems I was too naive..."

Although Yumo was talking to herself in a low voice, in this space completely dominated by the other party, Yumo’s every word and action could not escape the other’s perception.

A voice filled with sarcasm and mockery soon rang out beside Yumo’s ears:

"Heh, it’s good that you know. Not only naive, but also very stupid! So foolish as to save me back then? If you had been a little smarter and hadn’t brought me out of that little dark room before, wouldn’t there be no problems at all? Moreover, what’s even more stupid is..."

As the words were spoken, the surrounding gray desert area began to silently distort and deform, and bone-chilling coldness and spine-tingling hostility continuously surged out from between heaven and earth. This sword-like coldness, in an instant, all pointed towards Yumo.

"What’s even more stupid is that you, you idiot, actually dare to come to my domain so openly? Do you really have no fear at all? Aren’t you afraid that I will directly defeat you here, imprison your consciousness, and then seize control of your body?! That way, I can do whatever I want with the outside world."

The next moment, as if to demonstrate its determination, the gloomy world was suddenly filled with a rich crimson light! The terrifying shadow power continued to gather, abruptly condensing into tens of thousands of energy arrows around Yumo’s body. And these arrows were all aimed at the black-haired girl’s delicate figure.

Faced with such a tense scene, Yumo’s eyes slowly closed.

Although she was reluctant to take this worst step, she was mentally prepared for this situation.

"It seems there’s no possibility of having a good talk, is there?"

"Heh, talk? I prefer taking action over talking."

"Alright, although I don’t really want to engage in any self-destructive acts, since you’ve chosen this way, I have no choice."

After shaking her head with some regret, Yumo opened her eyes again. At this moment, the calmness in her eyes had already disappeared, replaced by a surge of intense energy.

"If talking is useless, then I can only beat you into submission."

As the declaration of war was spoken, the crimson light in Yumo’s eyes undulated slowly. Under the guidance of her consciousness, a fluffy weapon was suddenly tightly grasped in her palm?!!

Huh?!

Upon seeing that strange weapon that resembled a cleaning tool, the consciousness hidden in the space was instantly stunned. After coming back to her senses, she couldn’t help but let out a mocking laugh:

"Heh, at a time like this, you bring out a feather duster? Are you serious? You don’t really think that kind of thing used to scare little kids can deal with me, do you? How... presumptuous."

Faced with the other personality’s disdainful mockery, Yumo coldly laughed without showing any weakness:

"Whether it’s presumptuous or not, you’ll know once you try it, won’t you~?"

"Hmph, try it then!"

As soon as the words fell, tens of thousands of crimson energy arrows, carrying a terrifying momentum capable of destroying heaven and earth, poured down like a torrential rain towards the position where Yumo was standing!
