After the Lord of the Abyss awakens

Hughes looked at him, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise, and asked softly: "Want to eat strawberries?"

The cow cat responded cheerfully: "Meow, meow, meow! Eat!" Its joy almost overflowed, as if it was about to dance a cheerful dance at any time.

The cute female goose is really healing. In His company, Hughes' worries seemed to dissipate a bit.

Little Aini also went home, and there were only four cubs left. Hughes felt a surge of expectation in his heart, as if the happy reunion was right in front of him.

This was something Hughes had been looking forward to for a long time, but suddenly, the thing he saw in his dream resurfaced in his mind, causing him to fall into a depressed mood.

This is something that cannot be discussed with the children. Hughes couldn't help but think of Wang Chang'er, Luo Jie, and Justin. There had been no news from them for a long time. It was said that they were investigating something. Hughes was inevitably worried. Are they really safe?

He knew that if Wang Chang'er was here, all problems would be solved. Wang Changer is not only powerful, but also has a convincing personality. He is a true hero. He has rich experience and extensive connections and is a role model in the hearts of countless people.

Thinking of this, Hughes couldn't help but sigh that his friend had already reached the realm of the God King, but even though he had worked hard for more than 8,000 years, he had only reached level 79.

I don’t know if I don’t compare, but it’s really scary if I compare. It is impossible not to feel ashamed. I am still too slow. It's really useless.

Will the children be proud of such a father? Hughes' eyes were dim, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. He knew that as the father of his children, he could not let his emotions affect them.

The most important thing to avoid in cultivation is impatience. Once you are eager for success, you may go crazy. However, Hughes vaguely felt that the world was about to cause an uproar, and it would be difficult to deal with it without sufficient strength. This premonition made him feel the urgency and pressure of "impending death" for the first time in a long time.

As a modeler, Hughes often faces the pressure and tension caused by deadlines in his daily work. However, the "dead line" he faces now is definitely not comparable to what work can do. It is probably related to the fate of the entire world and the safety of myself and my children.

Hughes wasn't sure if he would survive this. He has too many unknowns about the world and his own future. Even about his own children, there was a lot he didn't know. Vasak, Samikina...there are a lot of Zaizai out there who don't know what they are doing. Have they been upgraded? It should be so, but they are still worried because they don't know the specific situation.

Hughes smiled, but suddenly fell into deep thought. He looked past the cow and cat, as if he wanted to say something, but chose silence.

"Father, meow?" The cow cat is very playful. He deftly completed a three-layered fruit platter, with a Superman doll cleverly inserted in the middle and several cute IP characters placed around it. The whole work was full of innocence and fun.

Hughes came back to his senses, gently stroked the cow cat's head, and praised: "Our little Aini is really amazing."

The cow cat was filled with joy after being praised, and his happiness seemed to bubble up. He shook his head and responded in a childish voice: "Father is even more powerful, meow. Father is the most powerful person in the world, meow!"

Hughes laughed after hearing this and did not explain much. After a few minutes, he gently picked up the cow cat and took it back to the room to talk to him.

They exchanged a few words. After the cats were all settled, he went to the study alone, preparing to test the knowledge he had learned in his dreams around seven o'clock in the evening.

-

After a few minutes. In the courtyard, cats gather and whisper to each other.

"Father is worried, meow."

"What should I do, meow?"

"...I don't know either, nya."

Among the four cats, the shorter one is the taller one, and the gray cat, the second to last one, has become the mature and responsible one.

They noticed that their father encountered troubles during the upgrade process, but they did not have many effective solutions to his father's upgrade problem and were unable to give him substantial help.

The cow cat thought for a while, his eyes glowed and said, "I'm going to accompany my father to learn how to meow!"

He said this and was about to swish his tail and leave.

"Wait a minute, father said don't go in yet, meow."

The gray cat grabs the cow cat's tail.

The cow cat suddenly became excited, turned around immediately, grabbed its tail, and stared at the gray cat with red eyes.

"Yes, meow. When father is studying wholeheartedly, we can't disturb father, meow."

The little short-footed cat suddenly interrupted, rarely speaking a long sentence.

Although the cow cat was willful, it was not unreasonable. After thinking about it, he chose to stop, nodded and said, "You are right, meow."

Although little Aini is willful, he is not very stubborn, especially since he has just met his father, and he feels that he should be cautious about anything about his father. She can't make her father annoying or cause trouble to her father. She wants to be his father's most well-behaved and considerate girl, Goose Meow!

However, it would be great if their brothers and sisters could communicate easily, so that they could ask what they should do.

The gray cat glanced at the private chat space.

Malbus hasn't read the private message, and he doesn't know when he will be free.

Although the fourth brother Samikina was outside, he was also busy with things at hand. They went to find the fourth brother, but whether they could communicate was still a problem.

Thinking of this, the gray cat turned to look at the Devon cat, whose head was hanging down and unresponsive.

The Rubik's Cube that the fourth brother is solving is Lelakin's memory. Lelakin's demon is here. Can Lelakin solve it? Wouldn't this free Fourth Brother?

Devon Cat seemed to notice his gaze, turned his head, met the gray cat's eyes, and replied: "I don't know how to solve that Rubik's Cube, meow."

The gray cat was dumbfounded. The cow cat opened its eyes wide, approached the Devon cat and said, "But that's your memory, meow!"

Devin Cat frowned slightly, as if he tried hard, but finally shook his head.

The gray cat and the cow cat looked at each other.

At this time, the little short-footed cat lowered his head and suddenly said: "We... can't hide our father anymore, meow."

The three cats were stunned for a moment, and focused on the little short-footed cat.

Why did Selie suddenly say this?

The little short-footed cat said seriously: "My father is uneasy, meow. Because I am often uneasy, so I understand very well, meow."

He raised his head, looked into a pair of green eyes, and said in a rare tough tone: "We have to tell Father our true identity, meow."

A lot of uneasiness, tension and fear come from the unknown. Because I am too unknown to the surroundings and the world, and cannot predict my own situation, I feel nervous and uneasy.

Although I don’t know

My father, who has always been emotionally stable, experienced something and saw something in his dream, which made him feel a little bad when he woke up. But no matter what, this issue should be brought to the table sooner or later.

They looked at each other.

But if you don't hide it, you will tell your father that they are the monarchs of the abyss. They once ruled an era with countless dark histories. There were frequent fights between their compatriots, especially the three great demons Beelzebub, Butis, and Amon. If the deeds of any one of the three of them were known to his father without any "embellishing", how would his father feel?

They should tell their father the truth. But can they decide this matter?

The four cats each have their own thoughts.

Even little Aini was silent.

The little short-footed cat broke the silence and said seriously: "I have to ask Brother Bryce about the progress of the re-editing of history."

They couldn't tell whether revealing their identities without any foreshadowing was a good thing or a bad thing for their father. What if their father couldn't accept it and was sad...

The cats lowered their heads, seeing each other's worries.

Gray cats believe that unchanged is better than change, especially in this situation. The evil in the universe has been found out. There is a pervert who is trying every possible means to die, but there is also a creator god secretly. They don't know what the situation is.

"Don't worry yet."

The gray cat looked at the closed study and said, "We have to wait."

-

The other side of the planet, the edge of dreams.

The evil of the universe took the form of an elf, suspended in a vacuum zone, watching the developments on the planet. He had no expression on his face, his eyes were dark, and he whispered.

"Have they still seen my true purpose? I obviously didn't tell much."

The evil of the universe, or Anolo, once had many names, so many that even he cannot remember them. The longer he lives, the worse his memory becomes. Like a machine that is getting old, if it is not continuously repaired, he will lose his memory. It is difficult to stabilize the mind, so that I lose everything, focus on one thing and another, or even forget it completely.

Sometimes He didn't even know He had done something. Even if the real memory scene is in front of him, he will still feel unreal.

He has lived for too long, and has become rotten and bad. No matter whether it is changing the body or expanding the body, no method can save his long-dead soul.

"Are you asking me what I did back then?"

Anolo seemed to be talking to someone, looking at the void of the universe opposite.

"I didn't start the summoning of the brave, it was the Goddess of Harmony who started it. But the Goddess of Harmony wasn't the beginning either. When I came back to my senses, the Goddess of Harmony had already joined forces with the six gods to construct the summoning magic."

"I don't pay much attention to the summoning of heroes, and I don't think they can succeed, but my clone Arnold, as the next generation of sages and the strongest magician of the contemporary era, should be the executor of this summoning magic. And he has indeed become it. "

Anolo talked eloquently.

"I don't know what Arnold was thinking. At that time, I was not interested in anything. I thought that the human line did not have the possibility to subvert my father, so I gave all the main power to Arnold. Arnold is free, At least it’s freer than me.”

As he spoke, He smiled with an unknown meaning, and continued: "I only found out about the success of the summoning of heroes later. At that time, I woke up naturally from sleep, and as soon as I woke up, I heard all kinds of information from all over the world, among which loudest

Ryo's voice was of course the voice discussing the brave man. "

"Seven brave men from different worlds and different professions."

Interesting? Very interesting. Because even he didn't know which "other world" these brave men came from. There was no way, he slept through the summoning ceremony and missed too many key moments, and it was difficult to speculate based on Arnold's memory alone.

"Yes, for me, the seven of them are also unknown. It just happened that Arnold was with them, and I also had the opportunity to observe them."

Anolo pinched his chin, as if recalling the situation at that time.

In an unfamiliar place, the seven brave men who have just arrived, and the human country in dire straits. As aliens who have been dragged into the water, how will they view this country and its top leaders? Should they become furious and refuse to cooperate, or should they compromise and serve humanity.

This is something worth observing. There was a real dispute at the beginning. Among the brave men there was a very young man with a bad temper and hatred for the human sage who summoned him to this world.

The situation is on the verge of breaking out, even before cooperation is proposed. It is normal for humans to have tempers.

He once thought that this was the end. The brave would not cooperate with the human country and challenge the other world alone. They would be killed by trolls or destroyed by gods. The human country would lose a year of national destiny and would most likely perish.

Both sides suffer. Very reasonable development.

But a few days later, things developed beyond imagination.

They actually cooperated.

The brave man seemed to have forgiven the summoners and chose to cooperate. The human countries quickly seized the opportunity for cooperation. After all, no matter what, the brave are their hope.

"It's incredible, I thought so at the time."

Arnold's eyes were indifferent, "Later, I followed Arnold's line of sight and discovered the person who changed this situation."

A brave man with the profession of creator, his name is Xius.

"Is it strange that I just discovered it? Hmm... I didn't pay attention to the specific occupation at first. After knowing it, I found it even more incredible."

Anolo's tone changed slightly.

"But that's all. Why? For this planet, creators are a profession that has never existed, but they have existed in other star fields. In my memory, there are more than a hundred of them. So I still didn’t think anything of it at the time. I cared more about his character than his career. Of course, to be more precise, Arnold cared about him, and Arnold liked him very much.”

"You ask why? It's because Arnold has a cowardly character and is less resistant to gentle people."

Anoluo blinked, "You said it's just gentleness. Why are some people always deceived by such a boring nature? Ha, that's in your opinion. People like that are very rare among humans. Especially in that environment, everyone was tense and frightened.”

"But Arnold ended up feeling anxious because he felt like the people who were supposed to be helping him weren't helping him."

"I had no problem with that. Arnold could do whatever he wanted. But I saw my father in him that day."

Speaking of this, Anolo's face was distorted and his eyes were filled with hatred, "Ah, how could such a hateful figure appear? I stopped watching immediately. I couldn't stand him and his related objects appearing in front of me, so I killed him, and at the same time I was obeying Arnold's heart.

"

Of course Arnold didn't blame the other person to the point of killing him, but so what, I wanted to kill him.

?Hui Yutian reminds you that "After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens" will be updated as soon as possible, remember [(

Anolo spoke frankly about what happened back then, but just like Beelzebub initially assumed, he didn't think that much at first.

The appearance of murderous intent did not have much conspiracy, it was just due to hatred towards that father. Isn't this reason enough?

Secondly, he felt that one of the seven brave men must die, so that the remaining people could be inspired to practice hard and complete their heroic missions. After all, anyone could see the importance of Hughes to the brave group. He is not very interested in this human line, but he will not be lenient when it comes to helping. What if it can be done?

A hero with no upward limit would be a good chess piece, don't you think?

So I killed him.

The method was very simple, let him unfortunately fall into the abyss, and even if he could survive by chance, with his strength at the time, he would never be able to walk out of the abyss alive, let alone a useless profession like a creator.

Anolo's eyes were cold, "I really didn't expect that he would survive and create so many extraordinary beings."

"Huh? You still think I did it on purpose? How could I do it on purpose? Not all actions have a conspiracy behind them, but I also admit that I was blind at the time and didn't notice Demon God Barr and Agares."

When talking about Agares, Anoluo couldn't help but tremble, as if he remembered the terror of being dominated by "omniscience".

"...Ah, let's go on. After he fell into the abyss, I stopped caring about him, but Arnold fell into despair from that day on, his mentality completely collapsed, and he eventually sought death. So Arnold's soul merged with me, causing me to be more or less It’s less affected.”

"At that time, I don't know whether it was because of Arnold's influence or because of something else. I was often restless and felt that there was something unusual in the abyss. I went to see it several times and searched it several times, but I never found anything."

Just because I haven't found it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. He only found out later that it was because Agares blocked his search. It had been blocked for more than three years, and then an extremely rare flaw was revealed, and he discovered it.

Anolo's eyes were deep and he continued: "After I found out, of course I had to kill again. That time I manipulated the abyss and used the power of the God of Luck. I should have succeeded in the end, but I didn't expect that he was still alive. "

The air was subtly quiet for a few seconds.

Anoluo continued: "You asked me why I stopped so quickly? I thought that his creations would disappear after he died, so I left them alone. I never expected that they would all survive until now. I was negligent, didn’t pay enough attention? You have to say so. It was indeed negligent, but maybe my negligence was the result of [cognitive tampering]? Agares, the Lord of the Abyss, is the best cognitive operator in history. The existence of my father is even more embarrassing than that."

"In short, that's more or less it. You can say that this is all caused by my stupidity, but I want to remind you that cognitive tampering is extremely easy to fall into. Once you notice it, it will be too late. It is even worse than the illusion power. It’s going to be troublesome.”

Anolo seemed to be tired of talking, his eyes were dark, and he cast his eyes towards the opposite side of the space.

It was also at this time that the person with whom He communicated appeared. It is a tall silver humanoid, indistinguishable from male to female, with sharp eyebrows and beautiful facial features.

He is called Alien God No. 005 on the mainland, also called the God of Change.

, controls all changes in nature, and also controls some principles of time.

More than three thousand years ago, Anolo thought He was unconscious, so he tried to usurp it. Unexpectedly, He suddenly regained consciousness and fought back on Him, almost killing Him.

Today, more than three thousand years later, the God of Change is puzzled by various events in recent days, especially the sudden return of the demon god Baal, so he captured him to understand the situation.

He is the planet's know-it-all, and knows most everything from ancient times to the present, if only He could remember it.

After understanding these stories, the God of Change narrowed his silver eyes and made no comment. Maybe it’s because the matter is too complicated, and I started to feel that I shouldn’t get involved in it.

"So, do they know everything about you?"

The God of Change stared at Anolo.

They in His mouth?_[("It goes without saying that it refers to the Lord of the Abyss.

Anoluo affirmed: "I almost know it. There is no way, they have almost noticed it."

The God of Change was silent and asked again: "Why did you take the initiative to go there?"

Anolo: "It seems like I went there on my own initiative."

The God of Change paused and suddenly thought of the "cognitive tampering" just mentioned.

Anolo lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Ever since I met Agares in my true form, my mind has not been right. I can't say that I was controlled by him, but I was definitely affected by him."

A bit of surprise flashed in the God of Change's eyes, and he immediately avoided the risk, stopped talking about this topic, and said instead: "It is your ultimate goal."

"Destroy it?"

Anolo smiled with a strange expression, "Yes, they knew it."

Perhaps, only they who have been in that situation can think of this matter - "Existence is a curse, destruction is a blessing".

He was designed to be a gathering place for the filth of the universe. He was born as the ugliest existence in the universe. He woke up listening to countless curses and established himself in the sin of the universe.

At that time, He knew nothing and had no doubts about his own existence or himself. He felt that he was born this way and it was his duty to bear sin.

Probably around hundreds of thousands of years, I forget the details.

Later, He realized it. Not all beings are like Him. Even if the beings other than Him are in the worst situation, they are much better than His situation.

Yes, He learned to compare, compare one by one with other beings in the universe, and then gradually discovered it. The universe is vast and infinite, and He is the lowest and ugliest existence in the entire cosmic system.

Designed by His Creator God.

When He realized this, he actually didn't feel much about it, he just felt a little incomprehensible.

Maybe there is a reason? Existence is reasonable, and the wise Father cannot make mistakes. The Father must have created himself to better maintain the universe and make the world more peaceful. If He is not at the bottom, there will be someone at the bottom, it just happens to be Him.

I think back then, He really just explained himself like this. In the infinite loop of explanations, I kept enduring that situation until one day I finally collapsed.

It was a very ordinary day, everything was so ordinary. He went to a planet on a whim and assumed the appearance of a human being.

He thought that He was disguised so perfectly that no one could know Him and that He would be able to perfectly

Integrate into humanity. However, He was still worried, so he prepared for more than ten years, observing them, learning from them, their civilization, thoughts, living habits... and many other things.

His life was too long and he always had to find some entertainment. That period of time was a kind of entertainment for Him. That's how it should be. However, the time invested and the hard work gradually became of great significance to him.

Finally one day, He ended his observation and made up his mind to integrate into the human race. Everything was ready, including language, body, skin, clothing, etc. But before he even got close to the countryside, he was stoned. Several human children stared at Him fiercely, as if they were seeing the ugliest and twisted monster in the world, and they cursed Him crazily, telling Him to die and get out of here.

His presence was so stench that it even caused several human children to vomit.

——What kind of filthy existence must they have seen for them to react like this?

He was stunned at the time. He did not expect such a result. He froze in place for a long time without reacting. The human children would not let him go because of this. They also found adults who were much crueler than them and regarded him as some kind of beast. Come on, stab him with knives and swords, chop him in the neck with an axe, chop him into pieces and so on.

When He reacted, he had already killed them all, and by the way, the entire planet was wiped out.

Looking back, that was the day He awakened. It should be recorded in the calendar in your mind, and when the time comes to wish yourself a happy birthday, the pain will begin.

Once he began to question his own existence, everything was out of control. The pain that could be endured before became gradually unbearable, and he couldn't even become numb. What's even more ridiculous is that he couldn't give up his "responsibility" on his own because That is "set", and it is useless even if He dies. As long as consciousness exists, the filth in the world will come to Him. Even with the body, it can be dispersed. Without the body, the level of nausea will only double.

Eventually, He rebelled against His Father and failed numerous times. Before His Father, He was like a foolish rebellious brat who childishly challenged and then failed miserably. But even so, the Father will not destroy Him, because the universe cannot exist without Him, just like a home cannot exist without a trash can.

So... so desperate.

No matter who it is, any existence will do, as long as it can bring Him destruction, He will definitely welcome it.

However, no one showed up. No one can erase His Father’s setting.

Anolo lowered his eyes, his eyes were desperate and tired, revealing unfathomable darkness. He was silent for ten minutes before continuing: "Just discover it, and it won't change much."

The God of Change seemed to feel something about the word "change" and said, "It's hard to say."

Anolo: "Really?"

God of Change: "They wanted to kill you before, but now they just want to keep you alive."

"..."

Anolo's eyes darkened, and his body suddenly trembled violently, not knowing whether it was anger or fear, and he wailed: "I can't live anymore."

——I can’t bear it anymore.

He didn't know what he thought of, and the jealousy in his eyes flashed away. Why was his father so cruel, but their father was so gentle.

The God of Change said nothing and finally asked two questions, "Where is your Father and what is He going to do now?"

Anolo paused and didn't answer for a long time.

with this

Meanwhile, Oedipus is in his study at midnight.

Hughes concentrated on studying, his eyes almost fixed on the desk. He remained motionless for several hours, as if in a daze, but his eyes were bright. The magic power he overflowed spread throughout the study space, and its nature changed repeatedly. Sometimes it was fire, sometimes it was water, and there were even various mixtures.

He has made progress, and his control over magic power has obviously reached a higher level, but he feels that it is not enough and he has to force himself to work harder. In the past, he clearly knew the principle of combining work and rest, but an inexplicable panic forced him to hurry up.

Unbeknownst to him, the crack in the door opened slightly, revealing four pairs of green eyes of different shades.

The four cats were worried. The gray cat is more sensitive to magic and can better feel the emotions contained in his father's magic.

Can't turn a blind eye!

They looked at each other and decided to act at the same time. Even the Devon cat raised its paws.

Hughes seemed to have finally come to his senses and was about to turn the page when suddenly a gray cat head appeared from the desk cabinet.

He was suddenly startled, "Imbos?"

Before he could react, another meow came from the floor. He looked down and saw that the cow cat was looking at him with twinkling eyes.

"Ani..." Hughes was stunned. He heard another meow in front of him. He turned around and saw that it was the Devin cat who was serving him hot tea.

"Lelagin..."

His pupils trembled slightly, and he heard another meow. He turned his eyes and saw a little short-legged cat sitting on the page of the book.

His claws were short, but they stretched out towards him, scratched the air and said, "Are you tired, daddy?"

Hughes paused and grabbed his paw involuntarily, unable to suppress the happiness that surged in his heart. !
