Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1022: The Continent’s Situation

Dawn.

Above the Winter Forest, after a flash of grey light, a handsome black-haired man suddenly descended from the sky, landing in the eastern central area before Yumo’s important villa.

Thousands of Abyssal Demons hiding around the residence poked their heads out at the sound, glaring menacingly at the ’intruder’ like Viet Cong scouts. However, after smelling his familiar magical aura, they showed disinterested expressions and quietly crawled back into their snow and grass hideouts.

The visitor was naturally Xiao Black Rose, leader of the Black Rose family.

Regarding human society’s situation, Yumo actually didn’t feel much responsibility. Rather than caring about the world, she was more concerned with her children’s emotions, wanting to properly make up for the maternal love they’d missed over the years. Thus, after the battle ended, Yumo returned to the Winter Forest.

Since Yumo had neither interest nor ability in management, after she went home, Xiao took up the responsibility of Vinati’s administrator, helping stabilize the chaotic situation.

Only after everything was temporarily settled could Xiao rush urgently to the Winter Forest.

Though he’d already learned of Yumo’s return, due to plan restrictions, Xiao hadn’t directly interacted with Yumo - even when meeting, it was just brief battlefield communication.

Even though current Xiao was a family head, practically a hundred-year-old youngster, in some sense he still harbored a child’s heart - he wanted to act spoiled with Yumo, wanted to receive her praise.

Therefore, after tidying his appearance, Xiao eagerly pushed open the villa’s front door.

Then… This Black Rose Duke froze stupidly in place.

"Eh?!"

What met his eyes was that familiar, heavenly beautiful black-haired girl. However, the black-haired girl’s current behavior left Xiao utterly bewildered.

At this moment, the black-haired girl sat on the sofa, her table before her laden with dazzling delicacies, mainly pastries and sweets. Due to Yumo’s disappearance these years, no Black Rose family servants were arranged inside the villa... Considering the other children’s horrifying cooking skills, naturally only his virtuous Lady Yumo could make such delicious food.

It was understandable for Lady Yumo to make snacks for the children, but...

The problem was...

Why were YOU gorging yourself, Lady Yumo?!!!

In Xiao’s reflected gaze,

The black-haired girl seemed to have forgotten everything around her, completely immersed in the happiness brought by cakes and desserts. Under Xiao’s dumbfounded stare, she sampled various flavored sweets one after another, as if wanting to try all the wonderful tastes. Unconsciously, her mouth became stuffed full, like a hamster storing food.

Cream stuck to her mouth corners, her cheeks puffed up from being stuffed with cake, creating a somewhat comical but extremely adorable sight that made one want to laugh.

Staring at the black-haired beauty who was feasting away, a cake in each hand, wolfing down food, Xiao stood stunned in place, motionless as a statue, completely wooden.

Meanwhile,

’Yumo’ seemed to notice this uninvited guest, raising her hamster-like adorable face and blinking curiously to meet Xiao’s gaze.

"Wanf fum?" (Want some?)

The next moment,

Xiao suddenly slammed the door shut and rushed to a nearby tree! Hugging it, he violently bashed his head against it! After dozens of hits, the giant tree crashed down.

After thoroughly banging his head, Xiao returned to the villa entrance.

Taking a deep breath solemnly, Xiao slowly pushed open the villa door.

This time, What met his eyes was a clean, tidy living room, and a noble, elegant beautiful young woman wearing a loving smile.

Looking at that familiar young woman, Xiao couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Sure enough, That earlier scene was my imagination.

As for why Yumo had cream at her mouth corners... he’d better not mind that.

Then, Xiao slowly walked into the living room, respectfully bowing to Yumo.

"Good morning, Lady Yumo."

"Morning, Xiao."

The girl responded with a particularly bright sweet smile.

"Sorry, Xiao, for troubling you with so many things to handle."

"It’s nothing, this is what I should do."

"Have some breakfast."

Speaking, Yumo handed prepared cake to Xiao. It was a Black Forest cake Yumo had freshly made, covered with light cream, elegant in its simple, warm decoration. Though Xiao accepted Yumo’s prepared food calmly and elegantly, his heart was already jumping with joy~

Hehe, Breakfast made by Lady Yumo~ such a nostalgic feeling~

Eagerly, Xiao forked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. Though Xiao didn’t like sweets, for food made by Yumo, regardless of type, he held only love.

As the cake entered his mouth, happiness suddenly bloomed across Xiao’s face.

"Lady Yumo, your culinary skill remains as superb as ever."

Xiao praised sincerely, showing a rare smile, a relaxed joy leaking out from under his serious exterior.

Watching Xiao happily enjoying the food, Yumo nodded with satisfaction:

"By the way, Xiao, how’s the current situation?"

"Not too good."

Xiao answered honestly.

"Though the Chosen One and First Apostle have been defeated by Lady Yumo, Tania’s earlier plans to disrupt the continent still caused us many troubles. After learning they were being governed by Abyssal Demons, regions like Holy Lomari, Sadik, the Church Nation, and Night Wish City all fell into an unstable state. There are even quite a few presumptuous folks who’ve formed resistance armies, trying to overthrow our rule."

"Is that so... Isn’t that very troublesome? Can it be resolved smoothly?"

Yumo asked worriedly.

"If it were six years ago, it would be thorny, but now, honestly, it’s not much."

Xiao answered confidently.

"During these six years, we Black Rose family have more or less influenced public attitudes toward Abyssal Demons through media, education, and government propaganda. Though still resistant, hostility is clearly less than six years ago. Especially the new generation of young people and children, their hostility is much less than before. After all, these years, Abyssal Demons have never attacked human cities."

"I see."

"More importantly, under Abyss Demon rule these six years, the continent has been very peaceful, with no wars breaking out. The public’s living standards have genuinely improved. Before the Church Wings’ attack, public support for the government was consistently breaking historical records. Though many troublemakers have appeared recently, there are also many supporters among the population. We’re not universally opposed - using those supporters, it’s not hard to stabilize the current situation. As for those... troublemakers, we’ll need Lady Yumo’s help."

"Me?"

Pointing at herself, Yumo blinked in confusion,

"How can I help?"

"Currently, some humans resist mainly due to deep-seated hostility toward Abyssal Demons, but this hostility was basically cultivated by the Asumos Church in the past. Therefore, though they’re hostile to Abyssal Demons, they’re especially respectful toward the church and goddess. Lady Yumo, didn’t you activate the Judgment Saint’s power within you earlier? That power shares the same origin as the goddess’s power."

"You mean..."

"Yes, we need you, Lady Yumo, to use the Saint’s power to address the whole continent, asking the public to stop fighting with Abyssal Demons. After feeling that divine power aura, those resisters should choose to surrender. Of course, if they remain stubborn, we can only use the most brutal methods to deal with them."

As he spoke, Xiao’s expression gradually sank, showing a hint of murderous intent.

"Well, I hope it doesn’t come to that~ After all, I’m a good person, and don’t want to engage in such slaughter."

"Let’s hope so."

Yumo sighed somewhat helplessly.

Then, The girl looked seriously at Xiao, asking another question she was quite concerned about:

"By the way, Xiao."

"Yes, Lady Yumo?"

"Xia, that abyssal demon… Eos, have you found any trace of her afterwards?"
