Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 934 - 935: Clues

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

Amidst the respectful farewells from the guards and maids, the silver-haired girl, dressed in a valiant white dress armor and a pure white feather crown, disappeared into the horizon like a silver-white shooting star, surrounded by a powerful and holy aura.

At the same time, Yumo, still wearing her black bunny pajamas, had already crawled out of bed and stumbled to the window, silently watching Mengxi’s departure.

As Mengxi left, the loving and gentle smile on Yumo’s face gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of solemnity.

Since realizing last night that Mengxi had deliberately lied, Yumo had inexplicably felt anxiety in her heart.

Although she had still fallen asleep peacefully holding hands with Mengxi last night, beneath her calm exterior, Yumo’s heart had been restless and uneasy. She hadn’t been able to sleep all night, and couldn’t even enter building mode. Therefore, even though it was barely dawn and far from Yumo’s usual waking time, she had already entered a state of alertness.

As soon as Mengxi left, Yumo stopped pretending to sleep and sat up directly from the bed.

Gazing at the dim and gloomy sky with a pensive expression, Yumo, who had been conflicted all night, muttered softly to herself.

"Thinking about it carefully, I believe... that girl last night was deliberately lying, right? She must have intentionally let me notice it, It’s not because of my extraordinary insight, is it?"

Of course, Yumo wasn’t talking to herself.

Upon hearing Yumo’s inquiry, a layer of scarlet energy light gradually rippled around the girl’s body. Momo, as her other half, was finally released from the suppressed state and gave a reply full of disdain without hesitation.

"You call that extraordinary insight? Mice could give birth to monkeys. Six years ago, you were deceived for so long. Have some self-awareness, will ya?"

"..."

Being told this by Momo, Yumo pouted her lips in displeasure.

Although she wanted to refute, after careful consideration, Yumo embarrassingly discovered that she indeed had no right to do so.

For a moment, the black-haired girl fell silent.

On the other hand, Momo continued with her sarcasm:

"Let alone fooling you, that acting skill far surpasses Oscar level, capable of deceiving even me. How could it be easily seen through by a fool like you? If it was like this six years ago, wouldn’t it be even more pure and passionate now? So, I think she deliberately left loopholes."

Hearing Momo’s conclusion, Yumo slightly nodded her head in agreement.

"So that’s how it is?"

Although she had already guessed, after getting Momo’s confirmation, Yumo still felt a chill in her heart, and her expression gradually darkened.

"But why do this? Deliberately lying, along with the words left on my body before..."

"She probably wants to tell you something, but she herself is unable to speak directly due to some restrictions. Also... the current situation of this Girl of Destiny seems like she’s being controlled by someone, being watched by someone. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have deliberately put on an act like this when you two were alone."

"Being watched? Being controlled?"

Leaning against the window sill, Yumo tilted her head in puzzlement.

She found it somewhat hard to accept this notion.

"That’s impossible, right? I had my sensory field activated at the time, but I didn’t feel anything. Besides, she’s the Girl of Destiny, blessed by the Goddess. Who could control her?"

"I know, but I just have this feeling."

"Why do you have this feeling?"

"The night before last, when you baka were being intimate with her, I vaguely sensed... Shadow Power from her."

"Huh?"

Hearing these words transmitted into her mind by Momo, Yumo immediately showed a look of disdain and rolled her eyes without hesitation.

"Come on, what kind of reasoning is that? That girl absorbs power from my body every day, so it’s normal for her to have Shadow Power. Moreover, her physique is very special, and she inherently possesses a unique Shadow Power. What’s the point of mentioning sensing Shadow Power, you little fool?"

"Whose fool?!"

Hearing Yumo’s disdainful words, Momo immediately gave an angry response.

Just like Yumo, being called an idiot by the other party was something hard to bear.

After an angry shout in Yumo’s mind, the furious Momo hurriedly started explaining.

She didn’t want to be looked down upon by this air head.

"The Shadow Power I’m talking about is not the Shadow Power within her body, nor is it our power. It’s a kind of... um, unfamiliar Shadow Power."

"Unfamiliar power?"

"Yes, unfamiliar power. It feels like it belongs to another Abyssal Lord."

"Abyssal Lord?! How is that possible?! You mean there’s another Abyssal Lord in this world?"

Yumo’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and she couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Although Momo could be a bit foolish at times and liked to deliberately scare and tease her, Yumo knew that Momo’s tone at this moment was not joking.

An Abyssal Lord.

That was a terrifying existence on the same level as herself. Considering that she was just a novice with power but unskilled in using it, a pure Abyssal Lord skilled in battle would likely be able to crush her.

The destructive power and killing desire of a pure Abyssal Lord might bring catastrophic disasters to the world.

Thinking of this, Yumo immediately felt a sense of unease.

"A new Abyssal Lord? Wouldn’t that be really bad?"

Seeming to hear the trepidation in Yumo’s tone, Momo sighed helplessly in Yumo’s mind.

"What are you afraid of baka? If you can’t beat them, don’t you still have me? What’s a mere Abyssal Lord? Why be so timid?! You need to know that we are very powerful! Have some confidence, will ya? Besides, this is just my guess in the end. It’s not certain that there really is another Abyssal Lord."

"Is that so..."

"But no matter what, the state of the Girl of Destiny is definitely abnormal."

"Yeah, we need to find a way to figure it out. I have a feeling that the current situation is a bit strange."

Raising her hand to her chin, Yumo gazed into the distance with a pensive look.

Figuring out what Mengxi wanted to express and the source of the strange Shadow Power aura within her body was undoubtedly the top priority at the moment.

However, how should we go about it?

Hmm?

Wait, that’s it!

In an instant, a flash of brilliance appeared in Yumo’s eyes, and Mengxi’s whisper in her ear before leaving in the morning suddenly echoed in her mind.

"Mmm? You’re up so early?"

"Yes, sorry Sister Yumo, I can’t stay with you any longer. I still need to continue the previous investigation."

"I see. You’ve worked hard."

"It’s alright. This is my responsibility."

"But since you’re going to investigate this matter, what about the other official duties in the Church Nation? You’re the emperor, so there must be quite a few things to handle, right? Umm, won’t you be too tired?"

"Wifey doesn’t need to worry about that. No matter how tired I am, the internal instability must be resolved. Also, as for the Church Nation’s official duties, there’s the ’Prime Minister’ for that. Recently, I’ve entrusted him with the Lantern Festival, military parade ceremony, and diplomatic meeting with the Sky City Lord. Sister doesn’t need to worry about these things~"

"Oh, okay."

...

After recalling the scene from the morning, Yumo suddenly had an idea.

"What’s wrong? You look like you’ve figured something."

Momo muttered, and somewhat puzzled.

In response, Yumo didn’t directly reply. Instead, she jumped down from the window sill and playfully put her finger to her lips, as if keeping a secret, and gazed towards the castle floating high in the sky in the distance.

"Hehe, I know where to go to get some clue now~"
