Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 977: Unexpected Good News
1/2
Whether it was Higanbana, Sword Demon, or Inferno, they were all terrifying Demon Kings that once left Asumos Church at a loss.
But in Zuoben’s eyes now, they were no longer to be feared.
Whether it was these three powerful Demon Kings, or the thirty eighth-level gluttonous beasts summoned by Youlan, in the face of the Goddess’s absolute power, they would all meet a fate of being reduced to ashes. That group of monsters might be able to delay for a while, but their ultimate fate was already sealed.
"Trying to defeat the Goddess with numerical advantage? It’s nothing but a fool’s dream."
Zuoben muttered lightly in his heart.
Now that Bloody Butterfly was temporarily sealed, Zuoben no longer needed to worry about exposure and could boldly use the Goddess’s power.
One of the Goddess’s most special abilities was to create a disguise indistinguishable from the real thing.
Whether it was aura, emotions, fighting style, or magic type, she could perfectly disguise herself as another person.
Having the Goddess disguise herself as the Girl of Destiny and kill those Demon Kings, no one would notice anything unusual. The residual aura on those corpses would all be holy energy identical to Mengxi’s. Even Bloody Butterfly wouldn’t be able to see through it.
When Bloody Butterfly finally breaks through the barrier with great difficulty and sees the corpses of her children, feeling the familiar yet cold holy energy aura on them...
I wonder what reaction she’ll have?
She’ll surely instantly kill the Girl of Destiny, right?
At that time, we can draw out that false goddess...
Heh, hehe, hehehe
Thinking of this, the corners of Zuoben’s mouth involuntarily curved upwards, revealing a cruel smile full of excitement.
Of course, Zuoben quickly controlled his expression and temporarily closed the magic projection, after all, that young lady was still watching in front of him.
Slowly dissipating the holy energy in his hand, Zuoben looked somewhat meaningfully at the expressionless silver-haired girl leaning against the wall.
"Cheer up, Your Majesty. Thanks to the Goddess, those monsters who would compete with you for the Empress Consort will soon be completely eliminated."
Faced with Zuoben’s words, Mengxi glanced slightly displeased towards the distant north,
"For those monsters who dare to snatch my Yumo, I prefer to deal with them personally."
"I understand your desire to kill them with your own hands. But you’ve just consumed too much energy sealing your Empress, it’s better to rest for a while. Moreover, your power is still needed now to further strengthen the barrier. Leave the task of dealing with those monsters to me."
"Since you insist. Then I’ll trouble you."
"It’s my duty, Your Majesty."
Zuoben respectfully lowered his head in response,
However, the moment he lowered his head,
A barely noticeable trace of mockery inadvertently leaked from Zuoben’s eyes.
Hmph, fool...
If his judgment wasn’t wrong,
Mengxi was not just a simple Girl of Destiny. That silver hair, similar appearance, all indicated the inseparable relationship between her and that woman.
Mengxi, She was the daughter of that false goddess.
Just thinking about how he had tampered with her memories, easily manipulating that one’s daughter using obsession and desire, Zuoben felt an unprecedented sense of achievement in his heart, making him unable to help but revel in it.
You bastard, Playing with our world, playing with our fate, since that’s the case... then I’ll manipulate your daughter! Treat your daughter like a puppet, toying with her at will!
Glancing at that silver figure with the corner of his eye, Zuoben’s eyes suddenly flashed with anticipation for the future.
Your Majesty, ah, Your Majesty In your view, after killing the Demon Kings and stripping Bloody Butterfly’s power with the ’Polar Star Coffin’, Bloody Butterfly will become your caged bird completely, staying by your side for life, right? Unfortunately, that barrier won’t last long. Once the barrier shatters, Bloody Butterfly will directly kill you.
I really wonder what kind of expression you’ll show at that time?
After briefly imagining the future of the false goddess’s daughter dying resentfully, and the false goddess’s grief-stricken expression, an extraordinary pleasure welled up in Zuoben’s heart.
Sigh, Now is not the time for random fantasies. To achieve such a goal, there’s still one crucial step that must be completed.
His eyes narrowing slightly, Zuoben turned his gaze towards Mengxi’s chest.
Of course, Zuoben wasn’t interested in Mengxi’s ample bosom. What he cared about was the most important treasure in this world buried beneath that chest.
Hmm, It’s been stripped for so long, it should be about time.

It’s time to take that thing out.
Otherwise, If it gets annihilated along with the Girl of Destiny’s body by Bloody Butterfly later, it would be a huge loss.
Thinking of this, Zuoben slowly stood up, wearing a gentle but eerie smile, and walked step by step towards Mengxi.
"Your Majesty... Hm??"
However, Just as Zuoben had just opened his mouth, a familiar aura suddenly invaded Zuoben’s perception, causing him to slightly furrow his brow.
Hmm?
This guy, his timing is really bad...
The next moment,
Accompanied by a strong wave of holy energy in the sky, a man with short blue hair, bronze skin, and a tall muscular build slowly descended from the sky, landing behind Zuoben and Mengxi.
The man’s identity was self-evident, given his qualification to enter the Prime Minister’s residence and pass through the terrifying gravity protection barrier. He was none other than Haiying, the current Wing of Loyalty among the Church’s Six Wings.
After arriving in the courtyard, Haiying knelt on one knee without a word, paying the highest respect to Mengxi and Zuoben.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister."
Faced with Haiying’s greeting, Mengxi remained as expressionless as before and gave no response, while Zuoben smiled slightly, looking at Haiying with friendly and trusting eyes.
"Haiying? What’s the matter, coming here suddenly."
Although he was somewhat displeased by the other’s arrival, Zuoben still pretended to be enthusiastic, smiling to welcome the other’s arrival.
On the other side, Haiying didn’t engage in boring official pleasantries, but directly got to the point:
"Prime Minister, the powerful energy that just erupted in the Prayer Plaza, along with the dense Shadow Power that leaked out, has thrown the Holy Capital into chaos. Most of the citizens are uneasy, even becoming agitated. So, I thought, to request Your Majesty to visit the Central Cathedral to comfort the frightened citizens. Otherwise, the Holy Capital will remain in fear."
"You’re still so concerned about the citizens, Haiying. Truly worthy of being a Wing of the Church. However, Her Majesty needs rest now and cannot go to the Cathedral for the time being. But don’t worry, I will go in Her Majesty’s place to comfort the citizens later. Haiying, you may withdraw now, don’t disturb Her Majesty’s rest."
Obviously,
Zuoben was trying to send away this somewhat inconvenient Wing of the Church.
However, Haiying didn’t leave promptly as Zuoben had hoped, but instead shifted his gaze somewhat hesitantly.
"Um, Prime Minister, Your Majesty, I have one more urgent matter to report."
"An urgent matter? What is it?"
Zuoben frowned slightly in confusion.
What else could it be at this critical moment?
"Speak directly, Haiying."
"Yes, Prime Minister. Just now, the lord of Sky City, Miss Asar, arrived in Vinati. She, she wants to pay a visit to you, Prime Minister."
"A visit? Asar?"
Why did she suddenly come to visit?
"I don’t have time now, just tell her..."
"My apologize, Prime Minister, I took the liberty of bringing her here already."
"What?"
Hearing this answer, Zuoben frowned in displeasure, his gaze towards Haiying becoming increasingly sharp and cold. After all, what Zuoben hated most were subordinates who didn’t listen and liked to act on their own.
On the other side, Seemingly hearing the displeasure in Zuoben’s tone, Haiying hurriedly lowered his head, saying apologetically:
"I’m very sorry, Prime Minister. I know it was wrong to do this, I shouldn’t have brought an outsider here without permission. But, but Miss Asar brought very important news, I felt it must be reported to Your Majesty and you, Prime Minister, immediately!"
"Hmm? What important news?"
"It’s, it’s that, Sky City has defeated the Black Rose family, and destroyed the Black Rose family’s stronghold Sabelius with the Divine Cannon!!! Not only that, Asar has also captured that Black Rose Duke and is preparing to present him to Your Majesty!!!"
"WHAT!!!?"
