Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 989 : Strange

Above the ruins of Vinati, a figure wrapped in gray magical power was swiftly passing over the broken walls and rubble.

This figure was naturally Xiao Black Rose, who had just regained a considerable amount of power.

Following Yumo’s instructions, Xiao was on his way to find Mengxi.

While rushing, Xiao made contact with Youlan in the Northern Territories and informed her of the current situation.

Youlan was visibly taken aback after hearing Xiao. Her words filled with surprise, reached Xiao’s ears:

"It ended in such a way?"

"Yes, I’m also surprised. In some aspects, that demon goddess resembles a child.

"A child? Then Mother certainly had a special effect."

"Indeed."

Xiao nodded slightly without comment. Then he asked with a concerned tone:

"Lady Youlan, how are things on your end now? That demon goddess’s avatar should be gone, right?"

"Yes, it disappeared. To be honest, if that avatar had lasted a few more minutes, we might not have existed anymore."

Glancing at her lost half-body and the vast plains of the death land, Youlan replied noncommittally.

"Sigh, it seems we still underestimated the power of the ninth level."

"Yes... By the way, are Lady Kalina and the others alright?"

"Nana, Pipi, and Yuan’er are fine, just a bit drained of power. That girl Shuoyue was knocked unconscious, but her soul is still strong, so it’s not a big problem."

"That’s good."

Xiao let out a sigh of relief. If his miscalculation had led to any mishap with the little ones, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to Yumo.

"Xiao."

"Yes?"

"Do you really think it’s over?"

"Lady Youlan, what do you mean? Is that demon goddess pretending?"

"Not exactly. I just feel... it’s too smooth, something doesn’t seem quite right."

Xiao nodded slightly in response to Youlan’s concerns.

"Sigh, I actually have the same feeling. But the soul contract has collapsed, and the demon goddess seems harmless. Even if there’s something else, it probably won’t cause much trouble."

"Let’s hope so."

"I have to go now. I need to hurry over and check on the Girl of Destiny."

"Alright, I understand."

...

...

Meanwhile, as Xiao was rushing to Mengxi’s location, Yumo was still sitting quietly on the ruins, interacting with a group of kittens and one ’big cat’~

"Hey, hey, eat slowly, no one’s going to snatch it from you."

Yumo said with a helpless expression.

At this moment, the demon goddess named Eos was lying on Yumo’s lap, happily hugging a sandwich and nibbling on it with relish. Although this girl felt like a cat when she snuggled against Yumo, when she gnawed on the sandwich, Yumo vaguely felt like she had a big hamster lying in her arms.

A very gluttonous hamster.

Seeing that another sandwich was devoured in a few seconds, Yumo smiled wryly and took out another sandwich from her space ring, handing it to Eos.

After all, if she didn’t give her one, Eos would probably try to snatch food from the nearby cats in the next second.

An Abyssal Lord fighting with cats over food?

Yumo didn’t want to see such a ridiculous scene.

Moreover, if she didn’t continue feeding her, Eos might continue licking the bread crumbs left on her thighs like before... This situation seemed even harder for Yumo to accept.

"Are you really an Abyssal Lord?"

Raising her hand to gently stroke Eos’s head, Yumo tilted her head in puzzlement.

Rather than saying the short-haired girl in her arms was a world-destroying demon goddess, Yumo felt she was more like a gluttonous and clingy cat.

The continent back then? It was almost destroyed by this little one?... I think like the people who died back then were a bit harsh on her…

Just as Yumo was showing a conflicted expression, the short-haired girl gradually crawled up from her lap, seemingly having had enough of snuggling against Yumo’s body. Seeing the little girl’s movement, Yumo paused her thoughts and looked at her in confusion:

"What’s wrong, Eos?"

Faced with Yumo’s question, Eos, like the previous times, just tilted her head blankly, without directly answering her question.

Not knowing exactly what was going on in Eos’s head, Yumo could only quietly watch her, waiting for her subsequent reaction.

After Eos tilted her head and pondered for a few seconds,

This little girl blinked her watery big eyes and looked at Yumo with an expectant gaze:

"Play, play game!"

"Game?"

Yumo blinked her eyes in confusion, but still very cooperatively raised her hand to rub the other’s head.

After all, At this moment, Yumo’s most important task was to appease this little girl.

"Well then, what game does Eos want to play?"

"The game Yumo and Mengxi played last night!!!"

"Huh? Last night? I didn’t play... with Mengxi last night... Hm??? !!!"

Seeming to realize something, Yumo’s face instantly turned red, and she immediately shook her head awkwardly:

"That, that... it’s not a game... We can’t play that..."

"Can’t?"

After being directly refused, the smile on Eos’s face slowly faded, and she tilted her head innocently:

"But you and Mengxi were playing so happily? Why, why can’t I?"

Facing Eos’s pure and innocent gaze, which was slightly tinged with disappointment, Yumo instantly felt her heart being struck.

Yumo began to feel a peculiar sense of self-reproach.

It felt like, She had somehow, Corrupted a little girl...

Feeling inexplicably guilty, Yumo could only explain with a wry smile:

"That ga-game isn’t fun... It’s really boring, ahaha… E.. Eos should believe me! That game is really not interesting!"

"Re-really?"

"Really Really!"

Saying this, seemingly to change the subject, Yumo directly grabbed a small calico cat from nearby and waved it in front of Eos: "Rather than playing that kind of game, isn’t it better to play with kitties? Look, aren’t kitties so cute?"

While smilingly appeasing, Yumo raised the cat’s chubby little paw and waved it at Eos.

In fact, using kittens to divert attention proved to be a good idea.

Soon, Eos happily took the kitten from Yumo’s hands and started playing with it, temporarily giving up on asking about the ’game’.

"Phew~"

Seeing this, Yumo let out a long sigh.

As she sighed, the look in Yumo’s eyes towards Eos increasingly carried a thick strand of suspicion.

This girl, Is she really a demon goddess?

If it weren’t for the fact that she could sense the terrifying energy within her that was no weaker than her own, Yumo might have directly treated her as a harmless little wild cat.

Could it be that after being sealed for over three thousand years, her brain has gone silly? Otherwise, how could someone like this possibly destroy a continent?

Yumo speculated inwardly.

However, soon, another voice from within her mind denied her speculation.

——"Hmm, she might have always been this personality."——

In the small room of the consciousness space, Momo, sitting cross-legged in front of the computer desk,

Hm?

Hearing Momo’s words, Miss Yumo immediately frowned and asked inwardly in confusion.

"Just this personality? Why do you say that? Didn’t you say before that the Abyssal Lord was either a scheming and insidious person or a madman controlled by instincts? Eos doesn’t seem like either at all? She not only looks not very smart, but also doesn’t seem to be controlled by instincts, right?"

Although Yumo’s body had accepted the inherited power of the Abyssal Lord, she didn’t acquire the knowledge of the inheritance. Unlike Yumo, Momo, the other personality more influenced by the Shadow Power, actually obtained the knowledge from the inheritance.

However,

It was only a part of it.

Faced with Yumo’s questioning, Momo spread her hands innocently and shrugged:

"The memory inheritance I received is also incomplete, okay? It’s only after hearing this girl’s name that I vaguely recalled some things, okay?"

Saying this, Momo raised her hand to press against her temple, starting to dig out the knowledge that was faintly present in her mind.

"Then, what’s the background of this girl? Is she really an Abyssal Lord?"

"Well, although she doesn’t look like it, she really is an Abyssal Lord. The Demon goddess of Falsehood and Change... She’s quite a special existence among those Abyssal Lords."

"Special?"

"Yes, she doesn’t have much of her own consciousness, basically acting on the orders of her contract holder. In the past, the reason she fought with the goddess was apparently also due to her contract master’s orders."

"Following her master’s orders?"

"Yes. No matter who the master is, as long as they sign a soul contract with her, she will absolutely obey them and follow their orders. Whatever the order is, she will do it."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Yumo, who was interacting and playing with Eos and the kittens, suddenly frowned, a strange light flashing in her crimson eyes.

"Wait? Absolute obedience? But, but didn’t Eos directly ignore Tania’s orders earlier? She even actively dissolved the soul contract? What kind of absolute obedience is this?"

"Hmm, so I feel like something’s not quite right."
