Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 990 - : Holy Cross

"I feel like something’s not right..."

Leaning on the computer desk, Momo voiced her thoughts while intently watching the screen, observing the short-haired girl leaning on Yumo.

"Not right?"

Momo’s words made Yumo furrow her brow.

The Abyssal Lord, who was supposed to absolutely obey her master’s orders like a puppet, had disobeyed her master’s command after meeting Yumo, and even unilaterally terminated the soul contract with her master.

Originally, Yumo thought it was because Tania’s power was too insignificant to control this demon goddess.

But if what Momo said was true, regardless of Tania’s strength, as long as she signed a soul contract with Eos, she should be able to control her!

So why then?

Wait, don’t tell me that she...

While stroking the little girl’s head, Yumo pondered seriously:

"Could it be that Eos, after being sealed for over three thousand years, developed her own consciousness? Unwilling to be a puppet manipulated by others?"

Tools developing consciousness and breaking free from their master’s control - this kind of plot was quite common in the novels Yumo knew.

Of course, if Eos had truly developed self-awareness and thus rebelled against Tania, Yumo would naturally be pleased to see it.

But, if it wasn’t for this reason...

Suddenly, an unsettling guess arose in Yumo’s mind, making her shudder.

Is it possible that Tania wasn’t Eos’s soul contractor?! That’s why even with her desperate roars, she couldn’t control Eos’s actions. Could Eos’s soul contractor be someone else?!

Looking at the lovely girl in her arms, Yumo couldn’t help but swallow.

"Momo, do you think it’s possible that Eos’s contractor isn’t Tania?"

"Hmm, I have that feeling... This kind of pure girl, like a doll, even if she developed self-awareness, shouldn’t change her past behavioral instincts. It’s unlikely she would disobey her master’s orders."

Crossing her arms, Momo expressed her guess with a serious expression.

As these words reached her ears, Yumo’s expression became verry grave.

"If there really is someone else, then... who could it be?"

A huge question suddenly rushed into Yumo’s mind.

Her recently relaxed state of mind tensed up again, and an ominous feeling began to spread wildly in her heart.

Yumo bit her lip, quickly pondering this question.

However, reality didn’t seem to give Yumo more time to think.

The next instant,

Boom!

Behind her, without warning, a pillar of white-gold energy suddenly rose from the distant wilderness, shooting straight into the sky!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a vast and boundless energy wave suddenly spread rapidly in all directions with the light pillar as its center!

In an instant, it enveloped the entire Holy City of Vinati. The peace that had just returned was mercilessly shattered at this moment. Many ordinary Vinati residents who had just regained consciousness from their fainting spells passed out again due to this power wave. Those with insufficient strength even had their souls shattered, falling to the ground motionless.

The entire city seemed to be falling apart under the impact.

Even the surrounding space began to distort.

This wave of energy cleansing was incomparable to the previous merciless waves.

In the face of this impact, not only the ordinary citizens but even Yumo herself trembled and her expression changed drastically when she felt this wave.

"What happened?!"

Feeling this impact, Yumo could no longer sit still. Ignoring Eos who was cuddling on her lap, Yumo suddenly stood up, looking at the pillar of light shooting into the sky with a shocked expression.

And under Yumo’s astonished gaze, the power of the light pillar further expanded and began to distort, gradually transforming into a majestic, giant energy cross.

This power felt unfamiliar to Yumo.

But one thing she was certain of was that this power was divine power!

However, although it was divine power, it wasn’t the kind of divine power Yumo had felt from Mengxi before. It lacked that gentle and holy atmosphere, and was instead purely mighty... emanating a kind of pure violence.

An overwhelming violence that chilled one to the bone.

Although this divine power didn’t make her feel as repulsed as the Goddess’s power, this sudden unfamiliar force undoubtedly made Yumo feel uneasy.

This power?

What’s going on?

Where did it come from?

And, this power level? Could it be...?!

Wait,

That position just now? Isn’t that where Mengxi was?!

"Not good..."

All at once, a bad feeling suddenly arose and spread in Yumo’s heart, causing her face to drop to freezing point.

The next moment, Yumo quickly squatted down, held Eos’s shoulders, and looking at this confused Abyssal girl in front of her, Yumo said seriously:

"Stay here quietly and wait for me, Okay?"

"Umm?"

Eos seemed to not quite understand what was happening, but she apparently realized that her companion was about to leave her, and immediately reluctantly reached out to grab Yumo’s skirt.

Unfortunately, Yumo no longer had the patience to continue accompanying Eos or explaining to her.

"Stay here and don’t make trouble! I’ll give you something delicious to eat when I come back! Did you hear me?"

"No... don’t..."

Obviously, Eos didn’t want Yumo to leave. Having just met a companion, she didn’t want to part so quickly.

"Really, be a good girl!"

Ignoring Eos’s pitiful little eyes, Yumo directly waved away Eos’s little hand.

"Wait for me here, don’t run around!"

After giving this final instruction, Yumo quickly stood up and, surrounded by a swarm of bloody butterflies, flew towards the spot where the white-gold light had erupted.

In the blink of an eye, Yumo’s presence disappeared from this world, leaving only Eos alone, pitifully kneeling in place.

Then, The short-haired girl, like a pet abandoned by its owner, dejectedly lowered her hand and bowed her head, her body emanating a desolate atmosphere.

꒰(˶◞ ‸ ◟˶)꒱

Just as Eos was making a pitiful whimper, a strange signal suddenly came from afar, directly entering her mind.

In an instant, the demon goddess’s body trembled.

The resentful whimpering stopped abruptly, And the desolate atmosphere around her suddenly collapsed.

An indescribable cold aura began to spread around her instead.

The next moment, When Eos raised her head again, her eyes no longer held the innocence she had when being affectionate with Yumo earlier, but had completely changed, becoming hollow and silent. Not only that, but a murderous intent capable of freezing souls and suffocating people gradually overflowed from her pale, soulless eyes.

Staring in the direction where Yumo had disappeared, the demon goddess mechanically spoke:

"Companion, also enemy... Enemy... Must... Eliminate..."
