Chapter 47
At this time, the little doll was playing with a ball of wool on the table, occasionally grinning at the small mirror, touching the bow on its head with its paws, and then rolling around on the table, looking very satisfied, and meowing from time to time.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly. The front desk of the bookstore was just one meter away from the door. His playing posture was occasionally seen by passers-by, attracting some envious and jealous looks.
"Wow, the bookstore owner's cat is so cute. I really want to pet it."
"So cute, is he helping his owner look after the store? What a sensible cat, unlike my cat who ignores me every day... I am crying."
"It seems like there is more than one. The owner of this bookstore has many cats. Do they take turns to look after the store? My God, they are so sensible. I also want a cat that can look after the store!"
Occasionally, customers would come to the bookstore just to see the cats.
Beautiful and cute cats heal people's hearts!
But unfortunately, the cats are not very friendly to guests.
Cats are cute, but a glance from them can give them a chill. They often come to their senses and hide behind the bookshelf, or have already paid and walked out with books in their hands that they have never even turned a page.
Although I spent money for no apparent reason, I somehow felt it was worth it. It is truly an incredible bookstore.
Passersby walked and stopped contentedly.
After a while, the sunlight slanted a little.
The little doll suddenly sat up, its blue eyes looking vigilantly in a certain direction in the sky, with a somewhat nervous expression.
At the same time, the gray cat walked out of the void and also felt the breath of Malbus.
The gray cat scratched his head and said to the little ragdoll cat, "I almost forgot that Malbus was very opposed to my suggestion at the beginning. He heard the news about the 'Lord of the Abyss' in recent days and probably thought he was a fake. He was so angry that he came to settle accounts with us."
The little puppet seemed to dislike the always-glittering Malbus, and said coldly: "I just don't want Him to know."
The gray cat was curious, "Why?"
The little puppet snorted, "This guy Malbus is too stingy. I asked him to give me money to buy herbs, but he refused. He is obviously so rich, so what's wrong with giving me some?"
He slammed the table hard to express his strong dissatisfaction and anger.
The gray cat's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that it would be wrong not to give it to you. You refine medicine every day, and no amount of money would be enough to make it.
But Malbus really loves money. He doesn't give money to anyone who asks for it. Logically, he is already the richest man in the world, so what's wrong with giving money to his compatriots? But he doesn't give any red envelopes at all, and he doesn't care about the fraternity at all. Not only that, he doesn't spend much money himself, and his only interest is to build gold and silver palaces.
Putting all that aside, Marbas's personality is also a bit... difficult to get along with. He is sharp-tongued, gloomy, and depressed, which is different from Beelzebub's cold personality. Beelzebub is extremely aggressive and creepy. Marbas is introverted, extremely repulsive to the outside world, taciturn, and likes to be alone with a demon. Once he speaks, it is an intolerable violent statement.
It is said that Malbus often fights with his compatriots because he lacks patience and feels that other compatriots cannot understand him or keep up with his pace.
When he gets angry, he will fight. Only Agares can calm him down. He even dares to fight with Baal, although he will end up being beaten by Baal.
According to Persian memory, Marbas was very stubborn and refused to admit defeat. Even after losing thousands of times, he still wanted to compete with Bal. In a sense, this also showed his strong will.
You know, after many gods in heaven were defeated by Baal, even if they were reborn later, they would be extremely afraid of Baal. It seemed that the fact of "fearing the demon Baal" had been embedded in their DNA and became an important survival information. They must remember it deep in their godhood.
God knows how Bal inflicted psychological trauma on those war perverts. It's possible... that the method was even more perverted than perversion.
Ouch! You're thinking too far ahead!
The gray cat shook his head and asked the ragdoll cat: "Are you hiding from Malbus?"
The ragdoll cat confidently put his hands on his hips, and his little bow trembled, "With us following him, he won't be able to find his father!"
Gray Cat thought, you are not good at concealment magic at all? Even so, I have to bear all the consequences. Malbus's information search magic is not so easy to resist.
Seeing his gloomy face, the little puppet slowly approached him, flicked his claws on the gray cat's forehead, and said with a smile: "You can do it, because you are my trusted brother!"
The gray cat was stunned, as if he was really encouraged. He looked into the eyes of the little puppet, curled his lips and said, "Of course I can do it. I am the most powerful magician in the world!"
The little puppet laughed and said, "Although it's self-proclaimed."
The gray cat glared at him and really started to work in secret.
The little puppet was very pleased.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that Impos has forgotten Moragos in the Warp.
Poor Moragos, he searched in the warp for a long time but couldn't find Eliog and Beelzebub at all. I don't know how many times he complained in his heart, and sometimes he would shoot flying stars in anger.
At this moment, Moragos was shouting in the warp: "Eriorg, Beelzebub, where are you two? Where did you get lost? Have you been eaten?"
"Hey! Answer me now!"
It seemed like He would have to search for a long time, but He had no idea that the demon He was looking for had already returned to the world.
In the warp, several compatriots were watching His actions, wondering what He was doing and why He was looking for Eliog and Beelzebub.
"Moragus is so strange. Is he looking for Eliog and Beelzebub to return to the mainland? But they have already returned."
"Strange, they must be hiding something."
"Yes, I remember that there was someone on earth who called himself the Lord of the Abyss. How could he pretend to be our father?"
"Is Agares still dreaming?"
"It seems not yet. I can't contact my second brother at all."
In broad daylight on the mainland, several stars are twinkling.
There was another commotion in the magic tower of Oedipus Imperial City.
"Goddess of Peace, why is even the Lord of the Abyss, Malbus, here?"
The magician in charge of observation almost collapsed.
"Has our Imperial City attracted many Abyss Lords in recent days? Why do they come one after another?"
"Because the Lord of the Abyss has come?"
"Ah! Forget it, forget it. Let's listen to the Prime Minister. They are not here to cause trouble to humans. Let's just pretend nothing happened. How about that?"
After a discussion, everyone concluded that there was no conclusion and the matter was once again passed to the top management.
It is impossible for the high-ranking families to conflict with the Lord of the Abyss. As for the royal family... they don't even have the ability to conflict.
The king was too young and incompetent, and the old ministers would not submit to him.
The old man in the tower said bluntly, "Just get used to the Abyss Lord's affairs, don't make a fuss. Besides, Malbus is not a big risk. According to historical records, he often clashes with other Abyss Lords. He doesn't care about humans at all. There have been few of his contractors in the past 8,000 years. He will probably leave after a while. Everyone should do what they should do."
When the young magicians heard this, they looked at each other and exchanged glances, as if they were not quite used to this mode.
-
at the same time.
The Mal Bus Station is on the top floor of the church.
He has a tall stature and handsome features, with long golden hair that falls like bird feathers. His deep green eyes are scanning the entire city, revealing a frightening cold light.
His image was so prominent and beautiful that he looked like a painting. He appeared in broad daylight as if no one was around, which frightened the humans below. They didn’t know whether to run or not, and could only stare at Him in shock.
There were a few old men who seemed to be doing what they were supposed to do as if nothing had happened.
For a long time, Malbus remained motionless, solemn and dignified, like a religious sculpture.
People just walk by, they are afraid, and when they see nothing happens, they just walk by normally?
Because it seems like nothing will happen...
A few minutes later, Malbus suddenly burst into laughter and said angrily, "Inbosi, you still dare to hide from me? I must catch you!"
The Lord of the Abyss is an identity that Agares specially designed for his father. It is not something you can play with casually!
Malbus's magic power erupted again, and this time it not only covered the entire imperial city in space, but also brought in "control" and "domination"!
As the pressure on Persia doubled, their fighting spirit was at full steam.
Confrontation, right? I won’t lose!
-
Meanwhile, in the back room of the bookstore.
As if sensing something, Hughes glanced outside.
The sun was shining and the sky was blue, but there was a faint noise and I couldn't tell what it was making.
“…”
What happened outside?
Xius thought for a moment, turned back and looked at the children who were sleeping soundly on the bed.
What happens outside is none of his business, his next task is to take care of his own children.
"Come to think of it, Moragos was very lively before, how come he has become sleepy?"
Hughes picked up the red cat and casually made a cat hair comb, preparing to comb the loose hair of his children.
He had never raised a cat before, but he had heard that there were some requirements for combing cat hair. The density of the hair and the elasticity of the teeth were very important. As the father of many cats, he definitely needed a cat comb that suited his needs.
If the shape of the comb is not well designed, it will not comb the hair well, and it will not be able to comb out things mixed in the hair, which are all major deductions.
On the other hand, it is also important to comb your cat comfortably.
Combing your hair is also a form of massage.
As a beginner in this area, Hughes naturally had to pay more attention. In addition, he found that his child didn't pay much attention to his hair, and when he rolled around in his sleep, it was easy for him to get lint on his hair, making it look messy.
Short-haired cats are okay, but long-haired cats are a bit... non-mainstream.
Just be careful to comb it.
It took Hughes half an hour to finally design a comb that felt good, and he tried combing the white cat first.
The white cat was sleeping quietly, but after combing itself for a few minutes, it began to snoring comfortably.
This shows that the design of the comb is a great success! It also has massage effect, which is great.
Seuss combed the hair excitedly and even modeled a pair of small scissors, acting as Tony's teacher for his own child.
Hair cutting is a very risky thing, and if you are not careful it will affect the appearance.
But Hughes was a modeler after all, so he learned quickly. After cutting the patterns, he even made some accessories for his own children.
In a sense, Boyer's love of dressing up may have been inherited from him.
He combed the children's fur with great interest, looked out at the warm sunshine, and built a replica of the cat's bed.
The long cat basket holds the cubs, allowing them to bask in the sun and perform photosynthesis.
Sometimes Xiu Si feels that there are too many family members and he has no time to take care of them, but after all, he has to love the children he created with his own hands.
Ha ha.
During this process, the two birds also woke up. They watched the movement outside, blinking their big eyes, and took the initiative to run out to bask in the sun.
By the way, the little black bird sensed the movement of Malbus and thought to himself what a scary guy he was. He was ranked fifth among the Lords of the Abyss, which meant...his fifth brother?
The little black bird suddenly became a little excited.
He had heard of Malbus, but didn't know much about him before. Only recently did he find out that his fifth brother was incredible and extremely rich. Not only was he rich enough to rival a country, most of the gold and silver mines on the continent were his private demon wealth!
The little black bird was almost drooling. As the God of the Underworld, he should not be short of money. But when it comes to money, who wouldn't want less?
The little black bird had an evil idea, secretly thinking, if he told Malbus that his father was here, would it be good? But as a price, if he was exposed, he would definitely be torn to pieces by the other guys.
The little black bird fantasized in his mind, then shook his head and thought, forget it. Money is valuable, but a bird’s life is more valuable!
The little white bird glanced at him, ignored him, and ran to help his father tidy up the cat bed.
He is only mean to the little black bird. He is usually obedient and docile. No one around him will be dissatisfied with the temperature.
It was also under the influence of Zeus that He gradually developed a love for caring for all things.
He would occasionally take care of the little light body in the box next door, and use His growing divine power to help the little light body sleep well.
There is actually not much difference between God’s babies and human babies. They both need good sleep and adequate nutrition to grow up well.
The little white bird thought that the little light body had been crying non-stop because it was too uneasy. This little guy was afraid of his father, and his father was indeed terrible. He didn't know how to take care of children at all, which scared the little guy so much that he kept crying for hundreds of years.
The divinity of the gods from other worlds is different from theirs. They are used to the law of the jungle in the subspace, and they are full of martial virtues. How can they understand gentleness? More than half of them are prone to madness, and it is considered rational for them not to eat their children.
Although the little white bird was born not long ago, it knows a little about the existence of gods through the knowledge inherited from the divine nature.
He felt that the little light body was His little sister and He must protect it well, especially not letting it be contaminated by that black thing!
Hughes spent the entire afternoon taking care of the children, until around 5 o'clock when he finally had some free time. He wondered if the children would like to drink milk.
Just then, the system sounded.
【Congratulations on getting 500 achievement points! 】
Zeus was so shocked that he immediately sat up and looked to the right. His level had risen to level 31!
The fastest upgrade speed in life!
Hughes was inevitably excited, and after a closer look, he discovered that he had unlocked several new skills. They seemed useless, just some tools to facilitate modeling and upgrades to the calculation system, but at least there were more skills.
He practiced for a while, then wrote some magic, hoping to be ready to go to the Magicians' Guild before 5:30.
Gray Cat knew what Hughes was going to do and was almost frightened. Malbus was outside, and if he went out, there was a big risk of being discovered!
However, the little puppet didn't care.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. Even Malbus could not have imagined that they would walk around the streets openly!
The little puppet objects to interfering with his father's daily actions. A child who is willful every day is a bad child!
The gray cat was a little speechless.
Their sister Bu's ideas are always bold, although in the end she still has to bear the consequences.
But no matter what they thought, Zeus had already packed up and left.
Ah, Father, wait for us!
-
Around 5:40, on a street somewhere in the imperial city.
"The Imperial City is really lively these days."
"There have been so many things going on during this period. It feels like all the major events of the past decade have been concentrated in these few days. Do you feel like you have witnessed history?"
"But is our empire really ranked first among humans? Did the Hammurabi Empire catch up with the God of Ranking? I really want to know the result."
"It can't be that the ranking is wrong."
Some union members were chatting on the street.
Suddenly, one of them widened his eyes, turned around anxiously, and chased the back of a young man who passed by.
The young man had rare black hair and blue eyes. He was dressed luxuriously and had an elegant temperament. He was holding a few books in his hands and seemed to be wearing glasses.
Is it a magician? The passerby was puzzled, and after a closer look, he saw that the direction the other person was heading to was exactly the direction of the Magician Association.
"That kind of temperament can only be attributed to a magician."
Someone beside him said.
“…I don’t think it’s very human.”
"Elf?"
“No.”
-
The other party.
In the basement of the Dawn Church, there were dead bodies scattered everywhere and blood was everywhere.
Human screams and cries for help echoed throughout the basement.
The young man who caused the whole tragic situation in the world had a calm expression and looked at the bishop hanging in the air as if nothing had happened.
Beelzebub said calmly, "So, what god do you serve?"
The bishop was covered in blood, with disheveled hair, and had been tortured beyond recognition. No one knew what kind of horrible torture he had gone through. There was only fear and despair in his eyes.
He said hoarsely, "I don't know... I don't know anything. I've already told you that I believe in the Goddess of Harmony."
Beelzebub said bluntly: "You believe in the goddess of harmony, but you do evil things. You use your status as a bishop to commit adultery and murder many people. Do you think... this is justified?"
Beelzebub seemed to know the Goddess of Peace and what faith in her should be like.
The bishop was scared to death, but he really didn't know what Beelzebub was asking.
What kind of plot was set up to murder the hero? Aren't the heroes missing or dead? How could they murder him? He was just a small bishop, he knew nothing.
Beelzebub certainly knew that he didn't know who was behind it, but that didn't mean he really knew nothing.
Beelzebub was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Who is the most active and least active god in your church?"
The bishop was stunned for a moment and didn't understand the question, but he still answered honestly.
"The goddess of virtue and fortune."
These two gods were on Beelzebub's exclusion list.
The reason is that Agares had already checked it out. As the name suggests, the goddess of virtue is the deification of the concept of virtue. Although luck always makes trouble, it can't come up with any conspiracy.
As for the goddess of harmony that the bishop claimed to believe in... She had ambitions, strategies, and actions, but Beelzebub thought it was impossible, or the possibility was extremely low.
Because, the brave team received a lot of help from him back then.
When the heroes were still weak, it was He who protected and trained them all the way.
It can be said that without the Goddess of Peace, there would be no heroic savior later.
Would you train heroes while trying to kill them? If the Goddess of Peace was behind this, the whole thing would be ridiculous.
Beelzebub frowned and continued to think.
What's interesting is that the goddess of harmony has also disappeared. It seems that she had some conflict with the alien god number 003 about a few decades ago, and she has not appeared since then. The reason for the disappearance of the heroes is very consistent, and they are all related to the alien god.
If the mastermind behind this is a god from another world, Beelzebub thinks it is more likely.
But this is too hard to find.
Because there are too many gods in the subspace, just like the stars, countless, and looking for the mastermind behind the scenes is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
That guy is too secretive. He doesn't leave any clues when doing anything. Not only is his purpose unclear, but his methods are also unclear, so there is no way to investigate him at all.
But Beelzebub did not think that the mastermind behind this was a powerful god, but rather a weak god.
Because they are weak, they have to engage in conspiracies and tricks, and dare not speak out or leave any clues.
Especially in the matter of the memory beast. If that guy is strong enough, it is impossible for the news to leak out and let people find out that the "hero" is a memory beast.
As if he was profiling the mastermind's thoughts, Beelzebub suddenly put himself in his shoes and said to himself, "I failed to kill that hero twice. I don't understand why. I suspect that the hero has a destiny and will not die easily, but I will not give up, because I must kill him. Only when he dies and all the heroes die, can I achieve my goal."
Then, Beelzebub touched his chin and continued to talk to himself: "Where did that hero go in the past eight thousand years? I felt that he was still in the abyss, but I couldn't find him. What? Should I give up? No, I won't give up. I created a human identity called "Priest Xilin". As an adventurer, Xilin Shrine often explores the abyss. If I find the hero by coincidence one day, it must not be a strange thing, right?"
"I have successfully found the hero, but I am afraid of repeating the same mistake. I will just observe him and let him live in my antique shop."
Beelzebub stopped at this point in the profile.
Because it's stuck at a point.
——How much does the mastermind behind this know about them?
Did He know that they were created by that brave man? If so, why did He let his father go?
Once my father gets in touch with them, he will have no chance to kill him.
Beelzebub fell into deep thought about this.
A few minutes later, Beelzebub suddenly thought of something.
On the day they came out of the abyss, Agares emphasized one thing to them, contrary to his usual behavior.
——"Don't reveal that we are the creations of the brave."
Agares' suggestion was immediately opposed by Bal.
When they came into the world, they naturally wanted to spread their names and tell the world that they were created by the brave Zeus.
How can it not be exposed? It's inexplicable.
Agares's suggestion sounded strange.
But Agares did not explain and let them understand.
Agares is often like this, like a riddle demon, probably because he finds it difficult to speak and thinks they can understand just one or two sentences.
At that time... they were also confused at first, but later they understood different meanings.
For example, He thought at the time that this was to protect His father.
Because think about it, if the whole world knew that a human created them, and this creator is still missing.
So, what will happen?
The answer is that the whole world would want to find the missing father and then control the father, because controlling the father means controlling Them.
This was a very reasonable statement. It was made by Samkina at the time and convinced Bal and most of his compatriots on the spot.
Therefore, they did not reveal their true identities later on, and even deliberately confused people.
Beelzebub thought that Agares said that at the time, perhaps not only to protect his father, but also to confuse the mastermind and make him unaware of their relationship with his father.
But thinking about this, another question arises.
Back then, the mastermind also attacked my father in the abyss, when more than twenty of them were present.
If the mastermind was right there, how could he not know their relationship with my father?
Could it be that He was not present and did it through some other means?
Ah, wait, why is my train of thought stuck again?
There are so many mysteries. Beelzebub feels that although the mastermind behind the scenes is meticulous and cautious, he must have encountered many obstacles and made many mistakes, which is why the plan is half exposed and half not, and gets stuck everywhere.
“That’s not surprising.”
Beelzebub's thinking is more realistic. He would not imagine the mastermind behind the scenes to be a perverted god who can cover the sky with one hand and has perfect ideas, perfect means, and can commit perfect crimes.
Many people like to think so, and assume that the mastermind behind the scenes is very powerful and invincible, but the final truth is jaw-dropping.
Beelzebub has learned a lot of experience over the years.
If the criminal himself is imperfect, the more you try to make him perfect, the more you will become obsessed with it and will not be able to figure out the real culprit.
At this time, there must be something wrong with your thinking, and you need to change your thinking.
However, Beelzebub remained silent for half an hour, still stuck in insufficient information.
"Forget it. If you can't figure it out, just look for new information. It's a simple thing."
Hearing His words, the bishop opposite him looked horrified.
"Please don't leave."
The bishop couldn't help but roar, his desire to survive surpassed everything.
"I just killed a few people. My sin is not serious enough to warrant death. Don't kill me. Don't kill me—"
As expected, after Beelzebub thought that this place was useless, he disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a white light engulfed the church, swallowing and distorting everything.
The bishop and his sins were instantly destroyed.
-
The other side.
Eliog quietly came to the Oss Empire History Research Museum.
The historians kept their word and have been busy writing history these days.
The appearance of the true form of the "Lord of the Abyss" seemed to have given team leader Helen inspiration and made her figure out a lot of things.
Eliog hid behind the bookshelf, watching them think, discuss and write.
His green eyes sparkled in the darkness like a pair of emeralds.
If those people were not so tired and looked back a little, they would probably have discovered Him.
This was obviously not the first time that Eliog had watched over humans like this, and it seemed as if he was very used to it.
The clock struck 6pm.
The other researchers had gone out for lunch, but Helen was still thinking.
She flipped through the notes on the table, over and over again, and wrote them down again and again, overturning them many times, and the tip of her pen smudged with ink on the paper.
The museum was silent, and she was in deep thought. After a few minutes, she began to talk to herself.
"If all the Abyss Lords were created by the same person, everything would make sense."
"Wait, so the creator of the Abyss Monarch, the Lord of the Abyss, is a human?"
Helen was suddenly horrified, as if she had discovered a very secret and horrifying historical truth.
——"Once upon a time, a human created the Abyss Monarch in the Abyss."
This sentence was easy to write, but when you look at it carefully, it is so thrilling that Helen was so frightened that she broke into cold sweats and her mind was completely confused.
"Humanity is in the abyss..."
More than twenty Abyss Lords were created.
Just ask yourself, how powerful and great must a human being be to accomplish such a feat?
You know, the Demon Age is called the Demon Age because it is almost dominated by the Lord of the Abyss.
And if, behind the scenes, these abyss lords all submit to one person, they are the creation of one person.
Doesn't that mean that person dominated the entire era by himself? That's more than 6,000 years of history!
Helen read all the history books, what stories of heroes had she not read? However, none of them were as shocking as this moment.
If such a human being really existed, then his power would absolutely be unprecedented in history!
It has never happened in history and will never happen in the future!
Helen's scalp was tingling. She couldn't even imagine it. The hand holding the pen was shaking violently.
Lord of the Abyss, who is this person and how did he do it?
Has there ever been such a great man in history, but his name has never been recorded?
Helen was trembling all over and her pupils were dilating violently.
She couldn't calm down for a long time, her soul was in a trance and her eyes were dull.
"I have to remember this. I have to write down that history. There was once a man in the abyss who personally created the Abyss Monarch. However, the whole world does not know that man's name!"
She wrote quickly, the ink flying around in her excitement, and for a moment the only sound in the room was her writing.
Eliog watched silently, without saying a word or making any effort to influence the situation.
He knew that this human being would discover the truth of history because she was so serious and eager to pursue the truth.
Eliorg is looking forward to the truth of history being revealed and the whole world knowing that they are the children of the brave Zeus.
History should know the name of the brave man who once fell into the abyss and was forgotten by everyone.
-
Meanwhile. Oedipus Empire. Magicians Association Library.
Hughes took a book from the bookshelf. The title of the book was "The Essentials of Advancing from Intermediate Magic to Advanced Magic".
He has thoroughly studied the art of locomotion and can move on to the next stage.
As the sky gradually darkened, magicians were discussing in the corridor.
"Ah? Another Abyss Lord has arrived? How did I just find out about this?"
"You just found out? He's been out for half a day!"
"It feels like nothing happened. Did He not do anything?"
"Looking for someone?"
Xiu Si had just opened the book when he inexplicably noticed this sentence.
A Lord of the Abyss has appeared, and is he looking for someone?
"Who is the Lord of the Abyss looking for?"
Hughes asked unexpectedly.
At the same time, a young man who was passing by behind him suddenly stopped and stared blankly in his direction when he heard his voice.
Gray Cat was fighting passionately with Malbus and didn't notice the young man behind him at all.
For some reason, the young man's pupils trembled, as if they were filled with tears.
The little puppet lying on Hughes' book noticed something was wrong and was about to turn around when he was picked up.
What kind of evil human being dares to attack me?
The little puppet was so angry that he turned around, his pupils trembled, and he almost shouted meow!
