Chapter 55
For a moment, the whole audience was silent.
The representatives of various countries' hearts skipped a beat at the same time, and they looked at the gray-robed young man who suddenly appeared in shock.
As the speaker's assistant finished his words, a gray light suddenly appeared and the void twisted. Before they could react, they saw the space split and a person walked out leisurely.
A single person broke into the parliament of the Continental Human Alliance? Unprecedented!
The Alliance magician was alert on the spot, but was shocked by the endless health bar displayed by the identification skill.
One of the most advanced identification skills, "Golden Eyes", clearly shows [Exceptional Existence]!
"Don't act rashly!"
Someone shouted on the spot and rushed forward to stop the magicians.
Ranked fourth is Eve Jerphis, the strongest ice magician of the contemporary era, it’s her!
Eve used her magic to calm the crowd and stabilize their movements. She then helped the speaker's assistant, who had almost fallen down due to shock, up. She looked at the gray-robed youth with caution and asked carefully, "Are you... the Lord of the Abyss?"
The shocking statement caused all the representatives in the audience to gasp.
They came to the meeting today to discuss the matter of the "Lord of the Abyss", but they didn't expect the real lord to suddenly appear.
Could it be that the other party would hear the name "Lord of the Abyss" and come to settle accounts with them?
Everyone's thoughts were in turmoil, but after all, they were elites from various countries, so they did not panic, but instead tried to remain calm and watch the situation develop.
The other party should not be here to destroy them, otherwise he would not just be talking.
Among all the representatives present, only Ronald, the representative of the Oss Empire, had his eyes wide open, as if he was not only shocked, but also felt something else.
The Os Empire officially rejoined the Continental Human Alliance just a few days ago.
As the representative of the Oss Empire, Ronald hurried to the venue today.
Unlike everyone else at the scene, Ronaldo immediately thought of "Mr. Isius" the moment he saw the man in gray robe.
He believed that Mr. Iseus in the antique shop was the "Lord of the Abyss" who later appeared in the Oedipus Empire. The basis for this was nothing else but the fact that he had seen Mr. Iseus with the "Lords of the Abyss".
It is very likely that I am the only one at the scene who knows the situation.
Ronald was thinking rapidly in his mind, and suddenly two lines of sight pierced through the void, locking onto his entire body and nailing his soul.
The meaning of their warning was too clear, it meant immediate death.
Ronaldo dared not say anything, only cold sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
Mr. Isius... No, why did the Lord of the Abyss appear here?
In a few seconds, countless people were thinking rapidly in their hearts.
At the same time, Eve's question received a positive answer.
A simple "yes" makes one's scalp tingle and one can't help but feel cold.
Eve is the fourth ranked human. She reached the maximum level three years ago and became the 490th maximum level human in history. She is only 42 years old and can be called a genius among geniuses. She is born with magical power as vast as the ocean. Her magic theory is among the best among humans. She is so powerful that even dragons stay away from her.
Originally, she was not going to come to the parliament. Today, she came on a whim and was really curious about the "Lord of the Abyss". She never expected that the real lord would show up before the discussion even started.
If she said she wasn't nervous, she would be lying. Although she was gifted and powerful, and could easily destroy a country in one day, she lacked actual combat experience, especially experience fighting against the continent's top warriors.
She couldn't reveal any problems in front of the other party, so she was calm and dignified on the surface, and she didn't show any emotion. She had to calm the situation, because this was her duty as a high-ranking strong person.
In fact, her proactive action also calmed people's hearts to a certain extent and prevented the situation from becoming chaotic.
Since the other party was able to come to the highest-level parliament of mankind alone, he must have the power to deal with all of them.
We must respond with caution.
However, just when they were getting nervous, the other party slowly said:
"Well, don't be nervous."
The comforting words did not comfort anyone, but instead made them nervous and frightened.
Because the elegance and calmness in the voice are so obvious!
There is no doubt that all of them combined are not a threat in the eyes of the other side.
The Lord of the Abyss, it is said that he can drive all the demons of the abyss. With one order from him, the whole continent will become the back garden of the trolls. Once he is unhappy, the monarch of the abyss will destroy his country to please him.
His existence has always been a legend and has always been considered to be the fabrication of bards. However, unexpectedly, he appeared twice in recent days and personally proved that he not only exists, but can really drive the Lord of the Abyss!
Eve suppressed her inner fear, gritted her teeth, and resolutely stepped up to the stage, representing the entire audience, and even all of humanity, to conduct "diplomatic" activities with this ancient and great being.
She asked respectfully, "I don't mean to offend you, but may I ask why you are here?"
Before he finished speaking, countless people broke out in cold sweat on their backs, all nervously watching the situation on the stage.
The young man in a grey robe stood alone on the high platform. His cognition was blocked, so his face could not be seen clearly, but a pair of abyss-like eyes could be vaguely seen.
It's like the endless dark seabed.
Silence, indifference, suffocating.
He did not reveal any aura of an absolutely powerful being, nor did his magic power leak out at all. He just stood there calmly, yet it was clear that he was extraordinary.
You simply cannot harbor any desire to disobey Him.
Why on earth did He come here?
Everyone listened attentively, holding their breath and pursing their lips, eager to hear the other party's words.
The young man in gray robe simply said: "Some of my friends are missing, I hope you can help find them."
The whole audience was silent again.
They thought of many possibilities, but they didn't expect... friends? The Lord of the Abyss mentioned friends?
Everyone's brains seemed to be blown open by magic.
An unexpected sentence disrupted their thoughts, leaving these calm and rational diplomatic elites stunned.
Eve calmed down and took over the conversation calmly, asking, "Who is your friend?"
As expected of being ranked fourth among humans, its coping capabilities far exceed ours!
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the young man in gray robe.
The young man still spoke in a calm tone and said something that they were not expecting.
"My friends are the five heroes you all know."
The expressions of everyone in the room, including Eve, changed.
A hero? The Lord of the Abyss's friend is actually a hero?
Wait, do the heroes actually know the Lord of the Abyss?
They were shocked and confused and could not react at all. The information was like a bomb, shaking their brain nerves and making them almost unable to think.
And then, they saw.
The young man in the gray robe lowered his eyes, his tone full of nostalgia, and said in a deep voice: "When I woke up, they were all gone. The reason for their disappearance seems to be related to you, so I hope you can find them."
It sounded like a very polite remark, but it made everyone present feel a chill to varying degrees.
Eve's face turned pale. The audience was shocked.
"Wang Chang'er, Ye Qingyi, Justin, Mingjie, and Chen Lingxi."
The young man in gray robe counted out the names of legends one by one, his tone was calm and majestic, and no one dared to interrupt.
"You should know about the disappearance of these five people and how to find them."
Before he finished speaking, some elderly people turned pale and their hands and feet trembled, as if they had heard something very scary.
It's like the fear of being liquidated and dying.
Eve agreed subconsciously and said seriously, "Okay. The disappearance of the heroes is a pity for all mankind. We have been committed to finding them, but we may have been a little slack in recent years. I am very sorry about this. On behalf of the Continental Human Alliance and all mankind on the continent, I apologize to you. It is our lack of ability and slackness of consciousness. Since they are your friends, we will do our best to find them, please rest assured."
“…”
The young man in gray seemed to be stunned for a moment, and looked at her with a scrutinizing look.
Cold sweat dripped down Eve's forehead, her eyelashes were trembling, and her spirit was tense to the extreme.
Everyone in the audience could find no fault with Eve's words. She was sincere, even exposing her own shortcomings, slapping herself in the face, and expressing her intention to correct them.
The only thing missing is...
Eve immediately remembered and added hastily, "We can't guarantee that we will find the hero within a month, but we will definitely give you the information."
That’s right, it is very important to agree on a deadline when promising others a task, and the words you use must be thorough, perfect and foolproof.
No one expected that. They all said that Eve was a laboratory magician with a relatively biased focus. Even though she had strategic-level strength, she rarely communicated with ordinary people. Unexpectedly, this conversation today revealed that she was not simply capable of magic experiments and simple war and destruction.
However, does her statement make sense to the Lord of the Abyss?
The air was silent again, and everyone looked at the gray-robed man's reaction nervously.
The young man in gray robe didn't say anything else, but just disappeared quietly.
"Then within a month."
After a few seconds, only a bunch of people who were unable to react were left.
Eve breathed a sigh of relief, and felt her legs and feet weaken. This was the first time she faced this kind of ancient being. When facing it, she instinctively tried to analyze it countless times and measure the distance between herself and it. However, the analysis failed. It seemed that the distance between her and it was not distance, but the entire universe!
She couldn't imagine a way to bridge that distance.
Is this the Lord of the Abyss?
The people off the field gradually reacted and started to discuss.
Someone asked the history researcher next to him, "Wait, the Lord of the Abyss and the Hero are friends? Is there any record of this in history?"
"No... there is no such saying at all. Although the heroes have been to the abyss many times, they have never said that they know the Lord of the Abyss."
"Really?"
"Oh, it would be great if the brave Roger was still alive. He would definitely know what's going on."
"Not necessarily. The Lord of the Abyss did not mention Roger, but only five of the seven heroes. In other words, Roger the hero is not a friend of the Lord of the Abyss?"
"You are stupid, because the brave Roger has already sacrificed himself..."
They discussed intensely, but no one realized that there was one person missing from their discussion the whole time.
Eve had just calmed down and was ready to step down and let someone take charge of this matter.
At this time, an old historian suddenly stood up. He looked around at everyone, and said slowly, "Everyone, please be patient. The Lord of the Abyss is an extremely great being. He came here specially to give us a task. He thinks highly of us humans, or it is a test to see if we can solve the problem He set for us."
Eve paused, looked at the old man in confusion, and asked, "What do you mean?"
The old man recalled the past, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, his voice was low and hoarse, and he slowly said: "Back then, the brave men had good relations with many gods. For example, the goddess of harmony was the guardian of the brave men, the goddess of luck was the protector, the goddess of virtue was the enlightener, and the goddess of wisdom gave help from time to time. Over the past thousands of years, the brave men have met countless great beings. The Lord of the Abyss has a long life, and perhaps he had seen the brave men in the past, but now he has 'awoke' and the human friends he once knew are gone, so he came to visit us."
What a reasonable paragraph, which almost explains the cause and effect clearly.
In other words, the Lord of the Abyss once made the acquaintance of five brave men. One day, he woke up and found that his old friends were gone, so he came here on a whim to look for them.
...Is that what you mean?
Eve was stunned for a moment, and said to herself, "How many years will it take for Him to wake up after a dream..."
"I don't know, but what is certain is that He should have no ill will towards humans. So we'd better do our best to release kindness."
The old man nodded seriously and looked around at everyone again, his tone unquestionable.
"You all witnessed the situation of this meeting. This is what happened. The Lord of the Abyss wants us to find the missing heroes, and we should have found them, but for some reason later... we were not so enthusiastic." His words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Most people nodded in agreement. Judging from what happened just now, the other party should be able to communicate.
If you can make friends with the Lord of the Abyss, it is equivalent to making friends with twenty-four Abyss Lords at the same time.
Let me ask you, what reason do you have not to do it?
Only a very small number of people had stiff expressions, as if they were thinking of something, with their fists clenched under the table and cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
They didn't seem to want to find the missing heroes, but they couldn't deny it directly, so they were in a dilemma.
Why would the Lord of the Abyss suddenly bring up something that had clearly been buried? Couldn't they just let it be buried forever under history?
But things went against one's wishes. The Speaker finally spoke up and agreed to form a special research and investigation team at the SS level, which meant that they could access all confidential files of the Alliance at the SS level and below, and could mobilize executors above level 90.
It only takes an S-level team to deal with an ordinary crisis of national destruction, which shows how much the Speaker attaches importance to this.
He even wanted to raise the mission level to the highest SSS level, which is a crisis level for all humanity, but there was no way. To establish this level, it had to be approved by at least seven elders, and the process was rather complicated.
"First, complete the mission according to the standards of SS-level missions. You are allowed to set up a task force of 50-500 people. The captain will be Simon, the Sword Saint who is not in the alliance for the time being. Simon has almost finished investigating the memory beast incident and is just continuing to test it over there. Simon has met the Lord of the Abyss twice, and he is experienced and powerful, so he should be the best candidate for the team leader."
The Speaker gave instructions in an orderly manner, and finally cast his eyes on Eve, "Eve, you will also help with the things you promised yourself, right?"
Everyone looked at Eve.
Eve has smooth blonde hair that reaches her waist. As a magician, she can use magic to control her appearance, so you can't tell her age from the outside.
Eve is ranked fourth among humans. If she can participate in this mission, the probability of success will undoubtedly increase.
Eve doesn't seem to have anything important to do these days, so it would be great if she could come and help.
In this regard, Eve inexplicably recalled the nostalgic tone of the gray-robed young man.
After lowering her eyes and thinking for a few seconds, Eve nodded and agreed to help.
"Let us find the missing hero together."
This matter is actually not optimistic, because if it could be easily found, they would have found it long ago.
But the situation is different this time.
So they have to work harder.
Besides, it was their duty to retrieve the hero.
-
At this time, in the bookstore.
Hughes was silent for a while. He was too easily fooled by the children. When he came to his senses, he realized how bold he had been.
...He actually went to the Continental Human Alliance's parliament and demanded that representatives from all over the world obey his orders.
Although he really wanted to get his friends back, this method... was there something wrong?
It was sheer luck that she wasn't discovered.
When Hughes lowered his head to think, his arm was "attacked" by the soft flesh pad.
The gray cat's head came into view, its eyes staring straight at him, and its watery eyes made Xius' heart soften for a moment.
This is what my lovely children expect me to do. As a father, how can I let them down?
Xiu Si inexplicably perked up, changing his dazed look just now, but he was a little worried: "By the way, what if we do this and are discovered by the real Lord of the Abyss?"
He had asked this question before, but they were inexplicably confident and determined that it would definitely not happen.
Now the gray cat still swears.
There is no possibility of being discovered because my father is the Lord of the Abyss!
At the same time, the little rag doll meowed and opened its paws as if asking for a hug, which was very cute.
Xiu Si was a little amused and lifted Him up high. "Because you are at the highest level and are never afraid of fighting, so I don't have to worry about anything?"
My children are becoming more and more adept at telling jokes.
Xius reminded: "If you have reached the maximum level, you can turn into a human."
Upon hearing this, the little ragdoll became more confident and meowed immediately.
"You said you can turn into a human? Or a beautiful woman?"
Xiu Si paused for a moment, then smiled innocently, "You can have dreams. Of course, Dad believes that you will be a great beauty after you transform into a human form."
The little puppet meows, that's it, just trust me! Dad is so smart, praise him!
Seeing this, the gray cat couldn't help but cough.
Xiu Si turned his head and his eyes fell on the gray cat. "However, Inbosi, your magic weapon is too good, isn't it? There are so many powerful people at the scene, but no one can find anything unusual."
The gray cat nodded. He actually did nothing. He was just acting like his father.
Their father has not noticed his own uniqueness, but they all see that their father is definitely not just level 31. That is just the level in the table. The system is broken and cannot display the real level.
Those people outside who do level assessment also see the wrong system level.
Let's call the real level "inner level" for now. He believes that his father's inner level is definitely higher than the maximum level.
Only a few identification skills can determine that their father is an exception, and usually with them around, others don't even have the chance to use advanced identification skills on their father.
Inpos believed that, just as his father had experienced, only if his father learned magic could his true level be restored.
What are their children to do?
Protect your father and let him sit where he should be!
By the way, when Beelzebub pointed out that there was a problem with the hero's system magic the day before yesterday, he did not find any problems after deconstructing it, but only discovered a "backdoor".
The so-called "backdoor" is equivalent to a computer backdoor, that is, a virus that can bypass system security checks and gain control of the system.
By placing a backdoor in the system, the other party can remotely control your system, affecting the danger of your system, or even your life or death.
Logically speaking, this is a very dangerous thing.
But the backdoor of Father's system was cut off. The "backdoor" once existed, but it was eliminated, so they didn't have to worry about Father's situation.
I just don't know who did it. It's full of mysteries.
The gray cat was lost in thought and didn't respond for several minutes until someone's loud voice broke the silence.
Levin came hurriedly, leaning against the wall, sweating profusely, and said, "Huh? Ah, good morning, Mr. Isius."
"What's wrong?"
-
Almost at the same time, the other party.
Eliog broke through the void and walked in the snow-white palace paved with marble, his eyes directly cast at the handsome young man sitting on the throne.
The boy's sitting posture was not proper. The throne might be too big for him. He could neither sit nor lean comfortably. The only comfortable position was sleeping.
The back of his head was leaning against the armrest of the throne, his short, fine hair was cut just above his brow bone, and his snow-white skin looked as if it had not been exposed to sunlight for hundreds of years, revealing a somewhat unhealthy paleness.
The age of the body chosen will affect the maturity of thinking to a certain extent, but He seems to prefer using a body of this age, between childishness and maturity, with an inexplicable critical beauty.
Eliorg stared at the boy, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that he met Amon in his youth. If he had met Amon in his adult form, it would have been troublesome. He called out the boy's name: "Amon."
The young man turned his head, but did not prepare to get up. He said nonchalantly: "Elliot, rare guest, why are you here?"
Eliog looked around the empty palace and knew that Amon had occupied the country for nearly hundreds of years.
Amon looked at Eliorg and said indifferently, "I heard that...you guys gathered in the Oedipus Empire to cause trouble? Do you want to return the continent to the Demon Age again?"
Eliog paused and looked back at Amon, "Is there such a thing? I don't have a good relationship with them."
Amon finally sat up, his deep green eyes glowing slightly, without the power of insight, his gaze was already oppressive enough.
"Oh? But you have the scent of Beelzebub."
Eliorg's face darkened, "Don't say such disgusting things."
"Haha, you still love to act like you hate Beelzebub."
"It's not a show, it's really annoying."
Amon rested his chin on his hand and said, "Hate is mutual repulsion between the same sex, which means you are demons of similar nature. You say you hate Him, but you actually understand Him very well."
"Don't mention Beelzebub."
Eliorg said bluntly, "I came here to ask you something."
Amon's eyes darkened, and his tone was a little impatient, "What's the matter?"
Eliorg said bluntly: "Tell the truth about what you have done in the past eight thousand years. Don't embellish or hide anything."
The air was subtly silent.
Amon raised his eyebrows, "Why are you asking these questions?"
Eliorg: "Write your history."
Amon paused, his eyes turned, green light flashed, and he asked inexplicably: "Why."
Eliorg said calmly, "I suddenly thought of this a few days ago. If father comes back one day, how can we face him now? Therefore, it is urgent to rewrite history."
Amon seemed indifferent. He stared into Eliog's eyes and said, "There is nothing I cannot let my father know."
"are you sure."
"certainly."
Amon acted self-righteously, as if he really didn't care about the bad deeds he had done over the years.
Elioli stared at Him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your father will be angry?"
Hearing this, Amon suddenly stood up, his eyes were cold and majestic, and he asked back: "Why should I be afraid of my father's anger? It has been more than 8,000 years, and I have long stopped caring about my father. Only you are still stuck in the past and can't get out of it, but I have already walked out of it. At this point, it is meaningless for you to tell me these things."
Eliog was furious when he heard this, "Amon, have you forgotten your roots? You actually abandoned your Creator and wanted a demon to do whatever he wanted outside."
Amon's face turned cold. "Humph, that's ridiculous. I'm not like you guys who are obsessed with your father. Eight thousand years have passed, which is enough for me to be independent and mature. Why should I be trapped in the past and wait for someone who will never come back?"
"It's all nonsense." Who is this guy who has a father complex?
Eliog clenched his fists, his magic power boiling.
Amon smiled at this, and the boy's face showed a bit of mischief. He teased: "Elioge, are you going to fight? Are you sure you want to fight me, who is ranked 7th, when you are ranked 15th?"
Eliog: "Amon, let me ask you one last time, have you really ignored your father?"
Amon responded sharply, "You should ask your father why he ignored me?"
The two demons faced each other, their magic power distorted the void, and it seemed that a mythical war was about to unfold in the next second!
A few minutes later, it was Eliog who broke the silence first.
He glanced at Amon coldly and angrily said, "Unfilial demon, I am very disappointed in you. Even if you build an invincible giant kingdom of God, what does it matter? Just stay by yourself, demon."
Amon sneered: "Eriorg, let's get back to the point. What are you doing in the Oedipus Empire?"
"No comment."
Eliog glanced at Him one last time and stepped into the void.
-
After Eliog left, Amon's face became uncertain. He suddenly smacked his lips and his eyes looked gloomy.
"What Eliorger and the others did was definitely related to my father. Even after I told them so, they still didn't tell me the truth. They must have discovered some information about my father but kept it secret."
"Haha, do you think you can beat me?"
Obviously, Amon said that on purpose. How could He abandon his father to the past?
-
On the other side, several thousand meters away.
Eliorg cursed: "How dare Amon lie to me? How could He abandon my father? He is lying so that I can let my guard down and reveal information about my father."
"Haha, I won't fall for this trick."
If Inbosi or Buyer were present, their father's information would have been extracted.
Eliorg said in a deep voice: "Amon, you want to gamble, right? I have my father, so the advantage is mine!"
-
Then, Amon grabbed a pure black crystal ball from the void.
Just when Eliog left, He took Eliog's magic factor.
"You want to hide information from me? No way."
Amon put the magic factor into the crystal ball.
The crystal ball immediately lit up, revealing the outlines of the main continent.
Then there was a brightest spot showing the location of Eliog.
"Oh? Still around here?"
Amon smiled.
-
at the same time.
Eliog created his clone three minutes ago.
"Amon will definitely track me, but I will not be tracked by Him."
I set up a maze to make Him think that I haven't given up yet!
And I was going to do just that.
-
But the next second, Amon touched his chin and immediately understood.
"This is a fake clone. The real Eliog is hiding."
"Let me guess where you are."
"Behind me, huh?"
Amon turned around and saw Eliog walking out of the void with a dark face.
"You wanted to attack me by surprise, but I discovered it in advance. Your plan went wrong."
Amon narrowed his eyes, looking at the magic field that Eliog had no time to cover the entire field. If Eliog's trap was successful, He might really capsize and lose to Eliog.
"Elliot, why are you so obsessed with this? What are you hiding?"
Amon approached slowly, his deep green eyes filled with cold light, like the reflected light on a blade, cold and sharp.
Eliog did not answer. The magic power around him was still brewing, forming a silent confrontation.
"Is it something I can't know?"
Amon approached Eliog, only one step away, the threat was imminent.
Eliog suddenly said, "Forget it, Amon. I know that what you just said is all false. I can tell you honestly that I am rewriting history. You are indispensable, and your history is the most difficult to rewrite. You must cooperate with me and tell me your truth, why you want to occupy this country, your motives and consequences."
“…”
Amon stared into Eliog's eyes, as if he wanted to see through everything about Eliog, and suddenly said: "There is no truth. The history recorded by humans is true."
Eliog didn't believe it: "Amon, you and I are both built on the humanity of our father. I don't know your upper limit, but your lower limit will definitely not be low. I don't believe in you, but I believe in my father, and believe in the equal education that my father gave us."
Amon's eyes were dark, he lowered his head and said nothing for a long time, "Eriorg, you won't understand."
He expressed a clear refusal.
Eliog's plan was thwarted and he frowned deeply, but Amon seemed unwilling to give in, so He knew that it would not be solved in a short time.
"Never mind. It's up to you."
Eliog turned around.
A crack appeared in the void, and a huge amount of magical power leaked out.
Eliog walked into the void, looked back and said one last word.
"Amon, don't let your father down."
-
A few minutes later.
Amon sat on the throne, one hand on his face, his short hair hanging down, covered in heavy shadows, but his eyes glowed in the darkness.
His face was gloomy and his figure was looming, as if his existence itself was unstable.
Half a minute later, He suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Liar...Father, you will never come back."
The young man pressed his face, his voice trembling, as if he was crying.
"You promised to play with me. You promised me to do it next time."
"Why did you ignore me? Where did you go?"
"Is it...I really disappoint you."
The young man curled up on the throne, hugged his knees, and looked as if he was crying.
Just when he was grieving, a message suddenly popped up saying that the "Lord of the Abyss" had appeared again, and appeared openly at the Continental Human Alliance Parliament.
Amon was furious. Again and again! Why are you still pushing fake products? You deserve to be punished, right?
