Meanwhile, in the first layer of the abyss.
A tall figure and an angel with three pairs of black wings were flying swiftly one after the other.
It was none other than the "Abyss Demon Emperor," sent by the "Lord of the Abyss" to meet them, and Annalia, who had followed Jiang Yan into the abyss.
Suddenly, the former seemed to sense something, stopped abruptly, and looked up sharply.
"how..."
Just as Annalia was about to ask a question, she saw the other person's aura suddenly drop, as if he had lost all his strength, and he fell to the ground.
"Master...Master..."
"The Demon Emperor of the Abyss" murmured softly, drops of bloody tears seeping from his eyes.
The gray fur, covered in dust, looked dull and sparsely gathered together.
At this moment, it doesn't look like a supreme being from all realms at all; instead, it looks like a homeless stray dog.
Analia folded her wings and stood silently to the side.
She could feel the other person's endless grief, just as... when she saw the Holy Lord fall into the abyss, her heart stopped beating and her whole body was frozen.
I can empathize with you.
I don't know how much time passed.
The Abyss Demon King finally struggled to his feet. His eyes were devoid of any light until he saw Annalia waiting quietly to the side, at which point he showed a slight change in expression.
It's like looking at my past self.
"Do you... want to become stronger?"
A dry, hoarse voice rang out.
Annalia was slightly taken aback, but then unconsciously clenched her hands and nodded heavily: "Yes."
"Why?"
There's no reason why...
Annalia shook her head gently, a face with a gentle smile faintly reflected in her eyes.
"Anna, you are the angel I trust most..."
"But I hope that the first one to become stronger will be you..."
"Anna, I will always remember that you were the one who stood by my side when I needed you most..."
“...”
A hopeful smile unconsciously appeared on her lips: "I just hope that I can always stand by the Holy Lord's side, and when he needs me, I can solve all his troubles."
The "Abyss Demon Emperor" seemed to recall something as well, and a hint of warmth returned to his eyes.
"That's wonderful..."
It murmured softly, as if talking to itself:
“You know what? My master hates it when I call him master, and he hates it when we call each other ‘sir’... He said he wanted to build a fair and beautiful world without any hierarchy. But that’s the only thing I didn’t follow.”
“My master… is too kind. This is the abyss, a gathering place for all negative emotions from countless eras. Those beings aren't so easily moved. They're like me, constantly trying to transfer their pain to others. I have no choice but to keep them in check for my master, making them behave gently and kindly, just as my master hopes…”
"But actually... all I want is to stay by my master's side forever..."
"Demon Emperor..."
Annalia stared blankly at the other party, as if she were seeing this terrifying being who struck fear into the hearts of all the worlds for the first time.
"Let's not talk about that... We can't keep Master waiting too long..."
The "Abyss Demon Emperor" sighed softly, straightened his body, and hundreds of illusory chains appeared on his body.
It clenched its fist suddenly, and all the chains embedded in its body were shaken off, causing its aura to surge more than tenfold in an instant.
—This is the seal it secretly stole from its master to lighten his burden. Although it is insignificant compared to the more than 700,000 layers of the abyss, it is already the limit of its ability.
Even the near-death injury caused by Jiang Yan's earlier attack that shattered half of his body had not been healed.
But now, there is no need to persist.
"You are the new Abyss Demon Emperor."
It pointed a finger, and a phantom-like light, like a key, condensed at its fingertip and flew toward Anna beside it; that was the authority representing the abyss.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of abysses trembled simultaneously, and boundless power poured down like a vast ocean, flowing into Anna's body under the pull of authority.
"Well..."
Anna felt as if every cell in her body was about to be burst by an immense force, experiencing excruciating pain like being slowly sliced to death, and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
She clenched her teeth tightly, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
The Abyss Demon Emperor didn't look at it again.
Accepting the inheritance of the power of the abyss is almost certainly fatal for ordinary people. But the other party possesses the same unwavering belief as it, and none of this can deter her.
It dragged its weak body, moved with difficulty, and slowly sat down facing the direction of the last layer of abyss, a genuine smile appearing on its face.
"Master...I'm here..."
The breath of life was fleeting, and the once mighty being who had shaken the heavens quietly passed away.
Anna, enveloped by the immense power of the abyss, remained in the entire first layer of the abyss.
One day... ten days... half a year...
Bang!
Until a certain moment, a slight cracking sound rang out, and the star stone that maintained the balance quietly shattered. The unrestrained power of the abyss instantly drove away every inch of holy light power, and a vast and endless power surged within the body. Even the power of the divine position was completely shattered.
Behind her, an immense energy aura grew ever stronger, transforming into pairs of brand-new wings that burst forth from her body.
Eight wings... ten wings... twelve wings...
"ah...!"
With a low growl, Analia clenched her fists tightly, her unwavering will ignoring all the pain as she forcefully drew the immense energy into her body.
Every inch of flesh and blood was crushed and burst by this terrifying force, only to be regenerated through sheer willpower.
After countless struggles on the brink of death, the power representing authority was finally completely refined. The abyssal power that filled the sky was no longer violent and restless, but docilely prostrated at her feet.
Her skin turned sickly pale, and her long hair turned a deep purple, cascading over her shoulders, revealing an eerie beauty.
What's most terrifying is that it has a full eighteen jet-black wings on its back. Each flap contains a terrifying power capable of destroying an entire world.
An eighteen-winged angel!
That was a power that far surpassed the Supreme Realm and was comparable to the limit of the Dominator Realm!
Analia gently landed on the ground, bowed to the "Abyss Demon Emperor" who had turned into a stone statue, and then suddenly pulled her pale, slender hands through the air, and hundreds of chains that the "Abyss Demon Emperor" had unlocked instantly appeared in her hands.
She expressionlessly embedded the chains deep into the wings on her back.
Step by step, it walked to the entrance of the last floor, folded its wings, and stood eternally guarding like a devout sculpture.
Since the Holy Lord has embraced the abyss.
From this moment on, she is no longer a divine angel of heaven, nor a believer in the holy light.
Instead, they are fallen angels who obey only the "Lord of the Abyss".
