Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 56 "The Abyss" - Suppressing the Abyss

boom!

Like the sun shining brightly in the sky, spreading endless pure light.

The Demon King's enormous body disintegrated within the absolute purification domain.

The ancient sun god had mastered his abilities to an extreme degree. "Purification" nearly killed the demon king, but more importantly, it "purified" the other high-level characteristics within Him.

This is the ability of the Solar Pathway Sequence Four "Darkless Ones" to expel excess extraordinary properties from the body.

Now that the ancient sun god's status is being exercised, even gods may have their internal characteristics' stability shaken.

The nature of the ancient gods is inherently unstable...

With a single blow, the very existence of the Demon Lord seemed to be purified.

But in the next instant, the Demon King's form reformed in that pure light, proving that killing Him was no easy task.

However, the ancient sun god had already achieved his goal. Several shadows suddenly appeared behind him, grabbed something, and then "herded" one of them.

It was a brass-colored metal book, the only one that represented the "Judge's" path!

"Roar!" The Demon King's condition actually looked several degrees better than before?

With his superfluous traits "purified," the Demon King's existence became purer, and his mental state improved dramatically.

"Defilement is forbidden here!" A glint flashed in the uniqueness that was grazed by the shadows, and such a line was written on the page.

This brass book was used by the ancient sun god to fight against the demon king.

"Abyss!" the Demon King roared, and the Abyss, hidden within the endless sea in the real world and shrouded in thick fog, suddenly trembled.

The Demon King had developed a close enough connection with the Abyss to even control it.

Similar to the significance of the ocean to the Elf King!

In the next instant, the demon king vanished, transforming into a concept so abstract that even gods could not grasp it. It merged with the abyss, disappearing completely from the astral plane and leaving the battlefield.

He... ran away.

The mists of the deep sea returned, the abyss vanished once more, and the abstract astral plane fell silent.

"Fabuti...Abyss!"

King Olmir the Giant glanced at the abyss shrouded in mist, then his single, twilight eye fixed on the grazing brass book.

"Hmph!" In the end, the Giant King did not try to seize it; this was a potential collaborator.

As dusk faded, the ancient god also turned his gaze away.

This battle of gods involved a great deal of people, but it was far less significant than the battle of gods that ended an era.

"So powerful!" Truman looked at the figure in the divine robes still standing in the astral plane.

The ancient sun god has now returned to his normal human form; the sun and shadows have faded, and his divinity shines forth.

He hasn't even used the power of the Chaos Sea yet...

Such an ancient sun god is terrifying, and He is far from reaching His limit.

"Come with me and take a look." Sasriel and Truman tore through space, located the abyss, and jumped over.

They were surrounded by a thick fog, and beneath their feet lay endless demons.

Various strangely shaped demons, some covered in eyes, some simply having slippery, evil tentacles, and of course, some slightly more humanoid demons, all of which were quite advanced.

They were defeated in the war and rushed back to the abyss.

"There's something wrong with the state of the Abyss," Truman said after observing for a while. "Many years from now, this place won't even be suitable for most Abyss creatures."

Because the high-level characteristics of the two major pathways of "order" are missing, the order that has been created will gradually collapse.

Sasriel nodded slightly. "But that's just right. One Demon Lord is enough. The other creatures will really be corrupted and become a threat."

"But I think this abyss is even more..." Truman stroked his chin, choosing a somewhat inappropriate word, "pure?"

"The Demon Lord's ability to embody the Abyss concept must have been acquired after purifying his own characteristics," Sasriel gave Truman the answer.

"The concept of the Abyss has now been integrated with Fabuti."

"Is this a method of resurrection?" This was the first thing Truman thought of.

"The Abyss will never perish, the Abyss will never die," Sasriel murmured.

"Another god that's very difficult to kill."

No, it should be said that all gods are very difficult to kill, and they always have various means to resurrect and return.

Of course, even gods with immortality must die several times to demonstrate their unique resurrection ability...

"So He is well-suited to guard this place." Sasriel looked at the gradually closing abyss and nodded gently.

Truman even sensed that the one on the astral plane had withdrawn his gaze from Sasriel.

"We don't need to pay too much attention to this place anymore." The two returned to the Creator God's Kingdom.

……

Another dream council.

The four representatives from all sides gathered together once again.

"Thank you for your help." Sasriel directly offered up the history of the previous era and the known knowledge of the stars.

These are all pre-agreed rewards.

Truman directly materialized it into paper books.

"History and the stars..." Amanisis and Lilith were both immersed in it.

Truman openly took a copy, wanting to see how the ancient sun god viewed the history of the First Age.

"Two opposing beings, separated from the primordial creator?"

"Lord of Mysteries, Primordial God..."

This intelligence report provides a complete account of the history of the First Age, even mentioning the concept of the sequence above, and also introducing the known Outer Gods.

"Compared to later generations, some concepts and details are less clear, such as the fact that both of them contained multiple source substances..."

"The descriptions of Outer Gods also lack many details, and even their names are incomplete..."

These things were probably deduced after the ancient sun god truly gained omniscience and omnipotence.

"...Unbelievable." Lilith's voice was slightly hoarse.

The enemy who may have been watching Him all along was more terrifying than He imagined.

This means that His path will be even more arduous from now on.

"Is this the truth of the world?" Amanisis exclaimed, lamenting that so many things were beyond their control.

"The knowledge here is all true," Truman vouched for Sussril.

"Thousands of years from now, we will have to face those beings outside."

Both Lilith and Amanisis fell silent, processing everything and re-examining themselves.

Amanisis was the first to recover and threw a hidden space directly at Sasriel.

"Inside is an island obtained from the bottom of the abyss, and inside is the ritual altar where the Demon King stole the power of the Outer Gods."

This thing fell into the hands of the goddess, and she probably studied it quite a bit, but now it seems that giving it to the ancient sun god is the most appropriate way to deal with it.

"Okay." Sasriel put it away.
