This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

"Don't do this! What if you give the Lord of Delusion an opportunity?" Leona rushed over to dissuade Abyss, but this time Abyss showed no mercy and grabbed Leona by the collar, shoving her away again.

The video continues, and the conversation between Edvina and the other two becomes increasingly lively. The three, who have been separated for a long time, quickly develop feelings for each other, and happy smiles overflow from their faces without reservation.

"Stop playing it! The Lord of Delusion will take advantage of this..." Leona, who had just been pushed away by the Abyss, ran up again, trying to stop the Abyss. However, her steps became increasingly slow, and when she was three or four steps away from the Abyss, she could no longer move.

Glug glug... Glug glug...

Strange sounds emanated from all directions of the Abyss, like a pot of thick potato soup boiling, which sounded rather unpleasant.

And with that sound, Leona, who was still bewildered as to why Abyss had shoved her away, suddenly began to disintegrate. She disintegrated extremely quickly, rapidly turning into nothingness from head to toe.

Then, the surrounding scenery began to change. The sky, which had cleared up, darkened again, and the shadow magic enveloped Abyss once more.

However, the shadow magic that replaced the illusion did not last indefinitely; instead, it gradually faded and disappeared.

A slight smile finally appeared on Abyss's lips. He had never believed Leona, who had emerged from the rift in Helheim.

Because he had anticipated that the Lord of Delusion might try to trick him into talking through some other crooked means, he instructed Flora in Helheim before he left that once Leona and Sheila returned to Helheim, they should not be allowed to leave unless he personally went to pick them up.

Abyss, having thus taken precautions against the Lord of Delusion, successfully broke through the Lord of Delusion's impenetrable disguise, remaining completely silent from beginning to end.

The image he just released was aimed at Sophia, who was still helping to set up the illusion around them.

Sophia's body, like Donna's and Lillian's, should now have fulfilled its wish and escaped the control of the Lord of Delusion.

Now, all we need to do is find her, and we can rescue Sofia completely.

Chapter 218 It's Over

Helheim of the Abyss is a powerful weapon against the delusional Lord who possesses the ability to deduce.

If the Abyss remains in Hay-Tver, his every move will be under the surveillance of the Lord of Delusion. In this way, the Lord of Delusion can easily deduce what the Abyss plans to do next and take corresponding measures.

However, the Abyss placed all its planning work in Helheim, a place beyond the reach of the Lord of Delusion. And for this reason, the Lord of Delusion remained completely unaware of the Abyss's actions within.

It wasn't that He hadn't tried to infiltrate with His own consciousness, but the Lord of Delusion's power simply didn't give Him the chance. In a pure contest of strength, the Lord of Delusion was no match for the Lord of Delusion.

That is why the Lord of Delusion did not expect that the Abyss would not fall for His illusions from the very beginning. Not only that, but he also ignored the illusions and directly activated the magic circle that he had prepared in advance, broadcasting the scene inside Helheim live.

This live broadcast had a significant impact, as Sofia's body was clearly visible to all of them.

The reason why the Lord of Delusion can still control Sophia's body like a puppet is because Sophia is still bound by her so-called dream. When the Abyss broadcast the news that Donna and Lillian had been rescued, the last bit of soul left in Sophia's body instantly realized that her dream had been achieved.

The Lord of Delusion must use the concept of "dreams" to control mortals. Once Sophia's dream is fulfilled, the Lord of Delusion can no longer control her. The Lord of Delusion, who originally brought Sophia to bolster his reputation, has now suffered a terrible loss. Not only has he failed to threaten the Abyss, but he has also given away one of his trump cards.

The Lord of Delusion has now fled far away, and after searching the vicinity for a while, Abyss finally found Sophia's body.

“Found it,” Abyss said to his retinue in a telepathic communication. “Sophia’s body is here.”

"How is it?" Flora's voice finally came through.

Leona and Sheila couldn't speak yet, as the Abyss had instructed them not to contact each other until he personally went in to fetch them. Leona, extremely curious about the situation outside, could only listen to the Abyss's words through the shared thought connection.

"Wait a moment, let me check... Hmm, Sophia's body is intact, she's not injured. It seems the power of the Lord of Delusion has dissipated from her body."

Flora told Sophia about the Abyss's discovery, who was anxiously listening to her own body's condition. Sophia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that her body hadn't been damaged. Although she could live well as a spirit now, she still didn't want her body, which she had trained for so many years, to be destroyed.

"Overall it's pretty good, but there's still one small problem."

Abyss then spoke again.

Everyone tensed up when they heard him say that.

Flora asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there some problem you can't solve?"

“There’s nothing insurmountable, the main problem is that Sophia’s body is already cold,” Abis replied. “I just checked her temperature on her neck and under her armpits, and she’s completely cold.”

"What do you mean?" Sofia didn't react for a moment after hearing Flora's retelling, and looked at Edvina beside her.

Edvina said with a complicated expression, "If Master Bellator says so, then your body is already dead. You can no longer return to your own body smoothly."

"Huh? Dead!?" Sophia finally realized what was happening.

……

When the Abyss reappeared in Helheim, it was carrying Sophia's body on its shoulders.

Sophia, a tall female dark elf, was even taller than the Abyss, making the way he carried her look somewhat comical. However, Sophia, seeing her own now-cold body, found it anything but funny.

Abyss placed Sophia's body on a bed that Rebecca had prepared nearby, then shook his head at her with a hint of regret: "I'm sorry, Sophia, I also hoped for a better ending, but the little bit of remnant soul you left in your body was no longer enough to sustain your life after the power of the Lord of Delusion left. So your body did not recover its vitality, but instead went from being in a state that was infinitely close to death when you were controlled to a state of complete death."

“I never imagined I’d be seeing my own corpse this close one day…” Sofia’s expression was quite conflicted. She knelt down beside her own body, looking at the beautiful, healthy body that had lost all vital signs, unsure of what to say.

"What should we say now?" Leona didn't know what to do either.

Should I offer my condolences to the deceased? Something feels off.

Or should I offer my condolences to Edvina and the others? Wouldn't Sofia still feel awkward then?

"Please accept my condolences, Sophia. The dead cannot be brought back to life." Abis didn't care about the awkwardness at all and put into practice the idea that Leona hadn't yet finalized. He stepped forward and patted Sophia on the shoulder.

Sophia flinched nervously when Abyss patted her, and quickly turned around to look at him.

“Oh, I mean your body is dead, not that you have no chance to continue living.” Abis chuckled and scratched his head, then said to Sophia, “Miss Sophia, now I need to ask your opinion. Would you like to continue as a ghost? Become one of my servants, just like my other servants.”

Sofia looked away and thought about it seriously for a while.

She had considered this possibility before, even contemplating following the Abyss as an undead. However, the Abyss's efficiency was so remarkable that it caught her off guard, catching her off guard as she had expected it to take some time and effort.

More than forty years have passed, and Sofia has nothing left to worry about in this world. The sorority is developing normally, requiring no attention from her; her mother passed away in the line of duty a few years ago, and her father also passed away due to illness. Her three sisters are no longer in danger, and joining the Abyss seems to be a no-brainer.

and also……

Sophia stole a glance at Abyss, who was standing there waiting for her answer.

This boy might really be her destined other half...

“Um… I do,” Sophia said.

Chapter 219 A Giant Leap for the Abyss

“Since you are willing to become my familiar, then I can perform the necromancy bond-forming ceremony for you.” After waiting a little while, giving Sophia a moment to change her mind, Abyss stood up seriously and said to her, “After this, you will be my familiar, and we will be family. Of course, I will try my best to make sure you never regret becoming my familiar.”

Sofia swallowed a non-existent saliva and nodded.

Sophia was already considered an acquaintance, but the fact that the Abyss intended to make her a familiar still made the girls present somewhat nervous. The Abyss's plan to collect the dead had reached its final stage; with Sophia, the five girls with the power of the creator god that the Abyss desired would finally be gathered here.

This is a milestone, a significant historical juncture. From this point onward, the Abyss's plan to rebel against the creator god will officially begin.

“Well then, since you’ve made your decision, let’s begin.” Abyss said, waving his hand to remove the bone powder covering Sophia’s spirit body, which was being used as a temporary form, allowing her to revert to a spirit form.

Then, Abis crouched down and placed one hand on Sophia's forehead on the bed.

"Sofia Luminia Kalinkura. By my command, obey my will, through endless cycles of reincarnation, may your soul return."

The incantation flowed from the Abyss's lips, and the powerful magic took effect immediately.

Sophia, waiting to the side, felt her soul being pulled by a very gentle yet irresistible force. She was thus pulled to the side of her body. This force guided her back into her body.

Sophia, who had long wanted to reclaim her body, naturally did not resist this power. She followed the silent guidance of this power and lay down on her body, overlapping with it.

At this moment, all the followers of the Abyss also felt the subtle changes produced by the necromancy bond—a new bond had been formed. A new member had joined the followers of the Abyss.

Sophia, whose brow was being pressed by Abyss's hand, opened her eyes at that moment.

"It's so cold..." That was the first thing Sofia said.

“Your body was already cold, so you felt very cold when you first woke up, but it’s okay…” Abyss took out a covered ceramic jar from his magical catfish, opened the lid, and steam rose out of it. “Drink this. It’s a special herbal concoction that I made. It will make you feel much better.”

Sophia had been quite lucid before, but now that her soul had just returned to her body, she still felt dazed. She obediently drank the herbs that Abyss fed her, and a warm sensation quickly flowed through her limbs, making her feel comfortable and restoring her energy.

"Now we're finally all together!" Leona exclaimed excitedly from the side.

Flora's face was also beaming with a smile. She was one of the first to adventure with the Abyss, and knowing the Abyss's purpose, she was also the one who most hoped that the Abyss could realize its dream.

Rebecca nodded in satisfaction: "Now, our plan can truly unfold. Challenging the Creator God—just thinking about it is incredibly exciting."

Agnes, like Flora, remained silent, simply watching Sophia with curiosity, anticipating what advantages Sophia's addition would bring.

As for Carol, she's still at home; Rebecca doesn't want Carol getting involved in too many adult matters.

"The feeling of becoming a familiar...it's so strange." After her body felt better, Sophia slowly sat up with Abyss's help. She looked at Abyss beside her, then at the others gathered around her, feeling the special sensation that came from the depths of her soul after becoming a familiar.

She felt a telepathic connection with everyone present; her thoughts and the thoughts of others could be consciously shared. Various seemingly chaotic yet incredibly clear forces also flowed through a channel, making Sophia feel even stronger than she had in life.

"How is it? It hasn't taken long for everyone to adapt. You can also use battle aura. How do you feel now?" Abyss asked. "If you feel some unfamiliar power in your body, don't be nervous. This power is shared by everyone in the necromancy bond. Everyone shares a little bit of everyone's abilities."

The Abyss's familiars passively share a portion of their power. This power isn't much for experts of their level; in fact, Leona hasn't learned many new spells yet, and Agnes still can't use aura to fight. But for a genius like Sophia, who is proficient in both aura and magic, this boost is quite considerable.

"I feel stronger now than when I was alive!" Sophia stood up in surprise, turning to look at her three sisters. "Did you see that? I've become stronger!"

"Being my servants has many advantages," Abyss said, placing a hand on his chest and boasting. "So far, my servants are 100% satisfied with me, and I hope Miss Sophia can get along well with everyone in the future."

"May I test my strength in a moment?" Sophia stepped forward and stood before the Abyss. She was now filled with joy, and her speech to the Abyss was no longer as hesitant as before.

“Oh, of course. Helheim has plenty of open space, and if you need, I can provide dummies and other targets for your testing.” Abyss readily agreed.

"That's wonderful!" Sophia couldn't hide her joy. Then, caught up in her excitement, she looked intently at Abis. "And... um... Abis... can I marry you?"

“…Hmm?” Abis was about to agree out of habit when he suddenly realized that Sophia’s proposal seemed a bit rushed.

The other family members also widened their eyes.

He proposed?

"As for marriage... cough cough... if you insist, perhaps we can start dating at a better time." Abyss scratched his head, not refusing the idea.

“But I’m not very good at dealing with boys…” Sophia tried to grab Abyss’s arm, but couldn’t reach out, so she could only stare intently into Abyss’s eyes with her purple eyes. “So, can we skip the dating part and just get married?”

"Ah, this..." Even Rebecca, who is usually the boldest among the family members, was caught off guard by Sophia's directness.

“I will make you happy!” Sofia said. “Really! The women of the Kalinkula family have been good for generations!”

Chapter 220 Sophia's Life Ideal

Leona couldn't stay calm any longer. She rushed to Edvina's side and tugged at her sleeve: "Edvina, what's going on? Are all you dark elves so straightforward?"
