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

“The Creator God…” Agnes looked somewhat dazed.

The Creator God could be considered Agnes's nemesis. The sacred tree she created was to shield the world from the Creator God's surveillance, and her death was directly related to the Creator God.

Agnes rarely gets angry, and she's not a very vengeful person, but she still seems a little lost in thought when she hears the name of the creator god.

"So, the Lord of Delusion is actually an avatar of the Creator God?" Flora's expression was somewhat uneasy.

Abis was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, I don't think the Lord of Delusion is an incarnation of the Creator God. He even needs the divine power of other gods to open a spatial rift, which shows that his status, authority, and power are not at the level of the Creator God at all. He is even considered to be in the lower middle range among evil gods. If I had to say, I think he is just a lackey who possesses the Creator God's original power. This original power can ensure loyalty or something else."

Sophia chimed in, "No wonder... I've been wondering why the Lord of Delusion, an evil god, doesn't invade this world but instead hides here. If we hadn't captured Hollik and learned that he was going to meet the Lord of Delusion, my assassination attempt probably wouldn't have been successful."

Sophia was killed by the Lord of Delusion, so she is naturally more qualified to judge his actions.

The Lord of Delusion had the ability to turn her, a powerful woman, into a puppet, but he didn't make her do this or that to expand his power, which was already a bit strange.

It should be noted that Sophia is the most outstanding assassin in the history of the continent, and she also has a great influence in the Shadow Sisters. By all accounts, she is the best tool to expand the power of the Lord of Delusion.

Furthermore, the puppets of the Lord of Delusion that the Abyss's group encountered before were all pre-arranged by the Lord of Delusion through his calculations, simply to hinder the Abyss. These puppets mostly stayed in one place without moving and did not interact with people.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Lord of Delusion is even very careful not to let his power expand.

Now that they have obtained evidence from Sheila that might prove the Lord of Delusions is a lackey of the Creator God, the Abyss has a new speculation.

The Lord of Delusion was actually an observer placed in Hay-Terville by the Creator God out of interest.

He possesses the ability to observe the entirety of Hay-Tever and to automatically deduce its workings; this is the power bestowed upon Him by the Creator God's origin.

Now that a traitor like the Abyss has appeared in Heitville, the Lord of Delusion should report back to the Creator.

However, times have changed.

After Agnes's sacred tree appeared, the Creator God's active observation of the world was altered, and the Nine Gods were thus granted a certain degree of freedom. Apart from some restrictions that the Creator God had instilled in them and bound to their divinity, they could do things according to their own will that might otherwise have brought about their demise.

For example, it's like prohibiting the Lord of Delusions from leaving this world.

Under the influence of the Sacred Tree, the Lord of Delusion was unable to transmit the true information to the Creator God, and He Himself was also unable to leave this world. As an evil god, He differed greatly from other evil gods, one of which was that He did not communicate with the world's interior through artifacts from outside the world, but was inherently within the world; the crown was merely a form of His physical existence.

The Lord of Delusion could not possibly be willing to stay in this world forever, especially since the Abyss was planning to defeat the Creator God.

Perhaps the creator god wouldn't be too worried about being defeated, but if the creator god received this news, he would certainly be very interested.

When the time comes, He only needs to come over and play a trick on the Abyss, and then conveniently take care of it.

The Abyss has become very strong, but not strong enough. The Abyss must find a way to obtain the power left behind by the Lord of the Dead and his status as a god before considering the next step of activating the system and stealing the authority and status belonging to the creator god.

Before this, he still had no way to deal with the attack from the creator god.

Therefore, the Lord of Delusion thought of using the divine power collected by the Abyss to open the rift that had always existed in this world, leave this world, and return to the Creator God to report to his master.

But He still didn't expect that although the Abyss had a considerable sense of justice, it was not someone who would be blinded by a sense of justice and foolishly carry out justice. Reason was still the dominant factor in the Abyss's actions.

In fact, Abyss knew from a young age that having a sense of justice without reason or having reason without a sense of justice is harmful, and sometimes the former can cause even greater trouble than the latter. His master had taught him since he was still young that he must possess both wisdom and conviction commensurate with his strength.

If the Lord of Delusion really manages to escape this time, then there will be a huge problem.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

“The Lord of Delusion possesses the primordial power of the Creator God…” Abyss pondered for a moment, “Then could I use the power of the Lord of Delusion to activate the power of the Lord of Death within me?”

“That makes sense.” Rebecca’s eyes lit up when she heard Abyss say that, “Since the Nine Gods told you that the power of the Lord of Death Silence needs the primordial power of the Creator God to activate, then the Lord of Delusion, who was directly created by the Creator God, may really have such potential.”

"Use this fragment?" Leona blinked and pointed to a palm-sized piece of crown fragment next to the Abyss.

“I think it’s definitely worth a try,” Abis nodded.

"So next I can see the Abyss become a god?" Leona clapped her hands. "Will my rank also increase accordingly? I remember that ABC's necromancy can make the undead reside in the same rank as him."

“That’s how it is in theory,” Abis nodded again.

"Then hurry up and eat this fragment. I can't wait to give the Lord of Delusion a good beating."

Leona's face was flushed, and she excitedly rubbed her hands together.

“Oh no, you have to wait a bit, because there’s something very important to do first.” Abyss suddenly turned to Flora. “Flora, I need you.”

Chapter 342 Flora's Wish

"What do you need me to do? I can do anything." Flora agreed quite readily. She had long been prepared to give everything for the Abyss, and helping out now was no big deal.

“I want to grant your wish,” Abyss said earnestly, looking into Flora’s eyes.

Flora paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes at the others standing around her.

It seems like no one was joking.

Moreover, Abyss's gaze was very firm—he was still suffering from the aftereffects of using the Fallen Lord's power, so he certainly wouldn't be joking around for no reason.

"What... do you suddenly want to grant my wish?" Flora blushed. "It's okay, my wish can be granted later."

“Only by fulfilling your wish can our cooperation become even closer,” Abyss said. “Actually, I’ve been thinking about finding an opportunity to help you fulfill your wish for a long time. You were the first familiar I’ve ever met, yet I haven’t been able to fulfill your wish from when you were alive. I think that’s a bit unreasonable. Now, we have a perfect opportunity, so why don’t I help you fulfill your wish?”

“Opportunity…” Flora thought for a moment and understood what Abyss meant.

She wasn't stupid; she didn't need to guess the Abyss's intentions for long: if Flora's wish was granted, Flora could share all her power with the Abyss, which would be of great significance to the Abyss.

Flora's affinity for divine power is the strongest among mortals; even the Abyss, whose soul is fused with that of an evil god, is slightly inferior to her.

Therefore, if Flora's wish is fulfilled, her offering of power will also give the Abyss a better affinity for divine power, which will be of great benefit to him in the future when he awakens the Lord of the Dead and uses His power.

If it were just that, Flora might have agreed immediately.

However, looking into Abyss's eyes now, Flora felt a little shy.

It seems he wasn't just trying to fulfill Flora's wish for the sake of the power offering; he had been looking for a suitable opportunity to help Flora fulfill her unfulfilled wishes long ago.

And this opportunity is actually quite suitable. After all, if Abyss can increase his affinity with divine power before activating the power of the Lord of Death, it will be more prudent.

"I...I..." Flora began to stammer.

"Take your time, it's alright," Rebecca said with a smile. "You weren't willing to talk about it before, so it's actually quite difficult for you to say it now."

“I can wait,” Abis nodded in agreement.

"Flora, just say it bravely, it's okay." Leona walked to Flora's side and patted her on the back. "Your wish can't be something embarrassing to say, right?"

"No, no," Flora quickly waved her hands.

Having always been a respectable girl, she could never have such a wish. Besides, it would be too shameful to make such a thing her dying wish.

"To help you cool down." Agnes walked up to Flora and cupped her face in her hands.

Flora's face is now flushed, and her temperature has risen; she doesn't even look like an undead anymore.

Abyss stood there straight, staring intently at Flora.

Sophia thought for a moment, then walked over to Abyss, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Um, Abyss, I think you should stop staring at Flora right now, it'll only make her more nervous."

“Oh, really?” Abyss readily agreed and turned around. “Flora, you can think about it first. If you really don’t want to say, that’s perfectly fine too. After all, fulfilling your wish still depends on you.”

With Abyss no longer watching, and Agnes helping to ease her tension, Flora finally relaxed a little. However, she still bit her lip, as if she were engaged in a very intense internal struggle.

This piqued Rebecca's curiosity. Looking at Flora, she wondered what kind of wishes Flora had in her life, not something shameful, yet something she found so difficult to express.

"Is your wish difficult to fulfill?" Leona asked curiously.

Flora thought for a moment and replied, "My wish... I don't know how difficult it is. If it's difficult, many people can actually do it. If it's easy, I haven't succeeded yet."

“That’s easy. If ABC helps, we can definitely do it.” Leona had a lot of confidence in Abyss. “Think about it, when he granted my wish before, the Lord of Delusion was trying so hard to get in the way, but we still managed to complete it. Although he usually likes to bully me, he is very reliable when it matters.”

“I know…” Flora nodded timidly.

She thought for a while longer, and then, as if she had made a decision, her gaze suddenly became firm.

“Abyss, I…I want to ask you to grant my wish,” Flora called out to Abyss, who was turning his body to the side.

Abyss turned around as well: "Of course, I will do my best to help you with anything you need. Neither the Lord of Delusion nor the Lord of Death is as important as your wish."

"Don't talk like that, Flora's getting nervous again!" Leona crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I was telling the truth," Abyss apologized expressionlessly. Expecting any reaction from him now that he had lost all emotion was a bit of a luxury.

"My wish is to live like an ordinary girl." Flora finally voiced this wish that had been bottled up inside her. "I want to experience what it's like to be an ordinary girl, to experience a life without responsibilities, where no one needs my help..."

When Flora said this, everyone immediately understood her thoughts.

Yes, Flora is a saint, but she didn't choose to be one. Although she lives a life of luxury, she has no freedom. Her studies are several times heavier than those of ordinary students, and she has to do several times more work than ordinary workers, yet she cannot enjoy any right to make her own decisions.

Her talent and status destined her to bear responsibilities and pressures that ordinary people could not imagine, but she did not accept this responsibility because she liked it; she simply wanted to help more people.

"This wish seems so simple, why didn't you want to say it before?" Leona asked.

Flora's face flushed even more, and after a long silence, she finally revealed another part of her wish: "...I want to experience this kind of life...with the person I love..."

"Oh, it's me, isn't it?" Abyss calmly pointed to himself.

"Ugh!" Flora let out a groan and buried her face in Rebecca's chest.

Chapter 343 Small Achievements in Love

Flora took a long time to recover, then looked pitifully at Abyss, who stood there without any shame.

“Judging from your reaction, it should be me.” Abyss’s eyes were incredibly serious, as if he were deciding on some momentous matter with Flora. “No problem, I can accompany you the whole time—it’s my responsibility anyway.”

"Hmm..." Flora lowered her head, her fingers twisting together.

"And I like you very much, Flora. Not just a simple liking, but the kind of liking between a man and a woman."

At this moment, Abyss suddenly said, "To be honest, during my adventures with you, I was deeply moved by your kindness and talent for caring for others, and your personal charm also attracted me. I feel very lucky to be loved by such a wonderful girl like you."

"Huh...?" Flora's eyes widened, momentarily at a loss. She never expected Abyss to confess so easily.

Is this still the same Abyss who never thought about being in a relationship?

Or rather, it's not that Abyss didn't want to be in love, but rather that he had too much on his shoulders and prioritized defeating the creator god.

"Wow... that's a bit surprising. I thought Abyss was planning to save all his emotional issues for after the victory," Rebecca exclaimed after a moment of surprise.

Leona stood to the side, her face flushed, wanting to say something but unsure what to say. She was already shocked by Flora's almost confession-like gesture, but Abyss countered with something even more shocking.
