As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Seemingly to show her determination, Abigail made a solemn vow.

“Abby, I believe you. Okay, let’s not talk about this now. Let’s have a good celebration tonight. I’ll go call Sayaka and Nagisa. You can sit down for a while. If you’re hungry, there should be some snacks in the fridge.”

"Okay, go early and come back early!"

As Xiaoyuan spoke, she opened the door and left the cabin.

After Xiaoyuan left, Abigail stood up from her seat, went to the refrigerator, opened it, and sure enough, just as Xiaoyuan had said, there were some snacks inside.

bang bang bang...

"Hmm, Xiaoyuan is back so soon?"

But then I thought about it and realized something wasn't right; Xiaoyuan wouldn't knock if she came back.

With a hint of doubt, Abigail went to the door and opened it.

"Hmm? Um, is Xiaoyuan here?"

"Xiaoyuan isn't here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, it's like this. Xiaoyuan asked me to prepare some cake-making ingredients for him a couple of days ago. Since Xiaoyuan isn't here, I'll leave it to you."

Abigail took a basket from the girl's hands, which contained all sorts of bottles.

"Oh, thank you! I'll tell Xiaoyuan when she gets back."

"Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. We can have a proper chat another time if we have the chance."

After saying that, the girl waved goodbye and turned to leave.

Carrying the basket, Abigail turned and went inside, looking at the ingredients for making the cake.

"By the way, could I use these materials to make something? There's so much of it, I don't think you'd mind using a little bit of Koyo."

Without thinking, Abigail opened the jars.

Chapter 321 The Return of the Gods

Although she wanted to make something, Abigail had never made a cake before.

In her memory, making a cake was simply a matter of beating eggs, then using an egg beater to continuously stir the eggs, then adding flour, sugar, and other seasonings, and finally putting it in the oven to bake.

While her idea wasn't wrong in some ways—and that's all the ingredients you need to make a cake—the steps are very important.

Abigail now has three options: give up, mess around and create some culinary disaster, or try to find the system's recipe.

"Let's see if there are any books that teach how to make cakes."

Abigail walked to the bookshelf next to her, which was filled with all kinds of books. In addition to some normal books, there were some books with strange-sounding names. She didn't know where these books came from.

"found it!"

Abigail found a book on the bookshelf titled "The Cake Making Process".

"Let me see. I need eggs, cake flour, granulated sugar, whole milk, and salad oil."

As she spoke, Abigail searched inside the basket, but found only glass jars.

"This looks like sugar. I'll try it."

Abigail picked out a jar containing pure white crystals from several jars. She stuck her finger in and it was indeed sweet; it was undoubtedly granulated sugar.

Although she had identified the granulated sugar, Abigail was curious about what was in the other jars.

"What's this black thing in the jar?"

Abigail opened the jar directly, then smelled it. There was nothing too strange about it; in fact, it even smelled somewhat pleasant.

"Since they're all ingredients used to make cakes, they should be edible, right?"

After standing on her finger all day, Abigail licked it with her tongue and then stuck out her tongue:

"It tastes so bitter! What is this?!"

Then, Abigail opened the other jars one by one and found that they all seemed to be powders made of some unknown material. Anyway, they all smelled quite nice and tasted pretty good, unlike the first time when she had completely messed up.

"Let me find the other ingredients now. Xiaoyuan's kitchen should have them... Found them! Great, let's get started!"

After placing all the materials on the table, Abigail excitedly began to work.

............

"Xiao Yan, why don't you go and rest for a bit? It's getting dark."

"No need, I'll wait here. I can't let anything go wrong here."

Xiaoyan stood beside the lake, watching Abigail, who seemed to be in some kind of state, in the center of the lake. The number of witches in the sky continued to increase, but these witches did not show any signs of madness. Instead, they floated quietly in the air, looking at Abigail as if waiting for something.

"This phenomenon is truly peculiar. I never expected that the witch, who symbolizes despair and chaos, would display such a calm demeanor."

Qubi lay to the side, gazing at the sky, and seemed to remark with some emotion.

"Little Flame, do you know how much longer it will take Abby to finish? I have a feeling that these bad things are increasing. If they continue to increase, I'm afraid my power will no longer be able to protect my children. When my children come into contact with this aura of madness and despair, I don't know what will happen!"

Compared to Kyubey and Homura, who understood what Abigail was doing, Futus seemed somewhat uneasy. Countless witches drifting in the sky exuded an aura of madness and despair, which seemed out of place in the usually peaceful and serene Fantasy Forest. This made Futus feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Most importantly, she could feel that she was already losing her strength. If things continued like this, the forest would be corrupted. If it were infected by this madness and despair, she didn't know what would happen.

Xiaoyan sensed Futus's worry, but she didn't know what level of power was needed to meet the requirement. She could feel that the combined energy emanating from the witches above the Sky Forest far surpassed the Witch's Night she had faced before. Although eliminating these witches wouldn't be difficult for her now, she couldn't do it.

"Fates, gather your children together, and I will send them to the outside world."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Xiaoyan."

As Futes disappeared, the light emanating from the entire control layer also weakened. When the surrounding light completely faded, the entire Sound of the Void instantly changed its appearance. If it was like a fairy tale wonderland before, it was now like a bizarre and magical realm.

Without Futes' protection, countless strange and bizarre things began to emerge in this abstract area.

"You really do care about them, don't you? You did this to get Futes away from us, didn't you?"

As soon as Cupid finished speaking, countless witches suddenly rioted. A man radiating light appeared in the sky, like a heretic suddenly intruding into a devout gathering place.

And there were more than one such person; one after another, in the blink of an eye, a massive army appeared in the sky—the gods had returned to this land once more.

............

"Abby, I'm back!"

"Excuse me!"

"Excuse me!"

Madoka pushed open the door and walked into the house, and behind her, Sayaka Miki and Nagisa Momoe also walked in.

"Hey, where's Abby?"

Upon entering the house, Xiaoyuan discovered that Abigail was not in the living room. However, there seemed to be some noises coming from the kitchen.

"Abby, what are you doing?"

Xiaoyuan went to the kitchen and found Abigail there, seemingly making something in the oven.

"So, you're thinking of making a cake?"

Following behind Xiaoyan, Sayaka Miki entered the kitchen and, seeing the tools left behind by Abigail, began to tease her.

"Hmph, of course! Although this is my first time making a cake, I'm very confident in it!"

"Abigail, are you baking a cake? Can I eat it?"

"Of course! I made it so you could taste it!"

Ding......

Just then, the oven timer went off.

"Perfect timing. Okay, you guys go outside and sit down first, I'll bring out the cake."

Then everyone sat down at the table outside, and Abigail took the freshly baked cake out of the oven.

"Abigail, is your cake... burnt?"

Looking at the large black cake on the table, Sayaka Miki poked it with a fork and asked.

"Abby, don't be discouraged. You've done very well for the first time."

Xiaoyuan thought so too, and offered some words of comfort to Abigail.

"What are you guys thinking? It's a success, Xiaoyuan. Can't you have a little faith in me? Even if it's my first time, I wouldn't burn the cake. It's just because I had some things in it."

Abigail said with a hint of helplessness.

"Ahem, even if you succeeded in making the cake, judging by this color, I seriously doubt how it tastes. It feels like some kind of culinary disaster that could kill!"

"Tch, eat if you want, no one will force you if you don't."

As Abigail spoke, she cut the cake into several pieces, and then gave one to Little Round first.

"Xiaoyuan, come and try it, I promise it won't taste bad."

"Thank you, Abby."

"Since you put it that way, I'd really like to try your cake and see just how delicious it is. Here, have a piece."

"If you're not happy about it, then I won't give it to you, so you'll look down on me. Here, Nagisa, this is for you."

As she spoke, Abigail placed a piece of cake into Nagisa Hyakue's bowl.

"Thank you, Sister Abigail, I'm starting to eat!"

Seeing that Abigail didn't seem to have any intention of giving her a piece of cake, Sayaka Miki said somewhat indifferently:

"Fine, don't give it to me then. Do you really think I care about your cake? I'll eat the one Xiaoyuan made later."

"Really delicious!"

At this moment, Nagisa Hyakue suddenly said excitedly.

"Abby, I didn't expect your first cake to be so delicious! How did you make it?"

Xiao Yuan asked excitedly as well.

"It can't really be that delicious, can it? Xiaoyuan, you have to tell the truth."

"Yes, it's true. Although the cake itself isn't very smooth, the taste inside is quite unique. It's slightly bitter at first, then it turns into a special sweetness, followed by a sour taste. I've never eaten a cake like this before."
