Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 854 - 855: Confrontation

2/4

However, two weeks later, in the Black Rose family residence in Sabelius, Xiao, sitting in the office, already had dark circles under his eyes and was sitting in front of his desk with a haggard face. Floating beside him was the equally exhausted and weary Shuoyue.

It was evident that two weeks had passed, and they still had nothing. Let alone finding Yumo, they hadn’t even obtained a single clue about her whereabouts.

At this moment, not only Shuoyue but even Xiao himself was somewhat doubting his life as he stared at the large continental map on the desk.

"No, no, no, it’s impossible. Why can’t we find her? No, it shouldn’t be like this."

"Xiao, can we really find Mommy like this?"

Shuoyue, who had lost her initial confidence after two weeks of sleepless searching, timidly tugged on Xiao’s sleeve.

"No, don’t worry, Miss Shuoyue."

After taking a deep breath, Xiao frantically shook his head, brushing away the confusion on his face.

"This is just temporary. We have just gained control of Holy Lomari, and our control over it is not deep yet. Once we fully control its administrative organs, we will definitely be able to find Lady Yumo! Yes, definitely. Lady Yumo won’t have counter-surveillance measures, so we will definitely find her!"

"Re-really?"

Shuoyue asked with some doubt.

"Really!!"

Xiao, who seemed to have completed his self-hypnosis, clenched his fists and said with full confidence.

"Believe me! Once the full mobilization begins, we will find Lady Yumo in about six weeks!"

...

Of course, at this time, Xiao did not know how big of a red flag he had just raised.

Because, even six years later, they will not find that rebellious mommy who had run away from home...

...

As the Black Rose family went all out, the continent, which had just experienced the Holy War, once again surged with undercurrents. Under the coercion of the Black Rose family’s powerful strength, various forces were fully mobilized. Even those underground world members who didn’t meddle in politics participated in this grand search operation due to the Black Rose’s might.

Although the general public didn’t know exactly what had happened, they could vaguely sense the crazy undercurrents surging around them. The frequently mobilized troops, the all-out deployment of intelligence organizations, and the unusually active underground world all gave the people an indescribable sense of oppression.

For a while, a sense of unease began to gradually envelop the entire continent.

However, just as the Black Rose, the Demon King little ones, and the Asumos Church believers were sparing no effort to search the world, the culprit behind all this, the target of the search, Miss Yumo, was already in a certain quiet place.

And her consciousness once again entered that pitch-black mental space.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Yumo decided to resolve this major problem in one go.

Although the surrounding world was pitch-black, Yumo, who had transformed into a consciousness, still clearly knew her direction and stepped forward step by step.

Soon, a white-gold door engraved with unknown ancient golden characters and filled with a murderous aura appeared before Yumo.

Without hesitation, Yumo quickly pushed the door open.

As a gray-white light entered her eyes, a world of gray desert filled with an atmosphere of death suddenly appeared before Yumo’s eyes.

Almost the moment Yumo’s little feet touched the sandy ground, a cold and slightly mocking female voice faintly entered Yumo’s ears:

—"Oh? Isn’t this the little fool? Why did you suddenly come to find me? Are you here to surrender?"—

"..."

As these words entered her ears, Yumo’s brows instantly furrowed.

No matter what, she still didn’t want to be called a fool by this idiot.

Really, do you have the right to call me a fool all day long?

Sigh…

Of course, Miss Yumo didn’t come to argue this time; she came to negotiate.

Therefore, taking a deep breath, Yumo stabilized her inner self and didn’t choose to retort against the other party. Instead, she slowly spoke with a pleading tone:

"I say, can’t you just behave a little? Don’t try to run out and cause trouble every time I’m not paying attention. Thanks to you, my well-planned airship travel plan was ruined."

However, the polite tone was of no use, and the contemptuous female voice still came from the desert.

"Hmph, serves you right."

"You... What does it take for you to settle down a bit?"

"It’s simple. You give me control of the body. Once I kill all those troublesome fellows, especially that chosen one, I’ll settle down."

"Please, can you stop talking about killing all day long? Can’t we coexist a little more harmoniously? And Mengxi has no hostility towards us. Can’t you stop thinking about killing her?"

"Ridiculous. We are the Lord of the Abyss. Eliminating those trash is our duty! I’m not as foolish as you, fantasizing about peaceful coexistence every day and even being easily deceived into bed by the Girl of Destiny, even directly indulging in that girl’s gentle bosom."

"I don’t fantasize every day either..."

Yumo tried to refute, but the consciousness wandering in the desert didn’t want to give Yumo a chance to speak. Offensive words poured out incessantly.

"Hehe, I really don’t understand. You fool? Do you still have any semblance of the Abyssal Lord? You’re simply the shame of the Abyss. Not only are you led by the nose by the Goddess, but you also think about playing house with humans every day. It’s terrifyingly naive~ Someone as foolish, naive, guileless, and weak as you is actually one with me? Hehe, it really makes me feel embarrassed."

"You..."

Listening to the other party’s continuous words, Yumo’s patience gradually reached its limit, and a mighty anger ignited in her crimson eyes.

Yumo was quite self-aware.

She was well aware that she lacked social experience and was just a simple building with over five hundred years of memories. At the same time, she was also soft-hearted and not very good at strategy. In Yumo’s view, apart from her strength, she had nothing to do with the word "final boss".

Even Yumo herself would occasionally mock herself in her mind.

However, although these were all facts, why did she feel so unhappy when this fellow said them?

"I say..."

Finally, Yumo, who could no longer endure it, coldly swept her gaze around:

"Do you have the right to criticize me? You say I’m foolish, but you don’t seem to be much smarter either? Hey, tell me, which renowned Abyssal Lord, despite having the upper hand, was deceived by the Girl of Destiny and instantly overturned on the spot? And then was bitterly sealed back again? Huh? Who was it? It seems to be you, the big smarty, right?"

"Hah?!!"

"Hehe, I think you’re the naive one. Not only that, you say I’m weak? You’re the weak one, right? Who was it that, after being tricked by Mengxi, directly curled up in the little black room and secretly cried? Crying like a willow in the rain, so pitiful~ You claimed to be the awe-inspiring almighty Lord of the Abyss, but in the end, you’re just a little crybaby. Oh, right, you even cried in my arms for a long time back then~~."

"?!!"

"By the way, who was it that, while crying in my arms, shouted and screamed things like ’I can’t accept it~’, ’I’ll definitely get revenge next time’, and so on~. Who was it? Who was it again? Tell me tell me~"

As Yumo’s words continued to pour out, the cold sarcasm and ridicule that had been floating from all directions suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

After a moment of eerie silence, this desert-like space began to tremble constantly.

It was evident that under Yumo’s verbal counterattack, the ruler of this consciousness space was slightly broken.

As the saying goes, when a person can’t hold it in, they often can’t hold it in.

Even the cruel and bloodthirsty Lord of the Abyss was no exception.

Finally, a certain Abyssal Lord, who was hiding in the dark with a flushed face and red ears, couldn’t take it anymore and hysterically threatened Yumo:

——"You, you, you, you, you!! You, you baka!! if you, if you keep talking nonsense?! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll fight you to death!!!"——
