Ch. 1171: Chapter 1171-1180

Chapter 1171 An Outer God’s Definition of Victory [Part 1]

The night passed without any incidents as both sides rested for the inevitable clash that was bound to happen once the sun rose from the East.

This development made the leaders of the different factions uneasy.

They had prepared themselves for a sneak attack during the night, but the Abyssal Lords didn't do such a thing.

"What do you think?" King Azza asked Keoza, who was looking towards the West where the Abyssal Fortress was.

"I can only think of three things," Keoza replied.

"Three things?" King Azza arched an eyebrow.

Keoza nodded. "The first reason why they didn't attack is because they might be very confident that no matter what we do, we will not be able to break past their defenses.

"The second reason is because, just like us, they might be analyzing their opponent's strength while looking for weaknesses."

"Last but not the least, they might simply be buying time."

King Azza frowned after hearing the third reason.

"Buying time?" King Azza asked. "Buying time for what?"

Keoza shrugged because he also had no idea what their enemies were thinking. He was only supposed to give two reasons, but he said the third reason that had been nagging at his mind for quite some time.

He believed that the Outer God thought differently and didn't view victory and defeat the way they did.

This was evident when he heard that Nyarlathotep had ordered his clone to detonate itself in Agartha by absorbing the Abyssal Army in order to strengthen his attack.

The complete disregard for the well-being of his allies was something that made the Outer God unpredictable.

As long as he was able to reach his goal, he didn't care what method he used to achieve it. This kind of enemy was very dangerous to face because one could never predict what they would do.

"Well, it's no use worrying about these things," King Azza commented. "Our goal remains the same."

Keoza nodded because this was indeed the case.

Exactly an hour later, the flying fleet of the Alliance was once again mobilized and began to advance in the direction of the Abyssal Fortress.

They had created a strategy that they believed had a very high chance of success.

When they were only fifteen miles away from their targets, the Main Canons of the Floating Island of Heaven's Gate unleashed a barrage of Nuclear-Level Blast Bombs.

Nyarlathotep, who had sensed the approach of these weapons of mass destruction sneered before lifting his index finger.

"Mortals are really stupid," Nyarlathotep said in disdain. "They will only realize their mistakes when they blow up right in front of their faces."

The Outer God activated the barrier that protected the Abyssal Fortress. His plan was the same as what he did yesterday.

Since their enemy wanted to die so badly using their own weapons, he was more than happy to send it back to them.

However, just as the Blast Bombs were about to hit the barrier, all of them detonated at the same time.

An eruption like no other shook the entire battlefield, causing an earthquake with the Abyssal Fortress as its epicenter.

A mushroom cloud rose up in the sky, making the leaders of the Alliance have solemn looks on their faces.

The one and only Mythical Guild in the world had only made themselves known during the Abyssal Invasion.

And yet, the power that they possessed surprised not only the Dragon King but also the rest of the members of the Alliance.

Keoza was the only one who wasn't too surprised by this outcome because he had been with Lux for a very long time.

"Prepare the second bombardment," the Oracle of the Divine Army commanded. Great General Garret raised his hand, signaling that the second round of destruction be unleashed.

The Main Cannons roared in fury as they once again sent a payload that was enough to obliterate an entire kingdom.

But, this time, something changed.

From within the dark smoke that covered everyone's vision, countless spells flared up. Their intention was simple.

They wanted to destroy the Blast Bombs before they could come near their Fortress again.

Maeve sneered before waving her hand.

The Blast Bombs then moved according to her command, evading the spells and attacks that were unleashed to destroy them.

All of the Blast Bombs were coated by Maeve's Power, giving her the ability to control and detonate them with a thought.

This was the strategy that the Alliance had come up with during their meeting, which they deemed would force the Abyssal Army to react to their long-distance barrage.

After seeing that their attacks weren't hitting their targets, the Abyssal Lords immediately scattered, flying in different directions in order to save themselves from the explosions that would follow afterward.

As someone who had experienced the same suffering in the past, Maeve truly knew what it meant to have one of these Nuclear-Level Blast Bombs explode right in front of someone's face.

An explosion that was more powerful than the first, rocked the surroundings.

The Abyssal Lords who were not able to escape the range of the blast used their strongest defensive abilities to protect themselves from the brunt of its might.

Some were able to escape and only suffered from minor injuries.

However, a handful weren't too lucky, and they were vaporized by the concentrated might of the Blast Bombs that detonated at the same time.

"Prepare the Third Bombardment!" Maeve shouted.

However, this time, something happened that caught them by surprise.

Right under the formation of the floating islands, several giant tentacles emerged from the ground.

These tentacles then extended themselves to grab hold of some of the flying ships, which weren't flying too high.

Just as they thought that these tentacles would pull them down to the ground, smaller tentacles branched out from the giant tentacles and opened up like flowers.

Hiding within the tentacles were countless Abyssal Monsters, who immediately boarded the flying ships, and engaged the Alliance in combat.

Some of the Giant Tentacles unleashed countless flying Abyssal Monsters, which flew towards the floating islands with the intention of causing as much destruction as possible.

The abominations that they had seen a day ago were also part of the invading forces.

This time, these alien-like creatures had wings protruding from their backs, and laughed in a creepy manner, making the hearts of those who heard it shudder.

Chapter 1172 An Outer God’s Definition of Victory [Part 2]

The Dragons and the Dragon Borns unleashed their breath attacks at the Giant Tentacles, destroying them from the root.

But the more they destroyed, the more tentacles rose from the ground to replace them.

"We will deal with the tentacles," the Sovereign of Memento Mori stated. "All of you focus on the Abyssal Monsters."

As soon as he finished saying those words, two beams of black light descended from the Bone Fortress of Memento Mori and landed on the ground.

A moment later, the seven-headed monster, Teju Jagua, and the Calamity Boar, Ao Ao, appeared.

They were two of the Seven Stars of Calamity that were under Memento Mori's control.

The seven-headed dog, Teju Jagua, unleashed seven breath attacks, targeting one Giant Tentacle each.

Ao Ao squealed in anger before charging toward the Tentacles in a straight line.

Its entire body was covered in blazing flames, igniting everything in its path. Some of the tentacles tried to wrap around the Boar's body, but soon, these tentacles were burned until nothing was left.

Teju Jagua didn't have the ability to cover his entire body with flames to protect itself from the tentacles.

However, there was no need for it. Standing on each of its heads were Necromancers from Memento Mori, who dealt with the tentacles that tried to wrap around its body.

But just as things seemed to be finally under their control, over a hundred Abyssal Lords appeared and unleashed their strongest attacks, not caring whether they hit friend or foe.

Hundreds of flying ships were instantly destroyed by this surprise attack, making King Azza and Keoza immediately intercept their enemies.

Lady Augustina, the Beast King, as well as the other Supremes of the Alliance, also joined the battle.

They couldn't afford to hold back because a hundred Abyssal Lords were more than enough to wipe out their entire fleet.

There were only seventy Supremes in the Alliance, while the rest were made up of Saints.

The Pseudo-Supremes of the Divine Army of Light, as well as the Seven Stars of Calamity by Memento Mori, somewhat evened up the odds, but everyone knew that they were still greatly outclassed by their enemies.

To make matters worse, Nyarlathotep had also made its appearance on the battlefield, and the first thing it attacked wasn't the main fleet of the alliance.

No.

It specifically targeted the lone floating island at the very rear of the formation, which was responsible for the destruction that had destroyed half of the Abyssal Fortress, forcing Nyarlathotep to initiate a strong counter-offensive.

Keoza, who could tell what the Outer God was planning to do, cursed internally as he tried to go towards the Floating Island of Heaven's Gate.

However, his way was blocked by two Abyssal Lords, preventing him from going to their rescue.

Nyarlathotep's order was simple.

The Abyssal Lords were to engage the forces of the Alliance while it personally dealt with the most annoying pest that had gotten on its nerves.

The countless cannons on the floating island roared to life and attacked the Outer God with everything they had.

Unfortunately, Nyarlathotep was simply too fast, and too agile to be hit, evading the defensive bombardment that was trying to prevent it from reaching its target.

A few minutes later, the Outer God landed on top of the floating island and looked in the direction of Great General Garret, whose face had turned grim after seeing Nyarlathotep face to face. "Playtime's over, mortals," Nyarlathotep said in a teasing tone. "Now, how do you all want to die, hmm?"

The Outer God saw something out of the corner of its eye, stopping it from whatever it was going to say next.

A little girl with long blue hair, wearing a pirate hat, could be seen standing in the distance, with her hands resting on her waist.

"Peekaabo," Eiko said. "I see you."

At that exact moment, a giant beam of light fired from behind Eiko.

Nyarlathotep's first thought was to dodge as fast as it could, but it was unable to move from its spot as if it was frozen in place.

The Outer God didn't even have time to scream as its entire body was vaporized by Poseidon's main cannon, leaving nothing behind.

The Giant Bone ship then materialized out of thin air, making everyone in the Alliance gasp in surprise.

They weren't aware that Heaven's Gate had another Trump Card up their sleeve, which was none other than the Pirate Fairy Princess, who had come to join the battle as well.

With her Golden Anchor, Eiko made Poseidon invisible using the water droplets in the air to act like mirrors, reflecting the surroundings.

She returned to the floating island under the cover of darkness with the intention of helping the Alliance in her Papa's place.

Avery, her right-hand man, was also a strategist, and he advised Eiko to hide Poseidon first so that they would have the element of surprise during the battle.

Their plan paid off, and Nyarlathotep died without even being able to escape the Bone Ship's main cannon.

When the Abyssal Lords saw that their leader had died, they all destroyed the teleportation crystals that they were carrying and vanished instantly from the battlefield.

The Calamity-Ranked Monsters did the same and escaped the battlefield, leaving the low-ranking Abyssal Monsters to fend for themselves.

Having been abandoned, these Abyssal Monsters entered a berserk state and no longer cared for survival.

The only thought in their minds was to bring as many enemies with them to the afterlife just as Nyarlathotep had instructed.

"Too bad, what we killed was merely a clone," Avery muttered as he gazed at the Abyssal Fortress in the distance. "This Outer God sure knows how to play it safe."

Eiko nodded her head before ordering Poseidon to help the Alliance by using its smaller cannons to deal with the Abyssal Legion that was left to fend for themselves.

She knew that it was only a matter of time before the enemy's forces were decimated, but in order to lower the casualties, she decided to intervene and help save the lives of others. ————————

Meanwhile, within the Abyssal Fortress…

Nyarlathotep was very annoyed because Eiko had killed its last remaining clone on the battlefield.

It had two other clones, but they had been sent to other locations in order to do something important.

The Outer God could not create any more clones because it had already reached the limit of what it could create with the vessel it possessed.

"Retreat," Nyarlathotep commanded. "We will go with Plan B."

After saying those words, the entire Abyssal Fortress liquefied into a giant slime.

This slime then shrank until it was only the size of a school bus before fleeing farther West at great speeds.

Nyarlathotep might have lost its first line of defense, but the war was far from over.

Even so, it burned the image of the annoying little girl in its head, for she had interfered with its plans twice in a row.

"Enjoy your victory while you still can." Nyarlathotep sneered as it escaped towards its second base. "The one who will have the last laugh will be none other than me. You fools are just playing on the palm of my hands."

Yes, Nyarlathotep didn't take this loss to heart because it knew that it would be the one who would win in the end.

The victory that mortals sought was different from the victory that it had envisioned.

When the Alliance finally realized what the Outer God was truly planning to do, it would already be too late for them to do anything about it.

Chapter 1173 Waking Up To A Living Nightmare [Part 1]

Somewhere in Elysium, the Sovereign of the Divine Army looked at the countless Apostles that were currently inside cylindrical containers filled with a green liquid.

The Golden Scales in his hand glowed faintly, as the power of its Divinity seeped inside their bodies.

The hands of the scales slowly tipped to one side, signaling that the ceremony was over.

'How many must we sacrifice, for us to win this war,' the Sovereign of the Divine Army thought as he looked at the teenagers, who slept inside the containers.

They were young men and women who had made the choice to fight, knowing that what awaited them in the end was certain death.

The Sovereign sighed for the umpteenth time.

Thousands of Apostles joined the Founder of the Divine Army to fight against the war of the Abyss.

If given enough time, thousands more would follow them afterwards.

He had stayed behind in order to continue the Apostle Project. This was the Divine Army's strategy in order to win a fight of attrition against those that had decided to invade their world.

Memento Mori had chosen a similar path. However, instead of sacrificing others, they chose to awaken the creatures that once threatened to destroy Elysium itself.

The Seven Stars of Calamity. The Seven Monsters, who, if fought side by side, could make Kingdoms and Empires fall one after the other.

Unfortunately, Memento Mori was unable to bring all seven of them onto the battlefield.

Two of them had to stay and protect the World Tree, as well as the non-combatants of the Alliance.

Currently, only five of these powerful beasts, including Teju Jagua and Ao Ao, had been deployed on the battlefield.

Nyarlathotep and the Alliance clashed many times since the Outer God had decided to retreat, pushing the Alliance to head further west.

"This is a good thing because as long as the Outer God is pushed back, it will have no time to set its sights on other matters… is what you stupid mortals thought, right?"

The expression of the Sovereign of the Divine Army turned grim as their Underground Headquarters started to shake.

He immediately activated the artifact that would allow him to talk to their Founder and ask for assistance.

Unfortunately, the artifact in his hand remained unresponsive, which made his eyes widen in shock.

"The Golden Scales of Eternity."

"A sacrifice to tip the balance."

"The weight of morality on one side, the scales of depravity on the other."

"A delicate balance. A miraculous chance. Holding the life and death of others, similar to an eternal dance."

The sound of thousands of crystals breaking reverberated in the surroundings as the barrier that protected the Underground Headquarters finally shattered.

The Sovereign of the Divine Army roared, and raised the scales in his hand, protecting himself, as well as the countless unsung heroes, who were sleeping inside their containers, waiting for the right time to open their eyes.

A loud explosion erupted, and a moment later, a crystal dome emerged from the ground and rose towards the sky.

The Sovereign of the Divine Army glared at the Outer God, who had miraculously found his hiding place, which was tens of thousands of miles away from the battlefield in the Western Region of the world.

"How?" the Sovereign asked. "How?" Nyarlathotep asked in a teasing tone. "Such a silly thing to ask."

The Outer God then pointed at the Golden Scales that the old man was holding in his hands and smirked.

"As long as you hold the Pillar of Eternity in your hands, I will be able to find you," Nyarlathotep stated. "It doesn't matter if you hide in the deepest corner of this world. The moment you activated its power, your fate was already sealed."

"I see." The Sovereign then summoned a scepter in his hand. "This fight is inevitable then."

"Right." Nyarlathotep nodded. "Have you tried to ask for reinforcements?"

"Don't ask a question that you already know the answer to?" the Sovereign replied.

"Indeed. Such a waste of time. I guess this is where our little talk ends."

"…"

The Sovereign of the Divine Army then activated the power of the Pillar of Eternity, making his entire body turn golden.

A giant golden statue, holding a sword and shield, materialized behind the Old Man as he faced off against the Outer God, who had snuffed out his hiding place.

"Hah~ it's really annoying when old farts like you don't give up," Nyarlathotep said in a teasing tone. "It would save us a lot of time if you just offered your head, so I can give you a quick and painless death."

"The one who will be dying here is you, Outer God," the Sovereign replied. "You do not belong in our world."

"Very well." Nyarlathotep chuckled. "At least, don't bore me too much, okay?"

The Outer God then snapped its fingers.

A dark purple portal then appeared above his head and, from that portal, over a Hundred Abyssal Lords emerged.

All of them sneered at the Old Man, who was left all alone to fend for himself.

The Golden Giant glowed faintly, and absorbed the Apostles inside his body. They were currently in a very fragile state, and a stray attack from the Demigods could annihilate all of them at the same time.

Despite being surrounded by the High-Ranking Forces of the Abyssal Army, the Sovereign of the Divine Army stood on the shoulder of the Golden Giant, with a resolute look in his eyes.

"Come, Outer God," the Sovereign stated. "I will send you and your cronies back to the Abyss."

An amused chuckle reverberated in the surroundings as Nyarlathotep gave the order to attack.

"What kind of delusional sweet dream are you having, Mortal?" Nyarlathotep asked. "I guess it's time for you to wake up into a living nightmare."

Raising the Golden Scales high over his head, the Sovereign commanded the Golden Giant to attack. The Golden Scales was a very strong Divine Artifact. But, it wasn't meant for direct confrontations.

Its purpose was to create powerful soldiers, who would fight and overwhelm their enemies in a battle of attrition.

The Golden Giant was its only means of attack. Although it was strong, it was alone, just like the Old Man, who was facing over a Hundred Demigods all at once.

 

Chapter 1174 Waking Up To A Living Nightmare [Part 2]

Half an hour later, the Sovereign of one of the strongest organizations in the world, finally drew his last breath. The battle lasted longer than Nyarlathotep expected. The Outer God thought that they would be able to kill the old man in a short period of time, but the latter fought tooth and nail, without even trying to escape.

Even with such overwhelming disparity in numbers, the Sovereign of the Divine Army was able to kill thirty Demigods before he finally died.

Nyarlathotep didn't care for the deaths of its subordinates, and simply took the Golden Scales from the dead man's hand and activated its ability.

The Demigods who had died in battle, including the dead Sovereign, transformed into golden abominations, empowered by its Divinity.

All of them looked exactly the same, which made the surviving Demigods unable to tell which of them were the comrades they knew in the past.

After being changed into abominations, and imbued with the power of the Golden Scales, all of their strength rose to the peak of the Demigod Rank.

The Golden Statue that the Sovereign had summoned lay on the ground, cracked in several places. It had fought valiantly, but it couldn't stop the inevitable. With a wave of Nyarlathotep's hands, the chest of the Giant shattered, and the dome that protected the Apostles emerged.

A devilish laugh emerged from Nyarlathotep's lips as the Golden Scales in his hand turned black.

The Apostles sleeping inside their cylindrical containers started to squirm in their sleep as if they were having a bad dream.

Half a minute later, their containers shattered and from them emerged several horrifying abominations with countless eyes and tentacles protruding from their bodies.

These abominations also turned golden in color, similar to the Demigods that the Outer God had raised from the dead a mere moment ago.

"One down," Nyarlathotep sneered. "One more to go."

Nyarlathotep then walked towards the portal in order to go to his next battlefield.

The Golden Abominations and the Demigods followed behind him. They didn't know where they were going next, but one thing was clear.

The Outer God was now in possession of one of the Pillars of Eternity.

He was already very powerful, but with the Divine Artifact in his hand, he became more horrifying.

The portal only closed when the last Demigod finally entered inside of it, leaving behind the destroyed Headquarters of the Divine Army, which their Organization believed to be the safest place in the world of Elysium. —————————

Western Region of Elysium…

The battle between the Abyss and the Alliance was in full swing.

Nyarlathotep didn't send any of his Demigods out to fight against the Alliance, and simply ordered the Calamity-Ranked Abyssal Monsters to cast long distance spells to harass their enemy's formation.

Although they were weaker than Demigods, their attacks were nothing to scoff at.

Because of this, the Alliance was forced into a defensive formation, with the floating islands belonging to the Crystal Palace, flying in the lead.

Keoza unleashed his powers, and tanked the attacks that were headed in their direction, keeping his allies safe.

However, what made the Heads of the Alliance frown was that the magical bombardment seemed unending.

It was as if the Calamity Ranked Monsters had an unlimited supply of Mana, empowering their spells that could obliterate dozens of flying ships without Keoza's protection.

The return fire of the alliance was also brutal, taking the lives of countless calamity-ranked monsters.

However, due to Nyarlathotep's ability to raise them into Abominations, the battle had reached a stalemate.

The Alliance couldn't push forward, and the Abyssal Forces weren't letting them gain any ground.

Eiko had left the battlefield and returned to the Ford Federation.

Her trump card was still not ready, and she needed to be there to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

She had been with the Alliance earlier, but Nyarlathotep had continued to flee after engaging them for a period of time.

The Outer God was using Guerrilla tactics against them, using the Giant Black Tentacles to move its forces anywhere in the terrain, and unleashing a bombardment of attacks in the blind spots of the Alliance.

Also, Eiko could feel that something wasn't right.

Because of this, she prioritized creating her strongest Creature, using the Giant Bone Cauldron.

It had already been more than a week since the Bone Cauldron started to create the Monster. However, whatever it was cooking, it was taking a very long time for it to be ready.

Eiko didn't know what kind of Monster would appear, but given the fact that it possessed Ten Demigod Cores in its body, it would definitely be a force to reckon with.

This was why she needed to return, and ensure that her new subordinate would be born safely, and left the Alliance to fight the sly Outer God, who chose its battle very well.

———————————

Somewhere in the Ford Federation…

"Still not done?" Eiko asked the Giant Bone Cauldron as she fed her pet Sea Otter, which she named, Lucky, with a cookie. "This Monster is a bit special," the Bone Cauldron replied. "I cannot rush its creation."

Eiko nodded as she continued to feed Lucky, who was just a month-old sea otter.

She had found him as an egg, as she and Fei Fei were scouring the oceans for Demigod Cores.

The egg was frozen in ice, and was located at a very desolate place, bereft of anything.

Avery even commented that the egg was already hundreds of years old, and shouldn't have survived after being trapped in ice.

However, to his surprise, Eiko just sat on top of the egg for an entire day before it hatched.

Because of this, the Baby Slime decided to name the baby Sea Otter, Lucky.

It was only due to pure luck that it managed to be birthed, despite the situation it found itself in.

Fei Fei also took care of the Sea Otter whenever Eiko was away, making the baby Monster treat the Baby Golden Slime like a caring older sister.

"Avery, what do you think?" Eiko asked her Vice Captain. "About the war?" Avery inquired.

"Mmm."

"I have a feeling that the Outer God is just buying time. It's like it is luring the Alliance farther, and farther away from the center of the continent."

Eiko nodded. She also felt that something was amiss, so she decided to stay away from the battlefield for the time being.

However, just as she was about to feed Lucky another cookie, a portal appeared hundreds of meters away from Poseidon.

Avery immediately sensed the power of the Outer God, and immediately stood between Eiko, and the enemy, who was supposed to be fighting against the combined might of the Alliance.

"Peekaboo, I see you," Nyarlathotep sneered as it and the Demigods appeared to surround the Giant Bone Ship that was far out into the sea.

The Outer God laughed after finally cornering the little pest that had been getting in its way. "You've messed with my plans long enough," Nyarlathotep stated. "Time for you to die."

With that, it signaled its force to attack the Baby Slime, who was still holding a cookie in her hand to feed to the Sea Otter who had started to cry.

Chapter 1175 Am I A Joke To You?

The Sea Otter, Lucky, started crying because the cookie that the Baby Slime was about to feed it stopped mid-air.

Eiko broke out of her daze and finally resumed feeding the Sea Otter, who ate the cookie with tears still in its eyes.

Poseidon had deployed its barrier, preventing the attacks of the Demigod from reaching them.

"You're still acting so carefree despite the fact that you're surrounded," Nyarlathotep said in a teasing tone. "Am I a joke to you?"

"Yes," Eiko briefly replied before looking back at the leader of the Abyssal Lords.

"Forget about dying a swift death." Nyarlathotep sneered. "I'm going to enjoy killing you slowly." Clearly, the Outer God was annoyed by Eiko's total disregard for it. Although Nyarlathotep's forces completely surrounded the Baby Slime, leaving her no path to escape, Eiko didn't show any signs of fear whatsoever.

It was at that moment when the sea under Poseidon started to churn.

Those who didn't live near coastal waters would typically be unaware of the phenomenon that occurred when countless fish jumped crazily at the surface of the water, making it look like the sea was boiling.

This would usually happen right before an earthquake hit or something drastic was about to happen, forcing the fish to rise up to the surface of the water.

This same scene was currently happening under Poseidon, which caught the Demigods' eyes.

"Why do you think we're so far out in the sea?" Avery asked with a look of disdain on his face. "I'll tell you why. It's because this is the safest place in Elysium for our Princess."

Countless Calamity-Ranked Sea Monsters and dozens of Deep Sea Demigods rose up from the waters and engaged the Abyssal Lords who were attacking Poseidon.

Eiko had made preparations in advance and asked the powerful Denizens of the Sea to stand guard at her side as she completed the creation of her strongest Creature.

They all answered her call, for they instinctively knew that she was fighting for the sake of their world.

Faced with tens of thousands of Sea Monsters, all Calamity-Ranked and above, the look of disdain on Nyarlathotep's face disappeared, replaced with utter shock.

"Argh!"

One of the Demigods was slapped from the sky by a giant tentacle belonging to the Kraken.

It was one of the Demigods of the Sea, and it usually stayed tens of thousands of miles under the ocean.

Another tentacle rose up to wrap itself around the body of another Demigod, and this time, it came from a Colossal Squid, whose giant eyes locked on the foe who dared to act arrogant in their Domain.

Countless Hydro Balls from the Calamity Ranked Monsters blasted the Demigods away from Poseidon.

Although they tried to fight back, they were pushed back a second time by Poseidon's Cannons, which were now fully charged and ready to kill.

A gigantic beam of light exploded from the tip of Poseidon's Main Cannon, headed for the Outer God, who thought that it had cornered them. Nyarlathotep was then forced to evade and distance itself from Poseidon's Wrath, who unleashed an artillery strike that was solely aimed in the bastard's direction.

It didn't even care about the other Demigods because the Denizens of the Oceans were more than enough to deal with them.

It only wanted one thing, and that was to kill Nyarlathotep and end its evil once and for all.

Although the Nyarlathotep that was fighting Eiko was only a clone, it still possessed some of the Outer God's abilities.

However, even with them, it was unable to come up with a strategy to get near the Bone Ship, whose attacks were growing fiercer with each passing minute.

The Abominations that were new under the Outer God's control weren't meant for a battle in the ocean.

When Nyarlathotep summoned them, they would simply fall into the sea and be massacred by the countless Beasts that were out for blood.

Ten of the Demigods under his command fell in battle, but just before Nyarlathotep was about to revive them, countless bony hands shot out from the Giant Bone Cauldron that was hovering above Poseidon's deck, grabbing hold of the dead Abyssal Lords and dragging them into its depths.

"Retreat!" Nyarlathotep commanded.

The surviving Demigods didn't even need his orders to retreat, for they already deemed that their situation was hopeless.

All of them were already flying toward the portal in the sky, which was the only way to escape the slaughterhouse set up by Eiko, who already expected that something like this would happen.

After licking the Demigod Core, she had gained the ability to ask the Denizens of the Seas and Oceans who were the same Rank as her to heed her call.

When Lux became a Supreme, Eiko also had an upgrade, allowing her to call out to the Demigods of the Sea and ask them for help.

The Seas and Oceans of Elysium were generally unexplored regions.

The entire world was covered with water, so it was natural for the waters to have as many Demigods in it as there were Supremes on land.

These monsters, who had stayed out of the way of those who lived on land, usually stayed in their own Underwater Kingdoms.

However, without rising to the surface, they could feel that their world was in grave danger, so when Eiko asked for their help, they answered her call and lent her their strength.

Nyarlathotep also chose to escape to fight another day. But just like what happened to its clone when it tried to attack the floating island of Heaven's Gate, its body suddenly froze mid-air, unable to move a muscle.

A second later, a giant beam of light hit the Outer God directly, vaporizing its body, and leaving nothing behind.

At that moment, somewhere in the Western Regions of Elysium, Nyarlathotep roared in anger.

"Again?!" Nyarlathotep couldn't help but smash the armrest of its throne, shattering it completely. Never had it experienced such anger since the day it had left the Abyss to join the invading forces headed for Elysium.

It was the same Blue Slime who had gotten in its way the last time, and for this reason, Nyarlathotep had moved Eiko to the top of its kill list.

 

Chapter 1176 A Darkness That Belonged Only To Her

It took the Outer God five minutes to finally regain its composure.

'Fortunately, all is not lost,' Nyarlathotep said as it looked at the Black Scales of Eternity that covered its hand. All of Nyarlathotep's clones were connected to it, so anything that belonged to them also belonged to it.

When they died, their skills, abilities, and anything in their possession would return to it, including the Pillar of Eternity that was now in its hands.

"I'll let you live a little while longer," Nyarlathotep said hatefully. "I have one last clone, but it is enough to continue with my plan."

As much as the Outer God wanted to take the Golden Anchor from Eiko, allowing him to have a hold over two Pillars of Eternity, it was unable to do that at this time.

Even if its real body were to return to where the Baby Slime was currently at, it would be unable to unleash its full strength.

It still didn't know how Eiko was able to momentarily hold its body in place and kill it with Poseidon's overwhelming beam attack.

For the time being, it didn't plan on attacking the Baby Slime until it figured out the trick she was using against it.

Since it was no longer in the mood to play with the Alliance, it once again decided to retreat, heading further West.

Nyarlathotep would make its stand at its last stronghold, waiting for its last clone to finish the last step for its preparation.

As long as its clone succeeded in its task, it would be able to wash away all its losses and finally turn the situation around, making the entirety of the world submit to its will.

"The Outer God is retreating!" One of the Dragon Borns shouted when the countless waves of Abominations started to retreat like a tide.

The sound of countless cheers reverberated in the surroundings, thinking that they had once again emerged victorious in battle.

Even so, the leaders of the Alliance, especially the Founder of the Divine Army of Light, couldn't help but think that something was very wrong with their victory.

They had prepared a strategy to prevent the massive loss of lives on their side, and they had succeeded in implementing it.

However, they couldn't shake the feeling that their victory was hollow.

It was as if they didn't win because of their own efforts, but because Nyarlathotep decided to call it quits and fight another day.

Of course, they had no reason to believe that it was true because it was only a feeling.

Even so, they didn't say anything, not wanting to possibly dampen the morale of the members of the Alliance, who were cheering for their second victory.

————————————

Meanwhile, in Espoir Frieden…

Valerie sat on a swing while lightly rubbing her abdomen. There was yet to be a noticeable bump to it, which would have shown that she was pregnant.

But she could feel it.

She could feel the life growing inside of her.

For some reason, she didn't feel scared. In fact, she felt as if she had been born to give birth to the child in her womb.

Ali and Ari were right beside her, paying close attention to the faint smile on their Mistress' face.

"Can you tell me more about him, Ari?" Valerie asked her handmaiden, who still remembered the father of her child.

"I've told you all I know about him, Valerie," Ari replied helplessly. "But if you really want to know, I will tell you the things that only I know about him."

Valerie nodded happily as she waited for Ari to tell her the things that she still hadn't told her about Lux.

Ali's ears also perked up because, according to her sister, she held a very special place in Lux's heart as well.

Ari even said that, out of all of the Dragons who were part of Lux's harem, he treated Ali differently, and she treated him with a different kind of love that was unique only to her.

Ten minutes later, Valerie's and Ali's faces had become as red as tomatoes after Ari finished talking.

"There's more where that came from." Ari patted her chest with a smile. "Just so you know, Lux and I are very adventurous. We tried many things, and each time, he would teach me something new. It made me realize how lacking my knowledge was when it came to the arts of lovemaking."

"A-Ari, are you sure you're telling the truth?" Valerie asked as the redness of her face became a shade deeper. "Does he make you do all of those things?"

"I was the one who wanted him to do all those things to me, Valerie," Ari replied. "I just didn't expect that I would like it so much. That time when he tied me up with a rope, rendering me helpless as he did it to me, was simply out of this world…"

"Okay, you can stop now," Ali lightly pinched her sister's ear, making Ari stop talking. "I can't believe you're this wild, Ari. Don't you know the meaning of moderation?"

Ari smiled because this was the word that Lux always said to her.

"Let's do things in moderation. I don't want to hurt you, Ari."

Those were the words that he told her on the first night that they experiment with this new way of making love.

It made Ari feel loved, and perhaps because of this, she didn't mind doing the things that Lux's other lovers would never dare to do.

She had allowed herself to take that extra mile to reach greater heights so that her other sisters would be safe from the darkness that resided inside Lux's heart.

A darkness that belonged only to her, making her feel special in her own way.

Suddenly, the three sensed a presence entering their residence, making them stop discussing the things that Ari had shared with them.

"So, the three of you are here," Aurelia said with a smile. "I thought that you were going to the garden to view the flowers today, Valerie."

"That was my original plan, but I felt lazy and decided to just stay here and take it easy," Valerie stated. "Where have you been, Aur?" The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

To ensure that no one would know Aurelia's true gender, Valerie, Ali, and Ari made sure to call her Aur anytime and anywhere, even if they thought that no one was spying on them.

"I looked for Lady Hereswith to ask her about Lux's situation," Aurelia replied. "She can vaguely tell where he is right now."

"And where is he right now?"

"He's no longer in the Abyss, but he's still not in our world just yet. Perhaps, he is traveling a path that will lead him back here."

Valerie smiled sweetly as she once again touched her abdomen.

"I want to see him," Valerie said softly. "I want to see the person who I asked to make it possible for me to give birth to his child."

"You will see him," Aurelia replied. "Definitely."

Aurelia also wanted to see Lux so badly. She didn't know if he succeeded in saving Aurora, or if he was forced to leave the Abyss in order to escape Daniel.

But one thing was certain. Once she saw him again, she would tell him the good news that he would soon be a father of two.

Aurelia was even looking forward to seeing the expression on his face once he heard the news, making her wish that her beloved could arrive back in their world as fast as he possibly could.

Chapter 1177 An Excuse For Your Own Incompetence

"So you managed to get the Golden Scales. This is very good news," Daniel said. "However, why didn't you send it to me right away? Are you that petty, Nyarlathotep?"

"It's not that I don't want to send it to you, Daniel," Nyarlathotep replied. "It's just that, if I do, things will suddenly get boring again. You know, I hate it when things get boring."

"Boring? Is that your excuse for not even managing to get the Golden Anchor from that puny little Slime? How bored are you, really?"

"That Slime is different. I'm going to make her my pet after I'm done dealing with the small fries."

Daniel snorted. He knew that Nyarlathotep was cooking up something in Elysium at the expense of delaying their plan of an all-out invasion. Also, he hadn't been in the best of mood because of the pests that had taken away the Transcendent Succubus, who possessed one of the Pillars of Eternity in her soul.

He didn't know whether this was part of Antero's plan to prevent him from breaking through the seal that the Primordial Golem had placed on the portal that led to the Thirteenth Floor.

Even so, Daniel had to admit that, unless he gained another Pillar of Eternity, he would be unable to change the status quo in the Abyss.

This was why he was very annoyed that Nyarlathotep chose to do things his way instead of promptly sending him the Golden Scale, which would allow him to get to the First Layer of the Abyss and traverse the portals that led to different worlds.

"Calm down, Daniel," Nyarlathotep stated. "Give me two weeks. After two weeks, my plan will have come to fruition. I am preparing a very special present for you—something that you will like very much."

"The only thing that I'd like to see is Elysium and Solais being destroyed by my own two hands," Daniel replied. "Two weeks, Nyarlathotep, and not a day longer."

"Fine. I know that you are getting impatient, so I'll send you the Pillars in two weeks."

"Good. Update me if any variables arise."

After cutting off his connection with the Outer God, Daniel glanced at the two-meter-tall Black Wolf with the wings of a Griffin and the tail of a snake.

He was none other than the Demigod, Marchosias, whom he had sent to investigate the commotion that had taken place on the 14th Layer of the Abyss.

"Why didn't you stop them when you met those two suspicious individuals, Marchosias?" Daniel inquired. "You know that traveling through the different layers of the Abyss is not allowed at this time, no?"

"They told me that they were merely going back to their hometown, which was on the 69th Layer," Marchosias replied. "I didn't know that they were planning to go to the 111th Layer of the Abyss."

"They told you that they were going to the 69th Layer, and you believed them?" Daniel asked in contempt. "Tell me, Marchosias, why should I not kill you right now? Give me one good reason why I must spare your life?"

"If that will make you happy for not being able to handle two small fries by yourself, then go ahead," Marchosias replied. "All of your subordinates tried to stop them, but what happened? They still escaped your grasp.

"Of course, I had planned to block them on the 14th Floor as well, but the moment Lord Antero appeared, I was forced to lead my men to safety. I don't think I did anything wrong. Feel free to kill me as an excuse for your own incompetence."

The Black Wolf met Daniel's gaze fearlessly. He had agreed to become the Pseudo-God's subordinate, but that didn't mean that he would grovel and beg on his feet just to ask him to spare his life.

He was one of the rulers of the Abyss. He had his own bottom line.

Even in death, he would not lower himself to that of a mongrel.

"Get out of my sight!" Daniel ordered.

He was really tempted to kill the Abyssal Lord, but he knew that if he did it, nothing would change.

Even if Marchosias had fought against Lux, the outcome would have still been the same.

The Abyssal Lord would just die, including his subordinates, and no one would know what had happened until it was too late.

Right now, Daniel believed that everything that happened was due to Antero's ploy.

Lux was disguising himself as an Incubus.

Because of this, Daniel had no idea that the person who was supposed to be dead long ago had not only infiltrated the Abyss but had also stolen the Pillar of Eternity, which he had set his sights on.

If Daniel were to know of these things, he would definitely be shocked because not only was Lux supposed to be dead, the connection between Elysium, Solais, and the Abyss should have been cut off completely.

This was also the reason why it was impossible for Daniel to even think that the one who had snatched his prize was Lux. While he was still deep in his thoughts, a messenger had come to inform him of the latest things that were happening in the Abyss.

Daniel had asked his subordinates to report anything that was happening in their respective layers once a day, in order to ensure that there would be no repeat of the incident that happened not long ago.

"There has been an influx of souls that are coming from Elysium and Solais," the Messenger reported. "Millions of cocoons have spawned in the 222nd, 333rd, and 444th Layers. I believe that this is all thanks to Lord Nyarlathotep's actions, as well as the Abyssal Lords, who are currently in Elysium and Solais."

"Anything else?" Daniel asked.

Millions of souls suddenly appearing in the Abyss wasn't something to be surprised about. He had already expected this to happen.

What he didn't expect was that, out of those millions of souls, someone housed a Pillar of Eternity in her soul, which should have been a pleasant development for Daniel.

"Nothing else to report, My Lord," the Messenger replied. "Even the scouts on the 14th Layer are saying that they are not seeing any changes in the portal that leads to the 13th Layer."

Daniel sighed before waving his hand to dismiss the Messenger.

'I just hope that Nyarlathotep doesn't forget his promise,' Daniel thought. 'Two weeks is a long time, and I have already completed my preparations here. It seems like the only thing I can really do is wait.'

Daniel closed his eyes in order to meditate.

This was the only thing he could think of in order to calm his nerves while waiting for the promised day that Nyarlathotep would give him the Pillar of Eternity, the key that would allow him to enter the portals of the Abyss and conquer all the worlds that were within his grasp.

 

Chapter 1178 Does He Rock Your World?

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Multiverse…

Lux and Aurora were currently eating cake while looking at two beautiful little girls with short pink hair.

Both of them were currently in a world called Hestia because James had to make a short detour to participate in the Birthday Party of his two granddaughters, Maple and Cinnamon.

Since the Old Man had helped him a lot in saving Aurora, Lux agreed to spend three days in Hestia so that the Old Bandit could buy gifts and spend time with his beloved grandchildren.

"Have we met each other before?" Lux asked the red-headed Half-Elf, who was seated beside him and was holding a cute baby in his arms. "I could have sworn you look familiar."

"I get that a lot these days," the Half-Elf, who had the same hair and eye color as Lux, replied with a smile. "Also, just call me William."

"Lux," Lux replied as he shook William's hand.

Aurora, on the other hand, was busy talking with two other Succubi, who had long purple hair and were just as gorgeous as her.

"Is he good?" the first Succubus, who went by the name Sidonie, asked Aurora with a mischievous smile on her face. "He is," Aurora replied.

"How good is good?" the other Succubus, who went by the name Morgana, inquired. "Does he rock your world?"

"No," Aurora answered with a smirk. "I rock his world."

Sidonie giggled before giving Aurora a thumbs up. "Girl, you rock." "Hah~ I'm a failure as a Succubus," Morgana lamented. "My husband is rocking my world, and not the other way around."

Aurora glanced at the handsome Half-Elf who was holding a baby in his arms.

He looked so relaxed as he held his baby. It was as if he had done this many times already, making him an expert in handling babies.

"Well, your husband is indeed very capable," Aurora said. "How many wives does he have again?"

"Forty-seven," Sidonie replied. "There might have been countless more if we all hadn't put our foot down to stop it."

Aurora couldn't help but smile after hearing Sidonie's reply. Having many wives was not an easy thing to accomplish, and she felt thankful that Lux only had less than ten lovers, which was obviously better compared to the other Half-Elf, whose number of children was nearing a hundred.

Suddenly, a bridge made up of light descended into the venue.

A moment later, a rainbow-colored Anteater rolled down it, causing everyone to break out in cheers.

"Uncle Kazo!" Maple said as she gave Kazogonaga a hug. "I miss you."

"Cinnamon misses you too, Uncle," Cinnamon stated as she also gave the Anteater a hug.

"I missed you too, Maple and Cinnamon," Kaozognaga replied as he hugged the two twins in return. "I'm just so busy doing concerts, T.V. Shows, as well as starring in movies. I promise to clear up a bit of my time in the next few months so we can go to an amusement park, okay?"

""Yay!""

The two girls cheered after hearing Kazogonaga's promise.

The Anteater then gave the two birthday celebrants the gifts that he had prepared for them, which was a storage ring filled to the brim with all the junk foods found back on Earth.

Lux, who was chatting with William a moment ago, gasped after seeing Kazogonaga.

The rainbow-colored Anteater, who was also about to say hi to William, froze when he saw the familiar face sitting next to his friend.

"Kazo!"

"Lux!"

William looked at the two and smiled.

"The two of you know each other?" William inquired.

Kazogonaga smiled before jumping on top of a chair that was made just for him.

"Do you remember that Movie called Cantarella that you turned down?" Kasogonaga asked.

"Yes," William replied.

"Well, Lux here was the one that took on the role that you are supposed to play," Kazogonaga explained. "Lux, do you know the commotion you caused when you just suddenly disappeared? Fortunately, that ballroom scene was the last scene that we needed to shoot. If not for that, Director Francesca would have cursed you until her dying breath.

"Also, Luna seemed to be very down after you disappeared. Although she does her best to not show it, we can tell that she is very sad and misses you terribly."

Aurora, who was hearing some unfamiliar terms, frowned. She didn't know why Lux was acquainted with the Anteater Kazogonaga.

But when she heard the name Luna, something inside her clicked because Lux had mentioned this name to her in the past.

'If I remember correctly, she was supposed to be someone who looks like Aina,' Aurora thought. 'Either he told me about Luna, or I just forgot it after I died.'

A sad smile appeared on Lux's face when he heard what had transpired after he left Earth.

However, his sadness didn't last for long because he just realized something.

"How are you able to go to Earth?" Lux asked. "Is there a way that I can do that too?"

"Well, you will need James' help to do that," Kazogonaga replied. "That Old Man is the only one who can connect the Bifrost Bridge to different worlds. Of course, this doesn't happen instantly. "He needs to set fixed coordinates, as well as establish the connection between the two worlds. Otherwise, it won't work. It's a complicated process, so it will be best if you just ask him how it's done. Waiter, can I have a glass of champagne, please? Thank you."

The Waiter immediately gave the Superstar his drink and even managed to ask for his autograph on the side.

The rainbow-colored Anteater took a sip of the champagne before taking out a CD from its storage ring.

"This is a copy of the movie, Cantarella," Kazogonaga replied. "It will be released in theaters in three months, but since I am awesome, I managed to get a copy. How about you watch it before you go back to your world? I'm sure that the lady beside you will want to see it as well. "Is she perhaps your lover? Make sure to invite me to your wedding. Although I'm always busy, I'll make sure to attend it if you marry Luna as well. Otherwise, I'm crashing your party."

Lux nodded "Understood." He was dealing with so many things right now, and he still had a world to save. However, that didn't mean that he wasn't thinking about the future.

Luna was waiting for him back on Earth, so he had to survive this calamity first. Otherwise, he was afraid that she would wait for him forever until she grew old and decrepit.

That day, Aurora was introduced to the world of Movies.

She was surprised and amazed that such a thing existed. Also, when she first saw Luna, she immediately understood why Lux said that she looked like an older version of Aina.

"Let's save the world so that Luna can reunite with her sister," Aurora said softly as she held Lux's hand.

"Yes," Lux replied as he watched the movie that took six months to produce.

That time that he had spent with Luna was one of his most bittersweet memories.

Memories that he wanted to experience again after he settled the problems that he had to face when he returned to Solais and Elysium.

 

Chapter 1179 A Beautiful Flower That Bloomed Only For Him [Part 1]

After much deliberation and with Aurora's encouragement, Lux asked James and Kazogonaga for a favor.

And that favor was to help him return to Earth so that he could talk to Luna for a day and tell her to not be sad anymore because he found a way to visit her.

Of course, James was fine with this request.

Compared to going back to Elysium, going to Earth was just like snapping a finger.

With the Bifrost Bridge allowing him to travel instantly to that world, it wouldn't take much effort to give Lux a day to see the sad actress, who missed him terribly.

According to Kazogonaga, Luna was starring in another project and was shooting near a desert.

Of course, the film crew and the director would not allow random people to just walk up to their set and say hi.

However, if it was the Superstar Kazogonaga, they would be more than happy to allow him and his entourage to visit their set and watch them film.

———————

Somewhere in B-Country…

"And cut!" Director Francesca shouted, and the crew finally relaxed.

The scene was difficult because of its intensity, but Luna and the other side characters of the project were able to pull it off perfectly.

After her amazing performance in Cantarella, Director Francesca decided to cast Luna in the next project she was working on.

However, her role in this movie was only that of a supporting Lead Character.

Even so, Luna was still thankful for the work because it allowed her to momentarily forget the sadness in her heart.

"Good take," Director Francesca said to Luna. "We will pack up soon and return to the city. Make sure to take a proper rest tonight at the hotel because tomorrow, we will be staying in the desert heat to shoot a couple of scenes for the movie."

"Understood, Director," Luna replied. Suddenly, they saw a van approaching their set, which made Director Francesca frown.

Just as she was about to call the security guards they hired to protect them from any threats in the desert, the car stopped, and a rainbow-colored Anteater stepped down from the van and waved at the film crew.

"It's Lord Kazo!" one of the crew gasped in surprise. "Oh my god! My niece loves him. She even bought a Kazogonaga plushie and hugged it to sleep."

"Mine, too!"

"I have one of those as well. They are so soft, and you can even use them as a pillow."

There were several new faces among the crew who never had the chance to work with Kazogonaga in the past. Because of this, they were very happy to see him on the set.

All of them wanted to take his photograph and even take selfies with him to brag to their family and friends.

A few seconds later, a young man stepped out of the van and glanced in Luna's direction.

The beautiful actress' eyes widened in shock when she saw the young man, whom she hadn't seen for a while.

Director Francesa also recognized Lux, making her glare in his direction.

"Oi! You bastard!" Director Francesa shouted. "How dare you disappear without even telling anyone?! Do you know the commotion you caused several months ago? Come here, I'm going to give you a good beating!"

Lux smiled bitterly as he walked toward the Director, as well as the young lady, whose eyes had locked onto his body.

She wanted to hug him so badly right now, but if she were to do that, things might become complicated with her acting career.

Because of this, she held herself back and tried to greet Lux as normally as she could.

"It's been a while since we last saw each other," Luna said. "Are you doing well?"

"Not really," Lux replied. "But I'm here. That's all that matters."

Before Lux could even say anything else, Director Francesca pulled on his right ear, which made Luna giggle.

Lux didn't even resist the older lady's "revenge" because he was guilty of suddenly disappearing without notice after the end of their filming.

He was now a Supreme, so a normal human wouldn't be able to hurt him even if they kicked him in the balls.

Perhaps, seeing that her punishment didn't have any effect on the Half-Elf, Director Francesca cursed loudly, which was unbecoming of a famous director like her.

"Young man, we will have a lot of things to discuss," Director Francesca stated. "Make sure to not disappear anywhere without telling me, okay?"

"Okay," Lux replied.

However, he only planned to stay until morning before he and James resumed their journey to travel back to Elysium.

He only wanted to tell Luna that he could visit her now, making her fears of not seeing him again go away.

Of course, in order to have this opportunity, he needed to beat Daniel first and rid the world of any Abyssal Threat, allowing him to return to Earth and stay by Luna's side for extended periods of time.

It took the crew an hour to pack everything up before they drove to the city, which was a one-hour drive from the location they had filmed at.

After arriving at the hotel, Kazogonaga was immediately booked a Presidential Suite before the Anteater could even say anything.

For the hotel, having him there was like the ultimate promotion that they could use to attract more customers to their establishment.

Since Lux was part of Kazogonaga's entourage, he was also given a room for himself, free of charge.

The Half-Elf joined the film crew for dinner and chatted with Luna and Director Francesca.

According to the Director, she had high hopes for the movie, Cantarella, and she was even looking forward to the awards that she would receive the moment it hit the box office.

Luna talked sparingly, but her eyes spoke a thousand words.

Lux held her hand under the table, allowing the young lady to finally calm down and understand that everything that was happening wasn't a dream.

An hour later, Luna retired to her room, and Lux sneakily entered it without anyone seeing him.

As soon as he closed the door firmly behind him, Luna was not able to hold back any longer and jumped into his arms.

Lux caught the young lady, whose tears fell on his shirt like rain.

No words were spoken between them, and before Lux knew it, he was already on the bed, pinned down by the beautiful actress.

She was very beautiful, like a flower in full bloom.

A beautiful flower that bloomed only for him.

Chapter 1180 A Beautiful Flower That Bloomed Only For Him [Part 2]

After their hearts and bodies were sated, Luna rested her head on Lux's chest and hugged him firmly.

This was the happiest day of her life ever since the Half-Elf had left her to return to his world.

Deep inside, she couldn't help but feel that meeting him again was a miracle.

Of course, Luna was willing to wait.

She was willing to wait for him even if it took a decade or, perhaps, even more.

However, the uncertainty of seeing him again gnawed at her heart and spirit, making her feel depressed.

If not for the fact that she had been made busy by filming and solidifying her career as an actress, she might have entered a reclusive state, not going anywhere outside of her room unless absolutely necessary.

Her work was the only thing that allowed her to forget the warmth of his touch, the gentleness of his embrace, and the words of love he had whispered in her ears.

Right now, she was feeling that warmth while being held in the embrace of the young man to whom she had offered her body and heart.

The two of them talked in hushed voices while in this state.

Lux told her that he had found a way to visit her, but he couldn't stay for long because he still had unfinished business in Elysium.

He didn't dare tell her that he had just come from the Abyss in order to find his lover, who had died while protecting everyone she held dear.

Aurora had stayed behind in the world of Hestia and was currently having fun watching movies and TV shows.

Fortunately, one of William's wives, who went by the name Erinys, was someone who loved to watch shows on NetFix.

She and Aurora were currently binge-watching one of her favorite shows, which also caught the interest of the beautiful Succubus who decided to stay behind and wait for Lux's return.

As much as she also wanted to meet Luna, she understood that this wasn't the right time to do so. Because of this, she allowed Lux to meet her alone and make the beautiful actress feel the love that she thought she had lost forever.

"So, after you're done with this business, will you come and meet me again?" Luna asked.

"Yes," Lux replied. "And I will bring Aina with me when I do. I promise."

"Good." Luna fought off a yawn, as she desperately tried to keep herself awake.

Her lover told her that he would be gone by sunrise to return to his world. Truth be told, Luna was afraid that the moment she woke up in the morning, everything that happened would be just a dream.

Even though she knew it wasn't one, a part of her was thinking that this was simply too good to be true.

Perhaps, knowing that she would think that everything was just a dream, Lux decided to leave a few kiss marks in places that wouldn't be seen by anyone but Luna.

This would prove to the young lady that everything she experienced was real.

Of course, Lux intended to wake her up before he disappeared again.

A proper goodbye was necessary in order to make the hearts of the people, who would be left behind, at ease.

"Sleep," Lux kissed the young lady's forehead. "I'll wake you up before I go. I promise."

"Okay," Luna reluctantly replied as she finally closed her eyes to sleep.

Their filming took nearly an entire day, and she was dead tired. However, she still used her remaining strength to make love to Lux and feel him deep inside of her.

With the last of her strength gone, she fell asleep in an instant.

She was even snoring lightly, which made the Half-Elf's heart ache.

Because of this, he made her lay on the bed properly, before hugging her body.

He then closed his eyes to sleep as well.

As much as he wanted to cherish this moment, he was also very exhausted from their journey to the Abyss.

He was now a Supreme, and his body was way stronger than ever before. But the exhaustion he felt in his mind and spirit was something that not even the power of a Supreme could brush off so easily.

Lux was so worried about what was happening in Elysium that even spending a day with Luna was his limit.

If not for the threat that was hanging over his home world, he would have stayed with Luna for a few days and kept her company.

Alas, it was not meant to be.

Several hours later, Lux opened his eyes and looked outside the window of Luna's room.

The sky was still dark, and yet, he knew that it was already time to say goodbye.

Using his power to revitalize the body of his lover, Lux gently shook Luna awake.

"Is it time for you to leave?" Luna asked.

The last dregs of sleepiness melted away inside her mind like butter, replaced with sadness.

"Yes," Lux replied. "But there is no need for you to worry. Like I said, I now have a way to visit you. Just give me some time, and I will return here with Aina."

Luna nodded before hugging her lover one last time.

"This is not a dream, right?" Luna asked. Lux smiled mischievously, as he lightly pinched her butt, making Luna gasp in shock.

"So, are you now awake?" Lux inquired.

"I hate you," Luna pouted.

However, she still wrapped her arms around Lux's neck and stood on her tiptoe to kiss his lips.

"Come and see me as soon as you can," Luna said softly. "I will be waiting for you and my sister to pay me a visit. However, make sure to stay for a few days… no. You must stay for at least a week on your next visit."

Lux chuckled before nodding his head. "I will. I promise."

"Good." Luna then hugged Lux's tightly.

This hug lasted for two minutes before she reluctantly took a step back.

"Go," Luna replied. "I now know that this isn't a dream. Safe travels, Lux, and may you return to your world safely."

"Goodbye, Luna," Lux replied. "I will come and see you soon."

The Half-Elf then opened the window in order to take flight.

However, before he went away, he gave Luna a reassuring smile and one last wave of goodbye.

Luna returned the gesture with a smile on her face.

She knew that the next time she saw the handsome Half-Elf, she would experience the sweetest dream with the sister she loved and the man whom she was looking forward to spending forever with.
