Chapter 70: Chapter 66: Please Don’t Leave Me


The feeling of being invaded by an unusual power from inside out made Chloe feel somewhat uncomfortable.


Facing the Abyss wasn’t a pleasant experience.


Yet, he calmly stated his request.


"I hope my child, upon birth, will possess awakened talent strong enough to hunt top-tier warriors."


The Abyssal Will’s voice, sounding as if coming from the skies, said somewhat surprised:


"Not you?"


"Not me, this body is yours. I know the reason for your descent; you wish to have the perfect vessel for your power, Your Excellency."


The Abyssal Will chuckled lightly, and after a while, its pleasant voice sounded:


"Mortal, I agree to your request. Since you’ve been in touch with plenty of Abyssal Believers, you should be able to sense that child’s power..."


A force beyond his knowledge and comprehension streamed from the altar, instantly merging into Aisha’s belly.


Chloe let out a satisfied laugh, then said:


"Please give me some time. Once I’ve handled my other commitments, I’ll often bask beneath your throne."


"Granted."


The grand vision of the Abyssal Will slowly dissipated.


Aisha, who was nearly crushed to the point of being unable to breathe, recovered.


She looked at Chloe with a bitter smile:


"Chloe, you really..."


"Shh."


Chloe made a silent gesture.


"Next up is our agreement."


Aisha caressed her belly, making up her mind after a long while.


[When you awaken again, you find yourself on the shores of the Salt River, with demons vanished, leaving only darkened flesh scattered around.]


[Chloe and Aisha’s figures are gone, and there’s a note left on you written by Aisha.]


[She tells you that the Evil God’s Followers have been eradicated, and advises you not to rashly intrude next time.]


[Soon after returning to the academy, you hear an astonishing piece of news; Aisha’s elder brother, who had been bedridden for years, was healed by Chloe upon his return to school.]


[You know the Triple Thunder Blade’s prowess is astonishing, yet its Extraordinary Origin was severely damaged in the demon tide, leading to its long dormancy.]


[Chloe being able to heal him indicates he has become a Sequence Two Angel, which stirs deep unease within you, prompting a choice:]


[You choose to leave a note with the principal and face the meeting alone.]


[Even if it means dying, you need to understand what Chloe and Aisha did, and why they chose this path.]


[But since then, in ten years, you’ve never seen them again, as if they’ve disappeared from the world entirely.]


[Five years later, you become a regular faculty member within the Ethereal Emblem, still collecting their information in your spare time.]


[One day, you hear from other teachers a startling news, that an Angel descended upon the world, destroying the headquarters of the evil organization, the Flesh and Blood Hermitage.]


[Your heart stirred, instinctively feeling this was related to Chloe. You learned the location of the incident and headed to the Angel Battlefield, despite others’ attempts to stop you.]


[On a barren island, you discovered the spreading Abyssal Divine Power. Your instincts told you that the ones you seek are within.]


[Abyssal Divine Power corroded your body, yet pain couldn’t stop your steps as you entered the Abyss.]


[In the ruins of the Flesh and Blood Hermitage headquarters, you saw Chloe and Aisha.]


[You instinctively used the Humiliation Trait on Aisha.]


[You acquired the talent "Enchanting Demon Queen," enabling a high level of assimilation with the Abyss, and gaining the power to transform into the Enchanting Demon Queen.]


[She now wrapped in armor, her enchanting demon horns and flesh merged, and her wings and tail swayed in the wind.]


[Yet your gaze was more fixated on Chloe nearby.]


[He was cloaked head-to-toe in hard scales, flowing with a beautiful luster, akin to wearing a bronze armor.]


[Sharp bones protruded from various parts of his body, with steel-like muscles faintly visible between the scales, and his spread Demon Wings blotted out the sky.]


[Only that face remained serene and peaceful.]


[Undoubtedly, this is the ultimate monster, a mixture of countless Abyss elements, with Divine Power flowing through him.]


Simulation unfolded.


Rephya froze on the spot.


She saw Chloe say to Aisha, "Sorry, Aisha, it’s time to say goodbye."


Aisha said, "Hmm, I knew this long ago."


Rephya watched as her friend lowered her head in tears, and in her daze, understood something.


The power of the Abyss extended behind Chloe, and his dazzling eyes gradually dimmed, as an unusual power awoke within him.


She had seen this scene before, when the Desire Mother Tree revived within him, it was similar.


The next moment!


In his hand appeared a great sword shining with Holy Qi, its shimmering blade fiercely piercing his demon heart.


Aisha closed her eyes, unable to bear witnessing this scene.


Rephya froze in place, yet saw him smile at her: "Hey, Xiaolu, come here."


She was somewhat frightened.


But hearing that voice, she still gathered the courage to go forward.


"Chloe senior, why? Why did you do this?"


Her emotions were somewhat agitated.


Chloe grasped her hand and placed it on the hilt of the sword glowing with Divine Radiance.


As if a Demon Monarch, yet now showing a childlike smile:


"This is the Heroic Greatsword, remember to take it away, and don’t come to places like this anymore, Rephya, this is the last time."


"Recovery."


A familiar voice sounded beside her ear, and the warm power dispersed the influence of Abyssal Divine Power on her.
