——————————————————————
“Is this the interior of Chaos now?”
As the Lord of the Abyss gradually approached Chaos through the path he had cleaved, he could no longer discern his direction.
However, this was no longer important.
After all, the Lord of the Abyss was powerful enough not to fear anything except the Primordial.
Secondly, the Lord of the Abyss still had that feeling from before.
This so-called feeling allowed him to find his way forward without much difficulty.
However, more than being lost, the Lord of the Abyss was more concerned about the changes in Chaos itself.
And now, the scene that Chaos presented to him was beyond bizarre; it was simply indescribable!
The reason for saying this was that the interior of Chaos was completely different from what the Lord of the Abyss had seen before.
Because....
“Y-you, hello... P-please, may I ask....”
An extremely timid and cowardly elven creature slowly floated in front of the Lord of the Abyss, speaking tentatively.
Her appearance, in every aspect, was very similar to a pixie.
She had a pair of light, transparent wings, a pretty face, and a body that could be described as almost perfectly beautiful.
Except for her size, which was only half an arm's length.
She could be said to be the perfect creature in the eyes of many beings, even a dreamlike creature only found in dreams.
“!”
However, the moment she appeared, the Lord of the Abyss looked at her.
With just one glance, this poor little creature was frightened into unconsciousness by the unromantic Lord of the Abyss.
This tiny, elf-like creature screamed and quickly fell from the sky, crashing straight to the ground.
Fortunately, the Lord of the Abyss, for some reason, snorted coldly.
The next moment, with the shattering of space,
this lovely little sprite was suddenly blocked by space and did not fall completely.
It could be said that the Lord of the Abyss saved her life.
But saving her life was not entirely accurate.
Because....
When the Lord of the Abyss's scarlet eyes saw through the essence of this so-called sprite, his brow immediately furrowed.
Then, with his will, another rift appeared in the surrounding space.
The appearance of this rift, like a needle, directly awakened the sprite.
“Ah!”
With the sprite's scream, she woke up.
However, when she saw how terrifying the figure standing in front of her was, her eyes still showed immense fear.
“How dare you appear directly before me.”
On the other side, seeing the elf awaken, the Lord of the Abyss said coldly.
“I-I'm sorry for appearing before you and insulting your eyes.”
“I am truly sorry.”
The sprite trembled all over, seeing how cold the Lord of the Abyss was.
However, because the sprite had a mission, despite her fear, she mustered her courage and asked the Lord of the Abyss.
“Um... are you the legendary Lord of the Abyss who can destroy our world with a single sword?”
“Yes.”
The Lord of the Abyss nodded.
He had no need to lie about this.
After all, the other party's strength was too weak.
In such a weak state, the Lord of the Abyss did not care about revealing his true identity.
More importantly, he could not hide his true identity.
After all....
At this stage, he was the only one who could enter Chaos alone.
——————————————————
“That's great, great, great!”
“You really are the Lord of the Abyss!”
“Quick, please come with me!”
Seeing the Lord of the Abyss reveal his identity, the sprite happily jumped up and down like a little bird.
Then, she patted the spatial shackles beneath her and said to the Lord of the Abyss.
“Lord of the Abyss, can you please release me?”
“.....”
The Lord of the Abyss responded with silence.
“Please!”
“I must escape your bondage to take you to a place!”
“Go to a place?”
“What place?”
Faced with the sprite's inexplicable words, the Lord of the Abyss asked curiously.
——————————————
“I can't say!”
“There are too many bad people here.”
“If I say it, many people will find us!”
“We are weak and cannot be found by them!”
The sprite said to the Lord of the Abyss while futilely trying to break free from his confinement.
“......”
Blood gradually appeared on the sprite's hands.
All this blood was caused by her attempts to escape the spatial cage.
Seeing this, the Lord of the Abyss gently snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the sprite successfully escaped from the spatial cage.
“Thank you, thank you!”
Although the person who bound her was originally the Lord of the Abyss, the sprite still expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the Lord of the Abyss the moment she was freed.
Then, the sprite said to the Lord of the Abyss.
“Quick, Lord of the Abyss!”
‘Come with me, I'll take you to a place.’
After speaking, the sprite took the lead and flew away.
The moment her figure disappeared, the Lord of the Abyss ignored her and continued to walk forward.
But before the Lord of the Abyss could walk far, the sprite appeared again.
“Lord of the Abyss, what are you doing?”
“Hurry up and come over!”
Seeing the Lord of the Abyss dawdling, the sprite couldn't help but feel anxious.
But just as she was about to approach the Lord of the Abyss, the Lord of the Abyss glared at her.
Obviously, she did not have permission to approach him.
“Where exactly do you want to take me?”
“No.”
“You should know that no matter where you take me, your actions are useless, right?”
The Lord of the Abyss said coldly.
But the sprite still stood stubbornly beside him, saying to the Lord of the Abyss.
“Quick, come with me, Lord of the Abyss!”
“You'll understand when you get there!”
Helpless, not knowing if the Lord of the Abyss had thought of something, he followed her after a short hesitation.
He walked into the unfathomable mist!
————————————————
“Lord of the Abyss, have you always been so powerful?”
“Why are you so powerful!”
“Are you so powerful because you eat a lot of people!”
“I want to eat people too!”
With the sprite's chatter, the Lord of the Abyss's expression became increasingly worse.
But no matter what, although the Lord of the Abyss didn't pay much attention to the sprite, the sprite still brought him to the area she wanted him to come to.
A....
Space where sprites live!
Oh no.
In the eyes of the Lord of the Abyss, all he could see were spaces and the folding of spaces.
But in reality, this area was the home of the sprite clan.
A home composed of gray trees.
In this home, countless sprites lived peacefully in this area!
“Ahhh!”
“It's a monster!”
“It's that monster called the Lord of the Abyss!”
When the Lord of the Abyss appeared in the home of these sprites, they screamed quickly.
It was very obvious that the Lord of the Abyss and these cute little fellows were not in sync, especially when they stood together.
It could even be said that they were completely inconsistent.
“Everyone, wait a moment!”
“The Lord of the Abyss has no malice!”
“Everyone, please don't panic, the Lord of the Abyss is a good person!”
“Because he just let me go and didn't kill me!”
“He is a guest, and a good guest at that.”
Although the sprite was still covered in blood, his words made the sprites who had hidden reappear in the village home.
Moreover, these sprites didn't seem to have much brains.
After they confirmed that the Lord of the Abyss really didn't attack them, these little fellows actually took the initiative to approach the Lord of the Abyss.
And some of the bolder ones even brought their usual delicacies and placed them in front of the Lord of the Abyss for him to taste.
It seemed that they really didn't have much brains.
Because the Lord of the Abyss's expression was very bad.
And the scarlet in his eyes was more intense than ever.
————————————————————
“Why did you call me here?”
The restless Lord of the Abyss directly asked the sprite who led the way.
“I just wanted to have you as a guest and tell you something.”
Seeing that the Lord of the Abyss seemed to be losing patience, the sprite quickly said.
“You can rest assured that we have no malice towards you.”
The Lord of the Abyss nodded and said seriously.
“Indeed, just a bunch of insects.”
Faced with the Lord of the Abyss's merciless remarks, the sprite was not discouraged, but said very seriously.
“You're right, we are indeed weak existences like insects.”
“But the problem is, aren't we also living beings?”
Hearing the sprite say this, the Lord of the Abyss sneered at the sprite.
“Are you sure?”
“Guys like you.....”
Before the Lord of the Abyss could finish speaking, the sprite immediately became anxious.
“Of course we are living beings!”
“It's just that we are different from you.”
“We are creatures of Chaos!”
Hearing these words, a strange look appeared in the Lord of the Abyss's eyes.
It was as if the other party was saying some strange words.
At this time, the sprite immediately put his hands on his hips and said with an angry look.
“I'm not kidding!”
“Lord of the Abyss!”
“We are indeed weak, indeed existences like insects, but I think that even if you are such a strong person, you can't deny that we are living beings!”
“Since the great Chaos gradually took over this dimension, it has become more and more like the source of the world.”
“Or rather, it has gradually returned to the essence of its world's source!”
“So no matter what, we sprites, as things born from the source of the world, can be regarded as true living beings!”
“Time is about to start from the beginning.”
“Is that so?”
The Lord of the Abyss sneered, saying in an especially terrifying manner.
“But I will not let this happen.”
“That guy too!”
“The guy you're talking about is the War Spirit, right.”
“Yes, yes, it's okay, he will understand in the end.”
“Understand what, understand the true appearance of you so-called sprites, so-called freaks?”
“No.”
“It is to understand that we creatures of Chaos are actually far more beautiful, more....”
“Perfect!”
The Lord of the Abyss blinked his eyes and said impatiently.
“How can you sprites say these words?”
“You clearly....”
“That's your opinion, not ours!”
The sprite couldn't help but sigh and said seriously to the Lord of the Abyss.
“Lord of the Abyss.”
“You may not understand, but in fact, the reason why we creatures of Chaos are so.... in your eyes”
“Ugly!”
“That's right, it's ugly!”
“But in reality, in our eyes, you are also extremely ugly existences.”
“For example, that super super super large trash can!”
“Although you were born from this large trash can, you are different, although you have the smell of the other party.”
The Lord of the Abyss sighed helplessly.
“That's called the Endless Abyss!”
Forget it, the Lord of the Abyss was helpless.
He sat down on the spot, destroying a sprite's home with his butt, and then looked at the silver-gray trees.
"You called me here just to tell me how beautiful your little fairies are?"
"That sounds utterly pointless!"
"Of course not."
The little fairy put her hands on her hips and said.
"I asked you to come here mainly to complete a task."
"What task?"
"To complete the commission given to me by the Primordial One!"
Hearing the word 'Primordial,' the Abyss Lord's expression changed.
But he managed to control himself.
'What did he say?'
"Not 'he,' but 'She'!"
The little fairy retorted.
"She, the Primordial One, told me that among the three filthy things born in that trash can, besides the Spirit of War, which was an accident forced by pollution, you are actually the most soft-hearted of them all."
"You are the one who retained the most humanity."
"That's why the Primordial One asked me to come and persuade you to lay down your weapons and stop fighting."
"You are the easiest to be persuaded."
"Heh heh heh."
The Abyss Lord chuckled.
"You're really quite successful, aren't you?"
'Right now, I'm really filled with anger.'
The little fairy, undeterred by the Abyss Lord's words, said resolutely.
"I know, but you'd better put down your weapons and stop fighting!"
'Give me a reason.'
The Abyss Lord said coldly.
"The reason is, you are doing evil!"
"You are slaughtering us, these chaotic beings!"
Before the Abyss Lord could retort, the little fairy continued.
"I know what you're going to say next."
"But the problem is, your view and statement are absolutely wrong."
"Because...."
"While you are protecting your friends from the old era, you are actually harming the meaning of us, these new generation beings!"
"That's right!"
The little fairy said indignantly.
"We chaotic beings, although we have not yet entered the next era, have not reached the stage of being erased by the Primordial One."
"But the problem is, if we are killed by a strong person like you,"
"Then we are truly killed!"
When this little fellow said the word 'killed,' her beautiful eyes were staring intently at the Abyss Lord's hands.
As if the Abyss Lord's hands were the ultimate weapon that could destroy everything!
"In this case, we chaotic beings, who originally represented the future, don't even have the chance to enter the future."
"So, great Abyss Lord,"
"I must ask you a question on behalf of the Primordial One."
"That is...."
"Are you really on the side of justice?"
The cute little fairy said with a serious face.
"On one hand, you keep saying that you want to protect your companions, to protect living beings."
"On the other hand, you have become a complete executioner, constantly slaughtering us chaotic beings."
"Can you really represent justice like this?"
"All your actions are just a futile struggle."
"The wheels of history are rolling forward, but you insist on being the one blocking in front of the wheels."
"Moreover, if it were just your own futile struggle, that would be fine."
"The worst thing about you is that you say you are upholding justice!"
"But this is still only from your perspective."
"If you stand from the perspective of us chaotic beings, your behavior is actually a terrifying massacre."
"You are constantly depriving future beings of the chance to live."
"Countless beings die because of you."
"But you excitedly say that it is your righteous act!"
"But the problem is...."
"We are also living beings!"
"We are real and true living beings!"
"Everything you do, to put it bluntly, is actually one thing."
"That is, you are using the slaughter of future beings to forcibly exchange for the prolonging of your so-called companions' lives."
"We future beings also have our own families and our own lives."
"We don't want to be killed either!"
"So, can such behavior really be considered justice?"
Faced with the little fairy's question, the Abyss Lord fell silent.
And this silence of his lasted longer than ever before.
Because he was thinking.
However, seeing the Abyss Lord thinking, the little fairy seemed to have completed her mission and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she left the Abyss Lord, who was thinking alone, and rejoined her teammates.
Then, under the Abyss Lord's gaze, they began their lives.
Just as she said.
Even if they are chaotic beings, they still have their own lives.
In the short few hours of contemplation, the Abyss Lord saw the joys, sorrows, and resilience of these little fairies, and saw how these little fairies coped with danger.
————————————————————————
Ah.
They are also living beings.
With this thought, the Abyss Lord raised his head and looked into the distance.
Moreover, not only these little fairies, but those guys are also living beings.
Remember when I said before that the Abyss Lord was sighing that the chaos had changed?
The reason why this change is somewhat indescribable is entirely due to one reason.
That is.....
In the depths of chaos, countless chaos are beginning to transform into small worlds because they are moving towards the origin of the world.
Although Chaos said that in the future, he will slaughter all born beings and turn them into pure chaos.
But that also has a prerequisite.
And this so-called prerequisite is that these beings have the right and time to survive in the real world!
After all, if they had never lived, then Chaos destroying them would not be completely meaningless.
Ah.
At this moment, the Abyss Lord finally understood what the little fairy meant by her words to him.
With this thought, the Abyss Lord closed his eyes tightly.
"...."
————————————————————
"Little fairy."
Finally, after a while, the Abyss Lord called the little fairy.
"I've made a decision!"
"Ah?"
Hearing that the Abyss Lord had made his decision, the little fairy immediately smiled.
"You finally understand!"
"Great, I knew the Primordial One wouldn't be wrong."
"Yes."
"She indeed didn't say anything wrong."
The Abyss Lord lowered his head and said with a trembling voice.
"I...."
"Am indeed an executioner."
"This, perhaps, is my fate."
Then, in the little fairy's horrified eyes, the Abyss Lord drew his weapon.
At the same time, these so-called little fairies finally took off their 'disguise' and transformed into their 'true' forms.
They....
Are just a group of bizarre, twisted, screaming, indescribable....
Chaos bugs!
With this thought, the Abyss Lord swung the weapon in his hand!
