Chapter 656: Chapter 494 The Abyss is Majestic_2

Darkness enveloped him.

"Why, no power?" the Abyss inquired.

The Abyss needed Lind to spread corruption and taint more lives, yet, at this moment, only Lind’s strength was rapidly increasing — he hadn’t caused a single Abyssal Calamity.

Lind could feel a boiling rage surging. The Abyss tried to make him feel that anger, but unlike the Abyss whose fury was vented downwards, Lind only felt the fear that the other brought.

In Lind’s view, the methods of the Abyss were somewhat crude, using sheer fear to oppress subordinates, or blunt rewards to motivate them. This all depended on the Abyss’s total control over the lives of its subordinates, and on their actual fear of death.

Unfortunately for it, Lind was not afraid to die. He had three lives, so what was there to fear? Previously, he had thought about removing the negative influences after dealing with the Abyss, but it seemed now that with the Abyss’s overwhelming desire to control, this life was bound to be lost.

Now, he was only thinking about how to sell it for a good price.

The malevolent power turned into a huge, writhing tentacle with suckers that enveloped Lind — a simple punishment.

It must be said, if not for his ability for divided attention, allowing him to use two completely different consciousnesses to think, he might have now been panic-stricken into submission.

The "reward" within his body, the maggots, had stopped squirming.

Lind let the Abyss consume his soul with its power, undisturbed, relying on the "Serpent Ring Emblem" to absorb the negative impacts and slow the rate of consumption.

His confidence was not solely due to the Crest Power; another reason was that he had the ability of Storm Knight Mien, one of the Knights of the Apocalypse, and also a representative figure in battling the Abyss. The Soul Blade was enough to slice through any tainted soul.

Furthermore, he possessed some of the power of the story’s Dominus. Although he couldn’t yet force a script arrangement, starting a story and giving it a chance to develop was not difficult.

As long as he tried and errored enough, he could always achieve his goal through numerous convoluted ways.

Lind said, "The Deities have gradually awakened. I’ve built a force of hundreds of thousands. Their development has been greatly hindered because they are afraid to utilize your mighty power; showing your presence rashly might unite them."

Hundreds of thousands?

Too few, the Abyss didn’t care for that number.

It knew that the deities were awakening, but it didn’t care.

Although Lind hadn’t heard the Abyss say anything, his body was constantly enveloped in darkness, and he could clearly feel the change in the Abyss’s emotions—from an intense anger that was initially irresistible to a sudden shift to contempt.

Deities? Hmph, mere trash.

That was roughly the idea.

Lind took the opportunity to say, "They’ve formed an Alliance and see me as an enemy."

"I, grant you power."

You don’t have to grant it.

Distracted, Lind had two thoughts. One thought was, "Don’t give me the power, big trouble," and the other was, "Thank you, great Abyss, serving you is my honor."

He felt like he was mentally split, but at this time, he had no intention to resist.

The world’s best scam is to deceive even oneself.

Lind smoothly asked, "Do you have a Legendary Heart of Calamity?"

"I can grant you the strongest power."

Coincidentally, whether it was his "loyal" consciousness or his "spectator" consciousness, neither wanted the Abyss to lend him the power.

A small part was okay, but to solve the many deities of the Alliance, he needed at least the strength of the 6th or even 7th level.

Such immense power entering his body, what difference would it be from being directly replaced by the Abyss?

The Abyss likely didn’t like his body either.

Lind, head lowered, said, "Your power is too strong, I’m afraid I can’t endure it. I still need to preserve a useful body to fight for you in the future."

The Abyss didn’t say much about Lind’s attitude, perhaps accustomed to each of its subordinates being fearfully and absolutely loyal.

The Abyss asked, "What do you want the Heart of Calamity for?"

"I’ve obtained a few Magic Potion formulas that can seize some power from the Knights of the Apocalypse."

"Granted!"

He agreed just like that.

Even if the Abyss possessed the method of cultivation, it shouldn’t have been so readily agreed upon.

But he couldn’t bother with that much, it was better to seize the benefit first. He had searched the entire Magic Land for over a year and hadn’t found the Legendary Heart of Calamity, he even began to doubt whether the ingredients for the Magic Potion recipe could ever be completely gathered.

Now, receiving the Legendary Heart of Calamity was good news.

The Abyss said, "Speed up, I need more power to break free from the Seal."

Lind promptly asked, "Where are you?"

"In the Scholar Ancient Ruins of Misty Rain City, guarded by a very old Dragon, the damned Hastings."

"Dragon?"

Lind had been searching for dragons for a long time and unexpectedly heard about one from the Abyss today.

Of course, he knew Hastings, one of the Knights of the Apocalypse, the Dragon Knight.

So, the Abyss was initially targeted by Storm Knight Mien, and then, after who knows what, was defeated and finally guarded by the Dragon of Dragon Knight Hastings.

Indeed, worthy of being one of the Four Knights under the Sun’s Testament, one of the Three Gods, their power was enough to suppress the Abyss.

Seven rings? Eight rings, or perhaps nine?!

As the dark tide receded, the Abyss dispersed its consciousness, ending this enforced "private chat."

Those wriggling maggots all stayed inside Lind’s body, as a reward from the Abyss.

Lind immediately drew out his Soul Blade, and without thinking, thrust it into his own body, stabbing the maggots to death one by one.

Only he, skilled and courageous, could stab his own soul without dying, and without his soul dissipating and losing all trace of existence for good.

When he stopped, the Abyssal maggots had been completely eradicated, and all became a small snack for the Serpent Ring Emblem.

Meanwhile, at the Scholar Ancient Ruins,

where the sealed Abyss was located, a writhing, bizarre meat flower broke through the soil, opening its four lobes dripping with saliva, filled with teeth.

"Legendary Heart of Calamity."

The Abyss watched the meat flower quietly. It didn’t know how to create a Legendary Heart of Calamity; producing Abyssal Lords for battle was its main concern, those residual thoughts in its dead brain mattered little.

However, since it was something its completely controlled general needed, the Abyss could manage to create a few.

A Legendary Abyssal Lord was rapidly hatched.

As it was born, a psychic storm swept out, striking the Seal and causing a ripple.

The next moment, the yet unnamed Abyssal Lord’s body exploded, leaving only a crystal clear Heart of Calamity, its strength reabsorbed by the Abyss again.

Producing such a Heart of Calamity wasn’t a small expenditure, especially since the Abyss, except for Lind, currently had no other power in the outside world.

Indeed, had Lind not provided the required Heart when the Abyss needed, the Abyss had thought of simply killing Lind—after all, it could use the previous method to let several Abyssal Lords around the four-ring level open the Great Rift and start a campaign.

But as Lind said, with the awakening of All Gods, the strength baseline was five rings.

Even as powerful as the Abyss couldn’t confidently resist the multitude of deities from the Material Plane.

Upon thinking this way, it turned out investing a few Legendary Hearts of Calamity in Lind was the least costly. Lind, after all, was a powerful being who had defeated the Beast King; his potential was at least six rings. If the Abyss could easily produce six-ring Abyssal Lords, it wouldn’t have to cooperate with the Beast King.

After listening to Lind that time, the Abyss chose to retreat, later wasting much time, now was the choice to subsidize a few more Legendary Hearts of Calamity or simply cut losses promptly. The answer was clear.

Definitely continue investing.

The Abyss, which enjoyed enticing others into corruption, could hardly be a rational being. Greed, infinitely desiring, that was its true nature.

Just like that, one after another, Legendary Abyssal Lords were hatched, exterminated, their Legendary Hearts of Calamity extracted.

Far away on the Enstad Continent, Lind suddenly felt the Abyss’s connection again.

Then, five Legendary Hearts of Calamity fell before him.

"Magnificent!"
