Chapter 211: The Current State of the Abyss

"This is a place that can corrode all living things and cause all creatures to fall into filth!" The crew on the ship were all somewhat fearful.

"You all shall anchor the ship here," Chumen instructed, then gripped his palm, and a curtain of light enveloped the entire ship, isolating it from the Corruption.

"Let's go!" Chumen stepped off the deck and headed toward the Abyss.

Following along were Bethel and Amon.

Roselle blinked, his brows furrowed tightly, and finally, gritting his teeth, he followed directly; that was the Abyss, a place no adventurer had ever reached before.

Who wouldn't be curious!?

"You all wait here for my return!"

"You? Heh." Amon glanced at Roselle with surprise. "First time seeing a fishhook actively offer itself to a fish's mouth."

"Hmph!" Roselle ignored Amon, who had once played a terrifying prank on him, and directly tore the Silver Medal from his chest.

The patterns on the Silver Medal naturally radiated an aura, protecting him.

Amon blinked. "This thing is quite good; can you lend it to me to play with?"

"No." Roselle followed closely in Chumen's footsteps.

"Tsk!" Amon reached out his hand, but was unable to steal the thing he wanted.

This Silver Medal was compensation given to Roselle by Chumen, and it could not be stolen.

Their group stepped onto the black seawater without any sign of sinking, and gradually, thick fog gushed out from the Abyss, obscuring their vision.

"What the hell is this?" A Little Sun appeared in Roselle's hand, illuminating the path ahead.

Soon, they saw a mountain peak growing out of the sea.

The peak rose several thousand meters above sea level, resembling the horn of a living Monster.

"This is the horn of the 'Abyss'," Bethel replied from the side.

This "Abyss" is the highest-ranking being of the "Abyss" Pathway, the Demon Monarch Fabuti; of course, He also has a new name, which is the "Universe Dark Side".

The entire horn was broken off from Fabuti's demon body by Sasriel back when He was sealing Fabuti, and it landed here.

Roselle looked down into the water broken by the demon horn; it was pitch black, and he only felt that this was the true Abyss, without end, without limit.

Tap! Amon didn't know where he had picked up a stone and threw it into the darkness.

The stone fell for an unknown distance, making no sound, as if it had been swallowed.

"The situation is a bit wrong," Chumen suddenly sighed.

"Is it because we didn't see traces of that person?" Bethel asked.

"More or less." Chumen waved his hand, and a Dream Phosphor revealed the entire scene beneath the demon horn.

It was a world of absolute dead silence; there was no vitality in the land of that world, only corpses—endless demon corpses.

All the demon corpses were stacked together abnormally, as if they had encountered the same death at the same moment.

An unknown fear spread within the Abyss, and dead silence shrouded everyone's heart.

"All the demon Characteristics in the Abyss are gone." Bethel had a grave expression in the face of this bizarre situation.

One must know that at the very least, more than half of the demons in this world lived in the Abyss.

And now, these low- and mid-sequence demons were all dead, and even their Characteristics were gone.

"They were probably all sucked away in an instant; what a powerful force," Amon was actually somewhat envious.

"I am going down for a trip; you all stay here."

Chumen stared at the Abyss for a long time, his brows slightly furrowed; this was a huge change from when he had come here back then.

"Alright!" Bethel agreed, and even Amon had no intention of going down.

Chumen reached out and sliced an opening in the Space, jumping straight down.

"Is this safe?" Roselle couldn't help but ask.

"Since Teacher has come, there is nothing that can stump him," Bethel explained to Roselle with a light chuckle.

"Is he even more powerful than 'Mr. Door'?" Roselle's eyes rolled as he began to probe in various ways.

"Of course!" Bethel's expression turned solemn.

"Could it be that he is truly a True God?" This was the highest rank Roselle knew of.

"..." Bethel knew Roselle's thoughts well and pondered for a moment.

"The number of True Gods who have died by his hand is more than one," Amon suddenly spoke up, looking at Roselle with great interest, finding his shocked and speechless expression very delightful.

"Teacher is not someone who kills gods indiscriminately!" Bethel couldn't help but explain.

Roselle's expression twisted even more; since when could "gods" and "killing indiscriminately" be combined in a phrase?!

Beneath the endless Abyss, Chumen walked on the seams of Space as if walking on flat ground, heading toward the deepest layer of the Abyss he had once visited.

Before the Ancient Sun God had reached the summit, he had come here once with Amanises and Lilith, and had set a trap for Fabuti at the time.

And now, he alone was enough.

"Open Door"!

Chumen placed his hand into the void and twisted it gently.

It was as if a door had been opened, and Chumen entered directly into that deepest world of the Abyss.

Boom!

Before Chumen even had time to step into the deepest layer of the Abyss, a terrifying wave composed of starlight had already struck the Space Gate he had opened, intending to completely seal the door.

"Fabuti?" Chumen asked softly, but in reality, he had already switched his state; he was now the "Supreme Dream" who had initially grasped the "Dream" Authority!

His words thus carried a sense of "wishes coming true" and "Fantasy becoming reality."

Since he called out "Fabuti," the one directing this attack would not be the "Mother Tree of Desire."

The difference between the two was vast.

Sure enough, after the wish came true, the impact of that sea of starlight weakened, allowing Chumen to step directly into that space.

"It's you!" Fabuti's Demonic Babble rang in Chumen's ears; his wariness of Chumen was second only to that Third Epoch Creator who had pinned him in the Abyss, unable to move.

"That's right, I've come to visit the prison." A phosphorescent light flashed in Chumen's eyes, instantly piercing through the state of the entire bottom layer of the Abyss.

The first thing he saw was the center of the bottom layer of the Abyss, where a patch of Shadow was pulsating.

And above that Shadow, a mass of grayish-white mist was surging.

"As expected, it's still this thing." Chumen was not particularly surprised.

At the end of the Fourth Epoch, the Western Continent Seal of the "Lord of the Mysteries" had already been repaired by him and Bethel, but there were always some places he had ignored, such as this Abyss.

This place was the land of the world's Filth, and it had some unspeakable connection with the Source Quality "Shadow World," making it the most susceptible to erosion.

This was the original intention of the Ancient Sun God in placing a Seal here; while imprisoning Fabuti, He also made him act as a "Jailer" to guard this "weak point."

And now, this "Demon Monarch" Fabuti seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
