Chapter 4047: Suppression

~24 min read 4,615 words

No. 5 Abyss spreading zone, darkness diffused here. However, this place was unusually calm today, and no beast duels were held. All Abyss beasts went to other Abyss spreading zones. The reason was that the will of an Abyss existence made these Abyss beasts leave sensibly.

At this moment, located near the No. 5 Abyss passage, a hell playground temporarily arrived here. The owner of the playground didn't show up; it was also invited by that Abyss existence to come here.

The slaughter clown in the playground laughed loudly, and in this laughter, there were other laughs.

"Ah!!"

The Abyss Daughter sat on the skeleton roller coaster, feeling the skeleton roller coaster almost break through the spatial constraints and roar into an unknown dangerous different space, making her heart beat wildly. As for her younger sister Delona behind her, she had already fallen asleep with happiness. Ayesha was very calm, so calm that the white silk threads in her pitch-black eyes had already started to spin in a vortex.

In the seat behind them was a little boy who looked seven or eight years old, carved in pink and jade, but with pitch-black pupils and several ceramic-like cracks on his fair cheeks. This was the Abyss Daughter's younger brother, Abyss Son Ekim. However, there was not only one Abyss Son.

Ekim had no father at the bloodline level. Its causality source was the contemporary Abyss Lord, nurtured by the dark precipitation at the bottom of the Abyss, and raised by the dark hotbed. Therefore, it was the younger brother of the Abyss Daughter and Delona.

Ekim had always been by its mother's side. Beside it was the jellyfish sister who was human-shaped overall but had a body structure like a jellyfish, and who was almost pinched to death by Su Xiao last time.

The jellyfish sister was already a bit socially anxious. Last time, she sneaked to Su Xiao's side to observe, but the behavior of almost being pinched to death made her even more socially anxious. The jellyfish sister, who had never been very brave, was now looking up, her mouth slightly open, and vomit remained at the corner of her mouth. It looked like she had already gone.

When the skeleton roller coaster stopped, except for the Abyss Daughter who was in a full-blood state with a face full of pleasure, Ayesha sat there silently in a daze. Delona, Ekim, and the jellyfish sister all had different postures of dizziness.

"Wake up, you three. Playing such an exciting project and sleeping so soundly. Eh? Ekim, why is water coming out of your eye sockets? You're crying. Is it because you're too happy and haven't played such a fun thing before?"

Half an hour later.

In the Abyss Daughter's eyes full of reluctance, the hell playground gradually disappeared. She also waved politely.

"Tsk~, it was clearly fun..."

In the direct gaze of five pairs of eyes, the Abyss Daughter's voice grew smaller. As for why it was five pairs, the jellyfish sister had two pairs of eyes alone.

"Alright, I'll take you to the No. 0 Abyss spreading zone of this world. That's the Rune family's territory. Of course, we few small fries won't be taken into account by the Rune family, but the old beast of the Rune family still has to give face to mother. By the way, do you want to see the Rune family's beast arena? That's the only way to become a member of the Rune family. In my opinion, the Rune family's inheritance method is truly immortal."

The Abyss Daughter led the way in front. Her appearance looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Delona didn't need to say more. Since her Abyss physique reawakened, her appearance had returned to that of thirteen or fourteen years old. After all, in the Abyss system, the age she spent as a human could only be considered childhood.

The jellyfish sister and Ekim didn't need to say more, especially Ekim. If it weren't for its appearance being more Abyss-like, it would definitely be in the big class of kindergarten. If it made a big effort, it would look like the first grade of elementary school.

Therefore, it became the Abyss Daughter and Delona looking at this and that in front, sometimes teasing the hidden Abyss creatures, while Ayesha behind held her younger brother's little hand in one hand and her younger sister's translucent blue tentacles in the other.

"There is a teleportation device in front, we..."

The Abyss Daughter's words just reached this point when her footsteps stopped.

A rich bloody smell came from the front. She narrowed her eyes and looked. The scene in front of her was full of broken limbs and arms, as well as Abyss creatures in a half-dead state with only half their bodies left.

Among them, an Abyss creature with a single horn was trembling and struggling. The cruelty and cunning in its eyes in the past were replaced by despair and fear. From the rough marks on its wounds, it looked like it had been torn apart by violence, and also like it had been... bitten off by flat teeth.

After the sound of tearing flesh, there was cruel chewing. The Abyss Daughter saw that a huge Abyss creature had been eaten until its huge, white ribs were exposed. Beside this Abyss giant beast was a tall figure with two bull demon horns and black smoke rising all over its body.

This figure was nearly ten meters tall. Compared to that Abyss giant beast, it was not large in size, but it could easily tear off a large piece of flesh from the giant beast's corpse every time. It felt as if there was a force that wrapped this large piece of flesh down. It only took three or four times to tear the Abyss giant beast until only a giant skeleton remained.

This extra-large piece of flesh reached the black smoke bull demon's mouth and was bitten off by more than half as if it had been compressed. That is to say, this Abyss giant beast nearly a thousand meters long was eaten up in four or five bites in the black smoke bull demon's mouth.

What was even more terrifying was that behind this black smoke bull demon was a large area of skeleton remains that could not be seen to the end.

Chewing and swallowing the last piece of flesh, the black smoke bull demon licked the black blood on its hands, and those blood-red eyes that revealed red light looked at the Abyss Daughter and the others.

"Run!"

As soon as the Abyss Daughter's voice fell, she felt a wind pressure coming from the front. This was a savage speed brought by physical strength without any ability blessing.

Darkness blocked the front. The Abyss Daughter swallowed her saliva. She seemed to already know what this was. This was... the "Gluttony Original Sin" that had been silent at the bottom of the Abyss for two eras.

Feeling this "hunger" coming toward her, the Abyss Daughter knew it was over this time. Her immortality was based on being "killed," but the causality corresponding to "Gluttony Original Sin" was "eaten." Once she suffered this kind of encounter, she would really die. Especially, she was not sure whether her mother was staring at this place now.

The Gluttony Bull Demon squatted in front of the Abyss Daughter, looking down at this form made of black iron sand, seemingly considering whether this was delicious. It looked at the others behind the Abyss Daughter, but when its gaze fell on Delona, it paused for a moment, as if trying hard to recall something. Finally, it got up and walked into the darkness in the distance.

The Abyss Daughter stood blankly in place. The feeling of surviving a disaster made her legs go soft, and she sat on the ground. The same was true for Delona, the jellyfish sister, and Ekim. As Abyss-type, this was quite shameful, but considering that they were generally in the childhood stage, this could also be understood.

Ayesha's eyes, which were pitch-black and covered with stars and white lines, looked at Amu who was going away. She said calmly: "Delona, elder brother has come here."

"Eh?"

Delona was a bit stunned.

"That seems to be elder brother's follower. It's called... Amu."

"Ah?! That's Amu?"

Delona was shocked.

"Yes."

Getting this reply, Delona showed a serious look. She bit her thumb nail and considered it before saying: "Then let's go find elder brother."

Delona's proposal received Ayesha's silent approval.

"Oppose, oppose!"

The Abyss Daughter immediately spoke out. She was terrified of the Law-Breaker who sealed six "Big Daddy-level Original Sin Objects."

"Mm mm mm."

The jellyfish sister nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the Abyss Daughter. She was more afraid of that Law-Breaker than the Abyss Daughter. Last time, she almost died.

The vote entered 2 to 2. Everyone looked at Ekim. It now had the decisive vote.

Ekim shrank its head. It originally wanted to say oppose, but when the words reached its lips, the evil consciousness in its heart had already bewitched it in its ear, while the angel consciousness on the other side kept persuading it to stay away from danger. Finally, it said timidly:

"I, agree with Delona's proposal."

"Yay!"

"No~!!"

The Abyss Daughter's shout echoed far away in the Abyss. In the depths of the Abyss connected by the darkness, an Abyss existence was just watching quietly. Its dark purple tentacles, which were so huge that they could not be seen to the end, were surging slowly with love.

Inside the Minister's office on the third floor of the Imperial Special Affairs Department.

Wearing light red sunglasses, a beige coat on her upper body, black high heels on her lower body, dragging a large suitcase in her hand, chewing gum in her mouth, Reshma, who was dressed for an outing, stood in front of the desk with a faint smile.

"Minister, my annual leave still has 40 days. Before you officially took office, I had already approved myself 40 days of annual leave. This is the approval slip. Is there anything inappropriate?"

Deputy Minister Reshma's eyes under the crimson sunglasses hid a smile. She had already made it clear that she was unconvinced, but she was not prepared to confront the new Minister directly. After all, this person was a ruthless man enabled by His Majesty the King whom she respected. Since that was the case, she would leave temporarily.

Saying she was leaving temporarily, Reshma was of course worried about the current confusing situation. Therefore, she prepared to sneak from the surface into the dark. Perhaps she could do more things this way.

"Reshma."

Su Xiao spoke, which made Reshma respond politely. Unconvinced was unconvinced, but basic etiquette still had to be there.

"How can the Imperial Special Affairs Department be without you, this deputy minister? Just like it can't be without those two geniuses. You are all rare talents."

Su Xiao generally didn't play with people's mentality in language. The problem was, his follower Baha was a top expert at playing with people's mentality. In this regard, knowing how to do it and not knowing how to do it were two different things.

If someone else said this, Reshma would only sneer. But these words came from Su Xiao, the Minister of the Imperial Special Affairs Department, which made the smile on Reshma's face visibly stall.

As for the two geniuses Su Xiao mentioned, they were the "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" duo he saw at the main entrance earlier. These two, one named Baken and the other named Beck. In the Empire, these were very common names, equivalent to Li Gou Dan or Wang Er Gou.

These two brothers were both Dog race. They came from a small tribe outside the border, called the Gray Mane Dog race. Please don't misunderstand, that was not Imperial territory, but uncivilized natives. The reason was that their IQ was indeed not very good.

These two brothers, let's call them the Er Gou brothers. Don't look at the Er Gou brothers' smart appearance. The older brother spoke without going through his brain, and the younger brother's eyes seemed to have their own ideas, often one up and one down. But they could be called the IQ ceiling of the Gray Mane Dog race.

The Gray Mane Dog race was a race that lived by plundering. Every autumn, they would plunder other tribes to hoard food for the winter. The problem was, they plundered to death and didn't leave a single bit of winter food for the plundered tribe. When the spring came the next year, the plundered tribes would of course starve to death.

Over time, with the Gray Mane Dog tribe as the center, there were no tribes within a long distance. Seeing this scene, the older of the Er Gou brothers suggested to the chief that in the future, don't plunder everything. Leave some winter food for the plundered tribe. In this way, next autumn, there would still be something to plunder.

Such wise remarks fell into the ears of the Gray Mane Dog chief and a group of tribesmen, and they were amazed! Then the Er Gou brothers were "encouraged" by the whole tribe, and the brothers were "encouraged" until they almost died on the spot. Finally, the brothers, who were beaten half to death, were abandoned by the tribe in the wilderness dirt ditch. The reason was that the Gray Mane Dog tribe didn't need such fools.

In the office, Reshma's expression had returned to normal. She was prepared to wait and see.

"No matter how you look at it, you are more suitable to be this Minister than me."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, Reshma felt a bit confused. She suddenly felt that this guy's wisdom seemed... not easy to deal with.

"Oh? Do you mean you want to give the Minister's position to me?"

Reshma said this, and a gentle smile returned to her face, entering her most accustomed state.

"Yes."

After Su Xiao finished speaking, he got up, walked to Reshma's side, pointed to the Minister's position opposite, and signaled to Reshma that she was the Minister now.

Reshma smiled more naturally, got up, came to the opposite side, and sat in the Minister's position. She had long been accustomed to this seat, and this office leather chair was customized by her at a high price of 2800 Kugo (Imperial general currency), a snow bear skin seat.

Reshma sat down naturally. The next second, the shoulder emblem belonging to the Minister was pushed in front of her, which made her increasingly natural expression change slightly. She asked:

"Then may I ask Mr. Bai Ye, what are you going to do next?"

"You are the Minister, you have the final say."

"Is that so? Then what did His Majesty the King explain before?"

"Exterminate all the gods."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, Reshma's expression stiffened. Suddenly, she felt that this familiar seat suddenly became like sitting on pins and needles.

In the silence of both sides, Su Xiao opened the pocket watch in his hand again and looked at the time, which made Reshma immediately vigilant, because from the beginning of the negotiation until now, the other party had already looked at this pocket watch for the third time.

"Mr. Bai Ye, do you have an urgent matter?"

"No, just following your order as Minister, it is expected that in 3 seconds..."

*Boom~*

Like the sound of fireworks exploding, it came from afar. Reshma rushed to the window and saw that the thousand-meter-high building standing in the King District far away had its top spraying flames into the sky like a flamethrower.

She judged at the first time that this was attacking the headquarters of the "Mechanical God Church" in the Royal City by controlling the explosion range, using the defensive spells of the highest building in the Royal City to seal it and blow it up.

Reshma's only feeling at this moment was that it was over, she had been fooled, and she was going to take the blame.

Su Xiao closed the pocket watch in his hand with a *snap*, looked at the large suitcase on the ground, and asked: "Minister, are you preparing to flee in fear of crime?"

As soon as this was said, Reshma became even more silent. She took a few deep breaths, weighed it, came to Su Xiao, handed back the Minister's shoulder emblem, and said: "Minister, please forgive my recklessness just now."

Seeing this, Baha on the side said sarcastically: "Heh~, the youngest supreme powerhouse in the Empire."

Reshma just continued to take deep breaths. Her eyes, which were originally full of spirit, became a bit dim. She tried hard not to show her emotions. Obviously, Reshma's mentality was undergoing some kind of change quietly.

Su Xiao didn't take the Minister's shoulder emblem. He stared at Reshma for more than ten seconds and said:

"People like you are rare. It's even rarer to be able to restrain the evil in your heart for so long."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Reshma's pupils, which were already dim, became even dimmer, and the expression on her face gradually became uncontrollable, revealing a faint smile.

Seen through. Reshma had always believed that she was disguised very well. In the eyes of her subordinates, she was a cold but responsible superior. In the eyes of her superiors, she was the youngest supreme powerhouse in the Empire. In the eyes of her relatives and friends, she was a reliable family member. In her mother's eyes, she was that strong and excellent daughter.

Only in the eyes of her deceased father did Reshma never see family affection. This instead made her feel comfortable in her heart. She didn't need others to love her. She longed to see others suffer, which would make her heart feel quiet and subtle pleasure.

She would never show this pleasure, but she longed for this quiet pleasure.

She still remembered the look of guilt in her father's eyes when he looked at her. When she was young, she didn't understand, but after growing up, she figured it out. This quiet evil in her heart was that her father, who fought against evil all his life, was subjected to highly hidden pollution during a fight with powerful evil.

With her father's strength, he would not be affected by this hidden evil. The problem was that this hidden evil was hereditary, inherited by Reshma, took root and sprouted in her heart, and finally fused with her.

*Crack~! *

The subtle sound of teeth biting into flesh, and even biting into finger bones, appeared. It was Reshma biting her index finger. This made her dim pupils quickly return to brightness, which meant she had to suppress herself again.

This time, Reshma didn't even dare to look at Su Xiao again and walked quickly out of the office. She had already determined that she was overestimating her ability today. What she challenged was not of the same magnitude as herself. This monster was of the same level as the old King and those old monsters hidden behind the three major forces.

Su Xiao sat down in the leather chair. Reshma's hand gripped the office door handle, just about to twist it to open the door.

"You really don't want to be yourself for a while."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, Reshma's hand twisting the door handle seemed to be frozen. Her hand was trembling slightly, and the light in her pupils began to dim again. Suddenly, the earring on her right ear glowed with a pale golden light, which made her pupils return to brightness again, and the action of opening the door and leaving began to be firm.

"What a pity. I originally wanted to recruit some subordinates who could be at your disposal and wouldn't die easily. Now it seems you don't want this opportunity."

Su Xiao put away the pocket watch in his hand. When he saw Reshma for the first time, he knew that this was the deputy captain of his "Imperial Squad." But now it seemed that someone was helping Reshma suppress herself. It seemed that he needed to slaughter that person, because cultivating Reshma well was related to whether he could complete the "Abyss Quest: Death Endowment" with two "Extreme Quest Completion Degrees" in this world.

Reshma's hand holding the door handle was trembling slightly. Seeing this.

"One month. I will stay here for at least one month. After one month, I will help you suppress yourself."

As soon as these words came out, Reshma could no longer control it. Her pupils became completely dim, and there was a faint smile on her face. She took off her coat, sat opposite Su Xiao, leaned back with a somewhat lazy temperament, and asked in a flat tone without any emotional fluctuations:

"Minister, you just said that you would assign me some subordinates with tenacious vitality?"

"Yes."

"Where are they?"

"At the latest this afternoon."

The people Su Xiao mentioned, although they were all powerful, could be tortured by Reshma at will. With his current status, he was fully qualified to requisition all the criminals in heavy prisons throughout the Empire. Moreover, this official document had the handwritten signature of His Majesty the King, and the effect was full.

With the Empire's huge population and land area, all cities combined had a total of 950,000 prisons, of which 260,000 were large prisons. Among these large prisons, a total of 20,000 were heavy-duty prisons holding powerful people.

In these 20,000 heavy-duty prisons, a total of 24,850 criminals were escorted. Deputy Minister Tuo Enta was responsible for this matter. In order to achieve it as soon as possible, he could use the power of a full-time Minister to dispatch all the current powers of the "Imperial Special Affairs Department."

Tuo Enta didn't let Su Xiao down. It only took one morning to complete the selection and assembly of the criminals. Of course, this was also because the civil servants of the "Imperial Special Affairs Department" were highly efficient, and the "intimate notification" to the wardens of major prisons.

The content was very simple: before noon, if the heavy criminals on the list were not sent to the designated location, it was not dismissal, but handled according to violating the wartime dispatch order.

This was of course unreasonable. If it were in the past, the wardens would have taken this matter to the council. But in the current situation, they chose to do it honestly and pretend that this matter was reasonable.

Their lives might not be guaranteed, which made these wardens, who usually fished for all the oil and water, erupt with amazing efficiency. They paid out of their own pockets and personally pressed the prisoners to the large teleportation towers in various cities.

Because of this, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, and all the criminals gathered in the ancient underground palace 700 kilometers southeast of the Royal City. Because these wardens were too efficient, the barrier hadn't been set up yet.

At ten o'clock in the morning, these criminals, who relied on the Empire's abolition of the death penalty after the Three Ministers came to power and thus were not executed, began their journey of redemption.

Why was it a journey of redemption? The answer was that these 24,850 criminals had to complete the arduous task of eradicating evil before twelve o'clock at noon. In other words, before twelve o'clock at noon, only 300 criminals could walk out of here alive. Otherwise, the barrier would shrink to the size of a Rubik's Cube, forcibly fusing them into one.

As for these criminals, they were all powerful. Joining forces to shatter the barrier? From 7:30 in the morning until now, the "Imperial Special Affairs Department" had mobilized all the barrier masters that could be mobilized, and even temporarily dismantled the barrier hub of the headquarters to use as the barrier for this place.

Of course, if the criminals still wanted to try, the Imperial Second Legion stationed outside the underground palace could also meet them.

Buses drove into the open courtyard of the "Imperial Special Affairs Department." Before long, men and women wearing gray clothes and special collars around their necks walked off the bus. Although they had all been cleaned, one could still see dots of blood on them, and most of them were injured.

"Are they the ones?"

By the window, Reshma, who hadn't completely released herself, still had some unbearable eyes.

"..."

Su Xiao threw a thick document on the table. Reshma picked it up and flipped through it. A moment later, there was a smile on her face.

"Thank you for your gift, Lord Bai Ye."

"Take them and go clean up the Abyss spreading zone..."

Su Xiao gave Reshma the first order: start cleaning up from the No. 25 Abyss spreading zone and gradually move upward. During this period, if you encounter supreme-level "Immortal Abyss-nourishing creatures," then severely injure them through siege and imprison them, waiting for yourself to solve them.

If not encountered, wait until you kill near the Abyss passage and contact him, and he will teleport to the nearby area and close the Abyss passage himself.

The combination of Reshma leading these criminals was still in its infancy. Only when these criminals died until only a dozen or so were left would the "Imperial Squad" officially take shape.

*Boom, boom, boom~*

The office door was knocked. It was the previous Honorary Second Lieutenant Wells. The other party was now the Chief Captain of the Third Department of the "Imperial Special Affairs Department." Don't underestimate this position. In the Imperial official position, it corresponded to the treatment of a deputy mayor or lieutenant colonel not directly under the city area, belonging to multiple promotions.

The door was pushed open. Morei, Hao Mei, and Moon Apostle walked into the office. The three of them were full of sorrow, thinking that their luck had turned, but as soon as they arrived in this world, they were arrested by the violent agency of the strongest force in this world.

Originally, Morei, Hao Mei, and Moon Apostle, who had promoted to supreme, wanted to resist, but after seeing dozens of airships overhead and the biological orbital cannons protruding from the airships, plus the lineup of those who were at least absolute strength and supreme strength as if they didn't need money, the Apocalypse sisters decisively raised their hands to surrender with backbone.

As for why it was said to have backbone, there was no begging for mercy throughout the process.

"You..."

Morei was about to say something when she suddenly saw Su Xiao throw a soul coin, and the little old man who appeared out of thin air and caught the falling soul coin with one hand was the combination of Su Xiao and Caesar.

Seeing these two at the same time, Morei's only feeling was: *'It's over.'*

Morei took a deep breath, raised her right hand, pointed her index finger at Su Xiao, and shouted: "Have... have the guts to duel one-on-one!"

A moment later, Morei, who sniffed her nosebleed and had a slightly bruised left eye, moved her left leg that had just been splinted. Don't say, don't say, that kind of potion that could penetrate the skin with bright red really had a very good therapeutic effect on bone fractures. In just a short while, the bones had grown well. ===== CHAPTER 4048 =====
