Chapter 1558: Chapter 966: The Path of Transcendence (XV): Devouring the Abyss (Part 2)
Instead, there came a full-on disgruntled and helpless complaint:
"Tch! Can you three have some backbone! I was waiting to see some jokes!"
"Alright, alright, you’re really getting off easy! You little ones, follow the instructions of the Lord God and send these cowardly bastards to the subordinate hall to serve..."
"Aren’t you stating the obvious?! Even if they come, I’m still the boss of the Demon Maze!"
"Get to work!..."
Amidst the faint roars, the vortex disappeared, and the void gradually calmed.
But the Demon Gods had all vanished.
Only the demon army on the ground, with glazed-over eyes, remained, and the Abyss Myths on both sides, glaring at each other... as if they still hadn’t figured out the situation.
The pressure that enveloped the battlefield was gone.
That was Eve withdrawing the power targeted at the Demon Gods.
The demon army on the ground paused for several seconds, then began shrieking in horror and fled in all directions.
The remaining Abyss Myths also turned to run, but before they could take a few steps, they were sucked into suddenly appearing void passages...
Even the demons fleeing on the ground did not escape.
In mid-air, faint laughter echoed from the other side of the passage:
"Hahaha! What a harvest! Today is truly a harvest..."
A moment later, the entire world returned to tranquility.
The ground was completely empty, nothing remained, only the endless wasteland of Hell.
Eve turned their head aside.
They looked at a place in the void and chuckled softly:
"Helair, have you seen enough this time?"
In the next moment, the void twisted, and Helair’s figure slowly emerged.
Their expression was somber, and they looked at Eve with serious eyes, yet within the depth of their pupils, there was hidden fear and astonishment.
"It’s just you left, tell me your answer."
Eve said.
Meanwhile, a force and law even more vast and majestic than before locked onto Demon God Helair.
Helair was silent.
After several seconds, they sighed deeply:
"I suppose, I have no choice..."
Eve nodded, and in the next moment, a void passage appeared behind Helair as well.
"Wait!"
Helair suddenly spoke.
Within Eve’s surprised gaze, they turned around, took a deep look in the direction of the abyss, and sighed:
"I’ll walk there myself."
Saying so, they turned and entered the vortex leading to the Demon Maze.
However, just at the moment of entry, they paused and said:
"Eve... I admit, you now possess a power that even all the myths of our abyss combined cannot resist."
"However, what I want to say is, even if you can seal us, even if you can eliminate all the demons, you cannot control the abyss through controlling us, let alone completely defeat and merge with the abyss!"
"Because... you don’t even know what the will of the abyss truly is!"
Helair’s expression was solemn, faintly carrying a hint of mockery.
Yet, Eve just chuckled softly:
"The will of the abyss? Isn’t that just the creator’s consciousness avatar?"
Helair was stunned.
At that moment, they fell silent.
Seconds later, they sighed softly:
"It seems you already knew..."
"Given that, you should also know that the abyss can only ever belong to the creator, even if it is destroyed, it cannot be taken..."
"Even if you forcibly subdued us, sealed us, or even gained our allegiance, you could not wield the power of the abyss through us!"
Eve laughed again:
"So now that you have surrendered to me, can you still wield the power of the abyss?"
Upon hearing Eve’s words, Helair was slightly taken aback.
Then, seemingly realizing something, they abruptly looked at Eve, eyes full of disbelief and shock:
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Eve simply smiled at them, saying nothing.
Helair’s expression shifted several times.
Ultimately, they looked at Eve deeply:
"I understand now..."
With that, they abruptly bowed to Eve, then turned and entered the void passage.
Without a trace of hesitation.
The portal disappeared, and the world returned to tranquility.
Henceforth, not a single Demon God remained in the Abyss.
Having accomplished this, Eve’s gaze swept over the Hell Plane, her expression contemplative:
"So it is..."
After a brief silence, her figure flickered away from Hell.
The next moment, her silhouette appeared above the Endless Abyss.
Standing above the Abyss, she looked down at the Abyss World, resembling a black whirlpool, and gently spread her arms.
The Yggdrasil behind her suddenly shone brightly, and the roots that had penetrated the Abyss began to grow again.
Subsequently, massive twisted whirlpools appeared at the end of each root, targeting the Abyss World below...
Sealing the Demon Gods was certainly not the end.
Completely eliminating the threats of the Abyss was the ultimate goal.
Eve pressed her hand downward, and the deep whirlpools started to spin.
In the next moment, a stunning scene unfolded.
Just like stirred water in a pool, planes within the Abyss were suddenly pulled from the endless darkness toward the World Tree under the tremendous suction of the whirlpools...
One after another... plane after plane.
At this moment, Eve directly targeted the entire Abyss and commenced devouring and fusion!
Thus, all myths in the Segis Universe witnessed this scene—
The vast power of the void churned, and brilliant Divine Power erupted.
In the shocked gaze of all mythic figures, the World Tree standing above the Abyss absorbed the dark Abyss entirely, akin to a dragon sucking water...
The absorption and fusion started slowly, but the speed gradually increased.
In merely ten minutes, the Abyss, which had been expanding beneath the Segis Universe over time and troubling countless myths, was entirely absorbed by Eve’s body...
Even the remaining Hell planes did not escape.
When the storm in the void gradually calmed down, the entire appearance of the Segis Universe had changed.
The Abyss at the bottom of the universe had completely vanished.
In its place, the twisted and strong root system of the World Tree emerged.
Those roots were a brown-black color, with intriguing patterns and deep fluctuations faintly visible.
These were the planes of the Abyss that had been absorbed, and the seven layers of Hell were directly absorbed by the thickest main root.
The plane fusion, which once took a considerable amount of time and preparation, was now as simple as drinking water and eating food under Eve’s new power.
The gods of the Segis Universe were stunned.
They gazed at the towering figure in the center of the universe with nothing but deep reverence in their eyes.
Even those who had opinions about Eve’s actions in fusing the planes felt only immense shock at this moment...
Eve’s incarnation still stood in the void.
Her gaze rested on the bottom of the universe where the Abyss had disappeared.
More precisely, it was the majestic temple gradually appearing at the bottom after the Abyss had vanished.
That was the Land of Origin.
More accurately, it was the temple gate leading to the Land of Origin.
The successful devouring of the Abyss counted as solving the last hidden threat.
And this smooth process also confirmed another bold conjecture in Eve’s heart...
Next, it was time to meet an "old friend" after decades.
The next moment, Eve flickered and appeared before the temple in the Land of Origin.
Without needing to take out a key, the temple gate automatically opened with a hum.
Eve was not surprised, as if she had expected it.
She stepped forward and entered.
Just like the previous visits, the Land of Origin had not changed.
Eve passed through shattered cosmoses and finally arrived before the last temple symbolizing the Segis World.
She stepped forward, and the temple door slowly opened.
The dark void, elongated stone path, and at the end of the path was still that stele recording the history of the Segis Universe.
Yet, at this moment, a figure had already appeared before the stele.
It was none other than Rigdar, the Starry Sky Guardian, who had disappeared for a full thirty years!
He did not turn around at Eve’s entrance but faced the stele, extending his hand to record something on it.
The void echoed with his aged and substantial voice:
"October 15, Year 30 of the Dawn Era, Eve Yggdrasil awakened..."
"She ascended to supremacy, subdued the Demon Gods, devoured the Abyss, and once more reached the origin and the end of everything..."
Writing here, he paused and slowly turned around.
Then, he showed a gentle and profound smile:
"Your Divine Crown, Eve..."
"You have finally arrived."
