Chapter 419 The New Divine Personality Arrives - Socially Anxious Witch in the Apocalypse

Su Miao sat atop a peak, watching as more and more demon lords and evil gods entered the Abyss, her expression tranquil. There was no choice; the place was teeming with powerful demon lords and evil gods. If she could eliminate them all in one sweep, there would be no issue, but that wasn't possible. Failing that, she might fall victim to a sneak attack by some powerful entities lurking in shadows, making the situation very perilous. Thus far, Su Miao had identified at least thirty formidable demon gods from the void. Unlike the ostentatious Xuanying Demon God, these figures stayed hidden, avoiding the spotlight. Nevertheless, many made dominant entrances. They reveled in drawing the attention of all demon lords and evil gods. Eavesdropping on a few gossip-loving evil gods and demon lords, Su Miao gathered information on these powerful beings. "See that one, drawn by nine winged giant lizards? That's the Tianlan Demon God. He once controlled several star fields and was revered as a creator god by many worlds of life. He even joined the Forbidden Abyssal Sea," the two-headed demon king said, "Who would have thought those lizards pulling the carriage are stronger than us? This Abyss truly holds treasures." "That's nonsense, what creator god? He hasn't even ascended to a Chief God." The evil god cloaked in gray mist remarked, "Look at that one, the Beikun Demon God from the Forbidden Abyssal Sea, rumored to have origins extremely ancient, once following a Supreme God." The two-headed demon king inquired, "Also from the Forbidden Abyssal Sea?" The mist-shrouded evil god affirmed, "Mm, this Beikun Demon God ascended to Chief God status ten thousand years ago." Gasp! The two-headed demon king inhaled sharply. A Chief God arriving this discreetly, Beikun Demon God's ambitions must be substantial. Quickly, he noticed a new issue: "My lord, why do you know so much about the demon gods of the Forbidden Abyssal Sea?" The evil god in the gray mist chuckled, "Heh heh heh, do you really want to know?" The two-headed demon king hastily shook his heads, "No need, my lord, better tell me about the powerful figures here this time." The evil god in the gray mist continued, "That one over there, bringing an island with him, is the not quite man nor beast, Yitian Demon God." "Before he became a Chief God, he was hunted by three Chief Gods and successfully escaped. Six thousand years later, Yitian Demon God counter-killed a Chief God." The two-headed demon king was astonished, "That formidable? Are you saying Yitian Demon God is also a Chief God?" Suddenly realizing something, his body began to tremble. "My lord, I'm merely a minor demon king, discussing a Chief God like this, how long can I survive?" "Relax, relax, no one dares act." The evil god in the mist smiled coldly, "Heh heh heh, unless they wish to die. Look over there, the one on the skeletal dog-headed mount is the Yinhun Demon God. A hundred years ago, his rampant actions in all zones of the Inner World must be familiar to you." The two-headed demon king dared not look. To rampage through all zones of the Inner World, and now brazenly appear outside the Abyss—unafraid of those evil gods and demon lords he's previously offended. Perhaps he too is a true Chief God. How many Chief Gods have come to this Abyss? Could it be that the Abyss is a relic of a Chief God? No, a mere Chief God relic couldn't draw so many terrifying beings. The gray mist-shrouded evil god continued, "Over there, tut tut, seems like a Supreme God, but his original universe is gone, otherwise he wouldn't be in such dire straits. Sacrificing the universe that nurtured him to advance further, yet fallen to this state, whoever kills him here can reap unimaginable benefits." The two-headed demon king no longer dared to respond. A Supreme God? Can he even hear such things? And who exactly is this big shot hidden in the mist? How does he know so much about these powerful entities arriving? Knowing so much, he feels he can't leave here alive. The evil god in the gray mist added, "Over there, see the floating shrimp head? That's the Curse Shrimp Head from the Sea of Death. Barely qualifies as a Chief God, not very strong, but don't be fooled. It's incredibly hard to kill." "Everyone cursed by it becomes its follower, like the insect race solely focused on reproduction, truly disgusting." "…" The two-headed demon king felt a headache. Earlier when that shrimp head flew over, he was curious and wondered if it was edible. Unbeknownst to him, it turned out to be such a frightening creature. Had the Curse Shrimp Head read his thoughts, he wouldn't know how he died. Or perhaps the Curse Shrimp Head already knows but isn't willing to act. The figure in the mist said no one would dare act. Why wouldn't they dare? The two-headed demon king's attention shifted to the nearby peak. Atop the peak sat none other than the demonic lady who recently slew the Xuanying Demon God… Realizing this, the two-headed demon king felt both lucky and terrified. The evil god in the mist mentioned, "Over there, disguised as an old human man, is actually a grotesque Chief God. If he were to unleash pollution here, can you imagine the outcome?" "I've introduced so many, yet you've not looked at a single one. Do you not believe me?" The two-headed demon king trembled even more. The evil god in the gray mist pressed, "Don't forget, you asked me for introductions, and I've provided them. You dare ignore them, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" The two-headed demon king was on the verge of tears, "I'll look, I'll look, my lord." The evil god in the gray mist said, "Very well, I'll continue introducing the powerful beings drawn to the Abyss." Suddenly, the two-headed demon king thought of something and asked, "My lord, do you know what's inside the Abyss?" The evil god in the mist replied, "Heh heh heh, do you want to know? I'm not telling, it won't be fun if I do." The two-headed demon king felt even more fear. His intuition told him the Abyss's depths were more treacherous than he imagined. ... On the peak, Su Miao listened clearly to the dialogue between the evil god and the demon king. Her gaze swept across the void, confirming the powerful entities introduced by the mist-shrouded evil god. Each carried a palpable yet well-concealed malice. Perceiving the malice from these powerful beings, Su Miao was deeply afraid. She wished she could eliminate them all... Killing them would earn her their divine cores and demon lord essences, potentially perfecting her domain. However, some were indeed formidable, and Su Miao had no confidence in swiftly defeating them. If only they were as easy as the evil gods and demon gods she had dealt with before. Retracting her gaze, she looked into the depths of the Abyss. It seemed there were changes again. Hmm? An intangible fluctuation of laws spread within the Abyss; numerous chaotic meteors began flying in predefined arcs, assembling in a spectacular manner. After an indeterminable amount of time, chaos gave way to order, and the Abyss, which had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, transformed into a vast city. Temples filled the city, each emitting an overwhelmingly terrifying aura. This aura signified treasure within. Simultaneously, above the Abyss, thunder roared, and amidst apocalyptic storm clouds, three large islands slowly emerged. The islands exuded a denser essence of laws, intolerable to any below a Chief God to gaze directly upon. In an instant, the peripheral evil gods and demon lords found their attention drawn to the three islands. "The Abyss is truly such a sight." "These laws, so powerful, was this once the divine realm of a Supreme God?" "No, not a Supreme God, but one who had touched its threshold." "Small wonder so many Chief Gods have come." "What treasures might lie within?" "If I could comprehend the laws within the Abyss, tut tut..." "The three islands are for Chief Gods to contend over; we can't reach them, but venturing into the divine city below promises rich rewards." "..." Impatient devil lords and evil gods rushed towards the divine city, while a few confident in their strength aimed for the sky islands. Su Miao sat atop the peak, showing no immediate intention of joining. There were too many demon lords and evil gods. She was fearful. One wrong move, and destroying their cores or divine essences would be a great loss. Yet, she noticed one thing: The demon lords and evil gods who entered before the Abyss restructured seemed altogether vanished, not a trace left, not even a remnant soul. It was peculiar. Did those rushing in notice this anomaly? Suddenly, a scream rang out. It was from a demon god heading towards one of the three sky islands. This demon god, winged and fearsome, neither a sea creature nor a land animal—unique in appearance. Near the level of a Chief God, he wielded control over wind and thunder, immensely powerful. But as he neared one of the islands, a vortex of thunder assembled in the void, crashing down upon him. The demon god endured but a second before being obliterated on the spot. As the charred corpse fell, it disintegrated into ash. Theoretically, the demise of such a powerful demon god should herald a rain of blood from the sky. Yet, after waiting for more than ten seconds, not a single drop of blood fell. Feigning death? But it didn't appear staged at all. A faint golden light glimmered in Su Miao’s eyes as she gazed at the Abyss again, noticing a difference. In essence, the Abyss was still chaotic, meteors flying haphazardly, and hadn't reverted to the grand form of divine cities and large islands. What she had seen earlier was an illusion—albeit a real one. This was truly terrifying. So many evil gods and demon lords, yet none of them could perceive it, and they were even rushing inside. No wonder the first batch of evil gods and demon lords who entered the Abyss vanished—they essentially weren't in the same dimension. **[The laws of the Abyss have some reference value.]** Su Miao stared at the Abyss, beginning her study. ... "Clear the way!" The long-winged giant lizard pulling the carriage shouted, "The Tianlan Demon God is about to enter the Abyss!" The banner of the Forbidden Abyssal Sea fluttered in the wind, and upon seeing it, demon lords and evil gods alike made way. A terrifying demon god from the forbidden zone was not to be trifled with. At the same time, they wanted to see if this demon god from the Forbidden Abyssal Sea could successfully reach the island. Nine-headed giant lizards pulled the Tianlan Demon God towards the tallest of the islands. Halfway there, the demon kings and monsters trailing behind the carriage from the Forbidden Abyssal Sea erupted, perishing instantly. As they ventured further, a void thunderstorm descended, and the nine-headed lizards spread their wings, releasing divine energy to jointly withstand the assault—it felt effortless. "Master Tianlan, rest assured, this thunder is no match for us dragons," the leader of the lizards proclaimed. The Tianlan Demon God nodded, indicating he would continue to watch their performance. But when a vortex of void lightning descended, the nine-headed lizards were visibly stricken with fear. The second wave of lightning was on a completely different level compared to the first. "Master Tianlan, save us..." One of the lizards begged. Sensing the dire situation, the Tianlan Demon God had no plans to maintain his composure. He summoned a lightning-averting magical artifact, attempting to ward off the destructive vortex lightning. Boom! The artifact exploded, some of the lizards turned to ash, while others fell charred and half-cooked. As for the Tianlan Demon God, he barely survived thanks to the artifact and his formidable strength. However, the Tianlan Demon God seemed marked, as a third vortex lightning pursued him relentlessly. Shocked, the Tianlan Demon God was bewildered by the Abyss's relentless and merciless nature. Once again, he used a magical artifact to fend off the vortex lightning and escaped the Abyss domain. But the cost was severe—a grievously injured Tianlan Demon God. Like a smoking plane, the powerful demon god plummeted toward the peak where Su Miao resided. "My lord, save me, the Forbidden Abyssal Sea will reward handsomely." Realizing the person on the peak was the demoness, the desperate Tianlan Demon God called out. In the Inner World, everyone gave the Forbidden Abyssal Sea some deference. To not give it would erase one's existence. Surely, the demoness would recognize this. Gratitude from the Forbidden Abyssal Sea, or its wrath—an obvious choice. Countless gazes turned to the demoness Su Miao; she disliked being observed by so many powerful beings and felt fearful. Sensing the malice, Su Miao instinctively raised her hand and pointed at the Tianlan Demon God. Instantly, the Tianlan Demon God vanished. The demoness Su Miao on the peak also disappeared. "What happened?" "Was the Tianlan Demon God saved?" "I didn't see clearly, was he pulled into a different space?" "Does anyone know which layer he went to?" "Is there a chance the Tianlan Demon God might have fallen?" "Gasp, the Forbidden Abyssal Sea is the Inner World's forbidden zone, do you know how terrifying it is inside? Who dares…" "…" Suddenly, an eerie silence prevailed. They witnessed Su Miao return to the peak, but the Tianlan Demon God was absent. It was unclear if he was saved or met another fate. Amidst their confusion, a torrential blood rain fell from the sky, creating a spectacular scene. The Tianlan Demon God of the Forbidden Abyssal Sea had fallen. Slain by the demoness. For a moment, even more eyes turned toward Su Miao. She grew more anxious. In her panic, she had drawn the Tianlan Demon God into her domain, and a twitch of her hand led to the Zhu Shen Silver Sword extracting his divine essence, eradicating his soul and body entirely. She had hoped the blood rain would lessen the attention of the demon lords and evil gods upon her. Unexpectedly, though, killing the Tianlan Demon God had attracted even more, especially those at the level of Chief Gods. How did it turn out this way? "Your demonic highness, you've brought a great calamity upon yourself by slaying a demon god from the Forbidden Abyssal Sea." The great demon king Kento found some courage and sent a message to Su Miao: "The Forbidden Abyssal Sea is an ancient forbidden zone within the Inner World, existing for over three million years. It's home to extremely terrifying and indescribable entities. Once they know of your deed, they will surely go to great lengths against you." Su Miao gave Kento a glance but remained silent. The notion of a forbidden zone within the Inner World sounded daunting. However, with a new divine essence in hand, she could continue her research. (End of chapter)
