Chapter 106: Chapter 96: Falling into the Abyss

Waa——

In the next moment, the cry of a baby exploded in everyone’s ears, and a dense blood mist poured down from the horizon, all flooding into the umbilical cord-like scarlet lines.

Intense pollution from the Celestial Calamity crawled up to the land from the other end of the embryo like Endless Profound Abyss, washing over everyone’s will like sea waves!

The world seemed to double, with the abyssal entity at the other end of the umbilical cord peering into the present world, and in a daze, the warriors saw another scene.

"Please, Angel! Don’t take my child, please..."

Countless women were crying in utter despair, holding their babies tightly.

But those babies had no features.

Their faces were a chaotic mess of lines, overlapping into one distorted visage, the lines constantly squirming and reshaping, redrawing the face of a Knight.

Endless malice and knowledge poured into the warriors’ minds.

At this moment, Jay understood! He completely understood!

——The Abyssal Disaster took and twisted the concept of ’new birth’!

Thus, the Lionheart Knight was born again into this world filled with suffering.

The lines forming the blood-red umbilical cord continued to grow, gently supporting the Knight’s soul, as new flesh grew on the other end of the cord, eventually bearing fruit.

A baby cried as it was born, a child climbed up from the ground, and a youth stretched out a newly reborn body, finally, the perfectly-formed Knight Grant Arthur opened his eyes again.

The souls of the believers are forever immortal.

It smiled with open arms, the umbilical cord-like lines coiling upward like serpents, sketching a blood-red halo atop the handsome youth’s head.

Holy, pure, ethereal, flawless.

"Fall into the Abyss, fall into the Abyss... you are all warriors worthy of the Angel’s mercy..."

Grant smiled with pity.

The Angel was very interested in the souls of the rebels; this was Grant’s purpose from the beginning, whether through slaughter or purification, the form in which the soul was obtained did not matter.

He had only lost his physical body due to a moment of carelessness...

The sacred and ethereal voice drilled into the warriors’ ears, Jay collapsed to the ground in pain, clutching his head.

He felt his soul plummeting towards the Endless Profound Abyss.

At the same time, some existence began to patiently spy on everything about the warriors, enduring the torment of sunlight, and carefully examining Jay’s life.

Boring... average...

The gaze was slightly confused; it did not understand why these humble insects had grown to such a degree, even after receiving training, even with the blessing of the sun, their will should not be this resilient.

Why exactly...

Still unsatisfied, the gaze from the Abyss delved deeper into the warriors’ souls.

Until... it saw an ordinary gray-haired young boy standing on a podium, with a gentle expression and eyes seemingly hiding another indescribable realm.

No! That boy was merely an empty shell!

He raised his arm, loudly promising some indescribable mad ravings, and that extreme madness was deeply embedded in the warriors’ souls!

Suddenly, he sharply raised his head, meeting the gaze directly.

The Angel trembled.

In the next moment, it quickly withdrew its gaze, fleeing from the depths of the warriors’ souls, using all its strength, the panicked snake tail causing a tumultuous upheaval in the Abyss.

The falling soul began to rise rapidly.

Like a drowning man finally surfacing, sweet air rushed into his lungs again, Jay suddenly came to his senses, taking a deep breath.

Saved?

The young man once again gripped the Ash Soil Long Spear tightly, staring intently at the Lionheart Knight standing before him, who had undergone a strange transformation.

Woman... baby... umbilical cord...

Grant’s rebirth represented the despair of countless mothers.

Jay knew there had been no living people at the Western Border for a long time, but he never dared to think too deeply about the details, treating those lives as mere vanished numbers.

But when the appalling, bloody truth lay bare before him, Jay realized he had no choice but to confront this harrowing soul-searching.

Look, this is the Celestial Calamity, from the Abyssal Disaster of the Deep Sea.

The Lord was right, avoiding the problem would not solve it, there would always be corrupt worms falling to the Calamity, then harming innocent people!

The Sun Armor blazed with roaring flames, suppressing Jay’s chaotic and angry thoughts, and he fell silent, his gaze turning cold.

The warriors resolutely raised their weapons again!

"Interesting... to remain conscious under the gaze of a Supreme Angel..."

Grant spoke with a smile, at the same time, a trace of confusion flickered in the handsome Knight’s eyes.

The Supreme Angel had actually given up on the souls of these insects, and had not bestowed new orders upon him. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Perhaps these lowly souls were not worthy of being consumed by the Abyss.

Though he did not understand the specific reason, it no longer mattered, for the glorious massacre was about to begin!

"I admit you lowly insects do have some means."

Grant laughed wildly: "But next, I will make you understand what the true gap in power is!"

Under the wary eyes of the warriors, the back of the Lionheart Knight began to writhe and swell, countless flesh and blood stretched his spine, eventually shifting into a new shape.

It was a pair of wings made of countless infant arms, their surfaces embedded with countless squirming eyeballs!

In the next instant, the handsome Knight with the halo of flesh and blood above his head soared into the sky, laughing excitedly as he hovered above everyone’s heads.

His first move would be to tear apart the people these insects sought to protect, right in front of them!

"This is trouble..."

Seeing the evolved enemy, Jay’s expression turned incredibly grave, and he shouted, "Soldiers! Release the arrows!"

The militia on the hill, despite their fear, drew their bowstrings taut, and arrows shimmering with Ash Soil’s luster flew toward the sky, but such weak attacks had no effect at all.

Grant easily dodged those slow arrows, elevated himself again, and next, the civilian settlement appeared in the Knight’s eyes.

People had noticed the figure, Grant could even clearly see the despair and fear in the children’s eyes!

No matter how many times experienced, this feeling was always so intoxicating...

But at this moment, a strange buzzing sound reached the Lionheart Knight’s ears.

It turned sharply, noticing a bizarre floating silver block not far away, facing toward him, with a pair of strange transparent moth wings on its back.

What... is that thing?

Something’s wrong...

Instinctual intuition began frantically sounding the alarm, Grant’s hairs stood on end, as if something incomprehensible had locked onto him through that block!

Charging, aiming, firing, the roar and tremor of space tearing followed!!

The Lionheart Knight frantically flapped his wings, trying to evade something, feeling fear for the first time in his long life.

In the next instant, Grant’s vision was completely filled with light.
