Chapter 421

Even after Helena's declaration, the Abyss Lord tried to summon more prisoners.

Because massive energies tangled with each other and filled the surroundings, the summoning itself wasn't difficult.

However, at that moment when both heavenly energy and abyss energy were full.

Helena snapped her fingers at that moment.

Then, the energy of the profound abyss, never seen before, was revealed.

As the profound abyss, deeper than the abyss and darker than the abyss, was revealed, the Abyss Lord's pupils shook violently.

"……Th-This is."

As the mouth of the Abyss Lord, who hadn't spoken a single word until now, opened.

Helena smiled gently.

As the energy of the profound abyss appeared, it became the profound abyss itself and swallowed up all those surrounding energies.

As it swallowed not only the heavenly energy and the abyss energy but also all the natural energies that were originally here.

There was no longer a single trace of energy left here, and Helena looked at the Abyss Lord.

Feeling the energy of the profound abyss, the Abyss Lord asked Helena with trembling pupils.

"S-Surely not."

"Yeah, that 'surely not' is right."

As all the energies merged into one, Helena smiled gently and handled the energy of the profound abyss.

The profound abyss, which had merged the heavenly energy, the abyss energy, and even the natural energy into one, digested them as they were and grew its size even further.

Seeing what could be called the foundation of black magic that handled all profound abysses, the Abyss Lord trembled.

The profound abyss is another dimension that is neither hell nor the demon realm.

However, as it is called the foundation of all black magic, the demons of the demon realm and the devils of hell all grow up looking at the profound abyss.

A dimension even higher than hell and the demon realm is precisely the profound abyss.

At the sight of Helena handling that profound abyss, the Abyss Lord swallowed hard, recalling the Helena of the past.

This is something that cannot be.

How could Helena, no, that woman presumed to be Helena's clone, handle the profound abyss?

Heavenly energy also made no sense, but since it was the heavenly energy Helena had brought from the Heavenly Realm in the past, he could just accept it and move on.

However, it is impossible to handle the profound abyss while possessing heavenly energy.

If heavenly energy could be called the source of divinity believed in by the Heavenly Realm and Heaven, the profound abyss was the origin of black magic believed in by the demon realm and hell.

However, one cannot possess both at the same time.

Just as burning ice cannot exist.

"Th-This is impossible."

However, it had already happened, and Helena was handling both of them.

The Monarch of Heaven, and the Monarch of the Profound Abyss.

Helena, who had become a Monarch ruling over the two things that formed the foundation of everything.

And the Abyss Lord could realize.

There is only one reason why all of this is possible.

"A-Are you truly Mother."

It is only possible when she, whom he feared to no end, is her true self and not a mere clone.

Even if the status Helena possessed right now was weaker than that time in the past, it was certain if she contained the energies of those two.

It meant that her soul was Helena.

As the Abyss Lord said so.

Helena answered as if humming.

"That's why I told you, it's me."

At those words from Helena, the Abyss Lord trembled, feeling a chill as if the blood was draining from his entire body.

He had ended up realizing what he had done.

However, it was already far too late.

Helena looked at such an Abyss Lord with a smile, but her eyes were cold.

The expression she always made when she was angry.

The Abyss Lord Murakan could realize watching that gaze.

It's real.

There is no way she could have that gaze unless she was the real one.

The gaze he had seen for the last time before being sealed by Helena.

Because of that, the Abyss Lord quickly racked his brain.

'There is no way I can win.'

Her status is lowered, and she isn't her true body?

So what.

That is not a mere clone containing only memories, but the soul of her very self possessing all her memories.

He had to escape from here.

He tried to escape from this place, somehow revealing his energy, but.

Helena looked at such an Abyss Lord and said.

"You aren't holding onto the hope that you can escape, are you?"

"……."

As he looked at Helena, feeling as if all the strength was draining from his entire body.

Helena split the profound abyss, which had swallowed all energies and made them her own, in half.

And the Abyss Lord could do nothing but watch it helplessly.

The profound abyss and heaven mixed, and white and black began to blend.

While swirling and mixing with each other much like a Taegeuk, Helena smiled gently and said.

"Esoteric Art 『Chaos』"

With those words, the unmixable heaven and profound abyss merged into one and exploded.

Being light yet darkness, and darkness yet shadow, that profound and mysterious something that was neither light nor darkness, something from before the birth of the world, burst forth and swept everything away.

In that chaos where neither sky nor earth could be distinguished, only Helena floated perfectly intact, looking at the Abyss Lord whose limbs and entire body were separated and drifting in the empty air.

Her child of the past whose body was dismantled, unable to overcome the chaos.

However, Helena's eyes remained completely cold.

The child she had thought of as her own and cared for with all her heart, but who ultimately brought her disappointment.

Because he was a child who threw people into the abyss to fill only his own selfish desires.

She could not forgive him even more.

Helena lifted the head of the severed Abyss Lord, who couldn't even leave a final word.

And then.

With the power of the profound abyss, she condensed all the energy left by the Abyss Lord into his head.

If retrieved like this, all the power of the Abyss Lord could be inherited.

However.

"This is a present to give to Seonghyun."

Helena said so, and in the very next room.

She observed the Destruction Lord fighting with the backup team.

He, too, was no different from Helena's child of the past.

The child born with the authority of destruction, who slaughtered innocent people. She took him in and taught him how to suppress his instincts, but he ultimately went astray, was hanged, and was sealed by her.

Varian.

He was truly a pitiful and unfortunate child, but.

Because he was a child who ultimately fell into corruption by his own hands later on.

She had no intention of forgiving him, just like Murakan.

Above all, since she had met Seonghyun now.

'It is time to settle the past.'

In the past, Helena possessed the power and status to do as she pleased, but.

Since that wasn't the case anymore.

Even for Seonghyun's sake, there was a need to settle the past.

While observing closely like that.

Because the Destruction Lord used a dirty trick, Helena appeared and ended up helping.

"Keuheok!"

As his final neck was severed and rolled on the floor.

Helena smiled gently and, just like with the Abyss Lord, contained and sealed the power of destruction in his head.

Likewise, if one obtained this, they would be able to become the Destruction Lord.

Anyway, after solving the problem like this, Helena tried to slip away secretly.

But at that moment.

-Real lmfaooooooooo

-Barely won lmfaooooo

-To think they won this lmfaoooo

-Truly amazing.

-ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷHow did they win this?

While the viewers were all marveling, asking how they really won.

Michael shouted toward the many viewers.

"Ahhh! Reinforcements have arrived!!! Demon King-nim's vassal arrived, so we were barely able to win!!!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Michael's words, she looked at Michael as if finding it quite amusing.

And as Helena, sensing gazes from another world, watched for a moment.

Michael spoke without stopping.

"Ah, then with the Destruction Lord fallen! Shall we check the contribution now? The end was too fast, so we don't know who defeated him yet!!!"

At Michael's words, the viewers' chats flooded in.

-No but did the Demon King's vassal catch the Abyss Lord alone??????

-Does this make sense????????

-No, shouldn't they interview her about catching the Abyss Lord before the Destruction Lord?

-Real, no how did a vassal catch him alone?????????

-Real, how did she do it??????

-No, one of the Demon King's vassals is stronger than the entire backup team??????

-Does it make sense????

-Is this balance for the Demon King right?

-What is this, real????

-???????????

Everyone had no choice but to be bewildered like that.

At first, they rejoiced at the victory, but thinking about it, they couldn't help but wonder how Helena could win alone.

Because of that, everyone was curious.

Michael was about to announce the contribution, but suddenly thinking that would be good too, he carefully turned his head.

However.

"……Sseueup, how should I ask?"

Looking at the camera again with a quite frightened expression, he asked back.

Helena, who caught the Abyss Lord alone.

Naturally, it couldn't be helped that she was a bit scary.

Even though her appearance was far too beautiful and alluring.

The atmosphere she exuded was simply too scary, wasn't it.

It felt exactly like facing the Abyss Lord, Destruction Lord, and Despair Lord for the first time.

Since she was indeed a Monarch.

Well, it wasn't a wrong sensation.

-lmfaooooooooooooooo

-lmfaooooo Scared?

-lmfao She is freaking scary though lmfao

-A vassal who caught a Monarch boss alone? This is just too scary.

-lmfao Real, how do you ask her.

-Won't he get hit if he asks?

-School days memories ON!

-Hael-ham looks like he'd be on the perpetrator side rather than the victim side though……

As such stories were going back and forth.

Michael stealthily made eye contact with Helena.

Then, thinking it wouldn't be bad since it was something Seonghyun was doing anyway, Helena smiled gently, looked at Michael, and asked.

"Do you have something you want to ask?"

As she kindly said so.

Michael spoke with an expression as if he had hit the jackpot.

"Oh! Of course! You are the Demon King's, no, Seonghyun-nim's vassal, right?"

"Yeah, I'm Helena."

"Ooh, even your name is beautiful!!!"

"Ahaha! You're a kid who knows a thing or two, aren't you?"

"Heoheoheo! Thank you for the compliment!"

As the two conversed like that, the viewers couldn't help but laugh naturally.

To think it would actually turn into an interview.

However.

-???? But does a vassal have that level of intelligence?

-There are some who do, but ones with high intelligence like an NPC like that are rare, right?

-That's amazing;;;

-Tell me about it.

-Quickly ask her how she caught him!!!

As it became an interview, everyone spoke in excitement.

Michael also began the interview.
