Chapter 2: The Abyss Descends

In the sheer darkness, there was no sound. It's like a dark world that has been set up to be muted, and in the range that can't be detected by the eye, there seems to be some shocking secret hidden under the almost empty shadow, or nothing, just a simple silent and silent darkness. I couldn't even see the palms waving in front of me in the lightless world, everything seemed so unreal, as if even my own body had melted into darkness in this world of pure darkness!

...... Yes, I'm afraid it's really gone, otherwise why can't my hands touch my body and face at all! Confusion, helplessness, and panic instantly soaked my whole body!

If I still have a "whole body".

What the hell is going on!?

...... Fear of bewilderment hangs over this darkness. Like this dead shadow world, it is filled with nothingness, as if only the shadow is the only reality here.

When I, the only "living" person in the darkness, began to become as silent as this world, this unchanged world suddenly ushered in unexpected changes.

"How can I become a king......" The darkness suddenly became silent, and an abrupt voice seemed to pour into the darkness's only soul with a mind from all directions, and it seemed to appear in my mind out of thin air.

How long has it been since I heard a single sound and noticed a single change!?

"How can I become a good king?" repeated this sentence in an inexplicable voice.

That sounds like a strange word, huh...... It seems that the word "leadership" is more in line with my vocabulary. What does that mean?...... Well, that's right.

"How can I become a king who is praised by the world?"

Hey, how did this topic go further and further into that unspeakable realm? I wanted to complain, but I forgot how to make a sound, and suddenly I remembered that I had long since lost the organ that I could use to make a sound.

"How can I become a king who is recognized by the world?"

But this seems to be the only person in this world who can communicate with him, and it is not okay for him to continue to "talk to himself" like this. Who knows when the next time someone will "visit"!? For the only hope, we must find a way to communicate with him!

King...... As the so-called "suspicious people don't need to be used, use people without suspicion", the so-called king must at least have a basic understanding of employing people, right?

"Employing people...... Wisdom?"

Huh? Did he respond? Did he hear me think something?...... Maybe he hasn't been "asking" me with his voice, but communicating with me with "thinking" and "thinking"?

A good king doesn't have to do everything himself, he just needs the people under his command to be able to perform their duties and arrange their affairs. Different people will have different codes of conduct and values, and the premise of using the wisdom of people is also the wisdom of knowing people.

"...... know people?"

Some people sometimes don't need to know what the consequences of what they do, but a wise king should be able to predict the causes and consequences of important things that his subordinates do, what mistakes may occur, and when they can do the best thing...... Therefore, a mature king should be able to see what is going on.

"Clearing...... Wonderful?"

What should he do if he doesn't understand my words......? A wise king should have a foresight that is more mature than most. To put it simply, it is to understand the people around you, understand the things around you, and have the wisdom to see everything!

"Wisdom ...... insight into everything...... There is no such ...... of life."

It seems like an overstatement...... "That guy" on the other side won't understand, can't be logically confused and just crash, right!?

"The Path to Insight...... ...... can be achieved"

Huh? He seems to be so round again?

"Your name is Arthur Digrell Gezarez, the son of the abyss who came to the day of fate, crushed despair and continued to write the future!"

Hmm, why does he seem to be overheated and self-conscious like this!?

"The king of the coming day, the one who breaks fate. Now, guide those who are confused...... Now!"

The sudden and inexplicable majestic force pulled the "me" in the darkness to fall down in the void with an unstoppable momentum, and the irresistible feeling of weightlessness even made me forget to think for a while......

...... What's going on...... this!?

Constantly falling, it seems that you can escape from this world with only darkness immediately.

Breaking through the endless darkness, reddish light brushed my cheeks, broke through the clouds, lightning and thunder swept around me, like a meteor, and fell straight down towards the inexplicable wilderness!

The blood-colored liquid, the gushing black mist, the pulsating heart, all five senses seemed to return to my body at this moment...... At this moment, I suddenly understood - this is a new life!!

......

Standing up from the blood-colored liquid overflowing with magic, the soul from the Shadow World remembered the last words of the voice in the darkness.

"To guide the ...... of the confused souls"

Around the bonfire in front of him, several inexplicable creatures with special shapes but can also be called human forms were full of surprise. It seems that he can't accept his sudden appearance, and then he starts to say something inexplicable, like ...... It's like those religious neuropaths. Could it be that these guys are those so-called confused souls?

Following the tone of these guys, the newborn "King" learned the tone of the guy in the dark world, and for the first time in this strange world, he voiced his voice in flesh and blood, "I am Arthur Digrell Gezarez!"

Uh-huh!? Why can't you even close your mouths?

Looking at the black mist around him, the guy who called himself Arthur Digrell frowned impatiently.

Have you never seen a man with his own special effects? I'm really scared, okay!?How can a good king and a confused person be like this!?Look at the group of guys in front of you who almost don't have a human appearance!

Could it be that the so-called "king" refers to the one whose main job content is responsible for accepting the crusade of the "brave"!?

......

"Arthur Digreel, Gesares!?" Mora looked at his subordinates in disbelief, well, it was the front subordinates, in front of the children of the abyss, who represented the great will, even the snake demon was probably not much different from the succubus and the like.

"A" is a prefix for negation in the Abyssal language, and "Se" is an affix for degree. But what really shocked this group of demons was the word Dyrell - despair. Arthur Digrell, in the meaning of the abyssal language, can be interpreted as - do not despair, say goodbye to despair or something......

"My name is Hope!?" came a word from the mouth of the child of the abyss, who was unconscious, and that no exile had ever heard. There is no such thing as "hope" in Abyssal Language, so Arthur Digrell subconsciously pronounces it in a native language of unknown origin like the Abyssal language in his head.

The fall of the Conqueror has left many lessons for the demons who have experienced this disaster, one of which is to remember to show weakness in the face of absolute power. Needless to say, his reputation as a conquest brought him great prestige, but it was also the main reason why he was feared by the other Abyss Lords.

In the Demon Realm, the widely recognized title and name are believed to possess a certain amount of magical power, and the "Conqueror" means that the person with this name is more capable of fighting than most people. At first, this may only be a title, but as this name is accepted and recognized by more and more demonic beings, once Theramore's power breaks through a certain tipping point, the name "Conqueror" will be sung throughout his life and even after his death. By that time, "The Conqueror" would be Theramore, and "The Conqueror" would be his real name!

For forces that are hostile to or about to oppose Theramore, the name signifies great strength in head-on confrontation and an invisible deterrence that ordinary people cannot resist. It is precisely because of this that the hidden betrayers under the command of the Conquerors can use the power of other Abyss Lords to inflict a fatal blow on the Conqueror clans that have not really grown up in the back!

The name must not be too sassy, someone knows that the truth that pretends to be X was struck by lightning is universal, it is simply a powerful curse that is enough to break through the complex laws between the multiverses! Walking out of the door with the title of "Son of Hope" on his head makes people feel ashamed to think about it......

"A-n-d-r-i," said the son of the abyss, who had some awkward accents in his name, in a familiar and unfamiliar abyssal language, "An, De, Lie, just call André." ”

Our Arthur Digrell Gesares may be called Andre by now. Such a soul from another world felt that the titles "The End of Despair" and "The Crusher of Despair" were not only over-the-top for the second time, but in terms of attracting hatred, they were almost as loud as the titles of savior in mainstream stories, and were almost destined to be unpopular with the "big guys".

It's not like some traditional RPG, where the enemy starts from the weakest and the protagonist levels up and becomes stronger little by little, which is made for the sake of playability. The name is too eye-catching, maybe just walking on the street will be remembered by the existence of some final boss......

However, there are two sides to the story, just as some people may be jealous of their name as "Son of Hope", and there will also be people who are attracted by this name and choose to follow. This idea, which has no scientific basis in the eyes of Andre himself, is the "truth" unanimously recognized by most demons.

The extraordinary way of coming, the flesh shaping process that is different from the ordinary blood pool, the bearing that he was born with, and the rich magic power that emanates from his body all confirm the same truth - this strange demon who descended in front of the exiles is definitely a true son of the abyss with a powerful bloodline.

Exiles who tentatively set their goal of the Cursed Swamp are facing a dilemma in their lives, and the other directions may be full of traitors and abyssal lords' scarlets, and the path to the Cursed Swamp may have few pursuers because it is considered a forbidden place, but this path also means that their future is uncertain.

How can a forbidden place be a good place to go!?

And at this time of dilemma, the children of the abyss, who were born out of nowhere, brought them unexpected excitement. The Abyssal Will, like the Molten Heart, is the oldest mysterious existence in the Demon Realm, and it resembles an abstract totem that represents the laws of the entire world. The will of the world sent a child of the abyss, who called himself "The End of Despair", to the exiles at a time when they were facing unknown suffering, and the news alone was enough to revive the people who had thought that the road ahead was difficult and confused!

As long as there is no despair, one can always find a way out.

As soon as the newborn son of the abyss, Pu appeared and swept away the gloomy atmosphere in the team like a joke of fate, Andrei watched as more and more unclothed demons knelt around him, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

"The will of the abyss reigns, and we voluntarily submit to the noble son of the abyss, His Highness Andrea Gesarez......"

"The will of the abyss reigns, and we voluntarily submit to the noble son of the abyss, taking his will as our own. Forever follow His Highness André Gothales under the witness of the oath......"

Countless black air masses rose from the crowd, like raindrops surging under a hurricane, and they lightly surrounded the children of the abyss, who represented "hope", like whispering goblins, jumping happily around him, or like ghosts in madness, surrounding their owners were partying...... Then, as the muffled prayer ended, the black magic entered the body of the children of the abyss one by one!

Andre raised his right hand wrapped in black qi, and the black "elf" jumped and rolled between his arms and wrists, and the black aura that wrapped around his whole body became deeper and thicker. Such an inexplicable power seemed to bind him tightly to the group of strange creatures in front of him!

More and more things you don't understand?

The child of the abyss, whose soul came from another world, thought to himself.
