Virus King - Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Abyssal Overlord Scroll! Farewell, Redo!

TL: YYang

On the pitch-black scroll, streaks of dark purple patterns were engraved upon its surface. Amidst the boundless darkness, it seemed as if this scroll, in this very moment, was the very center of the abyssal void.

It radiated a power that pierced straight into the soul.

Even at this moment, Chen Bai felt as if he were still in a dream.

The Abyssal Overlord’s trial was said to be one that even the gods could not complete, a trial that no one had ever passed. Naturally, this meant no one had ever truly come into contact with or gained access to the Abyssal Overlord profession. Everything about it reminded Chen Bai of just how precious the scroll in his hand was.

Initially, he had thought that when faced with Satan’s schemes and machinations, he would inevitably have to return to the past to start over. But the outcome far exceeded his expectations.

The scroll had appeared in his hands, so real, so tangible, and it now wholly belonged to him!

Chen Bai took a deep breath, finally setting his gaze upon the scroll he now held in his hand:

[‘Abyssal Overlord’ Profession Transfer Scroll (SSS)]

[The abyss is the end of all things. All profundity and despair originate here! Even the will of the universe cannot penetrate this place. Even the gods dare not tread its depths.

Here lies madness, havoc, ferocity, and bloodlust! The power of the Abyss is the dark side of the entire universe! It is the ladder to supremacy! It is the darkness that devours all! To wield this power is to wield everything!]

[Profession Transfer Requirements: Level 10 and successful completion of the ‘Abyssal Trial’!]

Just as he expected!

Chen Bai’s eyes burned with fervor.

His gaze sank as he turned to his secret vault. On the other side of the vault, at this very moment, lay another dark green scroll.

Dense mist was emanating around it, enshrouding it completely.

Chen Bai slowly reached out his hand and picked up the “Scourge of the Living” scroll once more. A faint smile crept across his lips.

“Honorable Chen, what is this item?! Why is there yet another profession transfer scroll?! This power… it bears some resemblance to Beelzebub’s!”

“However… Honorable Chen, there is no profession that can initially compare to the Abyssal Overlord…”

Hearing Satan’s voice, Chen Bai immediately activated his mental energy, directly cutting off the connection to the Hell King’s Ring.

Satan still had his uses. The treasures of hell—artifacts like the Hell King’s Ring—likely included many more yet to be uncovered!

Thus, keeping this ill-intentioned King of Hell around was essential.

But Chen Bai had no intention of letting this bastard dictate his actions, much less pry into his secrets.

Once he severed Satan’s perception, Chen Bai placed both profession transfer scrolls into his inventory.

Then, endless darkness slowly enveloped him. In the next moment, his body began to ascend.

At last, the darkness shrouding his figure seemed to gradually dissipate.

The world, at that moment, became clearer.

A blood-red sky, the Abyssal Well atop the hill, and the endless expanse of land that stretched beyond reappeared in Chen Bai’s field of vision. It was no illusion; it was no simulation created within the Abyssal Trial.

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Bai could see everything, including the newly spawned lesser demons that had just emerged from their demon eggs.

He wondered if this batch of demons might produce a future Demon Lord.

Chen Bai didn’t care. As he surveyed the Abyss, he found himself momentarily hesitating.

At that moment, another object appeared in Chen Bai’s hand.

It was also a scroll.

None other than the scroll he had once used to summon Redo!

The Abyss had some level of resistance against the will of the universe, preventing it from fully infiltrating.

If that was the case, what would happen if he tried summoning a god here on the 1st Layer of the Abyss? Would Redo even be able to enter?!

However, since it was only a projection and only the 1st Layer of the Abyss, there likely wouldn’t be any major issues, right?

With this thought, Chen Bai moved swiftly, heading toward a mountain ridge where the traces of demons were relatively sparse.

The 1st Layer of the Abyss didn’t impose too many restrictions. Though the true gods of the myriad worlds in the universe were wary of the Abyss and reluctant to step inside, it wasn’t to the extent that they were utterly unable to enter.

For now, Chen Bai truly didn’t feel like leaving the Abyss just yet.

Chen Bai’s surging emotions caused his tightly clenched fist to tremble ever so slightly at this very moment!

The profession transfer was right in front of him!

Moreover, it wasn’t just any ordinary profession transfer—it was a dual-profession transfer, utilizing not one but two profession transfer scrolls, both of which granted access to unprecedented SSS-level professions!

Such a result could only be described as dreamlike!

Thinking back on his journey through the Abyss, he himself had lost count of how many times he had attempted the challenges, how many times he had died and been reborn, how many times he had climbed from the very 1st Layer of the Abyss, treading carefully and tirelessly.

Facing those Abyss Lords stationed on each layer, he had pushed himself to his limits to defeat them…

Of course, the most critical factor had always been that mysterious Time Hourglass.

Even when he faced Satan’s schemes in the end, his greatest reliance still remained on this artifact.

Chen Bai firmly believed that one day he would fully unlock and uncover the complete power of the Time Hourglass!

For now, however, the most important matter was his own power. The critical step of enhancing his strength was finally about to be achieved.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Bai extended his hand. The special quest scroll in his grasp suddenly activated, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered completely.

A faint, ominous light slowly spread across the mountaintop of the Abyss.

Chen Bai felt something strange—at the very moment the scroll disintegrated, it was as if a gaze, distant yet piercing, had locked onto him from the void. This gaze bore down on him, binding him in an instant.

This sensation had never occurred before, not even back on Blue Star.

After countless intense battles, Chen Bai had developed an acute sensitivity to his subconscious, and this time it was clear—this was the gaze of a god!

The light gradually coalesced.

Moments later, a familiar sight unfolded before him once again. A gate of light slowly opened.

A figure emerged from within.

However, compared to the last time Chen Bai had seen him in Jiangcheng, Redo appeared far more cautious now. He glanced around warily before leaping out of the light gate. Only after spotting Chen Bai, whose face carried a faint smile, did Redo’s expression relax somewhat, though his tone still carried a trace of irritation as he spoke:

“My dear friend, why on earth would you choose to meet in this wretched place! Even in Hell, our merchant guild has branches, but in the Abyss? These damned, savage demons don’t even understand the concept of trade!”
