Virus King - Chapter 199

Chapter 199: The Abyss Trembles! Blue Star Announcement! The First Profession Transfer!

TL: YYang

The Abyss, a realm that seemed eternally frozen in a singular scene of world and sky.

At this moment, two beams of light shot straight into the heavens!

An emerald green radiance, like a mist seeping outward, filled the air. Redor had long prepared for this, immediately donning an alchemical mask.

Within the boundless haze, an endless plague coalesced into a noxious fog that diffused outward. In this mist, countless minuscule creatures seemed to writhe and swarm, spiraling ceaselessly within.

The Scourge of the Living—fungi and viruses that corroded all things—was unleashed at the moment the scroll shattered. It seemed as if it had finally been granted an indescribable freedom!

They roared, they worshipped, they bore witness to their master, their king!

However, the emerald-green plague wave was almost instantly suppressed by another kind of light.

A pitch-black, dark-purple barrier enveloped the entire 1st Layer of the Abyss, obscuring all vision!

Above the Abyssal Well, a similar dark-purple wave surged upward, resonating with the power emanating from the shattered scroll.

In this instant, the countless, mindless demonic entities across the Abyss turned their gaze toward the Abyssal Well of their current plane, as well as the massive pillar of light that pierced through the stratified layers of the Abyss!

Within that pitch-black light column, it seemed as if the Abyssal King was being born. The power of the Abyss, the source of all authority, appeared to finally condense into reality.

The Abyss was the origin of all demons, their creator, their king.

And now, within this Abyssal Well, a presence slowly merged with it.

The undulating power compelled the lower demons to kneel involuntarily, bowing toward the faraway horizon in worship of their king.

Countless demons, at this moment, achieved a level of unity they had never before experienced.

This was an exceptionally rare occurrence.

Yet it was undeniably real!

…

The 100th Layer of the Abyss.

Gilbert, the Shadow Sword Demon Lord, stared in disbelief at the Abyssal Well in his demonic citadel. The waves of power surging forth caused even him, a Tier-3 Demon, to tremble uncontrollably. He stared in utter astonishment, unable to believe what he was witnessing.

Previously, within the consciousness of the Abyss, he had indeed been battling an insignificant challenger attempting to defy the Abyss.

And that challenger had been undeniably formidable. Even Gilbert’s abrupt assassination attempts had been dodged by the opponent, who retaliated with such eerie and peculiar methods that Gilbert’s body could not withstand them.

But he had never expected that the reckless challenger, whose life he thought insignificant, would manage to reach this point.

In the Abyss, every so often, challengers would appear, seeking to defy its dominion.

This human was not the strongest he had ever encountered. Despite the strange abilities, how had he managed to succeed?!

This question puzzled not only Gilbert, lord of the 100th Layer, but also nearly every Demon Lord preceding him.

…

The 279th Layer of the Abyss.

The renowned Beastlord Baphomet stared in disbelief at the dark pillar of light piercing through the void before him, momentarily frozen in place.

“That human… Hmph, even if he actually succeeded, I, the great Lord Baphomet, would never allow a mere mortal to dictate terms to me!”

“Did he really manage to pull it off?!”

…

The 350th Layer of the Abyss.

Winifred, the ever-meditative Hydra’s First Head, opened its eyes. Gazing at the energy emanating from the Abyssal Well, a look of astonishment appeared in its serpentine gaze.

“What the hell?! How is this even possible?! That garbage human kid? How did he get past Yeenoghu, subjugate Mekanshut, and defeat Agares?”

“Excellent! If this is true, I’ll finally have access to human books again!”

“That’s right, that human knows a lot of poetry. No wonder he’s so formidable!”

“Wait, what’s his name again?!”

“Chen Bai…”

…

The 437th Layer of the Abyss.

Mekanshut abruptly rose from her bed in her palace, startling the succubus servant wielding a whip at her queen.

Mekanshut, however, ignored her surroundings and the whip-induced sensations of pain and pleasure crisscrossing her body.

These sensations were the only way she could dull the searing effects of her power of desire, offering brief respite from its maddeningly addictive torment.

But now, the scene unfolding before her abruptly snapped her out of her trance. Her gaze turned toward the depths of her palace.

In an instant, her figure vanished, reappearing at the core of the 437th Layer of the Abyss, before the colossal Abyssal Well behind her palace.

A unique, indescribable fluctuation combined with a hazy, indistinct figure.

What this signified was something Mekanshut, born of the Abyss, knew all too well.

She understood with crystal clarity the mysteries and powers hidden within this surge of energy.

At this moment, the entire body of the succubus queen trembled as she felt the Abyss’ will subconsciously suppress her as one of its Abyssal deities.

“He really did it!? How is this possible? How could this be possible?”

She couldn’t help but murmur to herself. Even as the Abyss’ will instinctively pressed down on her, the tail swaying gently behind her betrayed an uncontrollable sense of inner joy.

…

The 500th Layer of the Abyss.

Compared to the other Abyssal Lords and even the true god-tier beings, Agares’ reaction was the most absolute.

He directly knelt in front of the Abyssal Well. Although his face was veiled by a blindfold, his expression twisted with excitement, trembling as he shouted passionately within his domain of eternal night:

“My great King, my most exalted Master, after so many years, You have finally returned in all Your glory. The Abyss shall now fully submit at Your feet in this era! You will lead us, and our counterparts in Hell, to become the rulers of all heavens and realms.

You shall become the King of All Gods, the God of the Gods! The endless Abyss will become Your one and only divine kingdom! And we, basking in Your radiance, shall achieve immortality!”

The entire Abyss quaked under this wave of energy. All demons, even those of godlike stature, were overwhelmed by an indescribable and profoundly complex mix of emotions at this moment.

Countless gazes, some even from other worlds, involuntarily turned toward the Abyss, attempting to discern the cause of this monumental shift.

…

At the same time, Chen Bai’s tightly shut eyes slowly opened.

Simultaneously, a notification from the cosmic will suddenly echoed in Chen Bai’s mind, as well as in the minds of all the Evolvers within the God and Devil Trial Grounds:
