Virus King - Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Agares’ Oath of Fealty! SS-Rank Devil Bloodline!

TL: YYang

Agares knelt respectfully on one knee before the Abyssal Well.

This posture had remained unchanged for more than an hour.

For he knew that his master, after completing the profession transfer, would soon arrive to share the joy of a successful plan with his most loyal servant.

Indeed, it appeared that the time had come.

Suddenly, ripples began to appear atop the Abyssal Well.

Shortly after, a small vortex formed at its center. Within that vortex, a figure slowly ascended, as if it were being lifted directly by the power of the well.

The figure was devoid of garments, its body entirely encased by black-red fungal carpets that looked like the most menacing and razor-sharp of dark armors.

The profound and dark power of the Abyssal Well enveloped this figure entirely, making it resemble a sovereign returning from the eternal night.

Agares trembled with excitement to the point of uncontrollable shivers. He gazed fervently at the figure before him and immediately prostrated himself, exclaiming:

“Great Master, it is my supreme honor as your humblest servant to be the first to witness your resurrection!”

“How did you manage to make even a true god submit to you?!” Staring at the kneeling Agares, Chen Bai voiced his astonishment internally.

A voice answered in his mind: “Respected Chen, strength is the eternal truth of this universe.”

Chen Bai’s lips curled into a smile. Glancing at the prostrate Agares, he spoke in fluent Abyssal Demon Language:

“Enough, Agares. We have plenty of time to celebrate later. Now, pledge your loyalty anew!”

He slowly extended his hand.

From the Hell King’s Ring, enshrouded in darkness, waves of black energy radiated outward.

Agares did not hesitate.

In the Abyss, no one could harm Chen Bai. Naturally, the ever-loyal Agares did not dare to doubt his master’s intentions.

Agares was well aware of the Hell King’s Ring’s significance.

In the next moment, a soul wreathed in pitch-black flames gently merged into the ring.

The Hell King’s Ring inherently held the authority to control the Seventy-Two Demon Gods.

However, with Satan’s death, the ring’s powers had gradually dissipated.

Now, with the descent of their greatest lord—the King of Hell, the current Abyssal Overlord—Agares, who had long awaited this day, offered his soul essence without the slightest reservation.

Chen Bai watched the flickering soul flame draw near without any external display of emotion.

He did not interfere with Satan’s remnant presence.

He refrained from erecting spiritual barriers or isolating the process in any way, ensuring that Satan observed everything.

However, Chen Bai was entirely certain that if Satan dared to utter a single word to alert Agares or performed even the slightest action that could betray his presence, the last fragment of the King of Hell’s life imprint would cease to exist in this world.

Chen Bai indeed coveted Satan’s legacy.

But if the cunning Devil King, infamous for his treachery, attempted any deceit now, Chen Bai, being decisive and ruthless, would personally acquire the treasures Satan left behind later.

To Chen Bai’s satisfaction, the soul flame merged into the Hell King’s Ring without Satan attempting any tricks or suspicious behavior.

The Hell King’s Authority pulsed as a black light enveloped the ring.

Chen Bai didn’t immediately check the changes in the Hell King’s Ring but instead nodded with satisfaction.

“All right, now, don’t resist!”

He intended to test another theory that had formed in his mind.

Standing atop the Abyssal Well on the 500th Layer of the Abyss, he released the power of the Abyssal Overlord’s Authority once more.

Mysterious patterns instantly spread across the surface of the Abyssal Well, yet a cold notification left Chen Bai slightly disappointed:

[Conquest of the 500th Layer of the Abyss failed. To conquer the 500th Layer, you must first conquer the 499th Layer…]

As expected, the Abyss could only be conquered layer by layer…

However, Chen Bai wasn’t discouraged. After all, this was something he had anticipated.

Agares, on the other hand, seemed somewhat puzzled by his master’s actions, unable to immediately grasp their significance.

Chen Bai withdrew his power and then said, “The items you prepared—bring them out.”

Agares was startled again.

Bring them out? Bring out what?!

At that moment, the voice within Chen Bai’s mind resurfaced, sounding a bit embarrassed:

“Respected Chen, Agares doesn’t need to prepare anything extra for my rebirth. Furthermore, given his abilities, he doesn’t have anything that would be of significant use to you…”

Chen Bai felt speechless. It seemed this wasn’t going to be as easy as he’d hoped.

Agares, meanwhile, cautiously and respectfully asked, “Great Master, did you previously leave something with me to prepare?”

Chen Bai maintained a calm expression, revealing nothing. Behind him, the Abyssal Well seemed to ripple gently in sync with his mood, its waves spreading outward in concentric circles.

“There were some complications with my plan. Beyond the authority and power of the Abyss, I lost a portion of my original strength. Now, Agares, the time has come for you to demonstrate your loyalty.”

Agares froze for a moment but soon nodded in understanding. The power of the Abyss wasn’t something easily seized, and for a human to invade this layer of the abyss was proof enough that this person was no ordinary figure.

Agares quickly searched his mind.

“Great Master, the items I have collected that might be of use to you are indeed very few. However, there is this one thing. Would it suffice…?”

Cautiously, Agares presented a peculiar vial.

What is this?

As Chen Bai looked closer, his eyes lit up instantly: [Bloodline Essence of a Hell Devil Archduke (SSS)].
