Virus King - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Edict of the Overlord! Grand Construction in the Abyss!

TL: YYang

The sound spread far and wide, echoing for miles!

Chen Bai, however, paid it no mind. Instead, he closed his eyes, feeling the expansion of his vision and the full authority over the entire 10th Layer of the Abyss. As expected, just as the Abyssal Will had hinted when he first transferred professions, the power of the Abyssal Overlord would grow with each conquered Layer of the Abyss.

Chen Bai hadn’t anticipated that reaching just the 10th layer would already enhance the power of the Abyssal Overlord, something he hadn’t expected. With a thought, he continued to feel the sensation from earlier, and in his interface, he saw the new ability of the Abyssal Overlord:

[Edict of the Overlord (Profession Skill): In all Abyssal layers you have conquered, you can unconditionally command demons, extending the power of authority. The effect is greatly reduced against true gods! Additionally, you can lead Abyssal creatures through the Abyssal Gate to any location, fully unleashing their power!]

This ability… Chen Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, falling into contemplation. It seemed useless at first glance, but in reality, it had great utility. Previously, he had no authority or power to command other demons in the Abyss. Although he was the Abyssal Overlord, demons were not the Abyss; they were individuals. Thus, their violent and bloody nature remained, but due to the Power of the Abyss, they couldn’t harm Chen Bai.

Now, in the Abyssal layers he had conquered, the demons born there were truly his ‘subjects.’ More importantly, this ability allowed him to lead conquered demons out of the Abyss to other places. Previously, demons couldn’t even leave the Abyss, let alone travel to other layers. Only those with the highest strength could move to the next layer through the mark of the Abyssal Well. However, moving upwards was difficult even for true gods, and their power was constrained by the Abyss, making it hard to leave.

The Abyss was like a dormant powder keg in the multiverse. It had the power to explode and shake the entire multiverse, but it couldn’t detonate, and naturally, no one, not even true gods, wanted to engage with it. But with this ability, the power of the Abyss could spread, igniting and pulling any invading worlds, civilizations, and intelligent races into the Abyssal Will, making them part of the Abyss!

Previously, the Abyss was a defensive shield. But once conquered by the Overlord, it became a spear thrust outward, a sharp spear that even the gods would retreat from!

Chen Bai’s vision brightened, filled with excitement. The authority of the Abyss was further completed, the power of the Abyss was further enhanced, and the abilities of the Abyssal Overlord were further awakened!

Looking at the countless demons kneeling respectfully around the Abyssal Well, embodying submission to the Power of the Abyss, Chen Bai’s Darklight Virus tendrils swiftly pierced through, with Aodu’s massive corpse becoming nourishment for Chen Bai. The only trace left was the giant battle axe, a decent piece of equipment. Chen Bai casually tossed it aside before addressing all the demons.

“In the name of the Overlord, from now on, the first ten layers of the Abyss shall be named the Abyssal Wilds! The rules of the first nine layers remain unchanged!”

“In the name of the Overlord! All demon tribes on the 10th layer shall cease their battles within the Abyss, excavate the mountains, and build civilization! Construct cities!”

Fortunately, while the concept of civilization left many bewildered, they understood what cities were. Some beings from the main worlds had the opportunity to summon demons into other main worlds, where cities existed. This command made many demons restless, but the Overlord’s command was the divine edict of the Abyss, something they could not refuse!

Chen Bai’s perspective instantly shifted to encompass the vast 10th Layer of the Abyss. He named the first ten layers the Abyssal Wilds because they were almost identical, vast plains with only small protrusions and hills. The 10th layer was no different, with the largest area being the vast plain surrounding the Abyssal Well. This was the best place to build a city!

Instantly, the highest authority was activated.

The Power of the Abyss manifested, marking out a massive square shape on the vast plain!

“In the name of the Overlord, excavate this area as a foundation and first construct the Wall of Demons! Those who perform exceptionally will receive special rewards from me!”

While Chen Bai often referred to demons as foolish, they were far from truly stupid. Their intelligence was on par with any intelligent race; they simply preferred not to think and leaned towards using brute force and bloodshed! However, no demon would refuse a reward!

Chen Bai sensed the eager emotions of these demons and directly took out a pulsating heart. Of course, this wasn’t a real heart! It was an SSS-Rank Demon Bloodline. High-level demon bloodlines could be used by humans, and naturally, demons, being demons themselves, could use them too!

“Roar!”

Upon sensing this item, nearly all the demons in the Abyss became excited, letting out howls. Chen Bai smiled slightly, feeling the demons’ collective enthusiasm! He began to ponder whether there might be an opportunity to send these demons to the main world, the God and Devil Trial Grounds. If nothing else, having them as guards and patrols for White Emperor City seemed quite appealing!

However, it would depend on the degree of their domestication. If they couldn’t be made to behave, any trouble they caused could lead to significant destruction.

He decided to wait and see, as there was no rush!

With this thought, Chen Bai exhaled slowly. Speaking of which, his old friend hadn’t made a move in a while. Now that the Abyss’s safe zone and the first city were finally about to be constructed, it was time to let this old friend choose the location for his first guild in the Abyss!
