Chapter 386: Farewell, Winifred! Grilled Dragon Meat!

TL: YYang

30th Layer of the Abyss!

Indeed, in this conquest of the Abyssal Plane, Chen Bai leaped directly from the 24th Layer to conquer the 30th Layer!

Not to mention, his base attributes alone increased by nearly 200 points once again.

The growth potential of the Abyssal Overlord was evident.

However, this power and ability were blocked by the creature standing before him.

Chen Bai’s breathing grew heavy.

The Abyssal Lord of the 30th Layer was another unique entity.

It was one of the rare Abyssal Serpent Demons within the first 100 layers.

Although it wasn’t a Six-Armed Serpent Demon, a royal of the Serpent Demon clan, its strength was still formidable.

The Serpent Demon clan was considered one of the higher races of the Abyss, and their royal Six-Armed Serpent Demons were not far behind the Pureblood Demon clan in terms of power.

Thus, the strength of the Serpent Demon clan often meant they resided mostly within the first 100 layers of the Abyss. Of course, some could be found below the 100th layer as well, particularly those serving as Abyssal Lords of specific layers.

And the 30th Layer of the Abyss was undoubtedly such a place!

The Serpent Demon before him was a level 49 warrior, its four arms and writhing serpentine body covered in scars.

Its purple blood stained the muddy jungle, further intensifying the bloody atmosphere.

“Overlord, your strength has earned Lord Kuchar’s recognition! I am willing to pledge my loyalty!”

In Abyssal Demon Language, these words were uttered by the Serpent Demon after a grueling two-hour battle.

Chen Bai had even used the Time Reversal ability of the Time Hourglass twice, and his Demon Transformation had remained active the entire time. Only after such efforts did the Serpent Demon finally submit.

The power of the Abyss slowly returned to Chen Bai, enveloping the entire 30th Layer of the Abyss through the unresisting aura of the Serpent Demon named Kuchar.

[The great Overlord has conquered the 30th Layer of the Abyss, gaining supreme control of this plane and a 30-point increase to all attributes!]

At this moment, Chen Bai finally claimed complete mastery over the first 30 layers of the Abyss. They now belonged entirely to him.

According to the Abyssal reform structure, every ten layers formed a checkpoint. On the 10th, 20th, and 30th layers, fortresses and cities unique to demons would be built, forming the organizational framework of the Abyss.

Chen Bai had chosen to subdue Kuchar rather than kill him for this reason.

From the 20th to the 30th Layer, Chen Bai had already eliminated every other Abyssal Lord, including the Demon-Hunting Spider.

If he killed Kuchar as well, who would oversee the construction and development of a new demon city in his absence?

The Edict of the Overlord spread across the entire 30th Layer of the Abyss. Every demon present on this layer was compelled to obey the command!

Such was the Authority of the Abyss!

After handling all matters here, Chen Bai made his way to the Abyssal Well.

His next destination was the 196th Layer of the Abyss, where he intended to meet the Abyssal Dragon.

But before that, he had one more task to complete.

The Abyss carried Chen Bai’s body downward. Soon, he arrived at a unique realm within the Abyss.

350th Layer of the Abyss.

This was the domain of the World Devourer, Winifred.

Winifred also happened to be the only True God Chen Bai was truly close to—perhaps even the only one.

Unlike other relationships based on interest or desire, Chen Bai and the giant Nine-Headed Hydra, Winifred, shared a genuine friendship.

This connection was largely due to Winifred’s unique structure.

“Oh! Great Overlord, welcome to Winifred’s world. What would you like to eat?!”

The vast 350th Layer of the Abyss belonged entirely to Winifred, and Chen Bai had appeared on a massive volcano within it.

At the volcano’s summit, an enormous metal rod of unknown material pierced straight through something.

Most horrifyingly, the rod impaled a massive corpse.

It was the corpse of a dragon, skewered over the volcano like a colossal kebab. The seventh head of Winifred occasionally exhaled a breath onto the “grill,” drooling as it stared at the delicacy before it.

Chen Bai pressed his lips together.

Damn it. He had just been thinking about acquiring some dragon blood to enhance his Blood of the Abyss, only to find that Winifred was treating it as food?!

And wasn’t the seventh head supposed to be the poetic and literary one? Yet now it seemed more like a foodie!

Still, Chen Bai had come here not only because the Abyssal Serpent Demon reminded him but also because he had collected a large number of books from White Emperor City. These were meant as gifts for Winifred.

Winifred’s fourth head had an innate thirst for knowledge and books.

The last time Chen Bai delivered a portion of his collection, the fourth head had gifted him the Eye of Secrets in return. It was the best deal he had ever struck!

This time, Chen Bai brought even more books gathered from White Emperor City, intending to visit the peculiar Nine-Headed Hydra.

“These books are gifts for you and your fourth brother! To our friendship!”

A flash of light appeared in the seventh head’s eyes, followed by an expression of delight.

“Excellent, excellent! I shall graciously accept your offering, Overlord. However, my fourth brother is currently meditating. Since reading those books of yours—particularly on mathematics—he’s been obsessed with building some kind of mathematical model. He believes it will significantly improve his power, so he hasn’t awakened yet!”

At this, Chen Bai noticed that the usual nine heads of Winifred were now hidden within the crevices and folds of the realm. Only the seventh head and the perpetually lazy eighth head were visible.

“Alright then, take these. I’ll greet your other brothers when they awaken…”

Before Chen Bai could finish, the sound of spatial tearing erupted.

A massive snake head emerged from the gaps in space atop the serpent’s enormous body, biting down on the charred remains of the dragon.

“Goddamn it! What the hell is this garbage? Pfft, pfft! It’s burnt! I told you, let the fifth brother cook! Why do you always have to mess things up, Seven?!”

The vulgar voice made it obvious—this was the irritable third head.

The seventh head ignored the third’s outburst. Seeing that Chen Bai was about to leave, it tore off a piece of the “kebab” and tossed it at his feet.

“Dear Overlord, for the sake of our friendship, I share with you this delicacy I so carefully prepared.”

Chen Bai blinked at the charred dragon meat lying before him.
