Volume 4, Chapter 32 – The End

Inferno.

Black Dragon Nest.

Although his arm had been sliced off directly by Heavenly Father, as a Throne-tier, the Black Dragon King also possessed methods to heal his own wounds, so on the second day, Black Dragon King Xingousa reattached his severed arm.

Once his arm was reattached, the Black Dragon King Xingousa naturally developed a grudge toward Heavenly Father, who had cut off one of his arms.

“Heavenly Father… if I don’t avenge this hatred, I swear I’m no dragon!”

Speaking through gritted teeth with extreme resentment, the aura of the Throne-tier Black Dragon King swelled along with his rising anger and spread over the entire Black Dragon Nest.

Countless Black Dragons in the nest began to tremble, afraid that this ancestor of theirs might, in his fury, do something that dragged them into disaster.

Indeed.

The Black Dragon King was especially furious right now, but given the current situation, having just been heavily wounded by Heavenly Father, all he dared to do at the moment was curl up inside the Black Dragon Nest and vent his rage in frustration.

After all, Heavenly Father’s combat strength was obvious to everyone. As a Dragon King who had lived up to the present, the Black Dragon King had his own way of judging the situation.

“Black Dragon King… hahahahahahahaha, to think that you, once one of the Dragon Kings who ruled the world, are now reduced to hiding in your nest and raging uselessly. This is just too amusing… hahahahahahahahaha…”

While the Black Dragon King was “raging uselessly” in his nest, a twisted phantom suddenly appeared before his eyes.

That figure radiated an incomparably chaotic aura, and if an ordinary NPC were to look straight at it, they would be affected by the madness it gave off, losing their reason and ultimately turning into a frenzied monster.

“Abyssal Lord! You wouldn’t show up at my door for nothing. Go on, what business do you have with me? It’s definitely not just to make fun of me, right?”

The Black Dragon King stared in surprise at the phantom that had suddenly manifested. Although there was a trace of displeasure in his tone, overall his attitude didn’t really turn nasty in response to the Abyssal Lord’s mocking laughter.

“Hahahahahaha… as expected, I still can’t keep anything from you… hahahahahahahahaha. Old friend, I know you long to become that one and only End, but you are not the chosen one… hahahahaha. So, how about it, do you want to become that one?”

The Abyssal Lord laughed wildly, and just from the way it spoke, anyone would feel like this being was rambling like a lunatic.

However, after hearing the Abyssal Lord’s words, the Black Dragon King’s eyes became extremely serious.

“Abyssal Lord… do you know what you are talking about? The End… as the supreme opposing side, that kind of existence only exists as a concept…”

“I understand… hahahahahahahahaha, doesn’t that make it interesting? To let the End, through my hands, transform from pure concept into reality… isn’t that kind of thing fascinating?”

The phantom twisted as it spoke, and its words sounded just as twisted in the Black Dragon King’s ears.

“The End represents the end of all things… Abyssal Lord, if you really create the End, then as the one who created it, you will be the first to be devoured by the End… you should be very clear on that, right?”

“Of course~ I know, hahahahahahahahaha. Doesn’t that make it even more interesting? Hahahahahahahahaha!”

“Interesting? No, it only shows your thinking is way too distorted… Abyssal Lord, going by what you’re saying, you intend for me to become the End? In that case, you should also be very clear on what the true essence of the End’s power is, right?”

“Of course… in the old days I even exchanged knowledge with the Dragon race… and in this world, there is no knowledge that I do not understand… for someone like me, calling myself all-knowing and all-powerful isn’t even an exaggeration…”

The Abyssal Lord bragged about itself.

“Hahahahahahahahaha… the very nature of the Abyss is one aspect of the End, and the true power of the End, at its core, lies in the Seven Deadly Sins… Wrath, Greed, Gluttony, Pride, Envy, Sloth, Lust… the power of these Seven Deadly Sins is the most basic framework that forms the End!”

“Correct… the Seven Deadly Sins… are the most fundamental power that makes up the End.”

The Black Dragon King nodded in strong agreement.

“In that case… since you know all this, you should understand just how difficult it is to gather all Seven Deadly Sins, right?”

“No, no, no… difficult… The difficulty is what makes it interesting, isnahahahahahahahahahaha…”

The Abyssal Lord let out crazed laughter.

“Come now… Black Dragon King Xingousa, I can help you become the Abyss, and in exchange, once you stand among those who have become the End, I want you to show me to your heart’s content the power that belongs to the End!”

There was no getting around it… the way the Abyssal Lord spoke was just like some kind of masochist…

“That’s your condition?”

“Exactly… hahaha. Legends of the End have long circulated within the Abyss, but the End only exists as a concept and has never manifested… to me… the End… is the unknown! And an unknown existence is the one that interests me the most! Hahahahahahahahaha…”

Even though he didn’t understand the Abyssal Lord’s logic, it did seem that the Abyssal Lord truly wanted to help him.

However, out of caution, the Black Dragon King Xingousa did not choose to trust the Abyssal Lord.

“Even if you put it that way, I still can’t tell whether your words are trustworthy or not… But since you want me to become the End, and I also have that intention, then at least in how we approach the problem, we’re aligned.”

“Right! Right! Black Dragon King Xingousa, trust me, I will help you… become that supreme opposing side, the End that brings everything to a close!”

“Forget it. Even if you say it like that, I still won’t trust you, Abyssal Lord… how about this, go capture the Lord of Pride Lucifa and bring her back. If you manage that, I’ll believe what you say.”

The Black Dragon King was not going to be swayed by a few lines from the Abyssal Lord. As a being that had lived for over a million years, he was not someone who could be stirred by a couple of sentences.

From the Black Dragon King’s perspective… no matter how nice the Abyssal Lord made it sound, it was pointless. What mattered was whether it could bring him concrete “benefits” that would actually move him.

After all, if no benefits were put on the table and he, the Black Dragon King, rushed out to “make a move” and failed, the one who would end up shouldering all the aggro would only be the Black Dragon King, not the Abyssal Lord pulling strings from the shadows.

“Hahahahahahaha… as expected, Black Dragon King, you’re not that easy to convince!”

“Hmph… you know what kind of dragon I am and still try to sway me? Do you really take me for some ungrown Black Dragon?”

The Black Dragon King let out a disdainful cold laugh.

“How about this… I can help you hold off Heavenly Father, stop him from interfering when you go after the Lord of Pride Lucifa… how about it? Of course, I’ll also assign eighteen Abyssal Monarchs to follow all of your commands! How about that, generous enough?”

“Mm? Are those words… for real?”

The Black Dragon King’s eyes began to flicker.

“Hahahahahahahahaha… what do you think?”
