Volume 4, Chapter 60 – Is My Life More Important Than My Daughter

After learning Lucifa’s exact whereabouts, Tianyin still patiently waited until the time reached the next day.

Only when the cooldown on the Seven Original Sins was about to fully finish did Tianyin get ready to take Xiaobingxue, Mihiel and the Fallen Angels to go rescue Lucifa.

“Xiaoyin, Fisiel and Fischerna need to guard against the other factions, so we can’t deploy everyone this time, but Xiaoyin, you just need to hold out until Heavenly Father descends, alright?”

Before Tianyin set out, Xingyu Muxi gently and considerately reminded her.

“Mm-hm… got it…”

Tianyin also very clearly understood in her heart the difference in combat strength between herself and the Black Dragon King, so on this point she knew exactly where she stood.

“I’ll hold out until Heavenly Father shows up. Before that, I definitely won’t do anything stupid.”

“Mhm, good, then. I’ll be waiting for you to come back, Xiaoyin.”

“Mm-hm…”

After that brief farewell, Tianyin took Xiaobingxue, the Fallen Angel Mihiel, and the Fallen Angel legion and left Eden straight away.

Their destination was exactly the place where the Black Dragon King was currently hiding.

Namely the player Fanster’s territory, which had once been destroyed by the Black Dragon King.

……

In the void meanwhile.

Heavenly Father and the Abyssal Lord had already been trading blows for a long time.

Although from Heavenly Father having directly severely wounded the Black Dragon before, his strength was clearly immense, when facing not the Black Dragon King but the leader of Inferno, the Abyssal Lord, his strength seemed unable to come into play at all.

No… rather than say he could not draw out his strength, it was better to say that the Abyssal Lord’s combat power was also extremely formidable. Even though Heavenly Father could easily defeat the fellow Throne, the Black Dragon King, he had no advantage at all in the hands of the Abyssal Lord.

Boom! Boom! Boom—!

The void was cracking piece by piece under their battle. As fissures constantly opened, this void also continuously repaired itself.

Behind the Abyssal Lord, ghastly white rays sprayed out from those already open eyes and not only those pale beams, the Abyssal Lord was also swinging countless writhing tentacles to launch attacks in Heavenly Father’s direction.

Heavenly Father was likewise not just passively enduring the Abyssal Lord’s assault.

As a fellow Throne, Heavenly Father also had his own way of fighting, so when facing the Abyssal Lord’s dense and ferocious attacks, Heavenly Father chose to meet them head on.

The longsword wrapped in golden flames burned fiercely in Heavenly Father’s hand, and his spread, slowly beating white wings whipped up gales that could slice open the void.

It was as if endless gusts of wind were slicing apart the Abyssal Lord’s wildly proliferating tentacles section by section, and that longsword wrapped in golden flames, as Heavenly Father swung it, cut down every beam fired from the eyes behind the Abyssal Lord.

“Hahahahahaha… Heavenly Father, at this rate you’ll never defeat me… hahahahahahahahaha, you know that? As long as I’m here, you’ll never save your daughter.”

In the gaps between exchanges, the Abyssal Lord’s nasty personality also did not forget to jeer at Heavenly Father.

“Hmph.”

Faced with this obvious attempt to shake his mentality, Heavenly Father only answered with that cold snort, his expression blank.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha, Heavenly Father, there is actually another way, you know. How about it, all you have to do is beg me, kneel and beg me to let you go, and I’ll let you go save your daughter, how about it?”

Heavenly Father said nothing, while the Abyssal Lord kept pestering him relentlessly.

And the only response the Abyssal Lord got was Heavenly Father’s silence as he threw his entire being into the battle.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha, Heavenly Father, you keep saying you want to save your daughter, so why can’t you even do something like kneeling for her sake? Are you really trying to save your daughter?”

Seeing Heavenly Father remain silent, the Abyssal Lord only intensified its mocking tone and laughed even harder.

“Hahahahahaha, you keep talking about doing everything for your daughter yet you won’t kneel, just like you said yourself, you’re not a qualified father at all.”

“Abyssal Lord… you really don’t understand.”

After a long time, Heavenly Father, still swinging his longsword, finally spoke.

His white wings suddenly gave a violent shudder, then whipped up gales even fiercer than before.

“Before being a father, I am the leader of the Sanctuary, the existence that the people of the Sanctuary revere and look up to. Someone like me absolutely cannot kneel, even in death.”

“Hahaha, in that case… take that damn leader’s title of yours and go claim your daughter’s corpse.”

“A corpse? No, I will never let my daughter be hurt.”

At the Abyssal Lord’s words, Heavenly Father slowly lifted his head.

And on that utterly ordinary man’s face was an expression that looked ready to die without regret.

“I once swore before my already departed wife that as for Lucifa, my daughter, I would protect her for all her life.”

“Whether it is pain or sorrow, whether it is happiness or joy, all the different facets of life, I will allow her to experience them, but on that premise, I will never allow anyone to hurt her, not even once.”

Heavenly Father’s words made the Abyssal Lord pause for a moment.

But after that brief daze, the Abyssal Lord’s expression twisted even further.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha… but Heavenly Father, how can you possibly go save your daughter in your current situation? You should know that in this void, the passage of time is ten times that of the outside. If I hold you here for three days, when you get out, the only thing you’ll see will be your daughter’s corpse. Hahahahahahahahahaha.”

Admittedly, Heavenly Father’s resolve and that look of going to his death without fear had unsettled the Abyssal Lord in spite of itself.

But when it thought of the speed of time’s flow in this space and its own combat strength that was evenly matched with Heavenly Father, the Abyssal Lord still felt fully confident that in the end all Heavenly Father would be able to see would be his daughter’s corpse.

But…

The man before it suddenly laughed.

“Abyssal Lord, how about we make a bet…”

“A bet? Hahahahahahahahahaha, things have come to this and you’re still putting on a tough front, Heavenly Father?”

“This isn’t about putting on a front. I’m asking whether you dare to bet with me.”

“Hahahahahaha, interesting. Since you want to make a bet with me, what do you want to bet on?”

“Very easy.”

While cutting apart the white beams shooting from the eyes behind the Abyssal Lord, the man beat his wings, sweeping away the countless tentacles it flung at him.

“We bet on whether I can successfully rescue my daughter.”

“If I win, from this day on you are never again allowed to lay a hand on my daughter, and that includes schemes and plots.”

“Hahahahahaha, as if. Do you really think you’ll win?”

The Abyssal Lord felt like it had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

But in the face of the Abyssal Lord’s laughter, Heavenly Father only slowly loosened his grip on the longsword wrapped in golden flames.

At that moment.

His wings folded, the gales died out, and the masterless sword grew dim.

“You… don’t want your life?”

The Abyssal Lord’s smile stopped and its expression changed.

“Is my life more important than my daughter?”

The man’s face remained perfectly calm.
