I am God LSLCCF

”General, do you have any recent news about the Abyss Cult?”

The Dark Moon General paused in thought. ”Most of the evil followers were eliminated during the Eclipse Legionʼs purge,” he said, ”though their sinister plans still largely succeeded.”

”The remaining cultists vanished years ago, especially their High Priest. That cunning fellow seems to have disappeared completely.”

”Iʼve heard that traces of Abyss cultists have appeared recently in some villages near the wasteland.”

”However, only minor figures have appeared. Not even one Fallen High Priest has shown up.”

”Also, there are rumors about them in the southern five territories.”

”But that area is no longer under our control.”

Based on the Dark Moon Generalʼs words, Byron immediately suspected that the Abyss Cult must be hiding within the Southern City-State Alliance.

”No matter which hole these rats escape to, I will dig them out.”

”No one can protect them.”

The Abyss Cult had indeed appeared recently in the wasteland.

However, they were stationed at the Fire Demon Marsh, some distance from the wasteland.

This marsh was not connected to the Thunder Marsh. It was situated further upstream, near the wasteland.

In ancient times, this area served as the dwelling place of fire demons.

It was here that Sermos, Mother of All Snakes, contracted the first monster for the snake people. Only then did the snake people understand how to control the power of fire.

It was created as water from the Ice-Sealed Plateau melted and flowed into the lowlands. The water continued downstream, eventually forming the Shepherdʼs River and the Thunder Marsh.

Naturally, not all the water in the Thunder Marsh originated from the Ice-Sealed Plateau.

That area, under the influence of the Sky Beast God, experienced annual rainfall far greater than other parts of Ruhe Beast Island. This created a vast water forest world of unimaginable scale.

At this moment, numerous Abyss cultists were assembled on the Ice-Sealed Plateau.

Snow and ice covered the entire world, with undulating white glaciers appearing pale and severe. They stood at the most legendary and dangerous place on the Ice-Sealed Plateau.

Their gathering place was known as the legendary Heavenʼs Mirror.

These individuals were consumed by a corrupt power that did not come directly from the Abyss. Some had formed contracts with Abyss monsters, others had transplanted monster organs into their own bodies, and still others had drunk monster blood, driving themselves to the brink of madness.

Over the years, the Abyss cultists had created various methods to use Abyss power.

Some methods were extremely evil and insane. Among the Abyss cultists, however, such madness was all too common.

On the icy ridge, the current Abyss Cult High Priest asked, ”Is it recorded in the book? When does the door open?”

An evil follower wrapped in a black cloak tightened his garment and opened a worn, yellowed book. ”When the moon rises to the middle of the sky,” he read, ”the door will open, and the ancient secret place that traverses the river of time will appear before us.”

”Why wait?” an impatient cultist said. ”We can just destroy the ice surface directly.”

Raising his hand, a stone giant arm several meters long extended from behind, striking the ice surface with tremendous force.

However, the powerful divine technique struck the ice but had no effect. Instead, the stone giant arm broke apart.

The ice remained intact without the slightest mark. The force had not traveled downward but had instead rebounded entirely.

The man was instantly killed, blood flowing from his seven orifices as he lay on the ground.

Immediately, everyone fell silent.

After a long pause, someone finally broke the silence.

”Did he die?”

”Was he shaken to death?”

”Did he actually shake himself to death?”

The others couldnʼt help but laugh.

”That was unbelievably foolish.”

Yet, they could not deny the profound sense of mystery and the unknown that surrounded this place.

An Ability User had died so easily.

However, since they had already arrived, the plan had to proceed as intended.

The acting High Priest of the Abyss Cult had organized this mission. Present at the scene were evil followers who had been recently gathered from various parts of Ruhe Beast Island.

New Fallen High Priests, new Abyss cultists.

Their purpose was to enter the world beneath Heavenʼs Mirror to seek a secret about deities.

Yafuan, King of the First Layer of the Abyss, knew that Heavenʼs Mirror concealed the holy city of the most ancient race.
