Chapter 394 There is a more cruel one on the other side - Socially Anxious Witch in the Apocalypse

Su Miao descended from the void, holding an alloy staff. The Blood Demon Queen, Sale Taurus Bellea, now appeared as a stunningly beautiful eighteen-year-old, her vivid red hair captivating and pitiable. If it were possible, Su Miao quite fancied the idea of taming a demon lord into becoming a maid, much like protagonists in anime or games—a thought that seemed rather appealing. However, her social anxiety made such endeavors nearly impossible. If she truly needed a maid, Xia Xiao'an, Lin Jiujiu, and Su Luoli donning maid outfits would suffice. Besides, where could maid outfits compare to the cute stage costumes of beautiful girl idols? Most importantly, the Blood Demon Queen, Sale Taurus Bellea, wanted to kill her. When she first entered the domain of the magic town, the malice emanating from Sale felt as thick as ink. Even now, a faint hint of malice still lingered around her. The demon queen had to die. Witnessing the return of the witch Su Miao, Sale Taurus Bellea's face changed drastically. Unlike the previous encounters, this time Su Miao projected an unimaginable intimidation. This was the real presence of her true self! Of course, the evil spirit demon king and the hell demon king couldn't have perished so easily. It could only be the witch's true self who acted, achieving such efficiency. Staring at Su Miao before her, Sale felt the impending crisis of death. “Your Highness, here is a powerful magic book with a seal laid by a witch. I've spent centuries trying to open it but to no avail.” Sale presented the magic book, retrieved from her ring, with the utmost respect: “The text is written in an ancient language. I consulted many ancient scholars from the hidden world, but none recognized it. The only clue confirms the seal was set by a powerful witch.” A magic book? Su Miao took the book using her Mage's Hand. At just a glance, she confirmed that the book wasn't a trap. Are the words on this book hard to recognize? "Book of the Abyss" Author: Lin Xiaomeng ? Why does this title seem a bit unserious? Additionally, the seal on the magic book was immensely strong, layered with numerous laws. Ignorant attempts to break it could lead directly to death. However, under Su Miao's perception, the seal appeared exquisitely beautiful, intricately clever. What she saw was a complex web of laws. Among them were a water law and a fire law, as if tied together like a simple slipknot in daily life. All that was needed was to "grasp" the two laws and give them a gentle tug, easily unsealing it. “Can seals be played with like this?” Su Miao looked at the magic book, pleasantly surprised. With elegance, she lifted her hand, undoing the seal on the magic book. In an instant, the dispersing laws triggered a magnificent spectacle, piercing through the void, making the illusion Su Miao had constructed extraordinarily real. Not only that, these laws integrated themselves into the magic town as they dispersed, further stabilizing the town's domain. Su Miao blinked, delighted by the unexpected gift. From a distance, Sale watched Su Miao, now engrossed by the magic book, with a flash of disappointment in her eyes. This was not her first time gifting the book—three demon lords had died from the exploding seal, and one major demon lord was severely injured. Yet, the witch Su Miao effortlessly dispelled the seal, with nothing consequential happening. Could this witch before her be more terrifying than a great demon lord? Whether or not she was more terrifying than a great demon lord, Su Miao didn't know, but she clearly sensed the malice from Sale. After placing the "Book of the Abyss" into her magical space, she looked at the Blood Demon Queen with a frosty demeanor. Sale only perceived Su Miao becoming extraordinarily refined... 【This feeling—the witch wants to kill me!】 “Your Highness, I am willing to swear allegiance to you, even as a servant. I beg Your Highness to spare me!” Sensing the imminent fatal danger, Sale promptly pleaded. “Too late.” With elegance, Su Miao waved her hand. In space, the mechs responsible for besieging and confining the Blood Demon Queen activated their wormholes, fleeing the battlefield swiftly. Seeing this, Sale's terror intensified. Continuing their assault, these mechs would have been her demise. Yet the mechs fled. Su Miao pointed at Sale. Countless tentacles emerged from nothingness, all winding towards the Blood Demon Queen. Seeing the tentacles, Sale's face turned pale. Damnable witch. Before killing her, must she humiliate her? Infuriated beyond reason, Sale burst out. “Witch, I'll fight you to the end!” She unleashed an overwhelmingly powerful aura. Yet, her aura dissipated as tentacles continually intercepted her, thrusting her into a mire, engulfed in despair internally. The weakened Blood Demon Queen was ensnared by the powerful tentacles that bound her legs, waist, neck, and arms in a position utterly disgraceful... With tears of humiliation streaming down her face, Sale despaired. She was a demon queen! Kill her if she must, but how could she be humiliated this way? Su Miao paid no heed to the tears of Sale. Knowing to cry now—what were you doing before? An array for Starry Light burst open before her alloy staff, layers of amplifying magic matrices overlayed, channeling an endless surge of magic power into it. In an instant, darkness engulfed the sky, with only the glaring starry light shimmering, like the genesis of a cosmic explosion. Su Miao calculated the amount of magic power to input into the alloy staff, observing the limits the magic town domain could withstand. So far, the magic town domain remained stable, with no apparent issues. As for Sale, who was restrained by magical tentacles, she was plunged into utter despair watching the explosion of magical energy and the systematic fury of various laws unfurled by Su Miao. 【What kind of existence have I provoked?】 【I'm such a fool...】 Boom! As if the unending galaxy was being pulled down, it bombarded towards Sale. “Ahhhh!” She screamed in agonizing torment. The destructive magic energy, blended with multiple laws, annihilated the body of Sale, obliterating her soul. Her surviving demon core only managed to persist for three seconds before fragmenting, like burnt lime, scattering to dust. The Blood Demon Queen, Sale Taurus Bellea, perished! However, Su Miao's attention had never lingered on the Blood Demon Queen—her focus was on the magic town domain. After annihilating the Blood Demon Queen, the Starry Light pierced the void, triggering a void explosion. The starry battlefield Su Miao had structured endured for five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds... At twenty-five seconds, the starry realm began to collapse and shatter. In an instant, the illusion disintegrated. Nonetheless, the destructive energy unleashed by the Starry Light was majorly absorbed by the magic town domain. The remaining destructive energy continued its assault in all directions, while laws in various regions of the magic town interwove, flickered, and crumbled. In the blink of an eye, only minute ripples brushed outwards, akin to a breeze passing outside the magic town, as if nothing had transpired. The interior of the magic town lay in ruins, without a single intact abstract structure remaining. Well, the town's buildings were never complete to begin with. They merely collapsed again after being re-erected. Fortuitously, the laws constituting the magic town domain hadn't exploded. Moreover, the residual laws in the magic town surprisingly began to self-repair, though this self-repair would take quite a while. Considering the lack of energy on Earth and how extensively battered the magic town domain was, any marginal semblance of completeness was worthwhile. But regardless, thanks to the voluntary contributions of Sale Taurus Bellea. Su Miao's experiment succeeded! With a few more tests, there should be no issues. Stowing away her alloy staff, Su Miao hovered above the magic town, conducting a simple restoration to stabilize the town's domain. Having completed these tasks, she proceeded to the central hub, opening the "Book of the Abyss." Taking the "Book of the Abyss" back to read wouldn’t pose an issue. However, the intricate laws that sealed the book suggested that its opening might impact Lin Jiujiu and Xia Xiao'an. Therefore, Su Miao decided to peruse the book within the magic town domain to uncover its contents. As she turned the first page, she was met with an explosively bewildering opening. 【Having summoned countless evil gods and demon lords, it never occurred to me that one day an evil god would reverse summon me. Pity this feeble evil god lacked the answers I sought.】 【To reverse summon me, I expected great might, but truly, is this all?】 【What a letdown.】 【...】 【I've found myself in a tougher predicament—unable to find my way home or even return to my apartment.】 【I'm lost and wanted to ask a frequently dimension-hopping great demon lord for directions, but he claimed to know nothing about my world.】 【Useless demon lord, I ended up killing him.】 【…】 【Demon lords and evil gods are full of resources—I have an idea.】 【I'll use the demon lord's core and the evil god's divinity to summon more demon lords and evil gods. I once thought they only craved human bodies and souls; as a witch, how shallow I was.】 【While I have a moment, this great demon lord’s villa is quite nice; I might as well reside here for a while.】 【Oh, I should prepare more summoning spells to ensure the evil gods and demon lords fall for it.】 【Heh heh heh...】 Reading the "Book of the Abyss," Su Miao felt quite peculiar. This witch truly was extraordinary. The magical book she penned was expressly for summoning evil gods and demon lords. Moreover, the contents imply that due to her frequent and distinctive summoning, her exploits became legendary among demon lords and evil gods, causing many to avoid her traps. As Su Miao flipped through the book and observed its elaborate summoning circles for demon lords and evil gods, her admiration for this witch only grew. What a genius! “My domain experiment must continue, and this 'Book of the Abyss' is precisely what I need.” An idea sparked in her mind as she gazed down at the battered magic town domain, formulations for multiple plans emerging. What could better test the strength of the magic town domain than enlisting the help of demon lords and evil gods? Next, let the learning of summoning spells begin! … In the hidden realm, at Demon Ridge. Floating above the skies was Mist Island, where several demon lords had gathered to discuss the repair of the fractured space passageway. Ultimately, the plan fell to the great demon lord, Kento, who decided upon the course of action. The demon lords commenced the repair of the passage. First, due to the betrayal of the Blood Demon Queen, Sale, multiple demon lords jointly sacrificially offered the remaining demonic army she left behind. In an instant, a surge of blood energy shot towards the damaged space passageway, infusing it. With this influx of energy and the maintenance efforts of several demon lords, the repairs progressed smoothly. Ceaselessly working, the demon lords reached the world’s barriers. Only one step remained. That was to reopen the closed world fissure. At this juncture, Kento, the great demon lord, made a grand entrance, standing between heaven and earth, wielding an obsidian trident, channeling apocalyptic energies into the space passageway and directing it towards the world barrier's fissure. Luckily, this spot had always been a conduit between Earth and the hidden realm—though closed from damage—so reopening it before the cosmic barrier fully mended was not overly difficult. Had it never existed, forcibly opening it might require the sacrifice of a great demon lord like him and still not succeed. Even still, to breach the last section of the fissure, Kento had to completely exert himself. 【Darn it, once I reopen this passage, there’ll be hell to pay!】 【Damn, opening this broken passage is so hard, it’s such a loss!】 【Open, damn you!】 Exploding with greater power, Kento dyed the skies above Demon Ridge, threatening to plunge the region into chaos completely. Nearby demon lords knew the repair was reaching its critical stage. They dared not slack, collectively providing Kento with vast reserves of magic energy. Boom! In a fleeting moment, something shattered. Terrifying energy successfully breached the cosmic barrier, opening the nearly fully mended fissure. 【This was such a lousy deal, had I known, I wouldn’t have shown off!】 Feeling the depletion of his power, complex emotions rose within Kento. Later, he’d have to plunder the world beyond to recover from this loss. “Lord Kento, the passage to the other world is open!” The Chizhu Demon King exclaimed eagerly. The Shadow Demon King and others appeared equally eager and impatient. Lord Kento smiled, standing in the void: “I'll spare you excess words—capture the traitors from the Demon Lord Council and plunder the other world. Move out!” With his command, Kento charged first into the space passage, ready to descend upon Earth. However, halfway through, he halted abruptly. The Chizhu Demon King, Shadow Demon King, and others following closely were startled by Kento's sudden stop. Could there be instability within the passage? It wasn't a joke if true. Even as demon lords, encountering a collapsing world passage could excommunicate them to chaotic space currents, uncertain when they’d return. A streak of bad luck might see them consumed by a cosmological black hole, extinguishing them. “Lord Kento, what is it?” The Chizhu Demon King inquired. Deeply inhaling, Lord Kento replied: “There's something fiercer on the other side; this world is too dangerous. We're retreating.” Moments earlier, the aftershocks of the Starry Light had surged from the passageway. The aura of destruction brushed past, terrifying beyond belief! (End of chapter)
