“Aiya aiya, This is really… really tragic…” Sui Xiong lied down in the boiling water that had sulphuric steam while he groaned in pain.

To be seated up by the entire orc God system was definitely not a happy experience. Even though he was quick to respond and well prepared, he had to take a few punches before he managed to flee.

The direction that he fled was a bottomless Abyss.

The Abyss was located in the “negative” ring of the world, which was a very dangerous and messy region. There were countless creepy spirits that gestated and various inexplicable things that could happen. The experts here were crowded but there was no order, not even a demi-god or even God-like level experts who might die obscurely by the road side in a remote corner of nowhere.

Sui Xiong noticed the pond after he came through to this dimension. At the bottom of the pond, there was something jumping slowly. It was a huge heart, he realized, when he took a closer look. Looking around carefully, he realised that the mountain where the pond was located was actually a huge human corpse. The vital wound of the corpse was on the chest. Although the heart had yet to be torn apart, the weird power had sunken in and wiped out its vigor.

The coordinates were given to him by the God of Justice and claimed them to be “definitely safe.” From what he saw then, the corpse might have belonged to the king of the Abyss; and the one who killed it was the God of Justice himself.

When Sui Xiong came through to this world his actual form was difficult to describe verbally. If he had to, it could probably be explained by the concept of “parallel world.” Countless worlds in various sizes paralleled with one another and formed a huge system, collectively known as Thousand Worlds.

In this realm there were four huge worlds that formed a magical ring. The ring of the world was categorised into four dimensions: material, spiritual, positive and negative.

There were multiple layers on material dimensions. For instance, the most commonly seen main dimension was star realm, where a sea of stars twinkled; element realm, heaven, and hell. The holy kingdoms of various gods were built on the material dimension, but the locations were different.

The spiritual dimension was crucial for the communication of each layer and world. For example, the heart realm was known as one of the main connections that linked up the Thousand Worlds. Taking in consideration that the other main connection in River Styx had higher risks, it could said to be the only practical main connection.

The positive dimension referred to order and life of worlds; it was different than heaven, and not anywhere beautiful. On the contrary, it was full of danger and disaster. It was akin to the saying, “Things always reverse themselves after reaching an extreme.”

The Gods Alliance Meeting’s Pantheon temple was the only reliable safe zone in the positive realm in the ring of the world. Besides that, various gods didn’t quite like stepping foot there.

The negative realm was the world of chaos and extermination. There wasn’t anything like “things always reverse themselves after reaching an extreme”; it was actually really ferocious and dangerous.

The power of the origins of the world flowed out from the positive realm, passed through the material realm and flowed into the negative realm. Then it flowed out from negative realm, passed through the spiritual realm, and flowed back into the positive realm, forming a huge cycle.

The Abyss was the most important world in the negative realm; or maybe it should be said, of many worlds. It was messily piled up by countless worlds in different sizes. Regardless of material or space, they were in a mess. There were many strong magic monsters that lived within, and they would attack and kill one another. They had the desire to rush to other worlds to cause damage.

The Abyss also had some areas that were comparatively more stable. Every area as such normally went through vigorous competition: the strong one that got to rule it would be known as the King of the Abyss. It was similar to other Gods and commanders in heaven and hell; just that these Kings were mostly the kind that were mentally abnormal, and the way they did things was not reliable. Besides some other crazy ones that were also mentally abnormal, there was no one else willing to mix with them.

Sui Xiong lied down in the pond that was transformed from a King’s corpse and absorbed the heat, that could even melt rocks, to slowly recover his injuries.

He was really severely injured and had to take a good rest.

But the world was not always as one wished. His injuries were only 20 to 30% recovered. He could feel the space in the border of the world shaking, and a bunch of spirits from other worlds dashed in to fight with the locals in the world.

The spirits in Abyss were normally known as devils, magic tribes, or demons; something along those lines. How many tribes were there? No one knew. But there was something that everyone knew: it was that these bastards didn’t practice any “fellowship of the same clan,” let alone “the wicked help the wicked.” When they met each other, most of them only wanted to kill the other party and eat them, to grow stronger by eating up the other’s power.

Stronger, stronger until they were strongest. Most of the devils thought only of this all day.

What is a monster? Monster meant chaos, from the beginning ’till the very end. Illogical and irrational. There was no way of communication.

In the front row of Pantheon temple, among the four gods from the origins of the world, there was The God of Chaos. It disappeared long ago; for tens of thousand years, no Gods had ever seen Him. Some thought that He had passed, but the invincible might ensure His throne to not shatter; some thought he was in deep sleep and uncertain of when He was going to wake up; even more thought that He had become the King of Devils in the deepest place of the Abyss, the existence of chaos, in essence.

Most of the devils were not entirely a chaotic existence, but the clarity of their brains was quite limited. Only when they were onto something very important would they maintain basic consciousness, and not to the point where they went crazy.

For example, when they invaded the other worlds within the Abyss.

Sui Xiong noticed that those devils that invaded had many light blue patterns on the surface of their bodies, and many had frost hoops around their bodies. That showed that they belonged to the snow series.

The power of ice was relatively more calm. The devils that possessed such power would be a little more rational.

In contrast, the devils that had many bright red patterns on the surface of their bodies were mostly experts in fire; one could tell their types in one glance.

The power of flame was especially ferocious and chaotic. In combination with the inborn chaotic character of a devil, the effect was not as simple as one plus one equals two. From the local devils, one could tell that they were way more violent and messed up compared to those invaders. They had no order when they fought and they were just a bunch of mad men.

For instance, it was not only once that Sui Xiong saw the local devils rub their hands together to form a huge fireball and raise it up; and instead of throwing towards the invader devils, hurling it at someone around him that he found an eye sore.

Hey! Do you have something wrong with you?! Take some medicine if you are crazy!

The first time when he saw such a scene, Sui Xiong nearly screamed. But in the end, he got used to it.

Even the other party, who was relatively more rational, picked up devils that were of smaller size around them and ate them like snacks. So, those who threw fireballs at their allies were nothing.

These b*stards, do they have no idea of what comrade-in-arms means?

The battle efficiency of these devils was so low it pissed people off. Sui Xiong was soaked in the blood of the Devil King’s heart to slowly recover while he looked at these bastards fighting against each other. At first, he thought that they wouldn’t need to fight for long to call for victory or defeat. But in the end, although both parties had severe injuries and dead, there were endless follow-ups. So after long battle, there was still no results.

Sui Xiong noticed that the world was giving birth to new devils, endlessly. Although they had various looks, the bright red patterns on their body was similar. Plus, they were all playing with fire, not one was an exception.

On the other hand, the party with blue pattern had endless new fighters as well; the situation was probably about the same as the one here.

The speed at which devils from both parties died was very fast, but the speed that they were born were fast too. They continued to fight and kill, and it didn’t look anywhere near time to call for victory or defeat.

Sui Xiong waited for god knows how long, until his injuries were almost recovered. The two gang of devils were still fighting against each other.

He was not in a rush to go back but lied in the pond. He absorbed the endless fire power while he looked into the ecology of the devils.

The theme park had the God of Justice watching over, so he didn’t need to worry about it. It was a rare opportunity to visit the Abyss and he would feel sorry for himself if he didn’t take another looks.

After a while, he finally got bored and flew out of the blood pond.

The huge jellyfish waved its tentacles. However, it did not tear open the space to return to the main dimension but flew towards the two gang of devils that were in a vigorous fight.

“You guys have been fighting for so long, it’s so annoying to even watch!” He shouted. “Let me lend you a helping hand to end the battle quickly!”

Then, the few tentacles drew strange runes simultaneously and casted magic at the same time. Huge fireballs were shot one after another towards the middle of where the blue patterned devils stood formation were.

Taken by surprise, the blue patterned invaders were beaten up in an embarrassing predicament. At least 100 or more devils vanished under the attack, and that caused the speed of their replacement to be slightly slower.

Sui Xiong did not show mercy but continued to fly towards the battlefield while throwing fireballs continuously. He followed the same pattern that was simply brutal and bombed savagely.

His magic powers were way stronger compared to the local devils. Maybe only the king that the God of Justice killed was on par with him. While he spared no effort in attack, the normal devils couldn’t withstand him. The originally crowded blue army that couldn’t see an end were suddenly scattered around.

But as those blue devils dared to invade, they of course wouldn’t only have some weak chickens that were like cannon fodder. Suddenly, there was an earth-shaking roar. A strange devil with tiger body, crocodile head, and a pair of claws on its shoulders, jumped through the crack at the border of the two worlds.

It came out, then waved its claw around and flooded in endless ice spikes, like a rain shower of sharp blades. It covered the entire region where Sui Xiong was at and his surroundings.

Sui Xiong laughed coldly and rolled his tentacles to root out a big tree, which could burn itself without fire, that was next to him. He used it as a weapon to swing it left and right to block off all the ice blades.

“Honestly speaking, I have curiosity towards the ability of the Abyss Kings,” He said. “Coincidentally, I was beaten up previously and I am in a very bad mood. Come on and fight with me; let me find a sense of satisfaction from bullying the weak!”
