Chapter 630: Conspiracy in the Sea of Chaos

Chapter 630: Chapter 582: Conspiracy in the Sea of Chaos

Deep within the Sea of Chaos.

Amidst the gray-white haze, a blood-red mist suddenly seeped out. This mist swiftly rose and spread. Tens of millions of crimson bones materialized from within the bloody mist, then assembled into a blood-drenched skeleton.

The skeleton rose from the haze.

Towering and immense, it was an eerie, sanguinary sight.

The moment its assembly was complete, the blood-red mist in the Sea of Chaos began to boil. Not only that, but an illusion of millions of corpses appeared behind the skeleton. Though it was an illusion, the details were so vivid they seemed real. Some lay face up, others tore themselves apart in struggle. Some had their backs split open by blades and axes, revealing stark white spines. For others, metal edges were embedded in their flesh, where rust and clotted blood had fused together.

Severed limbs and broken bones were everywhere.

A mountain of corpses in a sea of blood.

If Amonev were here, she would have found this scene all too familiar. One hundred and twenty thousand years ago, this was the image that accompanied Slaughter Heaven, one of the four Ancient Abominations and the symbol of slaughter and violence. That supreme, blood-drenched skeleton had reaped the lives of countless creatures in the Star Sea. Wherever it went, civilizations collapsed, war and death followed in its wake, and fear and despair lingered indefinitely.

This was the reborn Slaughter Heaven, which now had a new name: Annihilation Heaven. The change was made to distinguish and distance itself from the failures of the past.

Few creatures existed in the Sea of Chaos.

But at this moment, war and death could be displayed in another form—for instance, the realistic illusion of the “mountain of corpses in a sea of blood.” The skeleton stood at the forefront of this battlefield of death, like a king.

It opened its toothed jaw, and the chaos before it froze into ice.

Its voice was hoarse and cold.

“Foolish.”

“Truly foolish.”

“The power of Evil Thought Heaven originally needed only two thousand years to re-coalesce and be reborn. But now, it’s been completely snuffed out in its infancy! That foolish Flower of Evil Thoughts, before it had even evolved, actually provoked a powerful being from the Star Sea!”

It was furious.

And when it was furious, it naturally needed another creature to vent its anger on.

From the red mist behind the skeleton, a two-headed creature of supreme beauty suddenly emerged. It possessed two heads. The left was male, and that half of its body was magnificent and masculine. The right was female, and that half of its body was enchanting and alluring. These diametrically opposed symbols were fused into a single being. It should have been discordant, but instead, it was perfectly harmonious, like a natural marvel of divine craftsmanship—the universe’s ultimate work of art.

Be they xenos or creatures of the Star Sea, male, female, or even an asexual attack helicopter shopping mall bag, all would feel a stirring in both body and soul upon seeing this two-headed being. They would then be plunged into infinite bliss, unable to control themselves.

It spoke.

Its voice could melt the hardest, most unfeeling ice and steel.

“That flower? Foolish indeed.”

“But it’s understandable.”

“Even I needed your help and had to lie dormant for thirty thousand years just to barely reform my Ancient Abomination body. That foolish flower had no one to help it. It’s only normal that it couldn’t hold back and wanted to take a few shortcuts. After all, it always loved to dabble in those unsavory things—malice, corruption, erosion, evil thoughts… Hehehe, so roundabout. Not nearly as direct as slaughter and desire.”

The two-headed being spoke as it walked to the skeleton’s side.

The personification of desire and joy.

The reborn Luxury and Lust Heaven, now called Paradise.

It was no wonder Bai Yimo had been misunderstood by the Sovereign of the Twelfth Cosmic Country, who mistakenly believed she was connected to the Ancient Abomination, Luxury and Lust Heaven. Every move this two-headed being made was like a “plus version” of Bai Yimo. Even just standing there in silence, it could cause any creature to fall into lewd fantasies—to be consumed by desire, to masturbate madly, to be easily conquered, or to sink into ecstasy.

“In any case, the lineage of Evil Thought Heaven has been severed. Are we just going to let this go?”

“Are we going to continue lying low?”

In an instant, Paradise shifted through several forms: a green, dragon-scaled humanoid; a demon from Hell with seductive eyes; a devilishly charming male fox-spirit with a downy face; and a powerful, armored Iron Maiden.

“Of course we can’t just let it go. But first, we need to find Sinful Heaven and help it complete its final evolution. Having lost an ally, only by gathering the power of the three remaining Ancient Abominations can we completely wash away the shame of one hundred and twenty thousand years ago.”

“Sinful Heaven…”

The Armored Iron Maiden frowned.

She and Sinful Heaven countered each other.

The concepts they embodied were as incompatible as fire and water; one represented desire and joy, the other sin and suffering. One hundred and twenty thousand years ago, it was that humorless old fool who held back the former Luxury and Lust Heaven, allowing her power and body to be utterly shattered by the gods in the Star Sea. She had to recuperate for this long just to be reborn.

And that was only thanks to the help of her companion, Annihilation Heaven, and the fact that the creatures of the Star Sea and the Sea of Chaos were so keen on debauchery.

Their power came from reality.

The more slaughter and the more debauchery there was, the faster their powers would increase and recover.

The reason Evil Thought Heaven and Sinful Heaven were so far behind them in terms of reawakening was because symbols like “evil thoughts,” “suffering,” and “sin” were inherently less popular than “slaughter” and “debauchery.” This put them at a disadvantage in their speed of revival.

“Rest assured,

“I can faintly sense that it is still in the ‘Calamity’ stage. It cannot affect you, let alone counter you.”

“We must be wary after what happened to the Flower of Evil Thoughts. By helping the Sinful Calamity complete its evolution, we’ll gain more strength for our revenge. As for you and it countering each other, you needn’t worry. I will find the source of the Flower of Evil Thoughts and give you half of it. Once you devour its power, you will no longer fear being countered by Sinful Heaven.”

A fallen Ancient Abomination was worthy of mourning, but even more worthy of being devoured.

‘My teammate… you smell so good.’

Paradise, having shifted from an Armored War-Maiden to a fox-spirit girl, nodded in agreement with the plan. She then leaned down and asked:

“So what now? Do we head to the place where the Flower of Evil Thoughts grew? Look for some clues?”

“No.”

The blood-red skeleton shook its head.

“First, we find Sinful Heaven, which is still in its evolutionary stage.”

“Will that be easy?”

When the four Ancient Abominations fell, their contingency plans were scattered across the Star Sea and the Sea of Chaos, hidden extremely well. Even fellow Ancient Abominations couldn’t necessarily detect each other’s arrangements. The reunion of Slaughter Heaven and Luxury and Lust Heaven was already a stroke of luck.

“I can sense its location. It’s in the distant Star Sea.”

“The Star Sea?”

The fox-spirit girl frowned, but the wrinkles on her brow quickly smoothed out, her expression brightening once more.

‘The Star Sea…’

‘What a wonderful place. Full of endless joy and desire, a perfect breeding ground for debauchery… After more than a hundred thousand years of dormancy and re-formation, every time she recalled the splendors of that starry sky, Paradise couldn’t help but enter a peculiar state. If she could return there now, it would be a cause for celebration.’
