Chapter 559: Roping In The Lord Of Decay
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation , Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You, as you are now, are more of a pitiful creature than anyone else.” Alanic looked down from above with disdainful eyes at the Lord of Decay sitting on
the throne.
“Your Majesty Alanic! I’ve lost my authority. You can’t remain unaffected either, so don’t provoke me!” said the Lord of Decay angrily.
“A wretched creature like you dares to threaten me?” she said in contempt. “No need to use vicious words to mask your weak inner self. I’m here to offer you an opportunity. A chance to become strong again and not this pitiful creature who is scared to leave his own place.”
“I don’t believe your subordinates are still completely obedient to your orders!”
said Alanic.
The Lord of Decay’s confidence dropped, but he still refused to yield.
The Abyss was a place where chaos and evil converge. It was filled with unimaginable terror and malice.
In this extremely wicked place, strength was the only pass that allowed
survival.
Having lost authority, the Lord of Decay could no longer order his powerful subordinates.
In particular, many demons with powers akin to legends or even demigods
refused to obey him.
For these demons, if they couldn’t be deterred by strength, they would no
longer regard their former master with respect.
Rebellion was a common occurrence in the Abyss.
Every demon harbored ambition. They wanted to become powerful and
dominate others.
After losing his power, the Lord of Decay had to face rebels.
In the end, he could only retreat to his palace and rely on traps set up millions
of years ago to overpower the traitors!
Now, he was mocked by Alanic. The Lord of Decay felt like a doormat being stepped on.
The situation had reached this point, yet he was powerless!
Alanic smiled charmingly and gently waved her hand.
The surrounding space rippled with even stronger fluctuations.
The shattered void revealed a scene that took the Lord of Decay’s breath away.
Countless Spider Elves stood on the charred ground and awaited their mistress’s command.
Apart from the numerous Spider Elves, the Rotten Wax Demons also waited obediently.
However, what horrified him was the giant standing in the core area. It was a giant burning with abyssal flames.
After sensing the fearful aura emanating from it, the Lord of Decay couldn’t help but exclaim, “Darkness! You’re cultivating darkness?”
Darkness didn’t belong to this world, so both evil and righteous gods despised and opposed them.
Furthermore, darkness possessed unconventional power, like an insatiable desire to hunt and attack gods.
So even within the Abyss, darkness was a presence to be avoided.
The Lord of Decay clearly saw that the dark creature bore many features of the
Rotten Wax Demons.
The Rotten Wax Demons were lifeforms created by Alanic using countless forbidden spells and evil substances. They served as her personal aides.
“After the last battle of the gods, I foresaw greater upheavals in the future.” Alanic’s face darkened.
Darkness was an uncontrolled existence. Even the rules of creation could only barely suppress them.
Alanic had been planning for hundreds and thousands of years for this.
Finally, after the gods lost their power, the fusion wax fiends acquired a portion of the power of darkness.
“Now that you’re aware of their location, why come to me?” asked the Lord of
Decay.
“Because I sensed the aura of Decaying Authority from the lifeform that obtained the Heart of Darkness,” said Alanic in amusement.
‘The Decaying Authority!’
“The damn Lord… that lowly existence!” The Lord of Decay’s eyes widened. An image of the Dark Withered Tree flashed through his mind. He scowled.
He never thought that the Lord would obtain the heart of the Bloody Shadow Demon!
His authority was stolen, his plans of tens and thousands of years were shattered, and now this!
Coupled with the fact that he, the ruler of the Abyssal realm, was reduced to the point of cowering in his palace, jealousy and anger surged in his heart.
“To obtain the heart of the Bloody Shadow Demon without being devoured by the power transcending the world indicates that the Lord is not simple,” said Alanic in all seriousness.
Moreover, the two entities had a significant history between them.
“Lord of Decay, would you be willing to join me this time? I only need the heart of the Bloody Shadow Demon. In return, the authority of decay shall be yours.” “I’ll make that bastard taste true agony!” The Lord of Decay didn’t hesitate at all.
“You only need to manipulate the authority of decay at the crucial time to restrain the power of the lifeform that obtained the heart of the Bloody Shadow Demon. I’ll take care of the rest,” said Alanic slowly.
If she hadn’t lost her authority, she would never have invited the Lord of Decay along.
But the situation now had become so dire that it was difficult to endure. When one can’t make a move, they can always use a scapegoat.
The Lord of Decay calmed himself and gazed at Alanic.
He felt pressure to collaborate with this terrifying entity who was renowned throughout the Abyss.
However, he couldn’t give up on this opportunity. This was his chance to regain his power!
Given the circumstances, how could he not take on this gamble?
“Your Majesty Alanic, are you sure that the authority of decay hasn’t been stripped away?”
“If that were so, would you still have any value?” asked Alanic.
-May I know what your plan is?” The Lord of Decay seemed to relax slightly.
The restrictions on the rift leading to the Main Plane were significant, and only a very limited amount of extraordinary power could pass through.
The growth of the Lords was astonishing. Without sufficient strength to destroy the opponent, acting rashly might raise their vigilance, which might not be a good thing.
Having experienced defeat, the Lord of Decay didn’t dare to underestimate the Lords.
Weaklings were not capable of manipulating him as they pleased!
After the last battle of the gods, Alanic discovered that the gods were harboring a special power.
That power didn’t belong to the authority, but it was no less potent.
For this reason, she found a unique plane and nurtured the corpse of a god within it.
Originally, she had planned to send that power into the Main Plane, so that it would be recognized by the rules that governed the Main Plane.
Once she reclaimed that power, she would possess strength comparable to the ultimate authority!
Moreover, it will be a power unaffected by the rules!
This was why she didn’t take action against the Lords at all.
She needed that power to mature, and she sensed that the moment had come. “What if the power you seek is already in the hands of the other person?” The Lord of Decay looked at Alanic, and his last worry also dissipated..
