For all present were friends she had invited.
The luminal cat filled with exuberance slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "The outer gods must be seething with rage.
We are merely plucking feathers from a single sheep.
Haha.
What can they do? They have no control over us.
" As we were under the care of our systems main deity, Kiki and the Ever Grandians, he the celebratory gathering extended late into the night until Kiki's daylight lamp suspended above the dark island transition to moonlight mode, gently reminding everyone to rest.
The dark island lacks the natural cycles of sunrise and sunset to prevent non-dark deities from developing biological and psychological issues in the absence of light.
Kiki had installed a daylight lamp at the onset of the war.
Each deity returned to their abodess for rest.
Suzi Han engaged in conversation with the leaders among her followers in a quaint three-story villa while Alice nestled in a corner fast asleep.
Ariel and Ellen reported various updates from their encounters with the deities.
The system assistant Lon diligently recorded and classified information into the hidden dossier of her master.
Once all reports were completed, the little mermaid approached with a sweet smile, "My esteemed deity, I have something of great importance to discuss privately.
" Suzhan Furuit her under the envious gazes of the others.
She departed the meeting room with the Little Mermaid towards her study.
The Little Mermaid retrieved a sealed item from her pearl space.
Suzie Han raised an eyebrow, fully aware that the Little Mermaid's words signified a significant occurrence.
Upon breaking the seal, she unveiled a shattered glass goblet.
The glass cup, fractured halfway, left only a significant portion of its body intact.
At first glance, it appeared unremarkable.
My lord, exercise caution, the mermaid cautioned.
Upon uttering these words, she channeled a surge of divine energy, and the cup suddenly exuded a plume of dark mist, an essence of the abyss.
As a malevolent aura coalesed, it threatened to manifest into a creature of the abyss, poised to strike.
The mermaid sprang into action, reciting incantations, and a barrier enveloped the cup containing the ominous vapors.
Silence ensued, wiping the perspiration from her brow.
The mermaid's demeanor visibly relaxed.
It was then that Sue Xihon realized this was no ordinary glass cup, but rather a malevolent artifact forged from the divine essences of numerous deities, a sinister relic capable of attracting the evil forces of the abyss.
Such an essence could not be dispelled, only sealed.
Forgive me for presenting this vile object which has sullied your noble eyes, my lady.
Yet, the mermaid felt compelled to report that similar items have been frequently discovered amidst the incursions of foreign deities from the abyss, and she had endeavored to gather and seal them without disturbing the commanders.
With that, she produced a collection of items in sconc within barriers.
If this continues, our star se project, the mermaid's expression fell into despair.
Was there to fear? Suzi Han gently ruffled the mermaid's hair.
Still, the mermaid could not shake her sadness.
"H, a creature from the abyss.
" A commotion erupted in the distance, emanating from where the commanders were dining.
"Fear not, for Sister Hung is here," reassured the lampat, its voice trembling with fright.
"Chapter 148.
" The prelude to dance the little mermaid's ears twitched as if she had perceived some distant sound, her gaze fixated upon the items ensconced within the barrier on the ground.
These objects, imbued with the essence of the abyss, began to stir, continuously emanating abyssal energy as though beckoned by an unseen force.
No longer tranquil, a sense of foroding filled her heart, an ominous premonition.
Her knowledge informed her that such disturbances typically occurred only when abyssal creatures were present in the vicinity, causing the items infused with abyssal energy to quiver.
Oh no, could something be a miss outside? The little mermaid cast a fearful glance at the deity, poised to offer a warning, only to witness the deity's sudden smile.
How peculiar.
She crouched down to retrieve the items the little mermaid had discarded.
One by one, the objects shattered the barrier, and as Suzhon tossed them out of the window, the abyssal power surged forth, coalescing into the forms of abyssal beings.
Divine one, this will attract the abyssal monsters.
The abyss is the nemesis of deities.
The little mermaid exclaimed urgently, her voice tinged with panic.
Please be cautious.
Her concern was palpable, her voice trembling as she remained fixated on the window.
In her understanding, the abyss was a terrifying force deeper than any void creature.
While void monsters inflicted physical harm, the abyss targeted the very soul, capable of tainting deities and their kin.
Those deities who succumbed to the abyss seldom met a favorable fate.
It was precisely for this reason that she had risked sealing these items bearing abyssal energy to ensure the smooth progression of the campaign initiated by the divine one.
She could not allow these abyssal infused objects to intimidate the attacking deities.
The little mermaid struggled to comprehend why the wise and powerful deity would permit the manifestation of abyssal monsters.
Was it a ploy to eliminate the deities of Blue Star and taint the space deity Lady Chi-Chi? Amidst the Little Mermaid's horrified gaze, the objects outside materialized into monsters.
Oh no, it was nearly too late.
Channeling divine power, she swiftly formed seals with her hands, attempting to create a barrier to confine these abyssal creatures.
She had learned a modicum of sealing techniques in her past life.
Suddenly, a frantic knocking echoed from outside the door.
It was Ariel calling for the deity.
Her voice tinged with urgency.
Pardon my intrusion.
There are anomalies reported from our allies at Blueest Star.
Everyone is calling for help.
As abyssal monsters are suspected to be invading.
Please, Divine Lord, act swiftly to lead us to safety.
Suzi Han opened the door to find Ariel in a state of distress.
However, her expression bore no trace of fear.
Instead, she possessed a hint of excitement as she replied, "Do not worry.
It has already been resolved, is quite delectable.
" Ariel, taken aback by the deity's response, was left puzzled.
"Dectable? What could that mean?" Yet, her faith in the deity led her to believe that the matter had been handled.
It seemed that the Allied commanders were likely unharmed.
The beautiful and graceful night sister, suppressing her anxiety, was just beginning to relax when she beheld the scene outside.
Several abyssal monsters loomed at the window, lunging toward them.
A wave has barely settled before another arises.
She quickly regains her composure, preparing to leap out the window.
Though fear grips her, she resolves to protect the divine being at all costs, even at the expense of her own life.
At this moment, the Little Mermaid stands solemnly behind the divine figure, her hands forming intricate gestures, beads of cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
Just as Ariel leaps from the window, she witnesses the dark sun manifest before the abyssal monsters who unwittingly plunge into its depths.
One particularly slow abyssal creature, sensing danger, attempts to flee.
The dark sun extends its tendrils, ins snaring it in a swift motion, and the creature vanishes from this realm.
Those bearing the essence of the abyss continue to coalesce into new monsters, only to be devoured by the dark sun the moment they materialize and gain the ability to act.
Ariel, astonished, turns to gaze at the divine figure, her expression frozen in disbelief.
Thud.
The sound of the little mermaid collapsing onto the floor reverberates through the air.
The barrier spell she had intended to cast remains unlaunched as the abyssal monsters are effortlessly dispatched.
In her haste, the little mermaid fails to maintain her levitation, tumbling to the ground.
Do not lie there.
The floor is cold.
She hears the divine figure's voice.
Raising her head, she sees the divine being extending a hand towards her, adorned with a sweet and radiant smile, brimming with joy and light.
With the abyssal monsters dispatched, the divine figure seems utterly delighted.
Shall we dance? Suzi Han invites the little mermaid.
Overwhelmed with happiness at the divine figure's invitation, the little mermaid is simultaneously struck by the absurdity of the situation.
Her mental state feels precarious.
Why? Why has the divine being suddenly invited her to dance? Shouldn't they be pursuing their victory, sealing away all items harboring the essence of the abyss? Outside, pollutants continue to draw forth the abyssal monsters, bringing them into existence.
