Abyss Summoner

Chapter 503 - 491: The Curtain Rises

Chen Feng had long understood the essence of power. Looking at the people entrenched around him, Wei Xun, Lu Wei, Dark Elf—if they were outside, which one of them wouldn’t be a daunting challenge? The reason they appear so docile now ultimately lies in the strength he possesses.

In this era of winners and losers, killing was not wrong in his eyes, so Chen Feng felt no ripple in his heart when he decided to kill.

However, it was a pity about the opponent’s skills.

Professionals vary in strength. Apart from some common existences, such intricate puppet art as this was something even Chen Feng had never seen before.

Chen Feng didn’t mind cultivating a few ambitious individuals, as long as he could dominate them. These ambitious people wouldn’t dare to show a trace of rebellion.

Take Wei Xun, for example: before being subdued, he was plotting against his close friend. To say he was loyal was a joke, but... what made him serve Chen Feng so loyally? Was it love?

No!

It was Chen Feng’s sharp and deadly blade!

But this boy was an exception. As someone with certain mental disorders, he successfully aroused Chen Feng’s killing intent.

"Sir, the cannons are aimed," a warrior stood by, seeking instructions from Chen Feng.

"Fire,"

With a single command followed by several blinding lights in the sky, six Demon and Martial Cannons roared in unison at the cruise ship before them.

"Boom!"

Amidst the blaze, the cruise ship, laden with countless sins, gradually sank into the seabed.

Hundreds of people ultimately found their eternal rest in the ocean.

Witnessing this scene, the surrounding warriors displayed inexplicable expressions in their eyes. Some couldn’t help but think, without the Lord’s protection, they might have ended up like those on the ship, dying inexplicably.

It would be a relief to be eaten by bugs or beasts, but the thought of being infected by zombies, turning into mindless chaotic creatures, sent shivers down one’s spine, evoking a sense of melancholy.

Despite the melancholy, they understood how hard-won everything was. It was precisely because of Chen Feng that they had a stable shelter and delicious food. Even though some lost their families, they had already found new partners under the matchmaker’s arrangements.

One cannot always live in the past.

As Order grew stronger, many had already established new families on this land. In a few months, the new generation of Order would be born en masse.

Chen Feng knew that relying solely on the people within Order was far from enough. The apocalypse was a prolonged war, where population was undoubtedly one of the most crucial resources!

Besides, energy had changed everything. Even if the parents weren’t professionals, babies had a high chance of awakening energy innately during gestation to become professionals themselves.

Moreover, even if the babies failed to awaken, being incubated in energy meant they would be physically superior to their predecessors in terms of strength and physique.

Imagine a seven or eight-year-old child lifting a hundred-pound tool—it would be a terrifying sight. Of course, increased physical strength meant increased food consumption. In areas lacking food, newborns could be more of a burden than a blessing, dragging down the power.

Humanity was evolving, and insects and beasts were mutating too. Around Order, under Chen Feng’s iron-fisted reform, insects and beasts had only one fate: become food to satisfy people’s hunger.

But elsewhere, monsters replaced humans, becoming new masters. Humans, much like insects around Order, were sometimes kept in captivity as food for monsters.

Dimensional Creatures had found their footing within a year. Unlike beasts, they possessed keen intelligence, seeing humans not as food but as necessary slaves for building their homes.

Demons and Devils refused to remain mediocre. In some places, a wave of faith began. First, they sent eloquent spies to expand their influence, and once successful, they claimed sacrifices were necessary for divine attention, promising everyone food and clothing and an end to their wandering lives.

Yet, when the survivors offered sacrifices, hoping for divine protection, they unknowingly summoned a demon lurking all along.

Demons left no survivors; they enjoyed killing every living thing, using the blood to open gateways for their companions. Killing equated power—their methods were identical to those in the Abyss, only now their opponents were weaker humans instead of Devils.

Killing all living things was in demons’ nature.

Devils differed. They also killed humans, but only for intimidation; most of the time, they assumed other forms to appear among humans. Just like the Scorpion Demon disguised as a human, they not only enjoyed slaughtering but relished the thrill of conspiracy.

Of course, humans faced more than just these "old friends." As the Dimension Wall gradually shattered, even Evil Gods began projecting their power onto this unfamiliar land.

Evil Gods needed faith.

This meant that upon discovering an unconquered dimension, they behaved like beasts smelling blood, going mad one after another.

Neutral, benevolent, and chaotic Evil Gods weren’t as bad. After all, their deeds were usually harmless—perhaps just intense lust between men and women.

But for some wicked Evil Gods, their descent was a calamity. It was akin to some Dimension Creatures being mere bandits only knowing plundering. In contrast, the power of Evil Gods came with teachings, corroding survivors with faith and turning them into devoted believers.

In a past life, Chen Feng heard rumors about an Evil God, one who favored hunting, descending upon this land, encouraging believers to kill. Blood Sacrifice was the most crucial rite in their sect.

Humans, beasts, insects—all were their targets. For a long time, their presence incited panic among the people.

A year changed many things.

Undoubtedly, new life would replace the predecessors, becoming new masters of this land. Like in the old times, with their growth, a new era was on the horizon.

And the newly descended monsters and Dimensional Creatures would replace the trailblazers, devising ways to kill more humans and... capture more land.
