Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 1170 1170 : Who am I? Heh...

next chapter in 2 days.

--------

Amidst a suffocating and heavy atmosphere, the red-haired man slowly raised his head. With eyes flickering with confidence and authority, he looked around. The air seemed to grow thick under his pressure, and every trembling gaze in the room fixed upon him. With a steady and powerful voice that echoed in every corner, he spoke as if carrying an ancient magic.

"Heh heh. I am the Primal One, the first Primal One, Dragon Sovereign Jin. The oldest and most powerful Primal One."

The name fell like a heavy stone into the hearts of everyone present, sending ripples through their souls. With a tall and straight posture, the red-haired man stood firm while his crimson hair swayed gently in the breeze, radiating an overbearing arrogance. With every word carrying immense weight, he sounded as if he were hiding endless stories and power behind his speech.

At this moment, the red-haired man known as Jin was not merely introducing himself. He was announcing his return and showing his majesty to this small trial world.

Well...

While he looked exceptionally serious and solemn on the surface, Jin was actually overjoyed inside. As the first Primal One who spent tens of thousands of years as a shut-in guarding the Heart of the World Tree, Jin's hobbies consisted of various games, novels, and movies. Influenced by these entertainment products, Jin had come up with many grand feats he wanted to try personally. For example, playing the weakling to trick others, suppressing his power normally, and then revealing his true strength and identity at the critical moment! He wanted to shock everyone and watch them stare at him with worshiping eyes.

This was one of the main reasons Jin chose to suppress his power after entering the trial space. Now that he had finally heard that crucial question, "Who are you?", he had eagerly jumped into his self-introduction. At the same time, with a terrifying dragon pressure slowly spreading from his body, he let his aura roar toward the crowd to match his majestic words.

Afterward, the first Primal One stood on the podium with his hands on his hips. With an arrogant gaze, he scanned the crowd while waiting for their terrified and shocked screams.

However, while his imagination was beautiful, reality was quite cruel. Facing Jin's arrogant and confident introduction, the entire central council hall of Saint Luo Mary fell into a brief silence. After a moment of confusion, the councilmen huddled in the corners looked at each other. After a quiet pause, their expressions gradually became complicated, shifting from initial surprise to disbelief, and finally turning into blatant disdain. With a strange tension filling the air, everyone seemed to be trying to process this sudden declaration.

Then, a voice suddenly broke the silence. The speaker was the same old councilman who had asked the key question earlier. With a voice devoid of fear or awe, he spoke with a hint of mockery and contempt that instantly spread through the silent hall.

"Who the fuck are you? What the hell is a Dragon Sovereign? Never heard of it!"

These words were like a pebble tossed into a still lake, causing a minor stir. The councilmen couldn't help but start whispering, exchanging surprised or mocking looks. Suddenly, with gazes full of disdain and contempt, they lashed out at Jin like a violent storm.

Wait, what?!

"Eh??"

Seeing this scene and hearing those words, Jin's expression froze. He had originally thought his title would be enough to shock everyone present, but he hadn't expected such a blunt cold shoulder. With the atmosphere becoming awkward, Jin's arrogant aura seemed completely out of place against such a common and direct reaction. At this moment, what should have been an authoritative announcement turned into a subtle and embarrassing piece of theater.

"Ah... this shouldn't be happening..."

With a hand scratching his head, Jin muttered to himself in daze. Even if this was a trial space, it was still within the Source Star Universe, right? How could it be that no one had heard of his name? Had Maya not done any promotion?

Ah, this... this was so fucking embarrassing.

At this moment, with an awkward face, the Dragon Sovereign suddenly felt the urge to dig a hole and crawl into it.

"Ugh... these people are so disrespectful."

Having suffered a massive psychological blow, the Dragon Sovereign curled up behind the podium. With a small stick he found on the ground, he began drawing circles on the floor. While drawing circles, Jin's mind raced as he thought about one problem: how could he break this awkward atmosphere?

However, facts proved that Jin didn't need to think about it. Another aura descended from the sky and smashed the awkwardness to pieces.

Hmm?

"This aura is...?"

With curiosity, Jin slowly stood up and turned his gaze toward the front of the council hall. At the same time, a loud bang shook the area. With a terrifying roar, a bolt of purple lightning flashed over the imperial capital of Wisteria.

Then, under the shocked gazes of the councilmen, the doors of the council hall were kicked open by a powerful force. With shards flying everywhere, the entrance was destroyed. Amidst a terrifying roar, a purple-haired man stepped into the hall like a descending deity of war, surrounded by frightening lightning. With his purple hair glowing under the thunderlight, his eyes flickered with determination and rage.

This man was Pierre, who had rushed here from the Winter Forest in a desperate hurry. With Pierre's arrival, the terrifying aura of Shadow power flooded the council hall. Although they already knew that Saint Luo Mary was protected by the Sword Demon, the councilmen still couldn't help but tremble when they felt this horrifying pressure.

Pierre quickly scanned the scene. Soon, his eyes landed on the unconscious Aya. In an instant, his pupils shrank and his fists clenched as a sense of unease and anger surged in his heart.

"AYAA..."

Although he was quite annoyed by Aya trying to manage him all day and really wanted to teach this arrogant woman a lesson... only he was allowed to teach her a lesson. As for others? They actually dared to bully his woman?

In an instant, with cold fury building on his face, Pierre's gaze shot toward Jin like a sharp arrow. With the terrifying pressure of Shadow power sweeping through the hall, the air became even heavier. With lightning flashing, Pierre suddenly gripped a pale greatsword in his hand. With his chest heaving slightly, he stared coldly at Jin as if he wanted to pierce him with his gaze.

"You piece of shit, did you bully my master?!"

As he spoke, Pierre pointed his sword directly at the space between Jin's eyebrows. At the same time, he signaled the surrounding councilmen to take Aya and leave the scene immediately.

On the other side, Pierre's sudden entrance and the sharp killing intent directed at him didn't make Jin answer immediately. Instead, with a look of pleasant surprise, he observed Pierre's form.

Oh? An Abyssal Demon with intelligence? Is this the Judgment Saint's child?

One had to know that in the Outer Realm, the only beings who truly possessed intelligence were the Abyssal Lords who had obtained an Abyss Seed. Even Lv9 Heavenly Abyss Beasts were mostly monsters that only knew how to destroy and kill, except for a few specific individuals. Yet Yumo's child could have intelligence at Lv8? And after reaching Lv9, he could still maintain his sanity and even try to protect humans?

No wonder Maya values this place so much...

After a brief internal reflection, Jin waved his hand and opened his arms toward Pierre. With a friendly tone, he spoke to the young man.

"Don't worry, I have no hostility toward them. Also, young man, I advise you not to be so impulsive. If you try to attack me, the consequences will be very serious."

"Huh? Why? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Who am I? Heh..."

Hearing this, Jin curled his lips into a proud smile. "Me? I am the Primal One, the first Lv9 created by Mother Eucalol, the one known as the Dragon Sovereign, Jin. I believe you should have heard…"

"Never heard of you," Pierre said without hesitation.

"..."

At this answer, Jin stood frozen in place. He had thought that Yumo's children, who had been in contact with outside information, would know of his great existence. Instead, he received such a blunt "never heard of you." In an instant, with a strong sense of frustration in his heart, Jin's mood plummeted again. With a weak sigh, he slumped down.

Twice in one day, his confident self-introductions had ended in failure.

Sigh. This world is really too unfriendly.
