"Thank you, Owen!"
Rachel's cheeks flushed slightly at Owen's gentle smile.
She knew that Owen was different from the rigid image she had initially ford in her mind- he was a gentle person. But she hadn't realized how much he genuinely supported her.
Perhaps staying in Owen's small world was the greatest redemption of her life.
Beside Rachel, Seraphina, who had been wagging her tail so vigorously that it almost left afterimages, looked up at Owen with teary eyes, full of longing.
Sensing Seraphina's emotions, Owen gave a guilty smile, quickly reaching out to stroke its head and feeding it so pre-stored mana cores. Only then did Seraphina, now full of energy, snuggle up to Owen affectionately.
During this ti, Seraphina's size had also grown significantly, and its aura was becoming more profound and mysterious.
With its current bloodline, it was only a matter of ti before it reached the god-tier!
After playing with Seraphina for a bit, Owen looked over at Rachel, and with a flick of his finger, sent a mory light orb to her.
"The World Tree is important, but you don't have to stay confined to this small world forever. This is the thod to leave and re-enter this world as you wish."
Rachel shook her head. "I like being here. If you ever get bored, you can co find . As long as I have you and the World Tree for company, I'm more than content."
"Then why don't you show around this newly transford world?"
Owen didn't want Rachel to beco a hermit who only knew how to tend to her trees, so he spoke with a smile.
Hearing his words, Rachel happily began introducing Owen to all the changes in the small world, detailing every blade of grass and every tree.
The more she talked, the more joyful she beca. Before she knew it, she had wrapped her arms around Owen's, leading him through the world with a sweet smile replacing her usually cold, beautiful expression.
After familiarizing himself with the changes in the small world, Owen left, feeling much more confident about venturing into a dangerous place like the Demon Abyss.
Soon after Owen erged, the Archdemon appeared in the bridal chamber, smiling brightly.
"Pack up, we're ready to depart. Those old geezers were so excited about restoring the Godslayer Staff that they were even more worked up than I was. Not only did they agree to let accompany you, but they also handed over the Hellfire Warship to my command!"
Owen nodded and patted Madelyn, who was still engrossed in the Demon Abyss research, on the shoulder. After gathering so food and various potions, they quickly made their preparations to leave.
...
Boom!
Within the Demon Sky Citadel, a sudden, earth-shattering roar echoed through the city, as if the entire world was crumbling.
All the beings in the Demon Realm who were going about their business turned their heads in shock.
"It sounds like the Hellfire Warship has been activated! I heard this noise centuries ago." "Are you sure? The Hellfire Warship is a super battleship capable of withstanding God King- level attacks. It would never be mobilized unless the situation was critical!"
As discussions spread among the Demon Realm's inhabitants, a massive black entity, like an enormous cloud, lood over the entirety of the Demon Sky Citadel.
The Hellfire Warship!
The beings of the Demon Realm looked up, and when they saw the black, bone-like warship above them, their hearts were filled with dread.
"It really is the Hellfire Warship. What could have happened to warrant its sudden mobilization?"
"I heard the Demon King and Archdemon are planning to breach the Demon Abyss and conquer the most notorious Forbidden Zone in the Demon Realm!"
"What?! The Demon Abyss is a barren land where countless god-tier mages have t their doom!"
"Although it's dangerous, the Demon King and Archdemon aren't ordinary people. If they can return safely, it would be a monuntal achievent for the Demon Realm!"
"Yes, it's said that many heavenly treasures and ancient legacies are hidden within. If they can break through the Demon Abyss, they'll be the greatest heroes of our ti!"
After learning the purpose of Owen and the Archdemon's journey, many of the Demon Realm's residents were filled with deep admiration and awe.
After all, for countless eras, many of the Demon Realm's great figures had attempted to conquer the Demon Abyss, only to be devoured by it in the end.
Because of this, the beings of the Demon Realm harbored a deep-seated fear of the Demon Abyss. The idea of conquering it rarely crossed their minds-they didn't even have the
courage to approach it.
Now that the Archdemon and the Demon King were joining forces, regardless of the outco, they were worthy of being rembered as heroes of the Demon Realm.
"Wishing the Demon King and the Archdemon a triumphant return!"
In the vast crowd of Demon Realm beings, soone shouted. Instantly, countless demons joined in, their voices rising in a deafening chorus:
"Triumphant return!"
"Triumphant return!"
The sound rged into a powerful roar, piercing the sky.
Even aboard the warship, Owen and the Archdemon could hear it clearly.
"The Demon Abyss, hailed as the last Forbidden Zone of the Demon Realm. If you can bring my sister back, your reputation in the Demon Realm will be strong enough to make you the true Demon King, ruling over the land!"
Watching the cheers of the Demon Realm beings below, the Archdemon felt a surge of
emotion.
After all, the Demon Abyss was fraught with danger even for her.
Owen didn't fall for her toxic encouragent. He simply sorted through the information about the Demon Abyss in his mind.
Boom!
After the Hellfire Warship launched, its speed increased dramatically. It transford into a streak of black light, tearing through the void and flying over the Demon Realm at an
astonishing speed, causing widespread shock wherever it passed.
After traveling at high speed for half a day, Owen, standing at the bow of the ship, suddenly narrowed his eyes as he saw a vast and seemingly endless abyssal entrance in the distance.
The Demon Abyss was in sight!
The massive abyss was pitch-black, as if it devoured all light. When Owen attempted to extend his mind power to probe it, he was imdiately t with strange, drifting mists that acted like impenetrable walls, making it difficult for his senses to go any deeper.
"The deeper you go, the thicker the demonic mist becos. Even with my current level, I can only probe within a hundred-ter radius around ."
Sensing Owen's attempt to explore the Demon Abyss with his mind power, the Archdemon shook her head slightly, a rare look of solemnity in her eyes.
She then maneuvered the Hellfire Warship to descend rapidly into the abyss.
The warship, massive as a fortress, was dwarfed by the imnse black maw of the Demon Abyss, appearing as insignificant as a speck of dust.
The Demon Abyss seed capable of devouring everything in existence. Just staring into it made one's scalp tingle, filling the heart with an overwhelming sense of dread.
As the Hellfire Warship continued to descend, the light around Owen grew dimr, as if they were entering a world devoid of light.
At the sa ti, it seed as though many eerie creatures dwelled within the Abyss,
rustling in the darkness.
Owen focused, and the Spear of Longinus emitted a blood-red glow, barely piercing through the fog and darkness, revealing strange, shadowy figures.
So looked human, others like Demon Realm creatures, but each had vines growing from
their bodies, forming wings as they moved like zombies, hurtling toward the warship.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Hellfire Warship, as solid as a mountain, remained unmoved, while the eerie creatures were shattered by the powerful recoil, blown into pieces.
Yet even in pieces, the scattered flesh sprouted vines and hurriedly fled.
"These are beings that ventured into the Demon Abyss and were killed by the Immortal
Devilvine. After death, they beca the Devilvine's puppets. Although they're not very
strong, they're extrely hard to kill completely."
"Many mages who entered the Abyss never even made it to the true entrance before being
wiped out."
The Archdemon spoke slowly, a hint of concern flickering in her eyes.
Owen was beginning to grasp the true terror of the Demon Abyss. They had encountered
constant assaults just at the entrance.
What dangers would they face once they delved deeper?
Fortunately, with the Hellfire Warship's protection, they continued their descent without needing to pay attention to these puppets.
This descent lasted for an entire hour before the Hellfire Warship finally reached the bottom
of the Abyss.
"A depth of one hundred thousand ters... Truly deserving of the na, Demon Abyss!"
Owen squinted. At this depth, they were nearly at the core of the earth. He could see molten magma flowing along the surrounding rock walls, radiating scorching heat and blinding light. And in this region of lava, the ground and rock walls were covered in black-red, tentacle-like
vines.
"Immortal Devilvine!"
