Chapter 581: Chapter 580: Creations from the Abyss

```

In fact, ever since coming to this world and seeing so many twisted creatures, Fang Zheng had been harboring a suspicion.

It was that the so-called "Ancient Gods" mentioned by the Anan People were none other than Abyssal Creatures.

The reason was simple: in the Black Soul World, Fang Zheng had fought with Abyssal Creatures more than once. Abyssal Creatures’ most notable trait is that they become twisted and ugly after being infected by the Abyss, and their eyes emit a red glow. However, after arriving in Anan, Fang Zheng didn’t initially make that association.

After all, there are so many factors in various worlds that can turn creatures into monsters after infection, like the T-virus and such—you never know what it could be.

But, after battling the transformed creature that used to be Archbishop Amelia in the cathedral, Fang Zheng began to doubt. He indeed smelled the familiar scent of the Abyss on Amelia, albeit much subtler compared to the rich presence of the Abyss in the Black Soul World, so at that time Fang Zheng merely had his suspicions.

Nonetheless, Fang Zheng believed that as long as he found something related to the Ancient Gods, he would definitely be able to prove his conjectures and doubts.

Now, upon seeing the corpse of the Ancient God Kos and the creature that crawled out of Kos’s body, Fang Zheng had no doubts left.

The so-called Ancient Gods were Abyssal Creatures!

These people were practically courting death!

Having confirmed this, when he looked back at the actions of the Healing Church, Fang Zheng could only lament that ignorance truly was bliss. He knew all too well how terrifying the Abyss in the Black Soul World was. Even deities feared that boundless darkness, and even the bravest heroes would turn into creatures that had lost their reason to the erosion of the Abyss.

And yet, these Healing Church folks dared to draw blood from Abyssal Creatures and inject it into their own bodies?

The Abyss itself is the dark existence born of human nature’s sediment, and humans have the Dark Soul, but these people... tsk, tsk, tsk, this isn’t how to court death!

Now Fang Zheng could be certain that the world he had arrived in was indeed the future of the Black Soul World that he had experienced in the instance of the Skill.

After all, the scent of the Abyss was so familiar that, if Fang Zheng closed his eyes, he would even think he had returned to the era of the Black Soul!

"I’m done passing on the flame, and you damned Abyssal bastards still dare to create trouble? Do you really think I don’t exist?!"

"Come on, spawn of the Abyss!"

Fang Zheng suddenly swung his Greatsword, the Eternal Flame reappearing. Feeling the radiance of the flame coming from the Greatsword, the Orphan of Kos couldn’t help but let out a shriek. It glared at Fang Zheng with unmistakable hostility.

"Come on, let’s continue our battle..."

Fang Zheng raised his Greatsword, staring coldly at the Orphan of Kos before him. At this moment, he no longer saw his opponent as a pitiable creature that had been forcibly stripped of its life. Instead, to Fang Zheng, this Orphan of Kos was a part of the Abyssal Monsters, a target that must be annihilated and purified. That’s why he told Maria there was nothing wrong with her actions, and there was nothing wrong with what the Healing Church did. Kos’s death was not a tragedy, and her child was absolutely not a being that should have been born. These beings should be thoroughly destroyed and burned to ash.

Otherwise, once Kos gave birth to her child, there would be one more powerful Abyssal Creature in the world. By then, they might not be content with staying in a small fishing village or curling up around Anan. These evil creations of the Abyss would spread like a plague.

So, as far as Fang Zheng was concerned, the Healing Church hadn’t done anything wrong; if anything, they shouldn’t have chosen to inject the power of the Abyss into their own bodies.

The evil Abyssal Creatures, the evil curse, this nightmare might well be the result of human greed, but for Fang Zheng, the actions of the Healing Church couldn’t be considered all that evil.

Because they drew their swords at their enemies, and not at the deities.

"Boom!!"

The Greatsword, ablaze with fire, slashed through the sky towards the Orphan of Kos, who in turn raised its already stiffened placenta to fight with Fang Zheng.

"Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!!"

```

Perhaps sensing Fang Zheng’s hostility, or simply by instinct as an Abyssal Creature, the Orphan of Kos felt that Fang Zheng before its eyes was its natural enemy. Therefore, it raised its weapon against Fang Zheng, launching a frenzied attack, while Fang Zheng showed no intention of retreating, raising his greatsword to meet the assault head-on.

Their weapons crossed each other, clashing once, twice, and again.

"Boom!!"

Fang Zheng’s sword came down once more, and this time the Orphan of Kos could no longer withstand the force, staggering backwards. But at this moment, it seemed to grow even more insane. The Orphan of Kos opened its mouth towards Fang Zheng and let out a roar! The next instant, Fang Zheng saw countless bolts of thunder manifest before the Orphan of Kos, sweeping across the entire battlefield with a whoosh!

"Waaah!"

The sudden thunder caught Big Chin off guard as well. He had snuck over with the intention of launching a surprise attack and employing his unique skill "The Butt Poke" on the Orphan of Kos, which was unsuspecting. Approaching from behind, Big Chin believed that even if the creature launched an attack, it could only target what was in front of it.

What Big Chin hadn’t expected was that the Orphan of Kos’s thunder attack would be an omni-directional assault. Before he could even extend his sinister right hand towards the Orphan of Kos’s massive rear, he was struck by the lightning and sent a scream trailing behind him as he fell backwards.

By this time, the Orphan of Kos seemed to have noticed the sneaky approach towards its back, abruptly turning and raising its weapon high to smash down upon Big Chin.

"Aaaaah, I’m gonna die, gonna die, gonna die!!"

As the Orphan of Kos launched its attack, Big Chin screamed and rolled to dodge. Just as the creature was about to give chase, Maria reacted, quickly drawing her sword to block its further advance. Although Maria didn’t understand why Fang Zheng was so emphatically assuring her that what they were doing was not evil and wicked, it was clear now that he knew something—perhaps even more than the Healing Church did!

"Clang!!"

Maria blocked the Orphan of Kos’s chase, and simultaneously, Fang Zheng swung his greatsword again, charging toward the creature. He seized the moment Maria distracted the Orphan of Kos, his greatsword whooshing out, piercing the creature’s body from behind with a power infused with flames!

"Aaaaaahhhhh!!!"

Suddenly, endless flames burst from the blade, spreading through the crevices of the creature’s body, and in the blink of an eye, the creature before Fang Zheng was enveloped in flames gushing from his sword and collapsed to the ground, screaming. It soon turned into ash and dissipated into thin air.

"Hmph!"

Watching the creature fall, Fang Zheng snorted coldly. Abyssal monsters were the Farron Undead Legion’s primary target, and having inherited their swordsmanship and will, Fang Zheng naturally assumed this responsibility. Of course, if this was another world, Fang Zheng might have considered other options. But since this was still the Black Soul World, when it came to Abyssal Monsters, there was clearly only one thing for Fang Zheng to do.

But this was not the end.

"Woo... woo woo..."

A strange weeping sound arose, and Fang Zheng looked up to see a black figure, shaped like a shadow, standing motionless beside the body of Kos.

"What is... that?"

Maria, too, widened her eyes in surprise at the sight.

"That is the sediment of humanity, the essence of the Abyss... Luckily, it died within the womb," Fang Zheng said as he approached the shadow. He once again lifted his greatsword high and swung down hard at the figure!

"Huh!!"

The raging fire instantly swept over the black figure, completely engulfing it. Simultaneously, Fang Zheng could feel the whole world trembling at that moment.

The nightmare... was about to vanish.
