Chapter 651: 264. Children of the Starry Abyss (Part 2)

Long Yuqiong’s eyes shone with a deep blue like the sea, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth,

"I can tell someone helped you quite a bit, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to touch a single hair on my head."

"Ah—don’t get cocky, Oshen."

Caramel Snail extended a hand, grabbed Long Yuqiong’s hand, and slowly stood up straight, his back straightened, and a green light flashed in his eyes,

"You were just lucky to be recovered earlier. Next time we meet, you won’t be so fortunate."

"Is that so? Gio Zieou, then I have to say, there’s something suspicious about your relationship with our Executer Leoz, Your Excellency..."

Long Yuqiong nodded while slowly stepping back, drawing his warblade in a reverse grip.

Caramel Snail twirled his blade, held the Shadow Edge upright, pressing his forefinger against the spine of the blade, and began communicating with Long Yuqiong through some private means,

"Is there? I don’t think he’s even figured out our identities."

"You need to be wary of that guy. Be cautious of ’Society,’ but even more so of Leoz," Long Yuqiong warned.

"You’re exaggerating. Isn’t Leoz your superior?" Caramel Snail didn’t think much of it.

"It’s precisely because I know his true nature that I feel afraid."

Long Yuqiong took a deep breath and said,

"Even among us deities Beyond the Abyss, Leoz is the purest. He lacks any trace of humanity or personal concern. I suspect that when Leoz ascended, he made some deals with the Starry Abyss."

"Deals?" Caramel Snail was surprised.

Long Yuqiong nodded,

"Otherwise, how could it be explained that someone born out of Chaos managed to become the Executer commanding all gods on behalf of the creator?"

Caramel Snail shook his head, saying in astonishment,

"Oshen, you’re becoming more human—is it because you were recovered earlier?"

"... I’m not sure."

Long Yuqiong raised the blade in his hand, somewhat confused,

"I originally intended to return to the Pathway of [Sovereign], but my human side chose the path of [Destroyer]. Perhaps it’s not just me affecting this recovered body, but also it affecting me."

"What’s the difference?"

"... Yes, no matter which side, it’s all us."

Long Yuqiong raised his warblade, and blue-purple Qi Energy burst forth.

"Mortals never understand; they have always lived in the gods’ cage, yet they still take pride in their narrative successes."

"You should let them enjoy a few more days."

Caramel Snail sheathed his blade in reverse, taking a Coexist stance, with a mixture of silver and red Qi Energy emanating from his body.

"Narratives and society will eventually kneel at our feet."

Bang! Swoosh! Pa!

Lightning and flames burst out, revealing a faintly holy glow amidst the remains of the Bio-Giant.

"Those mortals, thinking they could truly obtain... they’re wrong!"

Their shadows twisted under the light, and in the shadows, they seemed to be clad in porcelain armor, wearing the crown of supreme sanctity.

"In any dimension, only we are... the rulers from the Star Abyss!"

The next moment, deep blue and silver-red collided.

"Jiaozi... Niu?"

Xia Yubing covered her mouth, her eyes faintly glowed pink,

"Jiaozi... Gio Zieou."

The camera slowly pulled back, sweeping over the audience.

Whether from the colonies or the Mother Star, the audience was plunged into an eerie tranquility at this moment.

They slowly raised their heads, looking forward.

Their eyes lit up with colorful radiance.

"Starry Abyss... calling..."

"Recover, once more, advance."

"Gaia! Gaia!!! I will eat you, peel off your skin and dismember you! Swallow you whole!"

[Welcome back to—’Star Abyss’]

The host at the commentary desk steadied himself, the red in his eyes fading, and he nervously announced the final result,

"The winner is—Long! Yu! Qiong!"

Long Yuqiong stood firmly on the ground, facing the beheaded body of Caramel Snail, raised his fist and struck his chest, then gave a thumbs-up,

"Incredibly brilliant."

"Eh! What a shame... Jiaozi Niu almost won the championship."

"The final showdown was really thrilling. Did you hear their conversation?"

"This is the spirit of e-sports!"

Xia Yubing said nothing.

She quickly climbed over the obstacle, jumped down from the stands, and ran towards the player rooms. When Caramel Snail logged out of the match, Xia Yubing was the first to rush over and hugged Jiaozi Niu tightly.

"Yay! Kiddo!"

Xia Yubing said excitedly,

"Second place! Second place! You did great, you did great! To reach second place in your first match is amazing!"

"Slightly inferior... ah!"

Jiaozi Niu shouted belatedly,

"Fi-Finished?"

He held his forehead, his brain still overheating, not yet coming down from the intense battle of the match.

"Every second, I had to face at least fifteen attacks, various tactical skills and positioning, and information scouting. I couldn’t keep up with the opponent at all..."

"But, you’re the runner-up! Now the whole world, no, the entire universe knows that Jiaozi Niu debuted as the second-place winner, your future is limitless!"

"... Yes." Caramel Snail finally realized, clenching his fist in excitement, "I’m three years younger than Long Yuqiong; I still have many chances to catch up to him!"

"Right?"

Xia Yubing patted his shoulder, smiling cheerfully,

"With such a good performance, does Jiaozi Niu want any rewards? Anything at all—you can have it!"

"Really?"

Caramel Snail’s eyes lit up upon hearing this,

"Really, anything at all?"

"Uh-huh~"

Xia Yubing clasped her hands behind her back, showing a gratified smile,

"Yes, anything. I’ll fulfill your every wish—"

Gulp—

Jiaozi Niu swallowed hard, eyeing the outstanding lady before him, his heartbeat quickening. He opened his mouth, feeling parched, and dryly said,

"In that case... if I ask for something excessive... is that okay?"

"Uh-huh." Xia Yubing puffed out her chest, smiling.

"Then, then I... I want you..."

Jiaozi Niu said nervously and expectantly,

"I want you to buy me a drink machine!"

Xia Yubing’s smile froze.

"I was really thirsty during this match. I could only drink the water provided by the organizers. I really want some cold cola, and if there are fries too, that would be awesome." Jiaozi Niu cautiously asked,

"Is that okay?"

Xia Yubing looked up, revealing a murderous and fierce look in her eyes,

"... Go to hell."
