Chapter 255: Reaching The Village
Chapter 255: Reaching The Village
—–
Abyss and company had managed to escape the chase from the frog in exchange for the Achlys, the gift that Chaos had given to Abyss, to be shattered apart.
The immense power of the frog couldn’t be easily compared to anything. The difference between an entity whose power was comparable to even Supreme Gods was immense compared to a God like them. Although such differences were not so big between Living Deities, Demigods, and even Gods to an extent, when it came to Great Gods and Supreme Gods, the gap in power grew immensely, to the point that it became near impossible to defeat someone of an higher Realm.
This was the reason behind how hopelessly powerful this frog was, they couldn’t do anything else than buy time and escape, even the spear itself, after going completely all out, only ended stopping it for a few seconds, helping Abyss swim underwater and reach a safe place far away from the frog after a few hours of swimming.
Thanks to her ability as a Shoggoth such as Anaerobic Body, she was able to adapt to the vacuum of space and also the underwater pressure with ease, without needing to breathe any sort of oxygen or any gases at all, she was able to survive in the vacuum of space with ease, so it was rather obvious she would be able to survive anywhere else.
Using this ability she easily swam for hours without stopping nor growing tired, everyone was inside of her as she had shaped herself like a bubble and ended becoming their official vessel.
Many recalled the Red Star, but it was drowned when the frog emerged the first time, so they didn’t know what to do about that one. The only one that could communicate with it was Chaos and Chaos wasn’t here, sadly, so they didn’t knew what might had happened to it other than it was down in the water…
Perhaps it could help them out, but it seemed mostly passive when Chaos wasn’t giving it orders, despite being a living being of its own.
SPLASH!
After almost a whole day of swimming, Abyss, making sure nobody was following her, emerged in the surface of the water, right in front of land, real land made of dirt, which was actually a big island in the middle of these massive swamp-like oceans that covered the planet.
She rolled over the land and finally opened her entire bubble-shaped body, letting everyone finally take a fresh breath of air…
“Phew… That was rough.” Sighed Yuki.
“Indeed, we almost didn’t made it.” sighed Boxxy.
“But… Abyss gift that she got from Chaos… It’s gone…” sighed Rot. The zombie dragon had already adapted quite well to everyone else and was able to talk more eloquently too.
“Well, that doesn’t matter, really! I am pretty fine by how things turned out to be, don’t worry about it… I-I will just ask Chaos to make another one!” said Abyss. She was actually quite depressed deep down, but put on a spirited and energetic personality so the others wouldn’t feel even more down.
“Ahh… Well, now that we are finally here, we should quickly find the kid’s village, we can learn more about the frog there.” Said Ifrit, gasping for air.
“Y-Yeah, I wonder if Chaos and Aruliel are handling fine inside a stomach… We better hurry.” Said Lilith.
The kids, Armonia and Ermenia had just woken up, the beautiful twins looked around the scenery happily to finally be on land once more.
“Ah… Phew, we are finally back…” sighed Armonia.
“Yeah- Ah! There! That butt-shaped tree, it leads to the village!” said Ermenia, pointing at an odd-looking tree that was actually rather butt-shaped…
“Oh wow… it really is butt-shaped…” said Yuki.
“Indeed! Look at the curves… I can’t believe my eyes.” Said Boxxy.
“You two stop goofing around! Let’s get to it, Abyss.” Said Belphegor.
“Yes, let’s go, bring us there, please..:” sighed Abyss.
“S-Sure miss!” said Armonia.
“Cheer up! Nesephise will welcome you on our house, and we can all eat some grilled fish too!” said Ermenia.
The kids adorableness healed a bit of the exhaustion and the stress everyone was going through, as they moved forward to their destination…
…
Meanwhile, amidst the invasion of the three Gods in the small Saphibian Village, a little boy tried to fight for his father who was being tortured by a small demon woman.
“L-Let papa go!” cried a little boy, rushing towards the chief, his father…
“Hm~? Ah, children! You’ve got a kid, you filthy swamp pig? How about I teach him to never defy the gods?” asked Laura, as the boy tried to help his father.
“P-Please let papa go! He didn’t do anything bad!” he cried.
“Oh, but he sure did, boy… he did something very bad. And that was raising his voice against us. And you did the same. You know what’s next~ Ufufufu…” laughed Laura, her eyes glowed with bright red light as her small demonic body seemed like the incarnation of evil itself before the boy. He had never seen such an antagonistic figure on his entire life.
He had always thought that it was mere fantasy for people to actually be this horribly evil, and that such things were only in tales, that everyone had some decency deep down like the people on the tribe, even the bullies had some decency deep down, even the most grumpy of grandpas was gentle deep down and wouldn’t go that far… but he suddenly realized that yes, indeed, there were horrendous and rotten people in the world, and to his unluckiness, these ones were Gods.
Laura looked down at him with a malicious smile, showing her sharp teeth as her eyes glowed brightly, she suddenly moved incredibly fast, grabbing the kid’s neck and raising him into the air.
“You little ant, want to die so badly?” she asked.
“Agghh…! Unnggh…”
The kid began to asphyxiate, as Laura smiled to his suffering.
“S-Stop!”
However, a dazzling woman tried to stop them this time.
