Chapter 576: Audrey: The Fearsome Enemy of an Angel King

"Hehe, let's go check on our old friend."

"Now, he is so weak that a single breath could blow him away. How amusing."

"Haha, back then, he and the lord of the Mysterious both stayed within the initial barrier conducting various experiments, and in the end, they both played themselves to death."

"He and the lord of the Mysterious must have knowledge about the essence that we are unaware of."

"It's rare to catch him in such a downtrodden state; we must pay him a visit."

"Before he and the lord of the Mysterious fully awaken, our stance might hold significant weight."

After a brief chat, the Mother Tree of Desire, the Supernova Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger headed to the ruins of the Giant King's Court.

The chaotic energy and pollution there were still within their resistance range.

"..."

To their surprise, the God had no intention of meeting them and was hiding within the Sea of Chaos, refusing to show himself.

"God, I know you are in the Sea of Chaos. Do you have the power to awaken but lack the confidence to meet us?" said the Mother Tree of Desire.

The Sea of Chaos beneath the Giant King's Court remained calmly turbulent, emitting an aura that made the Mother Tree of Desire and the others wary of getting too close.

With their current strength, not yet at Sequence 0, they couldn't penetrate the Sea of Chaos.

"Once, you were so arrogant and confident. Now, you don't even have the courage to meet us?"

"Are you afraid I might devour you?"

"We originally intended to help you against Adam and the True Creator out of old friendship, but now that you refuse to show yourself, our stance might lean towards Adam and the True Creator."

Despite their overt and covert taunts and threats, the God Almighty within the Sea of Chaos had no intention of revealing himself.

"Aren't you curious about the lord of the Mysterious?" the Mother Tree of Desire shifted the topic to the Lord of Mysteries.

This time, the turbulent Sea of Chaos calmed slightly, and an ancient, muffled voice emanated from it: "Don't waste your efforts. You have no idea whether the lord of the Mysterious has returned. Otherwise, you wouldn't be wasting time with me here."

The Mother Tree of Desire, the Supernova Dominator, and the Primordial Hunger fell silent.

"And in terms of understanding the lord of the Mysterious, you are far inferior to me. If you want to learn about the essence from me, you would have to bring the lord of the Mysterious here."

"I believe you cannot meet this condition."

"Of course, you could also bring the Stars here. I would prefer to converse with him."

After these words, the Sea of Chaos fell into permanent silence, and the turbulent sea retreated to the depths, leaving only a bottomless abyss.

"After so many years, he and the lord of the Mysterious still make me loathe them," the Supernova Dominator glared at the Sea of Chaos that had retreated to the depths.

"If he doesn't want to see us, let's fill this place up, so he has to stay in the depths forever, accompanied by eternal darkness."

"The Stars seem to want him to balance Adam and the True Creator."

"He can only be effective after Adam and the True Creator attempt to contain the Sea of Chaos. Right now, he is useless."

The Mother Tree of Desire and the Supernova Dominator agreed with the Primordial Hunger's suggestion.

They each exercised their authority, moving mountains and filling the sea, sealing the abyss leading to the Sea of Chaos, making it difficult for the God Almighty to emerge.

After they finished and left, the God Almighty in the Sea of Chaos cursed, "A bunch of bastards, depriving me of the joy of going out to enjoy the scenery. Truly petty."

The God Almighty didn't mind the abyss being sealed. The Sea of Chaos was deeply rooted underground, with plenty of exits to the surface.

...

In the palace of the Byran Empire, South Continent.

Sharon, accompanied by Aisala and Audrey with Susie, was guarding the courtyard outside Hastur's room.

It had been ten days since Hastur suddenly brought them here.

During this time, Hastur came out of the room once, said a few words to reassure them, and then returned to his room to sleep.

Sharon, who had some knowledge of the extraordinary, knew that Hastur had overexerted his spiritual power, leading to both mental and physical exhaustion, requiring sleep to recover.

She didn't know what exactly had happened, but one thing was certain: Hastur had encountered a formidable enemy, which is why he brought her and Audrey to the South Continent, hiding in the palace of the Byran Empire.

He also had his mysterious messenger from the spirit world patrolling constantly, alert to any suspicious enemies.

The silent atmosphere did not affect Aisala and Susie, who firmly believed that Hastur would emerge unscathed.

"Chirp."

A clear call came from the sky above. A small firebird, the size of a palm, flew down and landed on the stone table in the courtyard.

It signaled Sharon and Audrey to look towards Hastur's room.

With a creak, the door opened, and Hastur stretched as he walked out of the room.

He looked a bit tired but otherwise fine.

"Sharon, Audrey, I'm sorry for worrying you these past days."

Hastur smiled apologetically. He didn't want to see Sharon and Audrey worried because of him.

At that time, he didn't want Sharon and Audrey to become Adam's leverage against him, so he brought them to the South Continent, the earthly kingdom of Gregory, his stronghold, and a relatively safe place.

To teach Adam a lesson, he overused the authority of the Star Hall, especially by awakening the consciousness of the God Almighty twice, which drained his spiritual power.

When he returned to the real world from the Star Hall, he could barely hold on to explain a few things to Sharon and Audrey before falling asleep.

If Adam and the True Creator had visited during that time, he would have been in trouble. Gregory wouldn't have been able to fend off Adam and the True Creator, let alone the everNight Goddess watching from the stars.

Fortunately, Adam and the True Creator made no moves during this period.

"Glad you're okay," Sharon said calmly. She glanced at Audrey, who seemed hesitant, and left with Aisala and Susie.

Gregory chirped and flew away.

Unlike Sharon, who adapted well to changes, Audrey had been worried during this time.

"No worries, I'm fine," Hastur said, gently hugging Audrey.

Audrey leaned in his arms for a while before looking up and asking, "Is it over?"

Hastur didn't answer immediately but said, "If you want to return to Backlund, I'll arrange it for you."

"I haven't been to the South Continent before. I'd like to explore the local customs," Audrey said smartly, understanding what Hastur's words implied.

This time, Hastur faced a powerful enemy, which is why he urgently brought her and Sharon to the South Continent.

Adam, the Angel King, was a formidable being second only to the gods. Escaping from him was no easy feat.

Audrey pretended to be relaxed, "Being chased by an Angel King is quite an exciting adventure. You must protect Miss Sharon and me."

Hastur looked at Audrey but didn't mention that Adam had become a god or the existence of the True Creator, who was still an enemy of the everNight Goddess and the Earth Mother.

"Yes, an Angel King is indeed terrifying," Hastur smiled. "I need to focus on ascending to a higher sequence to increase my chances of survival."

He thought to himself, tonight he must go to the Star Hall to continue tracking Adam and the True Creator, shattering their earthly kingdoms to keep them too busy to trouble him.

As for the everNight Goddess, he planned to ally with the Intis Republic to invade and annex the Feneport Kingdom, dismantling all Earth Mother churches, crippling the Earth Mother, and then besieging the Ruen Kingdom.

For now, his main focus was on Adam and the True Creator, targeting the Aurora Order and the Twilight Hermit Order to weaken their influence on the real world.

After thinking for a while, Hastur took Audrey's hand for a walk. When they returned, Audrey pushed him towards Sharon's room.

That night, Hastur went to Sharon's room. Before he could speak, Sharon stopped him with a gesture.

"No need to explain. I trust your decisions," Sharon said, her voice trembling slightly.

Hastur understood Sharon's feelings. For someone as confident as Sharon, being unable to help and just waiting was not a pleasant experience.

"I'm sorry."

Hastur smiled affectionately, gently caressing Sharon's soft cheek.

Human nature is indeed full of weaknesses, but it is also through human nature that one can experience different feelings.

The idea of preserving heavenly principles and eliminating human desires was never the right path.
