Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 139 - 140: The Prelude to the Plan’s Initiation
"Well then, I apologize for leaving."
"It’s fine, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Confronting the abyssal demon invasion is of the utmost importance. I understand."
"Thank you for your understanding, Archbishop Mokaro."
After expressing his gratitude with a bow,
Xue Tianao’s put on his platinum steel helmet, led a group of dozens of elite royal guards, and hastily left the dining hall, leaving behind Archbishop Mokaro and two other Asumos Church knights.
...
...
A golden light suddenly rippled,
Watching the faint golden light disappear on the horizon, one of the Asumos Church members showed a trace of displeasure. After all, the Archbishop of the Asumos Church was left behind by someone without further ado, which naturally made his subordinates feel dissatisfied, even if there were reasons for it.
"Hehe,"
After a cold laugh, the man named Rasim slowly walked to the side of the blond man,
"Archbishop Mokaro, Xue Tianao’s has left."
"Mm, I know."
Mokaro took a light sip of his morning tea and smiled faintly. He didn’t seem to mind that Xue Tianao’s left quickly without arranging for any further hospitality. After a few sips of tea, he looked meaningfully in the direction Xue Tianao’s had left,
"Hm, the Chosen One, huh..."
Seeing the archbishop talking to himself, Rasim quietly poured him another cup of tea and then asked curiously:
"Archbishop, what do you think of this Chosen One?"
"Mm, he has quite a presence."
Mokaro praised with a smile, without any hint of mockery in his tone,
"Should I say, as expected of the Chosen One? He is powerful, has an outstanding temperament, and his charisma is quite good too. You can tell that the guards in the palace have immense respect for him, probably even more than they have for the emperor. It’s no wonder that the current emperor is so wary of him. However, from what I see, it’s only a matter of time before Xue Tianao’s becomes the emperor of the Snow Night Empire. The old emperor’s faction won’t stand a chance against him. It’s just that..."
"What is it?"
"He is quite confident,"
Mokaro smiled faintly,
However, the smile at this moment carried a chilling undertone compared to before, and the teacup in his hand corroded into a drop of thick white liquid...
"He’s too confident, or rather, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him arrogant. His weapons are indeed very powerful, but to use them to threaten the Asumos Church is just too naive. Moreover, this man is too ambitious."
"Ambitious? He doesn’t seem to have said anything about it, has he?"
"That’s why I said, you’re still too green, Rasim."(green=naïve)
"I’m sorry, Archbishop."
The knight guiltily lowered his head,
"No, you don’t need to apologize. This Chosen One is quite good at acting, and it’s not easy to see through him without some experience. In any case, you just need to know that his intention to meet Mengxi is definitely not a good one. If I’m not wrong, he wants to control our Asumos Church through the girl of destiny. The allied forces he mentioned earlier also serve the same purpose."
"Is that so? Do we still need to cooperate with him?"
"Cooperate? Why not cooperate?"
It seemed as if he had heard something amusing, and Mokaro’s smile grew even brighter, "There’s no problem working with him before we figure out the structure of the magic energy fission bomb and other weapons. Of course, the specifics will depend on the Pope’s instructions."
"I see,"
Rasim nodded with a vague understanding,
"Then, Archbishop, I will notify the ’Dark Moon Sorrow’ troops to go to the southern border of the Snow Night Empire to assist Xue Tianao’s in dealing with the ’Inferno.’"
Saying that, Rasim took out his communication device from his pocket, seemingly preparing to urgently contact the ’Dark Moon Sorrow’ in the northern part of the Red Lotus Leaf Empire.
"Ah, there’s no need for that."
Mokaro slowly raised his hand, stopping Rasim’s action,
"Eh?"
"I’d like to see just how capable this Chosen One, who is rumored to have obtained a portion of the goddess’s power, really is."
"But, but Archbishop!"
"Inferno is known to be an extremely powerful monster among the Demon king-level existences! Can Xue Tianao’s, a seventh-tier, handle it? Moreover, if the Chosen One were to die, what would the consequences be... What would happen to our world?! Should we really not intervene?"
"No need."
Mokaro said indifferently, and sipped his tea with a playful expression,
"Such an uncontrollable Chosen One, if he dies, so be it. It’s not important. As for what will happen to the world, you don’t need to worry about that..."

Meanwhile,
With the help of the rare spatial array,
Xue Tianao’s, fully armed, and several elite members of the Royal Knights, appeared north of the Blooming Flowers military base! With the faint golden Holy aura attached to him, Xue Tianao’s floated in midair, gazing in the direction of the military base in the distance.
For a moment, Xue Tianao’s couldn’t help but squint his eyes,
The royal knights behind him were even more horrified,
At this time,
The continuous mountainous area in front had turned into a sea of fire, a purgatory. Hellfire from the underworld devoured everything around it, the cries of humans, magical beasts, or spirit beasts were endless. The terrifying crimson flames burned life to nothingness and completely swallowed their souls in the boundless sea of fire.
The fire soared into the sky,
The sky had turned crimson,
The scorching heat, mixed with overwhelming oppressive power and eerie howling, surged continuously from the distance, causing the royal knights to tremble uncontrollably. An unprecedented fear emerged in everyone’s eyes.
Faced with this impact, a few knights couldn’t help but look nervously at Xue Tianao’s and advised:
"Your Highness, we... we should wait for the Grand General to come! That’s Inferno! During the Holy War, that Demon king-level being single-handedly defeated three Heavenly Apostles of the Asumos Church! Your Highness, please think thrice!"
"Yes, a Saint-tier challenging a Demon King-tier?! This is really ill-advised!"
"You are the Chosen One! You can’t let anything happen to you!"
...
However,
In the face of his subordinates’ discouragement, Xue Tianao’s just laughed nonchalantly,
He looked confidently at the flame demon standing in the sea of fire, with two pairs of wings, horns on its head, and a body made of flames,
"Don’t worry, Gafi, Toma, Lalo. I have my own way of dealing with it. Just follow my plan."
With that said,
A hint of golden light quickly filled Xue Tianao’s azure eyes, and the pale golden divine power gradually replaced the Holy aura, covering his body! His own momentum even soared at this moment! The powerful sacred aura erupted!
Incredibly, he managed to hold his ground against the incoming scorching airwaves!
Seeing this, the Royal Knights knew they couldn’t persuade Xue Tianao’s any further, so they respectfully bowed,
"Understood, Your Highness. We wish you success in battle."
"Mm, wait for my good news."
After a light response,
Xue Tianao’s suddenly transformed into a golden meteor! With an unstoppable force, he charged towards the boundless sea of fire and purgatory ahead! At this moment, there was no trace of anxiety or solemnity in Xue Tianao’s eyes, only an intense eagerness to try and surging fighting spirit!
’Hehe,’
’Inferno, huh?’
’Such a powerful Demon King-tier is just perfect for me to test my new moves!’
Moreover,
’If I defeat this big guy,’
’I should earn more *’points’ than by conquering those women and rigid knights, right?’
Thinking of this, a greedy grin appeared on Xue Tianao’s face.
’Let me try unlocking two restraints first!’
...
...
On the other hand, watching the golden light, filled with murderous intent, rushing toward herself, the demon of the Flame Catastrophe slowly narrowed its eyes, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief.

’Finally, you’re here,’
’Just as planned.’
’If you didn’t come, I’m afraid I would have to retreat directly, after all, attacking a country’s capital without permission would make Mother angry...’
However,
To be honest,
’Feeling the strong divine power emanating from Xue Tianao’s, Kalina’s inner disgust soared,’
’Really, what a disgusting thing...’
As Kalina’s cold killing intent was released, the sea of fire suddenly boiled!
As Xue Tianao’s flew over the sea of fire, wielding the imperial treasure ’Snow Emperor Sword,’ focusing all his attention on the flame demon, and preparing to launch an attack! An unanticipated crimson pillar of fire suddenly shot up from the ground!
Without deviation,
It struck right between Xue Tianao’s legs...
