#872 - Chapter 872: Atonement and Hunger
“I....”
“I don't know.”
The Fallen Angel Louis said, trembling.
“I, I am a creation of the Lord.”
“According to allegiance, everything I have should belong to the Abyss Overlord.”
“But according to the laws of the Abyss....”
Louis lowered her head, feeling the Abyss Codex in Wu Wei's hand.
“I must also be loyal to you, so I should obey your orders without any resistance.”
“If you were to betray, then the only thing I can do is to kill myself in front of you.”
“This question is inherently a collection of contradictions.”
Hearing Louis say this, Wu Wei smiled.
“No.”
“Your answer is wrong, Louis.”
“There are no contradictory questions in this world.”
“You are just, running away....”
After speaking, Wu Wei approached Louis.
“Kneel.”
Hearing the word kneel, the Fallen Angel Louis immediately knelt before Wu Wei and lowered her head.
Just as she said before, in front of the Abyss Codex, she had no room for resistance.
Not knowing if she had said something wrong, Louis trembled, waiting for Wu Wei's next order.
However, to her surprise, Wu Wei, this Abyss Lord, simply smiled and placed his hand on her head.
Then.....
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, Louis raised her head in astonishment.
Because she observed that above her head, the eternal black and red vortex was now spinning violently.
A huge gravitational force was locking onto her!
“Lord... I...”
But before she could finish speaking, the Fallen Angel Louis, who was firmly locked by the black and red vortex, immediately discovered in surprise that in the center of that vast vortex, a black lightning bolt, carrying endless darkness, was condensing and smashing towards her!
“This... this is...”
In an instant, the Fallen Angel Louis opened her eyes!
That's right.
This Fallen Angel, who had never opened her eyes since birth, opened her eyes for the first time.
“Lord, what have you done?”
Louis looked at Wu Wei's smiling eyes and asked, trembling.
At the same time, on the front of Louis's chest, a divine rune personally created by the Abyss Overlord and bestowed upon the Bekinsale family, the rune representing the sin of Wrath, slowly emerged!
The moment this rune appeared, Louis only felt a sharp pain in her back.
Then, in this pain, a pair of soft wings, as dim as a dark veil, suddenly opened.
And this is the most important symbol of the Fallen Angel.
The black wings representing depravity and sin!
————————
“I?”
“I didn't do anything. I just fulfilled the promise I made to you in the past.”
Wu Wei said with a smile.
“I said before that if you and the Fallen Angel Liz perform well enough and help me seize enough planes, then I will communicate with the Abyss Mother to restore your Fallen Angel status.”
“And you have performed very well.”
“So, I fulfilled my promise!”
Looking at the Fallen Angel Louis, who was so excited that she couldn't add to it, Wu Wei said with a smile.
“Although I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I still have one advantage.”
“That is, I will seriously fulfill any promise I make....”
Speaking of the word promise, Wu Wei paused.
“Even if the cost is my life.”
Hearing this, the Fallen Angel Louis stood up, stepped forward abruptly, and hugged the Abyss Lord in front of her.
This Fallen Angel, who had never thought that she could "redeem her sins", would have this day.
“Lord... I....”
Tears of excitement fell like raindrops.
“Alright, alright.”
Wu Wei stood on tiptoe and patted Louis, who was much taller than him.
“Instead of being grateful for what I have done, you might as well take this opportunity to quickly adapt to your new body.”
“After all, you have regained the same flying ability as Liz, and the most important [Wrathful Vision], haven't you?”
Hearing what her Lord said, Louis smiled through her tears and hurriedly flapped her wings, trying to fly.
It must be said that when Louis, a rare honest person in the Abyss, really regained her Fallen Angel status, the first thing she did was to keep circling in the sky, using her eyes and her wings to enjoy this hard-won freedom.
Below, Wu Wei looked at the cheering Louis, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
However, the disappearance of his smile had nothing to do with Louis.
Because what he was worried about was something else.
“Is it my illusion...”
Wu Wei clenched his hand, looked at the sinful substance that had transformed from the back of his hand, and said expressionlessly.
“Just now, my connection with the Endless Abyss has become even closer.”
“I can feel it.”
“The Endless Abyss is even more thirsty for my soul.”
“It... has become even more hungry because of this!”
