Chapter 349: CHAPTER 348
When they heard Oliver's story, Andrew and the others were pale with fright, because they couldn't believe how dangerous the abyssals were. Oliver, serving as general of the army of the kingdom of Numa, had access to information that ordinary people did not have, so he knew everything that was known about the abysmal.
For this reason, his words carried so much weight. Most people knew of the existence and danger of the abysmal, but everything was based on legends passed down from generation to generation. However, Oliver had been able to read the historical accounts of the battle against them that the kingdom of Numa had in its moment.
It was one thing to know that the abysmals are dangerous and another to see historical data of what really happened. Andrew and the others had serious expressions, as the appearance of the abyssals was a matter of discovering whether they would survive or not.
Although Andrew had just ascended to the rank of expert, he was still weak among the powerful of the continent, and if he compared himself against the abyssal, he was even weaker, so a sense of crisis erupted within him.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was silent trying to assimilate what Oliver had said, Fluffy spoke in Andrew's mind, "Master, these abyssals could be creatures created by a fallen god."
Andrew was surprised by these words and immediately asked, "What do you mean?", to which Fluffy replied, "I can't be sure, but according to Oliver's description, it seems to be the case."
Fluffy paused and continued explaining without waiting for Andrew to ask, "As I had told you before, the fallen gods are those who fell into depravity and let their divine domain take over."
Andrew didn't say anything, just nodded his head slightly, as if to let him know that he remembered that, and Fluffy continued, "The point is, as they are corrupted by their domains, their blessings are also corrupted, so creatures like abyssal are created".
Fluffy paused again and continued saying, "The fallen gods still possess divinity, only it is corrupted and generates mutations. According to Oliver's description, it seems that these abyssals are beings corrupted by a fallen god."
After that, Fluffy remained silent, as if waiting for Andrew to ask his questions, and he was not wrong, because Andrew immediately began to ask, "When you told me about the fallen gods, you also said that they are the enemies of the gods, so therefore, they always try to eliminate them, how did this one survive?"
"Well, I can't say for sure yet that these abysmal are the creation of a fallen god, but if they are, there are many ways to escape the surveillance of the gods," Fluffy replied and Andrew couldn't help himself, and asked again, " As which?".
"Well, like this world. I had already told the master that this world is not guarded by any god, as it will be yours when you ascend, so it is not difficult for a fallen god to hide on planets like this that are not guarded", Fluffy replied.
He did not wait for Andrew to ask and continued, "Although it may not seem like it, the fallen gods are not few, and depending on their domain, the gods have elimination priorities. For example, if it is a fallen god whose domain is battle or magic, it would be immediately subjugated, but if it is a god with domain over love, eros, or something similar, they will not be given as much priority.
"You mean that if the one who creates these abyssals is a fallen god, it is unlikely that he or she is a god of combat or with great strength, do I understand correctly?" asked Andrew and Fluffy replied, "It is very likely, however… ".
"However, what?" Andrew asked again and Fluffy, a little worried, replied, "However, he or she is still a god. In short, he or she was a full-fledged god with divinity intact, so even if he or she is not a battle god, he or she will be much more powerful than you."
Andrew understood what Fluffy meant and it worried him. Until now, he was worried about surviving and ascending, but now if there was a fallen god, ascension would be 1,000 times more complicated.
Not wanting to keep this information to himself, he immediately told it to Oliver and the others, which surprised them even more than Oliver's talk, because before they knew that the abyssals were dangerous, but now that they knew that they could be the creations of a god, the feeling of crisis increased.
"Fluffy, I'm not a full-fledged god yet and I'm sure I won't be one anytime soon. Isn't it possible to warn the gods about this?" Andrew asked hopefully, but Fluffy threw a bucket of cold water at him, "That's impossible."
"From the moment the master was assigned to this world, everything about this world belongs to you, even if you have not ascended, so the gods will not even look at this planet," said Fluffy.
"What do you think I should do?" Andrew asked and added, "Not only am I, not a god yet, but even if I were, battle is not my strength. How can I survive?" to which Fluffy replied, "The master, underestimates himself too much."
Fluffy pouted and added, "Certainly, your battle power is not strong, but your dominance allows others to become stronger. In short, you are a powerful support god. My recommendation is to increase the strength of your guardians."
"How do I do that?" Andrew continued to ask and Fluffy replied, "The master must get stronger. Look for rarer or special beauties and have your guardians do the same."
Hearing the Fluffy proposal, Andrew couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows, because he was against this method. He is indeed a candidate for god Eros and he should no longer feel strongly about using sex to strengthen himself, but he still retained some of the mentality from his previous life.
Andrew had accepted the fact that he could have many women, but he was still reluctant to pursue them just to strengthen himself. Fluffy who could read his thoughts, understood Andrew's mentality so he immediately said, "Master, I didn't tell you to look for women left and right. What I propose is to look for quality, not quantity."
Although Andrew was still reluctant, he understood Fluffy's words. However, for the moment, he wouldn't worry about that. He was aware that the abyssals would not attack immediately, so he still had time.
According to the rumors that circulated, the abyssals were powerful, but not numerous, and although this was not verified, the fact that the abyssals were still confined to the lost continent was sufficient proof that they did not yet have the strength to face the continent.
Since Andrew was able to come to this conclusion, it was obvious that the others knew this as well. Especially the leaders of the great world powers and they were the ones who would make the first move.
Just as Andrew had thought, the leaders of the continent were planning how to attack the abyssals before they gathered their forces. They didn't know how the information had been leaked, but what they had to do didn't change.
Although these leaders wanted to eliminate the abysmals as soon as possible, none of them would take the vanguard, as they would be the most harmed by doing so. For this reason, a meeting of all the leaders of the continent was held.
Unlike the one carried out in Vacilea, this time, the different races also participated, since the appearance of the abysmals worried not only humans but all the inhabitants of the continent.
This meeting would take place within a week in the Northern Elven Empire, as it was one of the most powerful countries on the continent. Its strength surpassed for a mile the strength of the Cannaris empire and that was already a great demonstration of its power since the Cannaris empire is one of the three great human empires.
Since the news of the abyssals had spread, word of the meeting between world leaders also spread. Not because people had researched it, but because world leaders themselves had spread the word.
They wanted to calm the inhabitants of the continent as if to say, "The whole continent will fight, so there is nothing to fear." In some ways, this reassured the masses, but the smart ones knew there was no safety.
They were few, but some people and organizations knew that in the war more than 1,000 years ago the entire lost continent was destroyed and at that time the power of its inhabitants was greater than today, so they were worried.
Andrew also took action. Although he was against Fluffy's proposal, he couldn't ignore it, so he prepared to expand. If he wanted to search for rare and special beauties, he needed to know the world, so he began to prepare to open Heavenly Palaces throughout the continent.
Andrew especially wanted to go to the countries of other races, because he knew that he would get better benefits from other races. Although racism was minimal in this world, it was true that not all races got along well.
A perfect example was elves and demons, as well as winged ones and demons. Demons are the second largest race behind humans and have many ethnicities, such as orcs, ogres, goblins, and similar.
Because of this, demons had many ethnicities with grotesque appearances that clashed with races such as elves and winged ones, which are considered the most advanced, cultured, and beautiful races of all.
Even so, faced with the threat of the abysmals, these differences were put aside. They knew what the priorities were and could not engage in petty disputes when their very existence was in danger.
What the inhabitants of the continent did not know was that while they were preparing to deal with the abysmals, the abysmals were not standing still and also gathered to prepare for war.
