Chapter 104: Abyssal Patterns (Part 2)
The order of the Multiverse is collapsing.
Gods are falling one after another from the Divine Kingdom to the mortal realm, while deeper in the Bottomless Abyss, even more terrifying turmoil is brewing, and every time such chaos strikes, it signifies that the Bottomless Abyss will be reshuffled.
The Bottomless Abyss has always been changing.
Its patterns have never stopped evolving, from the defeat of the Obsidian Demon to the rise of the Tanar’ri Demon, from the emergence of the three Lords of the Abyss to the Succubus Queen stepping over the corpse of her former lover, the Demon Prince—Digomorgen. The changes in the Bottomless Abyss are more radical than any other realm; the Hell of Bartok has fostered only a single Archdevil, Bael, over the long centuries, while the Bottomless Abyss has seen a plethora of Demon Lords.
However, recently, the Succubus Queen seems to have found herself in some trouble!
Because several of her previously defeated rivals seem to have escaped, and deep within the Bottomless Abyss, in a place referred to as the “Dark Well,” a powerful Succubus she had imprisoned seems to have mysteriously vanished.
For a long time.
The Succubus Queen has relied on her own nature to act, with Mikanxute’s primary goal being the satisfaction of her desires. All the schemes she has employed revolve around this goal, such as seeking various novel sensations (the Fallen Witch’s pleasure rituals), experiencing unprecedented ecstasy (still in the rituals), or enjoying the ecstatic feelings of humiliating and trampling on enemies she despises, and so forth.
The rise of the Succubus Queen has been marked by numerous plots and wars. She defeated her competitor, Sami-Amor, a manifestation of depravity and lust, through various means when she was still relatively weak, and eventually imprisoned her ex-lover, the Demon Prince—Digomorgen—in the Dark Well.
Thus.
At her weakest moment, the Succubus Queen clung to the thigh of the Demon Prince—Digomorgen, successfully eliminating many threats.
However, Mikanxute did not become complacent. She is well aware that her strength is insufficient to contend with other Demon Lords, so she has continuously utilized schemes and her beauty to achieve her goals and gain more powerful strength.
The Succubus Queen has many enemies.
The King of Werewolves is one of them, but her more formidable adversary is still one of the three Lords of the Bottomless Abyss, known as the “Lord of Dusk”—Graz’zt.
After the Succubus Queen rejected his advances, the Lord of Dusk, feeling his pride wounded, launched an attack on Mikanxute’s territory, and she had to exert all her effort to fend off the assault. After this attack, the two Demon Lords fell into a cold war, sending throngs of subordinates to sabotage each other’s realms.
Thus, out of hatred, a most bizarre event occurred in the Bottomless Abyss!
The Lord of Dusk, in retaliation for the Succubus Queen rejecting his advances, actually transformed himself into her likeness to seduce one of the ugliest Tanar’ri Lords in the Bottomless Abyss—Koshchei. The result of this “seduction” left the Succubus Queen deeply shamed, as many still firmly believe that the one who surrendered to Koshchei’s rugged charm was not the “Lord of Dusk” in disguise.
Let’s pause here.
First, the “Lord of Dusk” is a male demon and one of the most powerful Demon Lords in the Bottomless Abyss, controlling multiple dimensional spaces as one of the three Lords of the Abyss. Then, out of revenge for the Succubus Queen rejecting his advances, he transformed into the likeness of the Succubus Queen (turned female) and personally attempted to seduce one of the ugliest Demon Lords in the Bottomless Abyss, engaging in many unspeakable acts that cannot be described in words.
In the end, he considered this event to be a grand conspiracy against the Succubus Queen!
Incredible.
When Soren first learned about this, he was at a loss for words to describe this Demon Lord, only to conclude that the emergence of such a peculiarity in the chaotic faction makes sense. It is simply unimaginable what thoughts the “Lord of Dusk” had at that moment when facing the charge of the ugliest Demon Lord in the Bottomless Abyss.
Well.
Let’s skip this matter for now.
The Succubus Queen’s hatred for the Lord of Dusk grew stronger, but the next event forced her to divert her attention elsewhere.
It was exactly because of this event that she began her strong rise in the Bottomless Abyss!
The most powerful Demon Lord in the Bottomless Abyss is undoubtedly the Demon Prince—Digomorgen. A terrible beast that looks like a baboon with two heads.
He is the Succubus Queen’s most powerful lover!
For a long time, Digomorgen has been consuming strength in his struggle against himself. Because of his two heads, one mad and the other rational.
Both heads are convinced that the disappearance of one will not lead to his death, and will only make Digomorgen stronger!
They have fought for countless years.
Unfortunately, most of their attempts have failed. However, in the end, he devised an incredibly mad plan.
The Succubus Queen possesses numerous lovers; her close relationships with other Demon Lords often serve one purpose—to fulfill her insatiable desires.
Her lovers include the Wind Demon King—Pazuzu (together they bore many powerful Succubus offspring, including that mysteriously enigmatic ruler draped in red shrouds), Masterfield (the Hunter King, lord of the Iron Fortress of Faerun in the first layer of the Bottomless Abyss, Pazunia), and Sorkos-Benos (an embodiment of incest and forbidden sexuality, lusting after the Lord of Dusk’s throne, having formed an alliance with Mikanxute for this purpose, and ultimately dying at the hands of the Succubus Queen, part of her current divine professions stems from him).
The Succubus Queen’s greatest “trophy” is undoubtedly Digomorgen.
The nameless and sordid offspring between them should never be mentioned again; with the intimate relationship with the Demon Prince, Mikanxute doesn’t need to worry about her safety, for no one dares to risk offending the most powerful demon in the Bottomless Abyss to attack Mikanxute!
The cataclysmic change in the Bottomless Abyss occurs here.
One day, the Succubus Queen suddenly noticed that Digomorgen had a new development, a movement that no one else had the chance to notice.
She learned that Digomorgen planned to absorb an unprecedented amount of energy from the Material Plane, an unimaginable power that terrified even the Succubus Queen.
Thus, to protect herself, she secretly betrayed her ugly and terrifying lover!
Mikanxute secretly manipulated a team of heroes from the Material Plane to sabotage the Demon Prince’s plan. The success of this endeavor, coupled with a bit of luck, directly led to the powerful rise of the Succubus Queen.
Digomorgen had many crazy plans!
He even once planned to drag a place called “Island of Fear” directly into the Bottomless Abyss, transforming it into a space under his control.
Chaos easily breeds madness.
Digomorgen’s destruction was entirely the result of his own downfall, while the rise of the Succubus Queen relied on her various scheming methods.
The Succubus Queen possesses numerous enemies; as a Demon Lord, she has always had the habit of personally patrolling her territory, a habit common among all powerful demons. During one such patrol, the Succubus Queen encountered many incorporeal demons known as the Lomara. On one patrol, she discovered a Lomara Lord in a sleeping state. Mikanxute managed to imprison the slumbering Demon Lord within a gem of mysterious power.
For a long time.
This gem remained buried beneath the Succubus Queen’s palace until one day, she finally found the perfect method to extract its power.
She is no ordinary demon.
In fact, absorbing a Demon Lord’s power is not difficult for her, as Succubi always have ways to extract something. What Mikanxute seeks is a perfect absorption method, one that not only completely absorbs the other’s strength but also does not affect her most valued traits—her stunning beauty and vigorous sexual desires.
The changes in the Bottomless Abyss began here.
Over the long years, Digomorgen’s two heads made countless plans and attempts to gain full dominion, but all efforts ended in failure.
Until one day, after a moment of mad release, his immense and savage energy completely destroyed an empire located within the realm of the Island of Fear. It was this event that led to one of Digomorgen’s heads developing a mad plan, and after being frozen for nearly a thousand years, it now intends to begin implementing this plan.
Digomorgen plans to draw an unprecedented amount of energy from the Material Plane.
If the plan succeeds, Digomorgen will use this immense energy to merge his dual personalities into a unified whole. Upon completing this grand objective, there is no doubt that Digomorgen will cease to be merely the “Demon Prince”; he will become the “Demon King”!
This plan is perfect.
Although one of Digomorgen’s heads is quite mad, the other is very rational.
No Demon Lord knows about his plan, except for the closest Succubus Queen, who, terrified by this horrible and insane scheme, feels compelled to secretly manipulate some heroes to sabotage it.
Everything changed because of this!
Digomorgen fell because of his mad plan. Terrifying energy even exploded in certain layers of the Bottomless Abyss.
The Succubus Queen became the biggest beneficiary.
It can be said that her current rise is entirely due to this incident. It is because of this event she replaced Digomorgen as one of the giants of the Bottomless Abyss, plotting to kill many of her rivals and lovers, even the “Lord of Dusk” was once secretly ‘killed’ by her, though he resurrected quickly since he didn’t die completely. Ultimately, the Succubus Queen reached into the realm of the deities.
However.
With the eruption of the Saint’s Cataclysm, the Succubus Queen seems to be in a bit of trouble.
Because some of her enemies whom she had defeated and imprisoned seem to have escaped, and a powerful soul she has long restrained also suddenly broke free from its seal.
These are very dangerous enemies!
The Succubus Queen senses a deep sense of crisis, especially since she already has enough enemies, and the sudden outbreak of the energy storm is increasingly affecting her.
Thus, she feels she must come up with a way to deal with it all, preferably to catch all these enemies in one sweep!
………………
Bottomless Abyss, Land of Forgotten.
Accompanied by a spark of Spell Light, Soren’s figure returned to his turf once again. This time, the “Summon Demon” lasted a very short time, hardly enough for him to explore many places in the Eastern Kingdom.
The Eastern Kingdom is the place with the most preserved ruins, though the risks involved could be hard for even the gods to avoid.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Just the day after Soren returned from the Material Plane, a Ygoroth who had just returned from the first layer of the Bottomless Abyss brought him some astonishing news.
The Succubus Legion had withdrawn from the Blood War!
Rumors say that the Succubus Queen mysteriously disappeared in her palace, leaving no trace behind, and the Succubus Legion is now in chaos, with many Radiant Nuns eyeing the Succubus Queen’s throne hungrily; however, it is still uncertain what the Succubus Queen’s actual situation is, and no one dares to act rashly.
Some suspect that this is related to the recent events of gods mysteriously disappearing one after another, stirring an uproar throughout the entire Bottomless Abyss.
………………
(PS: Let’s leave the storyline about the Succubus Queen at this point. This provides a brief outline of the overall foundation; this plot line has been pushed forward quite a bit, but there are still some important events that will be mentioned.) (To be continued ~^~)
