Chapter 1156 Sometimes, People Need A Little Sugar In Their Life

Somewhere in the Abyssal Planes…

Daniel frowned after failing to contact the subordinates that he had assigned to the 14th Layer of the Abyss.

If not for the fact that he was currently doing something important, he would have gone there to personally check what happened.

"Marchosias, come," Daniel ordered.

A two-meter-tall Black Wolf with the wings of a Griffin and the tail of a snake appeared in front of Daniel.

"Take your Legion with you, and go to the Fourteenth Layer," Daniel commanded. "Regroup with the people I have assigned to watch over the portal. If you don't see them anywhere, send someone to report back to me as soon as possible. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, My Lord," Marchosias replied. "I will go as you command."

The Demigod then left the Sacrificial Altar and rallied his troops that were under his command.

As much as he hated Daniel for forcefully subjugating him, he didn't have a choice but to follow his orders.

Such was the fate of the defeated. Either they obeyed, or they would be killed without mercy.

Marchosias chose to become Daniel's subordinate so that he could keep his life, just like all the other Abyssal Lords whom the Pseudo-God had subjugated.

After his subordinate left, Daniel closed his eyes and meditated. He had vaguely sensed a fluctuation similar to the power of the Pillars of Eternity within the Abyss.

Because of this, he decided to focus his attention on this matter, giving him no time to spare to deal with the disturbance that happened in the 14th Layer.

'There it is again,' Daniel mused as he felt the faint fluctuation of power for the third time. 'It's so faint that I'm unable to pinpoint its location before the signal disappears.'

The signal would come and go every few days, leaving Daniel frustrated.

However, every time he felt the fluctuation, he was able to narrow down where it was coming from.

'Fortunately, it is not located within the first Fifty Layers of the Abyss,' Daniel thought. 'It would have been troublesome if it had appeared on the Thirteenth Layer up to the First Floor. The way to those places is blocked, and I'm unable to pass through them at this time.'

After thinking about these things, he once again sank deep inside his consciousness.

He tuned his senses to their limits and waited for the next time he would sense the fluctuation of power that was similar to the Pillars of Eternity.

Eriol and Max both had anxious looks on their faces as they looked into the scrying mirror that allowed them to see what was happening in the Abyss.

They were aware that Daniel had already sensed the Divine Artifact within Aurora's soul.

Both of them knew that it was only a matter of time before the tyrant succeeded in pinpointing her location and making a move to go get her.

The two Gods had already used up all of their strength in asking for James' help to open the portal that led to Elysium.

Despite being Gods, the only thing they could do was watch and wait as the race to find Aurora started.

"Why are the two of you looking so gloomy?" a little girl wearing little red riding hood attire asked as she walked up to them.

On her head was the Dim Sum God, Dim Dim, and floating beside her was none other than the little Angel of Love, Cupid.

"The three of you are back here again," Max frowned. "We have no time to play with the three of you. Lily, take your little band of troublemakers and scram."

"Hehehe," the little Loli Goddess, Lily, giggled. "Don't be like that, Max. Of course, we are here because we know that you and Eriol are currently powerless to stop us. Isn't that right, Dim Dim, Cupid?"

"Dim Dim!" the Dim Sum God replied.

"Hmph! Now that the two of you are powerless to stop us, we can do whatever we want," Cupid said in an arrogant tone. "Last time, you chased us away, but now, we are going to have some fun."

Eriol glared at the little angel, making Cupid's body stiffen.

He then hid behind Lily and glared back at the God of Games, whose Divinity was at an all-time low.

"Now, now. Don't fight," Lily tried to play mediator. "Do you and Eriol want a Lollipop? Sometimes, people need a little sugar in their life so that they can think properly. Even Gods are not an exception to this rule. Or do you perhaps want some Dim Sum to eat? We can give you that too, right, Dim Dim?"

"Dim Dim!" the Dim Sum God on top of Lily's head nodded.

Max clicked his tongue, but there was indeed nothing he could do in this situation. Just like Eriol, his Divinity was at an all-time low, and it would take him weeks, perhaps even months, to recover even a sliver of his strength.

Because of this, he reluctantly accepted the Lollipop that was given to him by Lily and placed it inside his mouth.

The sweetness cleared his thoughts a bit and even allowed him to recover a little bit of his Divinity, making him feel a little better.

Eriol also placed the Lollipop inside his mouth, receiving the same benefits as Max.

"Dim Dim!" The little Dim Sum God also gave Max and Eriol a platter of Dim Sum, which the two ate without saying anything.

Similar to Lily's Lollipop, both of them gained a little bit of strength back, making them feel better.

Their faces had also regained a bit of their color and were now only slightly paler than normal.

Seeing that the troublemakers were actually helping them recover, Max reluctantly thanked them, making Lily and Dim Dim smile from ear to ear.

"Thank you, Lily, Dim Dim," Eriol said after he finished eating the Dim Sum that Dim Dim had given him. "Now that you're feeling better, tell us what's happening here?" Lily said as he pointed at the scrying mirror. "What is that Old Bandit James doing in the Abyss, and who is that red-headed Half-Elf beside him? Is he William's cousin or something?"

Eriol and Max shared a knowing glance at each other before looking at the three troublemakers in front of them.

If they played their cards right, they might be able to gain the assistance of the three little Gods, who had a lot of free time on their hands.
