Abyssal Chronicles

I owe you a heartfelt apology for my prolonged absence. The weight of exams and finals demanded every ounce of my focus, especially as I've been navigating some personal health challenges. It wasn't an easy choice to step away, but it was necessary.

Now, by God's grace, that season has passed. With renewed energy and gratitude, I'm eager to reconnect and return to sharing daily updates. Thank you for your patience and understanding—it means more than words can express.

….

"Hmph! When Mom gets back, I'm definitely going to teach her a lesson!"

Pierre said with his cheeks puffed in anger.

"Mom is just too complacent, that's why she's so reckless. Don't worry, Yuan'er! After your big brother disciplines her, Mom won't dare act up anymore!"

As he spoke, Pierre put his hands on his hips, looking every bit the imposing figure.

The sight left Yuan'er below him and Shuoyue, who had just floated over, with slightly dazed expressions.

"Big brother, are you planning a rebellion?"

Staring at the boastful Pierre, Shuoyue asked with an astonished face.

However, Faced with his sister's somewhat doubtful gaze, Pierre, who was determined to show off in front of his sisters, naturally remained stubborn. Raising his head proudly and smirking smugly, Pierre said with complete confidence.

"Hmph, we've all grown up, haven't we? We must have the courage to resist Mom's 'tyranny'! Since Mom did something wrong, as her children, we also have the duty to educate her!"

"Hoh~~"

Hearing this, Yuan'er and Shuoyue exchanged glances, then looked at Pierre with shocked and admiring eyes.

The next moment, Under Pierre's smug gaze, Yuan'er and Shuoyue eagerly applauded.

"Hehe~"

Feeling his sisters' admiring gazes, Pierre was thoroughly pleased.

Looking at little Yuan'er, Pierre couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl upward.

After all, Initially, because of the lollipop-snatching incident, Yuan'er had always been prejudiced against him. Now that she had finally opened her heart and showed her brother an admiring gaze, Pierre naturally felt extremely satisfied.

Looking at Shuoyue, Pierre's smile widened further.

Looking at the continuously applauding Limo, Pierre smiled even more brightly;

Looking at Liyu who was giving him a thumbs up, Pierre's smugness rose even further;

Looking at Youlan whose eyes were full of admiration, Pierre became even more complacent;

...

However, As he was smiling, Pierre suddenly noticed something amiss.

Huh?

Wait a minute??

Limo? Liyu? Youlan sister??

Eh?!!

His smile froze in place as Pierre looked in disbelief at the three who had appeared nearby without him noticing.

"Youlan?!! Limo?! Liyu?!! When, when, when did you get back?!! Weren't you missing with Mom?!! W-why are you suddenly appearing here?"

At this, Liyu continued applauding while smiling meaningfully.

"Dear brother, take a guess?"

"Huh?!!"

In an instant, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Pierre's forehead, and an ominous feeling rapidly spread in his heart.

"You've all returned, which means Mom must also..."

The next moment, As if to confirm Pierre's suspicion, a small hand gently rested on his shoulder.

"Well~, Pierre, who were you just saying you would teach a lesson to?"

" ( ' ﹋ ' ; )?!!!!"

Trembling, he turned to look behind him. When the face of that breathtakingly beautiful black-haired young woman came into view, Pierre's expression instantly changed, showing a look of absolute horror.

Especially, After seeing the familiar weapon waving in the black-haired woman's hand, Pierre completely lost his composure.

The next moment, The Winter Forest, which had just regained its tranquility, was suddenly shattered by someone's desperate wail.

—"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! MOM, I WAS WRONG, FORGIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"—

—

Two hours later,

On the back mountain of the mansion in the middle of the Winter Forest.

Our handsome and brilliant Pierre was rubbing his backside with while stumbling through the trees.

Damn it,

Why,

Every time I try to secretly show off in front of my sisters, Mom comes out to ruin it?! Does she have something against me?

(╥﹏╥)

And to frighten me with a feather duster, that's too much.

Rubbing his backside, Pierre complained.

Although he hadn't been directly hit, the few times his Mom had swung the feather duster to scare him had made Pierre's legs weak with fear. Not only that, his backside had started to ache vaguely.

Hmph,

Bad Mom...

...

And so, Pierre continued complaining as he followed a Lv7 Abyssal demon who was leading the way to a clearing on the back mountain.

As for why he was going to the back mountain?

Pierre wasn't quite sure.

But since it was his Mom's summons, Pierre didn't dare to disobey.

Worried that his Mom was secretly planning to settle accounts with him, Pierre remained in a state of unease.

When he arrived at the clearing, Pierre suddenly realized that he wasn't the only one called by his mother.

"Kalina? And Youlan?"

Seeing the two figures standing in the snow, Pierre exclaimed in surprise.

While feeling surprised,

Pierre also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, With his big sister and little sister present, his Mom probably wasn't planning to settle accounts with him privately.

"So, what did Mom call us here for? With just the few of us, this shouldn't be a family gathering, right?"

"No idea."

Kalina shook her head and turned her inquiring gaze toward the dark-haired girl sitting on a large rock nearby.

"Youlan, do you know?"

"Perhaps it's related to Mother's plan."

"Plan? What kind of plan?"

"Let's ask Mother directly."

With that, Youlan respectfully turned her gaze toward the empty space in the clearing.

The next moment, Under the watchful eyes of the three children, with the rippling of crimson Shadow power and the fluttering of bloody butterflies, a stunning black-haired young woman in a black dress, with bare feet, slowly descended onto the snow.

It was none other than Yumo, who had just finished comforting Yuan'er and Shuoyue.

"It's a very grand plan~"

Looking at Kalina, Yumo replied with deliberate mysteriousness.

Hearing this, Kalina, who seemed to have some psychological trauma, immediately shuddered.

A hint of doubt flowed from her crimson eyes.

Seeming to notice her child's doubt, Yumo pouted in displeasure.

"Please, can't you trust your mother a little. Besides, I've already discussed the plan with Youlan and Mengxi, and it's all good..."

"Oh, alright then."

Hearing that Youlan had been involved in formulating the plan, Kalina's anxious heart finally calmed a little.

"So, Mom, what are you going to do?"

Pierre asked curiously, with his arms crossed over his chest.

At this, Yumo slowly raised her hand and pointed to the sky:

"You all know where those self-proclaimed 'saviors' came from. To prevent those annoying fools from disturbing us, and to ensure that I, your mother, won't be controlled by others all day long, I plan to give those bastards a big surprise~"

"A surprise?"

Kalina and Pierre looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

"Yes, a big surprise!!"

Gesturing at her chest, Yumo said calmly. The moment this topic was mentioned, the black-haired young woman's expression instantly darkened, and a chilling coldness that made one's blood run cold suddenly appeared in Yumo's crimson eyes.

"The reason those people are so unrestrained is because they think we're easy to bully. If we want them to stop messing around, we must let them know that we're not to be trifled with!!"

"But,"

Kalina's eyes flashed with hesitation,

"Whether it's the Alliance from Source Star or the Abyssal Lord you mentioned before, Mother, their power far exceeds ours. How can we..."

"That's exactly why I've called you all here now~"

"Hm?"

"To boost our fighting power~"

The next moment, Under the slightly terrified gazes of Youlan, Pierre, and Kalina, Yumo suddenly summoned from her inner space that legendary weapon—the feather duster.

However, Yumo summoning the feather duster wasn't to discipline her children. Though she did indeed want to whack those naughty children who underestimated her...

With the surging of crimson Shadow power, the feather duster's appearance underwent a dramatic transformation, changing directly from a cleaning tool into an ominous crimson crystal rapier.

"My Children, you've probably been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, right? This time, let Mama help you~"

Before her words had finished,

Under the wide-eyed stares of the others, enduring the pain, Yumo suddenly thrust the thin sword into her own chest.

In an instant, Dark red blood slowly flowed out.

Along with it came a terrifying pressure that made it hard to breathe.

What flowed from Yumo's body was no ordinary blood.

It was blood formed from concentrated primal energy...
