Chapter 2366: Time To Get Going

After getting my business done with Mammon and having surprisingly bonded with him, expressing our love for one another, I quickly decided to get going.

He wanted to cuddle more with me after all the sex, but I had things to do at the end. It was nice he was finally being honest with himself and very lovely, but it was important I didn't waste any more time.

And anyways, not like he truly left, he was right with me in the ring that could turn into a giant axe or armor, so he never truly left!

He's the clingy type, I think...

Anyways, once I was done and ready, everyone else was also ready. My wives had practiced cosmic energy manipulation enough and were totally ready for it.

While Astraea and Agatheina slept after giving birth and Andromeda took care of little Origin, I think we were mostly ready.

I didn't want to bring too many people as it would become too large of a group, but right now, as we stepped back into Abyss, we were surprised to see that my thought process was wrong.

Immediately after seeing an army of tens of thousands of monsters rushing towards us, I quickly decided to bring as many family members as possible, even if right afterward they would need to go back to the divine realm.

"Looks like we got quite the welcoming party!" I said, unleashing my powers. "Everyone! Time to clean this pest from the world! Make sure to get a lot of levels from this!"

"YEAAH!"

My family and friends roared like an army of friends. The beasts that greeted our sight weren't normal. The majority of them were Vampiric Beasts infected with Spirit Energy and Miasma, turned into aberrations covered on colorful crystals and black, slimy sludge and tentacles with crimson eyes and jaws attached to them.

Usually, Vampiric Beasts were the most populous type of creature in the world of Abyss, as its name implied, they were monsters that were vampiric in nature.

Due to the large portals spreading like cracks above the sky leading to the Spiritual Plane and also the wormhole that ended connecting to the Outer Plane, Abyss was being invaded from every angle.

And just when things couldn't get any worse, a mysterious villainess stole the sun and awakened the Sun God sleeping in it, causing even more chaos!

Oops...

Well, but isn't this place finally looking a bit livelier though?

Looking at the sky and analyzing the world around me with my Cosmic Senses, there's a lot of interesting things happening.

To the southwest, the entire world is freezing, and even the skies above are covered on endless snowstorms, I think the moons over there just froze.

What happened there? Skadi wouldn't do this. Then her daughters? I doubt it...

And then to the northeast, the light of the awakened Sun God spread into the skies bringing daylight for the first time.

However, it was a much brighter daylight, so bright and hot it burned everything, leaving a dried wasteland as giant rays of light began to "cleanse" this world.

Well, damn.

Maybe I have to own up for my little mistakes and at least take care of that Sun God bastard, though I have no idea what's going on with the freezing side of the world.

Well, seeing our current route and where I can sense my family and friends being located, we'll be moving there as we advance, we'll find out once we get there.

"T-This is a terrifying army! Just how many monsters are there?" Allan, the Vampire Hero of the Silver Moon wondered.

Since I rescued him that him and his vampire friends had been training diligently inside of my Inner Realm, I even let them absorb lesser cosmic treasures and gave him the benefit of eating a dual realm core, so he awakened into a Cosmic Entity, a World Devourer Realm base, plus the power that the Silver Moon Goddess blessing gave him, which already put him into that Realm in terms of power, made him even stronger now.

"Our world is in peril..."

"The freezing lands to the northwest... someone is threatening everything!"

"The Sun God to the southeast..."

"Is Abyss finally coming to an end? Is our world going to be destroyed?"

The other Vampires we've recruited all gathered around their Hero, wondering if things would get better at all. I couldn't blame them if they felt that way, I would think similarly in their position.

"This is..." Allan muttered, unable to respond well.

"Don't worry, we'll save Abyss," I said out of nowhere. "After all, I want this world for myself, so I gotta help you save it. The Sun God's awakening is my fault, so I'll take responsibility and defeat him. Allan, rally your people. We'll find many more vampires on our way; I need you to guide them. Your daughter Mia and the other children are safe in my Realm, so don't worry."

"Kireina-sama..." Allan seemed moved by my words. "Thank you! With your help... I think there's some hope, and this hope, I shall give it to my people."

He quickly summoned the powers of his blessing as the hero, imbuing his body with Silver Moonlight Armor, emanating a Cosmic Aura of Silver Moonlight, as he raised his sword into the skies.

"Vampires! Today we shall bring down these wretched beasts!" he roared. "The world might be in peril, but that doesn't mean that we too, shall fall into despair! The Powerful Families are doing nothing but watching, to save the humble vampires of the world all lies within us!

Let's do this!"

FLASH!

His Aura expanded into all the Vampires with him, most of them were either members of his village we saved and healed, and others were slaves that the other Recessed kept for food or

materials.

Their numbers easily made over fifty, it wasn't a bad number at all, even less when Allan's power covered their bodies, granting them the same armor he wore.

Their armor, weapons, and abilities were amplified, gaining new power. This was the ability of Heroes in every world, it seemed, to make others around them also stronger, to rally entire

armies.

"SHAAAHHH!"

Tens of thousands of Mutated Vampiric Beasts reached us, as I smiled, also preparing myself

for battle.

"Shall we begin with a boom? {Solar Vampire Goddess' Bleeding Sun}!"
