Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1192 Prelude To The End

Chapter 1192  Prelude To The End

Valerie thought that it would either be her or Aur who would be giving birth to Lux's first child.

But after hearing Aurora's statement, she felt like someone had stolen her place in Lux's heart, making her want to confront that woman.

Even Iris, who still had her memories sealed, frowned. After spending time with Aurelia and Ari who got to retain their memories, she found out that she was Lux's first Fiance.

She could still accept that Valerie and Aurelia were about to give birth to Lux's children, but finding out that someone whom she didn't know had done it first, she felt as if someone managed to reach fourth base before her.

Cai then looked at her sisters one by one.

None of them had a bulging belly yet, so it was impossible for them to have given birth without her knowing.

"I see, so that's it."

Aina, who had remained quiet until now, suddenly spoke up. Lux had talked to her about many things that happened in his life. One could even say that the Dwarf knew more than what her sisters knew about the Half-Elf.

After connecting the dots, only one answer came to Aina's mind.

"It's Queen Rhiannon, right?" Aina inquired.

"Yes," Lux answered in a heartbeat. "She gave birth to a daughter, and her name is Dia."

"Dia… that's a good name." Aina nodded before shifting her gaze to Aurora. The two ladies held each other's gaze, but neither of them spoke.

It was as if both of them had reached a tacit understanding and decided to keep silent about the matter until Aurora was ready to tell everyone.

Meanwhile, in the Abyss…

Antero stood tall as he gazed in the direction of the portal.

He could tell that someone was trying to force their way in, and he knew right away that they would gradually succeed in their endeavor.

The Golem of Destruction could have delayed the inevitable, but he deemed that this was just a waste of time.

"Little Rhiannon, don't leave the castle," Antero ordered.

"Yes, Lord Antero," Queen Rhiannon replied as she held Dia in her arms.

The baby was sleeping, and unaware that someone would soon intrude upon her peaceful world, which she had enjoyed since the time of her birth.

The space twisted and, finally, a figure emerged from the portal that led to the 14th Layer of the Abyss.

"Finally," Daniel said as he looked at the Golem of Destruction in the distance. "You sure gave me a hard time, Antero."

Antero didn't say anything and continued to hold his ground.

Behind Daniel, countless Abyssal Lords and Abyssal Monsters started to appear, which were under his rule.

The Pseudo-God then glanced in the direction of the castle, and the corner of his lips rose by a slight margin.

But before he could do anything, space started to twist around him, making the smile on his face disappear.

"Are you sure about this, Antero?" Daniel asked coldly. "We could settle this peacefully, you know? If you agree, I will not harm anyone on this Layer, and even forbid my subordinates to harm any of them. All I ask is that you give her to me."

"No," Antero replied firmly as he took a fighting stance. "You're not taking Little Dia under my watch."

Daniel snorted as he raised his hand.

The image of the Outer God, Azathoth, who made Antero look like a little insect, appeared.

But despite all this, the Golem of Destruction stood his ground.

Dia was his family.

How could he possibly let Daniel take her away and extract the Pillar of Eternity, that slept within her innocent soul?

Yes.

Dia held the last Pillar of Eternity that Daniel was looking for.

The Pillar of Hope which was represented by a Golden Candle.

"I'll ask one last time," Daniel stated. "Give her to me, and we can still both walk away from this without antagonizing each other."

Antero didn't even bother to reply to Daniel's words and prepared himself to fight.

Cracks appeared all over the skies of the Thirteenth Layer, making even Daniel frown.

"So you plan to go all out, huh?" Daniel's face became solemn after realizing how serious Antero was.

Not many knew about the fact that Antero was the very first creature born in the Abyss.

Because of this, he had the power to control the Abyss to a certain extent, which allowed him to seal the portals that led to the Thirteenth Layer where the two people he considered to be his family resided.

Now that one of them is being threatened, the Golem of Destruction would not back down and would even destroy the entirety of the Abyss if it meant ensuring that Daniel wouldn't get what he wanted.

Truth be told, the reason why Daniel was trying to settle this peacefully was because he also didn't want to antagonize Antero.

He was the Golem of Destruction, and he could survive even if the entirety of the Abyss was destroyed.

Antero was also a Pseudo-God, but he didn't fight using his full power. Because, once he did, the Abyss would be destroyed by him.

However, Daniel also couldn't back down because he needed the Pillar of Eternity from Dia.

Because of this, he had no plans to change his decision. He channeled the strength of Azathoth in his body and prepared to clash against the Golem of Destruction.

Suddenly, the cry of a baby reverberated in the surroundings, catching Antero by surprise.

His sole attention had been focused on Daniel and he didn't notice that an Abyssal Lord, who specialized in stealth, had infiltrated the castle and captured the baby in Queen Rhiannon's arms.

The Succubus Queen still hadn't regained her full strength, so she wasn't able to detect the Abyssal Lord either.

"Noooooo!" Queen Rhiannon shouted as the Abyssal Lord escaped from the castle, carrying her child in his arms.

Antero roared, and the entirety of the Thirteenth Layer shook due to his rage.

Now that someone had dared to kidnap his family member, he would not stop until that person was destroyed.

The silhouette of Azathoth above Daniel's head opened its eyes.

It then unleashed a deathly beam of destruction at the Primordial Golem of the Abyss and shattered its body into countless pieces.

Queen Rhiannon's cry of despair spread throughout the entirety of the Thirteenth Layer as the world around her started to crumble.

Now that the balance of power in the Abyss was broken, the final prelude for the end of the world had finally begun.

(E/N: Don't worry. Elyon said that he's asking to be strangled when he wrote this, so if you're angry, I can provide you with ropes.)
