Ah—

The voice that remained in her mind.

That voice that, at every moment, urged her to walk towards the abyss.

That voice full of seduction, seemingly destined for her...

Finally, all the suffering, all the anguish, transformed into this moment of pure pleasure.

This sensation...

This sensation of being filled with power...

This sensation of being completely fallen into the abyss, of surrendering entirely...

It is truly very pleasurable!

Shirley began to laugh.

Her laughter was distorted and sweet, maniacal and joyful.

The black mist emanating from her left eye had already covered her entire body.

Then.

The explosion of black energy released a strange force that quickly corroded the environment around.

Even in his divine realm, the God of Light could not dispel this strange evil invasion.

And as Shirley revealed her body once again, she had already changed her appearance.

Black.

Dressed in an elegant black outfit, Shirley's height and silhouette seemed to have shrunk a little, her short silver hair had transformed into long, deep black hair that almost touched her heels.

On her face, there was an insane, distorted smile, but incredibly seductive.

But what stood out the most was the darkness of her left eye.

Shirley extended her hand and looked at her now-black nails.

She embraced this power, she accepted the power that was the abyss.

And because of that, she was able to enjoy the powerful characteristics of the abyssal matter to confront the deities.

"Abyss!"

Shirley’s palm struck the platform made of abyssal matter beneath her feet.

Suddenly, this strange abyssal matter began to expand rapidly, not only dominating the airspace but also assimilating, or rather, devouring the realm of the God of Light.

"Abyss?"

The God of Light vaguely remembered hearing that word somewhere, but it didn’t clarify whether they referred to the same region.

After all, the word "abyss" might appear repeatedly in different worlds.

But, in any case, he could not allow the "abyss" to infect his divine realm.

"Divine power!"

In an instant, the divine power of the God of Light expanded to its maximum, a devastating attack of divine power, filled with bright colors, surged towards Shirley.

However, the effects of these attacks were far smaller than he expected.

A divine attack that should have been devastating hit the barrier made of abyssal matter of Shirley, as if it had struck a swamp.

The devoured divine power quickly became part of the abyss, causing Shirley’s strength to increase even more.

"Are you still trying to fight?"

Shirley turned her neck, speaking in a hoarse and pleasurable voice.

"Sorry, in the face of the abyss, you have no strength to defend yourself. No matter how hard you struggle, you will end up becoming part of the abyss!"

More and more abyssal matter fell to the ground, forming a black wave that slowly expanded around.

Shirley raised her hand, and the abyssal matter in the air began to stir, surrounding the God of Light.

"Damned native, what kind of joke is this!"

The God of Light was furious and found everything unbelievable, at the same time, a feeling of panic began to arise in his mind.

When he looked into the darkness of Shirley’s left eye, he felt impotence, a sensation of being trapped by a colossal beast from the vast universe.

That powerful and evil force was chilling.

And, as Shirley had said.

The abyss would eventually devour everything.

This abyssal matter spreading from Shirley violated the rules of divine power, corroding his divine realm, leaving it in ruins.

And this abyssal matter became increasingly powerful and aggressive.

His attacks were ineffective, for as soon as they were unleashed, they were quickly devoured by the abyssal matter hovering in the air.

He still needed to dodge the attacks of this abyssal matter, and on Shirley's body, which wasn’t even a "deity," he felt intense impotence.

More than saying he was fighting Shirley.

It would be more accurate to say that now it was Shirley who was wearing him down.

When the divine realm offered him no advantage, his fate was sealed...

...

"Is that the new power Shirley acquired?"

From a distance, Karina observed the scene of the battle between Shirley and the God of Light in the air.

It was a one-sided massacre by Shirley, perhaps this battle would soon come to an end, but there were no smiles on her face.

—Because of Shirley's power.

That terrifying force, which sent chills down her spine, felt like an extremely repugnant substance touching her skin, making her feel an innate hatred.

Within that evil and nauseating force, there was definitely a danger that Shirley had not revealed to them.

What could it be, after all?

...

"Ah—ah—ah—"

Shirley was stepping on the viscous and repugnant abyssal matter in the air, her body moved irregularly while emitting incomprehensible moans.

As if she were restless, as if she were having fun, as if she were insane, as if she were suffering...

"Abyss, madness!"

From the increasingly abundant abyssal matter spreading, it seemed that thousands of robust tentacles were extending, writhing wildly, attacking the God of Light.

That light that had once been strong and sacred now appeared like a flickering candle in the wind, about to extinguish at any moment.

These tentacles made of viscous abyssal matter seemed to have great elasticity, they stirred the air, making the God of Light feel a desperation akin to being submerged in water.

He thought that by escaping back to his divine realm, everything would be resolved, but he did not imagine that this way he would end his tragic life in his own territory.

The divine realm, filled with damage and divine power being constantly devoured, gradually made the God of Light lose the will to fight.

Perhaps he wouldn’t realize it until death.

The abyss not only devoured his body and divine power, but even his will was corroded and consumed by the abyss.

This frenzied abyss began to spread throughout the body of the God of Light, and it was then that he felt what it was like to be completely enveloped by the abyss...

It was truly very...

Comfortable...

Yes, that feeling of decadence, even knowing that his body was disintegrating, his divine power was waning, his will was sinking...

But that feeling of unrestrained surrender left him completely intoxicated.

No one can resist the abyss.

And no one can stop the corrosion of the abyss.

Everyone will end up becoming part of the abyss.

Or become part of the abyss.

Or be devoured, becoming part of the abyss.

"Hehe..." The God of Light chuckled softly, then turned the face that had been consumed by darkness towards Shirley.

"I didn't expect to die here, but do you think this is all over? My master, my master will soon descend to this world! With his power, he can easily tear this world apart and completely annihilate it. When that happens, you can expect a multitude of despair! Hahaha—"

The last laughter gradually faded as the entire body of the God of Light was covered by the abyssal matter.

The sky, the ground, the lakes...

Everything in this world began to show black cracks.

The realm of the gods had already begun to fall.

Everyone gathered around Shirley again, but no one dared to approach, for the Shirley of now, both in appearance and sensation, was completely different from the one they had known before.

Especially the feeling of fear and aversion that came instinctively made her even more strange to them.

That slowly spreading abyssal matter began to writhe towards Shirley, gradually entering her left eye.

During this process, Shirley spoke.

"It’s not safe here anymore. I will send you back."

Shirley said this, and no one contested.

Then, Shirley activated the teleportation coordinates that had already been set, and the little companions before her disappeared one by one, returning to the world that belonged to them.

Finally, the only one left was Karina...

"Wait!"

When Shirley was about to use the last teleportation circle, Karina interrupted her.

Karina stepped forward and approached Shirley.

"Until now, can't you tell me what's going on here?"

She asked.

Hearing this, Shirley smiled and replied, "It's a trade."

"In my left eye, there exists a will called 'abyss', it has always seduced me, convincing me to accept the power of the abyss. After encountering that demon, I obtained part of the abyss's power, very strong, but not enough. It's not strong enough for me to... restore your body."

"So, I made a trade; I fully embraced the power of the abyss and became part of it."

As she said this, Shirley paused and continued.

"When we return, you will be responsible for leading the others."

"Why? Where are you going?"

Karina asked, stepping closer.

"I am going..."

At that moment, all the matter of the external abyss returned to Shirley's body, and she regained her original form, although her left eye was still a darkness that devoured everything.

A strange fissure seemed to open suddenly, appearing beside Shirley.

"Abyss..."

The last teleportation circle lit up beneath Karina's feet as Shirley's body was also absorbed by the abyss.

"Shirley!"

Karina did not hesitate, using her own power to break the teleportation circle.

Before that strange fissure could close, she jumped inside.

...

At this moment, what presented itself before Shirley was something she had never experienced before...

The true abyss!

Shirley didn't know what she was seeing, but she was certain it was the abyss.

It was a massive chasm.

Like a valley.

But the area that stretched was beyond Shirley's comprehension.

It seemed to have an end, but at the same time, it didn’t seem to.

And her body was falling from a great height, about to plunge into an endless abyss.

This made her recall a past experience.

When she was little, when she fell into the Valley of Despair.

The two situations were similar, but this time the despair was much more intense.

Moreover, this time there was no company from Karina...

"Shirley—l!—"

At that moment, Karina's familiar shout echoed above her, causing Shirley to turn quickly.

Then, she saw Karina "dancing" in the air.

"Idiot! Why did you jump?!"

"I said I would protect you. How can I let you face this danger alone?!"

"The abyss will devour everything. This is no joke; you can't resist it, you idiot, foolish, stupid!"

"Then, if that's the case..."

"Let me fall with you into the abyss!"

Seeing Karina in a somewhat comical position in the air and hearing the words coming out of her mouth, Shirley didn’t know what feeling that was.

She just felt as if her vision was shrouded in mist.

She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything.

Likewise, Karina didn’t say anything more.

They were like this.

Falling through the air.

Looking into each other's eyes.

What is the bottom of the abyss?

Would they continue falling to the abyss's depths?

No!

They had already entered the area of the abyss fissure, but something met them.

It was the endless matter of the abyss that did not belong to Shirley.

Here, all normal rules seemed to have been devoured.

Like gravity, like inertia.

Shirley and Karina's bodies maintained a certain distance, suspended in mid-air.

Meanwhile, the matter of the abyss was already spreading through Shirley's body.

"Shirley!"

Seeing this scene, Karina made swimming movements in the air, forcing herself to move a certain distance and grasped one of Shirley's hands that was still visible, pulling her out.

But it was useless.

In this situation, she had no strength whatsoever.

Even if she tried, she was doomed to be unable to resist the abyss.

"Idiot, go away! Maybe you can still escape."

"I won't!"

Karina stubbornly replied.

She did not give up and continued trying to pull Shirley out of the abyss.

However, the abyss continued to corrode Shirley's body.

Gradually, only her face remained visible.

Karina gave up...

She no longer tried to pull Shirley out of the abyss; instead, she pulled her body closer to Shirley.

"Idiot..."

Now, Shirley could only emit that trembling voice.

"Shirley, let's stay together forever. Even if we fall into the abyss, I don't want to be separated from you!"

Karina held Shirley's face, and their lips began to meet until their bodies were completely devoured by the abyss...

...

Time and space flowed.

Above the world where Shirley was.

A deity descended.

Previously, he ruled vast star regions, managing and enslaving various races, including deities.

But due to a disaster, everything he had was destroyed.

Now, one of his servants brought information that there seemed to be something important in this small world.

As he observed this world, suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, startling him.

He turned around and saw a strange being resembling a mushroom.

A large round mushroom with arms and legs, and a huge serious face, looked quite comical.

How did he manage to hide his perception?

As this thought arose, the mushroom being raised its fist.

Then...

The broken deity, obliterated body, transformed into a flowing light and disappeared into the universe...
