CHAPTER 1173: CHAPTER 444: SEED (5-IN-1) PART 2

Archbishop Akain spoke briefly.

Misya listened and said in a deep voice.

"Calling you back at this critical juncture, it’s probably not a good thing."

"No matter, as long as Commander Soraya is safe here, even the Fanluo God Emperor can’t do anything to me. Besides, I’ve always acted according to his will, what fault could there be?"

Archbishop Akain replied with a smile.

"Good!"

Misya nodded slightly in response.

---------------------------

In the pitch-black world.

Su Ming kept falling towards the bottomless abyss, his expression dazed, allowing the darkness to engulf him.

He didn’t know how long he had been falling when suddenly his body stopped as if he had hit rock bottom.

A glimmer of light appeared beneath his feet in the abyss, causing the surrounding darkness to change.

When Su Ming came to his senses, he found himself in a solemn, majestic, and sacred hall.

The dome of the hall was intricately carved with patterns and holy angels, with a luxurious throne at the forefront. A man dressed in a black dragon robe and wearing the Crown of Silence, whose face was obscured, sat above, surrounded by blurred figures.

Those blurred figures continuously accused.

"You are not at fault, it is us who are wrong!"

...

Su Ming stood silently at the edge, watching the scene.

Then, one by one, those accusing blurred figures disappeared.

Only a knight in white armor, holding a lance, remained kneeling on one knee and spoke devoutly.

"King, just give the command, and I swear to slay all those who have betrayed their faith and are utterly corrupt!"

The man on the throne was silent for a long while before finally sighing deeply and speaking in a desolate tone.

"Enough, stand down."

The knight slowly disappeared as well, leaving only the lonely figure on the throne.

Su Ming walked step by step towards the throne, more aware than anyone of how lonely, angry, and confused he had been at the time.

When he stood before the throne, the figure above slowly lifted its head.

At the moment their eyes met.

A sudden white light appeared, causing the pitch-black palace to dissolve like foam.

Su Ming’s consciousness was instantly pulled back by the white light.

In the medical room.

Mia, Su Yuan, Rhein, and others surrounded the bed, anxiously watching the comatose Su Ming.

"Lord Bodden, why hasn’t he woken up yet?"

Rhein couldn’t help but ask Dr. Bodden again.

"I don’t know either, Lord Su Ming’s physical condition is completely different from others. With his level of pollution, anyone else would have mutated or died long ago. Yet he is repeatedly bouncing back and forth on the line between mutation and non-mutation."

Dr. Bodden had a look as if he’d seen a ghost.

"Come on, think of something!"

Su Yuan said anxiously.

"I have, I’ve used all the drugs I can think of. I want him to be alright more than anyone."

Dr. Bodden felt like he wanted to die.

Ever since he was tasked with Su Ming’s health, he had nightmares every night, terrified that Su Ming might kick the bucket one day.

If Su Ming died, Lord Blakes would surely flay him alive.

Just as everyone was agonizing like ants on a hot pan, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes.

As Rhein was about to start lamenting something, he suddenly saw Su Ming open his eyes and shouted joyfully.

"He’s awake!"

"Boss, he’s awake!"

...

Mia and the others crowded around, calling out to Su Ming.

"Su Ming!"

"How are you feeling?"

...

But no matter how much everyone called, Su Ming showed no reaction.

"Boss, say something?"

"Yeah, don’t scare us?"

...

Seeing no response from Su Ming, Rhein and the others began to panic a little.

"Everyone step aside, let me see what’s going on."

Mia stepped up and said.

Rhein and the others stepped aside, and Mia leaned in close to observe Su Ming face-to-face.

"There’s nothing wrong, is there?"

Mia asked, puzzled.

"Miss Mia, have you been drinking again? The alcohol smell is so strong."

Su Ming suddenly said helplessly.

Mia was surprised and joyfully said.

"I knew you’d be tough and pull through this."

"Not necessarily, I still feel awful all over."

Su Ming replied with a bitter smile.

"Lord Su Ming, it’s normal to feel uncomfortable. Your body has been severely polluted, so recovery takes time. But as long as you’re awake, there’s basically no life-threatening danger anymore."

Dr. Bodden wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled with relief.

He had narrowly escaped disaster once again.

"Understood, how’s the current battle situation?"

Su Ming weakly inquired.

The previously joyful crowd fell silent upon hearing Su Ming’s question.

Mia sighed softly and said.

"We won the war, but the casualties were devastating. Not to mention the fallen generals and soldiers, almost half of the defense line weapons inside the Abyss of Descent are destroyed!"

"So what now?"

"What else? Commander Soraya can only have General Angulat and the others stationed there for defense. Meanwhile, reinforcements are being brought in from the upper defense lines, and we’ve also requested help from the Federation."

"Hmm, it’s the only way."

Su Ming replied weakly.

"Alright, don’t worry about so much and focus on resting well."

Mia advised Su Ming.

"Okay."

Su Ming forced a smile in response.

Several days later.

In the cemetery of the Abyss of Descent·Federal Defense Headquarters.

The entire cemetery was laid out in a circular formation, with honor walls erected along the edges, displaying the Federation heroes who had sacrificed over the years in the Abyss of Descent.
