Free Web NovelChapter 1576: Chapter 469: Abyss of Desire (Part 3)
Meow instinctively went looking for the reliable figure of Yan Huan, as it had been every time before.
But this time, while speaking, it suddenly froze.
In the darkness ahead, Yan Huan stood there, dazed, his eyes vacant, as if his consciousness was submerged somewhere else.
"Yan... Yan Huan?"
In the next moment, his right palm strangely seemed to split open as if sliced by some invisible force.
No trickling blood seeped out.
Instead, what emerged were countless, dense, tiny pink crabs.
"Gurgle..."
"Dot dot dot dot..."
Those countless, tiny crabs, which could easily trigger anyone with trypophobia, crawled out of Yan Huan’s palm, engulfing him swiftly and entirely.
In the darkened living room, the sea of pink crabs formed into a cocoon-like shape, while beneath, countless crabs continued to scuttle around.
"Yan Huan!!"
Seeing this, Meow was appalled.
Facing those crabs imbued with terrifying power, Meow instinctively stepped back.
But the next second, looking at Yan Huan disappearing into the crab sea, it gritted its teeth, mustered all its courage and strength, and charged ferociously toward Yan Huan.
"Meow!!"
It let out a shout, and with a pop, dove into the sea of crabs.
"Yan Huan! Quick! Wake up! Give up the modifier!!! Otherwise..."
Struggling to push away the crabs biting around with its paw pads, Meow drilled inward frantically while shouting to remind Yan Huan.
As long as Yan Huan gave up the modifier, everything... everything would...
"Goo!"
The next moment, as Meow surged forward, it seemed to have completely pierced through this ocean of crabs.
Then, it fell into an endless darkness.
"Smack!"
Injured all over, Meow fell on a reef, but didn’t forget to lift its head, looking for Yan Huan’s figure.
However, at that sight...
It was immediately terrified.
"Here... here..."
This was the first time Meow had come to Yan Huan’s so-called "Demon Shop."
But this, how could it be a quiet reef surrounded by the ocean?
It had always been on a gigantic hand.
All around, the terrifying five fingers of the Evil God soared into the sky like massive pillars piercing through the dark veil of the universe.
Right at the center of these massive pillars, numerous pink crabs swirled, gradually forming a giant throne in the palm...
On the throne, Yan Huan was held up by countless crabs, tightly grasping a silver dagger, suspended in mid-air.
"Yan Huan!!"
Finally finding Yan Huan, and seeing he was unharmed, Meow felt a surge of joy, struggled to get up, and hurriedly called out to remind,
"Quick... Give up the modifier Meow!! There’s still time for everything!! As long as you give up the modifier, everything will end!!"
"..."
Upon hearing Meow’s voice from behind, Yan Huan’s figure on the throne between the five fingers trembled slightly.
In the next moment, holding the dagger tightly, he slowly turned his head.
"!!"
This distant glance made Meow instantly widen its eyes, frozen on the spot.
Yan Huan was staring straight at Meow, the once handsome and sunny face now shadowed with obscurity and darkness.
In those eyes within the shadows, there was no hint of being beguiled, but it contained a depth and muddiness of desire Meow had never seen before, the darkest and most turbid desire in this world.
"..."
Amidst the silence, as the terrifying shadow of the five fingers slowly moved toward Meow, Yan Huan simply kept looking at the intruding Meow.
Then, Yan Huan opened his mouth...
Using his own voice, with his own will, he spoke in a calm yet unyielding response,
"Meow...
"I... still can’t give up the modifier."
