#569 - Chapter 569: Upgrade failed?
“Ahhhh!”
Amidst intense pain, Wu Wei awoke on the abyssal sacrificial altar.
Then, his body began to contort.
It was contorting segment by segment!
His fingers began to twist and deform, turning into inhuman bone.
And his toes turned into writhing flesh.
Even his skin began to shrivel, and large, excessively robust muscles began to be exposed from the gaps in his skin.
The Fallen Angel Liz, who had been guarding Wu Wei's side, widened her eyes at this scene.
Unlike Wu Wei, who was in pain and knew nothing about many abyssal matters, the Fallen Angel Liz knew what was happening to Wu Wei's body.
In short, to put it simply...
Wu Wei's soul was being changed.
But his body had not adapted to his soul in time!
His soul had become too powerful due to the abyss's blessing.
So powerful that his original, weak mortal body could not bear his soul, could not bear his will!
This change was so painful that Wu Wei's body began to perish.
“Damn it, Lord, you must endure.”
The Fallen Angel Liz was quite worried to see this scene.
After all, in her opinion, her Lord was undergoing a transformation.
And as long as it was a transformation, there was no such thing as absolute certainty!
“Believe me, the Abyss Mother will definitely...”
“Huh?”
However, just as the Fallen Angel Liz thought Wu Wei's transformation would continue to the end,
Wu Wei's transformation ended.
Yes.
Not completed.
But ended.
As a large amount of relatively gentle darkness condensed and poured into Wu Wei's body, Wu Wei's originally crazily distorted body began to return to normal.
The previously broken skin grew back.
The previously excessively strong muscles also atrophied again.
A terrifying monster body disappeared.
Wu Wei's ordinary human body returned.
But this was still not the real reason for the Fallen Angel Liz's shock.
The real reason for her shock was...
The powerful soul of the Abyss Lord Wu Wei also began to “atrophy.”
The soul of the Abyss Lord, which had previously been deeply loved by the Abyss Mother, returned to its pre-degeneration state extremely quickly, like a deflated balloon.
Seeing this scene, the Fallen Angel Liz could only use one word to describe it, and that was...
Failure!
——————————
“Lord, wake up quickly!”
“Your rank advancement ceremony has failed!”
“Wake up for me!”
“Don't sleep!”
The Fallen Angel shook Wu Wei, who was lying on the abyssal sacrificial altar, like a madwoman.
And fortunately, Wu Wei also opened his eyes.
Only...
“Are you crazy or something!”
As soon as Wu Wei woke up, he glared at the Fallen Angel Liz, who had been worried about him for a long time.
“I finally managed to get some sleep...”
However, before Wu Wei could continue to say anything, the Fallen Angel Liz told Wu Wei about the failure of his transformation.
“So, so, and so.”
But to the Fallen Angel Liz's surprise, Wu Wei remained very calm after hearing this news.
Moreover, he even laughed.
“I know.”
“From the moment I entered the advancement ceremony, I knew that this advancement ceremony of mine could not succeed!”
“Ah?”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, the Fallen Angel Liz was completely dumbfounded.
“But why is that?”
She didn't understand why the Abyss Lord she served, who had clearly reached the point where he could accept the whispers of the abyss, would fail to advance.
The issue of advancement qualifications must first be ruled out.
Because, you must know, when Wu Wei could clearly hear the whispers from the abyss.
He already had the qualifications for advancement.
This was beyond doubt!
So Liz couldn't figure it out for a while.
But she didn't need to think, Wu Wei directly told her the answer.
“For no reason.”
“It's just because my soul is not pure enough.”
Wu Wei laughed.
“Originally, the will of the abyss, which is the Abyss Mother in your mouth, was gradually transforming my soul.”
“But when it came to the final step of the transformation, my soul transformation program stopped.”
“At first, I couldn't figure it out, but soon, the Abyss Mother told me the answer through the whispers of the abyss.”
“My soul is not pure enough.”
“There is still residual humanity in my soul!”
For some reason, Liz suddenly felt that the Lord in front of her was more like a “human” than ever before.
“It is precisely because of the existence of these human anchors that my soul cannot directly complete the advancement ceremony.”
“So, the Abyss Mother terminated this advancement ceremony for me and sent me back.”
Looking at the disappointed expression on the Fallen Angel Liz's face, Wu Wei reached out and knocked on Liz's head.
“Hehe.”
“Little one, you don't have to be so disappointed.”
“Although my advancement ceremony this time seems to have failed, it has not completely failed.”
“I have still obtained new abilities with the help of the Abyss Mother.”
“This new ability is very powerful.”
Hearing her Lord say this, Liz's expression relaxed a lot.
It must be said that the Fallen Angel Liz was much more “enthusiastic” than Wu Wei when it came to improving her Lord's strength.
“And in addition to having new abilities, I also saw fragments of the Abyss Dominator's memory in the abyss.”
Wu Wei rubbed the Fallen Angel Liz's golden hair and said with a smile.
“One of them, I think you should be very interested in knowing.”
“That is, the Abyss Dominator's fall was something he had foreseen long ago!”
“Or rather, he himself plotted his own death!”
