?1177 An Excuse For Your Own Incompetence

"So you managed to get the Golden Scales. This is very good news," Daniel said. "However, why didn't you send it to me right away? Are you that petty, Nyarlathotep?"

"It's not that I don't want to send it to you, Daniel," Nyarlathotep replied. "It's just that, if I do, things will suddenly get boring again. You know, I hate it when things get boring."

"Boring? Is that your excuse for not even managing to get the Golden Anchor from that puny little Slime? How bored are you, really?"

"That Slime is different. I'm going to make her my pet after I'm done dealing with the small fries."

Daniel snorted. He knew that Nyarlathotep was cooking up something in Elysium at the expense of delaying their plan of an all-out invasion.

Also, he hadn't been in the best of mood because of the pests that had taken away the Transcendent Succubus, who possessed one of the Pillars of Eternity in her soul.

He didn't know whether this was part of Antero's plan to prevent him from breaking through the seal that the Primordial Golem had placed on the portal that led to the Thirteenth Floor.

Even so, Daniel had to admit that, unless he gained another Pillar of Eternity, he would be unable to change the status quo in the Abyss.

This was why he was very annoyed that Nyarlathotep chose to do things his way instead of promptly sending him the Golden Scale, which would allow him to get to the First Layer of the Abyss and traverse the portals that led to different worlds.

"Calm down, Daniel," Nyarlathotep stated. "Give me two weeks. After two weeks, my plan will have come to fruition. I am preparing a very special present for you—something that you will like very much."

"The only thing that I'd like to see is Elysium and Solais being destroyed by my own two hands," Daniel replied. "Two weeks, Nyarlathotep, and not a day longer."

"Fine. I know that you are getting impatient, so I'll send you the Pillars in two weeks."

"Good. Update me if any variables arise."

After cutting off his connection with the Outer God, Daniel glanced at the two-meter-tall Black Wolf with the wings of a Griffin and the tail of a snake.

He was none other than the Demigod, Marchosias, whom he had sent to investigate the commotion that had taken place on the 14th Layer of the Abyss.

"Why didn't you stop them when you met those two suspicious individuals, Marchosias?" Daniel inquired. "You know that traveling through the different layers of the Abyss is not allowed at this time, no?"

"They told me that they were merely going back to their hometown, which was on the 69th Layer," Marchosias replied. "I didn't know that they were planning to go to the 111th Layer of the Abyss."

"They told you that they were going to the 69th Layer, and you believed them?" Daniel asked in contempt. "Tell me, Marchosias, why should I not kill you right now? Give me one good reason why I must spare your life?"

"If that will make you happy for not being able to handle two small fries by yourself, then go ahead," Marchosias replied. "All of your subordinates tried to stop them, but what happened? They still escaped your grasp.

"Of course, I had planned to block them on the 14th Floor as well, but the moment Lord Antero appeared, I was forced to lead my men to safety. I don't think I did anything wrong. Feel free to kill me as an excuse for your own incompetence."

The Black Wolf met Daniel's gaze fearlessly. He had agreed to become the Pseudo-God's subordinate, but that didn't mean that he would grovel and beg on his feet just to ask him to spare his life.

He was one of the rulers of the Abyss. novelbuddy.co(m)

He had his own bottom line.

Even in death, he would not lower himself to that of a mongrel.

"Get out of my sight!" Daniel ordered.

He was really tempted to kill the Abyssal Lord, but he knew that if he did it, nothing would change.

Even if Marchosias had fought against Lux, the outcome would have still been the same.

The Abyssal Lord would just die, including his subordinates, and no one would know what had happened until it was too late.

Right now, Daniel believed that everything that happened was due to Antero's ploy.

Lux was disguising himself as an Incubus.

Because of this, Daniel had no idea that the person who was supposed to be dead long ago had not only infiltrated the Abyss but had also stolen the Pillar of Eternity, which he had set his sights on.

If Daniel were to know of these things, he would definitely be shocked because not only was Lux supposed to be dead, the connection between Elysium, Solais, and the Abyss should have been cut off completely.

This was also the reason why it was impossible for Daniel to even think that the one who had snatched his prize was Lux.

While he was still deep in his thoughts, a messenger had come to inform him of the latest things that were happening in the Abyss.

Daniel had asked his subordinates to report anything that was happening in their respective layers once a day, in order to ensure that there would be no repeat of the incident that happened not long ago.

"There has been an influx of souls that are coming from Elysium and Solais," the Messenger reported. "Millions of cocoons have spawned in the 222nd, 333rd, and 444th Layers. I believe that this is all thanks to Lord Nyarlathotep's actions, as well as the Abyssal Lords, who are currently in Elysium and Solais."

"Anything else?" Daniel asked.

Millions of souls suddenly appearing in the Abyss wasn't something to be surprised about. He had already expected this to happen.

What he didn't expect was that, out of those millions of souls, someone housed a Pillar of Eternity in her soul, which should have been a pleasant development for Daniel.

"Nothing else to report, My Lord," the Messenger replied. "Even the scouts on the 14th Layer are saying that they are not seeing any changes in the portal that leads to the 13th Layer."

Daniel sighed before waving his hand to dismiss the Messenger.

'I just hope that Nyarlathotep doesn't forget his promise,' Daniel thought. 'Two weeks is a long time, and I have already completed my preparations here. It seems like the only thing I can really do is wait.'

Daniel closed his eyes in order to meditate.

This was the only thing he could think of in order to calm his nerves while waiting for the promised day that Nyarlathotep would give him the Pillar of Eternity, the key that would allow him to enter the portals of the Abyss and conquer all the worlds that were within his grasp.
