Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Controlling the Abyss



John, feeling a pang of guilt, pulled her into his arms and comforted her, saying, "Alright, I won't force you next time."

Sara leaned into his embrace, nodding obediently.

"Um, you should get dressed," she said, glancing at John's still-erect member. She swallowed nervously, feeling a wave of fear-she really couldn't take any more.

"Okay." John got dressed with Sara's help, putting on his equipment.

They didn't continue, and Sara remained nestled in his arms, her head occasionally nuzzling his cheek as she enjoyed the rare moment of tenderness.

"Husband, how long have you had the Fox Demon Curse?" Sara asked, something suddenly coming to her mind.

John thought for a moment. "It's been about a month, I think."

Sara lifted her head, her expression worried. "That long? Haven't you tried to get rid of it?" John was puzzled. "Isn't this method supposed to break the curse? Besides, I've noticed that the duration of the curse's effects has been getting shorter."

"Who told you that this method could break the curse?" Sara looked at him incredulously, her concern growing. "The Fox Demon Curse is a very sinister power. If you don't find a way to remove it and let it continue to develop, you'll eventually lose your sanity and become a creature driven by nothing but desire."

"What?" John was shocked. The Black Turtle had told him that releasing it would gradually diminish the curse. Could that advice have been wrong?

Sara continued, "Fortunately, it hasn't been too long. If you can find the Jade Heart Lotus of the Beast Clan, it can completely neutralize the curse."

The Black Turtle had mentioned this method as well, but the Jade Heart Lotus had vanished, and no one knew its whereabouts.

John, curious, asked, "Is there any other way to remove it?"

Sara shook her head. "Maybe Lord Tony and the others might know. I can take you to see Lord Tony."

With that, she stood up, ready to take John to find Tony.

"No rush. Let's focus on getting stronger first," John said, stopping her.

The Fox Demon Curse wasn't an immediate concern. His main purpose in coming to the Abyss was to slay Tier 6 or higher Abyssal demons, increase his mastery of dark elements, and recruit powerful allies here to prepare for the upcoming Faction System.

Sara quickly added, "I'll go with you. I can help keep you safe."

Now that their relationship had been established, it was clear she had developed a sense of dependence on John.

John nodded, not refusing her offer. He was worried that something unexpected might happen between the world of Gods and the real world. With Sara's help, he could hunt down Tier 6 or higher Abyssal demons more efficiently.

In the Abyss, demons were abundant, and John didn't let any opportunity slip, even targeting ordinary Abyss demons.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His goal was to gain experience and Plunder attributes.

...

Over the course of more than a month wandering the Abyss, John finally managed to slay 900 Tier 6 or higher epic-level Abyss demons, along with countless ordinary Abyss demons. Through this, he plundered a substantial amount of attributes and successfully increased his mastery of the dark element's Power of Laws to 10%.

He had completely taken control of the Abyss, now able to freely command and even lead the imprisoned powerhouses out of this realm.

During this period, John's level had also risen to 455.

After reaching Tier 5, the experience required to level up became immense. He now needed over 200 million experience points just to advance a single level.

Fortunately, the high level and large number of Abyss demons made it possible; had he been in the world of Gods, it would have taken him half a year to achieve such progress.

Not wanting to waste any more time, John said, "Sara, take me to meet with Tony and Ben." "Okay," Sara agreed obediently, nodding her head.

She was overjoyed to learn that John had a way to take her out of the Abyss.

During the past month, their relationship had grown quickly. John's Fox Demon Curse had

flared up twice, and both times, it was Sara who had helped him through it.

Now, her reliance on John was as strong as that of Sini and the other women.

...

Both John and Sara had the ability to fly, and they soon reached a deep part of the Abyss-a sheer cliff.

This was where Tony and Ben had been in seclusion.

The area was rich with dark energy, once home to a Tier 9 Abyss demon, but the two had slain it and claimed the place for their training.

Sara looked toward the cliff and called out, "Seniors, the Godslayer is here to see you."

Rumble...

The ground trembled, and the cliff wall split open from the middle as two figures flew out.

It was Tony and Ben, both Tier 9 pinnacle powerhouses.

"Kid, how did you get trapped here again?" Tony asked, frowning at John.

Assuming John had come seeking help, he continued, "Come on, I'll help you get out."

John quickly replied, "Seniors, I've come to take you out of here this time."

"Take us out?" The two of them were surprised, looking at him in confusion.

John nodded and explained, "I've obtained the key to the Land of Darkness and have fully mastered the Abyss."

"You... you've increased your mastery of the dark Power of Laws to 10%?" Tony stared at John in disbelief.

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to comprehend the Power of Laws. He had been imprisoned here for thousands of years and still hadn't managed to grasp the dark Power

of Laws.

"Haha, Tony, how about that? My prophecy was spot on!" Ben, however, looked smug, not the least bit surprised by John's Tier 5 strength and his mastery of 10% of the dark Power of

Laws.

Tony shot Ben a glare but remained silent.

John continued, "Seniors, the world of Gods is preparing to launch the Faction System, and I'm concerned that Tier 9 powerhouses might descend. That's why I'm hoping for your

assistance."

"The Faction System is about to launch?" Tony and Ben exchanged glances, their expressions filled with excitement.

John was puzzled by their reaction. Why did these two seem so eager for the Faction System to

launch?

"Kid, this is a good thing," Tony explained. "The Faction System will help all the major races to strengthen their powers more effectively. The gods must be feeling threatened and are likely planning to intervene personally."

"The gods might descend?" John felt a pang of worry. The power of the gods far surpassed that of Tier 9 beings. If the gods themselves got involved, even Tony and Ben might not stand

a chance.

Tony nodded and added, "You don't need to worry. For the gods to intervene personally, there's another condition-the Ragnarok instance must be unlocked. When that happens, all the major races will have the opportunity to cultivate to god-level strength."

All races able to cultivate to the strength of gods?

John thought about the legendary treasures of the major races: the Demon Race's Demon Soul, Demon Eye, Demon Wing, and Demon Armor; the Beast Clan's Monster Bone, Monster Claw, Monster Core, and Monster Spirit.

By advancing to Tier 9 and refining and fusing these treasures, one could rival the power of a

god.

And he already possessed a complete set of these treasures from both the Demon Race and the

Beast Clan.

John speculated that the Ragnarok instance must be closely tied to these treasures.

It seemed that the launch of the Faction System was indeed a good thing.

John looked at the two seniors and asked, "Seniors, how do we unlock the Ragnarok

instance?"

In this lifetime, his goal was to challenge, and perhaps even slay, the gods. Unlocking the

Ragnarok instance was essential.

The two shook their heads.

Ben spoke up, "It seems that this matter is in the hands of the Angel Race. The launch of the Faction System is the prerequisite, and the Ragnarok instance should appear afterward."

The Angel Race?

John recalled the two Two-Winged Angels he had slain.

With the Faction System launching, he was sure to face them again in battle.

The Angel Race and the Dark Humans were among the gods' most loyal followers, but the Angel Race was stronger and held in higher regard by the gods.

Tony then said, "Kid, we're not ready to leave just yet. Since you've gained control of the Abyss, if you ever find yourself in danger, you can summon us anytime."

The two had long since grown accustomed to the Abyss, where the dark energy was incredibly dense. After thousands of years of cultivation, they had each attained over 90 points of Dark Element Affinity. Tony, in particular, had reached 99 points in Dark Element Affinity, putting him on the verge of breaking through to 100 points and mastering 1% of the dark Power of

Laws.

Once he achieved that, he would be able to leave the Abyss on his own.

John nodded, understanding that as long as the two agreed to assist him when needed, it didn't matter if they chose to stay in the Abyss.

Ben spoke up, "Let me summon the other strong beings in the Abyss for you." With that, he waved his hand, and a Dark Orb shot into the sky, exploding in a brilliant display.

The powerful energy from the explosion could be sensed in every corner of the Abyss.

Sensing this, the powerful figures of various races began to converge on their location. "There's something else," Sara suddenly remembered and said, "John has been afflicted by the Fox Demon Curse. Do you have any way to remove it?"

Tony glanced at John, having already sensed the curse within him, and asked, "What? That old

turtle didn't give you the Jade Heart Lotus?"

The "old turtle" he referred to was the Black Turtle.

John quickly explained, "There's been a misunderstanding, Senior. The Jade Heart Lotus was

lost, and even Lord Black Turtle doesn't know where it is."

"What?" Tony's expression darkened with displeasure. "Has the Beast Clan really fallen so far that we can't even keep track of the Jade Heart Lotus?"

John remained silent, though in his view, the Beast Clan was still quite powerful.

However, compared to stronger races like the Dark Humans, the Demon Race, and the Angel Race, they indeed lagged behind.

Tony continued, "The Fox Demon Curse is the most malevolent power of the Fox Clan, triggered only by the near extinction of the clan. Apart from the Jade Heart Lotus, there's no

other way to remove it. However, we can help you find the Jade Heart Lotus."

With that, he turned to Ben.

"Sigh, I knew you had something up your sleeve, you old rascal," Ben sighed heavily, his

expression turning serious. Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and a wisp of his Remnant Soul emerged from his body.

Ben's face turned pale, his energy disrupted, as he guided the Remnant Soul toward John.

"Kid, I once used the Jade Heart Lotus in my cultivation, and my soul is linked to it. As long as

it's nearby, this Remnant Soul will sense it." "Thank you, Senior!" John bowed gratefully and carefully stored the Remnant Soul.

He was well aware of how damaging soul injuries could be almost irreversible and requiring a long time to heal.
