Chapter 1642: Leaving The Tormented Chaos Abyss

Grand Dark Lich Barnabas clearly had no idea that after Soulmaw was rescued from his control, his nightmare would not end there.

Just moments ago, he had been planning to send warriors to the Tormented Chaos Abyss to investigate what had happened there, knowing that by the time they arrived, Kent would likely be long gone.

Of course, there was also a chance Kent might still be there, which, in his opinion, would be good for him and bad for the bastard who dared to steal from him.

Unfortunately for him, things were far from over.

Just as he was preparing to move forward with his decision to send the warriors, a terrifying force dug into his soul and forcefully extracted the seals he had placed on the two Overlords in the Abyss Layer.

Unlike the others whom he could command, the two Overlords had long since become aware of his control over them. So, using their Overlord authority, they had placed seals over the seals he had planted on them.

He knew the day he became a Primordial would be the day he could fully command them. It was also the day he was waiting for to finally unleash his army and bring the entire Star Realm under his control.

However, that opportunity had been forcefully taken from him, and with it, a large portion of his soul was ripped away, leaving him passed out on the floor with blood oozing from his nose.

He had no idea who dared to take what belonged to him, but he knew they were not people he could afford to provoke.

Even so, he could feel that his soul had been severely damaged, and as he drifted into unconsciousness, he made a mental note to one day find a way to get revenge.

If only he knew his nightmare had only just begun. The Tormented Layer he cherished so much would soon be taken from him.

Meanwhile, back in the Vagabond Kingdom, Kent sat on his throne, fully aware that the Evil Queen would appear at any moment.

As expected, a sudden bang echoed through the throne room as a massive tear in space opened, forming a large void portal in the middle of the hall and causing everyone present to go on high alert.

A second later, the Evil Queen walked out with graceful steps. Behind her, the Overlords of the Forbidden and Abomination Beast Races followed closely.

The Evil Queen clearly intended for her arrival to command everyone’s attention. However, the moment her gaze landed on Malak, part of her froze.

She recognized the power within Malak, and as someone who had cultivated Evil Qi her entire life, she instantly understood that Malak was bad news. However, seeing him seated on Kent’s right side, she realized that taking an offensive approach would be a terrible idea for everyone involved.

’They are together. He doesn’t seem to be in distress, so there was no need to attack,’ she thought inwardly.

She swallowed her fear and continued walking forward like a model on a catwalk as she approached Kent. When she stopped two meters away from him, she did something that shocked everyone present, including Kent himself.

She bowed.

"I greet my Prince."

Kent clearly did not see that coming. In his memories, he knew the Evil Queen, or as she called herself, Pandora, was his master.

She had taught him everything he knew up until the point he entered the Trial of Evil. So her bowing to him was completely unexpected. If anything, he was supposed to be the one doing the bowing.

Kent narrowed his eyes and was about to ask her what exactly she was doing when something suddenly clicked in his mind, and a flood of memories rushed into his head.

The memories belonged to the Ruthless Bandit. They began from the moment he emerged from the Trial of Evil. It was just after he parted ways with the 24 Arcane Elders.

Although they spanned only five years, he saw that after he became a True Evil, Pandora constantly referred to him as her Prince, claiming he was the prophesied Prince of Evil, the one destined to bring order to evil itself.

Kent had clearly never expected such memories to have been hidden from him all this time. But now that he remembered them, he felt even more embarrassed. However, one thing was certain: he was no longer merely a disciple, but a Prince.

"No need for the dramatics, Pandora. I see you brought some friends."

Kent turned toward the two Overlords. Just before Pandora could say anything, two more Overlords stepped out through the void portal.

Kent’s eyes widened the moment he saw the white-haired fox lady emerge from the portal.

"Yukiko... fancy seeing you here."

"Master," a smile appeared on her face. However, she frown whe she saw Pandora standing 2 meters away from Kent.

Yukiko recognized Kent long before she arrived since she had seen him in her vision, so for this monstrous lady to be standing close to him, her eyes narrowed, and she was about to gather energy to attack when Kent spoke.

"Pandora, you never told me you and Yukiko are friends."

Even Pandora was stunned. When she saw Yukiko and the Angel Overlord, who preferred to be called Angel King, she felt like attacking them would be bad for her.

It wasn’t fear, not when she was a Primordial and Yukiko was merely a Pseudo-Primordial. What she felt was more like a feeling.

Who would have thought that feeling would turn out to be this reveal?

"You two know each other," Pandora asked, and Kent nodded, feeling very happy.

"Yes. Yukiko was my friend and protector during one of my Incarnations." Kent laughed and added, "News flash, your theory that I had reincarnated before I became the Evil King turned out to be true. I was indeed someone amazing in my past lives."

Kent smirked and decided to explain himself before they started asking him questions, "Long story short, after I died as the Ruthless Bandit, I reincarnated as other people, one of these incarnations was a being called the Divine Beast Tamer.

Yukiko was my first and favourite Beast companion. She accompanied me throughout that life. She is like my best friend, lover, protector and advisor."

"Oh, that is actually sweet." Pandora may be an evil Queen, but her personality reeks of a good person. Perhaps that was why she was banished and also why she is unpredictable.

Yukiko approached Kent and poked his cheek to make sure he was real. When she saw that, a smile appeared on her face, and she transformed into a tiny version of her beast form and jumped into his arms, her nine tails brushing against his cheek and face.

This wasn’t the first time Mila and the ten celestials had seen her do that. But it was the first time for the rest, so they just stood there stunned.

"We have so much catching up to do, but until that, let me introduce everyone," Kent said, and went ahead with the introductions. A few minutes later, only one person was left.

"Finally, I want you all to meet my Big Brother. He is an Ancient Evil and one of the 24 Grand Arcane Elders, Grand Shaman Malak."

Pandora’s eyes widened, and she quickly bowed toward Malak, "Greetings, Grand Shaman, I am Pandora Ni Juhmika, a banished Princess of the Grand Arcane Star Family, one of the seven Royal families of the -"

Malak raised his hand to stop her from saying the last word; otherwise, she would risk destroying everyone.

"Nice meeting you, Daughter of Evil. We will talk later, so for now, celebrate your reunion with my little brother." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Pandora nodded, extra happy. She quickly introduced two overlords to Kent, who immediately accepted her gift and handed them over to Malak.

Afterward, he turned to the Angel King. "It seems after a billion years had past you forgot my face, you little punk," Kent said, directing his words to the lost and shocked Angel Overlord.

"Allow me to refresh your memory," Kent flicked his hand, and a small orb flew and merged with his forehead. A few seconds later, a frown appeared on his face. Soon, that frown turned to happiness, then reverence.

"So it is you, Evil King," he smirked, an air of arrogance appeared around him, "I never knew you, the mighty Evil King, is merely an Immortal now. I can kill you with a mere snap of my finger."

Kent smirked and turned to Pandora, "This brat was the reason I came to the Tormented Chaos Abyss back then. I merely stole a Jade Core from him, and he called his brothers, sisters, friends and parents to come after me.

I nearly died because of him."

"Do you want me to kill him?" Pandora asked with a serious expression, causing the Angel King to tremble in sheer terror. He turned pale at once.

Kent laughed, "No. His parents helped me after I left the Abyss, so I own him one."

"You are lucky, Angel," Pandora muttered, then she smiled.

"So tell me, Gideon, where are your parents and why are you her instead of up there?"

Gideon gritted his teeth, "That bastard imprisoned them in the upside-down cliff and banished the rest of us here."

"Who banished you?" Kent asked.

"One of the four rulers who betrayed you, Grand Sword Overlord Jggmat, or as he preferred to be called, the Prison Master. He owns the entirety of the Upside-Down Cliff, where he had imprisoned people he deem a threat to his rule."

"Is that so?" Kent stood up, "Go inform your people, I think it is time we leave this place."

Kent turns to the Overlords of the Forbidden and Abomination race; the same applies to you. We are all leaving this godforsaken place.

A few days later, Kent, alongside Pandora, Yukiko, Malak, his 48 demigods, the two Overlords now turned Evil Fiends, Gideon, and a few Forbiddens, Abominations, Sentients, and Vagabonds, appeared back in Skull City.

The rest would be summoned later.
