Abyssal Apostle Di, the Torrent

[Sparkle: Don't change the subject!]

Too bad, no one in the livestream room paid Sparkle any mind—everyone was waiting for the system's reward.

(Sparkle (???皿??)??3??: Ignore me? I'll remember this grudge!)

[Congratulations to Raven for obtaining "True · Entangling Fate."]

True · Entangling Fate: No matter how far apart, no matter if one has left, those who once met will be guided by the radiance of this fate stone, reuniting under the starry sky.

(I was going to use Entangling Fate, but comparing the descriptions, Entangling Fate seemed more fitting.)

[Kiana: This description is so complicated, I can't understand it at all. Mei, can you?]

[Mei: It probably means it can bring the person you want to see to you?]

[Kiana: In that case, can I find my deadbeat dad!]

[Bronya (Honkai): That means Seele can too...]

[Seele (Honkai): Sister Bronya...]

[Lumine: And my brother, who made himself a prince while letting his sister suffer and wander. @Aether, you'd better pray you don't show up in front of me just now, or else hmph hmph...]

At that moment, Aether, handling affairs in the Abyss, saw his sister's message. His body instinctively wanted to stand and run, but as he rose, he thought, "Wait, I'm in the Abyss. Lumine can't find this place. Why am I worried?" Then he slowly sat back down.

The Abyssal Apostle Torrent beside him saw his prince, who had yet again veered off course, suddenly stand up and then sit back down. He immediately understood his prince's thoughts.

"I see. His Highness the Prince must be angered by his blood relative's words and wanted to show her his authority as an older brother. But then he remembered his sister isn't here, so he sat back down."

Watching his Highness sigh and start reviewing documents, Torrent thought, "I get it! So that's it. Because he's the prince, his actions represent the Abyss. For the sake of the Abyss's dignity, he can't lower himself to confront the Traveler. Truly worthy of our Abyss prince. In that case..."

"Your Highness the Prince!" Torrent knelt on one knee before Aether.

Aether looked up at Torrent, puzzled about what his subordinate wanted.

"Your Highness, I understand your intentions. You've sacrificed so much for the Abyss. Let me share your burden!"

Aether found his subordinate's words strange, but the atmosphere felt awkward. To lighten the mood, he said to Torrent, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"As you command, Your Highness!"

[Abyssal Apostle Torrent: @Lumine, as His Highness's blood relative, how dare you speak to him like that! His Highness is the prince we follow, not some mere Traveler you can threaten.]

[Lumine (▼皿▼#): What business is it of yours between me and my brother!]

[Abyssal Apostle Torrent: His Highness the Prince has no time to answer your questions. You're just a Traveler, while His Highness is the prince of the Abyss!]

[Lumine: Fine, fine. Since that's the case, @Aether, you bastard brother, there's no place for you in this family anymore. Live out your life with your subordinates. Goodbye!]

"Lumine, are you okay?" Paimon asked, a little scared by Lumine's murderous aura.

"What could be wrong with me, Paimon?" Lumine retracted her killing intent and showed a gentle smile.

Seeing Lumine back to her usual self, Paimon sighed in relief and cautiously asked, "So, are we still looking for your brother?"

"Of course we are." Lumine suddenly pulled out an Edge of the Void Sword. "I'm going to make that brother of mine relive all our wonderful memories from the past, hehehe..."

Unaware that his sister was already planning a heartfelt reunion, Aether stared at the Abyssal Apostle Torrent, completely dumbfounded.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with what I did?"

In Torrent's view, he had not only upheld the prince's dignity as an older brother but also protected the Abyss's image. Surely, the prince would reward him handsomely.

Watching Torrent, who was still seeking praise, Aether directly hurled him into Wolvendom, leaving only the words, "Get lost!"

Torrent was still dazed, not understanding why his prince had cursed him and told him to scram. But then he thought, "Since I spoke that way to His Highness's blood relative, it was somewhat presumptuous. So even though I completed the task, promoting me just for that wouldn't convince anyone. To win everyone over, the prince threw me out on the surface, but it's actually a test. If I pass this test, I'll get a promotion, a raise, become CEO, and marry a beautiful woman. Just thinking about it gets me excited. Wait, what's CEO? Whatever, it doesn't matter."

Looking around, he saw several wolves resting in the distance—clearly Wolvendom. Not long ago, the prince's scheme with the Dragon of the East Wind had failed. So why throw him here now? Obviously, since the Dragon of the East Wind plan failed, the prince was switching to the Wolf of the North Wind.

According to intel, the Wolf of the North Wind was only a lingering soul, much easier to handle than the Dragon of the East Wind. Wolvendom was full of wolves, so few people came here—meaning no one would discover the prince's scheme.

Most importantly, there were no other Abyssal Apostles here. That meant he was the highest authority. This achievement would be his alone, and that would convince everyone!

Thinking of the bright future with promotions and raises, Torrent was moved. "Truly worthy of His Highness the Prince. What did a lowly Abyssal Apostle like me do to deserve such care from His Highness?" "Now then, King of the North Wind Wolf, prepare to serve your new master, hehehe..."

Torrent sneered as he walked toward the Wolf King, unaware of what awaited him...

Not long after, an Abyssal Apostle ice sculpture appeared in the Wolf King's trial grounds. (Boreas: I don't know? I was sleeping peacefully when some water-covered monster came at me, saying something like 'Submit.' Annoyed, I froze it on a whim.)

[System: Oh my, oh my, I didn't expect you all to get this so quickly.]

[Raven: What's wrong? Is this something rare?]

[System: That's right. This item has another name.]

[Raven: What name?]

[System: Random Resurrection Coin.]

[Zhongli: !]

[Otto: !]

[Kevin: !]

[Jing Yuan: !]

(As for why the Abyssal Apostle got frozen, I can only say: don't underestimate a demon god! Even if it's just a lingering soul, freezing a mere Abyssal Apostle is no problem.)
