Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 112 The Free-Spirited Monster
The naked woman looked at the desolate world before her. As far as the eye could see, nothing grew. There was nothing but sand and deathly silence. Everything was completely unlike the Garden of Eden. Not to mention life, even the air was extremely thin, so thin that it was almost non-existent. Just staying here for a short while made her feel short of breath.

Looking at the world before him, there was a hint of confusion in his bright eyes.

"Is this... hell?"

She had heard angels say that beneath heaven lay hell, a desolate wasteland devoid of life.

When she abandoned Eden, Eden abandoned her as well. Unable to remain in the Kingdom of God any longer, she chose to fall from the heavens and come to this desolate and lifeless hell. Even though she had prepared for it, the desolation of the place still surprised her.

Along with her voice, a hoarse female voice followed.

What is hell in the eyes of angels is a holy land to us.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw a huge dolphin beside the woman, and on the dolphin's back was a beautiful woman holding a pure gold scepter.

Her pale skin exuded a chilling aura that seemed inhuman, and her lifeless white pupils held no light. Her neck, wrists, behind her ears... all the easily overlooked parts of her body were covered with a layer of fine snake scales. Rather than a living being, she looked more like a corpse.

The dolphin she rode hovered in the air as freely as if it were in water. In her hand, she held a pure gold scepter covered with mysterious patterns that many women could not understand. These patterns symbolized the immense power she once possessed as a god, a king of the earth, and the ruler of the ancient Eastern world. Those who revered and worshipped her called her "the Magic King who rules over seven hundred and seventy-seven runes," the magic king who spread the runes wielded by the Norse gods throughout the human world, and the god-slayer who successfully killed a god during Ragnarok.

Snake people, snake folk, and even humans and numerous wizards worshipped and believed in her, regarding her as the beginning of magical civilization. But no matter how glorious and brilliant her achievements were, they all disappeared with the destruction of the universe. What still lives in this world now is just a cold corpse awakened by her father.

The corpse had no temperature, no heartbeat, and its blood had long since frozen and stopped flowing. It had no joy, anger, or emotion, only some deep-seated obsessions that remained from its previous life—a reverence that had lasted for tens of thousands of years.

"You are……"

"Looking at the life before you with some confusion?" the woman asked hesitantly.

She glanced at her, and the beautiful woman spoke again in a hoarse voice.

“Come up, your father wants to see you.”

The cold corpse could not utter the pleasant voice it once had from its stiff throat; it could only produce a hoarse sound. But even though it was hoarse, the woman could still feel the irresistible power that the voice carried unintentionally.

As the woman spoke, the dolphin beneath her lowered its body, supporting itself with its fins, and its body landed on the ground, allowing the woman to climb on.

After thinking for a moment, the woman obediently climbed onto the dolphin's back. As soon as she climbed up, the dolphin beneath her floated up and, as if driving the currents in the sea, rode the thin air and soared freely in the sky.

"call……"

The only sound was the howling wind, and pebbles of sand lashed against the woman, leaving bruises. She had to cling tightly to the dolphin's dorsal fin, keeping her body low to avoid falling. The dolphin, though incredibly fast, remained remarkably stable. A beautiful woman, her back to the woman, stood on the dolphin's head, completely oblivious to the raging wind, and simply raised her scepter, tapping it lightly…

In an instant, all the air currents, all the waves, and all the yellow sand parted, as if subjects were making way for a king. The whole world bowed before this scepter. Wherever the dolphin went, there was no wind, and the gale that had made the woman feel so uncomfortable vanished. Looking up at the silent woman with her back to her, who had not spoken again, the woman understood that this was something the other woman had done specifically for her.

As the dolphin flew faster and faster through the air, the scenery around them flashed by like a fleeting moment. Mountains, lakes, and oceans were left behind in the blink of an eye. The woman looked at the scenery below, and her curiosity grew, making her even more eager to meet the "father" that the woman in front of her had mentioned.

"Who exactly is the other party?"

The woman couldn't help but think about it.

The woman, who lived in the Garden of Eden from the moment of her birth, never experienced any accidents in her life. Eating, playing, resting, waking up, repeating... everything was orderly and she earnestly followed God's will. But since leaving God's paradise, it means that her life will be filled with countless unknown variables and will never be as simple as it was in the Garden of Eden.

Nervousness, anticipation, joy, hesitation, fear...

A mix of emotions overwhelmed her; the woman, who had never experienced such complex feelings before, didn't understand what was happening to her, but she also vaguely realized...

Is this what freedom feels like?

While still somewhat bewildered, a sudden realization dawned on the woman.

As she thought this, the dolphin gradually slowed down, and on the distant seashore, one could vaguely see many figures flying in the air. These were the maids awakened by the ancient king of the Eastern world. Because their souls had belonged to the Great Serpent long before the destruction of the universe, even in the present day when gods and giants had been devoured by fate, they could still be awakened from death by the power of the Great Serpent.

This is the last remnant of the entire universe.

The duty of these more than one hundred maids was to serve their gods alongside the king, to please their master with songs and dances, including performing dances in the air for their gods.

At the seaside, a dolphin landed, and a beautiful woman flew off the dolphin, then bowed down to a rock on the shore.

"Father."

There were no superfluous words; the emotionless corpse had long been accustomed to silence.

"That's really slow, Lilith. I thought you could be faster."

A leisurely voice rang out, and Lilith looked in the direction of the sound. There she saw a dark creature, shrouded in darkness, lying comfortably on the reef, a wanton smile on its face that she couldn't see.

In a daze, Lilith seemed to see an arrogant and free soul, unburdened by any shackles on its body or in its heart, free and unrestrained.
