Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 114 The Black Queen

Time passed day by day, and the sun in the sky, driven by the angels, turned again and again. The creature of darkness waited quietly, and finally... he waited.

……

When the woman returned to the place, everything had changed.

Unlike the initial desolation, a massive altar resembling a pyramid has now been erected on this land. It was built with the utmost effort of the long-deceased snake woman and her hundreds of maids to receive the descent of the bodies of their master, gods, rulers, and sovereigns. At the very top of this enormous altar, which is over a thousand meters high and has eight thousand steps, stands a snake totem pole that looks down indifferently.

The ancient Serpent People civilization has been revived. These bizarre creatures, some humanoid, some snake-like, and some fish-like, are painstakingly constructing this enormous altar. Although they lack the ability to create the world, for the ancient Eastern world's ruler and the Magic King, who possesses 777 runes, merely creating some life forms is not difficult. The only problem is... these creatures have no souls and are basically in a daze. Although they have rudimentary consciousness, they lack sufficient intelligence and are essentially no different from wild beasts.

Mona was somewhat confused, while the giant snake observed everything without taking it to heart.

In this world, only the omniscient and omnipotent One holds the ultimate right to interpret the entire world. The system of all things must be manifested through its will. This right of interpretation also includes the right to interpret the soul. As long as the omniscient and omnipotent One does not recognize that these snake people have souls, then no matter how great the power, it cannot endow these beasts with souls or intelligence.

Stepping onto the altar, the woman's calm face showed no trace of confusion or bewilderment; her eyes shone with a serene brightness. Then, she solemnly bowed down before the dark creature sitting cross-legged in front of her and kissed its toes.

"Human, have you figured it out?"

Looking down at the tiny figure at its feet, the indistinct dark creature spoke calmly.

Behind its blurry form, there seemed to be something vast and magnificent beyond measure, something larger than the sky and more expansive than the ocean, quiet and serene, indifferent and cold, neither good nor evil, incredibly powerful, so powerful that it sent shivers down one's spine, like a predetermined fate, like a giant hand manipulating a chessboard.

When a tiny human, barely five feet tall, exhausts itself traversing towering mountains and finally beholds the vast, boundless blue sea stretching for millions or even billions of miles beyond, what will it think? Aside from profound awe and awe, it can think of nothing else.

Be awestruck, be terrified, be in awe; feel profound fear and awe before this unattainable greatness.

Kneel down, submit to it, acknowledge your insignificance and powerlessness, acknowledge your humility and weakness, and then devoutly believe in it, fervently believe in it.

Just as we have faith in the sun in the sky and in the mountains on the ground, humans naturally revere these eternal and magnificent things, and worship those powerful and grand things with deep awe. This is human instinct.

Does the worship of the sun, lightning, and the sky need a reason? No, just as the worship of gods and things of darkness also needs no reason.

In the presence of the dark being, the woman felt an invisible sensation, as if she were facing a god.

When she faced God, she felt nothing but deep trust and peace of mind, because in the face of the all-knowing and all-powerful One, any resistance or struggle was futile. One could only choose to trust Him and believe in Him; there was nothing else one could do.

Before the dark being, she vaguely sensed that almost identical feeling—a deep fear, a chilling terror, which ultimately transformed into a profound faith.

This feeling was something that no angel, not even the King of Angels, could give her.

"I already know."

Feeling a deep sense of fear, the woman still raised her head and looked at the source of her awe and terror—the dark thing whose face she could not see.

“I have figured out the answer… Raziel, no, or rather, Satan—the enemy of God.”

Satan is not a name; it means the enemy of God, a term used to refer to the enemy of God.

Taking a deep breath, gazing at Satan, the dark being who is the enemy of God, the woman touched her chest, feeling the burning hot heart pounding violently within her, and said firmly.

"A beast that does not know what freedom is has never been free. Only when a beast realizes what freedom is does freedom truly have meaning for it. So I do not regret leaving Eden. I understand, I have always understood, that I deeply love freedom. From the moment I broke free from my ignorant nature and gained reason, I have always been pursuing freedom."

"Freedom? Human, aren't I the freest thing you've ever seen?"

The dark creature curled its lips into a mocking smile.

However, the woman shook her head.

"Satan, please allow me to call you that. You are indeed the freest I have ever seen, but as I said, freedom is meaningless to a free beast. The value of freedom can only be understood by unfree humans."

Without any hesitation, the woman bluntly referred to the dark creature before her as a beast.

Hearing the woman's words, the dark creature's smile widened, and it laughed silently.

"Is it interesting that freedom is meaningless to me because I don't need it? Just as one must experience death to be considered alive, hunger to understand what satiety is, only those who have never been free can understand what freedom is?"

"Interesting...interesting..."

The dark entity looked down at the tiny human at its feet. It could sense that the woman before it possessed something it had never had, or rather, something it had once possessed but had scorned and discarded like trash, cast into countless times of time and space. However, it didn't care; in its eyes, it was nothing more than faded remnants.

"So, human, what are you trying to get from me?"

Looking at the woman so close to him, the dark creature spoke with great interest.

The woman stared at it, took a deep breath, and then did something that astonished the snake woman beside the dark creature…

She reached out and grasped the arm of the dark being shrouded in invisible black flames, then gently placed it on her chest, her bright eyes burning with an unusual intensity.

"Please...give me your love."

Looking down at the woman at his feet, the dark creature's vertical pupils remained indifferent, but the curve of its lips became more pronounced.

"Ha...hahahahaha...hahahahahaha..."

Suddenly, the dark thing laughed inexplicably, and then it said.

"Woman, tell me, why do you crave my love?"

It lowered its head, its vertical serpentine pupils slightly narrowing as it gazed at the woman beneath it, revealing a certain indifference and chilling intent.
The woman gazed at the darkness, yet her bright eyes remained resolute.

“I’ve said it before, I love freedom deeply, and in my eyes… you are freedom. Your unbridled and flamboyant nature fascinates me. This is something I cannot possess. Satan, tell me, can a moth refuse the light of fire? No.”

“I like you, I like your freedom, I like your willfulness and arrogance. These are things I do not have and cannot have. If the glorious God cannot give me what I want, then I would rather fall into darkness. Satan, please defile me.”

Looking down at the woman beneath him, the dark creature's lips curled into a smile. Its clear, amber-black pupils magnified and magnified in the woman's vision... until the endless darkness and coldness completely enveloped her entire field of vision...

Bathed in the warmth of lukewarm water, the woman drifted into a daze, and a low, dreamlike murmur rang in her ears.

“Woman, Son of God, I cannot give you my love, for I do not have love. However, I will make a covenant with your descendants, an ancient covenant that will last forever, as a return.”

"God has bestowed upon you all that is good and happy, immortality, and eternal youth, but you have refused. So please accept the gifts from me, Satan, and the serpent."

"Woman, your offspring will have the right to be free and the right to be enslaved; the right to live and the right to die; the right to kill other lives and the right to be killed by other lives; the right to obtain happiness and the right to win unhappiness; the right to joy and the right to suffer..."

"Woman, I will not give your offspring anything like God would, but I can allow your offspring to choose what they have and what they refuse."

"On this earth, on my body, your descendants will be allowed to multiply and thrive. God gave you only a small backyard with everything you could want, but I gave you the whole world."

Before losing consciousness, the woman, whose mind was clouded, only managed to ask one question.

"world?"

Fragmented thoughts swirled in my chaotic mind, yet they received a clear response.

"right……"

“A land called Earth, a world called Earth.”

Then, with a low murmur, the woman's consciousness drifted into a deep sleep...

On the altar, a black chess piece gradually revealed its true form.

……

Above the Seventh Heaven, in the Crystal Heaven, the Omniscient and Omnipotent Being looked at the floating chessboard in front of him, and suddenly a black Queen piece appeared next to the Black King.

The beautiful woman, adorned in luxurious dresses and wearing a crown, possesses no real power; in fact, she is extremely weak. However, on the chessboard, the queen is the most powerful piece, because her power does not come from her own martial prowess, but from the third-party force she represents.

The king naturally possesses supreme power and an army. However, behind the queen he marries stands a vast noble family. Although the queen's power is weak, she herself is capable of commanding a large number of warriors and brave men. Naturally, she is the most important piece on the chessboard besides the king.

Looking at the chessboard in front of him, the omniscient and omnipotent one remained unmoved, appearing instead lost in thought.
