Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 118 Unsatisfied Desire

“I don’t know how much Yahweh saw before this game started. Maybe it was just a part, or maybe a lot, or even all of it. Although from my perspective, He obviously doesn’t like to know the outcome in advance and probably doesn’t see much, I don’t place my hopes on other people’s ‘probably,’ ‘maybe,’ or ‘perhaps.’ So, I consider my chances of winning to be zero.”

The dark creature spoke, its sharp, needle-like pupils filled with icy coldness.

"Such behavior is truly unworthy of that deity."

Beside the dark creature, the snake woman Mona showed a hint of disdain on her face.

Mona, after all, was born in the Norse universe. Even though she was just a corpse at this moment, she was still accustomed to the Norse gods' beliefs and admired fair and square battles and killings. She either gloriously cut off the enemy's head or died honorably lying on her own shield. She despised Yahweh's behavior of knowing the future in advance but saying nothing, which was unfair to the game.

"It's not that simple."

However, the dark entity neither agreed nor disagreed, and instead asked a question.

"Mona, from the very beginning, He didn't stop my contact with Lilith, but silently watched. Why do you think that was?"

Mona thought for a moment, then shook her head in confusion.

"His position on the equilibrium chessboard."

A deep voice then rang out.

“He already knows the future, so I am already at a disadvantage on the board, and it has lost its meaning in terms of fun. In that case, He will give me a move, weakening White's original absolute advantage…”

"On the chessboard, there are no more pieces, or rather, only Adam is left. I, on the other hand, have two pieces: one is the hybrid race born of Lilith and me, and the other is the snake people under your command... This is the balance He considers, a balance that can be used to erase the advantage He gained from foreseeing the future. In this way, it can be considered fair."

"You're going to let me have a go? How arrogant of you..."

As he spoke, a hint of interest appeared on the face of the creature shrouded in darkness, its features obscured.

"Since I gained consciousness, some have been hostile to me, some have revered me, some have feared me, and some have hated me... But no god or man has ever dared to despise me. It's really quite interesting."

"Father, you will not fail."

Beside her, Mona spoke firmly.

However, gazing at the vast ocean before it, the dark creature inexplicably chuckled softly.

"Ho... ho ho..."

Its smile was casual, but the coldness in its vertical pupils never changed.

And with its soft laughter, under its gaze, the boundless, stormy, and surging sea before it inexplicably seemed to become viscous. The wind gradually subsided, the seawater gradually stopped surging, and the entire sea fell into a deathly silence...

Do not!
It wasn't that the seawater stopped flowing, but rather that the entire world seemed to have slowed down the flow of time.

Sky, earth, ocean...

The vast sea of ​​clouds above the blue sky, the angels that appear and disappear among the clouds, the rainbow bridge on the azure sea, even the cries of seagulls in the air, the gentle breeze blowing in my ears...

Above the Seventh Heaven, the angel who patrolled the sky in a winged humanoid form no longer flapped his white wings, and his serious and earnest face froze, his golden horn held motionless in his hand.

The swan, poised to take flight, froze in mid-air, its long neck craned upwards, but its body remained completely still. The strange, enormous beast of the sea, swimming freely, too, was paralyzed in the frozen ocean, unable to move forward...

The wind has ceased to blow, and the stars have stopped turning.

Lightning, storms, flames, souls, matter, spacetime... everything in the world, both tangible and intangible, fell into stillness under the control of some vast and boundless will.

Time has stopped flowing.

But in this still world, only one person can move with composure.

The arm, shrouded in black flames, slowly extended, its five fingers spread out, carefully sensing the universe before it, which had ceased to move under its own will.

"Mona, I am strong, I am very strong."

His calm tone was devoid of any emotion; he was simply recounting the events.

Beside the Dark Being, Mona remained motionless, but the Dark Being knew that she could hear it.

Its power is not merely to stop time, but to control all things in the universe, both tangible and intangible, through its immense and unbelievably magnificent spiritual power.

When the entire universe is brought to a standstill, it is naturally not a problem for the snake woman to maintain her will and hear her own words.

"I have become so powerful that it is unimaginable. But even so, my power continues to grow stronger with my insatiable desires and hunger. I don't know how powerful I will become in the end."

"However... I encountered an existence that may be the limit of my power, the omniscient and omnipotent being."

As he spoke, the dark creature chuckled.

"How interesting, all-knowing and all-powerful..."

The five fingers slowly clenched, and as the dark thing extended its five fingers, the surrounding space could not withstand this enormous pressure and was forcibly pulled apart, revealing invisible passages.

Beyond those passages lie connections to various timelines, past, future, and present. Through these passages, the dark entities can even freely travel between any point in time.

However, behind those passages, an unimaginably huge finger now blocked them...

Those are the fingers of gods from different times and spaces.

In an instant, countless time tunnels were closed by the gods who followed.

"That god forbade himself to peek into time, and also forbade me to peek into time, so no one can know the outcome of the game in advance."

Gazing at the closing time tunnels before him, the dark entity spoke calmly, as if it had tried this many times before.

As it spoke, the dark creature raised its head and looked up at the sky above, its already sharp, vertical pupils becoming even more piercing.

"I don't know what the future holds, but I do know... that guy is definitely planning something."

Within the Crystal Heaven, the god, shrouded in radiance, gazed down at the chessboard before him, revealing no discernible thought.

……

After some time, a message came from the Seventh Heaven.

God banished Adam and Eve, who were created from Adam's rib, from the Garden of Eden.
