Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 138 The Loss of the Divine Throne
The world at this moment is completely different from the world at the beginning of creation. Under the management of many angels, the Seven Heavens are becoming more and more prosperous, and the size of the Seven Heavens is growing larger and larger, to the point that the distance between the earth and the heavens has reached a despairing 12 billion kilometers.

Such a vast Seven Heavens Realm, even the entire earth and ocean appear as insignificant as dust before it. Even the colossal creature lying dormant beneath the earth and ocean appears incredibly small before it, as insignificant as an ant. But... that was only just now.

"boom……"

It breathed in and out the vast atmosphere of heaven and earth, and with each long breath, the sea of ​​clouds was drawn in by the immense air pressure and continuously swallowed up by the black hole-like object. Every moment, every breath, made this monster grow larger and larger.

It greedily devoured everything in the world—stars, sun, moon, gas, everything—constantly swallowing them into its belly. As the old scales on its body fell off layer by layer, new scales were revealed underneath, and then its body grew even larger and larger.

No cultivation or training is needed; the monster can grow endlessly simply by devouring everything in the world. But the more it devours, the more deeply dissatisfied it feels.

"Hungry...hungry..."

Within those enormous, ocean-like vertical pupils, a deep, greedy desire surged, turning an even more intense crimson.

Hunger, an intense hunger, the same hunger as before, endless and boundless. The universe within its belly has been gradually digested. Now, this monster needs to devour more things and find more things to devour.

However, the monster had not completely lost its mind; it knew that there were still some things to do.

Standing atop the giant serpent's head, the dark entity looked around. All it could see was chaotic clouds. No matter how it looked, it couldn't find any trace of the god. The dark entity knew that the god couldn't possibly fail so easily, but no matter what it did, it couldn't find any trace of the god.

"Raziel, you have broken our agreement. Nothing in this world belongs to you, and you must not devour them."

Suddenly, a grand, calm voice came from above the dark creature. The dark creature abruptly raised its head and, in a place far beyond this world, beyond even this world itself, it could vaguely see something.

It was a pillar-like object, but it was so enormous that the Seventh Heaven, spanning 12 billion kilometers, paled in comparison. It was unimaginable and inconceivable. What kind of thing could be so vast?

The dark creature narrowed its eyes slightly; it saw some mysterious patterns on the pillar…

"finger."

Gazing at the enormous thing, the dark entity stood with its arms crossed, calmly uttering a single word.

If one could observe from a higher perspective, one would see that the entire Seven Heavens and the entire universe are held in the palm of a pair of giant hands.

Not to mention the giant serpent, even the Seventh Heaven, which is hundreds or thousands of times larger than the giant serpent, is insignificant in its presence. However, the dark creature looked up at the finger above its head, which was too far away to see clearly in its entirety, and could only vaguely make out a part of its incredibly huge size, and grinned.

"What if I insist on swallowing it?"

Beneath it, the monster, whose length was immeasurable and whose size could blot out the sky, merely shook its head. Its heavy breathing transformed into a violent storm mixed with thunder. The sheer amount of its immense power, even in its slightest leakage, was already terrifying. It was unimaginable how earth-shattering it would be when it unleashed its full power.

There was no sound coming from above, only the fingers that were gradually growing larger.

Those enormous hands, which hold the entire universe in their palms, are slowly closing...

"Roar!!!!!!"

However, the ferocious monster's scales burst open, and its roar shook the Seven Heavens. Its body continued to expand and grow larger. In just a few breaths, the monster had grown several times larger, and it was still growing bigger and bigger at an increasingly faster rate.

Faced with the enormous, unbelievable thing above its head, the monster, far from retreating, charged straight at it. Its vertical snake eyes were crimson, and it opened its abyssal maw wide, revealing two rows of fangs that had not been used for countless years.

Faced with a battle of such scale, no words can describe its intensity. Neither earth-shattering nor darkness can adequately describe the strength of the two sides; there is only the purest struggle of power.

……

In the Seven Heavens, all the angels were alarmed by the huge commotion and appeared one after another. Whether it was the archangels of creation or the vice-ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom, they all came out to watch the battle. However, no matter who they were, they all understood that this was not a battle they could participate in.

In an instant, a sound of pain seemed to ring out in the air, and then the savage monster fell to the ground.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

The Seven Heavens, which had been built over countless millennia, was shattered by the massive body of the falling monster. Hundreds of millions of angels who couldn't dodge in time were also reduced to dust, awaiting resurrection. The filthy snake blood was scattered all over the world, some even splashing directly onto the angels.

Beneath the Seventh Heaven, in the void, the enormous monster was covered in wounds, bleeding everywhere. The overflowing blood gathered into a sea, especially on its head, where there was a deep wound that exposed bone. It was panting heavily, while the dark creature weakly knelt down.

This time, it was really badly injured.

For this monster, death is merely a period of slumber after exhaustion. As a slumber, it will eventually awaken again. However, this does not mean that it will not be injured. If it is seriously injured, it will also need a long rest.

Above the darkness, the god, shrouded in endless light, remained unchanged. "You've lost."

The calm sound remained unchanged, as if nothing could attract its attention.

"Heh...heh heh hahahaha..."

However, upon hearing the words above, the dark creature inexplicably began to laugh, its laughter filled with arrogance, as if it were God, not it, who had lost.

He stood up unsteadily, glancing at the sky above. The aura of the dark creature was constantly rising. Although it was below the gods, its arrogance was still above the gods.

"As expected, a bug is a bug... If it were a god in the past, it would never have said such a thing. Having gained the feelings of a bug, it has also begun to think like a bug. Heh heh, it can't even understand why I did this."

A sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

With its voice, everything that had been destroyed in the battle between the two, the earth that had been shattered by the serpent's actions, and the lives that had died, all began to coalesce again under the control of some immense will.

The landscape was rebuilt, the dead were brought back to life... and everything seemed as if it had never happened.

"Since I have lost, I will return everything I have swallowed to you. Indeed, even a mere insect with enough power should not be underestimated... But, little insect that is trying so hard to maintain the majesty of a god, I will make a prophecy here: one day you will be swallowed by me."

Laughing wildly, the body of the dark creature disintegrated.

It was merely a thought of the great serpent. Now that its mission was complete, it naturally returned to its original form. As for whether the gods would be angered by its words, it had no worries at all.

As it said, an insect with the power of a god is still just an insect, but it understands humans very well. It knows exactly what humans are thinking and whether humans will be enraged by it.

The more God resembles humanity, the easier it is for God to be controlled by Him.

In that frozen spacetime, it once brought even the gods to a standstill, not because it was stronger than the gods, but because the gods' minds were becoming more and more like those of humans, and the great serpent that could control all things could naturally also control humans.

Therefore, even if Metatron's body can be controlled by its will, its mind can still perceive in a static world, while the gods cannot. When the gods become more and more like humans, that is when the gods are devoured by it.

The god, shrouded in light, remained silent as he gazed upon the great serpent, now slumbering once more deep within the earth.

"Insects...?"

God stretched out his hand and looked at his fingers. At the tip of his finger was a bleeding wound. The wound was not large, but it was unusually glaring.

Can an omniscient and omnipotent being be injured? At least God has never been injured, but it was injured, just like any other mortal being.

Its power has not weakened at all; it still possesses omnipotent power. But it seems... something has changed, to the point that it, which was not supposed to be injured, is now injured. Is it because it has acquired human emotions?
Confusion, unprecedented confusion.

God is not confused; God is all-knowing. God is confused because God wants to be confused, not because God is confused. Only mortals are confused, but at this moment, it is confused.

"Satan..."

For some inexplicable reason, God spoke unconsciously, and then suddenly became alert.

It always called the serpent Raziel, because in its eyes, both good and evil were its messengers, that is, angels. Raziel was the angel who tested humanity. But at this moment, it unconsciously called the serpent Satan, the enemy of God.

Does God have enemies? No, unless... God is no longer God.

In a flash, God realized that He was no longer the omniscient and omnipotent being. In the Crystal Palace, He made a pact with humanity to no longer destroy the world. When all the omniscient and omnipotent beings from other times and spaces came to stop Him, He denied all the gods of the past, future, and present, and denied their omniscience and omnipotence.

From then on, the god lost his divine throne.

However, the words of the omniscient and omnipotent one are predetermined. The omniscient and omnipotent one said that the serpent is Raziel, an angel testing mankind, so all mortal things will be tested by the serpent... including God who is no longer God.

God's gaze pierced through time, looking straight at that certain point in time... that God who was making a covenant with humanity in the Crystal Palace, that God who denied everything—past, future, and present—denied his omniscience and omnipotence, yet was also the only omniscient and omnipotent being.

He dwells eternally in that fixed time, remaining in time by His will. Thus, His time no longer flows forward. And because of this, there is no omniscient and omnipotent being in the past, future, or present, because that omniscient and omnipotent being has not traveled to any other time. All the gods in all other times are merely its images and illusions.

"Is this your will?"

God remained silent.
