Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 238 I’m here to kill you
"When was it? Was it from the very beginning when you turned to God, or later? You were involved in sealing me in the statue, weren't you? Was it you who secretly leaked information to God back then, which turned my possession of Joan of Arc into a trap, hmm?"

"You were the one who tried to stop me from awakening, weren't you? Six hundred years ago, when I summoned those dark races, you secretly helped mortals move the sealed sculptures multiple times. It was like that with Leonardo da Vinci, and it was like that with Galileo. You were also involved with the Priory of Sion, weren't you? Am I right? You've come here this time to stop me too? Hehehehehehe..."

"Metatron died willingly at your hands, didn't he? Just so you could gain my trust? Hmm..."

A calm voice, yet it uttered words that sent chills down one's spine.

Unhurriedly, one secret after another was revealed in that deep voice.

The deep voice was devoid of joy or anger, merely calm, yet that excessive calmness was terrifying, far more frightening than any roar or threat.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that figure moving forward. The huge shadow cast by that radiant body was like a giant beast awakening, slowly closing in on the man in front of it with each step.

The man kneeling on one knee remained silent, but his body moved instinctively. The muscles in his back bulged slightly, and his seemingly submissive body tensed up. Although he was kneeling on the ground, he looked like a warrior ready for battle, solemn and vigilant.

One step, one step, one step...

Finally, the figure stood completely in front of the man.

In that boundless radiance, darkness reached out a hand, a hand that seemed to possess immense power, slowly extending towards itself.

It was too close, far too close. The man could almost see the entire shadow out of the corner of his eye. The muscles all over his body were taut like a bow, and any slight movement would cause the longbow to vibrate.

A hand slowly approaches.

however……

Contrary to expectations of a devastating attack, only three fingers landed on the man's head.

"But I don't care..."

He spoke in a deep voice.

The man's lowered eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his eyelids for the first time.

Standing before the kneeling man, the darkness, both beautiful and terrifying, radiated endless light. Long strands of hair spread out like a huge black curtain, while deep pupils slowly swallowed all the light like black holes.

Only at this moment did the man truly see the dark object clearly.

It wasn't that infinite radiance emanated from within it, but rather that an overwhelming power was greedily devouring everything around it. This greedy power was so strong that even light could not escape it. Everything in this material world is composed of elementary particles, but these infinite elementary particles, due to the distortion of spacetime, fell into the void. The astonishing energy released by the elementary particles as they fell into the void formed the dazzling radiance.

Therefore, it greedily devours light; therefore, it also emits infinite light, and the radiance emitted is the dying struggle of elementary particles.

Sacred, beautiful, powerful, terrifying.

In that overwhelming darkness, the man's cold face was reflected in his deep pupils.

"Yin, submit to me, serve me like Mona, and I will forgive your betrayal."

The voice seemed to possess a terrifying, bewitching charm, drawing people in irresistibly, making them believe its words and try to obey them.

“Yin, after obtaining this divine power, I realized that I will encounter many troubles in the future. Many small insects will try to stop me, and some of them will even be troublesome to me. I am far from recovering, and my true body has been starving for far too long. It is already unbearably hungry. This body has divine blood, but it is still a mortal body. I need some preparation to fully awaken my true body. I need your power.”

The vertical pupils slowly dilated, and within the dark pupils, it was as if an infinitely swirling vortex was present.

Unexpectedly, he did not shy away from his current vulnerability, as if he were talking about a trivial matter unrelated to himself.

After acquiring the power of that god, the dark entity also gained the vision of a god. It was no longer just able to break through space and time and see the past and future; it also saw something like fate or cause and effect.

The future is a part of that thing, but only a tiny part.

It could sense that it was entangled by some strange karmic connection. Without a doubt, it was the strongest, but even the strongest can be defeated.

In the immeasurable future, the strongest monster will devour the entire world, greedily consuming everything—gods, demons, heaven and earth—nothing can rival it. But those shimmering, dazzling figures will stand in its way.

Born of insects, yet transcending insects, it seems to be some kind of destined fate. Those special little insects will try to stop the monster from satisfying its appetite, which is a strange fate that is entangled with it.

Those little insects are weak, but troublesome. It needs some followers to reduce these troublesome little insects while it sleeps.

Its daughter Mona was one, and Cain, who resembled it, was another.

Her dark purple lips parted and closed.

“You and I are very similar, except that you are still clinging to that insignificant human identity… Yin, surrender to me, give up that pointless attachment, discard those insect-like traces, and I will give you everything you want. You will gain a peace and satisfaction you have never experienced before.”

That figure radiated boundless brilliance, inspiring both fear and submission in those who beheld it.

The voice was incredibly gentle, and one could even sense the pity within it.

The man could clearly sense that it wasn't lying to him; it truly didn't take his betrayal to heart. As long as he agreed, it would accept him back without any reservations.

But the man didn't answer it; instead, he remained silent and then said something inexplicable.

Do you really believe what you're saying?

Amidst that boundless radiance, the figure remained noncommittal.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No, that's not wrong."

The man answered calmly.

To be honest, he, who was not good at speaking, could not refute the words of the dark.

But he murmured to himself.

"However, a long time ago someone told me something... Don't believe anything you say."

……

"Don't believe what it says; it's all lies to achieve its goals."

In the black and white memories, the beautiful figure spoke...

His dark purple lips parted in a grin.

"Heh... Hahahaha... Did my disobedient daughter tell you that?"

The man didn't speak; he remained silent.

"Of course, I never believe what I say."

The monster's pupils contracted slightly, and it then let out a mocking chuckle.

"Language is such an interesting thing. It allowed me to lure that god into falling from omniscience and omnipotence, and it can also easily tempt countless people to believe in something that doesn't even exist, even though they hold power in their hands."

"Logic? Thought? Good and evil? Limitations? These things don't matter at all. Power is power. These little insects that can be fooled by language are really interesting."

Before Cain, the dark being shrouded in light laughed.

Perhaps in the distant past, the monster understood why the little insects believed in language so much, but now it can no longer comprehend it.

Just a few words were enough to shake that god, just a few words were enough to shake that oldest human being. Why would these little insects believe so much in the power of language?

The dark do not understand, but that does not prevent them from using language.

It possesses wisdom that ordinary people cannot understand, yet it despises wisdom. This is because insects are captivated by something called "wisdom," but they are also easily swayed by a few words. Isn't it ridiculous that insects can be swayed by a few light words?

God is like this, and so are humankind.

It's ridiculous to choose to believe in the "wisdom" of a little bug.

In response to the laughter of the dark creature, the man calmly continued.

"Why kill Lily?"

In that distant mythical era, the ancient snake people sang praises of such a great age.

In the city of Nano, the birthplace of the Serpent People, the wise King Unogaya jointly ruled the entire Serpent People civilization. Floating cities rose in the sky, bronze giants were created in the sea, and the Serpent People wizards in the mage towers explored the taboo of immortality. The eternal Serpent Witches sang hymns to the Father of the Serpent, and their graceful figures offered ethereal dances to the Father of the Serpent.

But one day, Wang went mad.

The mad king nearly destroyed the entire snake-people civilization. In the end, the surviving snake people drove the king to the earth... at least, that's how the story goes.

But is that really the case?

Where is Lily?
What about Lily, the daughter of the demon Satan and Lilith, the eternal ruler of the snake-people civilization, the kind and compassionate snake woman once praised by the snake people? Her name seems to have been deliberately forgotten.

The reason is actually quite simple: snake people have a natural tendency to obey and trust those in power. So why did they rebel in the first place? Because there was someone even more powerful than the snake woman Lily…

In that boundless radiance, a beautiful creature, seemingly both god and demon, looked down at the man before it, then its deep purple lips inexplicably smiled; it had already realized something.

"You're going to be my enemy for such a ridiculous reason?"

Faced with this blatant betrayal, the dark entity could continue to tempt him with words. If it showed even a hint of remorse, Cain would seem to choose to continue obeying him. But it had no intention of doing so.

Isn't a small, menacing insect quite interesting?

"Why kill Lily?"

The man simply repeated himself calmly.

"Do you need a reason to throw away a useless tool?"

The beautiful creature, radiating boundless brilliance, opened its arms and answered the man's question.

Bathed in that dazzling light, the kneeling man remained expressionless, his face as hard as stone, like a frozen snow mountain, utterly silent.

A deep voice said

"You're going to kill her for such a ridiculous reason?"

Accompanied by the sound, the body, which had been kneeling, slowly rose to its feet. In the radiance, the body that had been hanging low grew taller and taller... until finally standing like a towering mountain peak, lonely and austere, standing fearlessly between heaven and earth.

His gaze was fixed on the god or demon radiating boundless light before him.
"Meng, I'm here to kill you!"

There was not a trace of hesitation in his deep voice.

Upon hearing that sound, the beautiful creature, radiating boundless brilliance, opened its arms and chuckled inexplicably.

"This is not a sneak attack, but a head-on challenge. Do you think you can defeat me when I am weakened?"

"How will you know if you don't try."

He spoke in a calm voice.

"Yeah……"

As if time were fast-forwarding, the original female voice became deep and hoarse.

The tender skin is becoming firm and powerful, and the original gender characteristics of this female body are rapidly weakening, replaced by strong muscles full of power, making it even harder to tell the original gender, and instead becoming more like a genderless being.

The human in front of him was reflected in the vertical snake eyes, and his dark purple lips were parted in a grin.

"What power do tiny insects have to hinder my will?"

The only response it received was a fist that rapidly grew larger...

Boom boom boom!
Amidst the roaring waves, the magnificent temple, built since the age of mythology, collapsed.
