Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 255 This universe is vast
"Father, you have finally woken up."

A hoarse female voice appeared in my ear.

The hunger in my stomach did not lessen; in fact, it became even more intense after swallowing the star.

why?
Long ago, it remembered that it only needed one sun to be satisfied; even further back in time, it would have been satisfied with just swallowing a ship; but now, it has swallowed an entire universe and a star, yet it is still not satisfied at all.

My hunger is growing and my appetite is increasing.

The giant serpent neither understood nor cared to understand; throughout its long history, it never pondered such troublesome matters.

"I'm hungry."

A deep voice resonated in the heart of the pale-skinned girl.

Yes, it is hungry, it is very hungry now, and it has only truly awakened twice since the beginning of creation.

Once, during the covenant between God and Man, it noticed God's corruption and attempted to devour it, but failed. Another time, during the second creation, God broke his promise, so it no longer needed to care about anything. As a result, it only managed to gnaw on one of God's hands and failed, turning itself into a planet in the new world.

At other times, it simply lies dormant, letting its surfacing thoughts engage in a game of chess with the gods, or even attempt to awaken its true form.

Some ideas are executed very successfully, even causing God to fall from his omniscience and omnipotence; others are very unsuccessful, even resulting in being shot in the head by a mortal; but without a doubt, they are all indeed a part of oneself.

Would I really lose so miserably?
The snake was somewhat puzzled, but not too concerned. It didn't care about that, after all, it had eventually awakened. It was simply too hungry. It hadn't eaten anything in the long years since creation, and now, this deep hunger was urging it on.

“Father, I have prepared everything you need for victory.”

The girl prayed silently.

After the new world was reshaped, she was forced into the remnants of the old world and fell into a deep sleep, only to awaken a thousand years ago and arrive in this universe.

However, her own power was not enough to awaken the serpent, so she activated the psychic potential within the human.

Psychic energy is a symbol of the imperfections of the new world and a remnant of the old world. The more vigorous the psychic energy, the more active the aura of the old world becomes, and the more active the old world is, the more power she can exert.

Finally, at this moment, the giant serpent was awakened.

During this time, she also helped humanity build a network of warp channels. The warp channels themselves are not harmful; at most, traversing the warp is dangerous. However, a vast warp channel network means that the "speed of light," which God deliberately limited, is no longer a limitation.

At this moment, any human being on any planet can connect via the subspace route, and the interference from gods and demons is no longer subject to any rules.

In this new world where there are no bets and no omniscient beings, her father is no longer subject to any restrictions.

"Do not devour anything, for nothing in this world belongs to you," "Do not interfere in the affairs of the world"... Indeed, long ago, Orochi made some bets with the Omniscient and Omnipotent One, but the Omniscient and Omnipotent One does not exist in this new world, and all these agreements only take effect in the old world.

Now, if she so desired, her father could infect all of humanity at any time, then reverse the universe, overturn the new world into the old, rewrite the world, and thus achieve complete victory. This is not cheating; the serpent's actions have never truly violated the agreement. It was the gods' breach of the agreement that created this new world, within which all actions are justified.

Now, no one can stop her father.

"Father, please accept the spoils of your victory."

The girl smiled; after all these long years, she had finally been able to help her father in some way.

however……

Her response was a silent calm.

"so what."

Unexpectedly, the serpent's deep voice rang out.

He looked up, staring at the enormous, boundless serpent before him, a hint of astonishment in his deathly white pupils.

Why should I strive to win?

The deep voice sounded again.

……

“My daughter, the result of the victory is that God promised to restore that infinite spacetime, allowing me to leave this small and boring world. But isn’t this universe vast?”

The giant serpent slowly lowered its head, its enormous head, resembling a giant planet, coming close to the girl's body.

A deep voice sounded. The girl's figure, and the astonishment on her pale face, were clearly reflected in those large, calm pupils, as still as a lake.

As the great serpent said, the universe is vast.

Neither the Norse mythological universe nor the biblical world created by God is actually very large.

The human world in the Norse mythology universe and the continents in the Old World of the Bible are only the size of a planet; the World Tree is large and the Seven Heavens are high, but they are no larger than this solar system.

Rather than creating an infinitely vast universe, both Odin, who established the World Tree, and God, who created the Old World, preferred to create a sophisticated and orderly universe. A cold, lifeless universe containing only planets was not what they desired.

This material universe was created by God at the cost of his eternal slumber, and therefore it is extremely vast.

Although the Earth, which the giant serpent transformed into, is large, the sun in this universe is 33 times the size and mass of the Earth; although such a sun is large, there are 2000 billion such suns in the entire Milky Way galaxy; although the Milky Way galaxy is large, there are more than 1 trillion Milky Way galaxies in the entire universe...

The Earth is but a grain of sand on the beach compared to the Sun, the Sun is but a drop of water in the ocean compared to the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is but a speck of dust in the solar system compared to the universe.

In terms of destructive power, Orochi does not believe he would lose to God, but in terms of the power of creation, Orochi is far inferior to God.

The serpent despised the fallen god, but it never despised that power.

That power belonged to the cause of all things, and only Orlaug, whom it had briefly come into contact with, could compare to it. It was omnipotent and all-powerful, the "doer of all desires." Even as a fallen god, no longer omnipotent, it was still an extremely powerful force.

When the Great Serpent was human, he often had fantasies about protagonists who were invincible across the planets and believed that they had surpassed the entire "world." However, one should know that the "world" was merely a tiny planet among the stars.

"This universe is vast enough to satisfy my hunger."

The voice spoke.

The girl didn't speak again. Although she was a little down, she was still willing to obey her father.

"As you wish, my father."

In the vast expanse of space, an enormous serpent coiled, gazing at the countless nebulae before it, before heading into the distance.

There lie the stars that the great serpent craves, and at the very end lies the supermassive black hole at the very center of the Milky Way...

As the great serpent said, "This universe is vast," enough for it to satisfy its endless hunger. And once it has completely devoured this universe spanning trillions of light-years, it will not need the consent of the gods; it too will possess near-omniscience and omnipotence.

……

Meanwhile, within the solar system, the interstellar humans piloting their spaceships watched as the colossal creature and the tiny girl seemed to exchange something. Then, the girl stood on the giant serpent's back, while the serpent drifted away into the vast expanse of space.

Watching the enormous creature disappear into the distance, a sense of relief washed over everyone, and they couldn't help but feel at ease. Fortunately, the enormous creature hadn't noticed them.

"This news must be reported to the Second Republic immediately!"

At this moment, this was the only thought in everyone's mind.

……

Ten minutes later, at the center of the Second Republic, the Ringworld.

"A wild beast? That's ridiculous."

Upon receiving the data and images, the commander of the Second Republic's space fleet chuckled softly.

In his view, it was just a wild beast. No matter how powerful it was, it was still just a wild beast. Wild beasts die, and there was nothing that a hundred million planet-destroying weapons couldn't solve. If there was, then he would just add another hundred million.

It's no wonder he's so confident. In this era, the Second Republic has an innumerable population, an innumerable army, and an innumerable technology. There's nothing the Second Republic can't do in the entire galaxy.

Although this was a colossal, stellar-sized behemoth that had never been discovered before and was capable of operating in space, the commander was convinced that it would be reduced to elementary particles in the face of the Second Republic's fleet.

However... in places he couldn't see.

Above that invisible interface, in a place that only the most powerful psionicists can vaguely perceive, an invisible entity, referred to by psionicists as the "Great Will," is vigilantly gazing in a certain direction.

Humans may forget, but it, as the collective consciousness of all humanity, will not forget.

Deep in its memory, it always remembered it.
