Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 299 Believe in Hope
From that tiny dot, countless eyes were fixed on the Creator.

God smiled, about to speak, but a violent aura swept through this infinitely dark and silent void.

"Click..."

The torn void expanded rapidly, and a huge, magnificent, and incredible thing emerged.

Covered in scarred scales, with menacing white teeth and crazed vertical pupils, its massive, imposing head shook as it broke through the void, emerging from that yet-to-be-born world.

Within its gaping maw, a faint light could be seen—the remains of an entire world.

That universe, from the moment of its Big Bang, before it even had a chance to grow to a range of trillions of light-years, had already fallen into the monster's mouth.

The light fell and disappeared into the monster's mouth.

In the void, the monster, dragging its magnificent body that was hundreds of millions of miles long, finally descended upon this world once again.

Even gods seem infinitely small in the face of this mad monster.

God stopped speaking, and with a wave of his hand, the small dot disappeared involuntarily.

After that brief moment of eye contact, the Creator and the Creator had no further interaction.

The mad and violent monster's eyes shot out purple light, and its scales all over its body burst open, standing upright like swords and halberds.

"Roar!!!"

The monster had no interest in lingering; roaring, it savagely charged at the god blocking its path.

God then stretched out his only remaining arm, and the immense power that exploded from his fingertips blasted towards the monster.

The power that erupted from those fingertips was beyond human imagination; even if the power of the entire Big Bang were gathered into it, it would still be nothing more than that.

And this is just one finger.

From that fingertip, a power like light pierced through the monster's body, blasting open a huge wound.

The monster was forced to retreat by the enormous impact, but this only made the purple light in its eyes intensify.

"What right does a weak god have to defy me!"

Roaring, the monster, ignoring its severe injuries, charged forward once more. Its gaping maw lunged straight at the deity.

God was about to retaliate, but it was too late.

Under the overwhelming aura of fury, the light enveloping the god dimmed, and with no chance to resist, the god was swallowed by the monster.

"A monster that is never satisfied..."

Before being swallowed up, the god's mocking voice rang out, but it was only drowned out by the monster's roar.

After swallowing the god, the monster swung its tail and headed towards another dimension.

……

The Seventh Heaven, the Moon Heaven.

In the heavens, the realm closest to the human world, angels are inspecting all aspects of human life.

Suddenly, an angel frowned.

"What happened? Has the future been disrupted?"

Who is interfering with how the world works?

"Go quickly and report to the Archangel..."

Soon, Gabriel, the monarch of the Moon, became aware of all this.

Under its gaze, the future is being destroyed by some unknown force. If it were just a simple apocalypse, it wouldn't be so bad, but this is the disappearance of spacetime itself.

“What happened in the future?”

Gabriel dared not delay and leaped toward the Crystal Heaven, attempting to seek insight from the gods.

When it arrived at the Crystal Heaven, it found that all the archangels had already arrived, and on the throne of the Crystal Heaven, the figure of God became more and more ethereal, as if he might disappear at any moment.

"what happened……"

Gabriel was horrified.

Not only Gabriel, but all the archangels are like this.

But God knew.

"I have lost. You may all go your separate ways."

With a wave of his hand, the elusive god sent the angels of heaven crashing down to earth before they could even react.

The consciousness that had been obscured gradually awakened, and according to their hazy memories, each found its corresponding place of origin and formed its own pantheon.

But all of this did not last long. The monster, which traveled back from the end of time and space, devoured everything, swallowing all of time and space into its belly.

And those disheveled little dots traverse this old world.

The snake devoured the entire timeline, with the ends of spacetime falling into its belly. At this point, the snake's goal was no longer even to swallow the small insects; it now wanted to devour the entire world to fill its own stomach.

Hunger, endless hunger.

They wanted to devour more, to fill their bellies, but the more they ate, the hungrier they felt.

Why can't it be filled?
why! ! !
Hungry, insane, and greedy monsters surged upstream.

As Xiaodian hurriedly passed through a space-time continuum, the gluttonous monster followed closely behind without hesitation, attempting to break through the continuum, but suddenly encountered an obstacle.

One finger.

A slender finger appeared on the thin barrier of spacetime, pressing against the snake's magnificent and enormous head.

Although completely disproportionate, this single finger prevented the rampaging monster from advancing even an inch.

"Go back, this is not a place for you, future serpent."

He said in a low voice.

Behind that time-space barrier lies a world submerged in a great flood.

Beneath the gloomy sky, people waited in despair on the ark, while the omnipotent God, who had made a pact with all living beings of the past, future, and present, sat high on his throne.

But unlike other constantly flowing and advancing spaces and times, this world is forever frozen in time.

The omniscient and omnipotent one neither advances nor retreats, but remains eternally stationary in this one space-time.

He did not interfere with the affairs of other timelines, but simply watched the chessboard change, remaining unmoved even when the chessboard was about to be completely smashed by a snake.

However, there are some things that He also has to do, namely the promise He made.

Neither gods nor demons can transcend time and space, nor can they foresee the future.

This is part of the agreement.

The gods of other timelines all failed to stop the serpent's rampage, but the timeline of the omniscient and omnipotent one remained unaffected.

If you can't pass, you can't. Everything else can, but you can't. This road is blocked.

The meaning conveyed by that finger is simple, yet unshakeable.

However, the monster, consumed by hunger and madness, disregarded everything, and its body emitted terrifying explosions.

"Get out of my way!!!"

Its vertical pupils were ferocious, and its dark purple body exploded, with countless scales bombarding the finger.

No one can stop me; I am the strongest and invincible.

Whatever the reason, this inexplicable confidence was so unwavering, as if it were a matter of course for the monster.

However, no matter how many scales impacted it, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, the finger remained firmly in place, and no matter how great the impact, it could not be moved in the slightest.

This only further enraged the monster.

The power within the monster's body is growing ever stronger. If someone were to observe it, they would discover that the monster's power is increasing by hundreds or even thousands of times.

Within the monster's body, there seemed to be an inexhaustible source, constantly providing an inexhaustible source of power.

This force was so immense that even the monster's body could not withstand it, causing it to be repeatedly destroyed and reborn.

So the monster instinctively opened its maw, and the endless power within it finally found an outlet, rushing towards the spacetime barrier in front of it.

"..."

Amidst the impact of boundless power, countless dimensions of space and time trembled, and the raging force shook every scale of space and time.

This power is so immense that it is beyond imagination, larger than infinite space and time, and higher than any god.

The aftershocks of this force instantly annihilated those end-time spaces that had not yet been completely destroyed.

Behind the monster lay the infinite void, while before it lay that fragile and insignificant world.

Once this fragile and insignificant world is destroyed, the upstream spacetime hidden behind this spacetime will lose its protection and will be completely destroyed.

Under this impact, the tiny finger was directly swallowed up by the infinite power, and this frozen spacetime was completely submerged.

As the force gradually dissipated, the finger remained standing there, unwavering in the slightest.

In the void, the enraged monster continued its relentless attacks.

After a long while, the monster's ferocious pupils remained, but it let out a long, unwilling cry.

"Roar!!!!!!"

……

Within the frozen spacetime, the omniscient and omnipotent being gazes at the chessboard before him.

This is already an endgame. Both the black king and the white king have exhausted all their pieces, leaving only the black king, the white king, and a gray pawn with an unclear stance on the board.

In this situation, no one can win anymore.

The entire spacetime has been reduced to this short segment, from the birth of the world to the arrival of the Great Flood.

It seems like a dead end, with no room for maneuver. Neither the black king nor the white king has any pieces left to win.

However, the gray soldier continued to advance with difficulty; it was the last variable on the chessboard, the final struggle.

If a soldier reaches the end and becomes the strongest piece on the board, the Queen, it may be able to control the final outcome of the game.

However, regardless of the soldiers' fate, it was no longer relevant to the Black and White Kings; they had already lost.

"In the end, did we all lose?"

The omniscient and omnipotent being examined the mess before him and seemed to laugh.

……

This is an ancient era, an era of myths.

In the heavens dwell angels and gods, who patrol the world and plan its order. On earth live monsters and serpents, lurking beneath the earth, oblivious to the dust-like civilizations that inhabit them. In the sea, the steam-powered serpent people thrive, ruled by King Unogaya and the serpent woman. This nascent civilization, though its glorious future is already foreseeable, is under the joint rule of King Unogaya and the serpent woman.

On the earth, a civilization called Atlantis was gradually taking shape. These humans, still in the tribal era, were ignorant but full of hope.

At that moment, a tiny dot from the future landed in a farmer's house.

The gods noticed all of this, as did the demons, but they only glanced at each other briefly before paying no further attention.

The things of the future will ultimately remain just that—things. Since they haven't violated any rules, there's nothing worth paying attention to.

Although I was quite curious about why mortal beings would travel to this future world, but...

"What does the future have to do with me?"

The snake ignored all of this; the arrogant and conceited monster didn't care about such a trivial matter and would rather rest.

God may be interested, but He has no intention of prying into the future.

What puzzled God was that, for some reason, he seemed to have some kind of restriction on him, and was no longer so free to do as he pleased.

"strangeness……"

For the first time, the no-longer-omnipotent God had doubts.

In that farmer's house, the crying baby was held tightly in the arms of the farmer's wife, who kept comforting him.

Meanwhile, in the infant's mind, tiny dots of information are still having their final discussions.

"We can't survive in this old world..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as our civilization is passed down, the medium is not important."

"But can they win in our place? We've given them too little time, less than ten thousand years to develop..."

"Let's believe, let's believe in these innocent children... We have failed, but they may not fail. If they don't succeed once, they'll try again; if they don't succeed twice, they'll try three times... They can keep trying, using this as a base in this world that monsters cannot penetrate, and keep trying again and again..."

"Although it will be a very long time, so long that mathematics loses its meaning, one day we will defeat that monster..."

"So believe, for only by believing can there be hope..."

In the end, all life ceased; information was ultimately just information, unable to unfold into those living beings.

The peasant woman holding the baby was unaware of all this; she was simply comforting the child who was crying inexplicably.

On this land where there are few people and many animals, every child is precious and is the hope for the future. When they grow up, they will write their own stories.

The peasant woman hummed a song softly, coaxing her child to sleep.

The baby continued to cry, still confused.

"Wow wow..."

In the vast wilderness, the faint sound of a baby crying could be heard.

Further afield, birds take flight, cattle and horses gallop, and herdsmen sing songs... all living things are growing and moving forward with vigor towards an unknown future.
