Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 302 The World It Created
In the void, there was only one being that was neither light nor light, indescribable, moving on the water.

One of the beings was turning the pages of a book, seemingly reading quietly, while the other hand held a glowing sphere.

The pitch-black water was like an abyss, concealing all those who tried to peer into it; no one knew what lay beneath.

However, accompanied by a "splashing" sound, a huge monster's head emerged from the water. The monster, with its vertical, scarlet pupils, shook its head, seemingly somewhat confused.

"Heartless beast, congratulations, you're back."

The illusory spirit continued turning the pages of the book in its hand, speaking quietly.

The giant serpent didn't speak, but simply shook its head, staring at the illusory spirit before it with some confusion.

Strange, although he looks exactly like the omniscient and omnipotent being, he doesn't seem like him at all. Instead, there's a strange sense of familiarity about him.

This sense of familiarity...

The snake's vertical pupils contracted slightly; it had realized something.

How long have I been here?

"Soon, only a moment had passed since I was about to create the world, or rather, 202 plot points."

"what have you done?"

The giant serpent could sense that the many dimensions of time and space that it had swallowed seemed to have vanished.

"I didn't do anything, I just completed the creation."

The indistinct deity stopped what it was doing and spoke calmly.

The snake stared at him, its vertical pupils cold and indifferent.

It doesn't care what the illusory spirit says; it doesn't care why the illusory spirit now says that creation is complete.

It only knows one thing.

The guy in front of me stole the food from my stomach.

So far, only two gods have stolen a sun from the belly of a serpent, and then they died.

And now, another creature has stolen something from the snake's belly—this time, it's multiple timelines.

"give me back."

Just like when he confronted Thor, the snake did not directly use force, but simply said indifferently.

"Back to you?"

The illusory spirit asked a question in return, somewhat strangely.

Why should I give you the world I created?

"..."

The snake didn't speak, but its indifferent gaze showed that it completely disregarded the illusory spirit's words.

But the illusory spirit was clearly not afraid.

It simply looked at the ball of light in its hand and exclaimed in admiration.

"How wonderful! The world I wanted to create will end up like this? I thought it would be a battle between gods and demons in the two realms of heaven and earth, but it turned into a vast universe of stars. And because of my single thought, I even fell from the throne of omnipotence."

"Even so, the final victor is neither a god nor a demon, but a tiny, insignificant being..."

The no longer absolute deities were praising.

Looking at the ball of light in his other hand, he could vaguely see layers of spacetime and cause and effect within that small ball of light.

Rigorous logic, complex settings, and exquisite craftsmanship.

“It’s really wonderful.”

The illusory spirit exclaimed in sincere admiration.

Its gaze seemed to penetrate everything, seeing the all-knowing and all-powerful being of the Great Flood era, and the God who was deep in thought.

The omniscient and omnipotent and God both felt this gaze.

"ended."

The illusory spirit, having successfully created the world according to its own ideas, smiled.

"ended."

The omniscient and omnipotent being, who was watching the chessboard and seeing the black king being kicked off, nodded slightly.

The final result was a draw, but that doesn't matter. It was indeed a brilliant and unpredictable game, and that's enough.

Having said that, the omniscient and omnipotent one disappeared.

Only God watched all this with a complicated expression.

Humanity ultimately perished, and as a benevolent god who deeply loved the world it created, it was somewhat resentful of this outcome.

However, the replacement of the old humans by the new humans is not so bad in a certain sense.

Finally, God sighed softly and nodded as well.

"ended."

The god vanished as particles of light and fell into a long slumber.

Whether satisfied or not, all three, originating from the same source, have achieved a result that satisfies them.

At this point, the sphere of light no longer contains any omniscient or omnipotent being, god, demon, or any being beyond the cosmos itself.

The sphere of light seemed to sense the prying eyes from beyond the world. The world, which was originally as clear as reading on the palm of your hand, was instantly covered by a thick veil, making it impossible to see through its interior.

The ball of light vanished from the illusory spirit's palm in the next instant.

Thus, the multiverse, which had been annihilated by the omniscient and omnipotent being with a single thought, and whose only spacetime had also disappeared, was left with only this small corner.

The illusory spirit disagreed.

"But the world I created ultimately refused to be seen by me. What a rebellious child! How should I put it? As expected of a being who defeated monsters... What do you say, snake?"

As he spoke calmly, the illusory spirit looked at the giant serpent.

The giant serpent did not answer, but simply looked at the god before it, as if it had been thinking about something from the very beginning.

Surprisingly, this time it did not attack. Instead, after a moment of thought, it fell back into the water, as if it intended to go to sleep.

However, there is one entity that has no intention of ending there.

"But if that means we're forced to stay outside this world, enduring endless hunger, is that alright?"

The deity asked with great interest.

"..."

The monster that had submerged in the water closed its eyes and remained silent.

"Aren't you interested in the plot points I'm talking about? These are things that relate to the ultimate truth of everything."

"..."

"Aren't you curious about what's written in this book I'm holding?" "..."

"Don't you want to know how you ended up losing so inexplicably?"

This statement seemed to have offended the snake.

The snake opened its eyes, and the monster with scarlet vertical pupils stared at the god.

Then, a strange, mocking smile appeared on the inhuman head, as if it were mocking something.

"so what."

The monster mocked the god before it with unrestrained arrogance.

As it spoke, the snake stretched out its long, magnificent body, lazily coiling itself in the dark water.

It seems that it is completely uninterested in what the creator has to say.

To remain forever outside this world, enduring hunger? The ultimate truth? The contents of that book?

What's there to care about?
As for the fact that it was ultimately defeated by a group of small insects, even the giant snake found it inexplicable, but in the end, it did indeed lose.

A loss is a loss; there's no point in arguing about it.

The monster's greed is insatiable, but it doesn't care at all about those inexplicable truths. Only tiny insects would bother with such things, worrying all day about what is true and false, what is gained and lost.

For it, eating when it's full, sleeping when it's hungry, eating again when it's hungry, and then sleeping again—that's all it does.

As for any gods, heroes, or insects that keep you from getting in your way and bother you all day long, just kill them and eat them first.

the truth?

Who cares about the truth?
It doesn't care anyway.

The god, who had been rebuffed, was not angry. As if he had expected it, he just chuckled and looked down at the book in front of him again.

After God finished reading one page, He finally turned to the next.

With God's actions, a strange change suddenly occurred in this tiny corner of the multiverse.

The snake, which had been sleeping, suddenly opened its eyes, and its scales, which resembled human ears, trembled slightly.

Beyond this world, in the previously empty void, some reactions suddenly appeared. Accompanying these strange reactions, it seemed something was awakening…

"The plot has turned to the next page. Have the gods from beyond the realm awakened as well...? After all, it's just destruction, not a permanent ban on birth. Otherwise, things would be troublesome..."

The illusory spirit did not look up, but spoke softly.

Beyond this small void, the spacetime that was once destroyed by the omniscient and omnipotent is slowly recovering.

Although the omniscient and omnipotent being destroyed all spacetime except this world, destruction was not the end. When fate reached a certain point, as if by prior agreement, the vanished spacetime was reborn.

"Outsider, you may leave now. There is no food here that you need. Go to the outer world and find what you desire."

The Creator looked at the book before him and said this.

As the giant serpent sensed the worlds that had been re-formed, it raised its head and looked down at the tiny, illusory spirit before it.

"leave?"

The giant snake revealed a very human-like smile, but its ferocious teeth were particularly terrifying.

"Of course I'll leave..."

The Creator, who was reading a book, remained unmoved, simply waving his hand to signal the serpent to leave.

But the next moment, it suddenly saw something in the book, and its expression of surprise changed. The hand it was raising suddenly made a gesture of resistance.

However, it was too late. The snake was faster than the creator had realized, and there was no time for the creator to resist before the snake's jaws snapped at the creator god.

"Roar!!!!"

His ferocious pupils were filled with rage.

go?
You think you can just let me go after stealing my food?
It's not that easy!

The monster was greedy and arrogant, but never stupid. Until just now, it was unsure of the creator's abilities, whether it could win or not, so it unusually chose to remain silent and observe.

And just now, it was confirmed that even though this creator god could create an omniscient and omnipotent absolute god above it, it itself is still not invincible.

If that's the case, then why should I leave?
Why not just eat you to make up for the stolen food?

Is there nothing left in this world that snakes need?
wrong!

There is another thing in this world that the snake desires, and that is the creator god!

Come obediently into my belly!

Its jaws snapped shut, but it felt as if it had bitten into an indestructible rock; even its usually invincible fangs had met their match.

His scarlet pupils glowed brightly, and ignoring his grinding teeth, he insisted on biting down.

"Click..."

"Humph……"

Amidst the sound of fangs breaking, the creator god also let out a muffled groan.

"Stubborn fool!"

The creator god was enraged like never before, and one of its hands was bitten off by the monster in front of it.

The once composed deity revealed a terrifying aspect, unleashing countless beams of white light from its severed hand, which erupted from the snake's mouth.

Countless beams of light pierced through the snake's head and body. Its sturdy and powerful body was completely unable to resist the power of the white light and was instantly blasted through countless large holes.

Even so, the snake's greedy nature still wouldn't allow it to let go of the food in its mouth. Enduring the excruciating pain, it swallowed it cleanly and decisively.

then……

They fled directly towards the outer reaches of the realm!

The reason is simple: the serpent realized that although it was not invincible, the creator god was not so weak either.

This guy seems pretty strong. I might not be able to beat him.
Never mind, I'll just bite one of its hands and run away.

The creator god, who was trying to stop this greedy monster, was unable to do so due to his injuries and could only watch helplessly as the monster, having succeeded in his attack, escaped.

At the spot where God's arm was severed, a striking white wound appeared.

The illusory spirit stared intently in the direction the monster had fled.

"I have to say... he truly lives up to his reputation as that monster."

"However, you seem to have never realized that you've been moving against time all along."

God's arm grew back from his wound.

But compared to this monster, there is another monster that deserves more attention: the insatiable monster that ultimately devoured everything yet still could not satisfy its hunger.

After all, it's almost here.

On the dark water, in this place where time has no effect, the illusory spirit gazes at the spot where the great serpent disappeared and waits once more.
