Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 38 Thor and the Serpent

(To explain why the protagonist is a snake, but the book is titled "Dragon Devouring the World," it's because in the myths of various civilizations and religions, dragons and snakes are often indistinguishable; the boundary between them is always blurred, and it's acceptable to call them either. Of course, the most important reason is... my intended title, "Mortal Python," was already taken, so I had to change it.)
"Roar!!!!!"

The enormous monster, resembling an endless mountain range, opened its gaping maw and charged straight at Thor.

Although it is enormous and appears relatively sluggish, that is only in comparison to the serpent's massive size, which can cover the entire seabed when it lies down and reach directly above the clouds when it raises its head.

The powerful muscles also endowed the giant serpent with terrifying speed. A single movement could easily surpass the sound barrier, and it could traverse thousands of mountains and rivers in the blink of an eye. As a result, even the sun chariot, which raced across the sky at extreme speed, could hardly escape its pursuit and could only barely manage to flee for its life.

Its massive size, immense strength, and extreme speed combined to create an incredibly terrifying impact.

Amidst the deafening roar, the intense heat generated by the friction between countless scales and the air created a fierce display of tiny flames burning intensely on the edges of the sharp scales. From a distance, it looked as if the head of a colossal creature was covered in countless flames. Only the chilling, upright serpentine eyes were still faintly visible amidst the flames, making its already awe-inspiring and magnificent appearance even more terrifying.

The air was shrieking.

Countless wisps of air were forcibly squeezed apart by this terrifying and brutal impact, and the resulting dense and thick gas created terrifying air pressure, causing the seawater beneath them to suddenly sink deep into the depths.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!"

The seawater was being squeezed violently, and the immense pressure it created spread deep into the ocean. The heavy pressure caused the underwater mountains to break apart under the immense pressure. These fractures in the deep-sea geology then caused the fragile geological parts on the seabed to crack, and streams of molten lava instantly gushed out from the cracks, releasing incredibly hot magma.

The aftershocks alone were already so terrifying, and Thor, who was directly affected, faced an indescribable sense of oppression.

The intense wind pressure pressed down on him, the heavy weight causing his bones to creak and groan, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.

No, not just one, but ten, a hundred, a thousand!

The indescribable pressure instantly shredded his clothes, and even his exposed skin turned faintly red. In some places, the skin even tore open, oozing specks of golden blood.

The warhammer that was originally light in his hand suddenly seemed incredibly heavy, as if he were carrying a towering mountain just by holding it.

However, Thor's large and strong hands always gripped his warhammer tightly. His muscular arms were covered with clearly defined, powerful muscles, and his body, full of strength and vitality, was poised to unleash its power, displaying an indescribable beauty of strength.

His eyes were wide open, his hair stood on end, and his bloodshot pupils were bulging. He was staring at the enormous, unimaginably magnificent beast in front of him, with countless bolts of lightning surging wildly toward the warhammer he gripped tightly in his hand.

"what!!!!!!"

Roaring, countless bolts of lightning crashed down from the dark and gloomy sky, striking the warhammer and making its dazzling lightning even more blinding, its pure white light more dazzling than a thousand suns.

The warhammer, raised high in his hand, carried a surging power capable of shattering stars, and suddenly swung out, drawing a dazzling arc in the air.

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In an instant, the warhammer and the giant serpent collided, creating a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and even the sea trembled.

The clouds in the sky were also shaken apart by the impact, shattering into pieces and revealing the moon that had been hiding behind the dark clouds. However, even the moon swayed in the impact, as if it were about to fall from the sky.

The panicked stars trembled with fear, each trying to escape and flee. Some stars even ran blindly along the still-unrepaired crack in the sky, escaping into the chaotic world beyond.

Tens of millions of tons of seawater roared and howled, and were violently forced apart by the impact, revealing the deep seabed that had never seen the light of day and was hidden thousands of meters below the surface.

Countless waves of seawater surged towards the land, forming an unprecedentedly violent tsunami. Hundreds of meters high, thousands of meters high, countless in number, they roared as they surged from the sea onto the land, threatening to engulf the entire mortal world. Vida, the embodiment of the indestructible power of nature and the ruler of the endless forest, had no choice but to raise his shield and, together with the lake fairies and mountain spirits, exert all their strength to barely stop it.

"Roar!!!!!!"

The giant snake, slightly dizzy from being struck by the hammer, let out a roar born of its own pain, a loud roar that echoed throughout the dark and chaotic world.

Even the thick, mountain-like scales on its head couldn't protect it. Large swathes of scales were shattered upon impact, and its tough yet supple skin was torn apart, scattering countless drops of blood into the sea, making it look bloodied and wretched.

However, by successfully avoiding the fatal blow at the last moment, it also confirmed one thing.

"That warhammer alone is not enough to seriously injure me." The serpent endured the excruciating pain, but its mind had already confirmed one thing.

Although the injuries looked severe, with enough blood to fill a hundred lakes and enough shattered flesh to fill a hundred mountains, compared to the giant serpent's enormous size, these were merely minor injuries and nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile, a streak of light flew backwards towards the land, crashing through mountain after mountain before finally being slammed into the foot of a majestic mountain, where it finally came to a stop.

"Crash..."

Amidst the mud and rubble, Thor lay covered in blood, his condition appearing extremely dire.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed a few times, and a large amount of golden divine blood spurted from his mouth. But the next moment, he casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, propped himself up with his hands, and stood up unsteadily.

The excruciating pain in his body was a warning of his injuries, but he paid no attention to it. Instead, his eyes were filled with excitement.

“It feels so good…it feels so good!”

He took a few deep breaths and gazed into the distance at the shadowy figure of the enormous monster in the darkness. An unprecedented surge of excitement welled up within him.

He laughed loudly, his face filled with an almost ferocious joy.

It was the exhilaration and joy of finally finding a worthy opponent.

Immediately, he hugged the towering mountain beside him tightly with both hands, his feet planted firmly on the ground, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.

Countless violent bolts of lightning surged from his hands, enveloping the majestic mountain. He then exerted his strength as he tightly embraced the mountain before him.

"Aa ...

He raised his head and shouted angrily, his voice almost piercing the sky. His face and neck were covered with thick, blue veins from the exertion, and his eyes, bloodshot from excessive blood flow, looked terrifying.

And with his roar, even the seemingly unchanging Gretel began to shake under Thor's immense power...

"Boom boom boom boom..."

On the snow-covered peak of Grit, terrified deer ran about in all directions, while a sleeping black bear was awakened by the shaking beneath it and emerged from its den to investigate. Countless trees and exotic flowers trembled as they faced their impending doom.

"Crack!!!!!"

Amidst countless explosions, Thor's body was lifted off the ground, and the mountain he was clinging to, Mount Getley, also roared, lifting its deep underground body.

Thor simply pulled the entire mountain, which was over several thousand meters high, right out of the ground.

The massive mountain casts a hazy shadow upon the earth, enough to envelop a vast city of millions.

"what!"

Lifting the mountain above his head, Thor aimed at the massive shadow in the distance, roared, and swung his arms with tremendous force.

He forcefully hurled that enormous mountain, weighing countless billions of tons, at that colossal object.

"BOOM!!!!!!"

Caught off guard, the giant serpent's massive upper body, which had emerged from the sea, was struck directly by a towering mountain. Due to the immense inertia, the mountain-like body involuntarily fell into the endless depths of the sea below, its enormous form instantly splitting the entire ocean in two.

"boom!!!!!!!!"
