Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 650, Section 18: The Material Star Sea Can Only Have One Glutton – A Battle Between Two Generations of Big Eaters

The commotion caused by the Devourer of All Realms stepping into the Star Sea was enormous.

This guy used phase collapse to clear a path, basically sweeping through everything in his way, charging into the edge of the star system where Draenor was located in a "pig-like charge".

To be honest, if it weren't for Diakum, Dimensius wouldn't have bothered coming to this barren and desolate place.

As a veteran Void Lord and a "destructive gourmet" who savors all things in the cosmos, the Devourer of Realms is picky about its food. It doesn't bother with worlds that aren't particularly "nutritious."

The main reason is that our strength level has reached this point.

Devouring ordinary planets was hardly enough to satisfy Dimensius's insatiable appetite, but as a glutton, he had to keep eating. This caused him to wander through the sea of ​​matter and send out his thousands of echoes in search of rare "delicacies".

In this peripheral star system where Draenor is located, it is simply impossible for a world capable of attracting the Devourers of All Realms to be born.

To put it more bluntly.

Once it reaches the level of Dimensius, it will devour those worlds that are nurturing star souls!
Only the strongest individuals born naturally in that material star sea can provide the Devourer of All Realms with more precious power, propelling it to find a rare solace on this increasingly difficult path of the Glutton.

It's hard to say how many juvenile star souls this guy has devoured over the years, but judging from how well it lives and its several escapes from Sargeras's sword, it must have indeed tasted the flavor of star souls.

This also proves that the number of star souls in the material universe is not as rare as mortals imagine.

In short, when the Devourer of All Realms tore through the phases and stretched out its terrifying and enormous body in this edge of the star field, for a moment, even the light from the stars dimmed.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

General Jaid, who was directing the fleet in pursuit of the demon starship, stood up from his command chair the moment he saw the terrifying thing appear.

Suppressing his fear, he shouted to the starship's pilots:

"Notify all starships to immediately evacuate this star system!"

No wonder those demons were retreating into the sea of ​​stars earlier; those guys must have predicted something was wrong! The demons' starship detectors weren't any better than the Naru starships, so they knew in advance that this terrifying thing was coming!
Did they summon this thing?

A bunch of demons summoned a void creature? What kind of absurd demonic joke is this?

Jaid himself didn't believe his own conclusion, but the Burning Legion's early retreat seemed to indicate that his worst guess had come true.

Did the demons really cooperate with the void creatures?
The goal is to destroy Draenor?
Do not!
Their target, whom they joined forces to deal with, was their own brother, Diakum.

"Damn it!"

Jaid slammed his fist on the armrest.

Through the flagship's observation devices, he clearly saw the scene where, after the enormous void monster, as big as a star, appeared, the demon starship, which was too close to escape in time, was pulled and "sucked" into the monster's body.

The fleet of seven fel-hunting ships was pulled by an invisible hand toward the location where Dimensius appeared. The terrifying behemoth was like a Voidwalker magnified a thousand times. Its body was formed by purplish-black energy, and the remnants of the worlds that had been devoured and destroyed surrounded its arms, torso, and shoulders.

A “void crown” made of some strange substance hangs behind the behemoth’s head.

Dimensius, as the most powerful individual born among the Voidwalkers, is a true "racial god" and leader of the race. His body not only contains surging tides of powerful void energy, but also strange and mysterious light from fallen stars that has sculpted a "miniature star sea" within its floating energy.

At the center of this creature's abdomen is a "bright black hole" resembling the "Genesis".

A deep blue energy swirled around the cross-shaped point, resembling the profound workings of a galaxy, but Jaid immediately sensed something was amiss.

The energy existing in Dimensius's abdomen looked exactly like the "creation power" that only a Star Soul possesses.

Yes!

That thing looks exactly like the primordial light they wore when they activated and strengthened themselves using the Heart of Argus! Is that the last remnant of the Star Soul that Dimensius devoured?
This guy is really something.
"An anomaly has appeared in the gravitational field! General, our fleet is being dragged into Dimensius's gravitational field; it's trying to 'devour' us this way!"

The starship's technician screamed.

Meanwhile, through Jaid's observation window, he clearly saw one demon starship after another being captured by the Devourer of Worlds' gravitational field, then orbiting the Devourer of Worlds, only to be eroded and dismantled by the Void Lord's thick void energy before even getting close to it.

Dimensius doesn't even need to "eat" them.

These starships couldn't even get close to this Void Lord, just as they couldn't get close to Diakum, who wielded the power of ten thousand suns.

Although lesser gods and true gods do not possess true "divine power," this exaggerated portrayal of "instant death upon contact" still makes mortals feel despair in such wars.

If you can't even get close, how can you launch an attack?
The captured fel-powered starships also desperately fired the destructive beams of their main cannons, but those extremely destructive beams and projectiles would also have all their energy drained as they approached the Devourer of All Realms.

Its ability to "eat" is already at a conceptual level; everything in the universe can serve as food.

"Break through Dimensius's gravitational pull at maximum speed, let's get out of here!"

Jaid clenched his fist and gave the order.

The Naaru on every starship were straining their engines to push the Restoration fleet against Dimensius's gravitational field, but even so, they were still desperately finding themselves "standing still."

The gravitational field of the Devourer of All Realms is becoming increasingly exaggerated.

Standing amidst the stars, it doesn't even need to make any attacking moves; it only needs to release this gravitational force to attack enemies—no, these aren't even enemies, just "appetizers" before devouring the main course.

The ants struggled to escape, but it was all in vain; no matter how hard they tried, they would be mercilessly destroyed.

As a lesser god of the Voidwalkers, the Devourer of Worlds inherited the terrible intelligence of the "blue fat guys." It is not a very intelligent lesser god, and therefore does not have much emotion left for the fools who come near it.

"The planet is moving."

The light-casting technicians piloting the spaceship issued their final observations in despair, instructing Jaid to adjust the observation direction from his command chair. They then saw the planets in this star system shaking and veering off their original orbits.

Some asteroids were even pulled toward that terrifying thing behind them in a "curved acceleration" manner.

Draenor is not a very large planet, so it was naturally unable to avoid being dragged into Dimensius's gravitational field.

However, just as the Devourer of All Realms was about to complete its evil trick, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the star.

Under the watchful eyes of Jaid and the technicians who had already begun praying for the Holy Light, golden sunlight then burst forth in the starry sea that had been dragged into chaos.

For the first time, Dimensius, who had been standing still in the sea of ​​stars since his appearance, maintaining the gravitational field of the starry sea, made a move.

It raised its exaggerated claws in a defensive stance, but was mercilessly pierced by the flying golden light in the next instant. However, the solar holy flame that should have ignited the energy of the void was absorbed by the Devourer of All Realms the moment it attached itself to it.

As if swallowing something whole, this strange and powerful creature also let out a satisfied groan.

Until the golden light exhausted its kinetic energy as it broke through Dimensius's massive body, the Vigilant turned and leaped out of the Devourer of All Realms's embrace, revealing the form of a giant of light in the sea of ​​stars.

He frowned as he stared at his "destined enemy." The three consecutive shots from the Holy Light Breaker hadn't caused any effective damage to this guy.

Hmm, that's not quite right either.

A part of Dimensius's body was indeed torn apart, but as the void energy within its exaggerated form flowed and repaired it, the torn energy body was restored in an instant.

The pain seemed to have "awakened" it.

Two dark lights ignited on the head of the body that resembled a Voidwalker. Dimensius opened his "eyes".

It saw Diakum and sensed the "Eater of Worlds" bloodline within the Vigilant, which fueled its anger.

A challenger on the path of a glutton!
More importantly, Diakum has already tasted the flavor of devouring worlds, and he has embarked on this path of no return. One day, he will complete the ultimate battle of the path of devouring with himself.

This is not even a future that these two guys can decide; it is bound to happen, and only one of them is destined to survive.

Eliminating competitors in advance is a common evolutionary strategy for all organisms, and it cannot even be called "selfish".

Diakum also felt the call of his "arch-nemesis." The "desire" flowing through his path and blood made him eager to fight. There was no need for much communication; even just a glance was enough for them to sense the killing intent between them.

Then, the Devourer of All Realms let out a low, star-like wail, and swung its claws at Diakum. The psionic energy covering its claws was compressed and shaped into even more dangerous "antimatter claws" that were powerful enough to shred anything in this sea of ​​stars.

They unleash their most powerful moves right from the start.

Other AOE skills such as Gravity Well, Gravity Reversal, and Cosmic Radiation are not worth mentioning. Those "world-devouring tricks" cannot possibly harm a life like the Vigilant.

In response to the antimatter claws that Dimensius unleashed, Diakum countered with his own signature technique.

The blinding solar fist no longer had to endure the suppression of power in this vast universe, allowing Diakum to unleash his true power without concealment.

A ball of light exploded before the eyes of all the onlookers, like a supernova bursting forth with holy light. The Eredar who dared to look directly at the light screamed and covered their eyes. They were only temporarily blinded, but the demons who looked directly at the battlefield fared much worse.

Those guys' eyes were burned out instantly.

Even the chain reaction of "purifying fire" quietly burned on their bodies, like some kind of contagion, burning the unlucky ones to death one by one, but this did not stop the powerful demons from continuing to observe this "war in the stars".

Bloodthirsty demons love this kind of intense and brutal war!

Even if the two sides currently at war are the demons' sworn enemies... Hmm, thinking about it carefully, isn't this better?
Whether it's Diakum's death or the Devourer of Worlds' death, the Burning Legion can eliminate a major threat today.

Of course, the best outcome would be for Dimensius to swallow the Vigilante and choke to death, so that the demons could cheer and celebrate the fall of both the Lightbringer and the Void Lord!

Even disregarding all those shady tactics, just witnessing such a powerful battle today is enough to make even dying worthwhile!

More importantly, Diakum's burst of power stopped Dimensius's devouring gravitational field, finally giving those unfortunate souls a chance to escape the star-sea battlefield that had become a void hell.

It's not that they don't try to eliminate the void threat!

Dark Titan, open your eyes and take a look! Do you think we demons can mess with a Void Lord of this level?
Intense holy light shone in the devouring hell shaped by the Devourer of All Realms. Ashbringer was raised, and the endless darkness that Dimensius had just cast was dispelled. The continuous release of light and heat bombarded the Void Lord's body, causing it to lose a huge amount of biological energy every second.

But this won't make it feel pain.

The hunger only intensifies due to the continuous depletion of biological energy, and the gluttonous hunger fuels Dimensius's increasingly ferocious attacks.

With each swing of its antimatter claws, a portion of Dick's heat was drawn away to supply Dimensius, while its claws tore through the space of the starry sea, carving out void collapses that shattered the universe.

The creature's enormous size and the star-destroying power it wields from devouring countless lives mean that every attack it launches is deadly. Furthermore, due to its nature as an energy being and the superior protection of a lesser god, Diakum finds it difficult to inflict a sufficiently fatal wound on Dimensius despite continuously unleashing the Holy Light of the Destroyer.

The main reason is that the Devourer of All Realms has been constantly roaming and devouring over the past tens of thousands of years, which has provided it with an almost inexhaustible supply of energy. No matter how terrible the wounds that Dick tears open, it will heal itself in a short time.

There's definitely a reason why this guy maintains the form of a blue fat cat even as a lesser god; this loose energy body prevents him from experiencing physical pain.

As for psychological attacks?

Don't be ridiculous. This guy probably doesn't even have a fully formed personality. He belongs to the most classic "blind fool" in the Sea of ​​No Light, doing everything based on instinct.

Mental spells are useless against this kind of guy.

Seven emotions and six desires?

Sorry, Dimensius doesn't have those things.

This most terrifying "glutton" in history thinks only of "eating, eating, eating" all day long. Targeting him will only make Dimensius's gluttonous appetite even more ferocious.

This was probably the first time Diakum felt he had no use for the power of Sha since obtaining it.

But that doesn't matter.

A war of attrition, is it?

When it comes to attrition warfare, the Vigilant has never been afraid of anyone!

In the course of their fierce battles, Dick keenly sensed that Dimensius's hunger had reached its peak, and that his own repeated encounters with it had drained too much of his energy.

This was the first time Dick had felt "tired" and "weak" since obtaining Anser's divine body. It seemed that the solar energy generated by the current progress of the divine body fusion was not enough to "feed" the glutton in front of him.

The sunlight dimmed.

This seemed to foreshadow the coming of night. Just as Diakum once again shattered Dimensius's antimatter claws and created distance to charge up his Solar Punch, the Devourer of All Worlds suddenly erupted.

Its claws crossed with a roar, and a small black hole was smashed out in a cross shape.

The sudden burst of gravitational pull left Diakum powerless to break free. Then, Dimensius grabbed the "fragment of the world" from his abdomen and hurled it like a dart, which struck Diakum's solar body with a deafening impact that crushed everything in its path.

A crisp shattering sound echoed through the starry sea, and all the light went out at that moment.

Then, the solar eclipse quietly arrived.

The illusion of the second sun replaced the stars in the galaxy, hanging the black sun, which had been eroded to the point of only having a pale corona, high in the sky. As a result, all the heat on the battlefield began to extinguish, including the void light of Dimensius.

The Devourer of All Realms let out a painful groan.

This was the first time it had felt unbearable pain, yet its dim eyes were filled with "desire," not just the desire to devour.

This is it!

It has been trapped at the end of the path of the gluttons for far too long.

No matter how many stars it devours, it cannot feel satisfied, and its power stagnates. It can only seek out those hidden star souls, yearning to devour them in order to further advance its life form.

But its potential to devour everything has been unleashed to its fullest extent.
It needs a bit of "Void Revelation" to open a new path for itself, but as the most powerful Void Lord in the Sea of ​​No Light, there are not many paths left for it to tread.

The solar eclipse before us, now extinguished, is absolutely perfect.

If the Devourer larva Diakum can wield such power, then it can too once it has mastered the "Taoist Way"!
It wants
eat it!
It aims to evolve from a "devourer of all realms" into an even more powerful life form.

Yes.

It aspires to be the "evil of the solar eclipse".
