Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 249 Good Gods and Evil Gods? The Giant Serpent God 'Kukudar'

What is the true meaning of life? Why do we exist in this world?
This is a very philosophical question, especially since it varies greatly from person to person and from creature to creature.

However, it is clear that for Kukudal, His life was all about eating and playing.

Eating started as a way to fill one's stomach, and later evolved into a desire to eat well.

Playing started out of loneliness, but later it became simply out of boredom.

In fact, after He felt that He was powerful enough and no longer needed to worry about safety, He spent most of His time sleeping.

Therefore, every time He awakens, He will feast and have a large number of weak creatures perform for Him to please Him.

However, whether He is satisfied or not, He will eventually devour these weak creatures.

Even those who call themselves their own people, but have grown snake heads, are the same.

After all, how could a species as powerful and long-lived as Him have such weak subjects?

Besides, even if some of them were of decent size and strength, Kukudar would find them even more delicious.

So what reason is there not to eat it?

As for whether a snake needs friends in its life, Kukudar is very clear.

He doesn't need friends.

Simply because having friends often means that you will suffer.

In his weaker days, His friends were perhaps those so-called friends who would all die long after He took a nap.

During His powerful times, His friends were alright, but these friends either feared Him or harbored malice towards Him.

Even if you give unconditionally, you will eventually be betrayed.

Even before this period of slumber, Kukudar was severely injured and banished to the starry sea beyond the world due to the betrayal of his friends.

But His friends clearly underestimated His ability to recover and His potential for growth.

Therefore, in the dark sea of ​​stars, Kukudar is like a monster that devours its prey.

I've been quietly waiting for an opportunity.

In short, He doesn't remember exactly how much time has passed, only that He has fallen into a deep sleep multiple times and discovered that He is now larger than a planet.

He then finally launched his revenge against that world.

He devoured that friend, and also devoured all of that friend's followers.

Even in the end, He was still furious and crashed into that planet without regard for any cost, completely destroying the world that had given birth to Him but which He also hated!

Destroying the world would certainly vent one's anger.

However, without a world to give birth to, Kukudar fell into a state of confusion.

Where should I go?

What should I do?
The sea of ​​stars may be vast, but at that moment, Kukudar was still plunged into an unprecedented sense of confusion and loneliness.

Even at that moment, Kukudar experienced a sense of self-destruction.

But even a god as powerful as Him.

It was only at this point that He realized He couldn't even commit suicide.

No one can kill Him.

After all, the world was destroyed.

He himself certainly wanted to commit suicide.

They even used their sharp teeth to tear at their own bodies.

But it hurts so much!

Therefore, this method definitely won't work.

It has to be said that he was a contradiction; he even considered suicide, but he was afraid of pain.

In the end?

He was knocked unconscious by his own snake tail.

Yes.

He is the terrifying giant serpent god outside the square world.

As an ancient deity who controls the laws of darkness and venom.

He didn't know how he ended up in this place.

But there is one thing He knows.

He appeared on the outer edge of a life-bearing planet.

This is not His home planet, after all, His home planet was destroyed by Him long ago.

Therefore, He had no thoughts whatsoever about this world.

Especially when you know you're not dead yet.

He observed everything in the world around him in a semi-conscious state, like a person with autism.

As for the gods of this world attacking Him before?
Did they even try to drive Him away?

This is no longer of any concern to Kukudar.

He was like a shut-in in a solid room, unmoved by the noise of the outside world.

He never even paid attention to the gods who attacked him.

Yes.

He kept his eyes fixed on the interior of the life-bearing planet before him.

Watching the scenes of one weak life after another struggling to make a living.

Furthermore, during this period, He even empathized with some individuals, observing their entire lives.

How to put it... it feels just like playing a game.

He focuses his will on a particular individual, and then uses that individual's perspective to see and experience the life of a weak creature.

This was an experience He had never had before.

It even felt very novel to Him.

As for why He did this?
It was entirely because He wanted to understand weak creatures and experience the feelings of the weak.

He is trying to find the answer.

Searching for those friends, wondering why they always treat me so coldly, even betraying me.

Obviously, this answer is easy to find.

Just like the human race as it is today.

They have their own cultural understanding, such as the belief that cannibalism, even devouring subordinates and subjects, is an evil and unacceptable behavior.

True friends are not the kind of people you can summon and dismiss at will.

It's not the kind of thing that just wants to get benefits from you.

It's a place where everyone is equal, and you can even laugh and cry together.

It is an equal existence that can help you when you are in trouble, and that you can help him when he is in trouble.

Kukudar admitted it.

He never cared about the so-called culture of the insignificant, nor did he learn the knowledge of the insignificant.

However, He didn't understand this culture and perception.

They don't even agree with it.

Regardless of my friend's opinion.

But to say that He is evil, Kukudar does not agree at all.

After all, in His understanding, the world is a dog-eat-dog world, where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp. What's wrong with that?

Just like how humans kill other animals to eat, don't they?

If I am stronger than them, what's wrong with eating them?

He even remembered how those people looked so fanatical and joyful when He ate them.

Even if some don't want to be eaten by themselves, what does it matter?

Strength is everything.

I am stronger, bigger, and more capable than them.

So, if you're hungry and want to eat, isn't it a perfectly normal thing to do?

Evil as perceived by humankind?

He disagrees a hundred times.

They even seem to disdain the hypocrisy of people in the current grid world.

For example, in a dungeon, it's righteous for humans to kill monsters, and evil for monsters to kill humans.

What utter nonsense!

They even felt inexplicably annoyed that the gods of this world accepted the killing of monsters by humans as a normal way to gain power.

Race.

What a load of bullshit race.

In Kukudar's eyes, monsters are no different from humans.

To an being like Him, both humans and demons are nothing but weaklings. Since humans can gain happiness and power by slaying demons...

Then why can't it be a monster?
Should their existence be seen as a ladder for human progress?

Besides, what is a demon?

Those who are not recognized by humans and who kill humans are demons?
Is God the one that humans believe in and that can help them?

If that's the case, Kukudar is quite certain.

I'd rather be a demon god!
Kukudar hates this world.

Because this reminded Him of those despicable 'friends' who had betrayed Him.

He hated it.

So naturally, He wouldn't mind giving humanity a little shock right now.

then.

This time, Kukudar did not choose to attack the world directly, but instead chose to let his power dissipate.

And in this world, he infected all the monsters and turned them into the shape of his 'subjects'.

Thus, the grid-like world naturally underwent a so-called great change.

He wanted to see these humans, and even their gods.

Can their self-proclaimed justice defeat this 'evil' god?
obviously.

With Kukudar holding back, in all this time, these people on the ground, and even their gods, have not been able to defeat Him.

They couldn't even resist His contamination.

Humanity, in particular, has been on the verge of extinction during this period.

Will justice always prevail over evil?

Is that all?
Kukudar dismissed it with disdain.

Even He knew that the idea promoted by humans was nothing more than propaganda.

After all, if He is evil and can be defeated, then His home planet could not possibly be destroyed by Him.

Today it is today.

Kukudar is no longer angry.

They even fell silent.

He was concerned about the deaths of humans, and also about the wars on earth.

Watching those tiny creatures perish one by one.

Watching those tragic and suffering scenes of them on the verge of death.

to be frank.

At that moment, He finally seemed to understand the weak a little.

Justice and evil, even their ideals and beliefs.

It's just a slogan shouted by these weak people to numb themselves and to unite their kind.

Everything was simply for the sake of enabling their kind to live a truly threatening life in this cruel world, in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

What is justice and evil?

It's all utter nonsense.

So what's the point of doing this?
Kukudar watched everything happening in the grid-like world and suddenly felt utterly bored.

Even, He was still reminiscing.

If I hadn't been so arrogant or conceited back then, I would have paid more attention to the living conditions and perceptions of the vulnerable.

Perhaps then I wouldn't have faced so much betrayal?

"Kukudar, you have no heart."

"You have always been a beast. Even though you possess formidable and terrifying strength, your arrogance and conceit still dominate your mind."

“A single word can offend you, and even your friends will be devoured by you, let alone your people. You are so evil, so chaotic, so unteachable and unguided.”

"For the sake of our world, Kukudar, my friend, considering that you directly 'helped' me get to where I am today, please leave this world!"

Kukudar recalled his most powerful friend from back then.

The scene of that so-called world ruler severely injuring himself and banishing himself.

I recall the comical performance that guy put on to amuse me when he was weak.

She recalled the scene where, when he was slightly more powerful, he indirectly told her that intelligent beings should not be treated as food or playthings, but she interrupted him because of her displeasure.

She recalled the increasingly indifferent look in that guy's eyes when he became the so-called main god, and the scene where he even tried to stop her from eating several times when she woke up.

At that moment, Kukudar gradually understood everything.

Even at this moment, Kukudar remembered.

The image of that guy desperately begging for his attention as he crashed into his home planet, only to be swallowed whole by his own fury.

These images kept replaying in His mind.

As a result, He, half-awake and half-asleep, unconsciously curled up even tighter in his ball-like body.

This is not His fault!

Blame it on the fact that the world is inherently cruel.

After all, not everyone is born incredibly powerful.

In the ancient times, when life first appeared on the planet, wasn't Kukudal also growing by constantly defeating and devouring other life forms?
This is the way the world is.

Besides, isn't it common for people of the same kind to kill each other, even among humans and across all races?
They kill and eat their own people, so why shouldn't I?

Because I'm an oddball?

Is eating it evil?

There is no such truth.

Besides, it's not wrong for the weak to serve the strong.

Even the gods of this world are toying with humanity.

Although, Kukudar also knew.

Compared to myself, indeed, neither the gods of this world nor my former home planet 'friends' are superior.

They are indeed much kinder to the weak.

But what is the essential difference between them?
hypocritical!!!

What a bunch of hypocrites!

The strong should be free; the strong should not be bound by the rules and perceptions set by the weak!

But why?

Kukudar tried to convince himself of this, but he always felt extremely uncomfortable.

The feeling of having nowhere to vent his anger drove Him almost to madness.

At this moment, He looked at the grid-like world and even felt an urge to destroy it.

But as soon as one sees the cries of the weak in the grid-like world, and looks at the fearful expressions of the weak, children, mothers, and fathers.

He calmed down again.

So, is this what humans call compassion?
Sympathy?
What about the monsters?

Okay, look at those snake-men I've contaminated.

A group of people who only know how to kill, and even the high-ranking snake people take pride in killing, and even express their desire to sacrifice more living beings for themselves.

really.

Whether on their home planet or in this world, many of the people they created have some kind of mental issues.

However, this is not something that Kukudar can control.

This is one of His innate abilities; it's just His nature as a snake-man.

Furthermore, this ability is also somewhat related to His fondness for eating His own people.

So, what need is there for brains when it comes to backup food? And wouldn't a love of killing actually help Kukudar hunt for more food?

Therefore, Kukudar now has a clear understanding of his own ability.

Ultimately, this ability was born from His desire to obtain enough food to satisfy His appetite.

As for whether there are other reasons, perhaps there are, but the fact that His people have mental problems is definitely related to His previous gluttony.

That's how things have come to this.

Kukudar suddenly wanted to stop.

I even want to leave this world.

However, it was just such a coincidence.

Just as he was pondering this matter, He sensed a strange power suddenly descending upon this world.

With His power, finding anomalies is very simple.

And so He also saw the scene of the Star Empire's robots slaughtering the snake people around Brady City.
