Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 356 Don’t fight anymore

The Seed of Creation was somewhat surprised by the appearance of this new and unfamiliar entity.

However, no matter how unexpected the situation, it wouldn't stop it from eating. Faced with a pure energy being, especially one that showed hostility towards it, it really would be hard for it to resist the urge to attack.

Moreover, even it itself had a strange aversion to this unfamiliar energy entity.

Even without the unfamiliar energy being actively hostile, it felt a distinct aversion the moment it appeared—as if this strange being had committed some unforgivable act.

So even before the conversation begins, it has already started extending its roots.

Now that its father is not around, it must protect itself with its own power, just as it had before when the giant snake was asleep.

Incidentally, it also fills its own gaps.

The Seed of Creation could sense that if it could completely devour this unfamiliar being before it, its strength, its abilities, and its power would all increase to a higher level!
"Now that you're here, don't leave."

Seeing that the energy entity was trying to escape, countless vines and roots immediately sealed off every gap.

All the vines and roots carried the strong will of the Seed of Creation; they were not just woody roots, but the most solid cage!

This unfamiliar energy entity can't go anywhere.

At least theoretically, it means you can't go anywhere.

But the reality before it took the Seed of Creation by surprise, for the scorching flames burned a huge hole in the cage in an instant.

However, even though an escape route had been found, the unfamiliar energy aggregate did not rush to flee.

Instead, they greeted it.

"This isn't a good place to start, shall we go somewhere else?"

"..."

The Seed of Creation remained silent, merely manipulating its wooden body to give chase.

Clearly, this was a dangerous decision, even a decision against its ancestors, but the Seed of Creation felt that it should follow—even it couldn't explain whether it was because of its appetite or some other thought.

It always felt that there was some kind of subtle connection between itself and this unfamiliar energy entity.

However, this connection itself is probably not very friendly.

Just like it is now.

Before the Seed of Creation could even stand still in the deserted wilderness, a blazing fireball was already hurtling towards it.

"mean."

This was the Seed of Creation's first impression of this unfamiliar energy entity. In fact, even before the other party made a move, it had already sensed that this unfamiliar energy entity was definitely not a good thing.

But this attack, which came without warning, only confirmed its judgment.

Despicable, insidious, cunning—this strange energy entity is just as it thought.

Therefore, it was prepared for this from the very beginning.

The rushing figure had no time to dodge and was indeed hit precisely by the oncoming fireball, but when the fireball exploded, all that was shattered was an old cloak.

As for the wooden figure that was originally hidden under the cloak, it had already fallen to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of giant vines and trees pointed straight to the sky. The rapid growth brought pure impact force, the most basic physical attack—but unlike the fireballs that flew out of the hand, these roots were part of the Seed of Creation, their power dense and continuous, like a giant fist pointing towards the sky!
The outstretched fist closed.

"boom--"

With a muffled roar, the unfamiliar energy entity vanished without a trace.

"caught you."

Feeling the scorching heat within the giant fist, the clenched fist instantly transformed into a digestive cavity, solely to devour this heat, this energy, and even the unfamiliar energy entity itself as quickly as possible.

However, at that very moment, a scorching hot blade sliced ​​through the thick wooden wall.

"Impressive skills... I thought you were just a cub, it seems I underestimated you."

That unfamiliar energy entity has now transformed into a sharp blade forged from flames, its extreme sharpness stemming from the scorching temperature itself.

"Since you've already reached this level, there's no need for me to go easy on you."

As soon as the words were spoken, the enormous fire giant rose into the air.

The battle-hardened Ignivas have many understandings of combat, such as the essence of fighting being throwing stones, or the core of war being hide-and-seek... However, besides these, the Ignivas also have a unique understanding of one aspect.

That is, bigger is better.

Although many races in the Star Sea would say that the massive humanoid exoskeletons were useless, and that it would be more practical to create more drone-like dispersed attacks instead of those large targets, they would all know what it meant to shut up when a colossal fire giant hundreds of meters tall actually stepped on their heads.

Bigger is better. This is something the Ignivas learned from their serpent god. Their massive size not only brings superior combat power, but can also directly destroy the opponent's will, making them invincible in battle.

Now, although it can only exert half of its power, as one of the best among the younger generation, the singing bowl can still create a flaming giant with a height of more than two hundred meters out of thin air.

"Two hundred and sixteen meters."

The singing bowl has been converted into a relatively popular unit in the current star system.

In a sense, they have truly caught up with the Snake God, possessing power that is no different from, or even stronger than, that of the Snake God back then.

It's just a mere wooden figure, how could it possibly be...?

"……Um?"

The singing bowl subconsciously raised its head.

This was because the enormous wooden figure that appeared before him was even taller than him.

Not only is he taller than he is now, but he is even taller than he was in his prime. The tall wooden figure formed by the gnarled vines and roots is probably already over 500 meters tall!
"you……"

"Now that you're here, don't leave."

With these words, the enormous wooden figure stretched out its large hand toward the diminutive fire figure.

Yes, big is good. Having followed the giant snake for so long, how could it not understand this principle?
At that very moment, both sides in the battle realized that they were probably connected to the giant serpent in some way.

"But... what you've learned isn't quite good enough."

With these words, the Flame Forged Blade appeared in the Fireman's hand.

Immediately afterward, with a swift stroke of the blade, the tall wooden figure lost an arm.
