382. The Ultimate Darkness, the Great Devouring
Chapter 392 382.Ultimate Darkness, Great Devouring
Fall to heaven, surrounded by angels.
With reverberating chants, burning clouds, and glorious gold, God strode into front of Dean in the air.
Long brown hair fell behind him, and on his bearded face, a dark brown one-eyed seemed to pretend to be a vast and cold universe, twinkling with stars in the sky.
Dean unconsciously stared at him, and then sank into the unparalleled vastness, and then this awe of the infinite universe was replaced by fear and hatred.
His other eye was not a human eye, and like the other angels, it was occupied by a clump of dark tentacles.
After meeting him, the progress of "Dark Paradise" jumped to 110%.
"Young man, meet again. Don't be nervous, we're not enemies, let's have a good chat. ”
God's voice was calm and gentle, like a generous old man who lived next door, but when he spoke, there was a dead silence around him.
All things prostrate themselves at his feet, hearing his will.
Dean's entire mind was drawn to a higher level of power, and for a moment his mind went blank, his pupils dilated, and the flames of the extinguished destructive form behind him retracted into his body.
But not long ago, the greatly improved will, the mirror shield expertise of defending the god's thinking field, made him barely regain his composure, and a large number of memories flashed back in his mind, and his pupils froze,
"It can't be... Are you, Tem? ”
Dean couldn't see the level of power of this god at all, and his crisis instinct was out of order.
I only remember one thing, he and the one-eyed homeless man who helped catch Mona's real murderer, save the seriously injured by the Zombie Eater, and opened the door to the transcendent world for him for the first time, popularizing the law of convergence, at the beginning of his crossing.
"Tym is one of my doppelgangers—" the man smiled and nodded, an illusion emerging from his well-groomed face—scruffy, unshaven, and full of wine.
"God disguised himself as a vagabond, just to touch me?"
"Not really, Tramp Tim patrols the world for me, you are just a butterfly with infinite potential that he has found, and there are many such butterflies. But I did not expect that your wings would roll up the storm, fly through the transcendent path paved with blood and temptation, and always abide by your heart and principle to reach the end of heaven and stand before me. ”
God makes no secret of the relief and admiration in his tone,
"Dean, you exceeded my expectations."
Expectation?
Dean shook his head sharply, took a deep breath, and looked around, only to see the eerie heavenly dome and the demonic army of angels.
"You call a place like heaven like this? Hell is nothing more than that. ”
God didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his tone, "What did the gods tell you?" Heaven has long since fallen, and I, my angels, and the gods who rule over have fallen into more than the devil, the devil... An even more evil species? A monster that has lost its mind? ”
"And the puppets—" Dean stared at his tentacle eyes, "puppets manipulated by these tentacles." Don't tell me, they're just insignificant parasites. ”
The scepter in God's hand tapped the writhing shadow in his eyes and exclaimed, "This is our pact with another, greater being. ”
"A greater being?" Dean recalled the unspeakable black shadow he had seen after slaughtering the angel earlier, "An oval-shaped, tentacled monster? ”
God threw up his hands, embraced the dark heaven, and said aloud an ancient name, "His name is the Most High, a member of the 'Children of the Stars', one of the apex predators of the multiverse, originally a world that was not part of ours, but came down from the stars in a distant time and made a pact with me." ”
Children of the Stars?!
Hearing this familiar secret, the progress of "Dark Paradise" jumped to one hundred and two percent.
Dean also remembered the Child of the Stars Phantasmal Serpent that he had slain and occupied an ancient temple, and the Potala Spider-Man who devoured the upside-down world...
The supreme who now enslaves the entire heavenly power—the power level is getting higher and higher, more ancient and evil.
"It's surrender, right? You surrender to the Most High, wage divine warfare, swing your butcher's knife at your fellow citizens who rebel against it, and then enslave, captive, and plunder the world for it? ”
Dean raised his voice and asked,
"Don't you think it's shameful to be one of Earth's oldest gods and act as a lackey of an invading monster?"
"The fiery courage and will are what I appreciate the most." There was no anger in the eyes of the refuted dog's bloody God, but there was a trace of agreement, and he took the initiative to appease the restless angels around him, "But when you see the Most High with your own eyes, you will understand how ridiculous everything you say is, and no existence can stop it from predating." ”
"Since working with the Most High, I have seen a part of its movements, its devouring and purification, and many planetary civilizations that are greater and older than Earth have not escaped the end it has set for from birth, prosperity, and decline."
"Our earth, our faith, is a speck of dust compared to those civilizations."
"The so-called gods are but a link in the food chain of the Most High."
God waved his hand—
The clouds in the depths of heaven lifted away, revealing thousands of luminous pillars.
Countless ancient gods, imprisoned like the former Baphsam, became the providers of the Most High.
"If I hadn't compromised and had chosen to cooperate with the Supreme and cultivate a hunting ground for it. Life, soul, matter, everything has long since been annihilated. ”
"The earth has become a dead wasteland."
"The world that is attached to the earth has been wiped out."
……
Even the gods and gods cannot compete with the Most High?
How strong is it, really?
Dean pondered and shook his head, "But what's the difference?" You have served the Most High for so many years, and in the end it will still devour your homeland, kill your believers, destroy the world, and the world is about to come to an end, and your betrayal is meaningless. ”
"No, it's no longer the end of the world, it's a replacement."
"What's the difference?"
There was a glimmer of hope in God's single eye, "When the Most High completes this great devouring, he will immediately leave this world, leaving me with a pure land and fire." That's the agreement between us. ”
Dean frowned, "What does Tinder mean?" ”
"The Most High destroys ninety percent of humanity, but leaves behind a small number of human cubs, and plants, plants, and natural resources as tinder... Let the earth be reborn. ”
"Why are you leaving human cubs?"
"A human cub is like a blank sheet of paper. The right teacher can paint on their bodies and souls, and raise them to be pure, noble and principled people, so as to ignite a whole new world. ”
"And you, Dean, you have come to the end, so you are qualified to become a 'flame bearer', and lead the new generation of humanity after the Great Devouring with us, ignite the fire of civilization, and rebuild the perfect world after destruction, in a few hundred or thousands of years, the earth will finally become much better than it is now."
As if pricked by God's eyes, Dean turned his gaze away, "Perfect world? ”
"There is no war, no plunder, no greed, no gluttony... The world of all kinds of selfish desires. ”
God's eyes became cold and ruthless, his gaze swept across the dark air, countless light curtains spread out in the space, and Dean saw a shocking picture - in the continuous artillery fire, corpses and craters everywhere, a smiling soldier with a slight hat stabbed the deceased's head with a spear;
The rich, richly dressed people enjoy their meals in high-end restaurants, and the homeless people sleep in the streets and freeze to death in the cold night;
The dolphin rescued a drowning man, and the rescued people called countless fishermen to drive their families and entire groups into the shallow bay, slaughtering them and bleeding into the sea...
There are even more terrifying biochemical experiments... Oil spills, nuclear spills...
"Instead of morally corrupt human beings and governments constantly waging wars, killing each other, oppressing their fellow citizens, occupying animal habitats, plundering resources and polluting the environment without restraint, as is the case now."
"The man who has lost his mind, the man who is hungry, the beast under the control of man, is driven by his own lust and greed, and the uncontrollable emotions in the world are increasing day by day."
"Human conceit, greed, sin, fear, and indulgent desires are Pandora's box, and once opened, the rift will grow bigger and bigger, and it can never be closed."
The brilliance in God's eyes dimmed, "I have observed for a long time that humanity is frantically destroying the fate of itself and its homeland, and the only way to save it is my agreement with the Most High to devour most of humanity and let the earth 'reborn'. ”
……
After hearing this statement, Dean was speechless for a long time.
In the mouths of Paphrasis and Leviathan, God is just an evil god who submits to the Most High and seeks to destroy the world.
But now, God himself claims to have destroyed most of humanity in order to restore the order of the new world?
It doesn't matter who is true and who is not.
At never had Dean felt the word "New World" so heavy as he did now, full of blood and the wails of the dead.
"You're righteous," Dean asked, "but you've created a witch hunt, a Black Death pandemic... Created the terrible law of convergence and inhibition? ”
"That's right. But I'm only slowing down humanity's destruction of the world a little... Far more people have died because of their own kind than I have killed with the supernatural, and the trend is getting more and more intense. God opened his arms to Dean, "I have told you everything as it is, would you like to bear the seal of the Most High and join us in creating a new earth together?" ”
"It's just me?" Dean was in no hurry to object, "What about my family and friends? ”
"Their newborn child can be used as a spark to survive."
"Not negotiable?"
"There is no room for change in the decision of the Most High."
Dean lowered his head and looked at the progress "Dark Heaven".
You have rescued Paphsan and learned that the Son of the Stars, the Most High, and God's Vision, the culprit of the heavens' misfortunes, re-establish the order of the world.
One hundred and fifteen percent progress.
Withdraw rewards.
You gain 1000 XP at Lv9 (110→1110/1500).
Special quests where you get an additional 15 divinity.
With the addition of 1 bit of divinity, the skill, gravity manipulation, and red dragon meditation improved again, Dean's breath became thicker and thicker, and his pupils became like liquid gold.
"When does the Great Devour start?"
God observed his changing breath, "Originally, there were still two years left, but the movement you made in heaven was so violent that it had already awakened the sleeping Supreme One, did you feel it, the devouring of the earth has begun, if you hurry up, you can still say goodbye to your acquaintances." ”
Devouring begins?!
Dean looked up at the dark dome, and countless unimaginably large, sharply contoured strips of black objects swept by, emitting heavy, far-reaching, vast pulsations, as if the majestic mountains were plowing through the barriers of heaven and into the real world.
God's perspective is magnified to the extreme, and it is impossible to see one ten-thousandth of it.
This, this is the Most High?
Dean looked around at a circle of angels,
"There are many greedy people in the world, but there are also many good and principled people, and among them there are many of your supporters, who call you God and angels, and pray to you day and night. Are you sure you want to give them up in exchange for an unpredictable future, for an illusory promise from the Most High? ”
"Even if you find humanity guilty, what about the innocent inhuman races, animals, plants? All damned? ”
"Don't you think that's hypocritical!?"
The questioned God looked at the thousands of angels around him, "How can there be no death if you want to accomplish great things that will revolutionize the heavens and the earth?" In the Great Devour, all my angels will be sacrificed to become fuel for the new world. ”
Dean shook his head, "Are you crazy?" Even his own people are sacrificed? ”
God saw his decision in his eyes and said with regret, "I know you will not be easily shaken, so fall asleep and wake up to the new world." ”
With a wave of his hand, the angel behind him flapped his wings and whispered a strange sound, radiating a black light that shot wildly towards Dean.
Dean resisted the heavy sleepiness and hypnotic magic sound in his mind, turned into a humanoid radiation field, released a circle of platinum energy, condensed a destructive form behind him, stepped on several layers of kaleidoscope-like aura, and swung out a huge fist, instantly obliterating the ten archangels in the forefront.
Just as the battle resumed.
A large number of bubbles suddenly rippled on the surface of the sea of blood behind the angel legion, and the fluctuating blood water parted like boiling magma, and a filthy and mysterious figure erupted from it, entering the Fallen Heaven—
The leader has three pairs of black wings on his back, and his whole body is shrouded in darkness...
A man with a pale blue cloak and a majestic face followed;
The golden prism, bathed in blood and stumps and covered with torture instruments, came in third;
Then there was the man with a red flame all over his body and a pair of horns on his head;
A knight wearing black iron armor, riding a gorgeous military horse, wearing a golden crown covering his long snow-like hair, and the corners of his grinning mouth reveal sharp lion teeth;
A robed man with a noble and flawless appearance, surrounded by countless flies...
……
More than a dozen black shadows stood side by side, bursting out of a powerful aura that competed with the angel group, stirring up the clouds in the sky to break through the whirlpool,
"Dean, we're here to support you!" Baffle roared, and an invisible energy swept around, and Dean who was affected instantly felt his morale boosted, and the power in his body seemed to become endless.
And the speed and strength of the angel group have been greatly reduced.
"The war that lasted thousands of years ago should end today, and those who betrayed their homeland must die!" The six-winged fallen angel raised his hands high, and countless feathers flew out from his back and condensed into a long sword that shone like a morning star in the palm of his hand.
The Liontooth Knight raised his spear and charged, his body resembling a black hurricane, and in his passing a powerful angel was skewered into a grilled fish.
The robed man summoned a swarm of black-pressed flies and surrounded the angelic legions... Immediately, the angel's skin was cracked and pus, and sores appeared, and his body withered and fell like a withered flower.
All of a sudden, Dean's camp had the upper hand!
"Lucifer, Paphsha, Leviathan, Abaddon, Beelzebub... The Lords of Hell, who should have been eliminated a long time ago, finally dared to stand up and walk on the same front after thousands of years of struggling from the world? God's sigh came from behind the angelic legion, "But it's too late, stay and be fueled!" ”
The void in front of God's tentacles suddenly cracked open a swirling hole, so black that there was no light, like the starry night without light, the dead void of the universe - Dean couldn't help but stare at this deep and vast darkness, suffocating chaos coming towards him.
A huge black shadow swooped out from the hole, bouncing through the rhizome-like tentacles of thousands of World Trees, staggering through the space.
Dean, who was on a killing spree in the Angel Legion, was tied up by a cluster of elusive tentacles.
The fangs between the tentacle suction cups opened and closed with ease, easily piercing his gray armor and life stance, devouring and exploiting the energy in his body, and the platinum giant punched the tentacles hard, enough to annihilate the power of the gods, but only created a gap in the tentacles, and was devoured.
The power of the platinum giant was constantly extracted by the tentacles, and its body size was visibly reduced and diluted to the naked eye.
Three black dots the size of a fist lit up in the space, and Dean summoned three miniature black holes to annihilate the tentacles, and then casually opened a spatial rift and jumped into the pitch-black void to hide.
But then there was a chill at the back of his neck—those tentacles actually tore through the space, and followed the void from the fallen heaven.
Escape!
The huge sense of crisis stimulated Dean to shuttle through space twenty times in a row, and summoned the tentacles behind the black hole ten times to annihilate him.
But they don't seem to be able to kill them all, and they won't feed back any energy when they are destroyed, and they keep shuttling through space with Dean.
It's as fast as teleportation, more like a nightmare, and you can never get rid of it!
Crackling!
When the energy in Dean's body was empty, a tentacle wrapped around his lower back, suckers biting open the tough skin and devouring flesh!
Hiss...
Blood splashes, pull back!
Dean was pulled back to the Fallen Heaven again without the power to fight back, entangled in a human cocoon.
Not far away,
Lucifer's group of gods were like prey entangled by a hungry python, and they were lifted into the air in embarrassment.
Zizizi...
Black, red, multicolored energy flowed out of their bodies and quickly disappeared with the suckers wriggling above the tentacles.
As soon as God made a move, the previous situation, which was not far from victory, was reversed in an instant.
……
"Lucifer... Don't you understand, thousands of years have passed, and without the support of the back garden of the earth, your strength has been standing still, or even retreating. ”
God looks down on the gods like a flock of tiny ants that can be trampled to death by raising their feet,
"And the Most High has been devoured and grown in the hunting grounds for thousands of years... Far better than in the past, you can be destroyed with a flip of your palm! ”
"I give you one last mercy, embrace the void, and witness the miracle together—"
Dean saw God pull open a huge curtain of light.
In Los Angeles, white-collar workers in the offices of towering office buildings have stepped up to the windowsill, and the bustling crowd on the bustling streets has stopped and looked up at the sky.
The dazzling sun that had been hanging in the center seemed to be obscured by something, and the clear sky darkened without warning, and in the blink of an eye, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
"God, why is the sun gone?"
The people began to talk in horror and excitement,
"Total solar eclipse?"
"Is there a power outage, and the lights are not on!"
"The darkness is moving, and there is something moving in the darkness."
"Help!"
……
At the same time, the light curtain swept over Chicago, Canberra, Jakarta, Tokyo, and the scenes of various major cities in the world, and there was chaos.
The darkness was like some kind of behemoth hidden in the mist, eroding the daylight, the light, the fire, and even the sparkle of the human eye.
Panic boiled, wailing and screaming pervaded, and the world was plunged into unprecedented terror.
It's like the end of the world.
……
And in the end, the light curtain condensed into space, and the images taken before several satellites were shattered by terrible tentacles -
In the starry sky of the universe, an unimaginable oval-shaped giant beast lay on the blue surface of the earth, its clay-like body contracted for a while, sucking... Slowly stretching out a series of hideous tentacles, stretching along the sphere to tens of thousands of kilometers long, pressing towards the mountains, subverting the ocean, and enveloping the entire land.
The huge body flickered and emitted black light, creating layers of spatial tides.
It is like an octopus hovering in a cosmic sea of stars, devouring its prey.
……
Son of the Stars: The Most High?
The terrifying posture comparable to the planet made Di An's head swell with a strong sense of powerlessness.
How can I stop it?
