Chapter 117: Demon God
The indescribable core of the abyss, when the changes in the underworld are completed, its influence is transmitted here in another way.
Something jumped, and with it, the core of Tartarus, the huge figure swayed slightly. But maybe it's because she's slept for too long, and her own strength has changed too drastically in the process, even if she is stimulated, her mind wakes up little by little.
As for the six figures with different appearances...... Although they guard their mother, their consciousness is not yet complete. Or, until Moya woke up, they would have remained the way they were, because the Demon Mother was the first life that the Abyss should have really been.
Time passed slowly, and the consciousness in the massive body became more and more active. At some point, she finally regained a little ability to think, and the 'eyes' on her body slowly opened.
Everything around you suddenly came into view.
……
'It's noisy......'
Consciousness sank into nothingness, surrounded by darkness and boundlessness. Something kept changing herself, but she didn't have a clearer sense of reality in her sleep.
I don't know how long it has been, after all, it is difficult to have a concept of time in sleep. It wasn't until that strange fluctuation came just now that this confused soul finally woke up.
However, her consciousness has only woken up a little, and it is not even enough to control her body and strength freely, let alone carry the memories of the past and logical thinking. For a moment, she forgot why she was here, where she was, and even who she was......
Millions of years blurred everything, and when it was over, Moya woke up from her slumber a little uncomfortable, her somewhat misty consciousness didn't immediately remember everything.
She just instinctively looked around, observing this distorted and strange place—even if she hadn't remembered the past, Moya still felt that the scene in front of her might be a little different from her past life.
The stars twinkled on the 'top', which used to be the remnants of the beginning of creation, impurities that were difficult for the world to digest, and now they were the projections of the abyssal level, and the chaotic-colored ocean churned on the 'bottom', where was the real bottom of the worlds and the most original existence of the abyssal Tartarus. Looking there, a feeling of closeness and repulsion rose from the bottom of Moya's heart.
The sense of closeness comes from the origin of the body, and the rejection comes from her subconscious memories. The former Titan deity instinctively didn't like this, but in any case, she just thought about it for a moment and put it down, as Moya's attention was quickly drawn to the more present things around her.
It was six uncalculable behemoths—that's what her subconscious told her. However, Moya's vague mind at the moment was a little puzzled, because she couldn't feel where they were 'big' at all.
Big and small are all references to make sense, but at this moment, the core of Tartarus is only Moya and these six existences. Compared to her, these demon gods are not 'big' in any way.
And ...... They don't seem to have the same consciousness as me. ’
Moya seemed to have found something, Moya was a little surprised, and then the next moment the answer suddenly appeared in her heart.
It seems that when it comes to something, she doesn't need to think to 'know' the answer. Perceiving the inexplicable information, Moya instantly 'understood' the situation.
Until she wakes up, there will never be a second fully conscious being in the abyss. She is a special being, not only as the first life of the abyss, but also because of certain qualities that come with her. She is immortal, but they are not. Therefore, even if the gestation of the demon god has long been complete, it is still stopped because of Moya's deep sleep.
'I'm special, it's good. ’
With the answer, Moya's consciousness once again let go of her doubts, and a hint of joy came to her heart, and then she began to observe the six guys more closely.
They're the only ones around, no matter what. So Moya opened his eyes and measured their appearance and strength with his body and consciousness.
Each of them was different, and the one closest to Moya had the appearance of a giant worm. The bloated body has large and small branches on it, and at the position of the head, a huge human face is painted on it, which adds a bit of horror to this.
As before, when Moya saw it, the message of life came to her mind. It was the first demon god born in Tartarus, and it symbolized the growth and transformation of the living body in the abyss, and of course, it was also the eldest son of her, the mother of demons.
'So, I'm the Mother of Demons?' And what is the demon? ’
The hazy mind thought about it for a moment, and then gave up thinking again. Moya continued backwards, observing the other five beings.
The second closest thing to her was a giant 'insect', or rather, something like a magnified giant fluttering moth, but it was clearly different from that fragile mortal.
The transparent wings are dotted with thousands of pairs of eyes, not compound eyes of insects, but eyes like normal animals. Dense dots dotted all over it, even without considering the power in it, this scene is enough to make a person with dense phobia so frightened that it is difficult to hold back.
However, looking at this scene, Moya didn't react at all, because it didn't give the Demon Mother the feeling that it was as powerful as the other five.
Under that inexplicable ability of 'knowing', Moya knew that it was supposed to symbolize the chaotic spirit of life in the abyss, but for some reason, the power of the demon god seemed a little 'empty' in front of the Demon Mother's perception.
It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me. ’
Consciousness fluctuated slightly, and Moya's attention shifted again.
The third one after that seemed to be a lot more 'normal', at least Moya felt that his subconscious was somewhat quieter, and he didn't resist so violently anymore.
It was a giant with three heads and eight arms, and in the sense of the Demon Mother, his three songs each possessed different powers. One slowly corrupts everything, one that effectively destroys all spirits, and the last one that drains the opponent's power from killing to strengthen itself. Each head has its own characteristics, and what they all have in common is that they all symbolize the destruction of order by the abyss.
Nothing out of the ordinary, Moya continued to look back, and the fourth and fifth came into her eyes together.
One of them had dark red skin and thick limbs, with huge fleshy wings and horns, and was covered in flames; The other, covered in frost and mist, was hidden from beneath it, making it difficult to see the whole picture.
That inexplicable 'intuition' told Moya that just as the birth of the third demon god was affected by a 'foreign body' that appeared in the abyss, so did the two demon gods. One of them received the power of a certain Flame Realm, and the other was in harmony with the Origin that had been repelled from the Fog Realm, and these two forces gave them the power that went beyond the characteristics of the Abyss, but possessed such special abilities.
'Well, that's interesting. ’
And the last one. ’
Looking back, Moya finally looked at the last demon god.
Compared to the previous five, the existence hiding at the end does not have a body and image of its own. It is a fluid mass of shadows, sometimes jumping and sometimes silent.
It looked a little different from the previous five, but when the doubts in his heart rose, Moya once again 'understood' its power. It is chaos and shadow, the embodiment of the imbalance of power in Kaos, and in this world where the dark side is far greater than the light, it symbolizes the shadow of the abyss
'It's six weird guys, disgusting like hundred-armed giants. ’
Inexplicable thoughts floated from Moya's heart, but this time, although she didn't suddenly 'know' anything, the Demon Mother had no intention of thinking about it. Although she didn't remember what the hundred-armed giant was, she thought it was something she had seen before.
But then again......
"So, what do I look like?"
This time it was no longer about thinking, but really speaking. Even Moya herself didn't know where the organ of her voice was, but she did.
The image of the six demon gods finally aroused the curiosity of the demon mother, and she wanted to see what she was like, but after trying it, she found that she couldn't do it.
Consciousness can't watch itself, at least Moya, who relies on instinct, can't do it. So when she realized this, she was a little frustrated.
Then wait for them to wake up...... When they wake up, let them tell me what I really look like. ’
Not depressed for long, Moya quickly cheered up again, because she had already sensed that with her awakening, the six demon gods who surrounded her were finally about to have their own complete consciousness.
Just let them tell what they look like as you would if you were watching them yourself, Moya thought. And so as she waited, time passed slowly.
The warped timing in the abyss had no measure, and Moya didn't know how long he had waited. Until a certain moment, she suddenly discovered that the weakest and strange demon god had signs of waking up.
The thousands of pairs of eyes on its wings twitched slightly, as if they were about to open in the next moment. So Mo Ya moved his body with difficulty and moved in front of the other party.
"What am I like?"
At a certain moment, Moya made a voice again, and she had already sensed that the other party's consciousness was complete. And the next moment she asked, the eyes of the demon god also opened in an instant. Thousands of rays of light shine out of it, releasing their power outward, which is not intentional, but a sign that the demon god does not know how to control it.
However, they do not need to be controlled, and they do not care if they accidentally hurt others without a sense of morality. Just like Moya had done before, the newly-born demon god instinctively looked around, and its many eyes were the right tools. Then the first thing that catches your eye is the creator who gave birth to it, the mother goddess of all the demons in the abyss.
Hmmm-
Thousands of eyes closed in an instant, and with it, blood-colored juice flowed down from the eyelids. And on the other side of the Demon God, Moya didn't even realize what was happening.
'What's wrong with you?' She asked.
There was no response, and Moya only saw the other party's wings vibrating and retreating backwards. She was about to ask the strange reaction of the creature, but the next moment, the Demon Mother was attracted by the blood flowing in the void.
They were like a mirror, reflecting her appearance. Looking at the reflection of the liquid surface, Mo Ya was stunned for a while.
The 'beauty' seen on the surface collided with the extreme 'ugliness' in the subconscious understanding, and it strongly impacted her consciousness. In an instant, this extremely strong stimulation suddenly awakened Moya's memory, and she finally remembered who she was.
At this moment, however, she wished she had never remembered.
"I ......"
"I am Monemothyne...... I am the Titan Goddess...... I am the god of language and innate writing...... I am, the Mother of Demons—"
“……”
"Ahh
A sharp voice resounded through the abyss, and the furious power shook the world, and the former Titan god finally remembered everything, but now the result was unacceptable to her.
She came to Tartarus in search of power, and she did get what she wanted. However, the price was that she lost everything she had except her strength forever.
The abyss was shaking, and the demon god who had just been born flew out under the power of Moya before he could wake up. The Demon Mother, who vented her anger, looked at the 'top' of everything, the interface between the abyss and the present world, where it led to the underworld.
Behind that, there is the source of everything.
"Ley-——!"
Moya's short syllables contained anger that could not be washed away by all the waters, and if it weren't for the guy who had robbed him of his priesthood, how could he have come to this point.
There were other beings, those who didn't want to help her deserve to die—she wanted to go out, she wanted to make all life in this world feel despair and pain, but before she could start, the power that had made her 'understand' before came another will, stopping her from doing so.
“……”
"Hell...... Another thief? ”
“……”
"Good...... Then I'll fix it first, and then I'll deal with you! ”
At this moment, Moya understood the abyss incomparably, and she understood the anger of being taken away from her power, even if Tartarus didn't actually have the emotion of anger.
So she turned around, and her gaze followed some kind of guidance, and she saw the world hidden behind the barrier of time and space.
It is very similar to the material world in the past, orderly and harmonious. Even now, Moya prefers such a place.
But she's different now...... So the Demon Mother screamed again, calling out to the demon gods who had just been shaken out by her.
Now that she feels the will of the abyss, she only wants to bring complete destruction to this world at this moment.
······
Nine Prisons, Atrium.
Two rounds of the 'sun' shine above, reflecting the figures of the floating islands. The consciousness of the serpent of the world is reflected there, and the master of the Nine Prisons looks at everything outside.
The six Demon Gods and Demon Mothers, whether they were or the Abyss, obviously had no intention of hiding their whereabouts at the moment.
"She seems to be calling your name...... Ryan, that sounds, that's a lot of resentment. ”
At the familiar table and chairs, Asmodeurs sipped a cup of tea. However, unlike the relaxed tone of his tone, the look on his face looked extremely solemn.
