Chapter 16: The Core Will
The sky was as red as blood, countless flickering points of light shone in all directions, and huge meteorites dragged dragon-like flame trails and fell straight down from the sky.
Standing high in the sky, under him was a black earth filled with yellow-green mist, and the ruins of countless cities were scattered everywhere, there was no human habit, only a few huge mountain peaks were wrapped in flickering spiritual light, and there was a trace of life.
"Boom!!"
Takakawa watched as countless meteorites broke through the atmospheric barrier and made a loud roaring and popping sound, until he himself felt a sense of falling.
Only now did he realize that he was one of these meteorites.
His body fell to the earth, but he couldn't control it, and could only watch himself land towards the land.
I could feel that my body was gradually awakening - not Takakawa's body, but 'it's' body, so large that it was comparable to a mountain peak, with a body of thousands of meters in size.
The huge tentacles slowly broke through the outer layer of rock and iron crust that protected them, cleaning the main trunk of the body, and the bony arthropods stretched out from the back, and black mist poured out of the body, along the arthropods, turning into a gray translucent film like insect wings.
As four pairs of huge insect wings vibrated and waved, Takakawa-'it' stopped falling and was suspended in mid-air.
I finally had time to look around.
Above the sky, outside the atmosphere, in the void, there is a closed sky dome composed of countless black-red ** and carapaces, wrapping the world, wrapping the planets, and even the moon into the bag, and countless meteorites like 'it' have been dropped as the vanguard of encroaching on this world.
The yellow-black mist mixed with the yellow-black sand and dust demonized and corroded all the creatures on the earth, and the black-red rain slowly fell, transforming everything into an otherworldly appearance.
It was the power of the 'wheel' of the giant demon conglomerate that enveloped the sky and the earth, enveloping the planet.
'It' felt a pang of disdain for this great power.
"I'm a higher-level, self-willed ......"
Although it has only just been born, the inherited memories that are stored in the core crystals in the body tell 'it' that 'it' is different, and that it was born to be the leader of many demons. Born with self-will, it does not need to be honed and sublimated over a long period of time.
As long as you keep devouring life, you can keep getting stronger, and one day. It will be the wheel of the ruler and the master of the planet's lair.
Huge enough to be as big as a mountain peak, his body trembled, and he seemed to be excited, and the Great Scorching Heat-level Returnless Super Demon began to eagerly start eating for the first time since his arrival in the world.
As for the targets, of course, they were the peaks that still had some remnants of native life, and they had no doubt. It's the best 'ingredient'.
With a flutter of its wings, it randomly chose a mountain that shone with light, and then rushed straight to it.
A flash of light lit up.
It seems that the divine light that contains everything in this world is gone in a flash.
The demon lost its will, and the last thing it felt was that its crystals were picked up and ......
In the bedroom, a black mist with a blue aura enveloped Gao Chuan's body, and a strange purple light illuminated the room, and the wriggling black mist gathered on his right hand. It's constantly turning.
"The core control device has detected the invasion of the will of the alien demon, and the defilement aura has been activated......"
Suddenly, such a spiritual fluctuation sounded out of thin air, and then, in the depths of the cyan blue core light, an almost transparent silver light lit up, and it suddenly shot out, turning into a blazing white purifying light, enveloping Gao Chuan's entire body.
The eerie purple light distorted for a moment, then contracted violently. The black mist, with its turquoise aura, suddenly thinned.
Takakawa opened his eyes suddenly.
There was a paleness in front of him, and he woke up again.
"Whew...... What's that?"
Somewhat surprised, Gao Chuan subconsciously looked out the window, it was dark. It's not a blood-red sky, no black-red carapace and **, and no countless points of light falling from the sky.
โ...... It's dangerous, it's just a nightmare......"
With a long breath, Gao Chuan couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness, but at the same time. He slowly realized what he had just seen.
That's the memory of the demon.
Tens of thousands of years ago, in that era that no one knows now, the memory of an evil demon who attacked the fortress of an ancient civilization.
I don't know where it came from, it wasn't the memories of any of the demons he had devouredโnone of them were in his mind, but demons that had invaded from outside.
A purple glow flickered, interrupting his musings.
โ...... Purple?"
Sensing that something was wrong, Takakawa lowered his head and looked into his chest.
There was a trace of red light flickering wildly in the center of the original blue-blue core, and although it was slowly dissipating into nothingness, it still existed, drearing the blue-blue aura into purple.
Bursts of cyan blue light, black mist with the aura of Gao Chuan surrounded the purple core, shrinking little by little, returning to nothingness, and the magic circle was detected halfway but there was no reaction, as if these things were not demonic qi at all, but his aura.
"Is this the new way the demons have hidden the detection circle...... I didn't expect to become a practitioner myself......"
With a self-deprecating sound, Gao Chuan couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
What the hell is going on, it's just a sleep, how can there be so many things?
Every time I sleep, it's not an overflow of ancient civilization materials, it's just the memory possession of various demons, and the best case is to recall my previous things - in the end, don't let people sleep well?
Raising his right hand, this is the place where the blue light and black fog were gathered the most when the blue light and black fog still existed, Gao Chuan looked carefully and found a trace of difference.
On the back of his hand, there was an unfinished black mark, which was an incomparably complex mark that looked like an eye, but in fact there were countless intricate spirit patterns covering the surroundings...... Now it is slowly dissipating, and Gao Chuan can't understand it at all.
"A little stronger...... However, it also consumes a little more vitality. โ
It's not just the arms, Takakawa examines the whole body, and finds that this latent will seems to want to completely transform his body, although it failed for inexplicable reasons, but some of the results remain, "The organs are still normal, but the bones of the limbs are strengthened." โ
The purple light slowly turned violet, and then gradually returned to cyan blue, and as the red lightning light in the depths of the core dissipated, some fragments of memory poured in, and he also knew why he had such nightmares, and why the core became like this.
It was a very deep latent - no, it was not hidden, but it had become a normal will, but it was awakened by the riot caused by the remnants of the demon's will that Takakawa had devoured before, and after having the initial ability, it was defeated by the core defenses, and finally Takakawa's instinct wore it out again.
It is the remnants of an ancient demon that has existed since ancient times.
It is the will that is latent in the deepest part of the core.
It is the true soul of the core.
Although this evil soul has been shattered into an essence and turned into a harmless soul tide and a trace of essence of the true spirit, the core is indeed completely clean, but Gao Chuan also has a sense of fear.
"Although it is speculated that the core was originally a purified demon crystal - who would have thought that it would be such a strong demon!"
Touching the spar on his chest, the gem-like object that shimmered with blue light was now extremely calm, without the slightest vision, Gao Chuan frowned, not knowing what to do, "Although it seems to be the fault of the core, but in the end, this time I was actually saved by this thing again, otherwise I would have become an evil demon in my sleep." โ
He wasn't worried about his spirit being invaded - in fact, the soul of that group of demons was not strong, even if Gao Chuan was defenseless, it was impossible to replace him, but if his body became an evil demon, how could he stay in Zhenyuan Sect in the future?
While he was still thinking, the trace of true spirit that was like a flutter in the wind dissipated.
"There was really nothing abnormal in the core before, it seems that I devoured the demon's will too much before, and the mental turmoil caused by it, the inner demon has affected it spontaneously, if I have to say that it is its fault, it is better to say that I am too reckless...... I crushed this will, and I don't know if I can use it now. โ
"Greetings to the supreme owner, Demon Slayer Core 00-0. โ
A weak will poured out from the hedron and touched Takakawa's spirit to deliver such a message.
"Your will is my will - now the primary core hedron is in good condition, and the secondary core hedron is in good condition, and it is completely usable. โ
โ......๏ผ๏ผโ
Wait, what's going on with this voice?!(To be continued.) )
