There were occasional faint spots of light in the endless darkness and void. Amidst the murmurings, the big snake coiled its body and slept quietly. Its abdomen was bulging high, as if there was something there.
Obviously, this was the first time that the big snake had eaten its fill. During the battle that was so fierce that it was almost unconscious, the big snake only vaguely remembered that it seemed to have swallowed something, which seemed to be the giant that was its enemy.
It also seemed like... something even bigger than that giant.
What is it?
It doesn't remember, and it doesn't bother to remember. For this monster, it doesn't care about everything that happened in the past, because it is meaningless even to remember what has happened, and it cannot be changed, let alone cannot be changed.
What to miss.
Therefore, just as it doesn't care about its past as a human being, it also doesn't care about what it eats. Anyway, it is very full now, and it is enough to know this.
And when the entire universe collapsed, it wandered in this endless void for a long time. In the ears, those faint murmurs never stopped. In this dark void, there were occasionally some
Strong or weak breath passes in front of it.
The big snake didn't care about any of this. It just fell asleep quietly. Its body continued to grow. Over a long period of time, some inexplicable lives even formed on its huge body. These ghost-like creatures
Life multiplied on its body, using scales as peaks and cracks as ravines, living on it, and even eventually built cities and civilizations.
These beings who are good at spiritual power are divided into many different countries? Civilizations? on the body of the big snake. They fight with each other and compete for territory. Many mages have created infinitely prosperous civilizations. They regard the body of the big snake as
As a primitive world, the darkness outside the snake's body is regarded as endless darkness, but some scholars believe that the earth under their feet is actually an infinitely powerful life.
Obviously, these scholars are regarded as lunatics by the vast majority of people, who ridicule their ignorance, think that they have lost their minds, and even invented a vocabulary to call such similar remarks "rational to zero."
However, some scholars are not willing to accept it. They insist that their theories are true, but the public does not recognize their theories, and they can only be forced to form secret sects one after another.
Among these many religious sects, some are obsessed with finding the truth of the world, some are trying to awaken the huge life under them, and others intend to communicate with that huge life, and finally, a very smart person has found the
method……
Inside the tall palace, there are all kinds of strange symbols engraved everywhere, and the transparent beings are chanting something in a low voice while facing the altar in front of them.
Known as the Dark Lord who stands at the pinnacle of black magic, a genius among geniuses rarely seen in millenniums, his army has already swept through various countries, and almost all living creatures have surrendered to it. Only those who use white magic can
The white magicians are still clinging to the last kingdom and struggling to support it, but in the eyes of most people, these white magicians are just powerless people who will be conquered by the Dark Lord.
However, recently there has been a sudden rise of a brave man who is regarded as resisting the devil. He is calm, rational, handsome, brave, and has incomparable charm and charisma. Under his leadership, the white magicians who were struggling to support themselves were able to succeed one after another.
After defeating several demon generals, the huge army led by the King of Heaven even attempted a counterattack and recaptured many cities. However, all of this was not of concern to the Dark Lord. At this moment, he only cared about one thing.
It’s the sacrifice in front of you.
From a long time ago, he understood that he had talents far beyond ordinary people, but it was precisely because of this that he was able to rely on his huge spiritual power to feel a certain will hidden deep in the earth...
In the face of that majestic and vast will, the power he was proud of was completely vulnerable, and even he was finally filled with trembling fear of that power. But after the fear, there was a deep rise.
Deep longing.
He longs to be in contact with that power and to gain that power, no matter what the cost.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to travel across countries and travel thousands of miles just to gather all the magic books and gain enough wisdom from them.
And now, he finally found a way...
Those mysterious words have often appeared in this world since ancient times, either carved on mountains or hidden in the sea. Ancient creatures believed that such words were not man-made but natural.
It was formed with great power, for which there had been fierce conflicts and battles, but now, he was finally able to hold these many words in his hands.
"..."
The transparent life was chanting incantations, and the flames in front of it were burning, and at this moment...
"boom!"
The door behind him suddenly opened. Hearing the sound, the Dark Lord couldn't help frowning and looking back. He wanted to see who dared to disturb his ceremony.
However, the first thing that appeared in front of him was a small team consisting of several men and several women, headed by a handsome young man holding a sword. Next to them lay a tall giant wearing thick armor.
The Dark Lord looked at the young man, then at the tall giant, and frowned slightly.
"Gemolo, you actually let outsiders break into this place?"
His tone was calm, but after hearing this, the tall giant covered in blood struggled to stand up, but finally knelt down and said with a trembling voice full of fear.
"King, I, I..."
"waste!"
However, the Dark Lord had no intention of listening to his explanation. He just spoke softly and waved his hand casually, and the tall giant in front of him instantly turned into pieces.
Then, the Dark Lord turned around and looked at the young men and women in front of him, and then said calmly.
"Now, as a reward for your ability to get here, I order you to tell your name..."
…
In the palace, several young men and women had already fallen down in various directions. Only the young man holding the sword managed to hold on to the broken sword in his hand to avoid falling.
"Hoo..."
He gasped hard, feeling the sharp pain after his lungs were penetrated. His clear blue eyes looked at the Dark Lord in front of him, but they were filled with deep fear.
It's really terrifyingly strong...
It was just one blow that directly knocked away the holy sword Tomibade in his hand, which was forged by all the white magician teachers and spent their lives. If Levia hadn't sacrificed her life to block it in front of him, I'm afraid
He is dead, but...
"Levia..."
He was in a daze, and scenes from the past appeared in front of him, but he was immediately interrupted by the severe pain in his body.
"Ahem..."
While coughing up blood, the young man understood that this was not the time for his son and daughter to love each other for a long time. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to stand up with his sword and continue fighting, but in the end he stumbled and fell to the ground.
But looking at the young brave man in front of him, the Dark Lord just looked at him indifferently.
"You are really overestimating your abilities. You are indeed very talented. If you practice for a few more decades, you may have a chance to compete with me, but you are still too immature now."
With laughter, the Dark Lord turned around, preparing to perform the ritual again.
"Dark Lord, let me ask you...why did you want to kill all the Gold City?"
But behind him, the young man's weak and stubborn voice came.
The Demon King stopped. When he heard the name, he couldn't help but recall it in his mind. With his extraordinary wisdom, he immediately remembered this inconspicuous small city from his dusty memory.
"Are you talking about that small town in the north? Because I saw a record in a sect's classics that there is an ancient text hidden under this small town. What? There are your relatives in that small town?"
The Dark Lord said calmly, and then he noticed something very keenly.
The young man behind him looked at the Dark Lord in front of him blankly, his lips trembled, and he said in disbelief.
"Just...just because of this?"
"Of course, is there any other reason needed?"
The Dark Lord mocked.
Deep anger gradually appeared on the young man's blank face. He clenched the holy sword in his hand tightly, almost biting his teeth into pieces.
He couldn't hear any emotion in the Dark Lord's tone, as calm as if he had crushed an ant to death.
"You monster...don't you have any feelings?!!"
"emotion?"
Unexpectedly, the Dark Lord in front of him sneered and glanced at him. Just this glance made the young man's body feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave...
What kind of eyes are those.
The upright snake eyes were cold, indifferent, and inhumane, as if... looking down at the reptile beneath him from some higher dimension.
"Humble creature, I thought you had some talent and might be able to understand my thoughts, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. Feelings? This country thousands of miles away? It's completely meaningless! In front of that great will
, what do these mean?"
With a sneer, the Dark Lord turned his head and continued to walk towards the altar in front of him. In front of him was a snake-shaped statue.
Looking at the statue, the Dark Lord, who was arrogant and arrogant in front of outsiders, showed deep desire on his face and murmured in his mouth.
"Eternal life, power over all living things...right now...after I awaken that will, all of this will be mine."
As he spoke, his body was trembling due to excessive excitement.
Looking at the Dark Lord in front of him, although the young man did not understand what the Dark Lord was doing, he also realized that this seemed to be an extremely important ritual. Regardless of his seriously injured body, he tried to step forward to stop him, but then he felt
Several black tentacle-like things tied him up, making it impossible for him to break free.
"At the moment when I am about to surpass all life, mortals, you are honored to be allowed to watch here."
The Dark Lord said calmly and confidently, then closed his eyes and murmured a prayer.
"..."
All kinds of mysterious words from ancient times, long before life was born, and those runes that had been used by gods to try to avoid fate were written out by him one by one, in order to call out the huge will that had been sleeping for a long time.
"Rumble, rumble..."
Under him, the palace began to shake, and the shaking became more and more violent. The young man looked at the Dark Lord in front of him, and he realized that this was by no means an ordinary magic ritual, but a kind of ritual that could overturn the world.
, an unprecedented huge ceremony...
Outside the palace, amid the violent earthquake, the Demon King's army, which had already received orders, began to slaughter the captives as sacrifices. Flying dragons soared in the sky, making bursts of dragon roars. Many mountains collapsed, and rivers
Cut off, like a doomsday scene.
"Stop! Are you crazy!!!"
In the palace, the young man shouted desperately at the Dark Lord in front of him. His fingers dug deeply into the stone slabs, and his nails burst out and bleeded without even realizing it. Thick fear shrouded his pupils.
…
All this looks like the destruction of Gold City.
But in front of the young man, the Dark Lord laughed wildly.
"Ho ho... ha ha ha ha... I succeeded... I succeeded!!!"
At the same time, amidst the loud noise of the sky and earth shattering, the Dark Lord seemed to feel as if he was being thrown outwards along with the many fragments of the palace beside him, and the entire earth beneath him was constantly shrinking.
"Huh? There seems to be something wrong..."
With his last thought, everything on the earth was being thrown into the endless darkness...
The big snake, which had been sleeping for an unknown length of time, slowly opened its eyes, comfortably stretched its huge body that had not moved for a long time, and then flew towards a certain point of light in the endless darkness.
