New God Who Summons the Silver Moon

Roar!

A scream, filled with unwillingness and agony, pierced the night sky that had finally quieted down.

The sound waves, too sharp and stimulating to the nerves, swept through every corner of the forest, branding every living being that heard it with the mark of fear.

"When did food start daring to lecture me!"

With a deafening roar.

The centipede was once again violently thrown to the hard ground. This time, it could no longer struggle.

A powerful serpentine tail coiled around the centipede's midsection.

The muscular strength unleashed by the contracting muscles, combined with the immense kinetic energy from falling from above, caused the centipede's body to fold in half, its head and tail nearly touching.

Its current appearance was truly tragic.

Its entire carapace was shattered, and its succulent flesh was exposed under the bright crimson moonlight.

"You... you're not a yokai at all..."

Its bones and carapace were smashed, and most of its tens of thousands of sharp, segmented legs were broken at grotesque angles during the recent battle. Its protected internal organs were laid bare before its enemy without reservation.

For the first time since it became a yokai, the centipede felt fear.

"You... you're a monster!"

A monster that had touched that realm!

At the last moment of its life.

The centipede realized this fact.

However, it was useless. The golden serpentine tail, like a heavenly blade, descended upon its head with a sharp, piercing sound of cutting through the air.

Instantly.

An unstoppable force, like a raging dragon, tore through the centipede's entire body. Its soft internal organs were churned into a pulp, and all its vitality was completely eradicated.

Crack!

The centipede's head, which was larger than a house, was flung high into the air, trailing a stream of thick blood, soaring into the depths of the forest.

Gamia's mouth opened to its widest.

First, the venom glands, capable of secreting enough poison to kill a city, were swallowed. Then came the plump, tender flesh, the essence of the centipede's life, followed by its broken segmented legs.

The centipede's body was considerably larger than Little Boa's.

However, devouring it was not troublesome. After peeling off the troublesome black carapace, Gamia rapidly consumed the nutritious parts into its stomach.

Thump, thump, thump!

Scales that had shattered from previous injuries began to fall off its body.

As the centipede's life essence was digested, a large amount of nutrients flowed into Little Boa's body, integrating into the muscle groups spread throughout its entire body.

Under the moonlight.

The golden boa grew, almost visibly.

It took about an hour. As the power of the Red Moon gradually dissipated and the stars returned to their positions, its growth in size finally stopped.

At this moment, Gamia's length exceeded one hundred and twenty meters. Its golden scales shone brilliantly in the deep darkness, illuminating half the forest, appearing sacred.

On the ground.

The nutritious internal organs and flesh were devoured, leaving only the centipede's shattered black carapace emitting wisps of black smoke.

The remaining part of its body simply vanished before Su Heng's eyes.

"The surrounding environment seems to have changed a bit."

As a creature with exceptionally keen senses, any subtle change in its surroundings could not escape it.

"Mhm."

Su Heng replied. Just as he was about to say something, his thoughts were interrupted by a line of text with a faint purple spiritual glow that suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host, Devour Talent activated successfully. You have obtained a new talent.]

[Limit Breaker (Excellent): Second Heart, Bone and Scale Reinforcement Organ, Muscle Reinforcement Organ, Nerve Ganglion, Hyper-Regeneration Gland.]

After this long string of text, there was a single annotation.

[The more you grow, the more you realize the limits of a snake's power.]

"So, you're not planning on being a snake anymore?"

The battle with the centipede was unexpected for Su Heng, but the rewards were extraordinarily generous.

"So sleepy. Can I... go to sleep now?"

After the great battle, having eaten its fill, coupled with the effects of the Limit Breaker talent, the lazy Gamia felt an increasingly strong sense of drowsiness.

"It's not time yet."

"Why... but I'm clearly so sleepy~"

Gamia's voice was barely audible by the end.

"Because of the ritual."

Su Heng sighed, sensing that Gamia's consciousness had already fallen into a deep sleep due to fatigue and the influence of her talent.

He had no choice but to take over the massive and majestic body of the Golden Boa, looking down upon the vast forest before him as a deity.

As the centipede fell and vanished, the Red Moon's power rapidly receded like the morning tide. A gale swept through, bringing with it swathes of black clouds, shrouding the entire forest in absolute darkness. Only Gamia the Great Serpent emitted a faint golden radiance, drawing everyone's attention.

"What is that Great Boa doing?"

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but the Great Serpent's size seems to have grown by another circle."

Despite the considerable distance.

In another battlefield deep within the forest, the monks and warriors who had traveled from the Moon Country dared not discuss loudly.

They were the valiant and peerless warriors of the Moon Country, daring to venture deep into the forest under the glow of the Blood Moon and engage the endless Crimson Tide head-on.

But upon seeing the impossibly massive golden giant serpent, everyone maintained a sense of fear and reverence.

As everyone speculated what the Great Serpent, which had just defeated the centipede, intended to do, Su Heng manipulated Gamia's body and began his operation under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Next, it's time to witness a miracle."

The gathering dark clouds in the sky gradually obscured the originally clear night sky. The surging winds also intensified, piercing through the ravaged forest like invisible blades.

Rumble...

A dull thunder sounded from afar, approaching.

At this moment, Su Heng began to inhale.

The Great Boa's chest rose high, and the surrounding howling winds and surging clouds abruptly stilled due to the breath, which was like a whale drawing in water.

The forest fell into a sudden silence for a moment.

Then, a terrifying roar, capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, erupted from the Great Serpent's mouth.

"Lok! Vah! Koor!"

It was a completely unfamiliar language, but from the rhythmic intonation, everyone felt an unmatched majesty.

The dense black clouds scattered with a single blow. The lush trees around them bowed and flattened like waves in the distance. The tranquil and dark night sky revealed itself in the firmament, and the full moon, which had just disappeared not long ago, reappeared in everyone's sight.

Completely different from the Red Moon that represented disaster before, the moon at this moment emitted a dreamlike, pure white, bright moonlight, carrying a calming power.

Silver-like radiance cascaded onto Gamia's slender and powerful body, condensing into a faint halo behind it.

Such a scene was as beautiful as a fairy tale, presenting a landscape entirely different from this increasingly insane world.

At this moment.

Gamia was the new god who summoned the Silver Moon.

And in this forest, all the refugees who witnessed this scene would, in the future, worship Gamia as the deity who dispelled the Red Moon.

Su Heng believed that in this world, tormented by the Red Moon, it wouldn't be long.

Gamia the Great Serpent's believers would spread to every corner of the forest.

Thanks to the Northern Best Classmate for the two monthly tickets.
