Pain.
If the pain before had felt like someone smashing his bones and feeding them to dogs, this was like throwing his soul into a meat grinder, molding it back together, then grinding it again.
Caught between Solaster and the Abyss Mother Goddess, two supreme beings, all Physical Rules had become scraps of paper.
Order's holy light sought to turn every Heretic into a rigid Crystal.
The Black Mud of chaos sought to dissolve all existence into primordial pus.
And Yang Yu was trapped between these two forces, each powerful enough to restart the universe.
His current state was strange.
He was neither human nor ghost. He was more like a kidney stone hard enough to chip a tooth.
Solaster's stomp had failed to kill him. Instead, it had compressed the ninth Divine Ring inside him to a critical point.
It felt like a spring pushed to its limit.
It would either snap.
Or... launch him to a whole new height.
"Delicious... Fuck, this is delicious..."
An intensely greedy thought emerged from within that nearly imperceptible particle.
Outside, the two mighty beings fought so fiercely the heavens seemed to crack. Every collision sent countless fragments of Divine Law spraying out like sparks.
Some held truths of Order that Solaster had spent billions of years comprehending.
Others carried the Abyss Mother Goddess's Chaotic Origin, enough to drive anyone mad with a single glance.
For any other Deity, touching even a speck would mean instant death or corruption.
But to Yang Yu, who had cultivated Body is Universe, how could this be a deadly aftershock?
This was lobster and king crab fresh from the buffet line!
With the shells already peeled off!
"Absorb it! Suck it all up!"
The Singularity Yang Yu had become spun wildly.
He was like a bloodsucking louse
