Metamorphosis

"Splash! Splash!"

The silver-white cylinder spun, making a crisp metallic click, before Luther slapped it back into the gun barrel.

He then pointed Revolver at himself.

What are you going to do?

Eyes slowly grew out of Lanevus's eye sockets, and as soon as he could see clearly, he was met with Luther's current crazy behavior.

Luther did not answer, but instead pulled the trigger repeatedly with a cold smile.

"Click, click, click"

The sound of the Revolver repeatedly missing its target echoed through the sewers, a frenzied act that Lanevus witnessed clearly. Even though his will had Corrosion by the Evil God's Offspring, he still instinctively felt fear!

We must stop him!

Lanevus, enduring the lingering pain in his abdomen, was about to struggle when he heard the Revolver continue firing:

"Click, bang!"

Luther won the lottery.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Although Luther won the prize, it was Lanevus who let out a terrible scream. He covered his head, howling and convulsing, like a live fish being pulled ashore, arching his back, jumping, and rolling from side to side on the ground.

The "Pain Aura" was still in effect, causing the pain felt by Luther to be reflected back onto Lanevus.

Luther also felt an excruciating headache, as if a red-hot iron rod was violently churning deep inside his head. But seeing Lanevus's intense reaction, it was as if the other person was sharing some of his pain, which actually made him feel much more relieved.

He stood still for a moment, allowing his head injury to heal somewhat, before opening the magazine again, ejecting the spent cartridge, and loading a bullet. This time, however, he wasn't loading an ordinary bullet, but an extraordinary one—one that was mounted on an ammunition belt and had intricate, unique patterns carved on its bottom!

Because it's difficult to succeed the first time, he used regular bullets in order to accumulate Luck and get five blank shots in the next "Lucky Roulette".

After getting ready, Luther once again pressed the Revolver against his temple.

"Click, click"

The crisp sound of the Revolver firing into the air echoed again, and Lanevus, who was still convulsing, suddenly stopped, then frantically fled in the direction away from him.

"Don't run away!"

Luther stepped on his back and sneered, "Didn't you want to eat me?"

"You're insane! You're insane!"

Lanevus screamed in terror, but he could still hear Luther pulling the trigger repeatedly—once, twice, five times!

The "Lucky Roulette" Revolver gathered powerful Spirituality at this moment, and the silver light on its surface was almost dazzling. Luther put down the Revolver and was about to aim at Lanevus when the latter suddenly struggled and escaped from under his feet.

"Guwa."

The Filth, blasphemous cries of an infant rang out once more, and Luther's body swayed, blood flowing from his nose and eyes simultaneously. The distant murmurs of the True Creator at the top of the Sequence, and the loud cries of the Evil God's Offspring right before him, assaulted his mind at the same time.

Luther was momentarily dazed. When he regained his senses, he found that Lanevus had already run out of the range of the Pain's influence, and the once shining "Lucky Roulette" had dimmed somewhat, as if it had been frightened by the cry.

Fortunately, it only slightly affected the effect.

The powerful effect accumulated through Luck on the Revolver was still active, so Luther raised the Revolver, aimed it at Lanevus, and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

An extremely loud sound emanated from the Revolver. The already highly destructive bullet was further amplified, striking Lanevus precisely in the back of the head like a cannonball!

"Puff!"

His head was instantly blown apart, turning into countless splattered droplets of blood that splashed onto the sewer walls and floor. The headless corpse continued running forward for several more steps before collapsing and falling onto the filthy, muddy ground, where it lay motionless.

Luther stood still, coldly staring at the corpse, without immediately approaching.

His intuition told him that Lanevus wouldn't die so easily.

Their battle had been going on for a while, but so far, no one had caught up. Red Gloves was probably in a tough fight. Mr. A was Shepherd like himself, but Mr. A had been Shepherd longer, and his proficiency and the quality of the souls Grazing were definitely superior.

Sure enough, the headless corpse remained still for only a short while before it began to convulse.

"Pfft! Smack!"

Cracks appeared on Lanevus's bloodied skin, and then a blood-red body broke free and emerged from them.

Like a giant, fleshy worm, the thing emerging from the headless shell was bloated and Distortion, covered with countless hideous faces. Upon closer inspection, it looked like the pained faces of streetwalkers.

"Child, I will protect you."

The head of the worm could be vaguely seen as the upper body of Lanevus. His abdomen was still protruding, but without the skin covering it, a fleshy mass could be seen, vaguely resembling limbs.

At that moment, Lanevus was murmuring something to the lump of flesh.

An intense and terrifying aura spread out; it was a terrifying pressure that only the offspring of gods possessed!

Damn it!

What the hell is this thing?!

Luther cursed inwardly. Lanevus had been Distortion throughout the battle, and in the end, he had become like this, looking truly ferocious and terrifying. A kind of sacred yet blasphemous, insane yet Distortion feeling emanated from him.

Perhaps all of this is because of the lump of flesh that Lanevus is holding in his arms, that thing that seems to be the Evil God's Offspring. Unable to be born, and with the mother body attacked by Luther, that thing could only modify the mother body in this way, and in doing so, it also became a Distortion form!

"Wow"

A clear cry came from the direction of Lanevus, the Filth and contamination in the sound so tangible that it sent a strong shock through Luther.

"My child, you're hungry too, aren't you?"

"Lanevus said gently, then looked up at Luther."

"Sizzle--"

On his skinless face, his mouth slowly split open to the sides.

"Boom!"

Luther instinctively sensed the threat and quickly dodged to the side. He felt a gust of wind rush past him, followed by an impact and a loud bang.

"Splash."

The sewer collapsed, Lanevus's massive body slammed into the corner wall, sending bricks and dirt tumbling down with him. A rush of fresh air filled the room, and Luther looked up to see a patch of black sky peeking out from the broken top of the sewer.

After transforming into something unlike a human, Lanevus's power increased dramatically. Looking at this enormous Monster, Luther's brows furrowed involuntarily.

How do we solve this problem?
