Let Them Be Endless and Drown Your Enemies!
Time stretched out thick and long amidst the oppressive waiting and the restless growls of wild beasts.
Yu Xiaogang huddled behind an Icy Rock not far from the hyena pack, his eyes Red, staring intently at the area shrouded in divine power.
Three days!
The three days promised by the God of Wrath!
Every minute and every second felt like a dull knife cutting into his flesh, tormenting his taut nerves.
The female hyenas that he had induced to become pregnant with his divine power were clearly behaving strangely.
Instead of their usual raucous growls, they were unusually quiet and listless, their bellies swollen even more alarmingly, and the traces of their cubs kicking violently could almost be seen under their taut skin. Their fur had completely lost its luster, becoming withered and dull, and their eyes were cloudy, filled with a sense of pain and weakness on the verge of collapse.
The air was thick with a pungent, sweet, and metallic scent of blood—the smell of the mother's life force being frantically Absorb by the monster inside her womb.
On the third night, an impenetrable darkness enveloped the forest. Even the Bug Buzz vanished, leaving only a deathly silence.
Sudden!
"Woo--!"
A bloodcurdling scream, loud enough to tear eardrums apart, suddenly rang out!
It was the strongest female hyena!
It rolled and convulsed wildly in place, its limbs spasmodically digging and clawing at the soil beneath it, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
The thin, taut membrane on its abdomen bulged out strangely and violently at a certain point, as if something inside was using Superpower to push outwards!
Pfft!
A tearing sound, so loud it made your scalp tingle and your stomach churn, shattered the deathly silence!
A stream of foul blood and sticky fragments of internal organs suddenly gushed out!
At the height of the mother hyena's pitiful howls, a wet, dark red mass of flesh, stained with blood and ruptured amniotic sacs, burst forth from the ripped opening in her abdomen!
That wasn't the weak wriggling of an ordinary cub, but rather a cold, violent, and Superpower struggling for survival!
Yu Xiaogang trembled violently, his pupils instantly shrinking to pinpoints! A chilling shiver ran up his spine to the top of his head.
The bloody, mangled thing rolled a few times on the ground, shaking off the sticky filth covering itself.
It looked much larger than a normal hyena cub, with extremely thick limbs covered with a sparse but exceptionally tough layer of dark red fur. Upon closer inspection, the tips of those furs even had extremely faint pale golden glints.
What's most terrifying is its head, which is disproportionately large, and its fangs are already white and sharp from birth, gleaming with a cold light!
Especially those eyes—there was no innocent confusion like a cub, only a pure, burning crimson of primal hunger and destructive desire!
The hyena cub struggled to stand, its slippery body making it Tangled Feet. However, it did not instinctively search for food like a normal cub.
Its bloodshot, frantically spinning crimson eyes, as if drawn by an invisible magnet, instantly became fixed on the incomplete figure behind the rock— Yu Xiaogang —who exuded an aura of the same bloodline as its own!
That look in his eyes was filled with a twisted, instinctive submission and... greed?
Yu Xiaogang felt a chill instantly freeze through his body as he was Lock-On that gaze, and his stomach churned. He instinctively tried to back away, but his body was as stiff as a stone statue.
Then, something even more shocking happened that froze his very soul!
The hyena cub emitted a low, unintelligible gurgling sound from its throat. It gave up standing and, using all four limbs, dragged its wet, blood-stained body towards Yu Xiaogang, crawling step by step with unwavering determination!
Where it passed, it left a winding trail of blood on the muddy ground.
Yu Xiaogang's mind went blank, and he could only watch helplessly as the monster cub he had "created" crawled to his feet.
The cub raised its head, its scarlet eyes devoid of any emotion, only the purest desires of a wild beast.
It extended its rough tongue, covered with tiny barbs, not to lick, but more like to roughly scrape, again and again, its target clearly the exposed, decaying, and festering wound on Yu Xiaogang's severed arm, which exuded both divine power and an aura of decay!
"Ugh--!"
An indescribable, excruciating pain, mixed with a bone-chilling, tingling, and numb sensation, suddenly exploded from the wound!
Yu Xiaogang screamed in agony, his tattered clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Each time the cub's tongue licked, it felt like countless tiny blades scraping away at rotting flesh, bringing a tearing pain. But at the same time, there was a strange sense of energy exchange—the cub seemed to be Absorb the Divine Power of Wrath emanating from his wounds and... his life force?!
[Hahahaha! Do you see that?! This is your bloodline! Your legion! They are born thirsting for your power! Thirsting for destruction and annihilation!]
The raging voice of the God of Wrath roared in Yu Xiaogang's mind, filled with twisted triumph.
They Absorb you, and they make you! They are the extension of your rage! They are the claws that tear everything apart for you! What are you waiting for? Go find them! Go find more 'mothers'! Forge more of these blades! The hyenas are just the beginning! Let them be endless, drown your enemies!
The sharp, excruciating pain, like the bite of a venomous snake, mixed with the cold, sticky sensation of the eerie cub's tongue scraping across rotting flesh, ripped apart Yu Xiaogang's last shred of sanity.
The seductive laughter of the God of Wrath roared and echoed in his mind, each word like a red-hot branding iron, searing into his soul, which was completely consumed by hatred.
"Poison Dart Frog... Night Owl... Iron-Armored Rhino..."
He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and broken, like sandpaper being rubbed together.
In that murky, single eye, a crazed light blazed as if boiling oil had been poured into it, instantly burning intensely and almost overflowing its socket.
The shock of the hyena cubs, intertwined with the excruciating pain, did not break him. Instead, it acted as a powerful catalyst, completely burning away the last trace of human hesitation and weakness in his heart.
He suddenly exerted his strength and roughly kicked away the cub that was still greedily licking his severed arm and making low "purring" sounds!
Caught off guard, the cub tumbled into the mud, letting out a short, fierce whimper. Its scarlet eyes stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, its fangs bared, but it did not pounce to attack. Deep within its gaze, a twisted sense of submission seemed to grow even stronger.
Yu Xiaogang didn't even glance at it again.
He struggled to his feet, his hunched and broken body swaying slightly in the heavy shadows, yet exuding a ferocious and reckless aura. The stump of his arm, stained with a mixture of the cub's saliva and his own decaying flesh, now Sisi radiated a darker, more intense Red light, like molten lava, emanating a scorching and violent aura.
"Iron-Armored Rock Rhino..."
He repeated the name hoarsely, then abruptly raised his head, his bloodshot gaze Infiltrator layers of dark woods, fixed on the shadowy, more profound mountain range to the northwest, like a lurking behemoth. There, slumbered, lay the most powerful "foundation stone," designated by the God of Wrath!
He no longer hesitated. The blueprint for revenge unfolded before him: a magnificent castle built with the most filthy bricks, lacking only this heaviest cornerstone! He grinned, revealing a twisted smile more hideous than a cry, exhaling a breath of blood, dirt, and madness:
"As long as I can get revenge... as long as they can taste this bitterness too... I'll do anything! Anything!"
He no longer looked at the bloody "birthing room" behind him or the dark red cub, nor did he pay attention to the other female hyenas who were about to give birth and were emitting painful cries.
Like a believer who had completely embraced darkness, he dragged his heavy, staggering steps, leaving a trail of bloody mud with each step, resolutely and frantically plunging headlong into the undulating black mountains to the northwest.
