Chapter 97
The black figure opened its single blue pupil, which was dim and lifeless yet filled with terrifying killing intent.
It's so noisy... Can't you be quiet?
Zuo Jian thought to himself.
Then, the lower half of the figure's head split open, as if a huge mouth had opened!
The bizarre limbs were still making all sorts of noisy noises.
However, the next moment...
"Hahaha!! Hahahaha"
"Hehe... buffet... ahaha... buffet."
An unfamiliar voice interrupted their revelry. Eyes sprouted from the backs of their bodies, and only then did they realize that a humanoid figure with a gigantic maw was behind them, laughing maniacally along with them.
"Buffet!!"
"Ahhh!!"
Chapter Fifty-Three, Birth! The Greatest, Most Evil, and Most Tyrannical Zuo Jian!
"Aaaaah!!" (An indescribable, Demons scream)
Several pupils were now staring at the humanoid monster tearing off its own limbs and devouring them with dread!
They've disappeared!?
They've disappeared!?
Why?!
The individual known as the Demons had never encountered anything like it before.
Even after the Ursus people obtained the Demons fragments and used them for their own purposes through various means, it could still sense the existence of those fragments.
In other words, as long as those fragments remain, it will not truly perish.
Since it became conscious, nothing on this land has truly threatened it.
Even the life forms made of Originium, or the creatures created in the sea, could only contend with him.
But that way, even if it's no match for the enemy, it won't die.
For countless millennia, Demons have almost equated immortality with death; they have never experienced the feeling of extinction.
And now!
The strange and alluring piece of flesh that he had been trying to devour had actually awakened on its own!
The other party directly occupied and assimilated a part of his limbs, and then began to frantically devour him!
With each portion it devoured, it could sense the strange flesh and blood inside the other's body constantly becoming more active!
And that part of me seemed to have truly vanished, completely erased from this world.
Or rather, you've become a part of the other party!
You'll die!
You'll die!
At this moment, the Demons of the north actually sensed the fear of living beings.
Even now, this is only a small part of its main body extending outwards.
But what if the other side eats this body and still isn't satisfied?!
It was utterly powerless against this terrifying humanoid creature?!
They could only stare wide-eyed, their eyes, of all sizes, filled with terror, at this "monster."
However, the next moment, five fingers pierced through it, gouging out its pupils one by one, and then throwing them all into its mouth!
"Eyeballs!! Delicious!! Eat!!"
The humanoid creature let out a strange roar, then pressed the limb down firmly, tearing off pieces it liked and stuffing them into its mouth bit by bit, just like dismantling a roast chicken.
"Ahhh!!"
No, no! At this moment, it suddenly understood what the word "terror" meant.
In the past, humans viewed themselves as incomprehensible beings and as superior beings on par with "gods".
In their eyes, they should all refer to "He" as Demons with fear.
However... at this moment, the so-called Demons is nothing more than a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
To the humanoid monster, "He?" No, it was nothing more than a piece of food that was wriggling haphazardly.
They don't even deserve to be called "he/she".
No, no!
This can't go on!
You'll die!
It was utterly powerless against this monster, its body being rapidly devoured while the monster's vitality grew stronger and stronger!
No no!!
It's unclear whether it was an instinct triggered by the threat of death, or a momentary lapse in the opponent's defenses.
At that moment, the being known as the Demons suddenly sensed a trace of consciousness within the monster's body.
It can't be wrong!?
This is... human consciousness?!
Although the structures are slightly different, in terms of wavelength, this is the consciousness that humans emit!
Although it was very faint, and seemed to be in a semi-sleep state, there was no doubt that this was human consciousness!
For Demons... manipulating a human's consciousness is incredibly easy.
What's more, the other party was in a semi-sleep state!
There was no time to ponder why such a bizarre and powerful entity would connect with human consciousness.
But it knew one thing: the other party was currently out of control! If it wanted to survive, it had to awaken that human's consciousness...
No, it's not about waking up.
In an instant, on the verge of life and death, primal greed swelled once more in its heart!
It wants to control that human's consciousness!
They can't deal with the flesh and blood, but if they turn their attention to the consciousness controlling that flesh and blood...
If successful, nothing on this land will be able to stop itself! It can continue to spread its pollution to every corner of the earth!
Yes! As long as it succeeds!!
Immediately afterwards, all the viscous, black, humanoid creatures wandering in the Loken Watertank Laboratory turned around and pounced on the "monster".
It gradually dissolved, turning into a liquid that enveloped its entire body!
Humans are the easiest creatures to deal with!
They especially want to pollute them.
And control is effortless.
No matter how resolute or steadfast a person may have been before, as long as they are human, desires will always lurk within them.
The more someone is like this, the deeper their desires are buried, and the more sinister they become!
Found it! Found it!
Tear away your hypocritical facade, dig out all your desires, and amidst the pollution of your consciousness, accept false venting, ultimately becoming your own puppet!
Yes! Tell yourself, this is just a dream!
In your dreams, you can do whatever you want!
No matter how dark or violent the thought, it can all be unleashed!
In your dreams, unleash all the darkness within you.
With the Demons having used almost all the power within this part of the body in an attempt to distort its perception of reality and dreams, it finally... awakened that dormant consciousness.
Zuo Jian slowly opened his eyes in his dream.
At this moment, his original kind exterior was completely stripped away in the dream, and under the influence of Demons... he unleashed all the darkness within him.
After all... it was just a dream.
"I can still dream?--"
Click.
The black liquid broke free from the Demons's control and slowly coalesced, transforming into a humanoid body.
He spoke, hissing impatiently.
"How disgusting... This nauseating scene is what I see as soon as I open my eyes."
He's awake! He's awake! Excellent! Excellent! The threat is gone! This land will be completely—
"Hmph, haha!!"
The humanoid creature suddenly opened its arms and burst into wild laughter.
The sudden turn of events even caught the Demons somewhat off guard.
"Hahaha! What's this feeling?! This feeling of being free is truly exhilarating!!"
"Haha!"
The head on the Zuo Jian had no facial structure; it was smooth like a black oval. At this moment, the oval split open, revealing a gaping maw that roared.
"Ah--ah--wonderful, so wonderful--this feeling... I feel like I can fucking do whatever I want right now--"
Yes, you can do whatever you want now, so follow our lead—pollute this land into whatever we desire!
The Demons transmitted its consciousness to this place.
Inside a laughing, humanoid creature.
"Ha?"
At that moment, Zuo Jian turned his Zuo Jian, and a single black-blue eye grew on his faceless face, coldly looking at the writhing black substance at his feet.
The Demons suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
This guy seems... not going to listen to me.
"Contaminate the world—oh, I understand, I will spread my terror to every corner of this land, of course I understand, I've wanted to do this for a long time."
"But... who do you think you are? Who gave you permission to... order me around?"
As he spoke, he kicked the wriggling substance on the ground away!
The immense force roared through the air, and the Demons's remains even produced a sonic boom in an instant!
Boom!!
The wall of the experimental building, constructed to explosion-proof standards, was smashed open, leaving a large crater!
"Where did this rat come from, daring to order me around?"
"However... hehehehe, spread fear across the entire land?! Very good! That's a good idea. In that case, let's do it."
"Next... I will drag this land into an abyss of terror--"
"The first step is..."
Zuo Jian parted in a strange and cruel smile, and he spoke in a chilling voice.
"I will take this land into my possession, and let all life praise my terrifying teeth!"
"... Who's there?"
He turned his eerie head and stared intently at the figure in the corner.
