"Hiss..."
A mournful howl echoed in the sky. Once the Gargoyle, which had been sealed for thousands of years, was broken free, it soared wildly through the sky like a dog released from its leash, releasing the loneliness it had endured for millennia.
However, their changes go beyond that.
As its body soared through the sky, its outstretched fleshy wings visibly grew larger and larger, and its already three-meter-tall body expanded even faster.
The flesh swelled and the muscles bulged. More than fifty Gargoyle flew in the sky, growing larger and larger. Their bat-like heads were also gradually evolving, becoming more and more ferocious and terrifying. Some black keratin layers slowly emerged from their heads, and two black, devilish, grotesque curved horns grew on their heads at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Their hands are curved like hooks, branching into five fingers like a human's, with black wing membranes connecting each finger to help them change angles during flight.
Even the roars they made had changed in tone.
"Hold head high!!!"
"Hold head high!!!"
The previous hissing was gone, replaced by a roar like that of a giant dragon.
The sound of it is enough to paralyze a person with fear. Its body has grown to a height of seven or eight meters, and its wingspan is so large that it blots out the sky. The whole thing is like a giant dragon!
Numerous jagged teeth grew rapidly in the Coal Ball's mouth, making its appearance even more ferocious and terrifying.
Such a terrifying monster could probably destroy a city with ease if it were just one!
"Hold head high!!!"
The enormous Coal Ball soared through the sky, then plunged headlong into Norton standing on the ground, as if to express its intimacy and excitement after thousands of years of separation.
However, as its massive body crashed to the ground, a huge chasm was carved out of the ground by its unstoppable momentum. Its huge body, relying on inertia, slid along the soil to Norton's front. Then, its still-moving massive body was gently stopped by a pure white, slender, and exquisitely beautiful finger.
"Squeak!" The massive body of the Coal Ball came to an abrupt stop, but its pure white fingers did not bend in the slightest.
Such a massive body, with the inertia of falling from the sky, brought an immense force that struck, but was ultimately stopped silently by a finger, and its immense force was completely dissipated.
Norton's current state of being so horrific as to be inhuman is truly beyond description.
Coal Ball excitedly circled Norton like a dog, rubbing its head against his skin to express its affection for Norton after such a long separation.
The sight of such a massive and ferocious monster in such a bizarre form was truly grotesque, yet it also gave Norton a long-lost joy of reunion.
"Coal... balls?"
Norton's not-so-distant memories resurfaced in his mind, and he immediately thought of the name "Coal Ball."
Hearing Norton's call, Coal Ball was overjoyed. It surrounded Norton, lay down on the ground with its huge body exposed, wanting to be petted by Norton. Its huge tongue was sticking out, just like a dog seeing its master, its whole body was full of joy.
However, its enormous stick was such an eyesore that Norton could hardly ignore it.
Norton looked down at himself; a dent slowly appeared on his smooth, white skin, and then a slightly elongated, pale figure emerged from it...
That's awesome! Now even his penis can retract into his body like wings, it's incredibly convenient!
But isn't it rather indecent to do these things in such a solemn place as the summit of the Holy See and the God War?
Even Norton had heard the surrounding chatter.
Indeed, despite his consumption of the Pope's bounty and the awakening of countless monstrous creatures, a small number of fanatics still managed to remain at large.
These people blindly believe that he is God, and even if they die on the spot, they still want to serve God.
Such thinking shows a deep-seated brainwashing by the Church, but it also reveals the great drawbacks of religious belief. However, it also just so happens that we see Little Norton appear...
" God is indeed God; that thing can actually shrink back in?"
"So that's how it is, even God has biological characteristics?"
"This image must be painted; all future murals depicting God must be created in this style to show the common ground between God and humanity!"
Humans are all a little bit abnormal, and this abnormality manifests in all aspects of life, including blasphemy.
Seeing God's creation in this way, the people around them were not afraid of God's wrath and murder to silence them. Instead, they had already come up with ideas on how to depict God's shameful side, so as to associate it with sex and thus achieve a new level of artistic creation... genital imitation.
This is also related to the current cultural revival in the Southern Continent.
With the liberation of thought and the Reformation, the strict rules and conservative ideas once set by the Church were all deemed outdated. Any rebellious thought that opposed them represented progress and liberation. Therefore, the sexual issues that the Church was once extremely conservative about were now openly depicted in paintings, sculptures, and literary works, symbolizing breaking free from the shackles of traditional Church thought and embracing the tide of new ideas.
Norton looked up at the vast number of God's believers around him, some of whom had run away, while others remained standing and watching him. His face flushed, a rare sight for him.
An unprecedented sense of embarrassment welled up in his heart. His Pressure, which covered the vast area of the Southern Continent, clearly sensed the current situation of the Southern Continent and the Vampire who were dragging the palace toward this place.
They also sensed the Catholic Church, which venerates its own name as God.
"Now that the Pope is dead and his body is gone, the Catholic Church I founded before my banishment is now flourishing... The name of me, Norton God, is known throughout the world!"
Therefore, I might as well ascend to godhood, proclaim God, become the only true God in this Garden of Eden, and become the true God worshipped by millions of believers!
Norton's dark eyes swept over the remaining followers, and seeing the fanatical expressions on their faces—expressions that remained even as Norton killed—he felt a tremor run through his heart.
But after a moment's hesitation, Norton rejected his idea.
Now that the world is thriving and Norton is no longer in mortal danger, he is truly free in this Garden of Eden. Why should he devote his energy to the so-called becoming God and ruling as a king?
"My mind has been lost for a long time... Blindly pursuing something, isn't that just another form of self-imposed confinement and sealing?"
"So be it... If Kuba can have such a broad vision, and the Yalian can have such a high level of insight and the courage to face death, then I, Norton, as the Vampire Progenitor, even if I don't have their vision and perspective, can at least remain unscathed and stop wreaking havoc on the Southern Continent that I've ravaged for hundreds of years..."
"I, Norton, am still a good man after all!"
Norton gazed at the sun in the sky, feeling that his body hadn't attracted the divine light that Kuba had poured into it to possess God, and finally, he felt the absolute freedom he had always sought...
"Sigh, I think I'll just go back and wreak havoc on the Vampire."
Oh, and we also need to retrieve the cross and bone nails that sealed him in that cave. We also need to find all the flesh and blood that he lost when he reached the Fourth Stage over the past thousand years, so that no one will try to scheme against him again if they don't like him.
