Inside the God's Cage, Gustavo stepped into it with his spider legs, and the True God in the cells immediately trembled.
In their perception, what arrived was not a Dragon-Hunting Spider, but a chilling current of death, carrying a terrifying coldness that could freeze the soul.
"Oh? You sensed it? I didn't expect you half-dead guys to have such sharp senses."
Gustavo chuckled, then opened his massive maw, filled with fangs, and Black Hole vortex spread out, engulfing the entire God's Cage.
One by one, the True God sealed by the Rune Array were devoured into Gustavo's giant maw without any resistance, and then, like the Black Hole Origin Heart before them, entered the digestion space.
At this moment, the digestion space, strengthened by the Black Source Core, contained an extremely abundant strangulation power, and its quality was also greatly improved. In addition, Gustavo did not throw these hundreds of True God into the digestion space at the same time, which created a time difference.
The first to enter the digestion space were the strongest True God, those half-dead Upper God. Among them were Daciu from the Floating Light Civilization and Lord Roland of the Broken Blade, who was killed by Lancelot in the war on the Longtuo Continent. These guys were hanging on by a thread to maintain the vitality of the Divine Realm. It wouldn't be wrong to say they had perished.
"While I've just absorbed the Black Hole Origin Heart and am at my peak in all aspects, I'll devour the Upper God first. Even if the others cause trouble, it won't be a big deal."
It must be said that even at his current level of strength, Gustavo remains extremely cautious, always considering the worst-case scenario before considering victory.
This was a habit he developed from being constantly beaten down by the terrible talent [Luck Deprivation] since childhood. Of course, another reason was that Gustavo was inherently quite cautious, to the point that his Spider Mom Index always lamented that she had given birth to an anomaly.
"Ah, you'll die a horrible death!"
"By devouring gods, you will be cursed with the most vile curse in the world!!"
A series of broken voices reached his ears, but Gustavo merely chuckled coldly, treating them as if they were just passing wind. "Hmph, just the wailing of a bunch of losers. You couldn't even defeat me in life, and you think you can threaten me after you're dead? What a joke!"
After a cold laugh, Gustavo increased his speed, devouring and digesting all the Divine Realm left behind by these Upper God.
In an instant, countless insights into the rules of these Divine Realm poured into Gustavo's mind like a torrential downpour, giving birth to the prototypes of various Divine Law. Later, nourished by these insights, they blossomed into beautiful flowers unique to Gustavo.
The terrifying nature of the Devouring Path is revealed. Unlike True God of other Law System who use their own divine Divine Law to manipulate the power of all rules for their own use, the Devouring Divine Law directly seizes power. You won't give it to me? No problem, I'll take it myself.
The Divine Law that one seizes are almost identical to those one has cultivated, Divine Law being under one's Absolute Control. The power they can unleash is, of course, far greater than the power to manipulate the rules of heaven and earth.
One, two...
Upper God, Middle God, Lower God...
Fragments of rules, a broken body...
Gustavo devoured, digested, absorbed, and made his own everything that was imprisoned and bound within the God's Cage.
His breath began to soar like a rocket.
The previous increase in strength from devouring the Black Hole Origin Heart was quickly filled, and it continued to expand upwards without any reduction in momentum.
Meanwhile, as Gustavo devoured everything in his mind, countless resentments from the fall of the True God converged within him.
These negative emotions are extremely vicious. They are rooted in death and Destruction, and when they come together, they transform into ferocious and terrifying beasts that frantically attack Gustavo's mental world. Once the barriers of his mental world are broken by these Mind Beast, Gustavo will become one of them and lose his self-awareness.
However, Gustavo remained completely unfazed by the roars and charges of the Mind Beast, even ignoring it, because he knew someone could back him up. He only needed to devour it as quickly as possible, grow stronger, and acquire greater power.
Splash!
As the Mind Beast roared and rampaged, chains of order emerged from the sky above Gustavo's mental world, dancing Mind Beast and binding it. Then, a pure white vortex appeared, seemingly leading to some mysterious and unknown place.
Instinctively, the Mind Beast felt it couldn't be dragged in, so it struggled frantically.
However, the struggles of the Mind Beast were of no use. A cold snort devoid of any emotion came from above, and the chains of order suddenly straightened. Countless runes on their surface shone like stars in the universe. With a sudden tug, they dragged the unruly Mind Beast into Higher-Dimensional Information Space.
After transiting through Higher-Dimensional Information Space, the Mind Beast finally landed in a world shrouded in a hazy light.
Countless colorful fantasies and all sorts of filthy and evil thoughts floated and sank in this cluster of small worlds. When the Mind Beast arrived here, it was momentarily dazed. Looking at the countless fantasy worlds around it, it actually had the idea of throwing itself into them and becoming one with them.
It was as if this was its ultimate destiny.
Just then, hundreds of hysterical shouts filled with resentment and hatred exploded within the Mind Beast's body. This Mind Beast, with tens of thousands of eyes and resembling a super-enhanced version of a mud monster, was suddenly awakened and began to wreak havoc once again.
Just then, a sigh came, "Whether you want to or not, it's not up to you!"
Rumble!!
A magnificent Endless palace descended from the sky; it was the Hall of Wisdom, one of the secondary talents of Logo's Fire of Birth. As Logo's alchemy deepened and he came to understand more and more Truth, the Aura of Wisdom behind him shone ever brighter. This palace, born from the deepest part of Logo's heart, had reached an extremely terrifying level of power, especially against mental monsters like the Mind Beast, possessing unparalleled ability to suppress them.
Roar!!
Roars erupted from the mangled maw of the Mind Beast, shaking the star-like array of fantasy worlds above, but they couldn't budge the Hall of Wisdom in the slightest.
As the palace crashed to the ground, it was as if Mount Celestia had fallen, ruthlessly suppressing the Mind Beast beneath it, and then gently crushing it into fragments.
In an instant, countless imaginary microcosms throughout the entire mental world trembled, like greedy cats seeing a feast, vying to unleash their pulling force, tearing out fragments of Mind Beast from beneath the Hall of Wisdom and bringing them into this world to suppress them.
Some of the fantasy worlds wanted to take more, but their efforts were cut off by a giant hand descending from the sky. "Heh, no matter how good the food is, eating too much will just make you burst."
