The Growth of a God

Chapter 292 7: Enemy from Beyond the Skies (1/3)

"With my shattered body, I ignite a fierce fire, venturing alone into the Demon Realm to vanquish the celestial army."

Hovering low over a petrified forest, the Mountain and Sea Realm's most rebellious being—Wu Kui murmured this vow, seemingly recalling the great battle that once unfolded on this land.

This is Pandora World, a world invaded by the Godslayer Civilization.

Originally, it was a natural world like the Mountain and Sea Realm, filled with lush forests and vibrant life wherever the eye could see.

No, the original Pandora World was even more harmonious and natural than the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In this world, there were no cities or roads, and the beings living here were elves nurtured by trees and flowers.

However, the arrival of the Godslayer Civilization destroyed everything in this world.

Different from the black hole lifeforms and quantum lifeforms that invaded the World of Fallen Gods, the invaders of Pandora World were a special type of inorganic individual.

They had neither the mass that could rival the whole world nor the ability to reverse time and deliver a dimensional strike...

This Godslayer could silently and unobtrusively turn the entire Pandora World into a silent, ashen wasteland.

In Wu Kui's eyes, it was more terrifying than the two Godslayers that had once invaded the World of Fallen Gods.

The Godslayer arriving in Pandora World was akin to a virus that could infect everything, turning everything it touched into inorganic matter.

The once lush world was thus turned into the gray world it is today due to the infection by that Godslayer.

Everywhere you looked, the once lush and vibrant plants had all turned into inorganic matter akin to stone.

The destroyed ecosystem of Pandora World has now become devoid of even oxygen needed to sustain life.

To survive in this world, one must either be a form of life that does not require oxygen or be as powerful as Wu Kui, an Ascender who can bend the rules.

Under such circumstances, naturally, the natives of Pandora World could not just sit and wait for death.

Even though the gods have departed and the world is nearly shattered...

There are still heroes among the natives of Pandora World who dare to challenge the Godslayer alone, saints who gather the hope of the entire world.

——With my shattered body, I ignite a fierce fire, venturing alone into the Demon Realm to vanquish the celestial army!

This is the vow of that hero who perished alongside the Godslayer at the last moment.

Against that extraterrestrial enemy, the hero gathered their clan's elite and achieved a grudging victory under the protection of the World Will.

Regrettably, the destroyed world could not be restored to its original state because of this.

Moreover, the hero, who exhausted the essence of their clan, also turned into a stone statue after that battle.

Even more crucially, the Godslayer that was defeated did not completely die.

With the absurd and almost unimaginable technological power of the Godslayer Civilization, it requires a god to personally take action to truly kill a Godslayer.

After the real body of the Godslayer perished, its virus and will parasitized every corner of this world.

Any material petrified by it could spawn terrifying creatures known as "Stone Beasts."

These Stone Beasts possess terrifying power, and among them, a sort of ritualistic mutual slaughter occurs.

According to the natives of this world, once the mutual slaughter among the Stone Beasts reaches a certain peak, the slain Godslayer will have a rebirth.

This is akin to cultivating Gu.

The will of the Godslayer still lingers in this world.

Only when a Stone Beast emerges that can bear its will, will the Godslayer's will descend upon this world again.

In a sense, this is no different from the gods.

"Only the strongest individual can bear the Godslayer's will?"

As he glanced at the petrified forests and creatures below, a sinister smile appeared on Wu Kui's lips.

He did not come to this world for any salvation.

Wu Kui possesses the sub-ring of the Ring of Domination—the Ring of Reincarnation.

This Ring of Reincarnation has a special ability to perfectly mimic from soul to body.

So if Wu Kui wants to become stronger, besides continuing to advance towards the end of the Ascension Ladder, turning himself into another powerful being is also a path.

Apparently, the current Godslayer of this world is such a powerful entity.

More importantly, this Godslayer is in the weakest state, making it Wu Kui's ideal target.

Whoosh!

With such thoughts in mind, Wu Kui suddenly flapped his wings, streaking across the sky like a meteor.

To find this world's most powerful creature, to find the Stone Beast most likely to be inhabited by the Godslayer's will, Wu Kui must traverse every corner of this world.

Currently, Wu Kui has plenty of patience and time for this endeavor.

.........................................................

Whoosh!

Since Wu Kui did not disguise his actions, his whereabouts were inevitably discovered by the creatures below.

Especially when he tore through the sky like a meteor, any being with perception could sense his invincible might.

"It's the Mechanical Demon Dragon!"

Silently, a petrified entity slightly resembling Ashoron emerged from the Stone Forest.

Looking up at the sky, terror filled the eyes of this petrified entity.

"Mechanical Demon Dragon" is what those intelligent Stone Beasts call Wu Kui.

This is partly due to the immense power Wu Kui displayed, and partly because of his terrifying appearance.

Neither serpent-like nor human...

Currently, Wu Kui's upper body is a winged humanoid, with a serpentine tail extending below...

Not only that, but the humanoid upper body of Wu Kui exudes a menacing aspect.

Whether the large mechanically modified wings or the anterior mechanical pods on his arms capable of launching organic missiles, they all instill dread in onlookers.

The petrified entity once had the fortune to witness a battle between Wu Kui and another powerful Stone Beast.

Therefore, the petrified entity knows clearly that the "Mechanical Demon Dragon" is a terrifying creature with both single combat and group battle advantages.

Once targeted by it, there is almost no chance of escaping.

The only consolation is that the "Mechanical Demon Dragon" seems to be only interested in powerful Stone Beasts.

Petrified entities like itself, who were weak in life and didn't gain much after assimilation, have never been the hunt targets of the "Mechanical Demon Dragon."

"Since when… has weakness become a fortune..."

Turning to look at the Stone Forest behind it, the petrified entity's fright gradually turned into grief and indignation.

It abandoned pride, abandoned its race, even abandoned life...

In the end, it became one of the lowest creatures in this new world. Is this not a form of alternate sorrow?
