Chapter 862: The God of Heavenly Wrath, the Nine-headed Chimera (I) (1/2)

The Moon Demon God Agares smiled bitterly, “Only if I was trying to frighten you. If that’s really the case, why would I do all this? Do you think that his majesty will spare me after we get through all of this? It’s still not too late for you to take action right now. Austin Griffin still hasn’t awakened completely. Sure, it’s your companion, your brother right now, but once it truly awakens, it is a representation of pure destruction. No one can stop it. Not even gods! I know you don’t believe me. Currently, you possess the upper hand. His majesty and I are not your opponent. However, can you give me a few minutes so I can tell you a story?”

After a moment of thought, Long Haochen nodded, “Please tell me.”

Agares sighed deeply, “The story starts seven thousand years ago in a realm extremely similar to the Shengmo Dalu. Perhaps the creatures there were different, but the rulers of that world were also humans. The entire continent would regularly experience conflict, but it was basically all under the humans’ control. In that realm, forests and lakes took up an extremely large area. It was even prettier than the Shengmo Dalu right now. This continued until one day, the appearance of a powerful existence changed it all.”

“This powerful existence was Austin Griffin. When it first appeared, it only had three heads. While it was not weak, it was just a slightly stronger magical beast in the eyes of the humans that it encountered. There were even humans who tried to kill it, but it managed to flee craftily.”

As time went on, Austin Griffin began to evolve slowly. Gradually, it gained a fourth and a fifth head. Because of the humans’ attempts to hunt it down, it began to learn how to bide its time, hiding in the safe depths of the forest and slowly evolving its powers. When it appeared before the humans again, it already possessed six heads, which were six elements. It had already become rather powerful then. Regular human powerhouses were nowhere close to being its opponent.”

“It began slaughtering humans in revenge. Despite its intelligence, it was still unable to take on the human powerhouses, while its cultivation continued to evolve at a steady pace. After a hundred years, it finally grew its eighth head. At that time, it believed it was powerful enough, so it no longer hid anymore, fully displaying its terrifying power of destruction. Its terrifying strength made it almost invincible. After causing several massacres, it finally raised the attention of the humans. A large quantity of human powerhouses from that realm gathered together and began to hunt it down. Finally, they trapped it in a valley and engaged in an intense battle.

“The eight-headed Austin Griffin was very powerful, but there was just too many humans. After a battle that lasted for two days and two nights, Austin Griffin was finally defeated and heavily wounded. However, it had to be mentioned that with eight heads, it was already rather powerful, so it managed to escape. Its escape also happened to be the biggest mistake that the humans of that realm had committed, leading to destruction of all life in that realm.”

“After escaping, Austin Griffin engaged in secluded cultivation, using over another century to recover. It knew that it was not powerful enough to dominate the entire realm. As a result, it hid away and continued to cultivate, until over another century later, it finally completed its final breakthrough, finally awakening. It reappeared on the continent and this time, it became synonymous with destruction.”

Reaching there, fear flooded Agares’ eyes. This story had been passed down among the demons. Although he had not been present when it happened, Agares still experienced deep fear even when it came from the memories of the first Moon Demon God.

The Demon God Emperor lowered his head and said nothing. He let Agares continue his narration.

“There was destruction, endless destruction. When Austin Griffin appeared in that realm again, the entire continent faced a terrifying storm of destruction. Austin Griffin was just too powerful, so powerful that nothing could oppose it. Nothing could oppose its terrifying destruction. In less than a month, it had killed all of the creatures over a third of the continent. Whether it were plants, magical beasts or regular creatures, they were all reduced to nothing before its aura of destruction. A third of the continent lost everything that once lived there, unable to recover ever again.”
