Chapter 427: Soul Devourer (1/2)

”What is the meaning of this?” I calmly demanded, not letting my power get the best of me. Yet despite my calmness, I could feel something within me bubbling like a storm ready to explode.

Covering me with various inscriptions, I could see hundreds of powerful formations trying to invade me. Yet despite their oppressive power attempting to dig into my flesh, a domineering force of darkness stormed from me, slowly igniting the wrath I kept at bay.

”Kneel,” I barked as Cloud fell to his knees at my command, allowing a sea of blood to gush from his knees.

'Sene,' Lilith called in a warning tone.

”Insignificant trash, before I peal your very soul from your existence speak,” I commanded, feeling the realm of the Bed of Chaos to be my eyes and ears. It was as if I held infinite knowledge at this moment.

”I-I-I! AAAA!~”

Piercing my hand through his skull, I tore his eye from his socket, staining my hand with blood, ”Lowly trash. Stutter once again, and I peal you alive.”

”Sene,” Lilith firmly called.

”It was only to test...”

Turning his entire body to a mist of gore, with a single snap, I sneered as his azure soul appeared within my hands, ”I need an explanation now.” I voice, arching my lips, taking the soul to my lips.

Biting down upon his soul flame, a sweet scream of heaven exploded out from within me as I slowly began to chew his immortal soul at a pace where he would sustain me and suffer.

Enjoying the screams that could last an eternity, I continued till his shrieks kept rising, begging for an end.

It was like chewing gum, except I could feel his memories were my flavor. I could see the years begin to pass, the few years of slavery under some's thrall. It was all mine to see. Yes... I could see this worm crawling from birth, its rise to power, and its end.

”ARSENE!” Lilith barked, awakening me.

”Hmm? What's up?” I asked with a smile, tasting an odd flavor within my mouth I could not even begin to describe. It was quite savourily yet sweet, and it was singing such a sweet song. Humming alongside him, I turned to Lili.

”You just killed cloud,” She coldly uttered, pointing to the blood splatter just at my feet.

”Oops.”

”Oops? Is that really all you have to say?”

”Oops,” I repeated. It was all I had to say. I could barely recall what happened, and for some reason, I was OK with it. It's not like I was trying to harm myself.

”How are we going to explain this?” Lilith voiced darkly, staring down at the bloodstain.

”We tell the truth, of course, Cloud combusted into a gore of blood. This system is used to scan the bodies down to a singularity. It is supposed to tell us if we are capable of having kids. The hell couldn't he just say that in the first place.”

”He was trying to. You were just too impatient--”

”What the hell is going on in there? Cloud, did you activate the device? What's taking so long?” A voice suddenly called over the intercom, shocking Lilith.

”No camera's soooo we just go with the flow. Let's see what happens.” I voiced with a laugh; with the memories of this place within my mind, I felt oddly relaxed.
