580 Snake Gods Invitation (1/2)
Cloth bandages were wrapped around my eyes, but blood still constantly dripped from them. Even though my eyes were completely covered, I still saw a world that was completely white and black.
Black represented death, while white represented life. Black represented evil, while white represented good.
However, I could sense that those were colors that were drawn quite casually, with very unclear boundaries. The colors were also faintly flickering and ever changing, just as if I could easily change them with a single wave of my hand, changing life and death itself, or turning around good and evil, which would allow me to…
”And then you'll die for foolishly messing with powers beyond your ability to handle.”
As always, I felt helpless from hearing my silly cat's comments. However, she was indeed correct. If I really did casually change life and death or good and evil as I pleased, this would be no different from obtaining Creator Goddess level powers. The result of this would likely be that I would instantly self-destruct and die in the very next second.
The Stare of the Hell God was far too dangerous, both to me and my enemies. This wasn't an ability that mortals should have. Until I finally reached SemiGod rank, every time I used this ability would overload myself. Using this ability too much would be utter suicide.
The first enemy that I tested this powered up ability of mine was no simple existence.
The nine Devil Lords were the nine strongest existences amongst the devils. Every single one would be incredibly difficult to deal with. All of them were famed for their power in every dimension. Ordinary human SemiGods wouldn't even have a fighting chance against them.
Even for me and my power that countered Lasnina's, I wouldn't have any way of directly attacking her until I completed my first Myth-ranked weapon. So, I could only use this ability of mine that my body wouldn't be able to actually handle until I reached SemiGod.
Since I was using my Stare of the Hell God against such a powerful enemy, my ability overloaded my physical body immediately. If Lasnina lasted for any longer, it was likely that my eyeballs would have exploded.
Any type of supernatural interference would depend on your energy level. The dominating difference in magical power meant that it would be impossible for me to kill Lasnina with just this one natural talent ability. Just like a bull trying to drag an entire train, I would soon completely overdraw myself and become useless.
Thankfully, Lasnina instantly ran away after being scared due to suffering from my ability. Once she calmed down, she would likely become even more difficult to deal with.
Currently, the inhuman pain in my eyes kept reminding me of the price I paid for a temporary victory. Until my eyes completely healed, I would be completely blind as well as unable to use my Stare of the Hell God.
Everything around me was scarily silent. However, I couldn't just casually move as I pleased, so I was rather bored.
My silly cat yawned lazily. After that fierce battle from earlier, she was also somewhat fatigued.
During that battle, I had taken a large amount of mana from her in order to constantly repair my armor. Harloys had basically acted as a living mana pool for myself.
Thanks to the mana replenishment from two Myth ranks such as myself and Harloys, the dragon armor was able to constantly fix itself rather than shattering. But even though the defense wasn't broken though, I was still filled with aches and pain all over, and the armor was filled with dents.
”Even through this armor, it wasn't very comfortable to take all those attacks from her magic sword…”
I was currently using Holy Light to soothe my own injuries. Right now, I wasn't exactly in a safe location.
This was a holy temple filled with white-robed snake-headed servants. Every single drawing and sculpture in this temple depicted only a single topic—praise for the grand Snake God Voka.
After we won against the devils' sudden ambush, I finally had the time to talk to Snake God Voka, who had been watching from the sidelines the entire time. I felt it was quite fortunate already that he never intervened in the fight… or, more accurately, I felt it was inconceivable.
But to my surprise, not only did he not show any enmity, he even invited us to his temple as guests, along with volunteering to give us assistance and teleportation portals.
There was only one law in the Chaos Abyss: the law of the jungle where the strong preyed on the weak. It would be the greatest kindness already if someone didn't attack you while you were weak down here.
