Chapter 288 - The Strong Devour the Weak

Chapter 288 - The Strong Devour the Weak

Noah’s body pierced through the mountain as if it was butter, his speed increasing ever so slightly as the passive ability of the [Lesser Cthulhu] skill tree boosted his speed to insane degrees.

The [Child of Space] ability was even more profound, causing him to feel as if the mass of earth he was drilling through was as soft as paper, his descent down not deterred one bit as he shot towards the core of this Icebound World in a similar manner as the Demon World some time back.

The layers of freezing earth around him only became colder and harder the further down he went. This process continued for quite some time until he broke through the last layer and arrived at the innermost core layer of the Icebound World.

The area he broke into was a mystical white world of ice that held a different type of beauty. At the center of it, an extremely frigid core that let out an otherworldly essence roasted slowly, wisps of white occasionally leaving it and going to the space above.

Even Noah’s extremely strong body shivered as he adapted to the extremely cold conditions in the inner core of this Icebound World. He was about to address the Planetary Core in front of him when a cold voice reached his ears first.

[During your first intrusion, you left behind your underlings as they went on to wreak havoc and break the natural order of my world.]

The voice of the Planetary System of the Icebound World felt extremely frigid as is continued.

[Now, you return once more and do the blasphemous action of intruding in a space that no beings like you should be intruding in. Who- No, What are you?]

It was an extremely monotone voice that held a hint of coldness, being very much alike with the world it was overlooking as Noah replied with a light smile.

"It doesn’t really matter who I am. What I am curious about is why you allowed the Ice Giants to wage wars and slaughter so many of the species that reside on you. If I hadn’t moved, millions would have eventually fallen into the hands of the Ice Giants."

Noah asked the question he always wondered about when he first chose to send the Emperor Penguin and others into the Icebound World. It was a world undergoing constant war because of the Ice Giants, where they had gained so much power that the other races were on the race of being wiped out.

The Planetary Systems of the Beast World, Demon World, and even his own home world held a level of influence over the beings residing in them, where they would occasionally choose the most powerful beings in the world as the representatives that maintained balance and order.

Yet, this Planetary System of the Icebound World wasn’t facing any threats or extinction from outside forces, but because of its own races hunting one another.

[The strong are naturally devoured by the weak. The Ice Giants were born with stronger bodies and more power, thus it was within their right to seek for domination as they increased their strength.]

Noah was startled at this cold reply that matched the environment of this world as the Planetary System continued.

[Things were following their natural order all this time, and I would have been able to raise the strongest champions that had devoured weakened beings that could not defend themselves. I would have raised an army of battle driven Giants that would defend this world against all outside forces.]

The voice tapered off near the end as Noah felt the distinct universal laws that prevented the Planetary Cores from acting become denser around him as the will of the Icebound World focused on him.

[But then you came along, and brought in a stronger force that took down the beings I was raising. I hold no resentment, as it is according to the Universal Laws. The strong will devour the weak. So, now that you have conquered my world, are you planning to devour it?]

The cold voice remained strong and monotone throughout, the rigidness not leaving it even once as it asked a question pertaining to the survival of billions of the beings living in the Icebound World like nothing. Its choice of words was extremely ironic when looking at what was about to happen!

A bright smile filled Noah’s face as he replayed the words of the Planetary System and replied, vigorous essence beginning to bloom from him as a devilish aura began to permeate throughout.

"In a sense, yes."

His body turned a shade of red and began bulging up as he used this instance to activate a skill he very much wanted to observe since he got his hands on it.

The [Morph] ability under his recently upgraded skill tree of the [Amorphous Space Beast] which allowed him to take the form of the [Lesser Cthulhu] was activated!

OOONG!

Tremendous levels of energy erupted with Noah at the center, his body ballooning up immensely as his size began to skyrocket unlike any form he had taken before.

He kept his distinctly humanoid appearance, but even halfway through his transformation, his size had already reached 10 meters as vigorous layers of rubbery muscles continued to erupt, break, and form all around him.

Devilish wings palpitating with the mysterious energy of Aether erupted from his back as they spread out to become wider and wider. The most terrifying thing was his face, which was beginning to adopt the outline of an octopus-like head with numerous feelers and tentacles pulsing with terrible energy erupting out on the lower half of his head!

His eyes began glowing with a bloody shade of red as his transformation finished. He floated proudly in the frigid inner layer of the Icebound World as his form went past twenty meters, humanoid in appearance but taking on the shape of something much more terrifying above his chest.

SHAAA!

A terrible purple-blue aura released from his body as it welcomed the advent of the form of a being filled with tremendous power. This was the [Lesser Cthulhu]!

Gargantuan!

Enormous!

Monstrous!

This was the only thing that could be used to describe the body still maintaining a humanoid shape but trembling with energies of the mystical Aether element all over this body.

His humongous arms were filled with extremely strong muscle fibers that palpated with power, bony claws that trembled with the power of Aether dangerously shining. His entire figure then gained a hue of blue-purple light as his blood-red eyes looked down at the rotating Planetary Core once more. A voice that was his yet not his was released from him, a sense of authority never before heard being carried in it!

"Sadly, you are right. The strong do devour the weak in this expansive Universe."

He raised his humongous hands palpitating with power as he cast yet another skill, this time being a skill from the series of abilities from the <<Absolute Sin>>.

[Devouring], a sub skill of the Ultimate Sin of Gluttony was cast as Noah repeated something extremely similar to what he had done to the planetary core of the Demon World!

"Though I am slightly different, so I’ll give you a choice on whether you will be among the strong, or be yet another casualty under these established Universal Laws."
