29: Chapter 31 Traversing Cosmic Dimensions: A Divinity That Feeds on Worlds!

"Wh-, What?"

Branch Captain raised his head in a daze.

Habitually, he looked over in the direction pointed by Zheng Fei.

Then, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

The sky... went dark...

In the cloudless sky, a mirage-like image appeared.

The background was the boundless universe.

Countless planetary debris floated in the void, filled with an aura of decay and destruction.

Most eye-catching of all.

Was obviously the world-devouring monster beside it.

Clack— —

Clack— —

Its head split open, transforming into a ferocious maw, countless dense, sharp teeth rolling as it easily chewed on one world after another; the fate of the vast universe returning to silence and destruction was evidently caused by it.

Its terrifying body could not be described in words.

It was roughly an extremely long, strip-like shape.

Its diameter was comparable to a small satellite, and its length was endless, with circles of black rings covering its brown body.

Seeming like decorative patterns, they were actually individual kingdoms, inhabited by all sorts of bizarre races.

If one observed more closely.

One could even discover that every time it finished chewing on a world.

An extra circle of black rings would appear on its body; the dead creatures would appear once again in the world within the rings, but they no longer possessed freedom, instead being infected by its power and transformed into its slaves!

"Holy shit!"

"What on earth is this monster?!"

Branch Captain's pupils contracted, and he almost failed to hold back a torrent of profanity.

"This..."

Even Commissioner Zheng beside him could no longer maintain his composure, his expression changing drastically, unable to hide his shock.

In his wide-open eyes.

There was even a hint of indescribable terror.

Before they could think too much.

"Screee—"

A harsh noise resembling insect chirping rang in everyone's heart, the terrifying cry striking directly at their souls.

The vast majority of people were stimulated to the point of bleeding from their ears and noses.

"Blood?"

The moist feeling on his ear made Zheng Fei instinctively touch it.

After bringing it in front of his eyes.

Unsurprisingly, it was a patch of bright red.

With his eardrums punctured and capillaries cracking and bleeding, Zheng Fei, who had a deep understanding of human medicine, judged the injury without hesitation, but he was in no mood to deal with it.

Because an even more terrifying thing had happened!

It!

This world-devouring monster.

Raised its head from the meteorite asteroid belt where it was entrenched, stopped chewing on the stellar debris, and turned its head to look at them.

Its cold gaze crossed the void.

As if sensing something, it suddenly charged forward; despite its sky-obscuring size, its speed was beyond imagination.

With a flash of light and shadow, it crossed countless distances.

Coming before a shattered crack, it then fiercely crashed inward.

Boom!

Invisible sound waves bloomed.

Fully illustrating what was meant by the greatest sound being formless.

Clearly nothing had happened.

But beneath the vast sky, a tear suddenly appeared, a fissure emerging in mid-air like an ugly scar.

And this was just the beginning.

Its towering body slammed forward with all its might, and the crack quickly turned into an abyss-like giant mouth.

— —

Just as countless people trembled inwardly.

With hair standing on end across their bodies.

And their bodies frozen with fear by the scene before them.

Clack— —

The sound of the Gear rotating rang out.

The long-silent Gear finally projected new content.

"It's! The Observer! It has appeared!"

As an exclamation rang out.

On the blank interface, a large string of text suddenly appeared. While revealing the monster's data, it also plunged their moods to rock bottom.

The heart that had been hanging finally died.

[Spacetime Worm]

[Category: Divine Creature]

[Originally a giant worm-like creature on a distant planet, feeding on the crust. Planets chewed on by it would turn into a sponge-like shape, full of holes everywhere, with the underground resembling a maze...]

[During a certain feeding, it swallowed an unknown crystal, gaining spacetime-type abilities. From then on, it fed on worlds, broke through racial bottlenecks, and through successive transformations, became a being beyond imagination...]

[The worlds eaten by it, all the living beings within the worlds will be infected by its power, turning into parasites living in the spacetime rings on its body. Within each spacetime ring, a world is contained.]

[Weak worlds will be digested as nourishment, and weak races will also be reduced to food scraps.]

[Owned Worlds: Seven hundred and thirty-two]

[Parasitic Races: One thousand two hundred and thirty-one]

[...]

"World-devouring monster? Everything it eats can be transformed into its power? Even scraps can be digested a second time?"

"That's way too ruthless, right? Your home gets eaten, and you still have to work for the enemy? You're such a capitalist for the people!"

"Wake up, do you think with these arms and legs of ours, we can withstand its power infection? Do we even qualify to be its parasitic race? Stop messing around, being reduced to food scraps is the only outcome..."

"MMP! I don't want to die! Whoever the fuck wants to be a scrap can go be one, any gods and Buddhas from the heavens, come save me!"

"..."

The livestream chat screen surged wildly.

The terror of the Spacetime Worm made people feel enveloped by despair.

In the hearts of the Netizens, it was as if thick dust had been cast over them, plunging their entire beings into darkness and despair.

As if looking up just slightly would allow them to see their great-grandmothers.

Despair!

Sorrow!

...

Various negative emotions continuously brewed in their hearts.

Those who previously thought the ancient sword was awesome, capable of easily sealing divinity and resolving the crisis.

Completely lost all confidence and dared not hold onto such 'delusions' anymore.

The Spacetime Worm had already proved the true value of divinity with facts.

Over seven hundred worlds.

Among them, there was no lack of highly developed civilizations no less inferior to Blue Star, and those that had stepped into the interstellar era were not lacking either.

Over a thousand races.

Besides common monsters, there were also many ferocious and terrifying freaks comparable to Godzilla.

Powerful as they were, they still became its rations.

The sky-obscuring figure.

Caused the entire world to be shrouded in darkness, plunging countless people into trembling.

At this very moment!

Heaven and Earth— — Sealed— —

The soaring flames dyed most of the sky red, transforming the azure sky into the shape of a flaming cloud.

In the vast fire clouds.

Countless ancient patterns blossomed.

It's! The ancient sword!

The ancient sword held silently in Li Li's hands suddenly bloomed with boundless brilliance.

And right at this moment.

Someone finally noticed.

As Li Li arrived at Yanta District and inserted the ancient sword into this piece of land.

The high temperature, which had originally climbed to 950 degrees, instantly skyrocketed exponentially, breaking through the one-thousand mark in an instant and soaring to 6,000 degrees. The terrifying high temperature burned all matter in Yanta District into flames.

But what shocked people was that.

These burning buildings were not burned to ashes by the firelight, but instead coexisted with the flames, transforming into a glazed state.

Over a hundred square kilometers of land.

Just like that!

Turned into a kingdom of flames in their eyes.

The leaping flames.

Were like little sprites of fire.

Interweaving into complex patterns, spreading toward the crack.
