When they met again, Lu Ping’an’s opponent, the once unrivaled "World Devourer," had completely ceased to be human.
Non-human, in the literal sense...
"Aaaahhh, Lu Ping’an!"
The loud and aged cry echoed in the Snow Mountain, the massive figure stepping on the mountain peaks. This half-mad "Demon," still searching for its arch-nemesis.
Is this the end for a professional? Lu Ping’an shook his head—maybe this was the finality for the "Mother Goddess," the "Father God." A normal professional was always one, not many.
The entity before him was an entirely new species, or perhaps an assembled life form.
It might still maintain a human form, looking like a Twisted Tree Spirit (flesh version) made up of countless mounds of mud, but it was already dozens of stories tall. Its body was adorned with innumerable heads, claws, and tails. Just the eyes that served as decoration numbered at least a thousand... Those heads constantly searched and roared but could never locate their mortal enemy.
It was forever in battle, with opponents, with itself... Those huge chunks of flesh saw heads biting each other, claws tearing at one another.
It seemed like a mass of flesh, always in battle and tearing at itself, yet it resembled the end of numerous lives.
This horrifying, yet somehow familiar scene, not only made Lu Ping’an sigh at the tricks of fate but also rendered Chris silent.
Perhaps, it was just a "what if"...
"Could I possibly become like this? If I succeed..."
The past Chris saw nothing wrong with a little distortion, mutation, non-human—it might just be the price of growth and evolution.
But now, was this "Legion Beast" really her dream and the path to evolution?
"Heh, Father God? Father God Beast?"
Just by looking at its exterior, Lu Ping’an could know everything that had happened before.
The fundamental ability of a Beast Tamer was to "share" traits with the beasts they tamed, gradually moving toward a non-human realm through incessant Beast Taming... but this was a "normal" Beast Tamer.
"The doctrine of the Mother Goddess cult, all things converge into one..."
The Evil God Beast Taming Path of the Mother Goddess cult naturally had its "unique aspects."
"...The Beast Tamers of the Mother Goddess cult see their beasts as their own bloodline, their own children. Therefore, returning to the mother is also the right way, isn’t it?"
The Beast Tamers of the Mother Goddess cult regarded their beasts as "buns" ... the kind you can eat.
They were not content with just sharing but preferred to cultivate demons with the "traits" they needed and, at maturity, assimilate them into themselves.
The "characteristics" obtained in this way were naturally stronger and more complete than those acquired through sharing.
But as a consequence...
"He must have lost all reason by now..."
If one truly understands the teachings of the Mother Goddess cult, one would know it is both Devouring and Fusion, and only "convergence" in life holds evolutionary value.
So, how can you be sure that the entity, which has merged everything, is really still you?
".....The strongest can gain dominance, but if one loses oneself in the process of fusion, it can be accepted because the new you will undoubtedly be stronger than the old you."
"Alright, thank you, Mother Goddess, for explaining the doctrine of the Mother Goddess cult..... but what should we do about this thing in front of us?"
Right in front of Lu Ping’an, the banshee wailed again, as countless Spider Demons descended from the heavens, and this time, even the smallest one carried the might to shatter mountains.
They bit and tore at the giant before them..... the Giant Beast, yet it seemed as if the beast disregarded everything.
It simply spread countless arms, claws, wings, and tails, grabbing other Spider Demons to try to stuff them into its body.
Yet even though it fully dominated in terms of strength, its efforts were doomed to be futile.
Because those "Doomsday Spiders" were actually not life forms, soon, like what Lu Ping’an had encountered, they turned directly into ash, sending the famished beast into a thunderous rage... but there were no other living creatures left around the giant beast.
At this moment, Bane’s century-old super legion had disappeared without a trace!
".....Even us Beast Tamers from this path would not lightly undergo ’fusion’, unless absolutely necessary. Theoretically, it doesn’t matter who emerges victorious from a fusion, but indeed there have been cases of beastification, confusion in self-cognition, and regression in language function..."
Eating one might regress your intelligence, this thing in front of us, just how many has it consumed.....
"Probably all of them... In times of need, taming can be used as a ’blood bottle’ to distribute injuries and increase the upper limit of one’s life essence."
Clearly, in the brutal and lengthy three days of bloodshed, continuously battling outward while dealing with the curse and life drain within, he kept "feeding."
"He has devoured his entire legion..."
When feeding reaches a certain point, when all biological instincts turn into "fusion," he can no longer stop himself, he has countless mouths to satiate his endless hunger..... those Magic Pets that had made pacts with it could not resist at all and became part of the new life form.
And to have consumed so much in such a short time... it’s likely that Bane has essentially "lost himself," and what remains here are only hateful ghosts.
".....Yesterday, it was at least vaguely human-shaped."
This did not happen overnight. Yesterday, he was still an erect, simian giant beast with his own legion.
But upon seeing him now, his form has swelled once more, his body shifting from one, into a "multitude"..... The army of Magical Beasts surrounding it, even with Lu Ping’an’s Eye of Truth, he could no longer find even one.
Frankly, things have come to this point, Bane was already finished. Lu Ping’an could simply leave and let him fall apart on his own.
"Then, a Magic Monster of nearly Quasi-God level will appear here, screaming Lu Ping’an’s name while devouring everything in sight, with the nearest city of the Red Star Republic as its primary target..."
"If it were the Huaqi Federation..... never mind, I don’t want to become the enemy of all humankind."
If he really created a natural disaster, causing tens of thousands, millions of deaths, no matter which continent or country, Lu Ping’an didn’t think it was a good thing.
It might be doomed to self-destruct, merely this level of "melding" is not the "unity" interpreted by the Mother Goddess. Once it reaches a certain completeness, it is destined to perish, disintegrate..... but before it falls apart on its own, it could easily take millions, even tens of millions of lives with it.
"Ah ah ah... why will you never let us go!"
"Lu Ping’an, where are you?!"
When the super monster in front of him once again let out a cry like a chorus of men and women, the called upon Lu Ping’an knew he might still have to face it.
But at this moment, he was unnervingly calm.
No matter how powerful and strong the "Father God" in front of him may be, what is there to fear from just a "Beast" like himself....
