Chapter 1591: Monsters Gather

Chapter 1591: Monsters GatherAt a certain location in the fourth realm, four strange monsters appeared.

Huge black clouds covered the skies, filling their surroundings with darkness. Countless black tendrils emerged from the clouds, shrieking, "Is this the treasure of the god of creation that Aforgomon was talking about? Why can't I see anything?"

"That's the point."

A huge headless, non-humanoid shape appeared in sight. Where its four limbs would have been, four huge tentacles appeared. Instead of a head, its neck opened up into a huge, toothless mouth that yawned incessantly as if it were howling. The resulting echoes reverberated through the air, disturbing the other beings.

Another entity whose form couldn't be seen glared amidst the darkness, saliva dripping down its mouth and getting sucked right back in. It was a wall of soft mud, like a trembling pudding, with mouths and eyes studded all over its surface.

Its body was composed of some black, rubbery substance. Drool dripped down its many mouths, forming a film over the rest of its surface. Madness-inducing tunes whistled out of its many mouths.

"I seem to sense something..."

The pudding-like monster had hundreds, if not thousands, of mouths. It could easily sing and speak at the same time, but it only had one central consciousness.

Three bright red eyes in the shape of three-leaf clovers stared forward. This next lifeform had no limbs with which to move itself; rather, a black, sticky covering formed a layer of composite skin-like material that covered its pear-shaped body. It looked like a giant rat. "Aforgomon said that the god of creation's treasure would hide itself, that it's not easily found."

Shadow and fog accompanied another lifeform, making it look like a huge, glowing object in the darkness. It was a huge compound eye formed from a combination of plants and minerals.

The compound eye spoke. "Why isn't Aforgomon here to deal with such an important affair?"

Five huge monstrous beings appeared in sight, subordinates of Aforgomon who had come from Eternal Sun.

The monsters replied, "Aforgomon has to stop the Ancient Gods' Abode from making their move."

The pudding monster said, "Despite the fact that we crippled the Ancient Gods' Abode last time, their main combat forces are still going strong. They have an independent world beyond ours that poses a huge problem. "If Aforgomon weren't present, the majority of us might have been sucked into that world, never to be freed."

The monsters replied, "If we want to finish off the Ancient Gods' Abode and the Demonic Temple, we'll have to rely on ourselves."

The pudding monster nodded. "I know that we'll be able to do so if we can claim the god of creation's treasure."

The black fog asked, "In that case, how do we access it?"

The giant rat replied, "We'll have to find where it's located first."

"But how?" the black fog asked.

The monsters replied, "Aforgomon told us roughly where it is. We'll just have to attack it."

The pudding monster waved its body about. "We're skilled at that."

The giant rat seemed surprised. "Is it really that simple?"

The monsters explained, "The god of creation's treasure has rather strong defenses, and its location will be exposed the moment it starts to defend itself. Although we might end up counterattacked, it should be trivial for our lot to handle it.

The giant rat turned around and seemed to defecate. A scorching blue rock appeared in sight.

The rock was crystalline and composed of triangular and hexagonal faces up to roughly three inches in diameter. It exploded into pale-blue flames when tossed aside.

The black fog asked, "That won't hurt the god of creation's treasure, would it?"

The monsters replied, "If it could be destroyed so easily, the treasure would be useless."

The giant rat continued to launch more of the blue pellets into the air, causing miniaturized explosions one after the other. The entire land began to burn with pale-blue flames, and even a mountain seemed to have been razed to the ground. The barest outline of something could be seen amidst the flames.

As the outline appeared in sight, an electronic voice said, "External incendiary attack detected. Defensive system activated."

Light erupted from the barely visible outline. Cannon fire and blinding light illuminated its surroundings as the five monsters were struck.

The black fog shrouded the area at the forefront. A whiff of rot and decay spread out, devouring the light.

The defense system seemed to be of no use against the black fog. In the end, the black fog even burped, having devoured the source of the light.

The compound eye shot out a laser that pierced through the external defenses of the treasure.

A huge building appeared in sight, one with golden walls and an architectural style completely different from that in the dimensional realm. If Zhang Lie and the others were present, they would have recognized it immediately as the style of buildings in the Milky Way.

The black fog said, "Let's head in."

"Why don't you bring us with you?"

The five monsters saw five different monsters appear from a certain direction.

One was an octopus with many tentacled heads, with a body like scales stuck to paste. A pair of narrow wings hung to its back. Its green, bulbous, rather overweight body leaked sticky fluid. It stumbled out of an opening in the darkness like a walking mountain range.

Behind it came not darkness but starlight. Another monster, covered with gems and glittering radiance, draped in diamond dust, strode forth with molten gold eyes as it stared at the buildings up in front.

Another monster had a crystalline body that seemed to encase endless starlight. It floated in the air, its body like a cosmos, the intersection of natural law with reality. In one palm hung a small ball that looked like a world in miniature. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A fourth monster was surrounded in green flames, its other features hidden from sight with a cloak save its fiery-red eyes.

Behind them all was a huge, fiery pillar, one that radiated such intense light no one could look toward them directly.

She looked like a human woman dressed in long robes and with a helmet, giant shield, and lance.

The monsters frowned. "The Ancient Gods' Abode."

The giant rat thundered, "You beings of the Ancient Gods' Abode are just like flies!"

The pudding monster's malevolent eyes swept over the five monsters. "Kthanid of Excellence, Ulthar of Surveillance, Vorvadoss the Flaming One..."

The compound-eyed monster turned to the pillar of fire. "Orryx the Bright Flame and N'tse-Kaambl the Guardian—to think that the Ancient Gods' Abode would have sent out half its combat force for this one expedition."
