Chapter 733

Leon imagined that at some point, the creator of the system would try to steal their mana, but he didn't imagine that he would be able to do that on all the living beings in the entire universe. Fortunately, even though the creator could do that, he wasn't omnipotent. He couldn't just steal all their mana in the blink of an eye.

When the darkness was dispelled, Leon saw that all the nearby stars got much closer than before. It was only a matter of seconds before Tyrselle's attack could land. Leon and Ilyana readied themselves to attack as well, but they stopped in a moment due to the shock when they noticed the thing in front of them.

"What the hell…" Leon opened his eyes widely.

In front of them lies a gigantic and grotesque body. Leon thought the aura of the creator was big, but it was only thanks to its massive mana pool. That wasn't the case. No wonder the creator of the system said that the monsters were fragments of its body. It was much bigger than the galactic snake�� it was much bigger than Earth itself. The body was quite humanoid-ish, but it was so large that the creator has space in its trunk to have ten arms on each side. The arms weren't quite like humans, though. They had fingers, but only three, and the arms' movements resembled quite a bit of tentacle. As if that wasn't gross enough, the legs of the monsters were equally weird and grotesque. Red, hairy, and too small in comparison to the arms, but the numbers were unreal. At the very least, the numbers were larger than Leon could count in a few minutes. Although the legs were small compared to the arms, those were much larger than any buildings Leon had seen in his entire life.

However, what creeped them out them more than anything was the nearly infinite number of eyelids in that body. In every single part, they could see a pair, but the eyelids were just a minor, aesthetic problem in their eyes because, behind the eyelids, they could feel the existence of a nervous system.

"Are you surprised? I suppose my body is strange by your standards. All of you had the power to change your bodies at will, but neither of you did it because of pesky reasons. You three imagined that the system would be enough to make you stronger, and it did, but this body is what makes our strengths so far apart."

The monster was right. Even though Leon, Ilyana, and Tyrselle didn't have the same technology Crik had to change the bodies of many, they could use mana in many ways, including to change their bodies. They have the knowledge of how to create monsters, after all. So, something like that would be easy. However, they didn't want to change because they didn't want to become monsters themselves like the bizarre creature in front of them.

While she was preparing her mana to use time magic at a moment's notice, Leon reunited all the mana he could gather in a single point. He wished that he had created that spell faster, but it was a bit too late for Leon to wish for that. While the massive sphere of mana was decreasing in size, Leon saw a small grin in the mouth of that massive monster that was located in the center of its body.

"Two massive, powerful attacks and a vast concentration of mana that can make her control time freely to the point where she can negate all the events that she wants. As expected, you three reached the apex of your physical forms. However, that isn't enough… let me teach you one last thing before you cease to exist. Mana is the power of the mind, the older you get, the stronger your mind becomes, but there is a limit to how much stronger a single mind can become. No matter how powerful you are, a single brain can only store so much information, after all."

Although Leon always liked new pieces of information, he didn't like that one. Essentially, at least when it comes to the use of mana, the most powerful brain wins. Still, when two enemies have equally the same amount of power and their brains been equally powerful, who will win? The one who has the best strategy, probably. However, even that wouldn't guarantee a victory. There is another method to guarantee victory, increase the number of brains.

"Let's see if your grotesque body is powerful enough to endure this," Tyrselle said.

Several planets and stars passed by them from all directions and headed toward the creator of the system at an astonishing speed. However, the creature wasn't fazed by that attack or by Tyrselle's words. Suddenly, some of its eyelids opened, and that shot mana beams toward those celestial bodies. As if massive planes and stars were just small stones to that creature, he destroyed them all without even showing any sign of effort.

Leon and Ilyana opened their eyes widely while the small pieces of those stars hit their Mana Barriers. Tyrselle didn't let that faze that. Instead, she focused even more on increasing the speed of the other stars that were coming. However, time and time again, those eyes shot mana beams that hit those planets, causing massive explosions and eradicating them. After a while, even Tyrselle was left with her mouth hanging open.

"Don't feel too bad about this. As I said before, mana is the power of the mind. It is only natural that someone like me, who has millions of minds and hundreds of thousands of years of experience, can do this with ease."

Leon bit his lips in annoyance. Although the monster didn't have a condescending attitude, its words were already getting on his nerves. Leon had to finish that right now. He couldn't let things end like that.
