As the first rays of sunlight illuminated the land in the early morning, a soldier of the Edolas Kingdom yawned, gazing at the empty expanse before him. For the past few months, numerous monsters had suddenly emerged within the Edolas Kingdom.
Initially, they simply regarded these monsters as new types of magical beasts. After all, the world saw the emergence of various new monsters every day. For example, low-level monsters like the Fang Wolves and Slimes, due to differences in their living environments and evolutionary paths, would transform into entirely new monster species.
However, they soon realized something was amiss. The monsters appearing within the Edolas Kingdom were not magical beasts at all; they couldn't even be considered living beings. They were merely agglomerations of flesh and blood, their internal structures utterly chaotic and twisted.
During this time, many human mages, driven by curiosity, captured these monsters and took them back for research. But the more they studied these creatures, the more perplexed they became. Aside from the monsters' completely distorted physical structures, even when dissected into fragments, each piece of flesh seemed to possess independent activity.
Flesh, skin, tendons, and even the hair on these monsters existed independently, as if their previous form was merely an aggregate of them—an indescribable mass of flesh formed by countless monsters.
What terrified the mages most was that these monsters lacked souls. They possessed only an instinctual desire to devour everything, driven by endless hunger. Moreover, anything they consumed would be rapidly absorbed or assimilated, making these monsters even stronger.
In other words, these monsters would endlessly increase in number as long as they continued to eat, eventually becoming infinite.
"Olicy, have you noticed anything?"
At that moment, a soldier approached the yawning soldier from behind, patting him on the shoulder and asking.
"Oh, it's Gene. What could I have found? All those monsters vanished without a trace three days ago. By the way, Gene, you're well-informed. Do you think those monsters might have gathered together to invade other kingdoms?"
Olicy turned to look at his comrade who had come to relieve him, then gazed at the desolate and silent land below the city walls, his eyes filled with unconcealed fear. Just three days ago, this silent expanse had been teeming with densely packed monsters surging forward like a tide.
At that time, countless monsters had climbed the city walls over the bodies of their own kind. Olicy had personally witnessed his comrades being torn apart by the monsters' fangs or swallowed by the mud-like creatures. The soldiers' dying screams, roars, and the monsters' chewing sounds filled the entire battlefield, and the entire defense line was on the verge of collapse.
The mages in the rear had even considered abandoning them, the frontline soldiers, planning to obliterate the city and the monsters with magic.
But then, those monsters, which were about to occupy the entire city and open a path to their kingdom, suddenly stopped their attack. To the horror and confusion of the surviving soldiers, all the monsters turned and left, returning to the Edolas Kingdom.
"No, those monsters didn't go to invade other kingdoms. In fact, even the monsters that were attacking other kingdoms all returned to the Edolas Kingdom."
Gene shook his head, looking at Olicy, whose eyes were filled with fear. According to the information he had received, not only the monsters attacking their Olister Kingdom, but also the monsters on the defense lines of the Ister Kingdom, the Leolis Kingdom, and the Monster Kingdom of Leword in the other three directions had all suddenly returned to the Edolas Kingdom three days ago.
In the following three days, these monsters had vanished as if they had never existed, never attacking them again. Several kingdoms, out of curiosity and caution, had sent soldiers to investigate within the Edolas Kingdom, but without exception, all the soldiers who went to investigate in the Edolas Kingdom never returned.
Even more terrifying was the Ister Kingdom's defense line. A squad of soldiers had just stepped into the territory of the Edolas Kingdom, less than a hundred meters, when they were instantly swallowed by the ground beneath their feet. It was then that the major kingdoms realized that the land within the Edolas Kingdom had become a land of flesh and blood, with wriggling ground and pulsating veins visible.
Moreover, that land of flesh and blood was constantly growing. Currently, the Scarlet Plains, where the Ister Kingdom and the Edolas Kingdom had once fought, had been completely eroded, turning into a true plain of flesh and blood.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"What... what is that!?"
Just as Gene and Olicy were chatting, they suddenly felt the city walls beneath their feet begin to shake violently. When Olicy turned to look down at the city walls, he saw the entire earth shaking, and a black line appeared at the end of their vision.
A few seconds later, the black line began to enlarge, turning into a surging mass of monsters as far as the eye could see, rushing towards them madly, the dust they kicked up even obscuring the sky, and the earth constantly shaking.
"Enemy... enemy attack!!"
Looking at the monsters surging across the land, Gene and Olicy's terrified shouts echoed on the city walls. Immediately afterward, a loud bell rang from a fortress not far from the two, and instantly, a noisy sound arose within the entire city, and many soldiers, wearing armor and holding weapons, climbed up the city walls.
Following them, mages who had just gotten out of bed and hadn't even tidied their robes also came up, looking at the monsters that were less than a few kilometers away from the city walls, their dense numbers seemingly about to engulf the entire city.
"How is this possible! There are so many monsters!"
A mage flew into the sky, looking at the monsters below that completely covered the entire land, it was simply an ocean of monsters, completely beyond the mage's imagination.
"Careful!"
At that moment, a soldier below suddenly looked up and shouted a warning to the mage above, but it was too late. A huge monster, half dragon's head and half wolf's head, suddenly swooped down from above the mage, its massive body making the mage look like an ant, and directly smashed him into a bloody mist.
"Run... run away!"
Seeing the monster nearly a hundred meters long and crashing down like a mountain in front of them, many soldiers turned and ran towards the bottom of the city walls, unable to muster any courage to resist such a monster.
Boom!
In the next second, before the soldiers could turn around, the monster's massive body directly crashed into the city walls. The seemingly indestructible city walls were instantly smashed by the monster's huge body, and all the soldiers and mages on the city walls were directly crushed into minced meat.
"Roar!!"
On the collapsed city walls, the behemoth, a hundred meters long and thirty meters high, raised its head and let out a terrifying roar. Countless gluttonous monsters surged into the city from beside it like a tide, and many humans who hadn't reacted were instantly torn apart and devoured by the onrushing gluttonous monsters.
In the morning sunlight, the entire city was stained with blood, and countless monsters wantonly destroyed and devoured everything in the city, whether it was hiding humans, poultry, or houses, and the ground, all were devoured.
"The souls are not enough!"
Oz and Chris sensed the souls being absorbed by the Slime clone integrated into their chests, raised their four savage pupils, and looked forward, where the territory of the Eriste Kingdom was located, where the souls needed by their master were located.
"Go! Plunder everything, devour everything, dedicate everything to the master~!"
The ferocious wolf's head let out a terrifying roar, and countless gluttonous monsters, under Oz's command, surged into the territory of the Olister Kingdom. After nearly a million gluttonous monsters had entered the Olister Kingdom, Oz and Chris raised their dragon claws and stomped heavily on the ground.
Crack!
In the next second, cracks spread around the dragon claws as the center, and finally a huge sinkhole nearly two hundred meters in diameter appeared, and on the walls around the sinkhole, monsters transformed from earthworms, each tens of meters long, appeared.
Then, the huge dragon wings slowly flapped, and Oz and Chris landed in the sinkhole. At the entrance of the cave, gluttonous monsters transformed from earthworms began to repair the entrance. After a few minutes, the entire entrance of the sinkhole completely disappeared.
"This is it, let's begin!"
At the bottom of the dark sinkhole, Oz looked around and nodded in satisfaction. Chris on the side silently raised his dragon claw and carefully took out the Slime clone from his chest, then injected magic into it. Instantly, a chaotic and twisted force field spread around the Slime as the center, the earth began to activate, the insects in the soil began to mutate, and everything began to become twisted and indescribable.
"So beautiful! Why did we refuse such beautiful and powerful power in the first place!"
Chris looked at everything constantly chaotic and twisted around him, and a fascinated and fanatical light appeared in his golden dragon pupils. Oz beside him was almost the same as Chris at this time, completely in the appearance of a fanatical believer.
Not long ago, Oz in front of the treasure house noticed that the mastermind behind everything was Sally, but Flora at that time stood in front of the treasure house to prevent it from entering. There was no way Oz could only go to find Chris above the treasure house, wanting to trap Flora with it, and then enter the treasure house.
However, when Oz found Chris, he realized that it was already completely immersed in madness at that time. The two dragon heads were constantly killing each other, and even the body seemed to have two consciousnesses, constantly fighting each other.
Seeing this scene, Oz didn't care about anything else, and rushed up directly wanting to stop Chris's two dragon heads, but what it didn't expect was that at the moment it approached, the two dragon heads that were still killing each other suddenly launched an attack on it.
Completely giving up defense, frantically attacking, the two dragon heads frantically gnawed at its body, and even Chris's body grew roots of fleshy buds several meters long, like vipers drilling into its body, sucking its flesh and blood.
Under the crisis of death, Oz's reason, which was already barely maintained under the erosion of the Gluttony sin, directly collapsed, turning into a mindless monster, and began to gnaw at each other with Chris.
