Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 628 Disruption and Corruption

Chapter 628 Disruption and Corruption

And this attack came right before the Rainbow Dude could do anything about it.

"Grya!!!"

Two objects, whose sizes were enough to loom over continents themselves, shot out directly towards the Rainbow Dude, with their speeds enough to break the very air itself.

"Dong!"

The way that they approached the Rainbow Dude with all their momentum made it obvious that they were intended to kill him, a fact that chilled his heart.

"Gruo..."

These two objects were something that the Rainbow Dude had seen before, although they appeared to be different from what they had originally looked.

These objects were Alex’s Rainbow-Colored Abyss Pillar and his Abyssal Tree, both of which appeared to be a much worse version of themselves right now.

The Rainbow-Colored Abyss Pillar did not have any semblance of order anymore. Its solid body was currently resembling a melting slime, with its contents sloshing everywhere as if they were about to pour out.

The colors radiating out of the pillar did not look right too, as each color looked like they were created from hell itself.

The Red color looked like pulsing blood, while the Green color appeared as if it was extracted from an alien’s flesh. The other colors were just as bad, with their combinations making everything look much worse.

Seeing these colors will be enough to make anyone sick, and even the Rainbow Dude was not spared.

[D????i??????e??????????a???????n??????d????????????s???????u???????f??????f????e????r???????!???]

Upon seeing these twisted colors, the Rainbow Dude let out a shout of pain, as countless mind-breaking hallucinations suddenly sprung inside his mind.

[D???????e????s??????p???a?????i??????r??????!???????]

"Argh!"

[G?????r????i????e??????v????e??????!????]

Nightmarish images, chilling screams, and crazy whisperings were all the things that the Rainbow Dude ’saw’ in his hallucinations, and there is not a single one from them that he was able to tolerate.

[F????e?????e???????l??????????p???a?????i??????n?????!????]

"Argh!!!"

[A????g??????o???n?????i???z????e??????]

The Rainbow Dude could feel his sanity slipping more and more as he got exposed to the hallucinations, a fact that spelled disaster for him.

"Argh! If this goes on, I will not just die. I will die in pain, with the whispers of the Abyss corrupting me! This death... is not something that I should experience!" The Rainbow Dude shouted inwardly as he tried his best to resist the hallucinations. "Argh! Go away my nightmares! Go away!"

[N??????E????V????E????R??????]

This resistance of his of course failed, as these hallucinations were all backed by a trace of Transcendent Power.

"Argh! Why does even my opponent have a power related to the Abyss? This is not right!"

**********

As a creature created by a powerful being, the Rainbow Dude has a lot of info about the most dangerous places inside the Multiverse.

One of the places that he knew the most was the Abyss, which in a sense, was a place that was just as ’evil’ as Chaos.

Of course this ’evil’ is meant in a relative sense, as these two places had their own ways of showing their ’evilness’.

While Chaos’ goal was to ’Disrupt’ everything, the goal of the Abyss was to ’Corrupt’ everything.

These two goals were vastly different, although both were meant to bring an end to the current state of the Multiverse.

This difference was a topic that the Rainbow Dude was always fascinated before, as he found it enticing to see that different kinds of evil can actually exist in the Multiverse.

This interest of his was actually one of the reasons why the Rainbow Dude has decided to approach Alex.

After all, Alex was the Envoy of the Abyss Realm, so getting more data from him will benefit the Rainbow Dude.

If his plans regarding Alex had succeeded, then the Rainbow Dude could have gathered data from Alex leisurely.

But reality did not go that way, as instead of having a leisure time, the Rainbow Dude just found himself on the brink of death!

*********

"The goal of the Abyss and its creatures were just simple. They want to corrupt everything, and make all the beings in the Multiverse as the Abyss’ pious servants...".

With the remaining bit of his sanity left, the Rainbow Dude tried to recall everything about the Abyss, as he thought that this could help him out of his current dilemma.

"The Abyss is willing to do anything just to achieve this goal, but because of the Laws present in the Multiverse, the Abyss has to be careful on its actions... So it had to make do with sneaky contracts and offers to entice many, and it won’t hesitate to use magic just to deceive others."

"That is how dangerous the Abyss is, to the point that my Father said that I must not make any contact with it unless necessary..."

But no matter what thinking the Rainbow Dude has tried now, it did not give him any way to free himself.

He was still stuck on his spot, with the power of the mutated Abyssal Pillar breaking his mind into countless pieces.

In fact, the Rainbow Dude’s actions just made his situation worse, as his extra thinking allowed the nightmares and hallucinations to take more root inside his mind.

And to make everything worse, the Abyssal Tree has begun completing its approach on the Rainbow Dude too!

"Suo!"

Just like the Abyssal Pillar, the Abyssal Tree did not look like its normal self. Its tree trunk was not a tree trunk anymore, as it just appeared to be a pulsating fleshy finger.

As for its leaves and branches, they looked like desiccated skeletal limbs, with fleshy tendons and harrowing ligaments displayed in their full glory.

Those who saw this ’flesh tree’ will undoubtedly feel sick, as there was just something innately wrong with how it looked.

Just the way that the limbs twitched along with the fleshy finger made the tree look worse, and the blood that leaked out from the tree’s orifices did not help either.

"..."

"..."

"..."

If it was only the appearance of this tree that he saw, then the Rainbow Dude would not actually feel anything from it. The tree just looked like an ugly object to him, something that he can still tolerate.

However, just like the Abyssal Pillar, the Abyssal Tree had a frightening effect on it, one which made the Rainbow Dude reach the limits of his sanity.

"Argh!!!!"

At the moment that the Abyssal Tree was a few meters away from him, all the cockroaches that comprised the Rainbow Dude’s body began to shake, as if something was happening to them.

This shaking persisted for some time, and before the Rainbow Dude could know it, he found his control over his body gone.

"Ah! What is happening? How could I-"

"Pisk pisk pisk!"

Large and fleshy abominations suddenly burst out of the roaches, creating holes in their bodies that quickly damaged the Rainbow Dude. These abominations also drank the Rainbow Dude’s blood and chaos power as they came out, which just weakened him more.

"Argh!"

These abominations, all which looked like they were created from rotting corpses, did not give the Rainbow Dude any sort respect as they began tearing the roaches apart.

They then consumed these shredded roaches, treating them as if they were food served in a buffet.

"Argh! Argh! Argh!"

At the sight of these ugly creatures, all that the Rainbow Dude could do was shout in fear, as he felt no control over them. In fact, even if he used what remained of his Chaos Power, it did not even budge these creatures, not even by a little.

"Ah please stop! It hurts!!!"

He could only watch as these creatures continued to tear his body apart like they were paper, with his aura and blood consumed like they were a sumptuous dinner.

This trend continued until almost none of the Rainbow Dude’s body remained.

Only a single cockroach remained at this point, and it was already doomed to die as all the abominations began rushing to it hungrily.

"Argh!!!"

The feeling of his body getting torn apart, combined with the torture that his mind was going through right now was enough to bring the Rainbow Dude to the brink of insanity.

In fact, one can say that the Rainbow Dude is already insane at this point, as he did not care about living anymore.

He already wanted to die, and he felt that dying is a much better end compared to all the suffering that he was experiencing now.

"Yes, please kill me! I don’t want to live anymore! Just kill me!" With his last body part now being ravaged by the abominations, the Rainbow Dude abandoned all rational thoughts already.

After all, he knew that he was going to die, so he should just as well accept it.

"Yes, kill me!"

By this point, only a single cockroach leg remained floating in space, which is the final body part of the Rainbow Dude that is not yet consumed.

If this leg was eaten by anything right now, it will instantly kill the Rainbow Dude.

Such fact was obvious to the Rainbow Dude, but his delirious mind and tortured body did not care about this fact anymore.

The pain that he suffered made him want to die already, and there is nothing that can change his mind.

"You damned Alex! I hope that the Abyss will corrupt you in the future! That’s the only end... that someone like you deserve!" With his body out of any hope to survive, the Rainbow Dude dedicated his last thoughts on cursing out the enemy who made him like this.

"Hehehe, I don’t need to even curse you out. With the way that you are using your power now, you’re already bound to be corrupted by the Abyss!

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Hahaha! You will be corrupted!"

These ’curses’ of his gave the Rainbow Dude some semblance of comfort, making him feel happy and contented for some reason.

But the sheer coldness of the outer space quickly wiped away the warmth, leaving the dying creature shivering for the last few seconds of his life.

"If there is hell in Abyss, then I will see you there, Alex! So don’t make me wait any longer! Just allow yourself to be corrupted by the Abyss already!"

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! H??????a?????h?????a???????h???a???h???????a????h???a?????h???a?????h????a?????h?????a?????a????h??????a?????h?????a?????h?????a????h??????a??????a??????h?????a??????h???????a?????h??????a?????h?????a??????h?????a???????a??????h??????a??????h????a???????h??????a????h????a???????h????a????!????"

************

"Chomp."

The biggest of the abominations did not let the Rainbow Dude continue cursing anymore, as it just swallowed the final cockroach leg with a single gulp.

"Gulp."

Once swallowed, the abomination chewed the leg using the teeth present inside its neck.

"Nom nom nom."

Its teeth grinded the leg into thousands of tiny pieces, all which bloomed with the remaining aura of the Rainbow Dude.

"Shush shush shush."

After getting shredded into small pieces, the leg was then brought to the stomach. Here, the leg was converted from an organic material into a highly-nutritious stream of energy, which was quickly circulated on the abomination’s body.

"Rawr!" This stream of energy was then absorbed by the abomination, who roared out in happiness as it felt itself getting full.

"Rawr!"

Although the abomination was already full, it had the realization that it wanted to eat more of the Rainbow Dude.

But to its disappointment, it did not find any other parts of the Rainbow Dude left.

There was just nothing of him that remained, as it was all eaten by everyone already.

"...."

************

And that’s the end of the Rainbow Dude.

From a mighty being whose power was to unleash chaos everywhere, the Rainbow Dude’s final fate was to become fertilizer to some lowly beings.

In other words, the Rainbow Dude was dead.

Thoroughly dead.

And there is no chance of him coming back anymore...
