The World Serpent

Chapter 111 - 111-The World Serpent

Deep below the Continent of Debilis, The Earth shook as a Gigantic Tunnel formed within the Deep.

A Gargantuan Serpentine Creature slithered within the Earth as its Silver White Scales shone in brilliance. Its Golden Amber Eyes released the pressure of Tyranny and Dominion. The Serpent peacefully stayed within the Deep as if waiting for something. A Signal for its attack to start. 

'It has been a while since I took control of my Original Body.' Persia thought to herself while waiting within the Deep Earth. Her Gargantuan Serpent Form was 2 km in length and 60 meters in diameter. She was a Long and Big Serpent. As Persia waited within the Deep Earth Tunnel she created, She began to wonder about her System. She never heard any of the System since she entered the Soul Core, which was something Persia didn't notice as nothing within her had changed. 

'System?' Persia started thinking onto herself as she didn't hear any response. She hadn't grown that much even though numerous accidents and events had passed ever since the Duel. While thinking about her growth, Persia had a dangerous thought within her mind. It was a thought that signified that Persia was a Serpent. 

'What if I eat everyone in the City? Now that I think about it, how much do they have as Biomass?' A Dangerous Thought and Question kept echoing within Persia's mind. She shook her head as she was there to kill them, but why should she waste perfect Biomass? Another question sprung up, which made Persia shake her head once again. 'I'm hungry, aren't I?' 

[Initiliazing...] 

A Notification Window appeared in front of Persia as she immediately noticed the System Notification. The Notification made her happy as it gave Persia a realization that the System wasn't out of commission. She had a Serpent Smile plastered on her face as she waited for the Initializing to complete. 

[Initilization complete.]

[Soul Core has accepted System Interference.]

[Strange Ownership of the Soul Core is under to certain Individual B******.]

[Ownership will get absolved but does the System need to terminate Individual B******?]

'Eh?' Persia found herself confused after being bombarded by Numerous Notifications within her mind. She didn't know what was happening but from the Notifications. She could guess that the Individual was the Old Man she met. It seemed that the System could terminate the Individual, which made Persia smile, but she couldn't terminate the Old Man as he was a Treasure Box for Information that she needed. At least the Soul Core was finally under her complete control. 

'Stop the Termination and give me full control of my Soul Core.' Persia ordered as a new notification appeared in front of her sight.

[Understood.]

Persia sighed as she finally wouldn't follow anyone's words. She didn't know that it would be simple, but it was understandable as the System itself came from the World Serpent. While thinking about the System, Persia wondered about her Current Status. It has been a while, so she wanted to see her current strength. 'Open Status.' Persia thought to herself as a Notification answered. 

[Status is currently under maintenance.]

'Hmm...' The Answer gave Persia a confused expression, though there was nothing she could do about it. It seemed that Persia's Status was changing as she might have been powerful enough that the Current Status System wasn't enough to handle her. She shook her head as she had another Wonderful idea within her mind. 

'Can I free myself from the current lock within my body?' Persia knew that most of her power got locked when she entered the Continent of Debilis. It meant that she was weaker than before, which was a problem she never wanted to face. A Notification then answered her question. 

[Unlocking of complete Power is possible, but after Five Seconds, the User would get forced out of Debilis.]

'I see... Well, then. It should be a good trump card.' Persia smirked onto herself. She couldn't finally sleep well without any problems though she knew that she had to complete her part within the Current Operation. The Group above handled the information gathering, which was why Persia waited for Deep Below the Ground. She was actually below the City of Bez Erk. 

While waiting for the signal, Persia laid her Gigantic Serpent Head on the Ground. A while later, a noise kept echoing within her head. It was the signal of Statera which made Persia growl in satisfaction. It was finally time for the whole operation to start. Persia released a serpentine smirked. The Demon Serpent Persona within her slowly rose from its shackles as it was time for its reveal to start. 

Meanwhile, within the City of Bez Erk. The Earth shook as Heaven roared. Its inhabitants started panicking as they could see cracks forming on the Ground. They started running as Panic began to spread. The cracks emerge on the Southwestern Side of the City. It slowly spread all over the City. The Ground the City stood on started to bloat as a Monster revealed itself. 

It was a Serpentine Monster with Silver White Scales and Golden Amber Eyes. It distorted the air around it as the dust started escaping from its body. Rubbles, Rocks, and Boulders began falling from the skies as they fell back to the City. Explosions echoed as Buildings started collapsing on their own. 

The Screams echoed as the Criminal's Cries echoed within the Roads of the City. The Serpentine Monster had a single dark horn on its forehead as it revealed wings behind its back. The Criminals couldn't help but find themselves shaking in fear as the Serpentine Monster unveiled its True Form. They could only continue running away from the Serpentine Monster as a way of survival. 

The Demon Serpent started looking around the City as it started moving. Each of the Serpent's movements made the buildings collapse. As it slithered towards the Center of the City, The Demon Serpent controlled the Rubbles and made the Buildings rise to the Heavens. Every Building it passed started floating onto the skies. 

As the Demon Serpent arrived at the Center of the City, Bez Erk. The Demon Serpent idly stood as if waiting for something to come out. Thousands of rubbles orbited its body as they came from a Small Pebble to a Tall Building. As the rubbles gathered around the Demon Serpent, The Golden Amber Serpent Eyes shone. A simple signal made Thousands of rocks fall from the skies as if Heaven fell. 

*BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!* *BOOM!!!*

The rubbles fell as explosions kept echoing upon their impact. Dust slowly covered the streets as the people trapped within the City kept screaming for help. The City Guards started gathering together as they started looking for their leaders. The Command Structure got broken after the attack as the grunts of the City couldn't do anything other than run aimlessly. 

'Disappointing...' The Demon Serpent thought to itself as it looked upon the City currently in flames. It expected good defenses against invaders, but the current situation made the Serpent Think otherwise. The Demon Serpent started to use its abilities as it formed Boulders within the Heavens. Thousands of Boulders began to form within the Dark Skies. 

The People within the City looked up with horrified expressions as they lost hope. They started kneeling and praying for the Demon Serpent to stop. They begged for mercy and spoke about how they would change. The Demon Serpent, seeing the People begging mercy to it, didn't feel anything. It was disappointing that they were so easy to break. After all, heavy criminals tend to stay within the City of Bez Erk. 

'Hmm... Quite disappointing to kill all possible Biomass. But it is Extremely Hard to eat such small creatures.' The Demon Serpent thought to itself as Notification appeared in front of its sight. It looked upon the Notification Window as it may have a good solution for the problem. 

[Solution Found.]

[Activation of Origin Skill, Dominion Authority, could give the User an option of effectively collecting Biomass.] 

'I see... Though, it might be horrifying for those who watched it.' The Demon Serpent thought to itself. Despite being a human, which the Demon Serpent clearly didn't remember. The Demon Serpent never thought of those Humanoid Creatures as anything other than Food. Only those who were stronger could elevate themselves from getting considered as Food but even then. It would still be hard to have a position known as Friend within the Demon Serpent's heart. 

'Should I eat them?' The Demon Serpent wondered to itself as it looked upon the People below it. Their Biomass worth might be smaller, but their numbers can topple quality. The Demon Serpent shook its head and thought. 'Well, I guess I can use them as Biomass Candy for Future Purposes.'

With that simple thought, The Demon Serpent activated the Dominion Authority. The Passive Dominion Authority was a simple control of the surrounding area temporarily. The passive authority was also not that deep, which meant that anything could escape with enough effort. But the Active Dominion Authority was different. It gives the User Absolute Control of a Certain Area. 

The Dominion Authority only got fully activated during the Duel. It was the moment when the Demon Serpent flicked its fingers to instantly destroy the Destroyer of Reality, also known as Black Hole. It was a moment of activation, and its power was enough to topple a Black Hole, but it also had another problem. 

[Activation of the Active Dominion Authority is only Five Times, After the Fifth Activation, The Next Activation would be permanent, and deactivation is no more. The User will receive a Permanent Territory fully controlled by the User's will.] 

A Notification Window appeared in front of the Demon Serpent. It nodded in understanding as it knew that the moment it created a Permanent Territory. The Permanent Territory will be the place where it could get considered as an omnipotent and omniscient being. 

The City of Bez Erk found itself in a distorted state. The Biomass within the Center of the City hovered over the Devastated Ground and flew towards the Heavens. Thousands of bodies gathered above the heavens. The bodies then started to fuse onto one ball of bodies. A Giant Ball of bodies got created as they began pressing. The Demon Serpent patiently watched and waited for the compression to get completed. 

Seconds later, The People within the City found themselves staring at the Dead Bodies getting compressed into damnation. The compression finally got completed after Ten Seconds of compress state. A Small Biomass Candy formed itself and hovered in front of the Demon Serpent. 

The people below started crying or puking after seeing such a scene. They knew that they couldn't beg for mercy towards a Monster. They started running once again, though unfortunately, they couldn't escape through the gates of the City. A Barrier surrounded the City of Bez Erk, which meant that the People of the City got trapped. 

[Warning... Controlling too much might make the User eject out of Debilis.]

A Notification echoed within its mind as the Demon Serpent nodded in understanding. Controlling too much might give it problems, but with weak creatures. It knew that it didn't need control that much. The Biomass Candy disappeared in front of the Demon Serpent as it started looking around the City. It could feel hostility getting directed to it. It came from everywhere, but there was a dense hostility that made it curious. 

"Prepare the cannons, Prepare your weapons, and Prepare yourselves!!!" A Senile Voice echoed as an Old Man shouted towards the Bez Erk Soldiers. The Bez Erk Soldiers started preparing the cannons plastered on the City Walls and pointed them towards the Serpent. 

"Leader, the Monster destroyed most of our Command Strucutre. It might take time to gather and have effective attacks against the Monster." A Bez Erk Soldier spoke with a calm voice as the Leader shook his head and replied. "I already know that, but unfortunately, we don't have the time we need." 

The Leader turned his gaze towards the Monster as the Bez Erk Soldier did the same.. He could then see the Golden Amber Eyes of the Serpentine Monster staring at them.
