In the boundless dark chaos, there were indescribably huge shadows that gathered together.

They didn’t intend to pull back their imposing manner and their terrifying power was overflowing. These energies were agitating and clashing against each other. They set off sweeping and surging tides. In the tides, forget about the usual devils; even a world that wasn’t as tough as this would crack and shatter into countless microscopic pieces.

In the middle of the surging tide, there was a region that was unusually calm. A huge earthworm was lying there quietly without moving an inch.

That was the stumbling block that was fighting against Sui Xiong a while back. The Abyss King, referred as “Earthly Mad Dragon.” But it had completely lost its flame that looked honest but violent. It was lying down sickly, as though it were dying and could pass away at any time.

“That’s strange!”

“Yeah, the thing would become like that.”

“…I meant that you could damage it to this stage. It is simply unbelievable!”

“In our Abyss, does such a thing as ‘unbelievable’ truly exist?”

“No.”

“Look, no.”

A ferocious roar along with agitated raging tides rang out. It shook the few nearby worlds like boats in the billows, tumbling up and down.

“Don’t waste your energy on reasoning with this thing. Are you silly?”

“Let’s talk business! I chased after it earlier and realized that its situation had worsened, and it became like this in the end. All of you know that I am not good at examining and analyzing, so I brought it here for all of you to see what is going on.”

“Almost dead, I am sure!”

“Why not eat it when it is still breathing? It woun’t be nice to eat when it’s dead.”

“I agree with the idea! I rushed over from afar, I am hungry!”

“Yeah, might as well eat it.”

“I want to eat its head, I like head the most!”

“…Shut! Up!”

Another ferocious roar. The nearest world finally couldn’t withstand the aftermath and collapsed.

The roar went on for a very long time, the few huge shadows temporarily stopping in the end.

“Just you wait! I will destroy your shrubbery!”

“I support bro cannibal plant! If you dare to come over, we will bite you all together!”

“As though the two of you never take action together… Didn’t the two of you bite together just now? And I was the one who was bitten!”

“Huh? Bitten wrongly?”

“Yeah! Look at my arm!”

“Yo, it’s injured… Hoo hoo…”

“What are you doing!”

“We can’t waste it…”

“F*ck off!”

“…I suddenly feel that wasting all our effort to gather all of us seems to be a huge mistake.”

“You just realized?”

“Forget it. Even if there are only few of us that are reliable, it’s good enough. Let’s get to business. Regarding the huge earthworm’s injury, everyone look… Huh? The huge earthworm?”

“Was eaten by Sticky just now.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Weren’t you busy fighting with those guys earlier?”

“Sticky, spit the huge earthworm out! There will be trouble!”

“Gru gru, gru gru.”

“Spit it out!”

“Gru gru.”

“It says, ‘Anything I eaten, I never spitted out before.’”

“This is poisonous!”

“Don’t be funny. Since when was Sticky afraid of being poisoned?”

“Even the huge earthworm was poisoned to death and you are saying you are not afraid?!”

There was a tragic groan, and a brawny shadow suddenly wriggled ferociously, constantly changing its shape while letting out tragic roar.

“Wow! That’s effective!”

“Stop sighing! Help me cut open Sticky’s stomach and drag the huge earthworm out!”

“Don’t waste your effort; Sticky is poisoned. The huge earthworm must have been digested long ago.”

“…What is all this in Sticky’s stomach! It’s disgusting!”

“Huh? You cut it open so quickly? Let me look at it…”

“Cannibal plant, come and see. Isn’t this your brother tree? Why is it in Sticky’s stomach?”

Rumbling noises were heard continuously.

“Stop fighting! I am busy here! Wait till I find the huge earthworm, then you can do whatever you want with it!”

“Are you sure you can find the huge earthworm? I don’t quite think so.”

“If you have to time to give sarcastic remarks, why not help me to look for it! I’m telling you, the huge earthworm is in a very special situation! It is worth our attention!”

“…Can I try two mouthfuls? There is so much of it. Eating a little doesn’t matter much, right?”

“You could still eat this?! Alright, forget what I just said…”

Gulp gulp, gulp gulp… The sucking and chewing noises didn’t stop.

With the flash of blade’s reflection, a brawny shadow flew out, making weird noises.

“Whoever that is fooling around, don’t blame me for being merciless with my blade! Now! Help me to find the huge earthworm from Sticky’s stomach! Immediately!”

“Can’t find it. What should we do?”

The flash of a blade’s reflection.

“Your blade is fast, so what!”

The flash of a blade’s reflection.

“Against violence!”

The flash of a blade’s reflection.

“I found it!”

The flash of a blade’s reflection.

“I found the huge earthworm, why did you cut me?!”

“…Got used to it.”

Ping ping pong pong. There were fighting noises, accompanied by the glinting and flashing of blade and sword; it was a mess.

“Bro cannibal plant, look: could brother tree be saved?”

“Wow! Why did you plant it on your head? Can you really save it like this?”

“You don’t say. It seems to be working… Brother tree’s leaves are expanding…”

“Huge earthworm! Huge earthworm, are you still alive? If you are alive, squeak.”

“It died long ago. Why not eat it while it’s hot…”

“I want to eat the head! I like eating head the most!”

Suddenly, there was a loud thud. A shadow was beaten and fell head over heels and flew off. Along with the loud thud and flowing of chaos, another huge shadow stood up slowly.

“Huh?! Huge earthworm, you are alive!”

“Ya! Why are you alive! Didn’t we agree that you are dead?”

“Hula hula! Hula hula!”

The loud thundering thuds rang out one after another, as the huge shadow slowly shrank.

“Stop fighting! Look, Sticky doesn’t look right!”

“Nonsense. There are three of you beating it; it would be strange if it looked alright!”

“What I meant was, it seems like it is not moving…”

“Huh? Yeah… Stop beating it! Sticky is not moving already!”

“Those… Not… Moving… Deserve… To… Be… Beaten… Even… More!”

Brother tree, hold on a second. There seems to be something a little different here…”

“This is the reason I came to look for all of you before! Do you remember? It was the huge earthworm that suddenly stopped moving. Now, it is Sticky’s turn…”

“Sticky ate the huge earthworm earlier. After digesting half of it, it happened to digest the part where it was poisoned.”

“That doesn’t make sense. Not moving after being poisoned? The poison should be spread all over the body, not concentrated at one spot.”

“All in all, it’s strange. Let’s dissect it.”

The huge shadows stopped the battle temporarily and surrounded the huge slime that was not moving an inch anymore. They were cutting and searching all over it using their own methods.

They looked for a long time but they didn’t find what they were looking for. On the contrary, the clump of slime was slowly moving, wriggling faintly, and gradually grew round and full, showing signs of vigor.

After a while, it was fully recovered, and it pushed away the guys that were still cutting and looking within its body. It let out an angry roar.

“What is going on? Is Sticky’s poison resistance ability that strong?”

“Impossible! It couldn’t move at all earlier!”

“Did we destroy the part where it was poisoned?”

“If we really did cut that part, it would be impossible that we couldn’t feel it, right?”

“Sticky, what is going on with you? Tell us.”

“Gru gru, gru gru.”

“It says that, the thing it ate earlier is very strange. It wants to eat again.”

“…Anything else?”

“Gru gru, gru gru.”

“It says that it still wants to eat that thing earlier.”

“Anything! Else!”

“Gru gru, gru gru.”

“It says…”

“Forget it! I understand! Beat him up! Until he is willing to tell us!”

Hence, there was another fight in the depth of the chaotic realm. God knows who started it first; it was a mess again.

Among the mess, unconsciously, there was a shadow that was comparably smaller than the huge ones left in silence. It was holding on to something that was heavily restrained by a ball of chaos.

It fixed its gaze at the ball of chaos and drowned in its thought.

“What is it exactly? Why would such a small piece make a King of the Abyss lose his vigor and drown in dispirit?”

It was fast. It got back to its world very quickly. It dragged a devil randomly and stuffed the thing into its mouth.

The devil first digested the chaos that was wrapping around the ball of possible poison. Its ability then rose suddenly, and the body filled with a powerful imposing manner, clamoring and sending out messages challenging the King of the World. Before it managed to put the conception to practice, its body stiffened and suddenly tumbled down. It lied down on the ground without moving an inch.

The Abyss King that had the similar body size to a human looked at it coldly, and waited for it to change patiently.

After a long while, the devil was still lying on the ground, not moving an inch, as though it had turned to rock.

“Could it be… The effect of the thing is to solidify the devil?”

It shook its head, and didn’t believe in such speculation.

After a long while, its eyes suddenly brightened and it fixed its gaze upon the devil.

There was a faint white light that shot out from the devil’s eyes. After a while, there were rays of white light flowing out from every pore of its body, and slowly gathering up.

The light was exactly the thing that every living creature in Abyss hated the most.

Order.

After a while, the devil’s body was fully engulfed by the light of order. The originally stiff body was wriggling faintly, and slowly resumed the ability to move.

Its eyes were still full of ferociousness and brutality, but it wasn’t violent anymore. There was a sense of calm.

It was looking at the King, something that devils should have inherently feared.

“How do you feel?” the King that didn’t look threatening at all asked.

The devil that was full of the light of order didn’t answer, but smiled.

Before the King took action, the devil’s body suddenly exploded into countless pieces.

The King scoffed, and raised his hand to grab the air. A shapeless energy wrapped up all the pieces along with the light of order and compressed them together again to become a ball of light. The outside of the ball of light was wrapped up with a thick layer of chaos again.

“What exactly is this thing?” He pondered and lifted his head to look up.

Somewhere far away, the huge jellyfish that created the thing couldn’t help but sneeze.

“…Who is bad mouthing me behind my back!”
