Death... and me

Chapter 2791: Taking the Chance

As soon as that being appeared, the souls of all living beings below the Space-Time Realm on the surroundings were dragged straight out of their bodies. They all entered the creature, causing it to grow even more. Even those in the Space-Time Realm and above felt the pull, although they could counter it with their cultivation.

"What the hell is this thing?!" The Peak Divinity Realm expert saw how everyone with lower cultivation had their souls eaten by the being. He didn't hold back and immediately used his power to attack. His Soul Power and Divine Origin Energy merged together as his Laws gathered. Soon, a gigantic Green Half Moon blade was created and descended on the monster. *Boom!*

An enormous explosion of laws and elements spread in the surroundings, forcing everyone away. Cracks in space appeared, and Spatial Rift sucked everything they touched. Yet, the creature remained unharmed. At the moment of the impact, much of the soul energy from the souls it had taken was gathered in front of it, blocking the attack of the Peak Divinity Realm expert from Garisan.

It didn't stop there, though. The Soul Pull's power increased several times in that moment of doubt about the outcome of the attack. More and more souls were dragged into that creature. Following that, the creature shot in the direction of the Peak Stage Divinity Realm expert. "Your soul seems even more delicious."

"Hmph!" The guy quickly gathered his laws, elements, and energy and counter-attacked. This time, he went all out, and the same half-moon blade caused their space to collapse completely. "Overestimating yourself!"

Yet, before the attack could hit the creature, his world turned dark. He was enveloped inside a Domain. All the energy from his attack seemed to disappear in an instant, and the laws dissipated as a result. "What?!"

'Growing Storm Domain!'

Noticing that it was the result of a Domain, he quickly activated his own to push the enemy's Domain back. And yet, it was useless. All the energy from the domain he had just used disappeared as well. 'No, it is not that it disappeared. It's just that I lost control over everything as soon as it left my body,' he thought as fear grew in his mind.

As soon as the garisan expert understood that, he used his Time and Spatial Powers to charge away from the creature's Domain. It was obvious he wouldn't be able to deal with that creature.

*Zush!*

However, little did the guy notice that he had entered the belly of the monster instead! His soul, which he was using his Divine Energy to not be affected by the creature, couldn't resist anymore. Against his will, his soul exited his body and was transformed into Soul Energy instantly. Just like that, a Peak Stage Divinity Realm expert died without being able to say a single word.

"What is that?!" The other experts not too far noticed the phenomenon and also noticed the change in the middle of their armies. Depending on the distance from the monster,

the cultivation necessary to fight against the Soul Pulling power decreased. Nonetheless, the creature's Domain spread far and wide, and in seconds, over a million souls were extracted. The stronger experts quickly charged over and released their domains one after another. Three Divinity Realm experts, who had been kept in reserve in the nearby area, also joined the fray. Unfortunately, they couldn't even see or feel the creature at all. It didn't have cultivation, so the Natural Spatial Perception was useless. It hid inside its own Domain as it moved around, increasing its own strength with each soul absorbed.

Attacks rained down on the Domain while the Divinity Realm experts entered it to find the creature. However, not long after that, the Divinity Realm experts disappeared from everyone's senses as well.

Little did anyone notice, but a black shadow was now making its way back to the Lisan Universe's side. In a few minutes, it got far enough to not need to hide anymore. It immediately charged out, speeding all the way back to where Soul Gem was waiting. It was Rugo who had just released the creature.

Soul Gem bitterly smiled and looked in the direction of the Garisan forces. "Seems like you managed to release that thing right in the heart of their army."

Rugo nodded. "I don't feel very happy regarding it, though. The Living Soul Devil... I truly hoped we would never have to release it again."

Soul Gem agreed with him.

Yes, that was the Living Soul Devil that had escaped the Realm of Gods in the past. No one knew what had happened to it. Just that someone had helped it escape. It was a completely different Soul Devil from the ones born in the Underworld. It didn't grow with dead souls but living ones instead.

That's why Rugo was selected to bring the Living Soul Devil into the Garisan armies. Rugo was a Death Spirit, a being made of Soul Energy but full of Death Energy as well, just like Kafan. In the Living Soul Devil's eyes, Rugo didn't even exist. The Garisan Armies, however...

The Domain of the Living Soul Devil quickly expanded, and more and more Garisan Experts died. It had only been a few minutes, but the losses on their side had easily surpassed tens of millions, all having their souls eaten by the creature. When it escaped the Realm of Gods, it was already a creature that Divinity Realm experts couldn't deal with anymore. The Semi- Celestials had to intervene instead, even with the agreement in place. So, unless the Semi- Celestials intervened again, nothing in Garisan would be able to stop that thing.

Its own existence defied all logic, so normal attacks of laws, divine energy, and elements didn't mean much.

Of course, it wasn't that the Semi-Celesitals of Garisan didn't notice the Living Soul Devil. However, Lisan Universe couldn't possibly let that chance to turn the tables escape. The moment the Soul Devil appeared, all the Semi-Celestials in the area attacked together, not bothering about losing their comprehension of the laws.

The Garisan Universe Semi-Celestials had no other choice but to do the same. As good as the armors were, when a Semi-Celestial started to change the laws in their favor, only the same method could stop them. Simply put, Garisan, which already had a slightly lower number of Semi-Celestials, was forced to stay and fight back. Otherwise, ignoring Lisan Semi-Celestials would bring even more casualties than the Living Soul Devil was causing.

The the following moments, the entire Garisan side of the battlefield fell into chaos. Their advantage disappeared like smoke.
