Chapter 232 - Boss
-----
This entity never knew what happened to it.
It only knew that it survived, devoured, and evolved, until one day it became unbeatable.
Yet… somehow, even though it had worked so hard to thrive, survive, reproduce, and become the strongest, it was one day trapped into a strange space.
Forced against its own will to remain in a single place, as if time has stopped, it could only grow in anger as all the efforts it had exerted through its long life were gone, no matter how hard it tried, no matter how much work it put… it was possible, it was locked in a single place.
I hatched from an egg hundreds of years in the past, within the depths of the lake of poison.
As it was small, it could barely do much other than hiding from the immense predators roaming at every corner.
It was a tough life.
However, it continued to slowly rise through the hierarchy and food chain.
At first, it hid from the big and ate the tiny bugs it found.
Slowly but steadily, strange energy, an essence it acquired by devouring tiny insects flowed into it, and like many other beings it had seen before, it slowly started to get bigger and evolved.
It kept devouring whatever was weaker than itself, hiding and hiding, while slowly evolving.
Many times, even with its cautious personality, it was about to die to the unpredictability of life.
However, each time it came on top through a combination of immense survival instincts, resolve, and cautiousness, with a sparkle of sheer luck.
It fought against greater beasts and became a gigantic beast after dozens of years, if not hundreds…
It fought against the biggest of monsters, and devoured everything in its path…
It evolved again, and again, and again.
One day, it found itself at the pinnacle of the lake, at the pinnacle of the entire jungle, even.
It had once decided to travel outside the lake, anything it found was defeated with its might, it was unparalleled.
It came back to the lake again, and one day found a mate, it mated, and had hundreds of children, through tiny eggs, he saw them go…
He feels fulfilled, and decided to rest inside his lake, ruling everything and governing with his hard-earned might.
It was the life of the King.
But everything changed after that… the space-time distortions trapped him within a dungeon, and he was concealed within the depths of this lake for years until it finally opened, a gate to another world… where strange aliens emerged, with enormously powerful pressures and auras, they slowly slaughtered everything within the lake, and even its powerful children, the ones that were only second to him.
It felt complete fury, these invaders had come here, destroyed everything, and had made of his home their playground… and to boot, they killed his powerful children like nothing!
It was uncalled for… this entity, even within its primitive mind, desired vengeance!
It wanted to get out of this place so badly, to tear apart these invaders and show them what truth might be all about!
It constantly tried to unleash its powers, to destroy everything around it, and to end this nightmarish cage… but nothing worked, it was sealed, trapped in this space.
It could only rage and wait… its fury only increased.
It desired to destroy everything, to decimate anything!
It wanted to… annihilate these intruders, these invaders!
These beings that brought so much chaos to its lake!
And as it desired to do this over anything else, the invisible shackles that maintained it sealed suddenly dissipated…
It was freed!
It freely extended its gigantic limbs, tentacles, body, claws, and heads!
Its eyes opened, as its jaws roared, its razor-sharp teeth showing off monstrously!
Finally, it was going to fight! It was going to destroy everything! It was going to avenge its children!
It was all over for the invaders, as the King has come.
Noah glanced at the beast appearing in front of him his flashing crimson-red eyes, his entire body exuding an aura of red colors and an immense pressure, his entire being was exuding the aura of dread.
Noah's soul was expanding wildly, enormous, and bloody tentacles, alongside black and oozy tentacles extended outside of its body, his soul was incredibly vast compared to the size of his body! A gigantic crimson-red eye emerged in the middle of his soul as well, shining brightly and eerily.
Everyone around him began to exude the aura of their souls as well, which shapeshifted as gigantic beasts, their Soul Beasts, and materialized over their bodies, changing their appearances into enormous monsters made of elements!
Noah also did the same, as he became an enormous single-eyed and formless mass of ethereal flesh with many tentacles, he was nothing else than an abyssal existence, something way beyond human understanding.
And the worst part was that the actual abyssal beign within his soul wasn't even helping him achieve this, he simply became this through sheer effort and by constantly corrupting his soul with the power of his Vampiric traits… alongside having it fragmented into pieces multiple times, only to rearrange them again, each time he did, his soul grew more and more stranger.
Sakura, Sugar, and Noire were still the ones with the smallest souls as they were still developing, but by combining their physical bodies through their newly acquired ability, Mechanical Fusion, they were able to become an enormous mech with large cannons, shotguns, and an immense blade, resembling a Gundam from Earth's anime before the Apocalypse…
The three souls fused together too, and coated the Gundam-like transformation, making it just as powerful as the other members of Noah's army… the trio of robot girls had already earned their spot in the main party.
Noah glanced at the beast in front of him, as it began to surge from the lake.
He called to his army of Blood Servants, of course.
"Of course, before doing anything, let's be a bit cautious… Blood Servants, march!" roared Noah while pointing his gigantic soul tentacles to the beast in front of them, as the army of Blood Servants of all shapes and sizes rushed towards it.
