Monster Lord

Mason followed the ball of light out of the hall and walked through a long corridor. There were fewer and fewer people around him, and the corridor ahead seemed endless.

[Library] can autonomously control the transformation of the internal space, cleverly confusing human perception. After walking for an unknown period of time, two old men appeared in front of me.

They stood like flesh and blood sculptures in front of the black door, one blind and one deaf. Until Mason walked in front of them, the deaf old man said dryly: "Authorization."

The light ball replied crisply: "The authority of Holy Son Canaan has been confirmed. He can read the outer books."

The blind old man then took off a bunch of keys from his waist, took out a black key and handed it to Mason: "Come out within two hours."

The heavy feeling was neither gold nor iron. A hole suddenly appeared in the black door. Mason inserted the key smoothly and found a spiral staircase leading downwards.

The ball of light guided him to the bottom layer, where countless transparent bubbles floated in the air, each containing a. From a distance, they looked like a group of living creatures wandering in the air.

The books flew everywhere, and from time to time they made creepy sobbing sounds. The sound of the light ball seemed somewhat humane among these roars.

"The taboos are too terrible. Everything you say will be affected. Even leaving words will be affected, so you must use special things to record. Just say what you want to find out and you will get feedback. Readers will be contaminated when reading. If you can't bear it, please leave immediately."

The silver-haired young man looked up at the books and cautiously uttered a name: "Lord of Monsters."

The bubbles suddenly stopped in their tracks, looking at him like crazy eyes. Some of them slammed into the bubble wall like crazy, and were violently bounced back. The light ball turned blood red again at some point, and under the extremely weird lighting, Mason took those away without moving. The bubbles burst at the moment of contact, and the tattered books rushed straight towards him, wrapped and entangled by the energy extending from [Heaven].

The young man felt something was wrong because of his instinctive counterattack. He took the opportunity to read the books. The pollution that came over him permeated his mind, drawing a series of horrific scenes.

The wailing humans fell to their knees and turned into monsters in an instant; the survivors struggled in vain and were drowned by the swarm of monsters that rushed in; the huge jellyfish-like monster came with black mist, and its seemingly smooth and transparent body was covered with eye-like patterns upon careful observation, and even just staring at it would cause changes.

In addition, the enchantingly beautiful woman smiled softly, and her lower body was connected to a mysterious insect body. Countless insects followed her and brutally captured and devoured the enemy.

The powerful tainted beast, half skeleton and half horse, is like a ghost. Wherever it goes, whether it is human or monster, it will be turned into dust silently.

The lush greenery spread, followed closely by the mutated plants. The refreshing green turned into hell, and all the creatures swallowed by it turned into nutrients for nature.

Humanity has revealed all its trump cards. No matter whether they are nobles or wandering bloodline people, they have thrown themselves into this meat grinder without hesitation. A-level bloodline people can't make much splash, and bloodline people above S-level have to pay with their lives. The church even prayed to the Lord of All Things and Omnipotence for a miracle. The power of the gods is vast and boundless, but it is not directed at these monsters.

They were terrifying, but they pale in comparison to the being that sat atop the jellyfish.

The SSS-level Bloodline stood up panting, his heartbeat so fast that it was about to burst. He had just saved an army that was surrounded and killed, and his extremely tired body was shaking and about to fall. The power of the gods quickly healed his body, pouring out endless power, giving him hope in his heart again.

Just then, he heard a chuckle.

The laughter did not even contain any malice, but was merely a kind of condescending indifference and laxity. The SSS bloodline was horrified, and did not even realize what was happening.

It was an absolute crushing of will, and they were as humble as dust in front of the other party. When he came to his senses and looked around in confusion, there was nothing around him.

The Bloodline Army that had just been rescued, the fighting monsters, the plants, the corpses, everything disappeared in this laughter.

There was only an increasingly thick black mist lingering around. He swallowed his saliva, feeling his insides itching, and was completely attracted to the other person.

That is the king, that is the god, no, these are too insignificant. Dynasties can be multiplied, gods can be countless, but there is only one He. The bloodline man couldn't help but raise his head - he looked at the other person -

That is a person.

shape.

He is there, watching.

...I.

The blurred mind was shattered, and was completely occupied by the other party. The divine punishment of the Lord of All Things and All Powers came with thunder. He should not have noticed the sight of the insect on the ground, but for some reason he cast a faint glance at it.

When his eyes met his, the silver-haired young man suddenly woke up, and a chill surged in his heart. The tattered book in his hand made a sharp shriek, sucking away the last trace of pollution and turning into dust.

Although he couldn't even see the other person's face clearly, at that moment, he seemed to really look into the eyes of the Monster Lord.

He looked down upon the tiny human beings with a carefree elegance and calmness. Mason could even clearly sense the indifference. He did not come to conquer or warn, but to...

Take a look.

Yes, He did not come because the church’s artificial gods were about to succeed, but rather He came to see what was going on because He had discovered something interesting. Although this trip brought immense pain to mankind, for Him, it was really just a visit.

But when he saw him, the other person's eyes showed a hint of interest. Mason took a deep breath and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Everything around him seemed too quiet, as if he was still in the memories brought by the book.

This thought gave him goosebumps, and the young man realized that the books had become quiet at some point. Even the light ball had become silent, with only blood-red light shining around, like a layer of gauze falling.

After a moment, a light laugh suddenly filled the air.

The silver-haired young man's pupils shrank, and [Heaven] opened to the maximum. The extremely compressed energy almost condensed into a solid, and flower buds blossomed, and the sound of light and holy prayers could be heard faintly.

The books that were closer were directly purified and dried. But the sense of attention did not subside. Mason's scalp was tingling. He had no idea how the other party avoided the church and found him.

Didn't the Holy City raise any alarm?! Are the Pope and the Lord of All Power blind?! Let the taboos come and go freely here!?

The silver-haired young man's mouth was tightly clenched, and his sharp eyes pierced into the void. Seeing his vigilance, the other party chuckled again. This time, ripples appeared in the space, and something fell from it and hit the ground. Mason finally heard the other party's voice clearly.

"I look forward to the day when you come to me in person."

The bone-chilling coldness surged up at him, causing him to freeze in place. The Monster Lord left calmly after saying this, leaving him alone with a turbulent heart.

The books that had regained their mobility flew everywhere, screaming in shock. The light ball warned: "Please do not damage the books. These are the precious collections in the [Library]. Please do not damage the books, otherwise you will be blacklisted by the [Library]. Please do not damage the books..."

The silver-haired young man didn't care at all about what it was saying, and his silent eyes fell on the thing sent by the Monster Lord.

A pile of green leaves scattered on the ground, exuding a vitality that is incompatible with the outside world.

The traces of fate flow through the leaf veins, and all creatures regard them as treasures. Even the gods are not immune and try their best to collect more.

Possessing it means embarking on the path to godhood.

The young man bent down, picked up the leaves of the World Tree and put them away. For the first time, he did not feel any joy in his heart.

He walked out with a heavy heart, and two old men were waiting for him at the door. They did not enter the room, but seemed to know what was going on inside.

The blind old man said, "You destroyed a lot of books in there. They are at least made of the skin of A-level bloodline or tainted beasts. They are irreplaceable treasures for the [Library]."

The deaf old man said, "You need to compensate the [library]."

“It doesn’t cost money. If you damage these books, you have to make books of equal value.”

"If you fail to complete this, your soul will become the property of the Library."

This huge structure is considered safe by the church, but that does not mean it is harmless. It is safe only for those who follow the rules. Once the rules are violated, even the church cannot change the outcome.

Regardless of strength or status, reading the books in the Library means using them, and therefore one must pay the price for violating the rules.

The young man nodded expressionlessly, his mind no longer on this. He followed the guidance of the light ball and walked out. The long corridor he came from turned into a blood-stained road. The floor was permeated with a deep red color, and human faces flashed on the walls from time to time, with greed and covetousness undisguised.

Those are people who violated the library's rules, and their souls are imprisoned in the library. They are full of malice towards the living, waiting for the day when they will suffer the same fate.

The silver-haired young man ignored this. The light ball brought him to the lobby, and he said goodbye in a childish and cute voice: "Welcome to come again next time. The [Library] is always at your service."

Although the meaning behind this sentence is more like [I look forward to taking your soul next time you come]. Mason left here without looking back, his heart full of solemnity.

What exactly did the Monster Lord mean by that sentence?

Why did He give himself the leaves of the World Tree?

What does He know?

All kinds of doubts lingered in his heart, like a fog that would never dissipate, shrouding his path forward. Mason thought he had only to face how to change the world, but he didn't expect there were so many secrets hidden behind it.

The clergymen who passed by nodded and saluted him. The golden threads wrapped around his body gave Mason a rare sense of security. At least here, the monster lord should not be crazy enough to chase him. He randomly found an empty prayer room. The stone faceless statue bowed its head slightly, tolerantly accepting the joy and sorrow of the prayers. The silver-haired young man closed his eyes and finally felt calm.

Mason does not believe in God, but he feels reassured that the Lord of All Things is powerful enough to fight against taboos.

Yes, in this crazy world, the only thing you can rely on is strength.

Is he going to stand still because of fear because the monster lord expects him to grow? That won't solve anything.

He has the World Tree, many powerful vests, and the support of the church and the Noble Association. There are endless possibilities in the future. Mason listed his trump cards, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He thought that there was nothing wrong with developing slowly, and he couldn't rush to fulfill his promise with Amira. Now it seemed that he had to speed up his pace of becoming stronger.

Since the Lord of Monsters wants him to stand in front of him, one day, he will replace the other and become the real dominant one between the two!
