Volume 1 Chapter 479 System - Devouring King

"Boom——"

The booming continued.

Lynch flew all the way, heading towards the place where the evil aura was the strongest.

The closer he got, the more he felt that the aura was similar to the aura in his own body, as if they had the same origin.

Then, he saw a huge space rift at the edge of the world—that was the world seal that had been reopened.

He also saw the true face of the Devouring Legion——

Devourer.

They have many horns on their heads, sharp mouths and fangs, ferocious wings on their backs, and hunched bodies. Each devourer exudes an evil and terrifying aura, and the air is filled with black air, as if there are vengeful spirits howling.

The Devourer, whose status is determined by the sharp horns on its head.

Shuangjiao is a primary devourer with ordinary high-level strength.

The four corners are intermediate devourers, possessing extraordinary high-level strength.

Hexagon is a high-level Devourer, with super-high-level strength.

Bagua is a super-special devourer, and has the power of a super god!

As for the Ten Horns, it is a super devourer and is taboo!

The strongest one is the Devouring King, the god of the entire Devouring Legion, the Twelve Horned One!

When Lynch arrived, the Devourers did not stop him wherever he passed, and some even knelt down before him, as if they had regarded Lynch as the Devourer King.

Lin Qi didn't care. He walked by, looking at the pairs of scarlet eyes. He felt curious and murmured with interest, "At the beginning, I was imprisoned by such an ugly thing? It's really shameful..."

Soon, under the gaze of the Devourers, he reached the end of the Devouring Legion.

Lynch saw a dark palace.

Walking into the palace, he saw a figure sitting on a black iron throne.

This figure seemed infinitely large, but when you looked closer, it was only about two meters tall.

The twelve horns on his head were bent to the sides, looking like a helmet. The man's face was pale, and he held his head with one hand, stroking his white hair. He looked at Lin Qi who was walking under the throne with a playful look, and said with a smile: "Host, congratulations, you have passed the game. I specially reward you with unlimited expectation coins and despair coins, and by the way, I reward you for your journey to death."

The sound seemed to rise from within my mind and echo in the hall.

Lin Qi put his hands behind his back, listening to the familiar uncle's voice, and grinned, "You really have the leisure time, my system, oh no, the Devouring King. What? Don't you want to pretend anymore?"

"Yeah, I won't pretend anymore."

The Devouring King slowly stood up, stretched his waist, and looked at Lin Qi jokingly, "You are still so confident now, which really surprises me."

His eyes suddenly turned cold. "What surprised me even more is that I still can't see through you. From the beginning, I put my power in your body, and my consciousness was also guiding you to do everything. But I didn't know when you doubted me."

"It makes me feel like I'm using you and you're using me."

Lin Qi held out his hand, and a chair appeared beside him. He sat down leisurely, "Let's talk?"

"Let's talk."

The Devouring King stared at Lynch but did not sit down.

Lin Qi's calmness made him feel a little uneasy.

"Emm..." Lynch tapped his head with his hand, as if thinking about something, "When should I start? Perhaps, from the beginning, I began to doubt your existence."

"What do you mean?" The Devouring King frowned.

Lin Qi said: "Do you know that the memory you instilled in me is very strange. I was born on a planet called Earth. I am an ordinary person. There is no so-called magic in that world. They all use a kind of power called technology. Then, I fell to my death."

"Then, I came to this world. I was still very ignorant, and then I met you. I was a child, mentally immature, and even more so, I could only trust you. After all, as a human being who came to a strange world, I could only trust you, and only you could bring me strength, don't you think?"

"Yes, that's right." The Devouring King said neatly: "At that time, you could only rely on me."

"But me!" Lin Qi suddenly laughed, "Maybe it's innate, I never believe in the so-called unearned gains! I keep asking myself, why did they choose me when there are so many people in the world in my memory? What's so special about me? Why did they choose me when there are so many other people? Why do I think I am the only real person among so many independent individuals? Are all people NPCs?"

“So I doubt it.”

The Devouring King was stunned. "Is that why you doubt it?"

Lin Qi smiled and said, "It was just doubt. That's where everything started. I doubted, but I also understood that my power came from you and I needed your guidance, so I never asked because I was afraid that you would suddenly take back my power."

"You're right. If you had shown any doubts at the beginning, I would have taken back your power without hesitation." Swallow nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Qi suddenly asked: "But I am also confused. Why did you not let me leave Osdena Forest until a hundred years later when you and I came to this world?"

The Devouring King said: "Because I need to integrate my power into your body. The seal you set comes from yourself, and it will not refuse you from entering the world. But integrating the power into your body requires a gradual process. A hundred years is just enough for you to possess my power. Moreover, it can prevent your power from leaking out, so that the gods of your world will not notice it."

Lynch took over the conversation, "So, after a hundred years when I merged with the power, you tried to get me out! Even the Paul, Penny, Borg, and Morton that I met were all deliberately made by you to appear under the abyss of Osdena Forest?"

The Devouring King nodded.

Lynch continued, "So, these extremely weak guys were able to enter the depths of the dangerous Osdena Forest. And it just so happened that their mercenary group was chased by the ninth-level monsters, and it just so happened that they fell into the abyss. And it just so happened that they were so weak, and they fell from such a high place, but they were able to survive! And it just so happened that the four of them all had different ambitions and would lead me to conquer the world."

"Yes. The entire Osdena Forest is under my surveillance. I will read the memories of everyone in Osdena Forest. These four candidates can just serve as an excuse for you to leave the forest."

Lin Qi frowned, "You are really good at pretending."

"What are you pretending for?" The Devouring King smiled.

"You pretended to be afraid of being exposed and cried for mercy. It was really funny." Lin Qi sneered, "You even pretended so well that I once believed that you were like this because you traveled to the wrong world."

"This makes it even more realistic, doesn't it?" The Devouring King laughed. "Didn't you believe it then? You already believed that I lied. Can you still doubt that the lie I told was just the beginning of a lie?"

"On the contrary, I will let you know clearly that I have been lying all along and that those lies were not meant to harm you at all. This will make you believe even more that I cannot harm you."

Lin Qi let out a long breath, "So, this is what you have been thinking all along."

The Devouring King sneered: "Your thoughts are not simple either!"
