"monster!"
"The vice-commander is a monster!"
"No……"
puff!
In the eyes of the adventurers, Lu Cang was no longer the human he once was.
Rather, it is the deep, distorted darkness that makes it impossible to look directly at its form.
Countless shadowy tentacles extended from that darkness.
Are those tentacles?
I don't know, I only know that just seeing those tentacles once made my mind feel like it was being desecrated, my mind polluted by dark knowledge, my brain was trembling, I felt my brain fluids shaking, my brain flowers trembling, and every cell in my limbs was being activated and in pleasure, undergoing an unknown chaotic transformation!
Whoosh!
puff!
Bang bang bang!
More than a dozen members of the adventure teams were blown apart in the middle when they were touched by the tentacles!
But Lu Cang quickly realized that something was wrong.
"wrong."
"Did I use too much force?"
"I should have been a little gentler."
Thinking this, Lu Cang twisted his tentacles and slightly adjusted his strength.
Whoosh!
A soft, dark tentacle coiled towards one of the group members, and finally, the soft tentacle successfully wrapped around the burly man's slender waist.
It constricted his chest and abdomen until they were deformed.
His entire face turned purple.
Fortunately, he didn't burst open like other fragile mortals, like a grape bursting with juice.
The tentacles curled it back!
Recover at a speed that is impossible for ordinary people to reach!
Bang!
Extremely fast recovery speed.
No mortal body could withstand such terrifying speed, and as it was being pulled back, it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
"Is it too fast?"
Lu Cang seemed to have forgotten his earlier sadness, and turned his attention to the other group members on the other side.
The group members were still running.
But what difference is there between the speed of an ant, no matter how fast it runs, and being stationary?
Swish!
Two more tentacles shot out!
Bang!
A person was instantly killed by the tentacles; the force was not well controlled, which is why the force was so difficult to control.
No, it wasn't my fault.
The mistake lies in the fact that these mortals are too fragile.
If their bodies were stronger, I wouldn't let them burst into juice.
The fact that the other curled-up person survived made Lu Cang very satisfied.
This time, Lu Cang slowly pulled him back, his soft tentacles dancing in the air. This was an ordinary mortal who couldn't even fly yet, and he was lifted hundreds of meters into the air by Lu Cang's tentacles.
This caused him to vomit everything out.
At the same time, the thoughts from the depths of darkness, the consciousness that invaded his mind, the fear of death, corruption and blasphemy brought him to the brink of mental collapse.
Are demigods beings that can be looked at directly by mortals?
The answer is obvious—no.
Normally, any demigod who wants to communicate normally with mortals needs to conceal their original form.
Even though this disguise is no different from the original true appearance.
However, directly looking at the body of a demigod and seeing an illusion are two different concepts in terms of impact on mortals.
The burly man who had satisfied Lu Cang was pulled back into Lu Cang's sight.
They were pulled back to the narrow slit from which countless tentacles extended.
He saw countless compound eyes from the chaos staring at him through the narrow crevice.
Each compound eye contains primal darkness, a deep darkness, darker than any darkness one has ever seen, as if once enveloped within it, one would lose oneself.
He heard incomprehensible murmurs coming from the narrow crevice.
Just hearing these babbling ramblings made my head feel like it was being torn apart.
"you……"
"What...what are you?!"
He roared at the deep crevice with his last remaining sanity!
Lu Cang tilted his head.
He was angry, but also confused.
At that moment, he heard a sentence through the narrow gap, a language that he seemed to understand but also seemed incomprehensible.
What am I?
"I am Lu Cang."
"I am the one who will save you and protect you."
Upon hearing this, the light in his eyes completely vanished.
Its hands frantically scratched its scalp with uncontrollable impatience, unable to comprehend Lu Cang's words; the blasphemous knowledge repeated itself in its mind.
I don't know if he understood or not.
Lu Cang put him back where he was and looked at the group members who were still fleeing in the distance.
"I'm talking to you guys."
"It's very dangerous to run around in this quicksand; you'll get swallowed up by the quicksand."
Whoosh!
The words had barely left his mouth.
Suddenly, one person lost his footing and sank into quicksand!
But Lu Cang reacted quickly, making his move the moment Lu Cang sank in.
Snap!
They saved half of his body.
"I told you not to wander around."
"Luckily I'm here, otherwise you would have been swallowed up by the quicksand."
The half-human stared blankly at the tentacles that had torn him in two, his eyes already lifeless.
The remaining members were all in a panic!
"ah!"
"don't want!"
"Don't kill me!"
"Stop making noise in my ear!"
"Stop talking!"
...
Some didn't want to see Lu Cang, some ran for their lives, some knelt on the ground and clutched their heads in anguish, their minds filled with blasphemy. Everyone had their own pain! No one was spared.
The dark priest Gurney, who possesses some resistance to darkness, is likely one of the few who can remain conscious.
He was so scared he peed his pants.
They didn't run around, didn't step on quicksand, and withstood the blasphemous ramblings.
But he witnessed it all.
If he could be killed by the giant sand scorpion, perhaps that would be considered a blessing. At this moment, he even envied the commander and Merry.
To be able to die like that...
How peaceful it would be to die without ever seeing such a scene?
A brutal and bizarre massacre is taking place in the desert...
Completely oblivious, Lu Cang drove one member after another to madness, or even beat them to death, and the desert was stained black by the power of darkness.
This place is no longer a desert of yellow sand, but has turned into a patch of ink-black.
When I came to my senses, all I could see was a field littered with corpses.
The blood quickly dried on the shifting sands.
Lu Cang stood quietly in place, the boundless darkness having already spread across most of the desert.
This place was originally a small place, so small that even demigods couldn't fight here.
"Did I do all of this?"
Lu Cang looked at the ruins that had turned into a deep black desert.
And his own mutated body.
A few more words flashed through Lu Cang's mind.
“Your body used to be too fragile, so I adjusted your physical form. Of course… I didn’t touch your soul.”
"Your reincarnation body is shattered and can no longer be used."
"I'll just give you a different, more useful physique, called Primal Chaos Embryo."
Have I forgotten these words?
Was it Naraku who said that?
I just remembered.
How much have I actually forgotten?
After calming down, Lu Cang looked calmly at his hands.
Lu Cang has now regained his human form.
But all those people are gone now.
"Is losing one's mind the price to pay?"
"Is the primordial chaotic embryo a problem with my constitution, or is there something wrong with my body?"
"It was Naraku who tricked me."
Lu Cang clearly recalled what he had just done.
That's not like me.
That's foolish and irrational.
"They're all dead."
Lu Cang felt no emotion upon seeing the corpses of these people, after all, he had long been accustomed to life and death.
The main reason for spending time with these people is to obtain clues about how to leave the restricted area.
Now that these people are dead, Lu Cang feels no emotion whatsoever.
Purely cold.
I just feel like I've remembered something again.
Oh, right...
I once prayed to the darkness, and the darkness responded and gave me strength.
But what will be the price?
Lu Cang had no recollection of the price he paid.
Lu Cang turned his divine sense back to that small town.
The town was completely shrouded in darkness, and everyone was holding their heads and whispering in pain, muttering words that ordinary people couldn't understand.
However, Lu Cang knew.
Those words were all repetitions of their previous use of Naraku language.
Whispers from the abyss of darkness.
This language was acquired along with his attainment of the Dark Godhood.
When other beings hear Naraku's words, their souls are naturally infected by the abyss.
Without divine power, it would be impossible to resist the assimilation of the abyss.
Creatures not native to the Abyss generally do not have the right to set foot in the Abyss before obtaining divine power.
The town is practically dead.
There was no sign of normal life.
The power he had unleashed when he was not fully conscious was enough to destroy these ordinary mortals.
"So, is this restricted area a dead end?"
"Naraku."
"I don't think you'd just casually send me into a situation with no solution."
Lu Cang didn't think that Naraku would make him do something so meaningless.
Lu Cang spoke to the air.
It was as if they had heard Lu Cang's call.
"Are you thinking that I won't let you do something so meaningless?"
"But what things are meaningful?"
"Actually, let me tell you a secret: I like to make people do meaningless things."
The darkness seemed to have seized Lu Cang's heart.
That stagnant feeling returned! It was exactly the same feeling I had when the giant sand scorpion killed the commander!
"However, not now."
"Let's do something meaningful first, and then do something meaningless."
A soft laugh and whisper came from the darkness, and the darkness that had caressed my heart gradually dissipated.
Lu Cang was freed from his stagnation.
At the same time, Lu Cang gasped for breath, retracting the bursting chaos and tentacles, wrapping his body back in his skin, and restoring himself to his original appearance.
"It was just a little incident~ but do you remember anything?"
"Some things you should never have forgotten."
"This forbidden zone is a projection of your mind and consciousness. Some things that should have been hidden and forgotten can be found in this forbidden zone."
"Isn't that amazing?"
The brief moment was enough for Lu Cang to regain his normal composure, and at the same time, he forgot what he had just felt.
It's as if nothing just happened.
Everything is meaningless, nonexistent, and never happened.
Lu Cang asked seriously, "Naraku, if you've been able to show yourself all this time, have you been watching the whole time?"
"As you know, this world limits our power."
"I'm not that easy to show myself~"
"However, just now, I reached some kind of agreement with one of your friends."
Naraku said this.
But Lu Cang couldn't help but repeat himself in thought: "You need friends with whom you can reach an agreement."
Lu Cang frowned, but couldn't recall what it was.
The true God I know...
I do know quite a few true gods, but the actual number of true gods is not that many. Theoretically speaking, I can remember anyone I have ever met.
But Lu Cang couldn't imagine who would reach an agreement with Naraku.
The true god, whom he could call a "friend," reached an agreement with Naraku.
Naraku simply smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't remember, because it's a name you absolutely can't recall."
"You are destined to forget His name."
