Chapter 169 - Black Moon – 6 (1/2)

Black Moon – 6

[Reign. Reign. Reign!]

The black moon rebelled against me, pouring out evil thoughts onto me. But I was already standing at the top of the underground. If I wanted to go further, I had to trample over it and climb on top.

“Why keep fighting?!”

[Reign! Reign! Reign!]

This is why heaven tried to strike at me. They sensed that the Demon King, filled with Gluttony and Greed, wouldn’t be satisfied with just crawling on the earth. He would raise his head to the sky. Heaven reacted fiercely to the creature’s coup, working hard to trample over our lives, emotions, and wills. The world had collapsed, my past and future ruined. All that was left for me was the body of a goblin and the hidden anger of lost desires that led me here. To correct everything.

The moment I faced the black moon, I was convinced. If I wanted to rise up there, I would have to devour it first.

[Reign! Reign!]

The wolf’s wide-open jaws began to gnaw at the black moon. Each time a hole was torn into it, and each time it diminished little by little, a shock rocked my body. No matter how much I regained, compared to the black moon that was a part of the heavens, the difference was too great. Despite building the Tower of Destiny to overcome it, the shock was still transmitted. I felt pathetic, thinking I tasted the most extreme of pain before. I was still just a frog struggling at the bottom of a well, unaware of the strength of those above me. But, in such a pathetic manner, I had survived so far.

Goblins, wolves, trolls, spiders, ogres, elves, angels, Lucifers. I ate all those struggling beside me and stood on top of them all. I had designed this tower with the purpose of survival and attracted all those below me to the underground. Was I really going to kneel down to the pain now?

[Reign! Reign! Reign! Reign!]

“Shut up! Shut up!” Resonating with my yelling, the tower vibrated violently, and the wolf shaped by Gluttony swelled in size. A huge hole was torn through the moon.

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

The evil will that echoed in my head was lifted, replaced by a scream of pure agony. Was this guy just like my other prey, after all?

[Ahhhhhh!]

It was the scream of a child being burned for the first time. It reverberated all around me, fueling my burning appetite. The wolf ran wild, taking larger and larger bites. The number of holes in the moon gradually increased.

[Ahhhhh!]

“Without leaving a single crumb, I will devour all of you!” The reign that the black moon wanted so much, I would achieve it. So long as there was something above me, I wouldn’t be the ruler. Just because I could eat things that were weaker than me didn’t mean I could rule. I had to eat all things stronger than me and reach the highest point I could so that no one could oppress me.

[Kha…you, you are…Fate, the cursed one. The one who craves endlessly…deviating from reason…!]

“Now will you finally face me?” Was this the fragment of the celestial will left inside the black moon? Or were they directly connected? It didn’t matter.

[Your endless greed will bring ruin. All reason and providence will be shattered, leading you and everything around you to death.]

“You’ve already been doing that.” I endured the pain and ground my teeth. This was a truly shameless guy.

“But it will be different from now on. Everything will change.”
