Rowan's current size was difficult to comprehend, but the creature that stepped forward from the darkness was at least a hundred times bigger than him. Shaped like a giant caterpillar with billions of legs, the other end of the creature had disappeared into the darkness and Rowan could not determine its full length, but what truly drew his attention was the head of the creature, which was a thing out of horror.
Its face was just countless sharp yellow teeth that appeared to be decaying, and they were all releasing a large amount of white powdery substance whenever it made any move. The powdery substance had coated its entire body, giving it a sickly appearance.
When it talked, the sound that emerged came from it rubbing the untold trillions of teeth together. With the size of this thing, if it ever found its way into the universe, then in a short while, it should be able to devour an entire galaxy.
The presence of whatever this thing was finally shattered the last resisting souls of the gods inside Rowan's Mental Space, and a flood of Soul Crystals became heaped in a large mound.
Rowan's cold eyes looked at this creature, which should be the most powerful thing he had ever come across in his life. The aura escaping from it was nonexistent, yet it was still present and pervasive like having your face shoved into a rotten corpse.
Rowan could detect the soul from the creature, how could he not, for it was shining as bright as a star, and unlike any being he had ever seen inside the material universe, the soul of this Creature was woven in every fiber of its being.
'Is this the next step after the Immortal Souls of the gods and Archmages? The Soul and the body would unite and become one.' Rowan was deeply intrigued, 'Did it make it harder or easier for his Soul devouring ability to work on creatures like this?
He was interrupted in his short musing by the irritated chittering of the creature, who seemed to be earnestly waiting for his reply.
Rowan smiled, "Eh, I will have to say no to that delightful offer."
From the crown of stars in his head whispering sweet words of conquest and dominance to every single cell in his body, he sent a beam of starlight that could span across an entire universe towards the creature.
This beam of starlight drew the power of all his bodily attributes and compressed it into light. He did not know how powerful this beam was, but he knew he would be able to kill a million of his previous self with it.
Its power would have easily vaporized his fragile flesh into nothingness, punched its way into his Mental Space, and turned his City of Sheol, his Tree of Desire, and all his Dominion to nothingness in the blink of an eye.
Before a power like this, his fragile immortality while inside the universe, could as well be nonexistent.
The starlight pierced through the massive energy streams outside the universe, tearing through them before it slammed into the creature…. and it was unfazed.
