Chapter 1088: Gnawing

Gnawing

"Want to erase me... it's not that easy." Chen Ling spoke hoarsely.

The instant those two pitch-black arms of his entered his line of sight, a flash of inspiration suddenly passed through Chen Ling's mind, as if he realized something.

If you want to truly defeat a Calamity, you must first become the Calamity...

I am already a Calamity.

No, that's not right...

Chen Ling knew that he was the Calamity of Mockery, one of its numerous consciousnesses... Strictly speaking, he himself was a Calamity, naturally there was no such thing as "becoming a Calamity". But when his own pitch-black hands grabbed other Audience members, he realized something was wrong.

Even if Chen Ling was already a Calamity from the perspective of biology, just as Zhao Yi mentioned earlier, he and the Calamity of Mockery weren't Slaughtering the Calamity in the real world, but undergoing Conscious Entanglement in the mind.

On the conscious level, Chen Ling had never considered himself a Calamity.

Suddenly, a scene surged into Chen Ling's mind.

"Not 'slaughter', but 'annexation'..."

Chen Ling's body was dragged by several Audience members to the edge of the Stage. Those Audience members seemingly also didn't expect Chen Ling to still have the strength to resist, so they wrestled with Chen Ling's hands together, trying to directly push him down.

Just at this time, Chen Ling's figure fiercely twisted in mid-air. Borrowing force from the edge of the Stage with his feet, he directly flipped behind the crowd, then took the opportunity to knock two Audience members off the Stage, falling into the Audience Seats.

The only Audience member who wasn't knocked off the Stage directly swung a fist towards Chen Ling's face. But the latter agilely dodged this strike, then once again utilized his body weight to pounce, knocking him over to the ground together...

Chen Ling lay prone on the Audience member, struggling to climb up. In the dim light and shadow, unprecedented ferocity and madness flickered in his eyes!

"I am... a Calamity!!"

Chen Ling roared in a low voice. His hands pressed down on that Audience member's head and shoulders, and he bit towards the other party's neck!!

Sharp teeth cut open the Audience member's throat. Chen Ling pressed on him, crazily gnawing his body. That Audience member struggled continuously, his scarlet pupils full of panic!

At this time, Chen Ling could no longer see any human characteristics, instead looking more like a fierce Calamity. The Audience member pressed beneath him and crazily bitten, seemingly turned into a "broiler" from the past, an unprecedented gluttonous delicacy.

Chen Ling was gnawing the Calamity of Mockery... Just like how the Calamity of Mockery gnawed other Calamities in the Ghost Mockery Abyss.

This was the invasion and hegemony of a superior treating an inferior!

Compared to the "broiler" back then, the Audience member's body was slightly raw, perhaps due to not being roasted with fire. But even so, as Chen Ling crazily bit, a surge of power was crazily swallowed into his body, flowing into every corner of his body.

The original exhaustion gradually receded, and the injuries on his body were also slowly recovering. Chen Ling felt that some kind of change had occurred inside his body, and his power surged unprecedentedly!

Sizzle——

The light of the spotlight flickered slightly.

A black shadow wearing a complex Theatrical Robe stood up from the severed limbs of companions all over the floor. While fiercely chewing the bizarre thing in his mouth, he stared deadly at the surrounding Audience members, his eyes already dyed with a trace of redness...

"Is this 'annexation'..." Chen Ling licked his lips, his figure actively charging towards the squirming wave of black shadows like a sharp sword!

"Feels... not bad."

Witnessing Chen Ling gnawing an Audience member with their own eyes, the remaining Audience members all blanked out for a moment. Seeing Chen Ling actively charge over at this time, they were somewhat flustered for a while... But relying on their numerical advantage, they still easily submerged Chen Ling within.

But the current Chen Ling had already given up on the previous hand-to-hand combat fighting style. He was like a jackal unafraid of death, constantly shuttling through the crowd. Whenever he passed by an Audience member, he would bite them like crazy. Letting the other Audience members' fists smash on his body, it was as if he couldn't feel it. His eyes emitting a faint red light were full of excitement and greed!

...

Wuji Domain.

Red and black flames suddenly erupted from [Mockery]'s body like a deflagration. The "human figure" who was originally still fighting Jian Changsheng with one hand fiercely froze in place, as if turning into a burning man of fire.

"What's the situation??"

Jian Changsheng, who got his life back, panted heavily. Seeing this scene, surprise surfaced in his eyes.

Demigod Killing Intent dissipated beside him. Jian Changsheng was also nearing his limit, but he didn't dare to completely relax. Instead, he forcefully gritted his teeth and stood in mid-air, vigilantly looking at the Calamity of Mockery who had fallen into chaos, seemingly ready to fight again at any time.

"This..." Even Zhao Yi, who was just teaching Chen Ling, blanked out now.

He and the skeletal pale wolf blankly looked at the Calamity of Mockery enveloped in flames, speaking uncertainly, "Normal [Slaughtering the Calamity]... would have this kind of reaction?"

"... Never heard of it." The skeletal pale wolf found it inconceivable. "What exactly did he do?"

"Did I not express it properly just now?"

Zhao Yi scratched his head.

"But looking at the current situation... the result should be good."

While everyone was talking, the "human figure" holding the red umbrella could no longer see his outline clearly. Those raging flames enveloped him like anger. Even if continuous streams of Red Paper began to consciously blockade those flames, it seemed a bit late.

As Chen Ling crazily gnawed Audience members on the Stage, the flames surging from his body became more and more. He couldn't even maintain his state in the air, instead stumbling and falling towards the earth...

Seeing this, Han Meng and the others frowned. Just as they were about to step forward, Little Jian wrapped in Demigod Killing Intent also fell to the earth along with him.

"Don't go over!"

Holding the sword with one hand, Jian Changsheng protected everyone behind him, his bloodshot eyes staring deadly at the "human figure" not far away.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Chen Ling on the Stage seemed to have his brain occupied by some kind of emotion, having completely forgotten everything in the outside world. At this time, in those eyes with a hint of redness, each black shadow also seemed to turn into a lively "broiler", emitting an aroma that made him drool.

From the moment Chen Ling started gnawing Audience members, the black shadows on the Stage decreased at an astonishing speed. They all seemed to not dare to get close to Chen Ling, disappearing without a trace one by one...

"Don't run!! None of you run!!!"

The black shadow wearing the Theatrical Robe continuously pounced on the surrounding "broilers". When he tore off an Audience member's arm, the latter directly disappeared on the Stage... Chen Ling opened his giant black shadow mouth, crazily gnawing the arm, swallowing it into his stomach in two or three bites.

When he prepared to seek his next target, Chen Ling suddenly looked back, only to find that the entire Stage... was actually completely empty.

Holding several severed fingers in his hands, Chen Ling stood tottering on the stage. Those scarlet pupils were first confused for a moment, and then a touch of ecstasy and banter surfaced... He suddenly laughed heartily, even his shoulders trembling.

"You're afraid!! You're all afraid!!"

"I've said it... the winner on this Stage is only me... it can only be me!!! Hahahaha..."
