NO. 507: Shake hands, shake both hands

NO. 507 Shake hands, shake both hands

It was once said that, despite the Star-Eater Ghidorah releasing brilliant golden light all over its body, the number of its pupils was even more numerous, as if it were a model that greatly needed light gathering to enhance vision.

But in fact it is blind.

The Star-Eater's Wing does not rely on physiological vision to see objects, but instead uses a mass anchor called the 'eye' to link to the current dimension and shield its physical laws, while perceiving everything.

Therefore, when the Star-Eater's Eye exists, the Star-Eater's field of view is a macroscopic overview from higher dimensions looking down onto lower dimensions, like gazing at a large screen from a top-down angle, the dense annotations filling a world map in a text game, or equivalently, a page filled with all elements of the current map.

Although the eyeballs are merely decorative, the Star-Eater is indeed able to use them to survey all people and things, achieving an astonishing observational ability matching its appearance.

This is Ghidorah.

Although the original version's setting was an evil dragon from Venus, compared to other monsters in the same IP, it emphasized more the alienness of extraterrestrial beings and the evil connoted by the Western dragon image.

But in the development across versions, the latter's imagery was gradually strengthened, gradually linking it to religious faith.

Long before Aomo prepared to give up Star-Eater Zero, the legendary monster card Ghidorah, which had already undergone asset transfer, was continuously shaping an evil divinity through local legends and background music, and even its image referenced the religious work 'The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun' by world-renowned painter William Blake (all the verses in Devil May Cry 5 come from him).

In this version of the Star-Eater Ghidorah, it straightforwardly has a religion worshipping Ghidorah, as well as a complete set of effective rituals for summoning the Star-Eater Ghidorah.

From then on, a god has come into being.

But it is an evil god.

If a hero is sacrificed, it can descend in a more complete form; the evil god of greed that devours the current planet——its compatibility with Aomo Lindun's spirit is astonishingly high.

Unfortunately, compared to 'an existence that harbors intense hatred for monsters and is called a "hero,"' a demon person is practically the complete opposite.

The citizens of the Holy Terra Federation are also quite discerning; although Aomo has indeed done many heroic deeds protecting the city and protecting lives, his means, combat style, and visual presentation each time he goes into battle are truly not those of a hero.

More like a even more ruthless black-on-black predator.

Even his fans' fans on that voting website, the cream of the cream, address him with extraordinary respect, and even have no shortage of extraordinarily embarrassing titles, yet they will never have the two words 'hero'.

Very extreme, but also very true.

You'll know just by looking at the King of Beasts.

Although life's trajectory had already diverged long ago, even a slight deviation leading to a thousand-mile error often involves a long-term development process. And at this time, the still quite young Aomo, on the monster-related path, is not far behind the King of Beasts' starting position.

The consistent style of the King of Beasts title is also carried through.

It's rather extreme, even more like a demon king than a hero.

So at this point, using the information chip carrying Aomo Lindun's body and the Star-Eater Ghidorah as an anchor, to summon the true form of the Star-Eater that, since the chip was embedded, has been ceaselessly trying to influence oneself and turn oneself into its slave……Can this be done? Is this really possible?

Today, Star-Eater Zero will attempt a feat that no one has ever accomplished.

Using what looks extremely forced, completely like projecting it here by the way of demanding money and hoping the other party agrees——

——the location of an even lower dimension within the low-dimensional world.

This is practically like grabbing information from a single page in a book, or micro-managing via a minimap on a game screen; even if one really took it on, they'd likely be forced to quit by these harsh conditions.

Roar!!!!

Hmm, this should be swearing at someone.

Although I can't understand the dragon's roar, the emotional fluctuations are still quite obvious.

Although Aomo really wanted to express surprise that it had actually signed a contract, things happened too fast——when he, via ultra-long-range control, suddenly had a golden dragon constructed entirely of rose thorns thrust into the consciousness domain of Star-Eater Zero, not to mention the other party, he himself would be shocked into uttering a profanity.

But, the instinctive reaction is far higher priority and faster than swearing,

——his consciousness instantly transformed into a demon persona closer to the soul's origin, suddenly bulking up several sizes with scales covering his whole body, and as the Ghidorah's body coiled around him, they scraped out a sharp, piercing sound wave.

He was struggling, which is not strange.

Fighting a beast bare-handed would already be a great disadvantage; even though this is a mental domain, and even though he is a demon person quite confident in his willpower, he is facing an ancient evil god in the form of a ferocious beast, unknown how many years it has lived.

Under this disparity, one can indeed only struggle, but strangely he still unexpectedly has some leeway.

In the process of that overly long dragon neck attempting to bind the torso and arms, it not only failed to bind tighter but was instead pushed open wider,

The other two dragon heads, which originally wanted to bite, were slapped twice by the four wings unfurled behind them, and then even more so were gripped at the jaw by the twin claws; if the mental domain couldn't spit out any sparks, they'd have to immediately develop a welding scene.

However, even if the mental domain struggles to reproduce cosmic laws, the soul construct ingrained in instinct can still manifest some ability in the energy domain!

For example——

The thermal energy sprayed from the patterns in the gaps of the body's scale armor.

And this time it produced a sharp explosive sound.

In an instant, Aomo felt his hearing pierced.

The joint roar of the three heads was truly extraordinary, but even if the soul trembled, it did not affect Aomo continuing to grapple with this evil dragon that not only wanted to seize the handle but also wanted to kill him!

Even if the opponent shoots out a familiar gravitational ray, I could also spit out the same——?

What is this?

Having just sprayed a spiral radiation heat ray, he choked as soon as he stopped speaking; before he could even savor the nuclear taste filling his mouth, he was hit in the face by three bolts of lightning from the opponent, and in pain he swung a palm, emitting a dark red claw light that fiercely embedded into the opponent's neck, thick with spines.

?

Belial's claw light?

This made him involuntarily glance back at his own demon claw still hanging in midair, and then, while dodging Ghidorah's renewed bite with a flash, the bony spur lash from that sideways flick lashed out.

Swish!

At the moment the sharp light collided with its keratin, he clearly saw the tip of his own tail instantly transform into the spiked tail of a rainbow snake, yet he still couldn't budge the opponent's skeleton of unknown material.

However, regardless, having already realized what had happened to his consciousness, and furthermore having again linked via it to the supercomputing of a certain civilization's arbiter, Aomo's high-speed and multi-threaded thinking resumed in the next instant——

His judgment was to head toward this projection that had dropped two dimensions attempting to cover bodily consciousness, and thus collided with himself as the controller.

Spread both arms!

In the next instant, like an embrace!

A silvery-white palm reached out from within!

Then, more palms and arms!
