"Gluttony's Wings shall be mine!!!"
With Leilin's declaration came Beelzebub's agonized screams. The demon's pair of black wings were torn free from his body by sheer force, tearing away a massive spray of blood.
"Hsss…" Behind Leilin, the colossal phantom of the Serpent Sovereign loomed, its maw seemingly containing a black hole that devoured the demonic wings in an instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Two fleshy masses materialized behind the phantom's back, then unfurled in a flash, forming a pair of enormous membranous wings — remarkably similar to Beelzebub's former appendages.
"The Law of Gluttony!"
Leilin's voice carried a note of intoxication. "Combined with my own abilities… what sort of result will that produce?"
A terrifying black hole rampaged outward, engulfing Beelzebub's entire body.
Before the ruling talent of the Serpent Sovereign, the demonic form crafted in the image of the Horalar Black Serf was utterly suppressed.
Beelzebub's body slowly vanished beneath the Serpent Sovereign's devouring maw.
The power of Gluttony, cultivated from the template of the Horalar Black Serf, was digested with absurd ease — so much so that the Serpent Sovereign began to undergo yet another transformation.
Vast insights into the Law of Gluttony, along with fragments of Beelzebub's memories, surged forth without warning, crashing against Leilin's soul defenses like a raging tide.
"Hehehe… I am the sovereign of Gluttony's Law! The contamination of Gluttony's power is something you could never hope to purge — hehehe, I should even thank you for providing me with such a magnificent vessel!"
A faint, shadowy outline rose from the surface of the Serpent Sovereign phantom, demonic flames blazing around it. Beelzebub's voice echoed from within.
Under his influence, the enormous mass of energy within the Serpent Sovereign began to assimilate with perfect coordination — simultaneously bolstering the serpent's power and eroding Leilin's will.
The Law of Gluttony had always been Beelzebub's own insight. To seize the power of another's Law meant facing the full counterattack of that will.
"Gluttony's Corruption!" Energy and law power saturated with Beelzebub's will began spreading ceaselessly across Leilin's body.
"Third Strike!!!"
Watching his hand begin to undergo demonic transformation, Leilin's expression was utterly cold, without a trace of pain.
Then, accompanying a frigid voice, terrifying azure lightning infused with the Primordial Power of the World swept across Leilin's body.
Crack! Leilin's massive form collapsed instantly, and an unwilling roar resounded: "No~~~!"
Beelzebub's will, crushed beneath the force of the Inferno World's own consciousness, dissolved like snow meeting sunlight, leaving behind only the purest understanding of law and pristine energy.
[BEEP! Gene fragment reconstruction complete!]
With the Chip's notification, the Serpent Sovereign phantom behind Leilin underwent yet another change.
A pair of razor-sharp claws extended from its forelimbs. The horned ridge atop its head jutted more prominently. The demonic wings at its back grew ever deeper in color, and its entire form was covered in diamond-shaped black scales that radiated an enigmatic halo.
"A new bloodline? No!!!"
The Mother of Myriad Serpents, watching from not far away, could no longer maintain her composure. Despite her wariness of the World Will's protective barrier surrounding Leilin, she launched an attack.
"Shadow of Myriad Serpents!!!"
The dense Shadow World seemed to have been directly summoned here by the Mother of Myriad Serpents, crashing toward the Inferno World.
Facing this, Leilin did not counterattack directly. Instead, he instinctively spoke:
"I am Leilin Farell! Sovereign of all Comoin giant serpents! From this day forth, the Comoin clan shall be free from the Mother of Myriad Serpents' control!"
Chaos churned in Leilin's eyes as he made this solemn declaration. His voice echoed across virtually every world, and every descendant of the Comoin giant serpent bloodline heard it, bowing their bodies in respectful submission.
"Hsss..."
Behind Leilin, the giant serpent that had completed its qualitative transformation also let out a hissing roar at the Mother of Myriad Serpents, bearing no trace of the suppression it had felt before.
"Ugh!" The pain on the Mother of Myriad Serpents' face grew even more pronounced as an invisible force continuously poured into Leilin's body.
"I shall tear apart your Divine Throne!"
He murmured, and the giant serpent behind him bit viciously into the void, producing the sound of shattering glass.
Leilin seemed to see the great Bloodline Web behind the Mother of Myriad Serpents, with a massive section now torn open.
The excruciating pain caused even the giant serpents within the serpent sphere beneath the Mother of Myriad Serpents to wail endlessly, and the entire Shadow World projection collapsed completely.
Losing a portion of her Bloodline Power dealt a devastating blow to the Mother of Myriad Serpents' authority — severe enough to send her into a deep slumber from grievous injury.
"Leilin! Leilin!"
The Mother of Myriad Serpents screamed in fury, but she no longer dared to stay. The massive serpent sphere crashed into the Chains of Chaos.
More giant serpents were struck down by lightning, but they also carved open a gap in the World Will's blockade, allowing the Mother of Myriad Serpents to escape.
Had she remained any longer, the Mother of Myriad Serpents would have been gripped by the ominous premonition of her own annihilation.
