Chapter 795: Are you ready?

Damon froze for a second before he unleashed a powerful blast and shot backwards from the abyssal node.

"Teehee~ So close and yet so far~ Don’t worry! Soon I will be all over you! Your friend is also waiting here with me. Both of us are really impatient to see you. Don’t worry, baby, I already told him that you are mine and mine alone. He wouldn’t dare to lay his hands on you. Now just stop messing around with my node, will you? Why delay our destined meeting? Haven’t you ignored me enough? Just let the inevitable happen! Ha Ha Ha Ha..."

The evil voice disappeared, and the hand dissolved into shadows as if nothing had happened. However, the very next second, another pulse resounded and an even more dense wave of abyssal energy flooded the entire planet.

Damon was blasted back. Necro God, and Aurora were flung aside like dirt. Even La Rocha was pushed back several paces. Only Nox seemed more and more comfortable. The cat’s eyes glowed with excitement as it took in the new charged atmosphere.

Damon gritted his teeth and pushed back. He was not ready to give in just yet. His body could take it. He could feel it. He could eat more and more. He could keep eating as much as he wanted. He roared and started devouring maniacally. He was not going to break here and now.

But something else broke. Damon’s eyes widened in shock when a new variable appeared without any warning. Mana started flooding in all of a sudden. What was happening now? Wasn’t mana supposed to be introduced at a gradual pace and not all at once?

The mana flooding into Earth was increasing at a ridiculous speed. The atmosphere itself began glowing faintly as enormous quantities of mana poured into the world.

"It should be because of the abyssal energy." La Rocha mused calmly. "Welcome to the cosmos, my dearest MASTER. Heh. I think this means your protection period just ended. Your world is about to be exposed to everyone anytime now. Your tutorial phase should be officially ending right about now."

La Rocha was not wrong. Damon could feel it. The mana levels were simply shooting up.

"Are you ready? If I am not wrong, you are about to face not one but ten Gods. Even if that doesn’t happen, at least the Demon God from the other day should appear promptly. Woo! Things are about to get really interesting." La Rocha grinned.

Damon met the item spirit’s gaze. The bastard was clearly enjoying all of this. But Damon did not have the time to deal with him right now. The shit had now truly hit the fan. Everything was going to become a hot mess, an instant death trap.

Every powerful existence that had once been unable to notice Earth would soon discover it. The protection shielding his world for countless years was disappearing. Earth was no longer hidden. It was exposed. Completely exposed.

Damon clenched his fists. He had to do something and fast. Otherwise, it was fucking game over. But what the hell? What was he even supposed to do now?

He had multiple targets on his back. There was that demon and the Gods who sent these old bastards to their world. On top of that, there was also that freakish abyssal woman and the newcomer, a random old man who was after him. How was he supposed to face them all at once? Even if he decided to run and hide temporarily, how could he possibly hide from a damned God?

Wasn’t he simply fucked? Was he really at the end here?

Damon’s heart raced. He was panicking. He had no idea what to do now. In his two lifetimes, this was an outcome he had never once even remotely thought about or planned for. Everything had spiraled out of control way too quickly. Was it because of his power level?

Damon knew that he was on the cusp of something huge here, but before he could even attempt to get there, suddenly an insurmountable chasm had appeared in front of him!

No matter how monstrous his growth had been, no matter how many miracles he had created, he had still only been at this for a few short months. His enemies had cultivated for thousands. Some perhaps for millions. How was anyone supposed to bridge such a gap? How could he possibly stand against a God?

Damon closed his eyes. His thoughts became increasingly chaotic. Run? Hide? Fight? Fuck! He did not have time to do any of it.

He simply wasn’t strong enough. His fists clenched until blood dripped between his fingers. "Damn it. I need to do something. Anything."

Suddenly, the mark on his hand started glowing. The teleportation key to the tutorial world was beginning to fade. This was it. Everything was truly going to go to hell.

Damon knew he was fighting an uphill battle right from the beginning, but he was betting everything on it. And now the time had come before he reached the peak. This meant he was going to fall down, and he was going to fall down hard.

There was simply no stopping it. His mind went through a million ideas to somehow face this impossible situation, but there was really no way out.

Damon did not think or hesitate anymore. There was no point. There was only one thing he could do, and he was going to go all out doing it. So what if the system or whoever was dumping more and more mana and abyssal energy into this world?

They want everything to change? Not if he stopped it.

What was anyone going to do if every single mana particle disappeared? Every single abyssal energy packet vanishes? How would they still continue with their plans?

That’s right. He was going to devour every last bit of this shit storm!

Damon roared as his body thrummed in pain and pleasure. He doubled down on the devouring and then some more. All of his avatars appeared one after the other and started inhaling all of the mana and the abyssal energy as if there was no tomorrow.

Thanks to the ridiculously overflowing energy, he created more and more avatars on the spot. Soon, there were dozens of blood avatars. Damon had created all of them in the blink of an eye!

Now fifty blood avatars were standing in front of the abyssal node, each of them sucking in terrifying amounts of mana and abyssal energy. Their actions created a giant vortex of swirling mana and abyssal energy.

The giant vortex grew larger and larger as countless streams of mana and abyssal energy were swallowed.

La Rocha’s face completely changed upon seeing this. "Stop this, you unhinged maniac! You are going to destroy yourself along with this world!"

Damon did not care. He continued devouring more and more. He needed more strength. He needed more power. He needed to become indestructible to protect everyone. There was simply no other way. He needed to devour until there was nothing left.

At this point, the vortex became so powerful that black lightning crackled from within it, and the spots where the lightning touched, space cracked, and a void appeared. The entire world was losing its stability.

La Rocha snapped and appeared next to Damon. He then held him and started shaking him. "Stop. Stop. I know another way. Just stop."
