Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

There were tens of thousands of beasts glaring daggers at each other. Less than half of them belonged to Elliot, while the remaining were under the serpentine devil's command.

The strongest one amongst them, called Tyler Barnes, had somehow managed to get the beasts of the central zone to help him. Elliot didn't know how, but he didn't care either. He will kill everyone who stands with his enemies to make everything right, simple and easy.

The two armies were having a standoff at the moment, and they were standing five kilometers apart. The onlookers didn't saw Elliot, Grace, and Lucy on the screen. Though, Oliver Charlotte was indeed standing at the helm of the Nightmare army, along with the four guardians. Opposite to them were Tyler and the eight strongest beasts of the Center, including the Devil Bull!

To say the least, the four guardians were shocked when they saw powerful beasts standing beside the serpentine devils, who invaded their homes, restricted their freedom, and in a sense, enslaved them!

"Don't tell me this is true, Devil Bull!"

"The truth is before your eyes, Old Wolf!" Devil Bull said, "What's the use of denying it?!"

They were standing more than five thousand meters apart, but their voice was loud enough to blast through the air and reach the other's ears. Even the rumbling of thunder paled in comparison.

"Y-You! Why have you decided to stand by the sides of the bastards with insidious intent?! Have you lost your mind and your pride as a spirit beast?"

The unexpected stance of his old friend that bordered on the line of betrayal and a stab in the back deeply hurt Old Wolf. He was friendly with the Devil Bull, after all. He felt as if a dearly beloved had betrayed him.

They were once best of friends who grew up together, lived in the same den.

And they even bathed in the same river.

Also, they used to hunt together and share their food in their adolescence age. The adolescent age of spirit beast begins when they are a hundred years old and ends when they reach their one thousand birthday.

As years went by, Old Wolf's obsession with the devil bull increased, and when he finally gained more intelligence, he realized that he was in love with her. He proposed to her on their 1100th-year friendship day. However, the devil bull coldly snorted and rejected his love for her. Then, she went on and married a successful beast from the center. Her reasons were simple—the man she chose for herself was far more stronger, bigger, and richer than Old Wolf. Her reasons were simple—the man she chose for herself was far stronger, bigger, and richer than Old Wolf. Devil Bulls loved big stick, and Old Wolf was very lacking in that department. His stick could never satisfy her. Cough!

Although Old Wolf was extremely heartbroken, humiliated, and furious, he still went to their wedding with a smile, acted as her best man, and gave them his blessing. He was fine as long as she was in his sight. Even looking at her from afar and seeing that she was enjoying her life was enough to put a smile on his wolfish face.

However, sadness struck him once again.

The woman he loved for several hundred years and lived with for more than a thousand years, not only did she marry another man but also left her home a few years after her marriage.

They had lived together for a thousand years before Devil Bull left Old Wolf and migrated to the central zone, breaking his heart. However, they remained in touch with each other, being friends as Old Wolf couldn't forget her, couldn't kick her out of his mind.

The eyes of the fat devil bull squinted in displeasure. It was a wonder how a fit and burly beast like Old Wolf managed to fall so deep in life with someone as ugly as her.

"I did nothing wrong! Do you know? These people are going to open a way for us to step out of this place and enter into the wide world! This so-called home is merely an artificial place created by the soul race to cage us, to lock us beasts. It's only right for us to break it all and set ourselves free. We had been stuck inside this god-forsaken place for thousands of years already. Isn't it high time for us to free ourselves and get out?

"We are only a step away from absolute freedom. We just need to help the serpent's followers, help them achieve their goals first. That's why we need to stop the villains from disturbing the Serpent Swallowing the Heaven formation! I say you should change sides and fight for a greater cause. Old Wolf, considering our pasts, I am making a special exception only for you. Don't make the wrong decision and regret it later."

Each time she said a word, the fat on her body trembled, making her look disgusting and unpleasing to the eyes. And from her words, they realized that the serpentine devils were planning to destroy the entire forest that included the five zones for their so-called purpose! The anger of the nightmare beasts immediately flared up.

"To damn with our relationship. If I knew you were going to turn out like this, I would've bit the fat off your breasts and devoured your ugly heart! I was truly blind like a dog to let someone like you live till today."

"You dumb bitch, you've gone crazy!"

"All you central zone bastards, you had courted death, and that's what we will give you."

"Brothers, let's butcher these ungrateful wrenches that had decided to bite the hands that fed them all this time!"

The four guardians aggressively roared and charged ahead. Tens of thousands of beasts followed after them, anger brimming in their reddened eyes.. Never in a thousand years had they expected such a thing to happen.
