Prime Originator



Splash!

A Whitebone Fiend lost its grip on the rocky walls and fell into the massive body of contaminated water with a huge splash.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Several more Whitebone Fiend fell into the contaminated with heavy splashes.

However, they did not fall after losing their grip on the rocky walls. Instead, the Whitebone Fiends were throwing themselves off the rocky walls in an attempt to reach Leon's position in the center and catch him.

Unfortunately, the Whitebone Fiends fell short by a large margin. They did not come close to reaching him.

Even so, it did not stop the Whitebone Fiends on higher rocky walls from making the same attempt.

Their intelligence was abysmal, but their efforts were praiseworthy.

Nevertheless, the Whitebone Fiends' existence could not be accepted; they had to be exterminated for the betterment of all other races.

Leon suddenly flew towards one side of the rocky walls and slammed into it with great momentum.

At the moment of impact, a wave of Rank 1 Transcendent-level flames surged out of Leon's body, sweeping away all the Whitebone Fiends in the area as the rocky walls greatly shook at the same time.

In the next moment, Leon planted his palm on the cracked rocky wall and connected to the earth to borrow its boundless power as if it was Celestial Earthshaker lending her power to him.

Authority of Earth!

Rumble…!

The entirety of the rocky walls in the region greatly reverberated and shook off all the Whitebone Fiends clinging onto them.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Thousands of Whitebone Fiends quickly splashed into the contaminated water like countless raindrops.

Once all the Whitebone Fiends fell into the contaminated water, they quickly swam towards the rocky walls and attempted to climb up again.

However, Leon didn't give them such an opportunity.

Leon fused dark power with ice and lightning powers. Once a dark-blue energy spear was formed from the triple law fusion, he hurled it into the body of contaminated water.

Splash!

A huge splash was created upon impact. But within the next half breath, the splashed water solidified and retained its splashed form, frozen by the icy properties within the dark-blue energy spear.

However, the freezing effect wasn't just limited to the splash area.

The frozen contaminated water quickly spread across the surface of the contaminated water with a visible borderline that did not seem to stop until the entire water surface was frozen.

It was a result of the all-encompassing property of darkness and the conductive property of lightning.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

All the Whitebone Fiends caught in the frozen region were immobilized and zapped to death as the dark-blue energy spear scattered into countless snakes that jumped from one target to another.

Several breaths later, all life within the frozen sea of contaminated water was snuffed out by the chain-lightning attack.

Leon's feet slowly landed on the frozen surface as he descended.

Afterward, a wave of nihility swept out. It reduced everything in Leon's immediate surroundings into countless wisps of True Grandmist Energy that he soon devoured and fed his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.

Leon drained the contaminated water as he descended toward the space debris situated at the bottom of the sea of contaminated water.

As the space debris came within the range of his divine sense, Leon narrowed his eyes.

'What the hell… is this?'

Leon's astonished eyes soon landed on the dark-red exterior of the space debris—no, the tip of the colossal pillar from space.

The exterior was fully painted in a dark-red color, while the interior was partially silver or black.

Nevertheless, it didn't change the fact that the colossal pillar was dominated by the dark-red color of blood.

However, what was important wasn't the color itself.

'The blood had completely fused with the metal to create some sort of blood-metal material… But more importantly, it contains such a dense amount of wrath energy within the bloodmetal and almost feels… alive?'

Leon became suspicious of the bloodmetal.

It didn't take long before the colossal blood-metal pillar confirmed his suspicion by moving parts of its structure as if it was trying to wriggle its way down into the deeper parts of the abyss.

'It is alive…!' Leon was shocked by the discovery.

He had seen the wrath-infested creatures assimilate other organic substances. But it was the first time he had seen them assimilate non-organic substances.

Although it did cross his mind for a moment that the blood-metal structure could have been a type of living metal that gained sentience and hosted a metal spirit, it was quickly crossed off the list of possibilities.

Just like how heavenly flames and fire spirits exist, heavenly metal and metal spirits also exist. The same also applied to other types of elements.

However, they were extremely rare and only born under very specific conditions and a long passage of time.

But the deciding factor was that heavenly metals were formless and definitely did not take on the forms of structures that were obviously manmade.

'This… can be considered a type of artificially-made heavenly metal by fusing the blood of wrath-infected creatures with the metal…' Leon thought.

Nevertheless, the living bloodmetal might not be as strong as genuine heavenly metals.

Heavenly metals aside, Leon understood why the water had been contaminated to such a high degree. It was indeed caused by the space debris, which was the colossal living blood-metal pillar.

Parts of its blood-metal substances had fallen off from its main body like rusty powder, and the dense amount of wrath energy within them was released into the water.

Suddenly, Leon started feeling his skin crawling with goosebumps when he discovered the rusty powder was alive like tiny dust mites.

It was unknown what sorts of dangers and health problems would arise if anyone were to consume the contaminated water containing these bloodmetal mites.

Leon immediately labeled the bloodmetal mites as extremely dangerous existences. It wouldn't be easy to cure people that are infected by them.

Sometimes, the tiniest of creatures could become even scarier than the biggest of creatures.

'I have to exterminate them!' Leon decided.
