Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1648: Fresh Hell.
At first, the products of the fusion were humanoid entities with many body parts. They grew bigger and gained more body parts as they absorbed more Tyrants and other amalgams. They quickly turned into a round ball of black flesh that couldn’t walk or talk.
The giant black ball of flesh had many grotesque limbs and wiggling tentacles growing out of it. The limbs were soon fusing into tentacles, which caused the number of black tentacles to increase. Soon it became more of tentacles than anything else. There was no trace of the Tyrants anymore apart from their black skin.
Some of the tentacles entered the ground and took root. They elongated and entrenched themselves deep into the earth. They didn’t stop growing at all.
Their length continued to increase as the black ball of flesh grew bigger. It was as if they wanted to reach the very ends of the realm. They only stopped growing when they
encountered Tyrants hiding in the ground. Then they would wrap around them and drag them back to the core of the amalgam.
The other wiggling tentacles on the surface stretch themselves through the air to grab any Tyrant or other black balls of flesh created through the fusion of Tyrants. The bigger ball absorbed the smaller one and grew bigger.
This continued until only one giant black ball was left in the realm. It stood at more than 9,000 meters tall. But the amalgam wasn’t satisfied. It wanted to continue living and growing. So the tentacles continued growing and began to snatch any living thing they touched to drag back into the black flesh.
The black flesh had grown into a ball over 100 kilometers in diameter, but it was insatiable. Its tentacles reached far into the sky and earth, digging and dragging back living things to eat. Unfortunately, its appetite was destined to go largely unfulfilled because there were no more Tyrants in the realm.
It couldn’t grow anymore, either in size or strength. Only Tyrants could make it grow stronger. Other living things could only grant it sustenance to keep living and not break down due to instability. But the sustenance is only prolonging the inevitable. The black ball of grotesque flesh will collapse once it runs out of sustenance to keep it alive.
In the meantime, the black ball was unreconciled. It fought anyone who dared interfere in its feeding, including Origin gods. These Origin gods were from the high heaven realm and didn’t want to be eaten. But the amalgam was not taking no for an answer. It fought, grabbed, and ate anything it could lay its tentacles on.
It is a good thing because the amalgam has lost its mind. It has lost the knowledge of the reason why it was created and its purpose. If not for the insatiable hunger, it wouldn’t fight anyone at all. It will probably be docile. But the extinction of the Tyrant race in the realm has forced it to direct its hunger onto the enemies of the realm.
One amalgam fought millions of Origin gods in a desperate fight for survival. Its tentacles were somewhat emphemeral, so they could ignore a certain amount of damage done to them. They were also tougher than Origin weapons and could regenerate endlessly, so they were difficult to deal with.
The combination of all these factors made the amalgam more difficult to handle than a demon god. The tentacles would become ephemeral to avoid damage from attacks. They would use their ephemeral state to get closer and surround their enemies. Then they would become solid flesh, as powerful as Origin weapons.
This solid flesh would wound themselves tightly around their prey. More than a thousand of them will do this to each prey, so they were able to completely shroud their prey in tentacles. Then they would drag the prey back to devour it.
Origin gods were easily dragged back to feed the black ball. Only the Supreme Origin gods and demon gods could resist it.
This resistance was only barely. Origin gods were children who couldn’t fight back at all. They were directly bound up and eaten. The Supreme Origin gods, on the other hand, were teenagers who could fight back. But it was only the struggle before death.
They were able to fight off a few tentacles, but it became difficult to resist when the black tentacles surrounded them completely. The best they could do was switch to Supreme Defense to protect their lives, but that also made them at the mercy of the tentacles, who would grab them easily and crush them with a power far beyond what a Supreme Origin god can resist.
Not only is the amalgam much stronger than them, each of its tentacles also possessed Supreme Power, so it was as if the invaders were fighting numerous Supreme Origin gods at once instead of one. They were outnumbered and quickly subdued.
Then the tentacles pierced into their existence and dragged them to be consumed. Their Supreme Law was not consumed, but their energy and essence were devoured by the black ball.
It was a massacre for those on the path of perfection. The tentacles of the amalgam were spreading all over the realm very quickly. They soon covered the whole realm. The wiggling mass of tentacles and the black sphere they formed around their prey were all that could be seen on the surface of the realm.
But then the spheres would collapse, and the opponents at the center would be squeezed and dragged back into the black ball, leaving behind more hungry tentacles searching for prey.
Not even a domain could prevent the fate of being devoured because the tentacles would penetrate into the domains, crush them if they could, or drag out the Origin god within them if they couldn’t crush them.
Demon gods, on the other hand, were not eatable, so the black tentacles didn’t drag them back to be eaten. Instead, they tore the demon gods apart and broke their existence with overwhelming power.
