Chapter 553: Nyzzet's Labyrinth Conquest] 15/?: Begudhur

-----

Nyzzet was always a lazy and unaware god of his own creations, aside from his own people, his dungeon had gone through many things that he never realized due to slumbering for hundreds of years.

​​

Although a few hundred years was nothing to a Dragon God such as Nyzzet, for humans those years were generations of history, battles, and countless heroes raising and fighting against evil.

Although the Border Continent of the Realm of Vida was not as populated by humans as the central continents, its history was rich, and many heroes had been raised to defeat Demons and other menacing monsters that had been raised through the generations.

One group of heroes, three hundred years ago realized the impossible with the help of many of the Central Continent Gods and their blessings, defeating a Demon Demigod who had caused much chaos through its existence, even if it was a mere Demigod.

A Demon Demigod that despite its weakness, caused a large number of catastrophic events, atrocities, and destruction in many of the Human Kingdoms that once inhabited the Border Continent in larger quantities.

Due to its unique divinity and powers, it manipulated even more mortals than even Geggoron and was deemed as a dangerous entity that shouldn't be given any mercy, even by the Central Continent gods who found its powers too dangerous to be left unscathed.

This being was born from a tiny and pathetic insect, from an egg that was not even bigger than a rice seed.

A creature that crawled and parasitized to survive.

It broke through its eggshell and devoured it, and then it moved slowly, crawling like a little and pathetic being that no one would ever expect that it could cause such chaos in the future.

This Demon God was not born before the Ragnarök, and was a native god of the Realm of Vida, born in this Realm, much after the Ragnarök took place and much after Genesis was split into pieces.

It was perhaps one of the first living beings that appeared in the Realm of Vida, and after seeing how the gods nourished this land and gave it all the wonders of life, it used this young age of the Realm to grow stronger through its devious powers, granted by the System that had been created just recently when it was born.

It developed its latent race powers to parasitize beings and control them, by abusing the system skills and abilities, it slowly gained strength and nourished itself by taking over many hosts throughout its life.

At a certain point, when it finally managed to parasitize a human, it gained sentience.

And alongside its sentience, came to a mind, consciousness, emotions, and personality… but even after acquiring all of this, it only used them as tools to take over more hosts, to feed its unquenchable thirst for power.

By slowly developing its unique powers in ways never seen before in the world, it managed to draw in the powers of its host, to devour their souls, and to grow exponentially stronger…

Host after host, it kept growing strong, and while it did this, it stirred chaos amongst many Human Kingdoms, the people were parasitized by it, drained of their life and soul and then left as mummified husks… many villages, towns, and cities appeared as graveyards filled with mummified corpses every day, the Kingdoms were worried about what could happen to them in the future,

Many great figures of that time gathered, to discern what was happening to their Kingdoms, what was attacking them.

Could it be a disease?

Could it be a plague?

Perhaps a venom or a change in the environment?

Or Monsters?

No matter how many conclusions they came out with, it was impossible to come out with solutions to what was happening, everything was happening too fast, the people were quickly growing paranoiac and they could only ask for the help of the gods.

And after many years of Kingdoms after Kingdoms dying out, the gods could not help but intervene… but it seemed that it was too late.

This being had already raised into godhood when they finally decided to help the mortals.

Its nature as a parasite so deeply seeped into its very self that the only divinity it could acquire was that of a parasite… which in result only made its work faster and more efficiently, to the point that it could even divide itself and parasitize many beings at the same time.

Despite it having barely reached Demigod Rank, it was already a threat that even some Great Gods considered as something that needed to be destroyed at all costs.

The System called him Begudhur, the Demon Demigod of Parasites, and it was then known by the gods as such.

Begudhur, however, was not interested in gods but always was in mortals… he was capable of developing even by parasitizing mortals, and with its powers, it expanded its voracity everywhere in the Border Continent, Kingdoms fell over his parasitic desires faster than ever, even those named Champions were nothing but delicious aperitives for the Demon Demigod.

The gods decided to act together, an event that would rarely happen through the entirety of the Realm. They used their powers to quickly nurture a Hero group, blessed by so many gods that his powers soared through the sky as if he had become a demigod alongside its companions.

This Hero's name would go through history (mostly in the central continent) and he would become a real demigod later on alongside his companions.

The decisive battle happened in the old Kingdom of Eastgrande, where Begudhur had seeped its entire existence into the living beings of it, to create thousands of pawns that could bring him more delicious prey such as the Heroes and Champions that the gods sent to him, so he could parasitize their bodies, dry their powers and eat their souls.

Begudhur, however, never knew that this party of heroes would end up being the last one he would see before being defeated.

After having defeated many of his strongest clones, Begudhur was cornered and then sealed… it was incredibly hard to destroy a god, even if many gods put power into it, as they would need to use the Divinity Devouring Technique, but because Begudhur own divinity was incredibly dangerous even if assimilated by other gods.

It was decided by the gods to instead seal Begudhur into an artifact and then seal him again in the depths of a Labyrinth that it could never get out of, such as Nyzzet's Labyrinth, which was chosen by the gods when Nyzzet was sleeping and didn't even get to know about Begudhur story at all…

And because the place where this Demigod was sealed was a secret, Nyzzet never got to know about it through the information he sometimes bought in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop and he assumed that it was something that happened in the central continent and not in the border continent.

This thought most likely emerged on his mind because many of the gods involved in this event inhabited the central continent, giving him the false thought that it was something that barely affected the border continent…

And like this, Nyzzet once again was completely unaware and aloof of the truth that was happening in his dungeon, Lazuli was already a lot, but then a Demon Demigod related to parasitism would probably make him faint in disbelief.

Nyzzet just wanted to live a peaceful life in relaxation while taking care of his children, but destiny played a lot of tricks on the poor dragon god… however, most of them didn't even affect him directly at all, so it could be said that, although they were rather terrible things to happen into his dungeon, they weren't much because he was not affected at the end…

However, Begudhur was not completely sealed, even when his entire entity was put into a divinely crafted material that was then sealed once again into the depths of the dungeon. Similarly, to how it happened with Megusan, Begudhur slowly seeped his powers into the seal and cracked it slowly but surely.

Even after being sealed and utterly defeated, Begudhur only desired to parasitize more, to assimilate more beings into his power, to devour more souls, and to grow infinitely stronger. To one day fulfill his greatest desire and parasitize the entire Realm of Vida… and then the World of Genesis.

Not even Supreme Gods would be able to fight against his parasitism which was his own divinity itself… as long as he developed accordingly, his potential was limitless!

"As long as I exist, this world will one day be mine! I am destined to bring this place into my own hands, it will become my host!"

As the years went by, Begudhur continued cracking the seals, dozens of years later, his progress was very small, but it was showing itself that his perseverance would one day bring him a fruitful result.

Until one day, after almost three hundred years of being sealed, Begudhur felt for the first time an entity whose power was incredibly vast, similar to those despicable gods that sealed him with the help of the Hero and its party.

Such frightful power seeped through the entire dungeon, making Begudhur's double seal weaken tremendously.

He did not know if he should be thankful for such a being or terrified of its threatening existence.

However, he put into use this wonderful opportunity, using all of his leftover Divine Energy that he had been slowly gathering naturally, and finally breaking through both seals by parasitizing them as if they were a living being as well.

His parasitizing powers had developed so much that Begudhur was even capable of 'parasitizing' things that were not even alive, mere objects which he could take over, assimilate, and grow stronger from.

Absorbing the powers of the seals gave him back all of the Divine Energy he spent parasitizing them, and even gave him more power than he expected, most likely because the seal contained the Divine Energy of dozens of the gods of the Central Continent. 

"At last… I have awakened! The world is once again mine to parasitize! But there is a thing I must get rid of first! That being… For now, I must grow strong and quickly gather power so I can crush it and parasitize it as well!" thought Begudhur, quickly using the little time he had on his hands before Kireina descended to the last floors to parasitize many monsters, absorbing their powers and devouring their souls.

Starting from tiny reptilian creatures, he slowly raised through the food chain of this dungeon, parasitizing Lizardmen and then Wyverns, Lesser Dragons, and then finally Dragons in the span of a few days that Kireina had been taking to complete the dungeon with her family.

Begudhur had been reduced only into his Divine Soul, and most of the power he accumulated through parasitizing other beings before being sealed slowly dissipated as he weakened severely, now he had to take over new hosts and slowly accumulate the power assimilated from them, while devouring their souls to nourish himself more.

Begudhur started by assimilating smaller Reptilian monsters, absorbing their vitality, mana, and then eating their souls. Of course, his powers were not about just jumping over hosts and host, but he was capable of splitting himself and parasitize many at the same time, controlling them and slowly devouring them from the inside.

Like this, he spread himself through the lower floors as if he were a Legion, and used the many smaller monsters he parasitized to take over bigger ones.

After the few days, he had to grow strong before Kireina appeared, he had now taken over a Giant Thunder Dragon Tyrant Emperor, and was fighting many Thunder Dragons and Thunder Wyverns to make them his parasitized pawns, as he needed a large and strong enough army to fight off the being whose aura managed to weaken his seal, Kireina, which he planned to parasitize.

However, he was noticed by a strong Dragon that was not Nyzzet.

There were some tribes of intelligent Lizardmen that lived in the depths of Nyzzet's Labyrinth, but their ability to work together and form small civilizations for so many years wasn't because of themselves alone, but dragons that had been born in the dungeon that raised in strength and developed intelligence had been guiding them. Such dragons were worshiped as small gods, although they were still mortals, and were called the 'Elder Dragons' by the Lizardmen.

Because Nyzzet didn't care much about what was inside his dungeon, he didn't take any actions against these small civilizations, they weren't his children so he wouldn't save them, but there wasn't any need to kill them, so he let them thrive as long as they didn't affect the dungeon negatively.

"That dragon that had appeared a few days ago… just what kind of being is that?!" thought the Elder Dragon, flying away back to his village to alert the Lizardmen that it took care of about this new threat.
