Chapter 718: Dark Plans

Larzak walked across the dark jungles below the light of the moon, his face seemed tired of all the things he had experienced through his life. He seemed exhausted of life as a whole, as if he didn't wanted to continue through this journey anymore. His mind was drowning in the guilt of what he had done.

He reached his village and walked past it, reaching the ancient, abandoned ruins where the Scaled God was resting, what greeted his sight was something he was expecting to see but always caused frightening terror into his heart, the enormous, scaled beast whose body was slowly and constantly shapeshifting itself.

At first, when the Scaled God was awake, he looked more or less like a "normal" dragon would look like, with green scales, a large body, sharp scales and claws, a big head, horns, and more. He was the epitome of a conventional dragon design… However, as the time passed, his body continued to… decay.

But at the same as it continued to decay, it slowly shaped itself differently, the scales turned black, it had miasma spreading over its entire body, and its eyes slowly mutated into two big and red eyes, frightening to the sight of anybody that were to see them.

His body continued to grow bigger and his arms continued to become long and monstrous, gaining several metallic spikes across them, and the black claws became larger and more terrifying… the entire creature simply mutated and became worse.

Larzak was able to tell what was happening with this monster, and quickly realized how frightening monstrous it was becoming. This monster was not a Scaled God, this was one of the first things that Larzak realized as he continued seeing the slow metamorphosis of the beast…

"Ahhh, you're here once more, my loyal subject, Larzak." Said the monster, as its enormous crimson-red eyes glared down at Larzak. The Lizardman's heart felt as if it was being tightly pressed by giant claws, he felt completely at the mercy of this abomination.

"The preparations are ready…" Sighed Larzak.

"Excellent. You're such a competent warrior, Larzak…" Laughed the entity. "And leader, of course. I will make sure to reward you handsomely in the near future."

"With… your due respect, my lord…" Said Larzak.

"Yes?" Asked the Scaled God, interested in what his subject had to say.

"I think… this entire plan is bad… W-What if they die for nothing? Even your own spawns will die too… Won't you lose energy?" He asked, trying to be respectful.

"Hmmm, indeed. I am grateful for your concern about me, I am very flattered indeed…" Said the Scaled God. "However, as long as I can get emotions, souls… and blood, it is all good for me."

The Scaled God had only been chasing down the simplest of resources, which could be extracted from all living beings, emotions, souls, and blood… It was strange for him to want these things to grow stronger. Although there are techniques that can make a person's soul stronger by eating souls, this being's soul was already surely too strong to get benefitted from such a simple technique.

Because of this, Larzak always wondered what was the point of it? And what did he even meant by "emotions"? How is it possible for this monster to extract emotions, somehow? And then there was the question of why did he need blood? He was certainly not some vampire dragon, so why did it need blood?

And how would it accumulate all of those resources if the Scaled Demon wasn't even moving from his place like at all? He was going to sit in here and just sleep while everything happened. How did all of this made any sense? It was indeed strange, and quite possibly bizarre as well.

"H-How do you use such resources?" He wondered.

Larzak was already overstepping from his boundaries by asking so many questions, but the Scaled God didn't seem to mind, in fact, it enjoyed explaining things to the feeble little ignorant mind of the lizardman that served him, as if it enjoyed imparting words of wisdom to a lesser being, making him enjoy the moment instead of finding it an annoyance.

Deep down, the Scaled God had many plans, but was often extremely bored as well, after all, it used to be a being that constantly moved around in constant chaos… so being so calm and composed inside some ruins really stressed him instead of making him feel better.

"How can I do so?" Wondered the Scaled God. "Well, Souls is the spirit of life, it is a rich resource that can help me break the boundaries of Laws in large quantities… Emotions are an intrinsic essence that spreads across all known dimensions, it can be used for many unconventional things, despite what the ignorant might think… And lastly, why blood? Well, blood is a good catalyzer, it contains the essence of life itself, by using this as a sacrifice, I can generate a surplus energy that is strong enough for me to generate an interdimensional phenomena when coupled with the other resources…"

"…What?" Larzak asked in disbelief. He didn't understood almost a single thing about what the Scaled God spoke, they were indeed words that only Gods could understand, a simple hunter like him that has lived his entire life inside a jungle never could see the truest essence of all things like the Scaled God, a being that wasn't what others within the lizardmen villages thought he was…

"Hahahaha…" Laughed the Scaled God, amused by the small lizardman and his ignorance, as if he was enjoying how he couldn't comprehend the greater meaning, amused about seeing an ignorant trying to delve into the deeper knowledge of the abyss itself. "You don't have to worry about it, my loyal subject. You're a pawn, and as a pawn, your job will one day come, live, and thrive until that day. Now, go away."

"A-Ah… Yes…" Sighed Larzak, slowly walking away. The Scaled God had already grown bored of him, and decided to remain in silence and solitude…
