A speck of dust flies by a shady tree. This little iota of thing which has no intelligence miraculously gains wisdom. It asks itself questions of its identity but as it is only a dust in the middle of nowhere, it has little influence on its surrounding but deep inside it wants to become more.

A year passes.

Ten years.

A decade,

a century,

a millennium

And in an instant a billion years of static waiting came a being. Its form is of a giant man easily 7 feet tall with muscles bulging in all the right places. One look and a person can tell that this is no ordinary being.

The sky darkens and a realm wide energy suction is done by this expert. Tribulation lightning falls in torrents as it does not allow a being like this to come into this realm. It aims to repel this man.

One lightning as big as a dragon unleashes to consume this outsider. In a split second this heaven frightening scenario wreaks havoc upon this world. The continent was destroyed and countless of innocent lives were reaped. No man can live and witness this event as the whole world is akin to a boat amidst a tsunami.

“Hmmm, well this is troublesome.” The man said as he looks upon the clouds. If one clearly observes, little by little the body of this man diminishes as parts vanishes away to dust. His left hand, then his chest is no more. And when that big lightning fell, he literally explodes. And a second after regains his form as if nothing happened.

This power did not come from blood rebirth since he has no mortal body to use. In simple terms, his whole body is made up of rock. This was what he gained upon a billion years of constant reinforcement.

“It seems like heaven wants to eat me. If that is the case, then let us see who eats who in the end. Alchemist Circle: Devour!!!” The man roared and a summoning seal has been printed around him.

He has been around for countless eons and with vast knowledge and techniques in his disposal this summoning circle has been the most suitable answer for his dilemma. As he is a being composed of rock, he neither has no blood energy nor magical essence to conjure.

What he can use is a type of summoning where he can only call for aid outside this current realm. In a flash his form changed from that of a sturdy man to a humongous snake. Its size immeasurable, clearly this wasn’t a common transformation.

The big snake which was formerly the man opened it jaw as it deems to take this lightning as its own. As if angered, the heavens pour out more devastating lightning to strike against the monstrosity but the snake was not to be outmatched.

It devoured more lightning essence and when it came to the point when it reached its devouring limit; three black holes appeared around it in a triangular form like an endless abyss that just couldn’t be filled. The more lightning fell, the more formidable the snake became making it easier to swallow the power of the heavens and the lightning tribulation finally was defeated.  

When the final lightning vanished, one can see that that this once healthy world filled with people and life alike, turned into an instant cemetery burying along with it a trillion peoples. When gods and deities fight, the mortals are similar to the ants that are easily squashed.

“hahahahah. I live!!!” the snake laughed in triumph.
