Chapter 295 Worldeater Species
Within the Cosmos, there was already something that was pretty similar to the Worldeater Species, yet it was fundamentally different in several areas.
One of the Scourges of the Cosmos, together with the Orks and hostile Outer Gods that were doing what they wanted... the Zerg Swarm.
And yet, contrary to the Worldeater Species, the Zerg Swarm, no matter how big it was and how many World have fallen prey to it, were not that dangerous to the balance of the Cosmos in the first place.
Samiel knew why...
The fundamental origin of the Worldeaters was too terrifying.
They are creatures of the Void that use the resources of a World in order to grow. Within the depths of the myriad Worlds of the Material Plane of the Cosmos, they are a powerful species that can eat anything, viewing all life with Soul as its food.
They are the natural enemy of all life; their very own existence presented the antithesis to the concept of life itself.
The seed of war and destruction, otherwise known as the Broodmother Worldeater, is a wondrous weapon of war. They are ultimately adaptable creatures, able to evolve and adapt to any situation.
What made them even more dangerous, far more dangerous than the Zerg Swarm, was the fact, that they could devour Soul and obtain all of the power through the Professional's Soul, which was making them countless times more dangerous than the Zerg Swarm.
Aside from that, the Worldeater possessed extremely frightening intelligence; Samiel could tell that their intelligence was no less than his computing abilities when he was using Level 4 Transcendental Ability Architect to the maximum.
Worldeaters were able to reproduce at a rapid pace, eat everything in their path, including some things that would give even the Zerg Swarm some headaches and they dwelled in the concept of Souls.
They were able to extract their very own essence, thus obtaining all things that someone mastered and learned during their life, including their very own skills and abilities, that made the Worldeaters so frightening.
Not to mention, their final evolution, which was the Worldeater Matriach, these creatures were usually so powerful and troublesome to deal with that even the strongest Principal Worlds with all of their Transcendents would find it troublesome to deal with them.
Samiel knew that once the Matriarch got her hands on the Transcendent of any path, she could devise special methods of combating the Transcendents and with their skills and abilities in the area of Souls, they were even able to slay some Transcendents as peak Holies.
And the moment Samiel touched the Worldeater Egg, he basically bound himself to the Worldeater. The Worldeaters were species that were probably as old as his Patron God; they existed like the Outer Gods... born directly from the Void itself.
Their origin was very similar to that of the Azathoth the Great Dreamer, as they were born from the Primordial Essence of the Void, that was the moment when the first Worldeater was born, and due to that, they are often associated with the Eldritch Beings.
However, that assumption is inherently wrong because the Worldeaters don't have an Eldritch Origin, as they are pure beings of the most primal Void.
Samiel knew that this was probably the best means of unleashing the Apocalypse on this World; if he managed to cultivate the Worldeater Broodmother to the Legendary Level, he would have on his hand an Apocalyptic Being.
On the other hand, he was also aware that the presence of the Worldeater Broodmother represented a great deal of danger to him, but at the same time, he decided that it wasn't that much of a problem.
The Worldeater Broodmother wasn't considered as one of the most dangerous lifeforms across the Cosmos for now; even now, there exist a few Worldeater Matriarchs that are even more frightening than several Outer Gods put together.
In the end, the situation couldn't be really worse for him than it already was, and it wasn't like the Worldeater Broodmother would be traveling with him everywhere where he went. The Worldeater Broodmother would be left in this world for a long time until he needed her help with something else.
For some time, he was looking at the Worldeater Egg that was pulsating with enormous power, assimilating Samiel's Mana and part of the Soul. He sensed that the connection between their Souls was established and stood strong and firm.
He knew that it would take some time for the Worldeater Broodmother to hatch because it needed to assimilate all of the things that it obtained from Samiel. The most usual way of the Worldeaters of hatching was through bonding with someone.
And nobody was better than either another Broodmother or the beings of Void; this was because of the similar origin between the two of them.
The Worldeater Broodmothers either sought another Worldeaters to bond themselves with, or they searched for powerful Eldritch Creatures and Outer Gods. For the Worldeater Egg, Samiel Zentaur, as Principality Eldritch Angel, was the best choice for the bonded person.
"It should take a few days at this tempo for the Worldeater Egg to hatch..."
Samiel muttered as he decided to stay here within the ruins of the dome until the Worldeater Egg hatched. Actually, this place was relatively suitable for becoming his base until he was ready to explore the rest of the forest and then the rest of the Lower World.
Even though it was in ruins, it was still standing strong and once the Worldeater Broodmother started producing Drones, it could repair the damage done to the underground space and dome.
"Blood."
Having absorbed a piece of Samiel's soul, the larva in the Egg had built a spiritual connection with him, just like the one that he shared with the Nefertari, but this one was even more close.
Its calls were quite feeble, almost as though they were about to fade away. However, that thirst was exceptionally distinct. Samiel was for a moment observing the Egg, in an almost trance-like state, until he woke up and conjured a dagger of the ice through the Winter Ruler.
With one swift movement, he pierced the dagger through his palm as he let blood flow on the Worldeater Egg.
"Blood…"
The Worldeater Egg was still calling out. This was no known language, instead a fluctuation that bombarded his very soul with the request. He decided to simply smear the blood on his hands onto that flawlessly smooth and shiny eggshell.
The moment he did so, all of the blood was consumed; the Worldeater Egg was greedily absorbing all the blood that was leaking from Samiel's hand, but soon enough, it was being healed due to his ridiculous healing factor.
The very moment the Worldeater Egg finished drinking the blood from his pierced hand, something wondrous happened that Samiel didn't really anticipate. The moment the blood was assimilated, the Worldeater Egg also assimilated the remnants of Samiel's Mana and Soul Force.
The Worldeater Egg asked for no more blood or energy because it was already fully satiated.
That single drop was akin to a spark, igniting the fires of its life. A soft click rang out, and a visible crack appeared on the eggshell, soon followed by many more. A sharp blade of darkness eventually made its way out, signifying that the Worldeater Egg had hatched.
The Worldeater Egg has finally hatched.
The eggshell shattered with that blade as the centre, pieces falling to the ground as what seemed like a black insect crawled out from within.
This creature had six limbs like an arthropod, with an exceptionally large abdomen. Two sharp blades were attached to the area near its head, making it look like a comical little ball with a few blades stuck on it.
The creature dived for the remainder of the eggshell the moment it made its way out, chewing it all up in the blink of an eye. It cleared the fragments out thoroughly, leaving nothing behind at all.
It was like a vacuum had sucked everything on the ground away.
The creature then forced itself up, its entire body trembling rapidly as the sticky fluid on its surface was rapidly absorbed within. Its shell gradually grew hard, beginning to sparkle even as its body grew at a visible pace.
The creature was looking at Samiel with its six pairs of eyes, staring at her master for a moment, as it then started looking for a way to communicate with her master, as the Worldeater Broodmother had just been born.
"High-Energy Food..."
Soon enough, the Worldeater Broodmother managed to transmit its intention as Samiel understood what the Worldeater Broodmother wanted and started then feeding the creature with his own Mana.
Because his Mana had properties of the Void and Outer Holiness, it was the most suitable food for the Worldeater Broodmother. Not to mention, his Mana was extremely potent and dense, so it was very rich and powerful for creatures like the Worldeater, the most suitable source...
Even to the visible eye, the Worldeater Broodmother was getting more healthier and stronger, as it didn't have a problem of standing alone as she was absorbing Samiel's Mana at a tremendous pace.
