Chapter 1359 Cap 1357: A differentiated tree
Pov Survivor Z:
I was sitting on the street looking up at the sky lamenting the mistakes of my youth, I'm not even that old, but I was a complete idiot.
My family had money and were convinced they could inherit everything by living for fun, my mother tried to correct me when I was a child and I didn't listen, then my father tried to teach me when I was a teenager and I believed I knew more than him.
I had several women who were with me just for the money, I also tried being with men, which didn't work out very well, but I never realized that I had no one by my side who was loyal to me, everyone just wanted the money.
It was after my father died and my mother stole all the money while running away that I realized I had nothing, I didn't know how to do anything either, I didn't have any kind of base to support myself and I fell into the deep end head first.
"What a miserable life, I would really like it all to disappear!"?(I)
It was another night where I complained in my mind with a bottle of beer in my hand like an idiot, I've been doing this for years and yet this last time was unforgettable as my superficial desire would be fulfilled in the worst possible way.
"What's that in the sky? A bird? A monster?"?(I)
I still remember straining my eyes trying to see that spot shining in the sky, the beer inside me didn't help me see better either.
Even so, I had a magical item that I used in my robberies, I used it to look and realized that whoever was at the top was a beautiful woman wearing clothes so thin that they were almost transparent, behind her two membrane wings with large glowing eyes that were the source of the light, I couldn't see the woman's face, but I remember that she had horns and long ears.
"A Demon attack? That's good, I can take advantage of the chaos to steal some good things, and I'll have money to enjoy it for a few months..." (I)
As always being an idiot, I thought it could be an attack from Demons, there was a Demon Country next to ours against whom we were at war for decades, using the magical skills that I learned thanks to at the school where I was forced to study in my childhood, I became a thief.
The desire to steal from those who had more was too strong to resist, as the thief and coward that I always was, I never risked anything that I had no guarantee of escaping, that's how I improved in something as dark as that.
I took advantage of many invasions, wars, and protests to steal, I thought this would be another one of those times and I was already taking a potion to sober up faster thinking about who I could rob.
Boommm!!!
That's when it started with an explosion, the woman in the sky disappeared and soon the screams started, something inside me was telling me to run as fast as possible, a strange presence is everywhere.
The screams got louder and louder and explosion sounds were heard spreading throughout the city as I was running, but I couldn't control myself, my legs kept running without rest and so I dared to look back, all I knew at that time there were the flashes of magic and skills being used behind me as well as the increasingly terrified screams.
I kept running and running until I couldn't feel my legs anymore, it was only at that point that my mind started working again, but I really wish I hadn't been curious back then.
I had managed to run out of the city and for some reason I had climbed one of the two mountains next to the city, so I was on high ground, I could still hear the cries and screams of people who just like me had fled the city, I was curious about what happened and why I was so scared, so I looked at the city I had fled from.
What I saw that day was more than frightening, that thing was the very image of Terror and madness, there was no hope of fighting it, its smile was a mockery of all forms of life.
In the middle of the city, there was something, it looked like an imitation of the body of a colossal woman measuring dozens of meters and growing fast, her intertwined legs staying inside the earth from the knee down with tentacles coming out of the earth around her as it spreads across the city ??destroying everything, its arms were very long with fingers made of sharp bones cutting through the people fighting against it in the sky, but the most disturbing thing was its head which from the nose up split into hundreds of white tree branches that were possibly bones, thousands of leaves were decorating those branches.
For some reason, curiosity was stronger in me that day than repulsion at what I was seeing, as if I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing, maybe that's why I used that friendly item once again to see that thing better.
That's when the fear and terror inside me became madness, tears streaming from my eyes and saliva dripping from my mouth as I was having a fit of maniacal laughter.
What I saw were the tentacles coming out of the ground being covered in girls and teeth, they were devouring people as they spread throughout the city, and even the blood that fell on the tentacles was absorbed, I also realized that the thousands of leaves on the head were eyes.
That thing was smiling as its grotesque form ravaged everything around it, it was growing larger and larger and faster, this was not a Demon or monster, it was something worse, much worse than any nightmare that could exist, there was no chance to fight against it.
All the magic and skills they used against her caused wounds that healed almost instantly, nothing seemed to work against her.
The fire burned his flesh that simply healed, the ice broke unable to freeze his body, the metal could not resist his strength breaking, countless techniques being used and each one more useless than the other against this aberration.
I just drew strength from the fear and madness by running away from that place, I don't even know how long I ran or how far I went before I lost consciousness, someone rescued me and I woke up in another city thinking I would be safe, I didn't I knew at that time that it was just the beginning.
----------------
Time was cruel to anyone unlucky enough to survive, that aberration was so huge that its body could be seen from a distance reaching greater heights than the sky, its arms spanning miles and its tentacles stretching across thousands of miles spreading a forest of flesh, trees with branches of bones, roots of tentacles and leaves of eyes.
Aberrations that mimicked her body like an immortal army, none of those things died, even if they were cut, burned, cursed, or poisoned, they didn't die with anything but the power of the Priests, and even that only delayed the inevitable.
People tried to escape to another continent, but that only took 1 more week before the influence of that thing reached the other continents, there was no place in this world where they could hide and that's why they tried to create vehicles to escape the planet, I myself joined to others to drive one of these vehicles.
As soon as we arrived outside the planet we noticed an endless sea of ??Insects killing everyone and pushing them back to the planet, everyone realized at that moment that there was no way to hide, run away, or fight.
I don't know how many people beg the Gods for salvation, how many Sacrifice Rituals were performed, or how many people committed suicide because they no longer had hope.
-------------------
I'm already in the last place that wasn't taken over on the entire planet, this place was called the Holy Land for some God that I don't care about anymore, it was the place that resisted the most becoming the last line of defense, but even that only lasted 4 days of useless struggle before it was slowly also tamed, for the first time in my life I fought to the last of my strength and I am still here, the last one still alive.
The leads of everything that happened flooding my mind as the flesh on my body twitches, all the injuries caused by this thing seem to cast a curse on the person distorting someone's body turning into monsters, I can feel it happening to me now, I can hear it the whispers in my head.
I reached the top of the temple, seeing the flesh trees and tentacles full of mouths on all sides, even the ground is being swallowed by flesh.
One of these tentacles approached me as it changed shape, when I saw the curves forming a body and its terrifying beauty I realized it was the same silhouette I saw in the sky that night, my heart was racing as the presence of that day now seemed to crush my Soul.
I wanted to run, more smaller tentacles tied my arms and legs while burying themselves inside my body, a repulsive feeling spreading through me, at that moment I regret having been too cowardly to commit suicide.
Her body was completely formed and she was naked, an unparalleled beauty, and yet all I felt was pure terror when she approached me touching my face.
"With this world and its people are part of me now, as the last one who resisted I will at least let you know the name of the one who will soon be your mother, I am Yntra, the Mother of Truth that you will soon be part of."
"..." (I)
I couldn't even speak when the hand that had been touching my face opened into a toothy mouth that swallowed my head, bringing only darkness to me along with the whispers of a million wailing voices that I joined in.
