Ch.103 The Soul of Conquest

Words : 1047 Updated : Sep 23rd, 2025

As soon as the enthralled Eonixians caught sight of what was clearly the Horseman of Conquest, their minds which were already in a fragile state, fractured beyond redemption. Losing all hope of returning to what they used to be. When the creature saw them, it squealed and clicked excitedly before extending its many tentacles in their direction like a baby that had seen its parents carrying food. The enthralled Eonixians saw this and their faces became dopey with silly smiles, rushing to the creature with even greater fervour than before and almost fighting to pick it up. The first one to pick it up was a purple-skinned girl (who must have had red and blue parents) with long black hair, a curvaceous figure and the same singular pink eye with a white heart-shaped pupil that the others around her had. By Eonixian standards, she was a great beauty. The girl held the squealing creature to her face and… got a chunk of it bitten right off. “Hahaha~, it’s so cuuute~” the girl said as she looked at the other citizens around her with a gloating look on her face, proud that she had been the first one to pick up the ‘great one’ and feed it with her flesh. !!! This girl had just had a chunk her cheek bitten off and was smiling with pride… What’s more was that the other citizens around her had clear looks of jealousy, almost seething with rage that they were not in her position. In fact, the only reason that they hadn’t jumped her already was because of the fact that they would rather kill themselves than disturb the ‘great ones’ meal. Utter madness. But the Horseman of Conquest didn’t seem to think so, in fact, all the mouths patterned over its body seemed to be grinning as they voraciously tore chunks of flesh from the smiling Eonixian that only had adoration in her eyes. It was very much obvious that whether or not the girl was healthy before she was enthralled, she was now very much retarded. But was she so far gone that she did not feel a single bit of pain? *Riiiiiip* “nyum nyum nyum” “So cuuute~ please eat every last bit of me, my lord!” …Apparently so. Eventually she had gotten her wish and every last piece of her flesh was devoured, even if she had died long before then. It was quite the terrifying sight. However, what was even more attention dragging was the reaction that Conquest was having to the body it had just consumed. WOOOOSH! A strange energy that had never been seen before was radiating off the creature in billowing waves, causing dust clouds to fly about with its ferocious intensity. There were vaguely familiar Laws that could be sensed from the energy such as the Laws of Lightning, Soul and Corruption, but the energy itself was completely unprecedented. On top of that, the presence of a Soul, which was certainly not there before, could be faintly sensed. It was completely raw and woefully incomplete, but the fact that this being who for some reason did not have a Soul before could begin the creation of one just by eating a single Mortal was preposterous. Was there such a good thing? And another thing to note was that Creature of Conquest had grown a bit bigger and had a slight change in appearance. At this point, it was obvious to see that it had the same ability to derive strength from its food the way Beasts did, and perhaps to an even greater extent. Even if its level of power was barely that of the first Stage of the first Realm… this Creature was utterly dangerous. However, instead of fleeing for safety, the enthralled Eonixians gleefully prostrated themselves in a manner of absolute subservience, singing praises of majesty and godliness, and presenting their lives as nourishment for their lord in hopes that they could become one with it. The Creature of Conquest squealed happily in response, pleased that it had such faithful food donors. But for some reason the Creatures voice was slightly higher in pitch than it was before, even baring a faint smoothness that reminded one of, at the very least a feminine Abomination, if not a female Enlightened being. Could it be that the result of it consuming a female as its first meal, had set the previously unidentified gender of the creature? It was indeed a possibility, but the Creature didn’t seem to be affected and was only excitedly extending its many tentacles that sparked with faint lightning, in all directions, tearing chunks of flesh from everyone around it and gobbling it all down. One might even say that the strange wiggling it was doing was… a happy dance! … The entire series of events was witnessed by Eridel and nothing had escaped his attention. He had managed to reconfigure the Runes within the Magic Shield, preventing it from alerting anyone of Conquest’s arrival and… preventing anyone from leaving, he had also made sure Conquest would arrive in the most optimal location that would give it the best chances of overall success, and he had even disabled all the technology within the city, preventing anyone from recording or calling for help. By the time that it had eaten all of the citizens within the city, it would have a full fledged Soul and all the memories of those that it had devoured, and his inheritance. With this knowledge, it should be able to take care of itself, and avoid situations that would drag the attention of the entire World until it was ready. Nothing had escaped Eridel’s calculations. The only thing that remained unpredictable was the final showdown between Conquest and those 30 or so Realm 5 Beings. But Eridel was sure that when Conquest began using its Laws of Corruption to convert the Eonixians into otherworldly mutated beings that could cultivate, and consequently promoting the World into a Mid World, it would have achieved its final step as just a Creature of Conquest, and take the next step as the true Horseman of Conquest. The god of Conquest. Or rather… The Evil god of Conquest. By that time, what was a mere 5th Realm Being?
