However, once you cross over, those top-tier worlds will show their hideous faces, eager to shatter you.

—I'm talking about you, Bottomless Abyss!

Filthy things that don't play by the rules! Ambushing young serpents!

Yet after scrutinizing for ages, I didn't detect anything amiss with that world, only sensed that the world I targeted, the "crunchy" elves, was about to merge with that world.

How could I endure this?

I had to act!

Years of experience made me pause cautiously at first, launching a probing attack to test the strength and number of the adversary's powerhouses.

A being known as the God of Growth and Forest Bell directly came to block me.

After some probing, I couldn't hold back anymore.

Weak!

It seems fate still favors me.

The opponent is strong, but much softer than the tough Vestis.

After a furious assault, the opponent suffered heavy casualties.

There's nothing left to say, it's time for a feast!

I launched an attack without hesitation.

After multiple attacks, my opponent fell into a semi-mad state.

The shattered Divine Kingdom grew smaller and smaller, and just as I was about to dive in for a fierce taste, I panicked upon discovering filth inside that kingdom!

Damned Abyss, sending demons again.

Without a word, I abandoned the tempting prospect.

I refuse to engage the opponent head-on.

If it ends up like countless years ago, fighting them for ten thousand years, it would be a huge loss.

Enough, enough, I came here to find that crunchy group!

If I can't burrow in from this side, I'll find another way elsewhere.

Decisively, I set my sights on another entrance.

That entrance connects to a realm full of undead.

I hate eating moldy food!

Might as well flip over the low-rated platter.

I charged into that cursed world of the undead without hesitation, causing chaos until the opponent wanted to escape that world, before happily deciding to seek the "crunchy" within.

At first, upon entering the world's interior, I didn't sense anything problematic...

With a hardened heart, having come this far, stopping was impossible.

So I pressed on, forcibly.

With a bang, I finally sensed entering a new territory never explored before.

But in the next instant, I felt something was off.

"Not good! Old tricks again!"

I was both startled and angry.

This is the Main Material World, which forgoes strengthening tribe limits and specializes in terrifying world rules.

No wonder the opponent can disguise as an ordinary world, hiding among countless world clusters.

I've been tricked!

During the battle with the God of Growth and Forest, I had only felt this world was large but had a combined combat capability far below that damned Abyss.

But when I came inside, I discovered it wasn't just a victimized white lotus but a black-hearted lotus ready to lash out and trap others.

The problem is I just couldn't resist, coveting their world, acting in a base manner.

Entering was easy, leaving is difficult.

As I emerged from a land called Monet Kingdom, I felt my greatness, along with my power, begin cascading down.

LV65↓

LV60↓

LV55↓

LV50↓

LV45↓

LV40↓

...

Within a few breaths, my power decline reached unimaginable levels.

Even when I was born, I had a life level of LV40.

Yet merely entering the Main Material World had me returning all my long-built accumulation. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Unprecedented weakness enveloped me, completely removing the possibility of leaving this world.

With my restricted profession level, if the Star Will isn't willing to let me leave, I have no means to truly breach its crystal wall.

I realized in horror I was imprisoned, possibly being devoured completely.

In blind rage, I began seeking weak spots around the world.

I hoped my luck might accidentally tear through one, allowing an irresponsible escape.

As for the loss to that damned Star Will?

Do you think I'd take responsibility?

Sneak out quickly!

If I weren't reluctant to abandon my finely honed and powerful body, escaping the world as a soul alone would be quite easy.

However, before I found a way to escape, a group calling themselves Jade Phoenix Mages suddenly appeared.

Yelling about friendship, bonds, and future, they rushed at me, mercilessly beating me, paying a steep price to imprison me.

Extreme anger made me... fierce anger lasted for thousands of years.

But there's no choice.

I later found out that those who attacked me were actually incarnations of the world will.

Their power, blessed by this world, becomes ridiculously enhanced when battling external forces.

Fighting them is like fighting the world itself.

I was furious.

Why is it always me who has to suffer?

So one day, when another filthy creature contacted me and asked if I was willing to pay some price to gain the possibility of escaping freely.

I sneered.

I knew that upright ape was just a pawn sent by the filthy thing.

Could such an existence really help me?

If the filthy thing came personally, then perhaps.

Only filth can resist other filth.

But they offered too much.

They stuffed a world with tens of millions of little delicacies right to my mouth by sacrificing a Demigod.

I was tempted.

Well... it's not like we can't cooperate.

A conspiracy began.

They said it would take some time to lift the binding seal constraining me.

In the coming years, they wanted me to pretend to be weak to fool that group of Jade Phoenix Mages.

I was very angry.

Do such a magnificent being like me need to disguise and deceive?

——I genuinely am weak right now, alright!

After stubbornly arguing for a while, I reluctantly accepted their suggestion of "pretending to be weak."

Anyway, if there's a chance to escape this damned place, at worst I'll think of a way to contact the filthy thing of the stars, pay a little price, and leave.

No matter what the Abyssal Church and the filth behind it have planned, it won't concern me after I break free.

That's what I thought.

But…

Vestis, you filthy little thing, are you trying to screw with me too!

Your grandfather likes to eat vegetarian, but he's not vegetarian!

I'm going to fight you to the end!

Anyway, I've enjoyed eating all these years, now I'm fired up, even if I die, I'm taking down all you filth here.

At that time, I was planning to deal with Vestis first.

But at that moment, I suddenly glanced at the man next to her.

I looked closely.

Goodness, the great sin authority of the abyssal filth.

The shadow authority of another shadowy filth.

And the protection of the Jade Phoenix Mages from the filthy stars.

At least Vestis isn't wielding all, but you, kid, filth *3?

Remembering how Vestis' host always defended that kid, I realized I needed to make the right choice!

I can do without my body!

Watch me soul-pierce and kill you filthy conglomerate!

Amid a roaring sound, I easily entered deep into that kid's soul.

"Hahaha, with so many filthy things liking you, if I kill you, they'd surely be heartbroken!"

"Do you know what it means to be the overlord of the astral realm hehehehehe..."

I intended to kill him with the decisiveness of a soul clash, but I was stunned.

The young man, who had caused me quite some harm, just stood there silently.

The look in his eyes made me uncomfortable, but my instincts told me something was wrong.

When he raised his head, I saw a familiar large sword in his hand.

A holy and extremely violent aura instantly spread from that young man.

I could see with one look that this kid wasn't the real one, no, the presence in the soul's depth wasn't even human!

"Why is there another filthy thing here?!"

I was enraged.

Is this some kind of nemesis conglomerate?

All targeting me, huh?

But here in the soul realm, I am the main soul, and you, a mere avatar, dare to confront me...

Bang!

In the sea of consciousness, that holy presence made its move.

It's the God of Glory and Justice!

Damn!

A terrifying aura instantly clashed with me.

I was shocked and furious.

Wait!

Something's wrong!

"Damn, it's the real thing, I'm not here to kill you, why go all out for a kid?"

The other side remained silent, only the Hero's Sword hummed incessantly.

I realized, the opponent really wanted to kill me here directly.

"Glory, do I still have a chance?"

The young man slashed down with his sword, coldly saying: "Are you kidding?"
