Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

For those monsters that were not gods, the smaller ones may not be weak, but the larger ones were certainly strong. And the one before her was destined to be the strongest of them all.

"The Divine King is the nominal master of everything in the world, and he is also your enemy,"

Gazing at her own creation, Gaia slowly began to speak, her tone rising slightly.

"And you, you must topple the Divine King to the ground and snatch everything that belongs to him into your hands!"

"..."

Booming---

The loud noise continued, and the earth finally began to crack open. More and more dragon heads rose from the ground, the cavity that existed underground should have collapsed, but instead, it was propped open by the behemoth.

It did not ask another question as if it had already learned everything it wanted to know. Red mist floated among Typhon’s heads like a barrier that encircled it.

"What you mean is—"

"—I understand..."

"Understand..."

"Got it..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"It..."

"..."

In unison, yet mixing with each other, different in pitch, identical in tone.

When the hundredth head emerged from beneath the earth, it was as if Typhon had truly arrived in this world. But while its body was still buried underground, these protruding heads were like icebergs floating on the ocean’s surface.

However, compared to Typhon, Gaia encountered a slight problem. She hadn’t anticipated that it would have such an enormous body, nor had she taken any precautions, causing a large area of strata to be lifted around the cavity she had opened.

The previous surprise at her creation’s power made her overlook this detail, but now a faint pain reminding her of her body told her that if Typhon were to emerge like this, she would certainly be significantly hurt.

"Stop!" Gaia shouted, "Your body is too large. Let me split the strata so you can freely enter and exit—"

Boom

Gaia’s voice was cut off, Typhon paid no heed to her. As if tired of the crowded heads, the hundred-headed dragon serpent lifted its long necks, and flames spewed from its two hundred eyes.

As it moved, the earth fell silent for a moment, then was violently torn apart. The result for Gaia was a series of cuts opening on the surface of her skin.

"You!"

With wide eyes, Gaia hadn’t expected Typhon to ignore her words so disdainfully.

She had many rebellious children before, but none chose to defy her will just after birth... But clearly, the hundred-headed monster didn’t care about her feelings at all.

It simply pulled hard, lifting its body from the strata, and then, with all its might, pushed its heads upwards.

Crack—!

The vast expanse of land was pushed open by it, and the evening sky was exposed to the monster’s gaze.

Seeing the outside world for the first time, Typhon’s eyes flickered with an odd light. The newly-born Demon God seemed to be enamored with the beautiful scene. But the next instant, only brutality and a killing intent remained in its eyes.

It was born for destruction, yes, its lineage told it so. Typhon saw the deity that claimed to have created it follow it out of the ground, glimpsing Gaia’s pale, angry face as if she was trying to say something to it.

It seemed to be something about a ’helper’, ’sneak attack’, ’Zeus’ or the like, but it didn’t care. Despite being injured because of its existence, she still tolerated it and tried to reason with it. Such a being dared to instruct it?

"But she was right about one thing, if the Divine King truly is the master of everything in this world, then I should replace him."

The low voice echoed through the mountains, and the Moon at the end of the West Heaven seemed to hasten its pace out of fright, but Typhon paid no attention to them. It simply raised its hundred heads, declaring its arrival to the world.

"Because I am the sovereign of monsters..." Stay tuned with empire

"I am the King of All Monsters, Typhon!"
