The man that dropped this Dirty bomb onto the streets of New York City resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent bystanders. when interrogated on the reason of this horrifying act of mass murder, he simply replied "It seemed like a fun thing to do in this otherwise dry world of law and order" this is no doubt the words of a true monster and the public has demanded that he is executed by firing squad. join us now today as this occasion will be broadcast for the whole to see. not only to satisify the thirst for revenge of the people but also to serve as a warning to any other monsters considering to follow in this mans footsteps" This was the message that was being broadcast on every single news station in the world. all due to one mans boredom and dedication to entertaining his sick way of fun. This man was Praedo. he used to have the last name of Darabi, but the government stripped that away along with his penis as a way to dehumanize him before his execution. right now Praedo was held on an island surrounded by warships and patrolling aerial drones. He was sitting on his butt staring at the hundreds of soldier that were surrounding his glass cage, these soldiers all had someone they had lost due to him and he knew it. he could see their smoldering hate and their struggle not to shoot through the cage. thinking back on that insane fireball of death that he had caused made him giggle, that was simply too much fun! not only did he kill millions with that stunt, but he also caused millions of family and friends of his victims to go insane and some of them even committed suicide. those who were still alive struggled with depression and PTSD. not to mention the Radioactive fallout that will no doubt kill millions of other residents living around the area. "it doesn¡ät even matter that I die today, because even after death millions of others will still die in the years to come because of my handiwork!" Praedo couldn''t suppress the ecstasy he felt just thinking about this, The soldier''s faces turned even grimmer seeing the figure in the cage, he was stripped naked with a gory scene between his legs. he was covered in burns, bruises, and cuts after the torture he has gone through. but even after all that he still managed to look unfazed and even giggled from time to time with the expression a kid would wear on his birthday.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. This truly enraged them but also thoroughly terrified them, this man in front of them, no... this Monster was unbreakable. Soon an entourage of men in decorative uniforms followed by cameras entered the facility. they proceeded to walk unhindered through the sea of soldiers and soon arrived in front of the cage. The young man in the cage looked up at them with a big smile on his face, "is it time for me to go night night?" he asked with genuine eagerness in his voice. one of the men in uniform stepped forward "You will die today you foul creature, if it wasn''t for the insane bloodlust from the citizens we would have kept you alive, although barely for years and let you pay back the victims scream by scream." he spat on the cage as he glared down the Monster responsible for the death of millions of Americans. Praedo smiled as he got up with a grunt, he walked towards the cage and smiled as he grabbed onto the grotesque wound between his legs, smearing his hand with his own blood and pus. he raised his hand towards the glass and drew a smiley face. "Big man shouldn''t be acting so mad, you should smile instead!" The entourage almost vomited at this grotesque insanity, one of the men in the lead gagged and said "let us just get this over with, I can''t stand this disgusting thing any more than I have to" the others nodded and the cage opened, Two burly soldiers immediately entered and grabbed onto Praedo, pulling him out and taking great care to do so as violently as possible. they proceeded to drag him while the whole entourage of Soldiers, Generals and cameramen followed behind. Outside of the facility laid a metal pole, it was rather thick and had several long and thin metal spikes on the surface. Praedo was led towards it, of course, giggling the whole way. as the entourage arrived, the two burly soldiers lifted praedo up and pressed him against this spiky metal pole. taking great care and making sure he wasn''t impaled anywhere lethal. After that cameras were placed facing Praedo, and the whole island was evacuated. after 5 minutes, the whole island was abandoned, except for the impaled Praedo. Praedo who was still bleeding, firmly stuck on the wooden pole was smiling as only one thought ran through his mind "I wonder what fun way they are going to execute me with?" Well, the answer was relatively simple, They were going to bomb this island with everything from cyanide rain to napalm then finally nuke it. let''s just say that the state was pretty salty against dear Praedo! Billions of people watched as the cyanide rained from the sky like beautiful green rain, then the proceeded to watch the firery fires from the napalm and finally they watched as the nightmare of almost everyone was obliterated by the nuke. Chapter 1 I might have fucked up... POV: The Creator "Deus" A humongous figure was standing upon. a massive ship of some strange design. his shoulders slumped and head looking down upon thousands of small specks of light. Those small specks of light were actually Different Universes the humongous figure had created up through his youth. oh and as for that figure? well, that''s actually Deus. He was never known by the public as he created several deities that were going to be his representations in their select worlds. Sadly, most of this deities have died due to war and age. so now these worlds had gone a completely different way than what Deus had intended and dreamed of. Deus was truly saddened and disappointed upon his creation, for example, his first planet "earth" he had created Humans that were going to be the embodiment of chaos and despair. he meant for them to become the necessary evil of his creation. but now they have waged war on consciousness. they have banned all the medicinal plants that were meant to awaken their potential and latent talent... "truly, after all the different kinds of deities I''ve tried. ranging from animal gods for those smart sand folk to the "one true god" for that Jesus dude. man was he fun to smoke with!" loud laughter ring out on the ship as Deus remembered his dear friend Jesus that got so high and landed in an extreme case of delusional psychosis and claimed to be the son of God.and well as the True Creator, of course, I granted him his wish for his own religion. shame that he left the planet after he got crucified. "I just wish anyone could be born with my exact opposite soul type..." sighing again, Deus returned to his mellow state. you see as the True Creator, he is unable to destroy his own creation as that would defy the very laws his stupid younger self-had created all those millions of years ago. and now he was stuck with these wrongly evolved universes that truly plagued his eyes every time he watched them. Deus started slowly walking into the hull and saw the large crystal that he himself was born from. there were two colors blended previously, White and Black. it is the birther of The Creator and The Destroyer. Recalling the moment of his birth when a voice had given him the instructions to create and wait for his brother "The Destroyer" to be born. "Woah! you are one big motherfucker aren''t you?" a playful voice suddenly exclaimed from the crystal, Deus took two steps back, clearly shaken as he stared into two swirling black eyes that manifested in the depths of the crystal.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. "A-are you my brother? have you finally been born?" Deus shakily asked, "Huh, I don''t really know what you mean born? I just got killed in a pretty grandiose way if I may say so myself! so I doubt this is me being born, well this may be rebirth?" Deus stared intently at the crystal and slowly walked towards it, laying his hand on top of it and closing his eyes, he felt the feeling he felt all those Eras ago. that magnificent all-powerful presence snuck into his head as a voice resounded into his very being " This is Praedo, The Destroyer. He has lived through thousands of lives to strengthen his soul unconsciously by spreading horror and despair in whatever world he goes to. he doesn''t have the recollection of anything and simply lives to destroy and have fun. I have created his body and power but as it is too powerful for the current him he will have to gather massive amounts of despair energy to unlock the full potential of both his power and body." as the voice resounded in Deus, The Black Crystal cracked into several pieces, revealing a three meter tall man laying on the floor, he had Intense silver hair and a physique that was the perfect killing instrument. as Deus watched on, still shellshocked by this sudden revelation. The man on the floor got up, revealing his lean body, that seemed as if it was sculpted in the honor of a death god. It was 3 meters tall and wasn''t a buff body but rather a dense muscular body that screamed agile but insanely strong. Deus started focusing on the man''s face and saw those swirling black eyes of the abyss staring him straight in the eyes. the man''s face was like a sculpted masterpiece and even made Deus feel inferior, but one thing that made Deus really shudder wasn''t just his brother¡äs swirling black eyes, nor the sharp grin that showed of all the brutality in the world. No, what really made Deus shudder was the Golden tendrils of despair and corruption that enveloped his brother''s entire soul realm. this was something Deus had never seen before and as he glanced at the man in front of him as he saw that sharp grin open up and heard the words "Hey I''m Praedo, I just heard that my power is sort of like the Symbiotes from Venom? ya basically Translated into "Stupid earth language" as the Voice in my head referred to it, I have an entirely new species that consists of Beings like Venom from that stupid movie and that I myself, have multiple Transformations that I can unlock by devouring massive amounts of energy. oh yeah, and I gain one of these species as my slave for every being I kill! sooooo the voice granted me one chance for it to help me kill and absorb one being, and im reaally reaaaallly sorry to say this big bro! but I chose you " As the words rolled off Praedo¡äs tongue, Deus felt an enormous pressure on his very being. as the creator of everything he had never ever felt danger let alone had a threat to his life. but as he flexed his powers he found that he couldn''t do anything against this insanely strong power crushing down on him. the last thought that ran through Deus brain was the regret of having wished for this brother of his to arrive at all "sigh... I might have fucked up" those were the last words of the once supreme being of this multiverse. Chapter 2 The Ultimate Being Praedo stared down his supposed brother as Deus withered into black dust and entered Praedo¡äs chest. "Hehe, well what now Daddy?" Praedor asked the entity with a giggle, as for being scared or confused, fuck that! he was incomparably excited! if this really was the truth, then his only purpose was to have fun! "Praedo, you were The Destroyer but as you now have consumed The Creator, you have evolved into The ultimate being with the powers of both Creation and Destruction. this means your Entities can be modified simpler by you now in the start. but remember, you only have access to a fraction of your true strength as your soul and body can''t possibly hold all your power." the entity answered with a hint of anticipation in his voice. this Praedo had immediately asked for the man in front of him without knowing he was the creator for the sole purpose of watching this big man suffer in front of him! he was truly a ruthless sadist. and as for when he found out that the entity that he had consumed was the creator and his own brother? he was even more excited and satisfied... Praedo smiled then continued to ask "how do I get stronger? whats the limit of my Entities? what do with the planet?" the entity was pleased with his questions and swiftly replied "you get stronger by consuming Corruption energy into a Symbol of your power, which we can get back to, you have absolutely no limit to your entities. they are created through the available space after another being has been killed by either you or your entities. you can have billions upon billions of them and you can merge them together to create more powerful beings that you can modify into whatever you want. for example, you could have 1000 entities that each has the strength of 10 men each, which is the basic and least powerful of the entities. or you can merge those 1000 entities into one entity that has the strength of 10 000 men. as for what your goal with the planet is? you must kill every being on the planet and convert them into your entities, then you have to cover the entire planet with your entities and use their bodies to refine the planet into a Corruption Star, then consume said star which will unlock 1% more of your true strength. remember, you have to create your symbol of power by infusing the essence of Deus onto your Spine and twirl the essence through your very being and finally create a visible symbol on a part of your body" Praedo nodded and proceeded to close his eyes and will Deus¡äs essence through his spine, then through every inch of his body then finally through his soul. he then proceeded to envision his Visible Symbol of power and grinned as he recalled his favorite symbol. He started drawing the symbol on his hands with his own essence combined with what he had taken from Deus and drew a profound symbol, a symbol that transcends common logic and the laws of the universe. he drew a smiley face! Praedo opened his eyes proud of his achievement and lifted his hand to see his handiwork, only to see that his smiley face had morphed into the most terrifying smiley face that was hyper-realistic with black tendrils surrounding it and anguished crying face emojis underneath it that were all being consumed by the tendrils. it looked like a live photo loop where the crying face emojis constantly were being consumed and the sinister smiley face was getting stronger and stronger until suddenly a large unique symbol resembling a P emerged over the smiley face.

Praedo was stunned ad he stared at that cruel scene that was playing on his hand when the Powerful entity from before spoke in his mind "I see, your mark is of consumption and destruction. this mark will get more and more profound the more Corruption energy you consume. it may even evolve into something else that will increase your strength in the future. Now that that''s over, I will open up a portal to earth for you. remember, earth is the least significant world of them all." Praedo grinned and nodded as he walked towards the Edge of the ship and jumped off the grid, The entity panicked as he meant to open a portal in front of him and now that Praedo had jumped off into the Void he had to quickly consume almost 25% of his power only to rip him back up from the terrifying grasp of the void. "YOU FUCKING IDIOT! EVEN I STRUGGLE IN THAT TERRIFYING VOID AND YOU JUST JUMP OF FOR NO FUCKING REASON!" the entity raged as he stared at the sheepish Praedo. "It seemed cool..." Praedo muttered as he couldn''t help the grin on his face becoming wider, the entity sighed as he just directly teleported the lunatic back to earth as he started deeling pity for earth, this fucking lunatic wouldnt do things swift and easy for sure... __________________________________________________________________ Back on earth, in a small village in eastern China. two small children were playing around in the creek next to the village as they heard a loud boom next to them, of course as young curious children, they walked up to investigate. what they saw upon reaching the crater stunned them "Big brother! is that a giant?" the little girl asked as she clutched the older boys arm. "I... I don''t know little ming, I have never seen such a big man! and he has such pretty silver hair!" the older boy exclaimed nervously and slowly approached the man for a closer look. as he was merely a meter away from the man, The two children saw that the man''s eyes suddenly opened and they froze as they saw the swirling darkness in them. what followed horrified them to their very core. because the man''s hand which had some sort of tattoo on it started exuding some type of Golden tendrils from his pores which covered his entire hand, then arm, then eventually his whole bad. showing a creature standing at about five meters tall, with an insanely strong looking body and a face looking like something out of a nightmare, the creature smiled revealing rows of insanely sharp looking teeth. "Seems like i can see what my Entities look like hehe" the creature giggled in a powerful dark voice. he jumped out of the crater landing with one leg each on the childrens faces. he looked down on their muched heads and complained "fuck that was too quick!" as he said that the bodies of the two children got sucked into the golden exterior og Praedo and corrupted their life force. he spat out two wrigling messes of black goo, which started forming up to reveal a similiar appearance to Praedo only completely ink black and only standing two meter long with a mouthful of sharp teeth and long grotesque looking tongues. Praedo looked down upon his own personal race and smiled "yeah that¡äs baddass hahahahah, hmmm this minion race of mine will need a name...." as he observed these minions of his which only exist to obey his will he smiled as he came up yo them and said "form now on you¡äre race name shall be Enforcers, as you shall enforce my will on the multiverse!" Chapter 3 Harvesters Praedo walked past the creek followed by his two Enforcers, he needed to find more people so he could grow his little army. as for taking over the world? he would take his sweet sweet time with it. Praedo was still in his Cruel form as he named it, he was walking leisurely with a spring in his step. if anyone saw this 5-meter tall golden monster skipping on his way to slaughter a village followed by two horrifying black Enforcers. they would surely think that a golden venom and two symbioses were coming to invade their planet. sadly they weren''t wrong as these beings actually were here to destroy the earth. Praedo noticed that he was significantly stronger in his Cruel form, he felt energized and full of vitality and strength. he didn''t feel that hunger, displayed in the movie. so obviously there were some major differences between those symbiotes and his symbiotes and cruel form. as he was pondering upon his newfound abilities, he had reached a banana field. upon seeing these green banana clusters hanging up in the trees, he screamed! Bananas were his absolute weakness! Banana mil while watching a man being eaten alive by dogs was one of his most relaxing activities! Without thinking, he boosted off the ground and leaped almost ten meters forward and climbed the banana tree in one swift drag and lunge. His two enforcers were silently staring at their overlord acting like a monkey eating bananas in the tree, it only took them a couple of seconds to feel their lord''s intense desire against these bananas. They immediately sprung into action and scaled the remaining trees and started collecting bananas for their lord. it didn''t take long before the villagers discovered the creatures high up in the trees, but due to the low visibility they couldn''t completely make out their figures and misinterpreted them as monkeys. they got enraged and quickly 20 villagers surrounded the trees with rifles and nets to capture these thieving monkeys. "they dare eat our Fruit! we shall eat them for supper as punishment!" one of the men yelled and aimed his rifle up at one of the black "monkeys" *BANG!* *BANG!* Two shots quickly fired from his rifle, quickly ripping through the foliage and hitting the black mass, *ROOOOOOOAAAAR" a terrifying roar was their response, the Enforcer had been shot through his chest but it had basically no effect on him as the holes quickly reformed. he sent his request to attack through the link to Praedo.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Their Lord Praedo was busy stuffing his face with bananas and simply sent his intention for the Enforcer to go for it. The Enforcer didn''t waste any time as he jumped off the top of the banana tree and lunged at the enraged villagers. The other Enforcer also joined in and used the tree to propel himself towards the villagers. Said villagers only saw two black blurs speeding towards them, the two Enforcers quickly slammed into a cluster of villagers, killing two by landing on them and then grabbing onto two more each and crushing their skulls. The villagers were absolutely horrified as these two Enforcers wiped through them like they were wheat ready for harvest. The Enforcers killed them by the cruelest methods, they ripped villagers in two, bit heads off, and even used one unfortunate soul as a weapon by grabbing his leg and using him as a club to kill the remaining villagers. It was all over in under a minute, the area underneath the banana tree where cruel was still eating his fill of bananas while watching, was dyed red with blood and organs. there were arms, leg, heads and mutilated bodies littered around. "That could be really good Fertilizer for these bananas, too bad they will be used to create more Enforcers" Praedo thought as he finished his last banana, jumping down landing onto a headless corpse. Golden Tendrils quickly flashed out of his arms and back and quickly consumed all the organs, limbs and corpses laying around. Swiftly 20 more blobs of black goo shot out of Praedo and manifested into Enforcers. Pradeo grinned as he looked towards the shabby buildings that made up the village "There were only men here, so there must be women and children in there hahaha" he laughed out loud as he started walking towards the village followed by his 22 Enforcers. As he guessed, there were 13 women and 9 children hiding in these shabby buildings. Praedo and his Enforcers showed no mercy and slaughtered them all. quickly adding another 22 Enforcers to his Forces, he now had a total of 44 Ferocious Enforcers standing behind him. "hehe hehe, this is awesome! lets quickly harvest the rest of the surrounding villages and head to a bigger city!" just thinking of how many more Enforcers he would get then made him shudder with excitement. They used about 4 hours traveling from village to village, slaughtering their population and quickly making his ranks bigger and bigger. Praedo was now standing on a rock looking out at his sizable army of 500 Enforcers. "This might be a little impractical for now... Wait didn''t that Entity say that I could merge them?" Quickly recalling what the Entity had said, Praedo sent his intention to his Enforcers. they quickly realized his wish and started transforming into black blobs and merging together. soon instead of the five hundred black Enforcers, only five Entities standing 3 meters tall were standing in front of Praedo. They were slightly lighter in their skin, almost grey but still black. they looked almost the same except for their ferocious Claws, they had five on each hand and on their legs. thee claws themselves were solid 15 centimeters long each. Looking at these entities made Praedo¡äs Creepy meter reach satisfactory levels, he quickly mentally named them "Harvesters" and started to run towards a city named Ping, the city had a population of 7000. but there were mostly beggars and some farmers. so it served as a perfect place to test out his new Harvesters! Chapter 4 Dont worry 鈥瞓out us, we just Harvesting It was getting dark in the small city of Ping, all the citizen started towards their homes. which mostly consisted of large common tents. They started their nightly routines of heroin and the drug dealers started wandering from tent to tent with peoples merchandise. one of these dealer¡äs name was Conrad, he was known for being a Conman and really good at it. he would sell his dope really cheap. but he would lace it to the extreme, making sure his victims died, he would then proceed to rob them. the only reason this worked was that no one really knew what he really looked like, as he would always change his appearance after each successful con. He was known as the Con Ghost. Tonight Conrad was preparing to sell to a lady named Ling, he has had his eyes on here for a while, but she has always refused any and all advances of his. so his nefarious mind planned to drug her to death, then rape her corpse before taking all her valuables. He was rather satisfied with his plan and walked towards her tent with a spring in his step. the only thing that annoyed him was that her tent was close to the wood-line and there was almost always a lot of animal feces next to it. so as he was nearing the tent, he started to plug his nose with some rags. he proceeded to carefully step over the feces and maneuver towards the tent. he finally reached the cloth wall and snicker to himself as he felt his pants tighten due to his growing horn. he was ready to fuck this bitch that always acted too good for him. "let¡äs see how your dead pussy feels. hahaha, I shall be your first and last!" As he grabbed the knife on his waist and proceeded to carefully slice a peek hole to check if she was alone, what he saw wasn''t Ling or anybody else, he instead saw the earthen floor dyed red, Conrad quickly pulled back in fright. he started to look around for any suspects. as he properly looked at the other common tents, he only saw rips and blood everywhere, he hadn''t seen this as he tried to avoid the other tents to not get caught. he turned around to run into the woods, only to slam against a tall figure, Conrad was terrified as he looked up at a three-meter tall greyish-figure staring down on him with an ear to ear grin. The figure was clearly not human as its body consisted of what seemed like endless tendrils that were in constant motion. Conrad slowly looked down only to see the most vicious claws he had ever seen. the thing had five 15 centimeterclaws on each hand, its legs also had the claws that now were deeply buried in the earth. Conrad¡äs heart almost blew up from the fright alone, and his previously stiff horn was no leaking foul liquid. "hehe, you''re the last one so I bet master wouldn''t mind if I had some fun with you!"Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. a voice almost sounding like a growl came out of that foul mouth, Conrad stared at its mouth in fright as he couldn¡ät comprehend how words could come out of that open mouth with rows upon rows with vicious teeth. "what-what are you!" Conrad scream as he tried to back away with shaking legs, A strange growling came out of the beast, almost sounding like laughter "I''m one of the master¡äs Harvesters of course! and now I''m your playmate!" the Harvester raised its hand, pointing two claws at Conrad with a cruel grin on its face. "You got a leak! let me help fix that!" The Harvester then leaped forward cutting Conrad between his legs with his two claws, leaving a horrible gash between Condrads legs *thud* a small brown piece of meat fell onto the ground as Conrad started screaming "hohoh now you¡äre leaking even more! wow, and you¡äre really loud... Let''s kill two birds with one stone!" The harvester had saliva dripping down its jaw as it forced open Conrad''s mouth and ripping out his tongue, then proceeded to stuff the tongue deep into the gash between Conrad¡äs legs. *gurgle* Conrad continued screaming but all that came out was the gurgling if him choking on his own blood. the Harvester saw this and snickered as he gently caressed Conrad''s face. he took one finger and started from his temple and went down to his ear then proceeded down his jawline, following it until he had reached the spot he had started at. "time for the grand finale" it muttered as he grabbed hold of the cut he had cut around Conrad¡äs face, and ripped his face off. The harvester let go of Conrad watch as the con slowly died on the floor, his mouth dripping blood and his face a much of red muscle tissue. As Conrad finally died in a puddle of his own blood and urine with his face and horn next to him, the Harvester smiled as black smoke rose out of Conrad¡äs glabella. This was Despair Essence, the Harvesters collected this for their master to consume. Said Harvester smiled as he darted towards the city center to meet up with his master and brethren. Praedo himself was sitting on the floor giggling in his human form, he had a great harvest this time! his 50 harvesters had collected enough Despair Essence for him to figure out he could use this essence to strengthen his body and even use it to boost his bodies strength and speed in short moments, he could even detach a tendril from his body now and use it as a projectile under the control of his Despair Essence. He couldn''t stop giggling at the amount of fun he was having! in front of him stood his 50 harvesters as well as 7000 Enforcers. he was pondering about how he should deal with this massive amount of forces. Maybe he should further merge them? but the Harvesters were so useful! let''s have 100 Enforcers and then convert the rest of them into harvesters. Sensing their master¡äs desire, the Enforcers quickly started merging leaving 100 enforcers and 119 Harvesters. Praedo frowned as this was still too many forces to travel with ease with. lets 100 harvesters and see what becomes of it! The Harvesters again sensed their master¡äs wish and quickly merged, leaving 19 harvesters, 100 enforcers and finally a completely grey creature standing at a solid 3,5 meters tall, it had a mostly human shaped body with a lurched back and a ginormous grin on its face. Praedo stared at it with satisfaction when he noticed the creature had a tail as well, looking further on it he noticed the end of the tail was a large round blade! He absolutely loved this creature! Again looking at this creature that had the strength, speed, and durability of 10 000 Enforcers, he felt truly excited to bring this on a spin! "Look at that cute face of yours! hahaha, you shall be named Smiley!" The creature continued smiling and responded "I''m ready to make the world smile to you master" as the words came out, the Smiley¡äs tail swiftly struck in a curve in the air. when Praedo saw this he grinned as he thought, "I got myself a little joker!" as he immediately realized that the smiley didn''t mean to make people happy but make a permanent smile on their faces... Chapter 5 Cute Kitty Cats raedoPraedo now had three ranks under him, he had the enforcers that were mainly focused on pure brutal combat and now seemed like a good choice for cannon fodder when he was going to proper war with the world. Then there were the dear harvesters that supplied him his Despair Essence by torturing their victims as well as killing, even though straight killing their victim swiftly awarded less despair energy than the good old torture way. Praedo looked over his shoulder to the grinning monstrosity that was standing at his side. the smiley hasn''t been tested yet but it must be good! well, it fucking better be as it was the result of ten thousand enforcers... Praedo continued playing with the golden ball in his hands, he had been playing around with molding his own mass since he gained the despair energy. and he has made some discoveries! he could eject about a kilo worth of mass off his body without consequence as the golden tendrils regenerated at a frightening pace. and if he ejected despair energy out of his left hand into the ejected mass, he would have something akin to telekinesis! as he could control the ejected essence and make it fuse with the ejected mass. making the ball of golden tendrils into something akin to an extra limb. the only thing he hadn''t tested was the potential range and damage he could do with this, thinking this far, Praedo turned around and looked at a Harvester in the distance, the minion was standing about 100 meters away keeping guard. The golden wriggling ball floated slowly up above Praedo¡äs head, then boosted towards the Harvester so fast that a small sonic boom blasted out behind it, as the golden blur almost teleported from Praedo¡äs hand to the head of the harvester, then slammed into the Harvester, blasting it to a black mist. upon seeing this Praedo smiled in satisfaction, then willed the ball to transform into a wriggling mess of tendrils and absorb the remains of the harvester. When the energy of the harvester entered the tendrils, Praedo noticed a rush of strength from His symbol of power, he lifted his hand up to his face, studying the smiley absorbing the crying face emojis, and he noticed that the tendrils in the background were slightly more vivid. "Seems like I just found a new way to power" Praedo was overjoyed as this also solved his issue of the early army! he immediately willed every single minion of his except 10 harvesters and the smiley to come to him. needless to say, he brutally killed them all, leaving 10 harvesters and his smiley alive while he was absorbing the Despair essence from his now late minions. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. looking down at his symbol of power tattoo, the tendrils had grown about 3 shades blacker and had grown from his palm up to his wrist, coiling like an intricate bracelet, "well that looks tough, but what is my benefit now?" he started to inspect everything about his body but couldn''t seem to find what was different except for the initial rush of strength. The smiley observed his master¡äs antic¡äs then advised with the everlasting grin on his face "Maybe master needs to check his current true form instead of the human form?" *Facepalm* Praedo looked over at smiley with a grateful expression while blood covered his entire face due to his now Voldemort nose and cracked cheekbones. The golden tendrils sprouted out of his symbol of power and quickly enveloped his entire body as he started growing, but instead of stopping at his normal 5 meters, he went past it and soared to a pleasant 5,5. it doesn''t sound like much but Praedo was pretty happy with it. He then proceeded to test his strength by grabbing onto the nearest Harvester¡äs head, then proceeded to gently lift it up to eye level, or at least that''s what he tried to do as the head sure as fuck got to eye level, but the Harvesters body slumped down onto the ground. "Well holy fuck! I''m strong as shit!" Praedo started giggling out of control and opened his mouth, eating the head of the harvester as his leg stomped the rest of its body to mist, then consumed that as well. "Time to have some personal fun!" Praedo simply stomped the ground and shot off in the distance, leaving behind a crater as well as his minions. "Master sure is excited " Smiley snickered as he boosted after him followed by the remaining Harvesters. Praedo swiftly arrived at the neighboring town, he smiled as he slowed down and entered the sleeping town. *ROOOOAAAAR* "Ming! get away!" as soon as Praedo entered he witnessed a group of tigers slaughtering the helpless town people, there were already a ton of dismembered limbs and intestines laying spread all around the city. "Awh, there are cute kittens here!" Praedo giggled as he started walking towards the most focused group of Tigers. everything from the screaming and the roaring stopped up, as a 5,5-meter tall golden monster approached them. The Tigers were horrified as their most primal instincts were screaming at them to run away but they were frozen stiff, the surrounding humans were even more frightened as what was casually walking up to them looked like a monster from their worst nightmare, then the monster opened its mouth while staring adoringly at the tigers "Look at all those cute kitty cats! are they your¡äs? let me pet them! can I pretty pwease pet the kitties???" the villagers were shocked, this terrifying monster wanted to pet tigers? could he be mentally retarded? as the villagers were pondering in their hearts, Praedo started walking towards the terrified tigers, he swiftly picked one up and started cooing at it in a baby voice... "you are such a cute kitty! yes you are! oh yes you are!" the villagers got even more horrified as the monster had squished the tiger to death, and was now cuddling its mushed corpse... Something happened....

Me and my family are mourning and arranging his funeral and memorial, and my family are adopting his two daughters as he was a single father and we dont want them in the system.
