It wanted to complete itself in a more reasonable manner. One look and the lion knew this monster had more stability among all of the monsters around.
The whole realm appeared dull gray, with occasional colour to dust on the floor and wall.
But then the lion saw a colorful something, a long serpentine creature at another corner similar to his, it was looking at the battlefield.
Everything was dull gray but hunters like them that came from outside appeared to have color on them which also served as a radar.
It only took one monster, an eyeball in an incomplete gorilla head to see the lion and the serpentine creature and the whole monster stopped battling and attacked them.
The lion's body trembled, that too many monsters at a time. It was powerful but not this powerful to take all this.
It turned and ran back and like a flood, the monster followed the two as even the serpentine creature too had the same idea as the lion.
The most solid humanoid master took that opportunity to jump at two legs and crushed them with its hand before they began to dissolve inside its body.
Soon, a cocoon appeared around it like an egg.
Inside was mist of creation, and from the floor, and the ambient atmosphere of the place energy flowed in and the mist became liquid until it filled the egg before at the center something began to form.
The form grew until it filled the egg and began to assimilate ir.
What stood there was human, everything about it was human adult, except for the egg shell that was now dust that glow blue on its body.
It took a deep breath and it opened its eyes.
They are shades of blue with no iris. It also has male genital, as its moves they dangle, which made it grab the glowing dust and slammed them around.
That produced a covering that stops the dangling.
It then ran toward the serpentine creature. It has long seen them but because it has broken away from the collective whole, the collective didn't feel it.
It also sensed that the lion was not one, the only safe action was to go after the serpentine and develop its individuality.
[You have devoured a hand]
[You have devoured a face]
These were the songs that filled the lion's eyes and it loved them.
It has returned into another corridor that the flood of monsters can't push through as a whole.
So, it was able to eat a few at a time and they were delicious. It was something he had never tasted before.
Its stomach also was opening for more of them and growing desire and hunger made it feel it could consume them all the thousands and still need more.
Another thing was they were super weak, no matter how large they were, their punch can't even push the lion.
Their claws and fang break when they claw at the lion. So, it just devoured them as if it was at a picnic.
At another place, three serpentine creatures were having a good time, the monsters they lure were enough for them to handle and devour.
One of them was incredibly intelligent, one look at its eyes you will think it must be a human in beast form.
They were battling and eating when suddenly, something appeared so fast and unexpected and slashed at one of the serpentines.
The serpentine beast coiled around avoiding the claw strike and wrapped around the hand of the newborn humanoid creature and the serpentine went for the kill.
The organ monsters around burst into an array of dust and slammed at the serpentine beast.
The other two serpentine beasts were on the move, each aimed from a different side. Their maw was smoking dark blue smoke that tainted everything it touched.
In inhuman replex, the newborn moved away from them while the dust monsters covered it and formed an armour.
It has miscalculated, the serpentine beast was more dangerous, they seem to have expected its arrival.
The serpentine beast on its arm struck for the second time but the armour around its head provided protection.
However, the hand the serpentine beast was wrapped around was already positioned.
The newborn humanoid has no choice but to discard the hand and jump back into more dust monsters to protect itself.
But the serpentine beasts were relentless, their venom destroyed the dust and its body.
Soon it was overwhelmed, losing its body gradually before it fell and the three serpentine devours.
[You have devoured Newly Born Denizen]
"Quick move." They were about to scatter away when a flash of blue passed through them and the three snakes were all beheaded.
Their dark blue blood splashed out and from it, rose a humanoid and its body coalesced changing and devouring itself until the killed newly born denizen rose from them.
In a different language where humans can't understand a word came from a corner.
"Idiot, you're supposed to find your father!"
"Sorry!" The newly born denizen bowed, not looking up at the speaker.
In another location a small serpentine creature was fading and coming back as it ran away.
"A Father is closeby, it's always a trap!'
It was panicking as it ran far away from the location that the three of its serpent minions were killed.
Soom, it reached a floating bubble and touched it before it escaped.
A woman appeared inside a small compartment, breathed deeply and tried to drink some water.
But it wasn't there for long when something struck the location she was hiding, blood drained from her face as she realized that the Father had found her.
She was a bonafide Tier 3, a Shifter, but she knew only through miracle will she survive this encounter.
Elsewhere, the newly born denizen was covered in a hard armour from its chest, neck, and then its thigh.
Everywhere else is free, that is to connect it with their world and use its power.
It was now running, not toward the lion it saw but to another Battle Birth Ground. The Father there will never harm a newly born denizen and so it will be able to acquire its weapon.
It wasn't long before it reached the place, it was similar to its Birth Ground and it jumped toward them.
Using it arm and leg, it smashed at them, each one destroyed will just become a dust and never return to normal.
From far above, concealed was another Father, it didn't attack but carefully took in the features of the newborn denizen and recognised the Father behind it.
It will allow it, as if the newborn achieved greatness it will have a pie in it too.
In short amounts of time, it had decimated the whole location, and then it raised its hand and applied the strange technique taught by its Father and the dust converged and began to take shape.
The lion was busy, there was no tiredness, which was strange. By now it should have collapsed due to fatigue but was going strong.
The only problem was that hunger was increasing, not decreasing. This was not among what it knew about this realm.
Usually, one easily reached satiety and then it went ahead looking for treasures.
Maybe this strangeness has to do with the Tasks: Devour Everything.
Suddenly, it felt a scent, a delicious scent that was calling for it, its hungry stomach growled, and its mouth began to water.
It immediately smashed through, biting and devouring what was closeby as it made its way outside the corner.
Unfortunately it has to struggle as there are many around.
Against its impatience, it consumed organ monsters gradually as it made its way until it came face to face with the source of scent.
Such delicacy, never has the lion ever heard or seen anything like it.
But one thing the lion knew was that the delicacy was fresh out of the kitchen and it's very hot.
The side sauce was also very spicy and it would burn.
The lion loves spicy food.
And so it pounced forward, the delicacy also moved, sending the spicy burning sauce first. It really wanted to be nimble so badly.
The two clashed and the lion was sent flying back by a few feet.
A line of cut appeared on its face, while the burning spicy sauce took in the blood drops and added it to the recipes making it far more tantalizing than before.
This was in the perception of the lion, but in reality, what it saw was the newborn denizen, holding an axe and spear.
Axe, spear and armour here are the burning spicy sauce while the denizen is the main dish in the lion's eyes.
But one thing was, the same way the lion looked at the denizen, the same way the denizen saw the lion.
A three course meal that has been refined by The Being for 14 minutes. Not to mention it has been fattened up by the thousands of the ingredients in the Battle Birth Ground.
The meal is ripe for consumption.
Slurp!
"You are ripe!" The newborn denizen said with a watery mouth, especially now that it tasted some of it.
