Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 141 The Proud God

Hahaha!
Goliath threw his head back and laughed wildly, unrestrained and arrogant to the extreme.

Just by standing there, he seemed to turn the sky upside down.

A massive and powerful energy burst forth, its vast and majestic aura as if it had encountered a towering and imposing mountain range.

"This is outrageous!" This terrifyingly powerful scene filled the eyes of all the demons with shock and joy.

"This is the legendary true god, the true saint, the supreme being among humankind!"

Goliath sighed softly, even he himself was shocked by his own immense power.

God said that he was only at the fourth level, and his basic stats were insufficient. No matter how amazing the magic mechanism he researched was, it was still just flashy nonsense.

but now.

He's at level five, so his base stats are sufficient.

This is an unprecedented level, one that even the legendary Guru Rinpoche did not reach.

He can be considered the first person of this era.

The first fifth-order deity in the universe.

At that moment, he felt as if his soul and body had become one.

With enhanced soul power and higher physical quality, the body underwent a tremendous qualitative change, and the resulting mental power was hundreds of times greater than before.

At this level of base stats, his magic is no longer so flashy.

"To defeat the weak with the strong, to overpower the weak with the powerful, and to bully the small with the large—that is the true fighting method of our demon race!"

The Demon King Goliath laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with excitement, his entire body casting a shadow that filled the sky, carrying with it the might of heaven and earth.

"It is precisely because of my despicable nature that I am qualified to win and defeat God!"

The voice of the Demon King Goliath resounded throughout the surroundings, and the demons who had hidden to watch the battle became excited as well:
"Hahaha, that's it! You really are a despicable demon king!"

"This is the true nature of our demon race!"

"It's all lies, not a single word is true. It's a mix of truth and falsehood, insidious and shameless. It's truly amazing!"

"Hahaha, we won! We demons are masters at bullying the weak!"

"Finally, we succeeded! Hit him! Kill him!"

"Gah! Quickly use your invincible power to blast God to smithereens!"

"You despicable demon king, speak now! If you, as a god, were to speak, God would die!"

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted.

In the eyes of other races, "despicable" and "treacherous" are insults, but in the eyes of demons, they are praises for the Demon King!
at this time.

As soon as these demons saw the advantage, their despicable old habits resurfaced, and they began to taunt and mock, each one seemingly transforming into a vile little devil.

in the sky.

Goliath exuded a strange, innate aura; his dark red lips were slightly upturned.
"Let the fourth battle begin, the final battle of the front."

A smug smile curled at the corners of his lips as he looked at the God before him, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light. "Ready to feel fear?"

"Feel the power of the true God!"

Goliath simply swung his fist and threw a punch.

No sound came out, because all the air had been compressed together by the violent force, as if the entire sky had been pierced by a terrible impact.

"Fear originated from you, and now it will be returned to you!!"

God had no time to dodge the punch and was instantly blasted away. His flesh, robes, boots, and crown were blown away like the flame of a burning candle, turning into a cloud of dust.

All that remained of God was his powerful and resilient golden skeleton, floating in the sky.

He revealed the true part of God's physical body—a metal skeleton covered with core texture patterns.

But the next second, the immortal divine power reforged God.

Two seconds to live, two seconds to die.

The scattered robes, cloaks, boots, and even the various organs within the body gathered in the air and transformed back into knights of the Apocalypse, standing in the sky.

They seemed like a group of mythical knights standing on clouds, riding warhorses.

"come back."

One after another, the Knights of Revelation transformed into streaks of light and flew swiftly, returning to God's body and quickly restoring him to his previous physical form.

"If [Immortal] hadn't locked my form, I would have died from that attack just now."

God looked at Goliath opposite him and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He said calmly, "However, does your body have any defects?"

"A flaw?" Goliath's heart sank.

He suddenly remembered something.

Now it is the fallen God, who is even more devilish than this devil king.

He himself has his own schemes and tricks, so how could this demonized God not?

How could the other party fall into the trap so easily?

Goliath, being a cunning and despicable man, always used this same despicable and insidious mentality to speculate about others.

An idea popped into my head.

"Is there something wrong with my body? Did the other party sabotage it beforehand?"

He diligently adapted to his new realm, attempting to master this perfect holy body that only fifth-tier powerhouses possess.

A completely new, incredible, and ultimate explosive power rippled out from within his body.

All the organs, tissues, nerves, and brain in the body were rapidly starting to function.

'The sage has a normal brain'

'The saint's body is normal'

'A semi-energy-based magical construct, with a stable cycle'

'The world has slowed down, no, it's that the sage's brain has acquired a normal, super-mode of thinking.'

'Neural transmission is more than 300 times faster'

Each piece of data is processed by the brain.

This sacred body can exist indefinitely without any side effects.

"There is no problem."

Goliath gave a cold smile:
"Are you planning to say, 'God said,' and then my heart will open and say, 'If it is God's will, I must obey'?"

"And then my heart will pound out and be given to you?"

Upon hearing this, the demonized God, radiating an aura of malevolence and evil, revealed a hint of mockery. He crossed his arms and spoke in a tone even more arrogant than that of the demon king Goliath:

Why not give it a try? Your heart might listen to me.

Goliath's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. "Mystic power isn't omnipotent. How can he possibly listen to you if you don't infuse him with mysticism?"

"Call my heart out, and see if it answers you."

The fallen God sighed softly: "The Heart of Goliath."

Boom boom boom!
My heart, filled with fear, suddenly began to beat faster.

Goliath's expression tightened, and then something happened that left him somewhat bewildered: a young and innocent voice echoed in his heart:

"God, your son of fear, rejoices in your cry!"

Goliath's expression froze instantly.

yes.
How did you do it?
My heart is fine, and my body is fine.

When the organs of the Holy Body were being cast, he guarded them so closely that the other party could not tamper with them at all!
There's only one place where they could have tampered with it!
There's a problem with having just absorbed the fear of the entire world.
The fears absorbed from all directions all had flaws, as they contained a large amount of [mysterious] power stored in advance.

These mysterious fears entered his heart, so what is his heart now?
Everything is shrouded in mystery right now. All it will take is for the other party to speak.
Goliath grew increasingly terrified, his heart filled with a mixture of fear, anger, and resentment.
How could we forget that God is a more vicious and insidious fallen form than the Demon King! His fighting style is completely different from the previous merciful God.

“You know I collect fears, so I manipulate those fears.”

Goliath's expression froze, but his thoughts suddenly became clear.

"I'm afraid you used the moonlight from the sky to release the mystery, causing the mystery to awaken fear knights on the earth ahead of time."

"The Fear Knight has just had his heart sucked into my body."

"To manipulate the fears of the world on such a large scale without being detected, you might have an inside accomplice. Those damned demon lords may have betrayed me behind the scenes!"

Their betrayal seems to be within reason.

Those bastards probably already used this information as leverage to curry favor with God.

However, he cannot guard against all demons, otherwise no one will help him with his work, his research on the Holy Body, and his predictions of the future.

The more he thought about it, the more silent he became.

Demons, what a bunch of scum!

A bunch of damned traitors, can't they just unite for once?

Are we going to repeat the same mistake we made last time?
The fallen God chuckled softly, "Betrayal, greed, and cunning are your main themes."

"Devil, the only lesson history teaches you is that you have never learned anything from history."

God, surrounded by dark clouds, his eerie eyes flashing with a hint of coldness and arrogance, spoke in a cruel tone:
"I spared you worms of hell in the first place in order to seek a greater work, so that I could perfect a more powerful God."

"So, you insects deserve to live."

God looked at Goliath with an expression of approval.
"You're quite good. You've forged a semi-elemental holy body similar to mine, and your heart is even crafted with the [fear] of God. Since it's the heart of God's fear..."

"Nature is more compatible with my body."

"You completed a great work for me, and I accept your heart."

next moment.

A soft voice came, and God said:

"Demon Heart, come here."

And so it was settled.

Goliath's heart began to pound.

His entire chest began to tear apart, and a demonic heart, filled with fear, slowly emerged with each beat.

Wow!

The heart flew into the body and entered the devil, falling into God's clutches.

This heart inherently contains a large amount of Goliath's [transformation] divine power, serving as the body's driving force.

With Goliath's transformative power, combined with his heart, God's body finally began to undergo a qualitative change, with its various attributes flowing, colors swirling, and chaos churning.

God's body, which exploded and then recovered, went from dying in two seconds to dying in seven seconds.

God felt the vibrant power emanating from the body, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face, and he thought to himself:

"This hellish civilization was originally a seed I planted, and now it has blossomed into a flower of civilization."

"It's just that this heart is still far from perfect."

"My Holy Body is far superior to Goliath's. He was forged from only a dozen or so saintly organs, while I have over a hundred, and I can add or remove organs at any time! It's all about not caring about compatibility and doing whatever I want."

"He is strong, but his body is still breaking down."

"This one heart is not enough to maintain stability. Perhaps I need another heart."

He had a premonition that "besides disgust, one also needs a kind heart."

But that's enough for now.

He waited so long, wasn't it all to harvest a heart that possessed the ultimate emotions and was in harmony with God, to ignite his own sacred body?
The miracle of Xiangdomo back then is not something that can be easily replicated!
The heart of a bird without feet is rare in this world.

Now, after waiting for a great era, I have finally succeeded.

Now, is there anything more fitting than this heart filled with fear of God?

It was practically tailor-made for me!
The seeds you planted have blossomed into sweet fruit.

After the heart had circulated for several cycles, God's realm finally began to break through.

Fourth stage of perfection.

Early stage of fifth rank!

The chaotic power within his body was once again restored, and he finally stepped into the legendary realm of the supreme intelligent god.

the other side.

The entire demon race was plunged into even greater fear; they were filled with despair, wailing, and screaming.

"Shameless God! The strong should fight honorably, don't resort to such despicable tricks!"

"Waaaah, you despicable God! We're all just insects!"

"It's all lies, not a single word is true. It's a mix of truth and falsehood, insidious and shameless. It's truly amazing!"

"Hahaha, we lost! Our demon race has been defeated again. He's a master at bullying the weak!"

"Gah! We're about to be blasted to smithereens by God's invincible power!"

The demons were devastated and gasped in shock.

The intense heat of hellish lava filled their lungs. Their defenses were completely breached.

Who is the real demon king?
He is more despicable than the vile demon king.

He is more cunning than the treacherous demon king.

In that instant, countless demons felt their dignity being brutally trampled upon.

They may be inferior in combat strength and knowledge, but in their most prized virtue—cunning and treachery—they are utterly trampled upon and rubbed into the ground.

This is the attack method that is most devastating and painful for them.

Goliath, having lost his heart, watched God adapt to the physical breakthrough and suddenly shouted to Lilith in the distance, "No! There's still a chance! I still have a chance!"

"Lilith, now they are even more terrified, more terrified than ever before!"

Goliath's expression revealed a desperate anxiety, and he roared wildly:
"I lost my fourth match."

"Our entire hell is terrified by the fallen God. They know they are about to die, and their fear is even greater!"

Lilith asked nervously, "What do you mean?"

"Yes, this fear might just ignite another heart!" Goliath suddenly roared.

“But what if God leaves another hidden hand on fear this time?” Lilith asked anxiously.

"Not anymore."

Goliath lowered his voice and said, "The fear that was just causing problems has been absorbed, and now is the cleanest time."

Lilith asked, "Will he let you condense a second heart?"

"Yes! He definitely will!"

Goliath's expression was one of unwavering certainty as he gazed into the distance at the figure of the strongest being throughout history, perched high in the sky.

"He's waiting for my fifth battle, the final battle."

"He will let me go again, and defeat me fair and square."

Goliath was so nervous and fearful that he trembled all over. "Yes, he will wait for me. He is already waiting for me to fight."

He stared in astonishment at the towering figure suspended high in the sky.
"Because he is the incomparably proud and noble God."
