The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"This planet has long since handed over all authority to me—therefore, all life is under my control."

After absorbing the lives of all believers, the bishop of the covenant had transformed into a form very similar to the statue of the god he had seen before.

The scattered black shadows then coalesced into human shapes, revealing their previous appearance once again.

“Now that external thing has vanished, and you are only barely surviving because of its remaining power—you have no chance.”

"...Have you truly abandoned your human identity?"

Even under the intense pressure of divine power, the ordinary man with black hair and black eyes showed no sign of wavering.

The surrounding illusions gradually collapsed, and the eroded hall revealed its original appearance again—however, the white statue covered by black veins did not return to its original state.

"Human identity? Why would you think I would be troubled by something like that?"

"I'll give you one last piece of advice... You'd better think it through before you answer me."

"Boring—you pose no threat to me anymore."

The newly born god simply waved his hand, and a dense, almost tangible force of starlight instantly blasted towards the man standing in front of the statue.

The sacred and majestic radiance was so dazzling that it was as if one were looking directly at the sun, and the figures touched by that radiance instantly melted away without leaving a trace.

"Tsk... It's stopped listening to people already."

...But after the light faded, the black-haired, black-eyed man reappeared from the darkness.

This time, however, the man's expression seemed somewhat distressed for some reason.

"Let me confirm one last time... are you really no longer 'human'?"

"Oh? It can even recover from a direct attack by divine power—as a 'god,' I cannot allow such blasphemous power to exist."

Humans and gods... perhaps this question is no longer meaningful.

An being who has abandoned his human identity and plundered countless lives to ascend to the position of a god would never allow anyone to question him.

So he raised his hand again, compressing the star power he controlled to its limit, and aimed it at the man who seemed to be unable to offer any resistance.

"Alright, since you no longer acknowledge that you are 'human'... then I won't hold back."

However, the next second, everything around them suddenly changed.

The sacred hall dissolved and shattered like an illusion, and the chaotic flow of life resembled a tranquil deep sea—only the statues bound and corrupted by darkness still floated in the void.

"Since the planet has chosen to entrust its power to a force that denies the existence of humanity, then the fate of this planet is also headed for death—a world that has abandoned many possibilities in order to preserve itself has no future to speak of."

The divine might that had filled every corner vanished without warning... while the turbid sea of ​​life began to stir, as if driven by some kind of will.

At this moment, the deity, realizing that something was amiss, finally revealed a solemn expression.

"What...did you do?"

“I told you from the beginning, the power you’ve gathered has long been mine… Your belief that you’ve regained control and merged with these powers is just an illusion I’ve created for you.”

The man, who had maintained a humble and gentle expression, finally revealed a sinister and ruthless look in his eyes.

It was as if a weary beast had finally bared its fangs... The newborn god's body involuntarily shivered.

No, why am I feeling fear? Even though I have already become—

“You possess power unmatched by ordinary people, and you should have been able to do even better than the person I remember… but what did you do?”

The man was referring to the illusion of the beast tide that had just occurred.

In a corner of memory that is now almost nonexistent, the image of humanity uniting to resist the monster horde still shines brightly—but the challengers did not complete the test, but instead savagely plundered the lives of others.

"Ha, stop spouting nonsense—I am a god representing the will of the planet, and you are nothing but an ant that doesn't even qualify as a human!"

"Ah, that's right, I can no longer be considered purely human—"

After speaking, the man slowly raised his right hand.

A pitch-black celestial sphere quietly appeared in his palm, and then, as if becoming the core of this turbid sea, it began to pulsate intensely.

Then, the celestial body suddenly split in two, transforming into a gigantic, monstrous maw filled with fangs—

"—I am the one who devours gods."

……

The brutal hunt has begun.

The newly born god had no idea what the enormous black maw that was being hurled at him was... He only knew that he instinctively raised his hand to try to block it, and then instantly lost half of his body.

"Ugh... Ughhhhh!"

He was eaten up—he had clearly become a great being who ruled the planet, yet his body was so easily devoured by that foreign creature.

Impossible! I have already surpassed humanity and become a being comparable to a planet, so why would I be harmed by something so inexplicable?

"You had no idea what kind of enemy you were facing, yet you devised a foolish plan riddled with flaws—and you also robbed the human being who had the instinct to solve these problems of the opportunity."

"Damn it—don't think you can defeat me like this!"

Enraged, the god unleashed his power, instantly restoring the damaged body to its original state.

He had not lost yet—he could feel the planet still being closely connected to him, still providing him with an almost inexhaustible source of power.

With the true Child of the Stars gone, only he, who has ascended to godhood as a hero, can use these powers.

"Disappear!"

The power compressed to its extreme transformed into a dazzling flash in the god's hands, instantly engulfing everything it touched—neither the surrounding turbid sea of ​​life nor the man holding the strange, gigantic maw could escape from this light.

"As I just said, you don't understand the definition of a god at all... Can absolute power control everything? Are you some kind of child who hasn't grown up?"

However, when the cold voice rang out again, the god suddenly realized that his legs were being tightly bitten by two snake-shaped mandibles that appeared out of nowhere.

In the blink of an eye, his lower body was torn apart by an inexplicable force... and devoured by those evil, insidious, greedy mouths.

"Aaaaaah—how...is this possible?!"

Then, the god, now only half-dead, finally saw that in the dark, murky sea around him were countless enormous, black mouths that were constantly opening and closing, waiting for the opportunity to prey on their prey.

And their target... is himself!

"Still don't understand? Then let me give you a proper lesson—of course, the last one."
