Chapter 286.1. A Mysterious Girl
-???’s POV-
The sun’s flames consumed everything below, and not just the earth. The power of those flames reached into the sky, where black clouds spread, setting even the heavens ablaze.
The once pitch-black world had now transformed into a swirling world of crimson flames.
The ruined city got swallowed by the flames, now turned into a magma sea. Zombies that had been so numerous had burned away like matchsticks, leaving no trace.
.
“This… this power is… unbelievable…”
Heimdall stood in astonishment, his mouth agape, watching the world get engulfed in flames.
Heimdall’s face had changed, not just in appearance, but even his clothing and artifacts had transformed. Heimdall swallowed hard and peered at the girl as if trying to get a glimpse of her.
The girl, illuminated by the flames, had silky gray hair that flowed, and her ice-blue eyes were as beautiful as gemstones, yet devoid of emotion, radiating an eerie light.
Despite having just incinerated the entire world moments ago, she has no trace of guilt or wicked pleasure in her expression. She had only decided to burn it because it was in her way.
She’s worse than Surt. He had looked so gleeful while burning the world. How hideous at the time, I thought that as I was dying, but now I can see it was still better.
Having no emotions was far worse.
She should have known that this world was still in the making. Presumably, whoever created this world intended to subdue the gods, create the sky, bring forth fertile lands, and create a paradise filled with abundant golden power.
Even in this world of death, there had been a future. Well, Heimdall had no intention of becoming the creator’s subordinate.
This girl couldn’t be so foolish as to not understand it. Yet, she had incinerated it all without a hint of emotion.
Fear sprouted in the corner of my heart as I wondered who this girl might be. She had introduced herself as Takano Miu, but she certainly didn’t appear to be human.
“All right, with this, I’ve collected all the cotton candy in this world.”
Emotion returned to the lady’s eyes as she extended her small palm. Wondering what she was about to do, I watched as the Golden energy emerged from the flames, gathering in her palm.
The Golden energy she had desired so greatly. It all condensed in the palm of the girl’s hand.
“Wow, it’s huge!”
The gathered Golden energy was as big as Miu’s body, and she held it tightly, afraid to drop it. It seemed she had gathered all the golden power in this world.
“Sweet treats are perfect for a tired body!”
She opened her small mouth wide and ate it as if it were a delicious snack. Watching her, she seemed like nothing more than a young girl enjoying her treat.
However, Heimdall, using his innate power of [Clairvoyance], continued to observe this situation closely. And internally, he was astounded.
“She’s eating it! She’s actually digesting it.”
Heimdall felt the Golden energy vanish as it entered her mouth.
With no power but his consciousness, Heimdall drifted into this world, pondering what this Golden energy might be.
He concluded that it was the Primordial Power of Creation, an energy that couldn’t be destroyed.
At first glance, this energy appears to be Golden Thread, and even though it got destroyed, its energy is indestructible. It only changes form, just as water changes from a liquid to a gas.
It was because it was an energy that couldn’t get destroyed that it was considered the Power of Creation. Yet, this girl was consuming it as if it were nothing!
In this unbelievable situation, my body and soul trembled. This girl was doing the impossible, even for a god! Who could she be?
I focused my [Clairvoyance] on the girl, who was eating with great enthusiasm, trying to penetrate her soul’s light and discern her true identity.
It’s a human soul… Undoubtedly, it’s a human soul, though it emits an exceptionally powerful light. Perhaps she possesses a strong soul that can traverse worlds in her soul state.
He sense something peculiar about her soul’s radiance, but… from every angle, it’s a human soul. Only someone with a [Clairvoyance] like Heimdall or a god capable of manipulating souls could tell, most likely.
That’s why it was strange. She had far too much power for a human, and above all, there was no way she could possess the ability to digest the Golden energy.
Indeed, there was a faint flicker in her soul that gave him a sense of unease, but…
Unbelievably, the girl finished consuming the Golden energy that was as large as herself and let out a sigh with a sad expression.
“I ate with all my might, and now I’m hungry.”
She rubbed her empty belly, looking dejected. Her stomach made a small growling sound.
“You ate that much, and still hungry?”
“Girls have a separate dimension for their stomachs, you know!”
She waved her hand and pouted her lips.
“It seems so plausible it’s scary…”
From her innocent and silly appearance, there was not a trace of the doll-like demeanor she had displayed earlier.
“Now then, this world is engulfed in unending flames, and Zombies won’t be born again.”
“When this flame disappears, it will start anew.”
“No, these flames won’t get extinguished by just any power. I’ll sustain it until they incinerate all my enemies.”
“But Zombies have burned out, haven’t they? Are you planning to destroy souls?”
“No, my enemy is this world. The flames won’t go out until I reduce this world to ashes.”
She calmly spoke terrifying words and gave a sinister smile.
