Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 280 The Lord of Demons and Monsters—The Gray Gu! A worm representing darkness!

Box of Elysium.

As time goes by, the giant cocoon is constantly expanding and contracting, and each contraction and expansion causes the cracks on the surface of the cocoon to expand!

A terrifying aura is spreading from the cracks in the giant cocoon, as if the being inside the cocoon is eager to emerge and survey its kingdom!

Soon, with a contraction and expansion of the giant cocoon, the terrifying entity that had completed its gestation tore open the cocoon's outer shell from the inside.

The Lord of Demons and Monsters emerged from the hole in the giant cocoon, his nearly 100-meter-tall figure exuding an oppressive aura!

A powerful and twisted life force in the flesh, a sturdy bone armor encasing the body, crimson runes emerging, a heart throbbing and devouring the darkness, surging hot blood flowing through the veins, a great dragon supporting the spine, hands representing stillness and progress...

All of this demonstrates how terrifying the Lord of Demons and Monsters is!

After the Lord of Demons and Monsters emerged, Shao Shang stretched his body and then looked at the shattered giant cocoon.

A greedy and devouring desire ignited in the eyes of the Lord of Demons and Monsters.

The giant cocoon that can give birth to the lord of demons and monsters is naturally not simple; it is the embodiment of highly pure negative emotions!

To put it simply, this giant cocoon can be seen as a celestial yokai participating in the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) ritual!

And he's one of the best among the celestial demons!

For pure physical celestial monsters like the Blue Oni and the Red Oni, breaking through the giant cocoon's outer shell is simply impossible.

However, it is special because it does not participate in the previous battles. Instead, it sacrifices itself at the end for the birth of the Lord of Demons and Monsters, and is the last offering in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!

The Lord of Demons and Monsters walked over, tore open the giant cocoon, and devoured it piece by piece.

The fragments of the giant black cocoon became part of his body, replenishing his energy and providing enough nutrition to help the Lord of Demons and Monsters through his period of weakness.

"What a pity, I wonder when the Chest of Elysium will be filled with negative energy again."

While eating, the Lord of Demons and Monsters looked around regretfully at the empty Chest of Bliss.

It was completely empty, without a trace of negative energy!

Not a single one!

They were all devoured by the Lord of Demons and Monsters!

The giant cocoon, the final manifestation of negative energy, is also about to disappear.

This can be said to be the cleanest it was, except for the moment when the Box of Elysium was created by the Sage of Six Paths.

After finishing the last fragment of the giant black scroll, the Lord of Demons and Monsters patted his stomach.

"Although we weren't completely full, it's enough to solve our immediate problem. At least we won't be born weak. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to our ability to seize control of negative emotions from other beings."

"It would be great if the giant cocoon could be a little bigger."

The Lord of Demons and Monsters sighed, knowing full well that this was unrealistic. Even with the negative emotions accumulated over a thousand years in the Box of Bliss, it was already a struggle to even give birth to it, let alone share a portion with the Giant Cocoon.

"But it's okay, we can absorb the negative emotions once we get outside."

The Lord of Demons and Monsters burst out of the Box of Bliss, reveling in the overwhelming negative emotions that washed over him.

Under the influence of the Third Mizukage, Kirigakure has become a paradise for monsters, filled with negative emotions and fear.

While it cannot compare to the environment inside the Box of Bliss, where negative emotions are almost materialized, it should not be underestimated.

After all, the Chest of Bliss has already been thoroughly drained and devoured.

The monsters gathered outside stared in stunned silence at the godlike Lord of Demons and Monsters who burst forth from the Land of Bliss.

Then, infected by the aura emanating from the Lord of Demons and Monsters, he became even more fanatical and insane.

The Lord of Demons and Monsters saw the fanatical, worshipping monsters outside the Land of Bliss who were paying homage to him, and a smile appeared on his face.

it is good!it is good!it is good!

These are his lovely villagers and his lovely subordinates, but they are rather weak.

Although the number of yokai in Kirigakure has increased considerably after the Third Mizukage's reforms, it is still not enough compared to the number of ordinary people in Kirigakure.

After all, how could the Third Mizukage possibly transform everyone in Kirigakure into monsters all by himself?

I have the will but not the ability!

However, this was not a problem for the Lord of Demons and Monsters. As the Lord who created demons and monsters, how could he not have the means to transform them?

Its aura will continuously erode the surrounding environment and transform it into its own domain!

Where the Lord of Demons and Monsters stands is his own territory, and that is the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! The terror of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is deeply ingrained in people's hearts. There is a powerful leader, as well as an endless stream of monsters and lesser monsters.

Nothing needs to be done. Villagers who stay near the Lord of Demons and Monsters for too long will involuntarily turn into monsters themselves.

Of course, this kind of monster is the weakest of the lesser monsters, even weaker than the earth monsters.

If you want to become stronger, to become a great demon, a celestial demon.

We need the watchful eye of the Lord of Demons and Monsters!

Because wherever the Lord of Demons and Monsters casts his gaze, fear follows like a shadow; everything within his sight belongs to him!

Any villager it gazes upon will be swarmed with negative energy, transforming them into a powerful monster!

This is much more convenient than the Third Mizukage's exhausting experiments on monsters.

and so……

To better protect the village, it decided to expand its influence, ensuring all villagers lived under its protection! This meant transforming each and every villager.

After all, how many "fears" could a village like Kirigakure possibly have?

Kirigakure's expansion outwards transforms the "fear" generated by oppressing its own people into the "fear" generated by oppressing the entire ninja world.

The reasons are easy to find: which ninja village doesn't have a blood feud with another ninja village?

Those who offend Kirigakure will be attacked and destroyed!

"Teacher Danzo, perhaps this is what you want: the villagers' heartfelt love and worship."

"I told you I would live on with your will."

"A promise is a promise—that's my favorite saying!"

The Lord of Demons and Monsters, whose body was nearly a hundred meters long, continued to shrink until it became the size of a normal person.

He was roughly similar to Danzo in his youth, extremely handsome, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

"I will inherit Danzo-sensei's will and become the lord of all demons and monsters, ruling over everything!"

"From today onwards, I will be called Grey Gu, the insect that represents darkness!"

Then it closed its eyes and used that immortal "heart" that had been nurtured for a thousand years and bore a thousand sins to sense the entire ninja world!

"I can sense the darkness of the entire ninja world; it's vast, but too scattered!"

"But it doesn't matter, Ninja World, your Dark Emperor has returned!"

Grey Gu loudly proclaimed its ambitions!

Now, the dark power in the ninja world is in disarray, and it needs this powerful newcomer to bring it together!

This is what Grey Gu thought: he never asked for the opinions of those who possessed dark authority, nor did he care about their opinions.

Of course, Grey Gu dared to do this because it had its own reliance.

Putting aside his immense strength.

For monsters of the Super Shadow level, physical attacks are ineffective if they do not exceed the upper limit, and energy attacks are tantamount to aiding the enemy if they do not exceed the upper limit.

That alone makes it invincible!
