Chapter 11 - 11 Source of darkness

Venterus fixed his gaze on nothingness, then the darkness scattered around him began to slowly withdraw into Venterus's incarnation, as if everything was once again under the control of Venterus's consciousness.

Venterus's incarnation began to grow larger than before, his hair longer, The aura around him thickened, his appearance imposing.

Venterus raised both arms, his thin, free height, then took a deep breath, closing his eyes as if contemplating the moment. He said in a deep, calm voice,"I feel... the source."

The moment Venterus devoured the Dark Souls, he felt every energy the Dark Souls had devoured,

every memory they had lived,

every life they had encountered,

every pain they had fed on,

he felt the one source from which they had come.

Finally, the Dark Souls had relinquished their consciousness, and Venterus's consciousness remained the most powerful remaining, sovereign over the Dark Souls' energy...and their memories. And with every energy the Dark Spirits fed on, everything emanating from them became the property of Venterus's consciousness.

Venterus walked with steady, heavy steps, heading into the depths of the "Spirit Forest."

While Venterus's consciousness was fully controll Li Yan's body, Shen Yan had fallen asleep deep within Venterus's consciousness. However, no one realized that Li Yan's consciousness had been dormant since birth, The only one functioning was Venterus's consciousness as a primitive human. Li Yan's consciousness was trapped in an endless, dark cycle deep within Venterus's consciousness.

Even an embodied consciousness is capable of devouring the incarnation's consciousness, but the existence of the cosmic contract and laws of incarnation prevent this from happening,The true consciousness of the incarnation remains trapped within the depths of the consciousness that made the cosmic contract in order to incarnate.

Venterus interrupted the moment of contemplation and said in a deep, solemn, and low voice, smiling a frightening smile.

"It's time for the chase."

Venterus then advanced with heavy steps, 

Deeper

Deeper, the land of the "Spirit Forest" was afraid to breathe under his heavy footsteps, lest he draw his attention to it. But at that moment, Venterus was not paying attention to what was around him; his attention was focused on something else: the "Source of Darkness." 

At that moment, he wanted to "kill them all" and strip them of their consciousness, He headed toward their source because he realized his path, after devouring his creatures. ..

Venteros moved as if he owned this universe, as if he had created these laws.

The creatures of the Spirit Land, both small and large, were frightened by the aura emanating from Venenteros at that moment, hiding, concealing their energy with all their conscious awareness.

"Destruction is born!" a small creature said, fearfully and tremblingly, whispering to another creatures like him.

"He will kill us... all of us!"

The Amatrices who inhabit the Spirit Forest looked on, immaterial beings bearing the memory of the Earth, who neither kill nor steal. Then the eldest of these beings said in a trembling voice, his eyes wide with fear and awe at the sight he saw.

"This being will show no mercy..."

He doesn't distinguish between good and evil, he doesn't even care about them!

Deep in the Spirit Forest, a huge, bright white light appeared, resembling a portal that had just opened,

Venterus paused for a moment.

While Venterus stood silently, the Shadow Spirits moved at a tremendous speed, and a faint silence lingered among the trees, as they realized the presence of a formidable being that had killed the Dark Spirits.

When one of the Shadow Spirits tried to take the first step with Tremendous speed, Venterus looked at it with a cold stare, as if he had recognized the presence of these spirits all along! Venterus raised his left hand and firmly grasped the shadow's neck, which had no form, merely a shadow in its form.

Venterus used the uttermost energy he possessed to break the Shadow Spirit!

 He was fighting for his life, speaking in an incomprehensible language.

Speech was becoming useless, and he began to scatter a frequency.

This sound frequency was majestic and frightening, containing words that only those who had grasped the science of energy could understand.

"This being... it's evil!"

The creature sent out another frequency.

The other frequency was beating at a frantic speed. "We don't stand a chance!"

The rest of the Shadow Spirits responded to the frequency one of them sent.

They all headed simultaneously to Venteros's location and jumped together to overthrow Venteros.

Venteros was unconcerned.

He was fed up with this unfair fight.

He simply raised his aura flow, and all the Shadow Spirits scattered and fell to the ground with ethereal injuries that were almost impossible to heal.

Venteros said, throwing the being to the ground with such force that the ground almost shook with fear.

"You are all souls bound to each other... and that is why existence is weak, No matter how developed a soul is, it always returns."

"For one origin."

Venteros said this because he realized from the first moment these spirits emerged from the portal, that they were all spirits of shadow and darkness, connected to a single source that had been scattered among several types of spirits.

Quietness filled the forest as Venteros stood in the middle of this dark forest. There was nothing but the portal that had opened earlier.

He wasn't looking at it, just silently staring into the void.

He looked away from the void and turned his gaze toward the luminous portal, because he sensing the arrival of a being with a different, big energy than the other soul's! 

"Huh, it seems you've caused a bit of a stir here... Venteros," he said in a frightening tone as he advanced through the portal of light.

The ground began to shake violently, and birds began to fly away as if some danger was about to strike!

Venteros's expression became questioning and wary.

"How does he know me?"

"As what you said, we are all connected to one source. There are those who are aware of who they are connected to, and there are those who are not."

The mysterious being said this, not sounding afraid.

Then he continued, in a serious tone,

"How... does he know me?"

Venteros was surprised!

Then the mysterious being continued, saying,

"Because I am aware of my source, and my highest source was sitting in that cosmic council at the moment you decided to incarnate."

When the unknown being emerged, he appeared as an elegant man in a fine suit and a long cane, like a nineteenth-century nobleman, standing confidently in a cold blue fog, with thick black smoke rising from his head instead of a head.

He had no features, and his entire head was covered in smoke.

His feelings or even his intentions could not be determined.

He held a cane with a small light, as if illuminating a path in an endless world.

 The unknown being remained in place, his steps heavy and his presence heavy and cold.

The unknown being increased his aura flow, letting Venterus know who was standing before him.

The increased aura flow of the unknown being confused Venterus, not because he was afraid of him, but because Venterus had absorbed a portion of the unknown being's souls within him!

Venterus touched his heart, because this is the chakra. This is where the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds becomes established.

Then the mysterious being said in a deep, low voice, "I AM their source."

Venterus looked at him with a surprised look, and then the creature's energy began to flow violently everywhere at a frantic speed, a tremendous flow.

The pressure of this forest began to feel heavier than before!

Venterus was still clutching his heart tightly, breathing heavily.

After all, Venterus was still weak in this form.

The black energy of the Source of Darkness and Shadow Spirits now covered everything, and its barrier encompassed "the entire Spirit Forest," preventing any of the clan elders from sensing what remained of this awakening.

Through this scattered blackness, the Source advanced quickly, breaking through the boundaries of spacetime, facing Venterus's face. He said in a deep, brutal voice, "You are weak... in this form.

" Then the Source extended its right arm toward Venterus's face.

Venterus's eyes opened wide in surprise.

This was the first time his eyes had widened in surprise since he had become conscious!

 Then the Source said in a deeper voice,

"It's time for you to sleep."

Venteros slept.

The scattered dark energy began to become lighter.

The vision became clearer than before...

The Dark Source stood up straight as he looked at the incarnation of Venteros lying on the ground.

The Dark Source then placed one of its fingers on Venteros's forehead and began to draw energy from within Venteros.

The energy radiated darkness and heaviness. It was the energy of the souls that Venteros had devoured, but it wasn't conscious, just energy that responded to anyone who might take it in.

Venteros's form returned to its former state: younger, with semi-long hair, a softer figure... as before, he was back to being Li Yan.

The Dark Source muttered,

"Notnow.. "..
