****(POV)
This human was strange. No, this being. Actually, I have no idea what he is. He seed like one, but he was obviously a god.
When he called the fire, I felt it. I felt this primal fear invade . I found myself shivering. Funny for a Gu like I. Gus are feared and evil. Compared to him, I am nothing but a small insect.
At first, I was confused and surprised. The first thing he did was pet my head. There was no disgust or nervousness. He did it as if such action was natural. I can't get his smile out of my head.
Wait, no. Right now is not the ti for that. I need to focus on my current task. I cannot waste the gift he left . I sit cross-legged, and I begin to cultivate. It takes a long while to take the right posture, but I manage. (Centipede problems)
I need to rember exactly the feeling that coursed through when he patted . It was a special kind of warmth. Usually, I should abhor such a thing as a creature of darkness, but it didn't negatively affect .
I need to rember this feeling, this power. There was this serene sensation. It felt as if anything was possible with it. It felt amazing!
I sit and I ditate. I'm doing my best to achieve it. This is hard. It is similar to trying to see sothing that is invisible. You know it's there but knowing won't help.
Back in the earth realm, I was so powerful, but here I am worthless. This is my only chance to change my fate. Otherwise, the next ti that asshole of a god cos back I'll be damned.
This whole practice technique goes against all that I have ever believed in. If it didn't co from him, I wouldn't even have tried.
It's weird how he convinced . I think it was his whole deanor that really did the trick. He was confident but didn't seem arrogant. He seed so sure that I'd be able to beco a deity.
How crazy is that idea? How crazy is it that I actually believe it ?! I'm not sure but I'd say a lot. So I just keep at it. Even when there isn't any obvious progress. Even when I feel the smaller Gus crawl all over my body.
I remain steady like that. For how long? I'm not sure. All I know is that it feels like an eternity. It feels as if the whole world had ti to transform and change. I slowly feel my power becoming stronger and stronger.
It's a weird feeling. How am I becoming stronger? I'm not even sure. I think I am, but I can't describe it. Then, eventually, I feel that I am that close to succeeding.
I can feel sothing around . Before, I didn't notice it, but now I realize that there is divine energy everywhere. I understand it. Still, there is sothing amiss.
I can feel its presence, but I'm unable to interact with it, akin to an illusion. Or perhaps, am I dreaming?
It shouldn't be possible for a Gu to dream. Then again, so many things are supposed to be impossible for one such as I, and yet here I am.
I can feel the discomfort of feeling that I am very close to the journey's end, but still so far. I slowly open my eyes.
Sohow, the small crawling Gus are all exactly where they used to be. Did they remain perfectly still? Am I the one going crazy and losing my perception of ti itself? I'm not sure. Does it even matter?
I feel so very close to succeeding. Just a small push. I see all the Gus around . Should I eat a few? It won't do much, but it may just be what I require.
Should I? They are so defenseless. They are but smaller beings at my rcy. Morality is useless. Why should I be affected by that being's words?!
I open my maw wide and then I. close it. This is weird, but I can picture him shaking his head in disapproval. For so reason, I dislike that sight. Why?
We barely talked. I should not care one bit. Then why? Ah, I know. Because it was fun eting him, it was the most fun I've had in ages.
This short eting was great. Sohow I get the feeling that should I follow my nature, I may one day beco his enemy. I can't help but shiver as I picture fighting such a monster.
That is when I decide not to ss with the little ones. It is also when I decide what I want to beco. I want to beco the eternal Gu. The one that will keep struggling until he succeeds the one that
That is also when it finally clicks. I can feel it all. Power gushes into my body endlessly. What was blocking was my mindset. The hesitation was preventing from completing my transformation.
That is when I understand. There are no good or wrong paths, only ones that we choose and ignore. It is that simple. I chose this one in order not to fight him in the future.
Just as I am done evolving, I can't help but let out a triumphant roar. One that would normally announce to the world that a new deity is born. Well, no one hears it because I am stuck in this realm. Or am I?
That is when the entire realm begins to ripple. Suddenly a small shadow appears in the middle. One that soon sheds the mysteriousness and reveals its youthful appearance.
The newcor is but a kid that likes to play with bugs. The one that calls himself the Eternal Gu Breeder. Talk about weird timing. He cos forward.
[You'll submit, won't you? You were strong in the Earth Realm, but against , you are nothing.]
I do not even bother to answer.
[Playing mute, are you? It doesn't matter. You will remain stuck here until you submit. Wouldn't you want to go on a walk sotis? All you need to do is swear allegiance to . Simple, isn't it?]
I hate this cocky kid. That's when he cos nearby and even starts kicking my body while laughing. He cos so very close. I slowly position myself above him, my maw right above his head.
[Trying to intimidate ? Please, how dumb are you? Should I make your leash even smaller? Perhaps even more painful?]
He's grinning, showing a sadistic smile.
[I'll just How?! This isn't possible! Where is it?!]
He has noticed that I am free. But it's too late. Before he can react, I am already gobbling this asshole up. At first, he's scoffing. But then, he feels it. I have attained divinity too.
[No! Stop! AHHH--]
*CRUNCH*
*GULP*
Ah, it is only now that I realize how wise that being was. Why eat Gus when I can eat deities. Let us start the hunt, shall we?
