My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 48: Demonic Beast Siege?

Demonic Beast Siege!?
Within the enhanced perspective of the Eye of Truth, a colossal, blackish-red mushroom cloud, like a massive dome-shaped warship, blotted out the sky.
It moved like a jellyfish, constantly contracting and propelling itself, treating the sky as its ocean, drifting aimlessly.
The reason I say "like" and not an actual jellyfish…
…is because it had no tentacles. Instead, dozens of pale, human-like arms struggled outward, like drowning people reaching out for help, desperate to escape a terrifying, hellish prison.
Yet, this very action served as the mushroom cloud's source of propulsion.
And at the center of these arms were several oral arms lined with sharp teeth, constantly opening and closing as if devouring plankton.
They chewed incessantly, and combined with its nearly dozen-meter-tall frame, it left a path of shadow wherever it went, carrying the staggering impact of an eclipse.
Those with megalophobia would faint on the spot.
Its drifting was not aimless. Even from a great distance, Lu Yu could sense the emotion of hunger faintly emanating from those writhing teeth.
And as it passed through its shadowed path, all the demonic beasts that failed to escape fell into a rigid state. Their eyes gradually lost their color, and they collapsed.
Their souls floated up like plankton, hovering beside it, only to be swallowed and chewed by the fanged oral arms as they opened and closed.
The corpses of these demonic beasts were quickly swarmed and devoured by others.
Although, in the process, a few unlucky ones who rushed in too eagerly entered the hunting range prematurely and had their souls stolen as well.
While feeding the mysterious creature above, their flesh and blood nourished the other demonic beasts, strengthening their souls in preparation for the next hunt.
In this scene, there were no grand battlefields, no dazzling skill effects—only an eerie, bone-chilling silence.
From a distance, it formed a twisted and bizarre ecological chain!
Wherever it passed, only a disaster-ridden ruin remained!
"What in the world is that thing!?"
Lu Yu was shocked, but he didn't dare flee.
Coming out now would only make him a target. Little Spider's spatial Blink would never be enough to escape this thing's pursuit, so the best method was to remain silent.
Thus, he could only watch as the mushroom cloud drifted directly above his head.
There was no unusual reaction!
Just as Lu Yu was about to sigh in relief, the light before him suddenly dimmed, and a chaotic, cacophonous sound echoed in his ears:
"Hungry… so hungry…"
"Pain… so much pain…"
"Why… why won't you save me…"
"…"
The shrieking wails of tens of thousands of souls overlapped, transforming into a kind of spiritual assault that eroded Lu Yu's reason.
His expression turned dazed, as if he had sunk into a mental mire.
Little Spider frowned slightly.
Relying on her Mind's Eye and the blindfold, she overcame it with ease, but the sound still made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Oh no, I already warned him! How did this foolish Cultivator still fall for it? Wake up!"
The little Hamster, long accustomed to the assault, quickly regained its senses.
But when it turned and saw the stupefied Lu Yu, it frantically called out through Telepathy, receiving no response.
An anxious look appeared on its cute face.
It knew just how terrifying that thing was. It spread a special magnetic field, and one could fall prey to it with the slightest carelessness.
The only way to survive was to lie on the ground, cover one's ears, empty one's mind, and think of nothing. The more you looked at it, the more your emotions fluctuated, and the deeper you would fall into the magnetic field.
Then your soul would become sluggish, eventually being cut apart bit by bit like jelly, sucked into the giant mushroom cloud, and devoured until nothing was left but an empty shell of a body.
If its soul wasn't exceptionally resilient and capable of self-repair, it would have died countless times already.
But it was also because of its powerful soul that it had seen the creature's true form the very first time, nearly dying from the pain. It was a blessing and a curse.
Little Mouse's eyes darted about in thought. It felt that if this continued, the Pervert Cultivator before it would likely have his soul sucked out and become an empty shell.
Logically, if this guy died, Little Mouse would be free. It should be happy.
It hesitated…
"Although this human attacked without a word, it seems I was also at fault. I shouldn't have deliberately scared him, or he wouldn't have shown up… No, it's all the Pervert Cultivator's fault! I just think this trembling human gives good massages and can't bear to lose a masseur…"
Besides, Spider Girl was still watching over it from the side.
If the human died, she might kill Little Mouse to vent her anger.
That's right, that's it.
Little Mouse was only going to save him to protect its own life!
It was just to confuse this human, make him feel moved enough to release it, and then give it a mountain of snacks. Perhaps it could even go a step further and trick him into becoming Little Mouse's exclusive servant, giving it massages every day.
Then it would make him repent for all the bad things he did to Little Mouse every single day.
"Hehe…"
Thinking of that wonderful future, the corners of Little Mouse's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Then it abruptly snapped out of it, shook its head, and wiped the drool from its mouth.
"Pervert Cultivator, Little Mouse is here to save you!"
Although its upper body was bound, that wouldn't stop it.
The Hamster kicked off with its two short legs and leaped up, its body arcing through the air toward Lu Yu, preparing to awaken him with this 'Little Mouse Cannon' attack.
However, just as it reached mid-air, a hand grabbed it by the scruff of its fated neck.
Before Little Mouse could even struggle, it saw Lu Yu—who in its eyes was already trapped in the Soul Magnetic Field and about to have his soul devoured—turn his head to stare at it and tease:
"Are you… trying to take me down with you?"
He had just been spacing out. Why did this hamster launch a suicide attack?
Little Mouse stared at the unharmed Lu Yu, its round eyes wide, exclaiming through Telepathy:
"Your soul wasn't eroded by that thing?"
"Eroded?"
Lu Yu looked as if he had heard a joke.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He said nothing more, but it was the greatest show of contempt.
As a man who had faced the Taboo Sun without being corrupted and possessed the Taboo Vest 【Primeval Shadow】, his soul pollution resistance was already maxed out.
The mysterious Soul Magnetic Field just now couldn't even compare to one ten-thousandth of the mental shock from a single 【Beast】, let alone the 【Taboo Sun】.
As expected, after having his mind expanded into a grand highway, a small car like this didn't even register. He could even shout, "I can take on ten of you!"
However, although he was spacing out, he had kept part of his attention on the Shadow Clipping Rat.
He had thought it was going to run, but it turned out it thought he had fallen prey to the attack and wanted to save him.
"It really is stupidly cute…"
Lu Yu murmured softly.
His mind drifted back to the little hamster he bought for 9.9 yuan at a pet market after working late one night, right after he started his first job.
It helped him relieve a lot of work-related stress and get through a difficult time.
At this thought, a hint of softness flickered in Lu Yu's eyes.
Then, amidst strange cries of "Don't… stop… stop it," and "Ungrateful Pervert Cultivator," he continued to knead the plump, pleasantly textured little Hamster, his mind pondering the information that had made him space out.
【Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud】
【Strength: ???】
【Racial Potential: ??】
【Skills: ???】
【Description: ???】
This was the first time Lu Yu had encountered a string of question marks since awakening the Eye of Truth.
As for the Taboo Sun?
He ended up in the hospital right after seeing it, with no information provided. The Taboo Cursed Seal was a manifestation of his own memories.
It wasn't that the Eye of Truth had grown weaker, but that its use required Spirituality. The higher the level of the subject, the more Spirituality was needed—a kind of invisible protection.
In other words, the power gap between Lu Yu and the Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud was too vast. Even if he exhausted all his spiritual power, he would at most get a glimpse of fragmented information, which wasn't worth the cost.
However, he could speculate that it was at least a top-tier Overlord, or perhaps even a demonic beast above the Overlord Rank.
Lu Yu waited quietly for the Soul-Detaining Demonic Cloud to leave after it had its fill, only to find that after devouring the souls of several hundred demonic beasts, it didn't stop moving.
Instead, it changed direction.
This action made Lu Yu's breath catch in his throat.
Because the direction the Soul-Detaining Demonic Cloud was headed was none other than Great Abyss City.
Could this be…
A Demonic Beast Siege?
