Lord of the Truth

Chapter 743  Ambition and blood -1

Somewhere far far away, deep in the darkest depths of the universe--- Poison Rock Planet *Rumble* *Clatter*

The purple sky became turbulent as usual, a rain of a mixture of water and purple corrosive poison fell on the poor humans running beneath it.

Everyone fled right and left like crazy, some of them managed to hide under one of the short withered purple bushes... And some of the smart ones who did not go far away from their cabins for fear of the rain quickly entered their safe cabins and closed their broken doors, those *safe cabins* had their ceiling covered with the same dry purple branches...

Neither these nor those would be able to fully avoid the damage of the poisonous rain today, but they are much better than many others. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ah! Ah!!"

"My eyes! My eyes!!"

The streets that were filled with life a little while ago suddenly turned into a ghost town, half of the bypassers hid and the rest fell to the ground in pain, or died...

"Take shelter here with me, my son!!" A human female in shabby clothes pulled a child no more than six years old under the balcony of a luxurious house

*Terrrrrshhh*

The mother looked at the heavy rain and her lips trembled. The rain does not kill anyone who touches it instantly, but it erodes the skin and causes terrible pain, and if it is heavy enough, it penetrates the flesh and bones until the person disappears completely. If they go back to running in this heavy rain, their fate is inevitable death.

"Mother, we should not get this close to a master's house. We do not have any master in our family. If they catch us soiling the walls, a disaster will befall us." The little boy did not blink an eyelid when the poisonous rain fell, nor when the purple winds began to crumble the walls of the human cabins, this was not new to them as every few weeks, these human cabins would be rebuilt from scratch... But he shuddered when they approached that house!

 Then she smiled at her little one, "It's okay, No one will notice us in this heavy rain. We'll be fine, okay? We'll be fine..."

The boy continued to tremble for a few moments before his eyes fell on a small stable near the balcony. There stood a creature that looked like a mixture between a horse and a lizard. Above its head was a roof made of anti-corrosion stones like those used in building the masters' houses. In front of the horse, there was a large number of dead frogs as food. The child returned to bury his head in his mother's chest, crying, "...That horse lives better than us, mother. Why do they treat us this way, Mother? Why does a drop of blood make such a difference, Mother? Why do we-- Ahh!!"

A drop of rain fell on the boy's heel and he screamed his lungs out, a scream that tore his mother's heart. All she could do was hold him tighter to her, but she did not dare to take the next step toward the wall for fear of touching it.

All she had to do was steal a quick glance at the horse, then cry on her son's head.

...Ten thousand years ago, this planet was like any other, full of warring kingdoms and small empires, full of different races and grudges that knew no end... Until something happened that changed the course of history.

The leader of the human race, His Majesty King Pythor, left the war and everything behind him burning, he only took his close followers and left for the Beast's Hole, the forbidden area for all intelligent beings... During their absence, the humans lost several fortresses and many important lands, the good thing is that the King's apense was not too long, and when the king appeared again, he announced that they had managed to injure Durger the Devourer and collect a jar of his blood.

Humans at that time did not know what to do with this information... This was really great news. Durger the Devourer is a great serpent beast that wreaks havoc on the entire world when he gets bored. Legends say that he possesses poison that can destroy everything in existence! ...Causing it injury was good and all, but did the king have to go fight with him at a time like this? He even sacrificed three of his most powerful generals for a jar of blood?!

But the surprising news did not stop there. Immediately afterward, the human king turned into a hideous creature, resembling a mixture between a snake and a human! But the king did not seem to mind, on the contrary, he was extremely happy and announced that the experiment had succeeded and that he had broken through into a new Realm called the Martial Emperor Realm, and that they should call him the Serpent King from that day forward!

He even leaked information to the entire planet... He told everyone that he had communicated with a supreme being. That being was the one who told him to obtain the blood of Durger the Devourer and that if he succeeded, he would be accepted as his follower and would give him a way to make him obtain supernatural power by using that blood... And it was.

Immediately afterward, the human race was surprised that the king had turned his close followers into ugly beasts like himself.

At first, the humans thought it was some kind of black magic or that their enemies had done something to their leader or that they had changed him, but a series of events made people believe his story little by little...

He began setting up workshops to manufacture what is known as engraved equipment, extremely powerful weapons, and armor that completely changed the course of the war. Then he set up what he called a space portal that makes whoever enters it disappear and appears in another place! Then he created ships that would fly in the air and launch power attacks with giant energy cannons!!

The appearance of all these advantages at the same time granted the human kingdom successive victories over its enemies. Within a few short years, humans doubled the area of territory under their control, which gave them enormous confidence in their beast king, to the point that they turned a blind eye to his hellish appearance.

But again, when the battles were at their peak, the Serpent King's madness flared up again and he decided to attack the beast hole again, this time using the entire human army!

On that day, humanity lost millions of its righteous sons, and half of its generals perished as well... But this time, the Serpent King won several barrels of blood.

When the enemies of the human kingdom tried to take advantage of the collapse of their army and dealt them a devastating blow, they found a great surprise... The Serpent King became larger in size and his face became paler. The numbers of his mutant generals also increased, and not only them, but there were thousands of demi-humans in the army this time!

In fact, the surprise was not only for them but even the human army itself was surprised by the appearance of these creatures on their side. A few nights ago, the strongest soldiers among them were chosen and they were transported to the royal palace, and this was the first time they saw them after that, They saw them after they were transformed into half-beasts.

The battle ended quickly that day, hundreds of purple clouds annihilating everyone who stood in their way in a terrifying display of power that struck terror into the hearts of all enemies, and the hearts of all humans as well.
