Chapter 562 Bargain Rowan's current size was difficult to comprehend, but the creature that stepped forward from the darkness was at least a hundred times bigger than him. Shaped like a giant caterpillar with billions of legs, the other end of the creature had disappeared into the darkness and Rowan could not determine its full length, but what truly drew his attention was the head of the creature, which was a thing out of horror. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 Its face was just countless sharp yellow teeth that appeared to be decaying, and they were all releasing a large amount of white powdery substance whenever it made any move. The powdery substance had coated its entire body, giving it a sickly appearance. When it talked, the sound that emerged came from it rubbing the untold trillions of teeth together. With the size of this thing, if it ever found its way into the universe, then in a short while, it should be able to devour an entire galaxy. The presence of whatever this thing was finally shattered the last resisting souls of the gods inside Rowan's Mental Space, and a flood of Soul Crystals became heaped in a large mound. Rowan's cold eyes looked at this creature, which should be the most powerful thing he had ever come across in his life. The aura escaping from it was nonexistent, yet it was still present and pervasive like having your face shoved into a rotten corpse. Rowan could detect the soul from the creature, how could he not, for it was shining as bright as a star, and unlike any being he had ever seen inside the material universe, the soul of this Creature was woven in every fiber of its being. 'Is this the next step after the Immortal Souls of the gods and Archmages? The Soul and the body would unite and become one.' Rowan was deeply intrigued, 'Did it make it harder or easier for his Soul devouring ability to work on creatures like this? He was interrupted in his short musing by the irritated chittering of the creature, who seemed to be earnestly waiting for his reply. Rowan smiled, "Eh, I will have to say no to that delightful offer." From the crown of stars in his head whispering sweet words of conquest and dominance to every single cell in his body, he sent a beam of starlight that could span across an entire universe towards the creature. This beam of starlight drew the power of all his bodily attributes and compressed it into light. He did not know how powerful this beam was, but he knew he would be able to kill a million of his previous self with it. Its power would have easily vaporized his fragile flesh into nothingness, punched its way into his Mental Space, and turned his City of Sheol, his Tree of Desire, and all his Dominion to nothingness in the blink of an eye. Before a power like this, his fragile immortality while inside the universe, could as well be nonexistent. The starlight pierced through the massive energy streams outside the universe, tearing through them before it slammed into the creature…. and it was unfazed. The horrific face consisting of endless teeth opened up and exposed the insides of it that were filled with countless purple stars, worlds, and even hundreds of galaxies, and like the story Rowan had just recalled in his mind of Erohim drinking starlight from the TeaCup, the creature began to drink the starlight from his attack. Rowan grunted in shock, feeling his body begin to abruptly weaken, "Amazing," he gasped aloud, this creature resembled a monster, but it was manipulating energy in such a way that was beyond what he could fathom. Rowan could see the starlight being visibly broken down into various pieces, some of them turning to solid blocks where they were carted to the various planets inside its body, some were turned to purple lights that were fed to the stars it carried and so many other dazzling processes that he could not describe. Before his eyes, the many galaxies inside the head of the creature began to thrive. This being seemed like a universe on its own, and Rowan knew he could not win this fight, everything he did would just end up feeding it, he had the power, but not the knowledge to properly utilize it. He could struggle for a while, but this was not the purpose he was here, and besides, even though the power he controlled was amazing, its roots did not dwell with him, and the creature presented an opportunity for him to get rid of this power. All the slaughter inside the universe had given Rowan a total of 73 Consciousness Pillars, it was enough to hold back the power of Chaos and maintain this massive body. Just keeping his body in operation was taking more than thirty consciousness pillars! If a god's Immortal Soul were to inhabit his current body, it would not even last a second before it would be fried to nothingness. Rowan stopped shooting starlight at the creature and called out, "You want my shell? What are you willing to pay for it?" The creature paused for a moment, as it seemed as if it was still drunk on Rowan's power before it went still like a rock, and Rowan did not expect what happened next. Rowan had detected the creature a while back, and it did not make any violent gestures towards Rowan, nor did he sense any ill will from it. It had approached Rowan with an offer at first even though the way it worded it sounded strange. He was willing to bet that a creature of this level, disregarding its horrifying appearance must be amenable to reason, and even if it was not, Rowan still had a few methods he could use to escape because he could now focus and access his Chambers without any issue. "Trrcccshhh…. Bargain… Yes?....Srrccchsss…. We love….Trsshhhrr… Bargains…. Rrssshhhrr… Look at my wares…. Resshhhrr…. Let us bargain… yes!" From its open face, items ranging from the size of planets to galaxies began to emerge, until seven distinct treasures emitting brilliant light appeared before Rowan. "What the hell is this?" he gasped.
