Chapter 2212: Chomp Chomp
"Where am I exactly?" Adrian muttered but his mouth did not open.
He heard his voice, but it was like he was hearing himself from inside of his brain. The area he was in was incredibly terrifying and beautiful at the same time. He was in a place deep inside his subconscious that even the Noblesse inner demon could not reach.
This place looked like he was at the deep vast space as he could see stars of different colors twinkling. He could even see some of them exploding and creating powerful black holes that sucked in everything around them. Adrian himself found himself at the center of a black hole, but he was unaffected by it. He was freely floating at the very center of it and protected from the exploding stars.
"Am I inside of my subconscious? But why am I here? If I died, then I should have been sent to the afterlife." Adrian asked himself but he felt that it was the correct answer.
Adrian could only look around as his entire body was heavy. He thought that this might be something like a passing dream because he died. He often would drift somewhere when he dies as he does not immediately enter Limbo. Seeing that he could not do anything other than enjoy the moment, Adrian looked around him as he could only turn his body around and not move.
"Strange?" Adrian stated as he noticed something strange when he looked at the cosmos around him.
The cosmos around him looked like it folded, or it is a meeting of two large entities. He could not point a finger on what it is, but he could make out the shape of a tree or rather two trees. He looked above and it felt like the tree that formed due to his imagination is made up of aether energy. He then looked down to see an imaginary large tree emitting energy akin to nether energy.
"A place in the middle where the roots collide. It feels like this place is a real place, but it must be inside my subconscious. How many layers are there? I asked my friends, but they said that they do not have subconsciousness like I do. The only ones that have something like it are Levin Cloud and Creepysoo, but they said it looks different for them.
Adrian deduced that beings that are related to life or death have a subconscious. Still, each of the subconscious are different depending on the trait of the person. Levin Cloud has a subconscious that is a large forest where half of it is teeming with life while the other is dead and dry. Creepysoo has one as well but his is just a graveyard with a large mausoleum.
"Is having different forms the cause why my own subconscious has layers? It is incredibly strange if that is the case." Adrian muttered as he suddenly felt an unknown presence enter his subconscious.
He was inside of the black hole when he felt a foreign entity enter the depths of his mind. The body that was almost immobile suddenly jolted awake as if he was an eager white blood cell attacking viruses. Adrian did not know why but he felt that he needed to destroy whatever entity this was that entered his mind.
Adrian looked up as a shadow-like entity appeared before him. This shadow-like entity looked like a phantom where it only has an upper body with sharp claws. The head is not even present as only the upper body could be seen, and it did not even have eyes. Adrian felt that this entity must be eliminated at all costs which is why he transformed his body into a miniature version of his Netheros True Form.
Unlike in the real world, the world of the subconscious can do anything as long as you have the mental capacity for it. Inside of the subconscious, the most powerful entity would be the owner of the body unless they are mentally unstable. The shadow-like entity faced Adrian and charged towards him as if it discovered that he was a threat. Adrian did not panic as he just tore the shadow-like entity into shreds with ease.
"That was easy, but I should have kept my mouth shut." Adrian stated as the shadow-like entity exploded into nothingness when Adrian shredded it but then he noticed more of them appearing.

In the pocket dimension of the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains painting...
Adrian could be seen almost at his last breath, but he uttered that he was hungry. The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi thought that this was strange as a last sentence, but he suddenly felt an incredible danger that made his body turn cold. As if his body instinctively knew that he must flee, the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi tried to run away and even ignored killing Adrian. He tried to flee but he was too late because the sleeping entity within Adrian's subconscious awakened due to smelling the energy that the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi devoured.
"Hungry!" Adrian stated once more but his body that looked humanoid suddenly turned into something different.
Adrian's body suddenly turned into a glowing humanoid cosmos. He no longer had eyes but only a mouth that had sharp teeth. The hands that looked human suddenly turned into claws that pierced through the body of the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi. Adrian's clothes even turned into something like a cosmic fog that flickered in and out of existence. The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi felt it as the being in front of him now had the same energy as the Fragment of Chaos.
"Hungry!" Adrian stated as he suddenly took a bite of the leg that pinned him down.
"Argh!" The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi shouted in pain because he really felt his body being broken down.
"Stay back!" The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi shouted as he suddenly created numerous spikes to trap Adrian.
"Still hungry... you smell good. You smell like me." Adrian stated as his head looked towards the direction of the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi.
The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi felt a chill looking at a being that had no eyes. He also had no eyes, but this is different compared to him. Adrian might look like he had no eyes, but it felt like a million eyes were staring at the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi and thinking that he was prey. The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi knew that this was no longer the demon he was fighting before. This was an entity that should never be born into the world or beings like him will never be safe.
"I must escape while he is obstructed." The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi muttered to himself, but he suddenly heard harsh chewing noises from behind him.
The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi looked behind and saw Adrian munching on the spikes that pierced his body. The creepier thing is that he transformed the pierced parts of his body into mouths that devoured the spikes inserted in that area. It was not just one munching sound but at least ten of them chewing simultaneously.
"I must get out of here!" The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi thought to himself as he quickly found the hole that Adrian punched through earlier.
The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi looked around to find the area where the pocket dimension was pierced. He located the area where the space was weakened and prepared to fly with all of his remaining strength. He turned around for one final time to see if the being that the demon became is still occupied and it was.
"Time to go." The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi thought to himself as he turned to look at the direction of the hole, but he suddenly jumped in fear.
"Hungry!" Adrian stated as he suddenly appeared in front of the Greater God Amatsu- Mikaboshi and proceeded to try and bite the head of the latter.
The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi used every remaining ounce of strength that he had to twist his head away and succeeded. He succeeded in saving his head, but his shoulder was the area bitten instead. The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi flinched in unbearable pain as he finally knew why he feels the pain. His very essence was being devoured by the thing that the demon became.
"No! This cannot be the end of me! I am the shadow of a High Goddess! A being created from the dark chaos energy that circulated inside of the Void. I will never succumb to being devoured by an accursed being!" The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi thought but he could not move as they crashed to the ground.
The Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi suddenly felt his body become powerful as if it was his last-ditch effort. He even created a powerful field of spikes that impaled the accursed being. He laughed as he picked up the Orb of Order as the demon died but that was all in his imagination. With Adrian's head suddenly becoming incredibly large and his jaw becoming the same size, a loud crunch could be heard as he ate the Greater God Amatsu-Mikaboshi
entirely.
