When Han Sen looked closer, he realized that the circles around the snake kingâs neck werenât actually eyes; they were six spinning cogwheels. He didnât know what the six cogwheels did, though.
âQuickly, we must go!â Li Keer shouted at Han Sen. She was on the verge of using Godâs Wander to escape that place.
But before she could teleport away, she saw that the space around her had already been turned on its head. The entire universe appeared to be spinning like a hungry vortex.
Han Sen also tried to teleport away, but he found that he couldnât tear space and escape through it like he would need to. It was like he had lost his connection to the outside world.
âOh no! Weâre trapped in Six Space. In this Six Space, all of space follows the rules set by the Six Core God Snake. Your space powers wonât be of any use here.â Li Keer was in shock.
Han Sen wasnât frightened by this enemy, though. He noticed that the Six Core God Snake was looking steadily at his head. Clearly, it was after the small Crocodile God.
The small Crocodile God was very young, and it didnât yet know what fear meant. Seeing the Six Core God Snake look at it, the little creature simply stared back. It then roared proudly at the Six Core God Snake.
Han Sen knew the small Crocodile God commanding the snake to follow and be its little brother.
The Six Core God Snake appeared to understand, and it screamed back with immense rage. It opened its mouth and unleashed some space substance chains. They flew toward the small Crocodile God like an aurora trailing through space.
Han Sen quickly evaded them, and the small Crocodile God flew forward. In all its boisterous glory, it fancied taking on the Six Core God Snake all by itself. It wanted to teach the huge creature a lesson.
It made this decision because of Han Senâs constant compliments, no doubt. Han Sen had been going on and on about how powerful and almighty the small Crocodile God was. He had filled the creatureâs head with nonsense, as if it was the strongest creature in existence. He had even claimed that every race would treat it like a god. He said people would admire and show great love to the little crocodile. He said every creature would want to become its subordinate.
The poor, naive little Crocodile God thought its mother was the most people being in the universe, and that it was number two. It thought all other creatures were tiny by comparison, so it wasnât going to stand for the Six Core God Snakeâs offense.
Han Sen hadnât run far before coming to a stop. He wanted to watch the fight between the snake and crocodile.
âRun! The small Crocodile God isnât a worthy opponent for the Six Core God Snake. We should leave now before it is too late,â Exquisite said, flying over to Han Sen.
âThe small Crocodile Godâs power should be as good as a primitive deified here, right? Can anything else in the core area be stronger than it?â Han Sen asked.
âThe Six Core God Snake is one of the strongest xenogeneics in the core area,â Li Keer explained. âThe snake isnât as strong as the big Crocodile God, but it is as good as a primitive can get. Plus, its space powers are so strong, and in addition to the fighting experience it has compared to the little Crocodile God... Well, the newborn Crocodile God doesnât really stand a chance of fighting back.â
Pang!
What Li Keer said immediately came true. There was a loud noise, and when Han Sen turned to take a look, he saw that the little Crocodile God had been sent flying away by the Six Core God Snake. The little creature rolled end over end through space. It eventually hit a planet, and the planet blew up.
âSo strong!â Han Sen thought in shock. He took the bronze furnace with him as he flew away. The space around them was under the snakeâs control, so they couldnât teleport away. Even Exquisite and Li Keer were forced to fly away instead of teleporting.
The space behind them seemed to groan with a strange sound. Han Sen couldnât help but look back. There, he saw that the small Crocodile Godâs face was swollen and discolored. It started to cry. Its small eyes were streaming with tears.
âIâm sorry, little Crocodile God. You canât beat him, and neither can I. At least you are a deified xenogeneic. You should just run while you still have the chance to. Donât take it out on me. We arenât being cruel, here. You took us as hostages, remember? We are enemies,â Han Sen said over his shoulder as he flew.
Han Sen followed the Very High women as they flew away, but some unexpected pangs of regret were striking Han Senâs heart. He thought that the teary eyes of the small Crocodile God were meant for him.
âSo... why did the Six Core God Snake want to kill the small Crocodile God?â Han Sen asked Li Keer as he continued flying.
âThe Six Core God Snake is one of the rare core xenogeneics that can evolve. Its name wasnât always Six Core God Snake. It used to be known as the Two Core God Snake. Its neck only had two cogwheels back then. Whenever it eats a deified core gene, it can create another cogwheel, and its power increases. It now has six cores, and so the power it has should make it the most powerful primitive deified out there. Plus, it has scary space powers. It isnât like the Gold Armor General or those other core deified xenogeneics,â Li Keer explained.
âDoes the Six Core God Snake have a weakness?â Han Sen asked with a frown.
âIt does. Its power is very strong, but core xenogeneics always have flaws. The same applies to the Six Core God Snake. Its weakness is those cogwheels. Four of them were obtained by eating four other deified xenogeneics. They arenât as good as the creatureâs original cogwheels. That is its weakness,â Li Keer said.
âYou guys should go on ahead,â Han Sen said. Then, he suddenly flew back.
âWhat are you doing?â Li Keer and Exquisite asked in confusion. They werenât quite sure what Han Sen was planning.
âYou guys should leave now. Iâm going back to watch,â Han Sen said. He felt something weird in his heart, and so he decided to go back.
âIs he going to save that small Crocodile God?â Li Keer watched Han Sen leave. She couldnât believe that what she said was actually happening.
âHe is controlled by his emotions way too much. He will be at a constant disadvantage like that. While his talents are exceptional, he is too dangerous to take on as a silkworm,â Exquisite said emotionlessly.
âBut if I was trapped and couldnât fight back, I wish there was someone out there driven by an emotion that made them want to save me,â Li Keer said with a conflicted expression.
âEverything must die. With an attitude like that, your practice with the Very High Sense will not go very far.â Exquisite frowned.
The small Crocodile God had been captured by space substance chains. It hung in space, unable to move. Thankfully, its body was too strong for the chains to dig into its scaled flesh. The space substance kept hitting it, but the blows could only make the small creature bleed.
The Six Core God Snake was staring down at the small Crocodile God like a hungry demon. Its substance chains kept raging, lashing the little creature over and over.
The small Crocodile God continued to cry out as more and more bloody wounds appeared across its body.
The small Crocodile Godâs powers werenât enough to break the space substance chains. It was unable to avoid the hits. It was just hanging where it was, being lashed over and over. Streaks of blood ran down its body. Although it wasnât heavily injured, it was in agony. Its tears streamed off its face to fall like droplets of rain.
