I, the creator of the evil god!

Chapter 6: A Night of Battling Monsters under the Dark Moon

The spider monster seemed uninterested in his screams. Its maw, filled with grotesque mouthparts, opened wide, spitting out a mass of white silk that enveloped him, quickly turning him into a large cocoon!

Like a captured insect, he would be dissolved by the venom within the cocoon and devoured by the swarm of spiders.

“Help! Where’s the military?”

“Where’s the Special Division? I don’t want to die!”

“Don’t take my child!”

On the ground, a mass of people ran frantically, but the spiders were fast, easily catching up to them!

The monsters’ horrifying mouthparts pierced into their victims, injecting venom that weakened their resistance. They soon became lethargic, slipping into an unending slumber.

The spiders carried them to their webs, wrapping them in silk until they formed huge, grotesque cocoons.

Dozens of white cocoons dangled from the web, some still squirming as their occupants struggled, though escape seemed impossible.

From afar, the scene resembled a nightmarish painting—a twisted creation of a macabre artist.

At that moment, Lu Yu deeply realized humanity’s frailty. People had become nothing more than prey, left at the monsters’ mercy.

The brutal reality of this world hit him hard. It wasn’t a game—it was deadly serious.

“I remember the city should have a defense system… Why hasn’t it activated despite all this destruction?”

The thought weighed heavily on Lu Yu. Humanity’s survival depended on the city’s powerful defenses against these otherworldly monsters.

But now, something had clearly gone wrong—the system seemed half-disabled!

Anger ignited in his chest as he watched more people fall victim to the spiders. His gaze shifted to the ritual chamber he’d seen earlier, where the eerie, purple light grew stronger, writhing like the claws of a demonic beast.

As more humans were cocooned, the sinister glow intensified, exuding an increasingly dreadful aura.

“Is this… part of the ritual?”

Lu Yu realized the spiders weren’t consuming their prey—they were offering them as sacrifices to the Spider God from the Dream Abyss, praying for a reward.

If left unchecked, they might summon a divine emissary—or worse, an avatar of the Spider God!

The true form of an evil god could never manifest here; the world’s laws would reject it unless the entire city were offered in sacrifice.

But even a high-level monster summoned by the ritual could destroy the entire city!

Lu Yu clenched his fists. He had to act—but he wouldn’t be reckless. He had a plan.

“Fear Balloon, come down here!”

At his call, the yellow balloon with a sinister face floating near the ceiling stirred, showing an eager expression as it descended.

“Wait!” Lu Yu quickly shouted.

But it was too late. The Fear Balloon had forgotten that its string was tied to a chandelier. As it surged downward, the chandelier came crashing down with a thunderous bang, dragging the balloon to the floor.

“Eeeeek!”

The Fear Balloon wailed in panic, unable to grasp what had just happened.

“You silly thing…”

Lu Yu rolled his eyes, wondering how such a ridiculous creature could be rated a two-star monster. Was it secretly a mischievous dog in disguise?

Still, his Hellfire Whip had come from this very monster. What if the balloon unleashed its true power?

He untied the balloon’s string, letting it float freely again. It circled Lu Yu excitedly, much like a pet dog seeking attention.

Lu Yu’s mouth twitched, though he kept his expression calm. He addressed the balloon:

“Xiao Qi, you’re a two-star monster—act with some dignity!”

“Xiao Qi” was the name he’d given the balloon, based on the Chinese character for “seven,” which sounded like “Qi.”

The balloon’s grotesque face twisted in confusion but remained excited, trusting that its master was always right.

With a faint smile, Lu Yu retrieved a faceless mask from his room and put it on.

Staring at the emotionless mask in the mirror, he whispered:

“I don’t care what kind of evil god you are. This is humanity’s land—you’re going back to where you came from!”

Grasping the Fear Balloon’s string, Lu Yu strode forward, declaring:

“Xiao Qi, it’s time to hunt for monster materials!”
