Buzz!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!!
It was as if a deafening roar had erupted in his brain!
Shen Du felt dizzy and disoriented.
His head felt heavy, his feet light.
He couldn't even open his eyes.
Even the power he possessed was inexplicably suppressed, as if the rules of the world had drastically changed, reverting to a distant, ancient era.
He suddenly opened his eyes!
Two bolts of lightning shot out into the far distance.
Only then did he realize that he had appeared in a deep mountain forest.
The sky was dim.
You couldn't see your fingers.
You could only make out the outlines of things in the distance, the contours of hills and mountains!
The air was filled with a foul energy!
A beast roared not far away.
It was just like the ancient times in the Lord's memory!
A chaotic, wild era!
In this era, the Earth's gods had not yet grown up, and were still traveling in the Midgard.
Even Odin, the Allfather, held Mjolnir, searching for the truth of the universe!
As for Kamar-Taj?
K'un-Lun?
Taro Village?
Wakanda?
They were also nowhere to be found!
It seemed that none of the Eight Demon Gods had sworn brotherhood, and even the real Lord hadn't gathered all Twelve Zodiacs. He was still a helpless, toothless cub, constantly facing threats to his life!
"Transmigration?"
"Rebirth?"
"Or an illusion?"
Shen Du frowned.
However.
There was still no clear answer.
Because all he remembered was the Scarlet Witch using Chaos Magic, trying to affect the Books of Ages!
Then, a massive explosion rocked the world! It seemed like the Books of Ages had been reduced to ashes!
Huh? No Australia?
Wait a minute!
The Earth was still a single, complete continent? It hadn't undergone plate tectonics yet? "Hiss!"
"Pangaea!"
"This is an era of chaos that the Lord barely remembers!"
"The end of the ancient times, the beginning of the primordial era!"
"Even the God of the Underworld, Chthon, might still exist!"
Shen Du's eyes narrowed to pinpricks.
He felt a genuine sense of awe towards the God of the Underworld.
After all, he possessed the Parchment written by the God of the Underworld.
It was known as the Book of the Dead.
The Chthon Scroll.
The source of all Black Magic!
The Darkhold!
Whether it was the Old Ones or the Elder Gods, they could almost see the past and the future. Their ranks were above the Celestial, entering another level of life.
Even the rules of the universe couldn't restrain Chthon!
The changing of eras is, in essence, a process of balancing yin and yang!
In the not-too-distant future, the Multiverse will be opened up, further reducing the influence of the Old Ones and the Elder Gods. The Celestial Host will also truly take center stage in history!
"Books of Ages..."
"Is the carrier of the sleeping Celestial."
"Could it be..."
"At this time, Arishem the Judge had already implanted a Celestial Embryo deep within the Earth?"
Shen Du kept speculating.
Pondering.
Yet, no one could verify his hypothesis.
Even the Scarlet Witch was missing.
He couldn't determine the location of Australia, so there was no way to go to Mount Wundagore, let alone get his hands on the Books of Ages!
Forget it.
When in Rome! Anyway, his abilities weren't weakened in the slightest.
Even the five Infinity Stones could still function.
Right!
The Time Stone!
Shen Du's eyebrows raised slightly. He opened his palm, and a jade-green gem immediately appeared in his hand.
This!
Is the Time Stone!
It can see the past and the future, allowing one to stop at any point in time.
Even witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties is no problem.
Then, he used the Time Stone and saw scene after scene, and his smile gradually faded.
His entire person became extremely gloomy.
"How is this possible?"
"Me?"
"No way?"
Shen Du narrowed his eyes slightly.
He almost suspected he was hallucinating.
Or—
The Time Stone had shown him the wrong future!
However.
The Time Stone couldn't make mistakes.
And it had no reason to deceive him!
"Sigh!"
"Damn it!"
"It's so complicated to get back to my timeline?"
Shen Du couldn't help but force a smile.
Then, his body flickered, and he immediately moved away from this deep mountain forest.
He arrived at the place where the Lord once resided!
The Lord.
His real name is Shen Du.
As one of the Twelve Zodiacs, he controls the power of fire.
Besides that, there was nothing else.
However.
The unchanging days of many years had made him tired of his own weakness! And so! He chose to fall and become a Demon Sorcerer! He began to hunt down the other Zodiacs!
To reclaim the Zodiac Power of the noble animals! However, the other noble animals weren't made of dough either; mysterious bloodlines flowed within them, and even the Old Ones and Elder Gods might not be able to kill them!
Let alone the mere Lord?
Dragons! At the end of the primordial era, they were almost everywhere, without any value or practical significance.
The later Fire Demon was just a little brother in the primordial era! Until!
The Lord and the other seven demons, after each gaining control of Trigram Power.
This situation will improve!
Of course.
Due to the passage of time, the Lord's own memories are already blurred.
Even he has forgotten how he obtained the Trigram Power.
However.
Shen Du remembers!
Because it was Shen Du who summoned the eight Demon Sorcerers and taught them to control the Trigram Power!
"That's fake."
"Lord—"
"You were an Agumon as a kid?"
Shen Du looked down from above, surveying the land.
Then, he noticed the Lord from the past.
It was just like the virtual creatures created in the Digimon world!
Agumon! Clumsy and cute.
Also showing a wildness that was difficult to tame!
From his nose, he occasionally breathed out a scorching Dragon Breath.
The nearby flowers and plants were all burned and curled up, directly turning into withered branches and rotten leaves!
"I'm so pissed!"
"We're all noble animals, so why are they stronger than me?"
Agumon kicked a stone.
He was absolutely furious!
However.
He had no way to become stronger! Because his species was already extinct.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen to be a noble animal! One of the Zodiacs!
"It seems."
"You need help?"
A strong, powerful figure stood above the clouds.
He had dragon horns like coral.
His body was covered in dense scales.
He was like a god of war!
He appeared out of thin air in front of Agumon!
"Huh?!"
"A dragon clan?"
"Your aura actually feels very familiar to me?"
"Are we... kindred spirits?!"
Agumon hesitated for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
He felt like he'd finally found his people! He had to latch onto this big shot!
"Do you want to transform into the strongest Zodiac?"
"I can fulfill your request!"
The resounding, forceful threat echoed.
Shen Du's lips curled into a smile.
Facing the Lord in his youth, he genuinely felt a sense of superiority.
Also ready to carry out his mission!
To complete the closed loop of the Books of Ages! ...
