The Nether Dragon King was as big as a planet. It towered over everyone else, casting a shadow over the earth he stood on.
Darren was like a speck of dust in comparison to the creature's sheer enormity.
"Sir, what should we do? It has seen us." The Devil King was out of his wits now, trembling all over.
"Be quiet!"
Darren said, signaling for him to hide. The Rule Soul Avatar also activated the Hiding Law to hide their auras as much as he could.
"I believe it won't attack us," Darren said calmly.
It made no sense for such a huge creature to attack them. Why, they posed no threat whatsoever to it. It wouldn't even be able to taste anything if it swallowed them all together.
"No, sir. You're wrong. Despite its gigantic body, the Nether Dragon King likes to take in tiny creatures with god's power. It gets stronger by eating those tiny creatures!" the Devil King explained hurriedly. The huge creature did not care much about the size of its prey. Its main focus was to get as much god's power as it could.
Swoosh!
A strong wind blew over, and Darren and his companions were flipped over. They later realized that the wind was the Nether Dragon King's breath.
"What? How powerful it is!" Darren exclaimed, incredulous at what the Nether Dragon King could do. It could knock them off their feet with a single breath. How amazing was that?
"Don't worry. It can't move fast with its giant body. It won't be able to catch us easily," the Rule Soul Avatar said.
Although the beast was mighty, it had one big weakness. Its size prevented it from moving quickly. It would be too slow to give chase. Additionally, the giant creature was unable to see them clearly. They were but specks of dust in his eyes. All it could do was take a deep breath to scoop them up and swallow them whole.
However, they had attracted the Nether Dragon King's attention. It opened its huge mouth. The inside appeared dark and endless, similar to a black hole.
Sniff!
A strong, tearing force pulled Darren and the others towards the creature's black hole of a mouth.
"Damn it!"
Resisting was not a problem for Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar. They were more concerned about the baby in the Devil King's arms. If the strong wind took up the baby, it would surely lose its life.
Without any hesitation, Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar flew over and stood in front of the baby. They used their bodies to shield it from the wind.
'These two guys don't seem to be as powerful as I thought they would be,' the Devil King thought to himself. The Devil King watched as they struggled to go against the wind, and he began to doubt their strength.
"If you are questioning our strength, I'd be happy to switch with you and let you try," Darren said sharply. He had noticed the subtle change in the expression of the Devil King's face and immediately guessed what was going on in his mind.
"No, I'm not. I'm good. I believe you can handle it," the Devil King said quickly.
"Humph, you'd better not be. The only reason we haven't killed this gigantic creature is because our clan has rules. You should behave yourself."
"Yes, yes. I understand." The Devil King felt nervous that Darren could see right through him. He broke out in a cold sweat and tried to calm himself down.
Sniff! The Nether Dragon King took in another deep breath!
Another strong tearing force came down, and the space began to shift because of it. A few bolts of lightning crackled in the air.
Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar could no longer resist the pull of the force. They were thrown into the air and were rushed toward the creature's mouth.
Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar had both been standing in front of the Devil King to protect the baby.
However, they all soon fell into the mouth of the giant beast. They were plunged into darkness.
They could feel large stones surrounding them, and the air was thick with dust.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless stones hit Darren and the others. Fortunately, Darren's body was strong enough and the stones did not hurt him.
"Sir, please do something. I don't want my life to end like this!" the Devil King shouted. He was completely frazzled.
"Shut up! You need to calm down. We'll make a way!" Darren shouted coldly.
The Devil King opened his mouth to speak, but he thought better of it.
Large, thick stones continued to pelt them. They had no choice but to weather the storm. It took a while, but things finally settled down.
The Nether Dragon King's belly was enormous, and all sorts of strange things were floating around therein.
Just beneath them was a sea of green mucus, the gastric juice of the Nether Dragon King.
If anyone fell into it, their skin would melt off their bones.
