Chapter 464 Evil God Ugoliant
Moreover, Dui discovered that this was particularly relevant whenever a crisis arose, such as the War of Anger or the destruction of Númenor.
The human spirit will always burst forth with the most brilliant light, injecting a vast wellspring into the sea of the soul.
And after people die, their spiritual energy does not dissipate, but rather, carrying their intense emotions, it is completely absorbed into the sea of the soul.
Dui was thus able to draw upon this unclaimed spiritual energy to strengthen his own spiritual power.
The only side effect is that you will experience all the original owner's emotions and consciousness firsthand.
If one's mental state is not strong enough, one can easily be influenced by the emotions and consciousness of others, and may even easily lose oneself and become someone who is no longer like oneself.
However, given Dui's current strength and mental fortitude, there's no need to worry about this side effect.
After all, there are gains and losses. He has gained an almost inexhaustible sea of the mind, so this hidden danger is not worth mentioning.
Although it was discovered that people provide more spiritual energy to the subspace during adversity and crisis, and that after death, spiritual energy is completely returned to oneself.
But Dui did not develop any greed for starting wars, exploiting more spiritual energy, or killing all intelligent life to monopolize the sea of the mind.
Not to mention the consequences of doing so, which would push all the Valar, and even the creator god Ilúvatar, to the opposite side.
Moreover, Dui understood the principle of exhausting resources. He was not greedy for the amount of spiritual energy he had at any given moment. As long as spiritual power was continuously injected, little by little, the longer he waited, the more his spiritual sea would expand.
One day, this ocean of the mind in the subspace will become the foundation for his further advancement.
But perhaps fate couldn't bear to see him so successful, because when he absorbed the spiritual energy of beings from all time and space...
A shadow that had been lurking in the shadows for a long time suddenly appeared in the subspace that originally only contained Dui.
It was a woman with a seductive face and evil, crazed eyes, exuding dark power. She was greedily and passionately gazing at Dui and the Sea of the Mind, with intense lust.
This woman was ethereal; what entered the subspace was not her physical body, but her spiritual form.
But it also exudes a very dangerous and terrifying aura.
"Who are you?!" Dui's expression hardened, and he asked sharply and warily.
Only the individual can enter the subspace. Even if other Valar want to enter, they must obtain Dui's permission before they can enter with their consciousness.
But this mysterious woman in front of him actually entered the subspace directly in her spiritual form without his permission.
This caught Dui off guard, and he looked at her with great vigilance.
"Hehehe—Vera, the master of time, you've truly surprised me!" The woman smiled seductively, exuding an alluring aura, but her eyes, fixed on Dui, held a predatory greed. "I had woven my web, waiting for you to stumble into it, but I never expected to discover that you'd created such a world!"
Her gaze swept over the vast sea of the mind behind Dui, filled with surprise and greed: "Such abundant power!"
If I take over this place, I can absorb energy indefinitely and never feel hungry again!
Dui was on high alert: "You're Ugoliant?!"
"Heh heh, how clever you are, young Vera!" The woman chuckled, looking at him with admiration. "I like smart people, so let me devour you, let us become one—"
As she spoke, the woman's spiritual body rapidly expanded and transformed into a spider-like creature that blotted out the sky, occupying almost half of the subspace.
Compared to her, Dui is like an ant facing a planet, utterly insignificant.
Dui's expression was stern, but he still asked, "No one but me can enter my warp. How did you get in?"
The spider Ugliant hissed with laughter, echoing throughout the warp. "Didn't you invite me in? It's a bit of a shame my body can't come in, but even if only my spirit form were here, you wouldn't be able to struggle!"
"I invited you?" Dui asked, surprised, but then realized, "You've also channeled your psychic powers into the warp?"
All intelligent beings, regardless of whether they are good or evil, possess the power of the mind.
This evil god, Ugoliant, was clearly hiding among all living beings while Dui was using the subspace to collect their mental energy. He then injected his own mental power into the subspace and used it to connect with it, breaking through the restrictions set by Dui and entering the subspace.
As she said, Ugoliant's ability to enter the warp is ultimately Dui's responsibility.
Because Dui did not expect that Ugoliant would be hiding in the world of Arda, when he used the warp to collect the minds of all living beings, he did not find Ugoliant among them. Instead, he bound Ugoliant to the warp along with the minds of other beings, which gave Ugoliant the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The only saving grace was that Dui had modified the warp early on, restricting entities other than himself from entering it.
This prevented Ugoliant from using his full power to descend upon the subspace.
"Alright, young Vera, I've answered your question. I'm starving now!" Ugoliant's enormous, clustered eyes stared greedily at him. "In return, let me devour you!"
As it spoke, it opened its enormous, black hole-like maw and lunged to devour Dui.
Ulgoliant, a powerful evil god of the Valar caliphate, further enhanced his power after draining the sap of the Two Trees, surpassing even the strongest Morgoth.
Although he now appears in the subspace as a spiritual entity, his power remains immense, which is why he is confident that he can devour Dui.
"Time Stop!" Dui used his power of time to instantly freeze the subspace.
But before he could even catch his breath, Ugoliant, whose time had been frozen, forcefully broke free of the time constraint and resumed its activity, continuing to devour Dui.
Dui took a deep breath and quickly disappeared into the river of time, wanting to travel to other dimensions.
But whether upstream or downstream, every spacetime is blocked by a giant, dark web like the night sky, blocking all exits, and there are also giant, physical spiders with their mouths open, waiting to devour them.
"Hahaha, don't even think about escaping, Duir! Although I cannot enter the river of time, I am the embodiment of darkness. Darkness is everywhere, permeating every spacetime, and there is nowhere for me to escape!"
Ugolian's triumphant laughter echoed from every time and space, his eyes fixed on him in the river of time, as if watching a small fish struggling in a fishing net.
Seeing that Ugoliant was confident he had the upper hand, Dui's expression turned fierce, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
He jumped directly out of the river of time and returned to the subspace.
"Are you just going to obediently wait to be devoured by me? Hehehe, don't worry, we will become one and never be separated~" Ugoliant said in a gentle tone, his abyss-like maw generating a huge devouring force, locking onto Dui.
Looking at the giant maw that was about to devour him, Dui sneered: "Want to eat me? Then I'll let you eat your fill!"
'
As soon as he finished speaking, the once calm sea of the mind erupted into a raging torrent, and then, as if finding a cesspool, it surged wildly into the gaping maw of Ugoliant.
The Sea of the Mind contains the beliefs of countless beings across time and space, and the consciousness and emotions within it are extremely intense. Even Dui only felt the need to absorb its energy little by little, fearing that his will would be overwhelmed by the consciousness and emotions within it.
Now, all of this sea of the mind has poured into Ugoliant's mouth, and even someone as powerful as her cannot withstand it.
Sensing danger, Ugolian immediately shut his mouth, trying to prevent more mental energy from entering.
But she didn't expect that even with her mouth shut, the vast and boundless spiritual energy would still surge into her body.
"No!!!" Ugoliant cried out in terror, desperately trying to stop them, even attempting to escape the warp.
But now the tide has turned, and the subspace has been completely sealed off by Dui, leaving Ugoliant with nowhere to escape.
The sea of the mind surged wildly into Ugoliant's body, and the consciousness and emotions of all living beings contained within it transformed into a raging torrent that directly shattered her mental defenses, scattering her consciousness and soul into pieces.
With a deafening explosion, Ugoliant's spiritual body was completely shattered and dissipated into the subspace.
Meanwhile, in some dark corner of the world.
Ugoliant's body froze, like a soulless body, lying on the ground without any reaction.
