“It hurts… I’m in so much pain…”
It was an extremely unpleasant sound, like the painful groan of a drug addict before his death, or the miserable cry of a woman whose lower body was crushed by a train, or even more like the sharp and piercing sound of a stone scraping against glass. Anyone who heard it would tremble in their heart and feel an inexplicable feeling of disgust!
And this voice...
It was coming from behind the stone gate. Due to the angle, Chen Feng couldn't see what was inside. He only saw a withered palm placed on one side of the stone gate.
How to describe that palm
Dry and thin, it looks like a layer of black skin is attached to the skeleton, it is so ugly!
The more important point is that it was just an extremely thin arm. Even if the flesh and blood of an adult were most withered, it would not be possible for it to shrink to that size!
To be precise, it was the arm of a child, or even a baby.
The situation began to change in an unpredictable direction. In Chen Feng's original mind, the helper summoned this time was synonymous with power and evil. It had a body that was even taller than the Burning Demon, and even in the abyss, it was like a giant.
But the scene before him made all of Chen Feng's thoughts go to waste.
This is very different from the summoned beast in imagination. It is thin and dry, revealing an aura of despair and gloom.
While Chen Feng's focus was still on what kind of monster the other party was, a head that was difficult to describe in human language poked out from behind the stone door.
The head was the size of a baby, but the skin was black and rotten, as if it had been infected by sulfuric acid, without any sign of life.
The other party did not show the aggressive momentum as imagined.
Instead, it gave people an extremely awkward feeling. It looked at Chen Feng with a calm gaze, just like... just like a pet dog examining its owner whom it had not seen for a long time, or... a baby seeing a loved one whom it had not seen for a long time.
As for the fact that he didn't show up just now, it wasn't intentional, but... he was too embarrassed to come out and recognize me.
Why do such extreme contradictions exist in this world
He was strong yet thin, evil yet timid, and there were too many contradictions in him. Even the knowledgeable Chen Feng was confused at this moment by this extremely contradictory guy.
However, Chen Feng still felt a familiar breath from the other person.
At this time, the evil demon's attention was also attracted by the other party. Although the evil demon looked like a little girl, she was still a terrifying creature from the abyss in her heart.
Except for Chen Feng, it had never paid attention to anyone or anything. But now, the sudden appearance of the monster attracted the attention and curiosity of the evil demon. At this time, the evil demon even felt like it couldn't control itself and took a step forward.
Seeing the strange behavior of the evil demon, Chen Feng suddenly woke up as if from a nightmare. He finally figured out what that familiar feeling on the other party was. It had the same aura as the evil demon. It was the most extreme energy in the world, a divine evil!
At the same time, Chen Feng communicated with the abyss and instilled the other party's information into his mind.
The atrophied.
Like the undead, the Atrophied were born from the stillborn fetus of the gods.
Numb and cold souls linger around the Atrophied One - the life energy of powerful creatures is trapped in its unclean aura, while the life force of weaker creatures will be quickly consumed.
This is an undead creature that can attract and devour souls. They are the babies that the gods conceived and conceived, but unfortunately died.
If it was just an ordinary baby that died prematurely, it would have only one fate, which was to be buried in the ground forever. As time passed, it would turn into a skinny skeleton and be completely annihilated in the long river of history.
But the Atrophied are the offspring of gods, and they are born with powers that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
It's like a child born from a god, with legendary or even stronger powers at birth.
Life is unfair.
This is one thing that cannot be doubted.
The Atrophy is a deformed, incomplete black fetal membrane with obvious undead characteristics. Its appearance is similar to a wet, wrinkled and swollen human baby, but there is no hair on its head. Its eyes are empty and lifeless. It keeps drooling as dirty and disgusting as its mouth.
Just like now, when the atrophied creature completely appeared in front of Chen Feng, Chen Feng saw that its arms were very slender, and at the end of the slender arms there were sharp and ferocious claws, and its legs had completely atrophied, hanging under its body like useless dead objects. Atrophied creatures would never walk, they would always float in the air.
Among all the information about the Atrophied in Chen Feng's mind, the one that made him feel most uneasy was...
Whenever an Atrophy is born, the gods panic and try their best to seal this terrible remnant in a dead plane or under the ruins of a vanished civilization.
This is an existence that all gods fear. In terms of bloodline, they are the offspring of gods, but from the moment they become divine evil, they become the most direct obstacle to their survival.
Regardless of the dimension, when an expedition unearths an Atrophy, woe betide them - once freed, the Atrophy will kill all life in and around it until it is neutralized by unknown causes.
In some undead kingdoms where many are ruled by necromancers, the Atrophied may actually serve as the leader.
The Atrophied are unfortunate creatures mocked by life. Their current existence only brings destruction and despair to everything.
Specifically, the Atrophied are incomplete gods that gained enough sparks of divine power to become undead.
They are born with divinity, and if they are born normally, they will be the luckiest beings in countless dimensions. They have the care from their parents and are favored by fate.
But unfortunately, due to various reasons, they fell into this world.
They are no longer the cared-for and beloved offspring of the gods, nor are they favored by fate. Instead, they have become undead creatures that devour lives and are feared and avoided by all living things.
Some atrophied ones roam freely across the planes, while others are sealed away in the various realms or buried beneath the ruins of the realms of the dead.
The gods do not allow their bloodline to tarnish their glory. Even though there are many atrophied ones, they rarely appear in the outside world because they are sealed from the moment they are born, forever...
