I, the creator of the evil god! - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Monster Editor System

“Edit monsters?”

Lu Yu stared at the five “materials” in front of him and asked in confusion:

“Do I choose a few to combine and edit them?”

System: [Yes, you can select several or combine them entirely. Editing is not just mixing them together but creating based on your imagination. Its potential is limitless!]

As the system’s prompt echoed, five material names and descriptions appeared before Lu Yu’s eyes.

The blood-stained yellow cloth was called the Unknown Burial Shroud. It came from the corpse of an unidentified being, tainted with its blood, gaining a sinister aura and eerie power. Touching it could drain one’s life force, resulting in death. It was rated as a three-star material.

All materials in the system were graded from one to ten stars. The higher the star rating, the stronger the material’s power, potential, or origin.

Materials could be obtained through system reward chests or extracted directly from objects! For instance, humans could be sources of materials like souls and flesh, though extraction might fail.

The blue light orb was a Pure Soul, a legendary treasure weighing only 21 grams. According to Western beliefs, a person’s soul ascends to heaven upon death for eternal bliss.

However, in Eastern traditions, souls must pass through six cycles of reincarnation, crossing the River of Forgetfulness, the Bridge of Helplessness, and drinking Meng Po’s Soup to start a new life.

Regardless of belief, souls were inherently mysterious.

The Broken Blade Fragment was battle residue from a weapon, rated one star, with little value.

The Hellfire was an evil flame from the underworld, imbued with corrosive, malevolent properties capable of inflicting deadly harm on all living beings. Its rating was two and a half stars.

The last item, a pocket watch, received a vague system evaluation:

[(Four-star) Broken Pocket Watch]: Once worn by an unknown entity, stained with traces of time and shadow, transforming it beyond ordinary items. However, it was also polluted by the blood of an evil god, carrying madness-inducing powers.

“Madness-inducing power?”

Lu Yu examined the golden pocket watch floating mid-air. Its hands moved slowly, appearing like an ordinary watch, though the dark red stains added an eerie touch.

Within the watch lay a trace of Time’s Power!

In any world, time and space were supreme laws!

Even the highest gods or the most invincible beings could not escape time’s erosion, reduced to mere grains of sand in its vast river.

Despite the watch’s potential danger, Lu Yu was unfazed.

Since acquiring the Monster Editor System, he understood that becoming stronger required extracting numerous materials from powerful beings, monsters, and even cosmic abominations beyond reality’s boundaries!

These entities were powerful, chaotic, and insane. Even the slightest spill of their power could cause havoc and slaughter in any world!

“Whew… It seems life will be anything but dull from now on,” Lu Yu exhaled, more excited than nostalgic for his once-peaceful life.

He longed to escape mediocrity and ascend to the highest throne, becoming an eternal, forbidden existence!

Raising his hands slowly, a gray mist surged around him, like a sea god lifting a scepter to summon a raging storm!

A strange sensation surged within him. He felt as though he grasped the world’s laws, everything firmly under his control!

With a single thought, the five materials floated before him, emitting faint glows. The higher the star rating, the brighter the glow.

Editing a monster was more than haphazardly combining items into a chaotic mess.

Though possible, the system’s prompt indicated that the more perfectly edited the monster, the stronger its abilities and the greater its growth potential!

In other words, as its creator, Lu Yu needed to edit the monster with intent and precision.

“Editing is not just mixing but creating based on your imagination!”

Lu Yu softly recited the system’s reminder as he flicked his finger, dismissing the one-star Broken Blade Fragment!

Though it could be used, its low quality would only weaken the monster’s potential, offering no real benefit.

As a perfectionist, Lu Yu would not tolerate significant flaws in his first creation!

He also set aside the Broken Pocket Watch, saving its precious time power for a more suitable creation.

With those decisions made, Lu Yu turned to the Pure Soul, Hellfire, and the Unknown Burial Shroud, already formulating an idea.

He recalled a monster from a story he’d read in his previous life!

“Hand of Chaos, stir the threads of destiny!”

Like the soft whisper of a god, the entire gray space began to spin. Lawful threads intertwined in Lu Yu’s palms as he grasped the three materials!

“Arise, my first monster…”
