Vol 7 Chapter 45: Devouring desperate creatures

It is said that it was a long time ago.
No creature knows... how long ago the void was formed, and how the void was formed.
Numerous inferences and calculations, even including direct observation of ancient times, are always unable to obtain real answers.
Some creatures believe that ‘thinking’ is as old as the void.
‘thinking’ itself is a void.
It is said that there is such a void... it is itself composed of thought.
It was originally derived from the imagination of some normal void creatures that formed the original... unpredictable prototype in some wonderful situation.
Then, it slowly grew up and became a vast void.
Initially there were almost no normal Void creatures to know about this, but there are some creatures who know this place.
They think that the unpredictable land is a pure imagination emptiness, which is mixed with the imagination of countless creatures.
They just knew this place before and have never been there.
Later they tried to reach the unforeseen land and witnessed the environment there.
It’s just that they found that this place is not the same as what they think... it’s almost nothing to do with ‘imagination’.
There is no environment for all kinds of creatures to imagine, but there is an environment that they have no guess at all.
This environment is home to a variety of creatures that are not associated with normal Nether creatures, and they live entirely in their own environment.
The creatures who came here are surprised. They think that this should not be the case.
However, after conducting a detailed investigation, they found some traces of the past.
They noticed something about ‘imagination’.
Then, they think that this place was once a place full of imagination. It may be that something happened, and the creatures here have changed, thus giving birth to the various creatures here.
Perhaps there was an ‘evolution’, but there may be other reasons. In short, the creatures they saw at the unforeseen land were almost unrelated to imagination.
So, they began to find ways to make this a place of imagination, not the place.
But no matter how long they are researched and how long they have been investigated, there is no way to turn this place back into a purely imaginary place.
In the end, they fell into despair and died.
However, they did not die completely, and it is said that some new species were born on their bodies.
These species like the ‘sentiment’ of despair.
..................
This seems to be... the original legend, there are legends about the creatures like ‘Boneless Doll’.
They were originally born in despair and then began to swallow despair.
The ‘despair’ in their sense is that when a dream creature gives up all the goals of life...thinking that everything is no longer important, they produce some kind of 'energy'.
And the doll is feeding on this energy.
It can also be said that the despair of other dream creatures is a nutrient for them.
The dolls were not very 'famous' at first, or their communities were not very big.
They will not hurt other creatures at first, but will look for creatures that may be desperate, and wait for it to desperately die, then devour its despair.
Simply put, they are like scavengers, waiting for a creature to die, and then eating their bodies.
In unforeseen places, this behavior can still make them alive.
Because there are some creatures called ‘great consciousness.’
They are very large, similar to a huge brain floating in the void, and this creature is said to be 'sentimental'.
They often worry about things that are not related to themselves, and emotions are prone to fluctuations.
These huge ideologies are very long-lived, and their life processes are usually wandering around in a wide range.
At the same time, they will also carry out various imaginations, judgments, etc. on the situation of various other creatures around.
In the end, they slowly become depressed, mainly because these ideologies always feel that the surrounding creatures have no hope.
At the end of their lives, they are usually disappointed with everything around them and die slowly in despair.
The dolls at that time waited around it until the ideology died, and they began to devour the ‘despairs’ it produced.
But life with other creatures is always not stable. Sometimes the huge consciousness is not desperate, which makes many dolls who are always looking forward to the next meal die.
Sometimes, they try to make other creatures desperate, but the effect is not very good.
They can't influence the great ideology, because the great ideology is very clear that they feed on despair, and it doesn't matter what these dolls are doing.
The conscious body will only despair if it feels desperate.
As for other creatures... it is not clear, the dolls at that time were mainly following the huge consciousness.
But there has been no special development, so it has been a long time, until... they found this place at some point, that is, the space of hope.
I hope that the desperation of space is more 'pure'. When the consciousness inside is dying, the pure despair that they are born can produce a large number of... dolls.
Then they began to devour the space of hope here.
And their behavior seems to have caused some damage to the edge of the unpredictable land.
Although the extent of their damage is very small for the entire void, it still causes damage.
Some creatures have noticed this and started investigating it.
The creatures who noticed this matter were mainly the rogues.
However, they did not intervene too much, but only studied the dolls.
Later, they tried to sneak into the group of dolls to investigate.
Initially they did not find these dolls as small creatures like the scavengers that lived around the giant consciousness.
Because the way they enter the space of hope is not to enter directly, but to let their own 'offspring' but was born in the space of hope, so that a creature that would have been produced in space, that is, the detached person becomes them. Descendants.
This is similar to an Ershi who used his nuclear information to influence an individual species such as an orangutan, and then the descendants of the orangutan became the Ershi people, no longer the orangutans.
In fact, the detached person is not a detached person, but a biological descendant who feeds on despair.
And their actions have become completely different from before.
They used to be a passive, passive waiting creature.
It is very positive now, as if it is constantly eroding these spaces.
