was made of pieces of sapphire with delicate carvings. While they were intrigued by the beauty
of the castle, a corridor appeared. They followed the corridor which led into a spacious room filled
with piles of luxurious jewellery. The jewellery sparkled and shimmered. Tirian was intrigued.
He knelt down at once, examining the treasure one by one. He couldn’t help keeping some of his
favorites in his pockets. As he touched them, the whole room rocked tremendously. The pile of
jewellery started to collapse. They slid down like gliding down from a huge sand dune. Tirian was
being buried by the jewellery. Unhesitatingly, Dr Franklin and Sarah pulled Tirian out with all
their effort. But the harder they pull, the more jewellery collapsed. Seeing this, little Nancy’s eyes
welled up with tears. She stood at the back of the room, with her motionless body trembling.
All of a sudden, a huge explosion shocked the squad. They all lost their balance and fell on
the floor. As the smoke cleared out, lumps of flesh thrashed around wildly in the air. The pieces
of flesh gathered and formed an enormous and hideous creature. It fished out an eyeball from its
tummy and plugged it back in one of its sockets. It glared at them and swirled around in the air. A
few poisonous beetles crawled on its craggy face. Horned vipers slithered out from its nostrils.
The hideous creature hissed, “I’m God of Evil. I’ve been waiting for you all for a long time.
Look at the treasure under your feet. I’m sure mankind like you would want them all.”
God of Evil grabbed a handful of shiny diamonds, showing them in front of their eyes. Not
long, the diamonds in its hands burned vigorously. It made a deafening roar and splashed some
deadly yellowish fluid everywhere, making the room smell fishy. At that moment, the whole room
burst into flame. The strong heat waves hit them directly. They turned around and had a mad
dash for survival.
God of Evil snarled, “Ha! Ha! Ha! You’d better join us and be part of my body. Enjoy the
immense power of being an evil.”
God of Evil’s coarse skin tore wide open. Its body was ablaze with flame. Pus and blood were
dripping all over the place. Looking carefully, they found lots of crooked faces inside, and they were
all people craving to be rescued. Their faces were full of blisters and their bodies were on fire.
A glaring light shone from the evil’s tummy, floating Sarah, Tirian and Nancy up in the air.
Flame burst out of its tummy and they were being sucked in. Dr Franklin and Max were in panic.
They dashed away and hid behind a big pile of jewellery.
“There should be two more,” bellowed God of Evil. It knelt down to search for them. It sniffed
right at the place where they were hiding.
“You should be here,” muttered God of Evil, “I sense a strong smell of humans.”
Max was extremely horrified. He peeped out to see God of Evil. Unfortunately, his head
bumped into some pieces of gold. The whole pile of treasure started to slide, revealing Dr Franklin
and Max. God of Evil stretched its hand, grabbing Max easily. No matter how hard he kicked, he
could not be released.
Chapter Seven - Evil or Angel
God of Evil gazed at Dr Franklin, it bellowed, “Mankind is greedy and selfish. To enjoy
luxurious life, they destroy the place where they live. They cut down tons of trees in the forest
and kill millions of animals just for their own pleasure. Animals have to face extinction while the
rainforest no longer exist. That is why Gobi Desert keeps expanding.”
God of Evil continued, “That’s why mankind should be penalized. You should fuse with my
