Chapter 247
by fanqienovelChapter 247: The Merciful God Based on Humanity!
[Hey!]
[The beginning of destruction has arrived! The Time of the End will start from this!]
“Ah-woo… Ah-woo… Ah-woo…”
[I have given up on my past self, embracing a deeper darkness, seeking a new redemption.]
“Ah-woo… Ah-woo… Ah-woo…”
[I will fully accept the hatred of my people! But they should know that the betrayal of my body is a sacrifice to feed the tiger, for the greater good!]
“Ah-woo… Ah-woo… Ah-woo…”
[The Time of the End is near, yet the greedy ones indulge in their gluttony—what foolishness this is!]
“Ah-woo… Ah-woo… Ah-woo…”
[Hey! I said so much; give me a reaction!]
[Otherwise, it’s really awkward!]
“Roar!”
“Very spirited!”
Trilobite was lost in his food, too busy to pay attention to the useless, crazy customer service lady.
[Well, forget it.]
[Anyway, I’ve gathered enough of your intelligence.]
[Now, let me witness how this world steps into the end!]
[Hahahaha…]
“Hmm…”
Since the System Lady had said so much, Trilobite couldn’t ignore her any longer.
“What if the food gets washed away? That would be a huge loss.”
“I need to find a good spot to eat.”
“Hmm…”
Trilobite listened carefully.
“If there’s really a blocked lake, the height difference shouldn’t be too big.”
“Even if an earthquake makes the natural dam collapse, the water flow won’t be too strong.”
“So…”
“As long as I pick a good place to eat, it’ll be fine!”
Thinking this, Trilobite went “ah-woo” and bit into both pieces of meat.
“Hey-yo——!”
He dragged the two pieces of meat to the spot between two small mounds of earth.
In the middle of the earth mounds, there was a patch of thick "moss."
But this "moss" was different from elsewhere; it showed a pleasing light green, not the dark or blackish green of other places. Among the "moss," there seemed to be "ant hills" made by "little ants," scattered in various sizes.
“Hmm, the ‘ants’ here have artistic flair; their hills are square and neat.”
“Ah, maybe it’s my resolution causing this.”
“Anyway, this spot works!”
“Just like this!”
“Boom—!”
The giant air sac crocodile turned sideways, lay down, then fiercely dug with its huge body, piling up earth!
“Rumble—!”
A mound as tall as its body instantly formed.
This new mound blocked the gap between two mounds, creating a barrier like a dam.
“Hmm, good.”
“The mound and my body should hold back the water for a bit.”
“If I hurry, I can finish eating before the water floods over!”
“Haha, I’m a true genius at feasting!”
“Ah!”
“No time to gloat now.”
Because…
“Ah-woo… Ah-woo…”
Trilobite happily kept feasting.

“This is…”
The Giant God’s "great feat" stunned his followers and the Sotiko people; even warriors once most loyal to the God of Evolution felt shaken.
“Unthinkable…”
“Such a god exists…”
Ancient Blood Warrior Kukukwanquak looked dazed, even lost.
In the huge "sacred temple city," thousands of large, flat battleships gathered.
Tens of thousands of tall armored warriors commanded soldiers, women, and children in the city to retreat.
Sotiko people who had switched to the "Giant God faith" ran through the city, explaining the mass retreat.
Blasts of Holy Light from the Sun shot skyward, lighting the path and revealing shapeshifting demons and chaos followers hidden in the crowd!
More giant "flat battleships" kept arriving steadily.
…
"Yes."
Sulya nodded confidently.
"The Giant God taught us kindness, so we too should be kind to all comrades fighting the Chaos Demon God."
"Whether they believe in the Giant God or not."
Kukukwanquak looked at Sulya in disbelief.
From his experience, those so-called deities were powerful and had divinity, but they rarely thought much of humans.
Seeing them as ants was already kind.
After all, ants are living things; seeing them as dust meant tossing them out like trash.
This wasn’t just a chaos deity problem—order deities often acted the same.
Even the God of Evolution, the Blood God Sotiko, who led the Sotiko people against chaos, just saw warriors as tools.
So he unleashed countless terrible beasts in the jungle with divine power, putting the Sotiko people through endless trials.
Only the strongest warriors got to live.
As for mortal bonds like family or loss…
Sotiko never cared.
He only cared if his tools worked well.
To him, the surviving warriors were swords, and their dead brothers, sisters, or lovers were just iron shavings from sharpening those swords, nothing more!
When the Bubble World was destroyed, Sotiko abandoned all his followers too.
That was normal.
Kukukwanquak didn’t even feel hate toward Sotiko.
Because even the kindest order deity would ditch their followers after the Bubble World fell and run away.
If they didn’t care for their own, why care for others’ followers?
But this "Giant God" seemed nothing like those proud deities.
"The Giant God is kind and generous."
First Living Saint Sulya closed her eyes slightly, checking the thoughts in the "Soul Network."
The engineers and builders were overjoyed!
The Giant God gave his followers all the "divine fibers" from the Chaos Demon God that made magic shields and blocked harm!
Though Chaos Energy traces stayed, causing bad reactions in some engineers, the Giant God guarded the evil god’s body nonstop. His holy pressure and aura cleared the chaos from the corpse, letting even ordinary workers do their jobs safely.
"Great is the Giant God!"
"With these divine fibers, we can make more ‘Void Frigates.’"
"So generous!"
"What we harvested these past few days could build thousands!"
The mortals were delighted, but other deities saw this behavior as utterly heretical.
After a divine duel, the victor typically devoured the fallen’s shards of divine rank to strengthen his Soul.
The fallen’s Divine Body was usually claimed by the winner.
Chaos deities discarded it to the Fantasy Tree of Subspace, letting the tree slowly consume the Divine Body; a pleased Fantasy Tree of Subspace might then sprout a sapling belonging to the Chaos Demon God.
Ether Dragons, Outer Gods from the Ether, and Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons sacrificed the Divine Body to the Primal Mud for accelerated growth and enhanced magic power.
Outer Gods from the Void offered the fallen’s Divine Body to the void…
In short, no one ever granted mortals any portion of a Divine Body!
Yet this Giant God did exactly that!
Still, this wasn’t the most heretical act.
—-
"Hehe…"
Kukukwanquak shook his head.
"I appreciate your kindness."
"But at this evacuation pace, barely one-tenth will escape before the Sea of Ether floods this place."
"So… save who you can now."
"I remain here with those left behind…"
"Rest assured, none shall be forgotten!"
Sulya’s resolute voice cut through Kukukwanquak’s words.
"For the Giant God has already moved!"
"Moved?"
Kukukwanquak stared at Sulya mockingly.
"Impossible…"
"The Sea of Ether’s deluge is unavoidable."
"Delaying it requires a deity’s Colossal Divine Body to intervene personally!"
"Why would such greatness stoop for specks like us…"
"Boom—rumble—rumble!"
The Ancient Blood Warrior’s speech was embarrassingly interrupted again.
This time by the "Giant God" itself.
"Boom—!"
Earth trembled as the Giant God advanced, placing its enormous body before the last city of the temple. Its massive form heaved the ground, twisting the lower layers like kneaded dough with overwhelming force!
A colossal mountain now stood before the final refuge of the Sotiko people!
"Boom—!"
The body of the demon god and the form of the Giant God lay across the entrance of the temple city valley!
"What is this…?"
Kukukwanquak and the other high-ranking priests and warriors of the Sotiko gazed in astonishment at the miracle created by the Giant God’s Divine Body.
There was no doubt about the purpose of the Giant God’s actions—"He… was blocking the flooding of the Sea of Ether for us!?"
When the Crystal Walls collapsed, the first and most devastating disaster was the flooding of the Sea of Ether!
The Crystal Walls of the Bubble World could not only block the evil god, but mainly they kept out the terrifying "restoration capability" of the Sea of Ether; once the Crystal Walls broke, the Sea of Ether rushed in wildly, destroying all laws inside the Bubble World.
People living in the Bubble World could likely be turned into basic particles if they touched it.
Later disasters would come one after another until the Bubble World was wiped out, but most humans would be gone in the first wave of flooding from the Sea of Ether!
But now, that wouldn’t happen!
The bodies of the Giant God and the demon god, along with the new mountains behind them, made the first, second, and third lines of defense; when the Sea of Ether flooded in, the mountains piled by the Giant God would, with His Divine Body, block the Sea of Ether and give them time to retreat!
"Why… why…?"
"Why does the Giant God want to save us…?"
Kukukwanquak looked at Sulya and asked his question.
But Sulya just smiled and said, "Does this question matter?"
"Yes…"
The Ancient Blood Warrior bowed his head.
The Giant God’s reasons weren’t important; what mattered was that He was saving them with His Divine Body!
That alone was enough!
"Great is the Giant God!"
"The people of Sotiko pledge to be forever loyal to the Giant God!"
But right then…
"Whoosh—!"
The sound of huge waves rolling came from far away!
The flooding of the Sea of Ether had begun!
And this flooding wasn’t simple.
"Roar—!"
"Hahaha…"
"Let’s meet those pitiful bugs!"
In the Sea of Ether, the etheric worms’ wild laughter rang out.
