Chapter 249
by fanqienovelChapter 249: Misfortunes Never Come Alone
“Ahhhh… ahhhh…”
“So tasty… so tasty…”
Although water had already overflowed the Dam, Trilobite felt the dampness on his side but didn’t care.
He just ate faster, gobbling up the “two piles of meat.”
“This meal is great.”
“Together, those two weigh as much as I do.”
“Hmm, I can eat this much.”
“Yes, my stomach is a black hole.”
“Hahaha…”
“Ah, I need to hurry; otherwise…”
The dampness on his back kept coming.
It felt bad and warned him that if he didn’t speed up, his hard-earned meat would get soaked and washed away by the water.
Just then, he spotted something swimming in the water like “little fish”!
“Ah, that’s normal.”
“I remember once when heavy rain made the ditch by the museum flood and link up with the pond inside.”
“Back then, I sneaked off with some colleagues to catch fish during work.”
“We got a bucket of loaches.”
“Good times…”
“But…”
Now, Trilobite knew he couldn’t leave.
How much could those tiny fish weigh?
How much did the two piles of meat weigh?
He couldn’t lose the big prize for a small one.
But seeing those “little fish” dart around was really annoying.
Snacks were right there, but he was out of time…
“How can this be fair in the world!”
“I can’t waste it!”
“Maybe…”
Trilobite ate quicker while opening the System panel to see the four symbiotic creature figurines.
“Keep the good stuff for our own!”
“I’ll share what I can’t finish with the young ladies!”
“Buzz—!”
A long chant echoed through the air, and a golden light plunged from the sky!
It resembled "sword energy"—more precisely, a massive great sword shaped by gathering, condensing, and molding immense divine technique and divine power!
The Ancient Blood female warrior froze in awe at such force!
“Was this… the power of Holy Light from the Sun?”
“It was indeed mighty.”
“But using it against the etheric worm… could it really work?”
After all, the etheric worm was a god; mortals could never handle it.
This belief had become a “Thought Mark” in the minds of the Sotiko people and most humans.
Though this “Thought Mark” was stubborn, when it shattered, the shock was unmatched.
“This… how could this happen!”
The Ancient Blood female warrior cried out in surprise!
Because…
“Pshhh—!”
The head of the etheric worm failed to stop the fearsome “Holy Light sword.” The blade, formed from divine power, cut through the “divine skin” and pierced the “divine bone,” went all the way down, and burst out from its chin!
“Thud—!”
The etheric worm’s body crashed to the ground with the “Holy Light sword!”
Its forehead was slammed hard into the dirt by the Holy Light sword!
The whole thing took less than a second!
“Defeated instantly?”
“The Etheric Dragon was beaten in a flash?”
“This…”
Stunned, the Ancient Blood female warrior looked up, eager to see which deity had come.
But she only spotted an armored warrior draped in a gray robe.
On the robe, a crest showed a longsword stabbing through a demon skull!
“Who are you…”
She knelt reverently and asked.
“No need to kneel.”
“I’m just a humble follower of the Giant God.”
The armored knight slowly walked down.
“Name?…”
“You can call me Glade, the current Grand Master of the Ashen Knights war organization.”
“This is not the time to stand around; take the children and go!”
Saying this, Glade turned around and faced the etheric worm again.
“Roar—!”
“Roar—!”
Angry roars sounded as the etheric worm, with its head pierced and pinned to the ground, surprisingly got back up!
“Tsk…”
Glade spat.
“It seems my Holy Light from the Sun sword cannot shatter the Soul of a true deity.”
“Though it’s enough to deal with the likes of Demon Lord and Demon Prince.”
Saying this, the Grand Master of the Ashen Knights gathered the Holy Light from the Sun sword in his hand and aimed it at the etheric worm.
“Come on!”
“Beast!”
He roared.
The Grand Master Glade of the Ashen Knights was truly the top among the few “living saints.”
He had killed countless demons, including powerful beings like the “Demon Lord” and “Demon Prince”; moreover, Glade was amazed to find that perhaps due to divine grace, every time he killed a demon, his own power grew a little!
As he fought on one battlefield after another, slaying countless demons, his power rose to a terrifying level, able to match the “lower-tier deities” like the etheric worm.
And this was still without a Divine Body!
Perhaps, what the Grand Master of the Ashen Knights lacked compared to the four “living saints” was just the Divine Body.
…
The etheric worm was enraged by this small human’s actions.
Its forehead had been pierced, and it had been embarrassingly pinned to the ground; its Soul suffered severe damage, bringing constant waves of sharp pain.
A dignified deity was actually hurt by mortals and held down by them.
This could not be tolerated!
“Die!”
“You weakling who dares to challenge a deity’s dignity!”
“You only have death awaiting you!”
“Roar—!”
The massive Divine Body slammed down once more.
However, Glade smiled at that moment.
The etheric worm was puzzled, thinking that this mortal must have been on the verge of death and had gone foolish with despair.
“Foolish?”
“The truly foolish one is you!”
“I am not fighting alone!”
The etheric worm didn’t care what Glade said; they spoke different languages and could barely understand each other.
Yet the extremely dangerous feeling made it hesitate for a moment and lean to the side!
It felt fortunate that it hadn’t swallowed the mortal before it and chose to dodge instead.
Because…
“Bang—!”
That was the sound of jaws closing together.
“Grrr…”
A slender creature, resembling a “dragon,” let out a deep roar towards the etheric worm; its length was nearly a kilometer, larger than any etheric serpent!
Its hooked teeth, fierce eyes, and sharp claws showed it had strong power on land and was a pure killer!
“Damn!”
“What the hell—!”
Though the etheric worm was rude and scorned mortals, they weren’t stupid.
This was a “giant dragon” that could face the lowest rank of the Chaos Council head-on.
While the lowest rank of the Chaos Council was seen as just a “rag” by the core councilors and core councilors, it was already a foe the etheric worms couldn’t beat!
“Run!”
It twisted its body at once, trying to burrow into the ground!
These disrespectful deities, though weak among gods and equal to the lowest tier of all deities, were very slippery and hard to catch!
“I’ll escape, you can’t…”
“Hey!?”
Its words were cut off by tail pain and a strong dragging feeling.
The etheric worm turned back and was horrified to find its tail pinned down by a golden “great sword” a hundred meters long!
“This…”
No doubt, it was that tiny mortal’s doing!
Glade hadn’t shattered the divine rank yet, but the great sword made from the Holy Light from the Sun blocked the etheric worm’s escape path!
“No—!”
Despair and shame gripped the etheric worm.
It never thought it would be tricked by a mortal cricket!
And just then…
"Roar—!"
The giant dragon’s blood-red jaws and lightning speed covered its forehead!
—-
"Phew…"
Finally, one was dealt with.
Glade looked at the etheric worm’s body, severed at the head, and sighed in relief.
But soon, his face turned grim again.
"This isn’t the time to relax."
He turned to the female Ancient Blood warrior behind him and said, "Hurry, get everyone to retreat now!"
"Don’t just stand there!"
It really wasn’t the time to be stunned.
That giant dragon had just killed one etheric worm and was now charging to another side.
Etheric worms were everywhere, over a hundred of them.
They kept appearing, darting quickly in and out of the ground.
Even the living saint Angna’s avatar body couldn’t handle it; she might win easily in a one-on-one fight, but what if the etheric worms only focused on killing and eating mortals?
They avoided fighting Angna, seeing her as weak!
"Damn—!"
Angna cursed angrily, dizzy from the tricks.
"What should we do?"
"Giant God…"
"Please guide us, unleash your thunderous wrath, and punish these small evils!"
But…
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"
The tearing sound, like mountains falling and earth splitting, went on.
It seemed the Giant God was still busy with his own work, too tied up to help his spawn save all the Sotiko people.
Trouble never comes alone.
Just then, a new disaster struck!
"Buzz—!"
"Buzz—!"
A maddening noise rang out from the sky above.
No, the sky couldn’t be called that anymore—it was the void!
The Crystal Walls not only stopped etheric liquid and Primal Mud from seeping in but also trapped gases inside the Bubble World, keeping them from escaping to the void.
Though the Crystal Walls had broken, they couldn’t stop the flood of etheric liquid and Primal Mud; but because of the "inertia of the Crystal Walls," the gases leaked out slowly, not all at once.
This also meant the Outer Gods from the Void, living in the void, could rush in and start killing!
Far off, a big cluster of dark dots appeared!
"So many Outer Gods from the Void!?"
Angna’s eyes narrowed.
She knew if the Giant God didn’t act fast, the Sotiko people would be lucky to save even a tenth.
And the Chosen Warriors helping them escape would suffer heavy losses!
"Giant God!"
"Save your people…"
"Hmm!?"
Her desperate prayer cut short as Angna suddenly saw something strange about these Outer Gods from the Void!
