Chapter 308: Has First New Themis Encountered Trouble Again?

"First New Themis" – this was the name given to the newborn Themis by the Giant God.

【Not bad!】

【Really cool!】

【I like it!】

Miss Themis transformed into a giant female form, perching on a branch of the Predatory Tree near the Ether Sea’s surface.

A wide-brimmed straw hat rested on her head, black tresses cascading over fragrant shoulders while her developing curves shimmered faintly through the mist.

Her lotus-white calves swung playfully as fair feet gently tapped the Ether Sea, sending ripples across its surface.

Naturally, mortals couldn’t witness this beautiful scene.

Only Trilobite could observe this lovely sight through the System.

Of course, she wasn’t idly playing around.

As the ether ripples expanded, death traps beneath the Ether Sea reopened one by one, awaiting new prey.

"Zzz…"

"Hiss…"

Roots ceaselessly spread toward broader waters, claiming new territory.

Energy harvested from ensnared Outer God larvae and etheric worms flowed into the Predatory Tree Themis’s magic circuits; their divine bodies decomposed into nutrients for the tree’s growth; their souls were devoured by Themis, strengthening her further!

Now Themis could harness power from these divine cores to rebuild the Crystal Walls.

This time, however, the walls wouldn’t be mere glass-bubble enclosures, but flexible barriers that could advance alongside the Predatory Tree’s expansion.

"Hiss…"

God-Slaying Trap Leaves emerged along the roots one after another. They stretched their supple blades, gradually hardening as they lurked beneath the waves for unwary intruders.

【Hmm-hmm… hmm-hmm…】

Themis even began humming cheerfully.

【That villain’s actually decent.】

【Gave me such a grand present and let me reshape the entire world!】

【After harvesting more divine cores from fools, I’ll complete the Crystal Walls and rebuild oceans and land!】

【The second creation can finally begin!】

Themis giggled, splashing water excitedly with her delicate feet.

【Just don’t let powerful deities target me.】

【Though after that massive loss, Chaos probably wouldn’t…】

Her words froze mid-sentence.

【No way!】

"Splash… splash…"

In the distance, several massive trails appeared.

"Boom——!"

"Boom——!"

A huge back slowly arched above the water surface.

Themis anxiously used both her hands and feet to climb to the highest point of the Predatory Tree, like a childhood friend from the countryside.

She stood on tiptoe, her five delicate little toes firmly planted at the top of the tree, her whole body stretched, outlining the curves of youth.

If Trilobite saw this, he would surely be very happy.

However, Miss Themis wasn’t deliberately putting on a show for anyone.

She gazed out, hoping to figure out who was coming.

【Councilor level… core councilor level fellow!】

【One, two, three… four!】

【Four demon gods!?】

【Though their strength just reached the ‘core councilor’ level, there are so many!】

【No way, this… is too much to handle!】

Now, while the defense of Bubble World Themis was decent, at least two living saints with the power of the lowest rank were stationed there; if a single back-row councilor or even a weaker core councilor came, Themis wouldn’t worry.

For a big invasion by etheric worm-level minor gods, Themis could fight back with the decisive forces of the "Giant God’s Radiance" Fleet and the "Ether Queen" Fleet, along with the traps she had set.

But if the invasion got bigger…

Like now, with four gods at the core councilor level…

Themis had no way to deal with it before reforging the new Crystal Walls.

"Buzz——!"

"Buzz——!"

Bubble World Themis sounded the world alarm.

And the "offspring" of the Giant God were already ready for battle!

"Second Living Saint, Albert Drake, ready! Can sortie anytime!"

"Fourth Living Saint, Angna, ready! Can sortie anytime!"

Firm shouts rang out in the agile network.

If it were any other time, the First Living Saint Sulya would have said some encouraging words, telling them to go out and fight safely.

But today…

The Soul Network was silent.

"What’s wrong?"

The hot-tempered Albert Drake frowned.

"With the enemy at our doorstep, shouldn’t we go out to face them?"

"Miss Sulya? Sulya…"

"Wow——!"

Albert Drake cursed out loud!

"By the Giant God."

Angna was stunned too, praying to the Giant God.

To their surprise, Sulya had left them behind, steering her own second body, the Giant God’s Radiance, slowly out of the Crystal Walls and approached those powerful demon gods.

"Boom——!"

Those massive backs, like small islands, arched up from the sea.

Though these beings were far smaller than the Emerald Shadow and Clodius, they were much bigger than Albert Drake and Angna’s avatar bodies!

Angna and Albert Drake thought that if they used all their strength and worked well together, they could drive away one of them.

But the rest…

No way!

The two living saints from the martial faction were helpless against their foes, yet Sulya, with her weak divine body, dared to go near them?

"Calm down."

"The Giant God’s emotions told me things weren’t that simple."

"Ah…"

The Trilobite-like "creature battleship" slowly swam up to the four deities.

It stopped.

Then, Sulya started moving sideways.

In the Ether Sea, she drew lines.

The meaning was clear—"Stop!"

"Roar——!"

"Uhh——!"

The four deities made high-pitched calls, like "whale songs," and gradually halted their huge bodies.

They swam in place, looking at Sulya with curious eyes.

"You all…"

"Are you here to hire the ‘Divine Body Guardians’ and the ‘Damage Controllers’?"

Sulya asked.

Sure enough, the four deities’ eyes lit up, and their fierce-looking double eyes sparkled with surprise.

At the same time…

"Um…"

Trilobite saw the message from the System…

【Received a request to hire 1000 spawn, do you agree?】x4

【Hiring amount, 5000 Chaos Energy per month.】x4

"Um…"

"It seems you understood."

"Then… I’ll give you a 20% discount."

"You can take them for 1000 Chaos Energy!"

"By the way, you can pay in parts, but with interest."
