Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Erase You Completely Within Three Weeks!

“The destruction of a Chaos mortal pirate army that weren’t even considered demons?”

“Strange happenings around the attack site, with many fortresses and outposts destroyed?”

“Beings a bit stronger than etheric serpents sank our Chaos destroyers?”

“You called me here for this?”

“Please, don’t be so boring; I’m very busy.”

A pale hand carelessly slammed a stack of documents onto the neat table, scattering papers everywhere and making a mess.

Very few dared to speak like that in the domain of the First Demon God; even fewer dared such bold and arrogant actions.

But she dared.

In Barbatos’ realm, all deities had to follow His rules and take on mortal forms.

She was no exception.

However, unlike Barbatos’ “gentlemanly attire,” her appearance was more “underworld.”

She had a ghastly complexion, as if she hadn’t seen the sun in years; her ears slanted up and sharpened at the tips, and she had a flat, turned-up nose.

How to put it…

She looked like a “bat-faced” creature, resembling a half-evolved or over-evolved vampire from a fantasy tale.

Ugly and eerie.

Her tiny eyes sparkled with a fierce light.

Of course, there was also scorn for the report before her.

Facing the taunting, Barbatos did not get angry, but his expression stayed serious.

“Samikina, oh Samikina.”

“You hadn’t forgotten the name Saraph, had you?”

Samikina was the Fourth Seat of the Chaos Council, not very high in status among the core thirteen.

But she was a strong ally of Barbatos.

After the First Demon God lost the Second Seat Agareth and the Sixth Seat Walifer—two key allies—Samikina became even more important to Barbatos.

To win her over, Barbatos had to put up with her somewhat arrogant ways.

And he knew her arrogance wouldn’t last long.

“Saraph!?”

Sure enough, hearing that name, Samikina showed a hint of panic.

She quickly grabbed the documents from the table and read them carefully.

She had a quick mind, and soon finished reading.

“Were her little tricks hiding underground awakening?”

“Was she constantly attacking our demons?”

"This is impossible!?"

As the demon god who participated in Saraph’s elimination and personally spearheaded the "Mockery Plan" against her, Samikina knew well that Saraph’s so-called "soul dehydration" and "soul freezing" schemes were utterly meaningless.

She had secretly sabotaged Saraph’s plans, weaving in a vicious curse.

Saraph’s people would twist in extreme desiccation, their souls irreversibly damaged.

Even if awakened someday, Saraph would reclaim only hollow husks—steel puppets resembling withered corpses.

Devoid of self-awareness, they’d wander aimlessly in fury, driven solely by residual instincts, incapable of purposeful action.

The Chaos Demon Gods eagerly awaited Saraph’s reaction—that defiant "woman" who once resisted Chaos and caused them such grief—upon seeing her people reduced to mindless drones.

They relished this spectacle.

Yet now, the spectacle had vanished.

Saraph’s followers fought independently, their wills unbroken.

Though entombed in steel coffins, their souls showed no withering, nor any curse’s taint.

They even launched nimble strikes against the Chaos Demon Gods’ strongholds.

This was a stinging rebuke.

Samikina could almost see Saraph standing defiantly, roaring with laughter at them.

That triumphant smirk seemed to taunt: "Fools! Didn’t see this coming, did you?

Your curses and schemes are a worthless joke!"

Though these "Revived" posed little real threat to the Chaotic Forces—and Samikina knew mortal-level beings couldn’t prevail—the humiliation cut deep.

They’d labored to mock another, only to become the jest themselves…

"I see!"

Samikina’s grotesque face contorted.

"This must be handled decisively. Swiftly!"

The situation filled her with dread; her role in crushing Saraph had secured her place in the Core Council of Chaos.

Saraph’s spectral rage and helplessness had cemented Samikina’s standing.

But now the mockery rebounded, jeopardizing her position within the Council.

Saraph and her spawn must be obliterated—immediately!

Samikina steeled her resolve.

"Mm."

Barbatos approved of his ally’s urgency.

"Strike with overwhelming force. Leave no room for error!"

"At this critical hour, not a single misstep can be tolerated!"

Recent defeats had battered the Chaos Council’s reputation, eroding Barbatos’s influence.

Losing Walifer, the sixth seat, cost him a vital political ally, weakening him against Lady Xidi.

If at that moment, Lady Xidi brought up Saraph’s revival again…

Putting aside everything else, just the proposal to label the Giant God as “the eternal enemy of chaos” wouldn’t gain enough support and would be hard to pass through normal methods.

Unless…

“Emergency State Bill.”

“But that could only be used when the Chaos Council faced serious threats and losses.”

“Hmm…”

…

“Alright!”

Samikina stood up.

“I’ll coordinate things and lead the subordinate officials!”

“Whether it’s Saraph or some other fellows behind her, I’ll make them regret it!”

“This time, I’ll use all my hidden cards, including the powerful one I crafted myself!”

“Within three weeks, I’ll wipe out Saraph for good!”

Barbatos watched Samikina hurry off, resting his chin in thought.

“Very good, Samikina.”

“I’ll send some skilled mercenaries to help you from another front.”

“This time, everyone will see how terrifying chaos is when it gets serious!”

—-

“Damn it!”

“What a mess!”

“Are these people’s brains stuffed with oyster dung?”

Albert Drake was boiling with anger.

She finally got why Sulya often “covered her face.”

There were too many things to handle—even with the “Soul Network,” handier than the internet, endless troubles and baffling moves kept popping up.

Of course, some things annoyed her even more.

“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”

The “Shallow Ether Roaming God” kept shaking everything violently.

Its huge magic energy stopped surging skyward, settling instead around its colossal, ever-growing Divine Body.

Original divine parts melted away, reforged into a new, mightier Divine Body.

This brought unheard-of tremors, driving the Ether Queen up the wall.

“That lazy god!”

“Can’t you just shut up for a second?!”

"The Giant God granted you power, was it to harass the citizens?"

Perhaps only followers of the Giant God would show such irreverence toward other deities.

As Albert Drake put it: "After witnessing the Giant God, few beings deserved the noble title of ‘deity’ in my heart."

Just as Albert Drake endured the bumpy ride of the "Shallow Ether Roaming God" while stewing helplessly over trivial frustrations…

"Woo—Woo—!"

A drawn-out siren wailed!

This was the new world "Far Reaching," perched at the outermost edge of the Chaos Swamp Realm. For any assault on the Giant God’s territory launched from the "Endless Ether," passing through "Far Reaching" was the shortest path!

Monster deities from the "Endless Ether Realm" were advancing toward her position.

"Fine then!"

"Fine then!"

Albert Drake slapped her ample thigh and sprang up, buzzing with excitement.

She’d far rather confront the terrifying evil god from the Ether Sea than deal with those blood-pressure-spiking nuisances.

Facing the Ether Sea’s evil god boiled down to two outcomes: kill or be killed.

But handling messes caused by her own people’s communication failures, misunderstandings, or capability gaps…

She couldn’t exactly slaughter them all.

Sometimes she even had to soothe them instead…

Cleaning up others’ messes was tough.

Cleaning up messes without losing her temper was tougher.

Cleaning up messes without losing her temper while forcing a smile? That was the toughest of all!

Hearing battle was imminent, Albert Drake was overjoyed—she practically bounced up.

Hooray!

No more dealing with those wretched headaches!

But alas…

"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"

Another thunderous roar shook the shores of the new world Far Reaching.

In the distance, a small mountain began to move!

Someone—or rather, some deity—had already completed their metamorphosis and struck first!
