Chapter 387

Chapter 387: After all, he is already a shameless god.

"I really wanted to know what was happening to me!"

"Out of nowhere, I smelled something and came here!"

Barbatos’s eyes glowed red.

In truth, he was still the same, trying to resist the attack of the Giant God mark with the willpower of a deity.

However, the "giant jaws and sharp teeth" mark he accidentally accepted was too terrifying, forcing him to use all his will and power to fight it.

This meant Barbatos helped neither the Giant God nor himself.

Those unaware might think Barbatos had become a wandering "drifter."

Yet, he was strangely drawn here by a weird feeling.

Then he saw the "food" all over the Fantasy Tree of Subspace.

The "giant jaws and sharp teeth" mark got excited right away.

"I…"

"I can’t allow this!"

"I am the noble and elegant Barbatos!"

"I am a powerful core councilor of chaos!"

"I won’t become your Giant God’s toy or puppet!"

But once something was lost, losing it a second time often went faster than the first.

Often, the first time was strong refusal; the second was just pretending not to want it.

So, Barbatos struggled for only three seconds.

Then he cried out,

"I can’t take it anymore!"

"That feeling was impossible to resist!"

Still, if it was only the mark’s temptation, Barbatos might have held out.

What truly overwhelmed him were the visions stored in the mark.

There, Barbatos sometimes turned into a mighty giant dragon, striding proudly across the Primordial Earth, commanding the supreme powers of that vast land; other times, he became sky-covering wings soaring through the sky, feeling the void’s currents pull at his wings and sensing the whole void bowing beneath him!

No god could say no to that power!

Plus, two powers now lay before Barbatos for him to pick!

Each power was amazing.

But whichever he took, he’d have to give up something…

Though those things mattered, next to power…

They meant nothing!

"Ah… whatever… whatever…"

"Let it continue like this…"

"Gurgle…"

"I am the Giant God’s puppet, the Giant God’s plaything…"

"I’ve become a shameless deity who knows nothing but eating…"

"I just need to…"

Finally, countless thoughts condensed into one phrase—"Eat!"

"Gah—roar!"

Barbatos roared, stretching his neck with crimson eyes as his jaws plunged downward.

"Ah—!"

The chaotic dragon unleashed an earth-shattering shriek when Barbatos sank his teeth deep into its flesh.

"To think even a core councilor like you betrayed Barbatos! Betrayed chaos!?"

Facing the demon-possessed chaotic dragon, confusion flickered in Barbatos’s turbid eyes.

"Bar… Barbatos…"

"Who?"

"I… I only want to…"

"Eat!"

"Crash—!"

Claws slammed down. Barbatos stomped hard on the chaotic dragon’s thrashing lower body and wrenched violently with his neck!

"Ah—!"

"Pshhh—!"

The chaotic dragon, which had hoped Barbatos would eliminate the "arrogant mortals," perished. It became "chaos meat" inside Barbatos’s stomach, warming his organs and pacifying the Giant Jaws Mark to prevent further disturbances.

Soon it would transform into pure Chaos Energy as an offering…

"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!"

"Flesh offering for the feast!"

"Rah—!"

Barbatos roared with exhilaration and lunged at the utterly bewildered chaotic dragons, their dull minds unable to comprehend the situation.

Rampaging giant jaws tore and ripped, chasing the chaotic dragons across the Fantasy Tree. He swallowed them one after another, gulping them down!

Finally, he didn’t even spare the fleeing "Scorpion Gods."

Green, agile figures flickered endlessly across the Fantasy Tree of Subspace as a demon god’s slaughter and feast unfolded in Barbatos’s excited shrieks.

The wails of the male Chaos Demon God echoed through the Fantasy Tree of Subspace.

As for the "Giant God’s Radiance"-class void battleships and jumping spider mechs that should have been Barbatos’s enemies…

He didn’t even grant them a glance.

"Chaos…"

"Why is it attacking itself…"

"Perplexing."

Sulya and Loseta were baffled but profoundly shocked.

Still, Sulya recognized something familiar in the "giant jaws and sharp teeth" emblem on the demon god’s forehead.

"Indeed, the Giant God’s doing?"

"He’s continuously converting the Chaos Demon God?!"

"Bringing them over to our side?!"

Sulya had once worried how the solitary Giant God could oppose the seventy-two mighty demon gods of the Chaos Council.

Even if core council members were insignificant before the Giant God, facing twelve at once remained daunting!

Now Sulya understood.

The Giant God never planned to fight alone.

He knew precisely who to recruit and who to crush!

The First Living Saint flushed with shame for ever doubting the Giant God.

"Great is the Giant God!"

"Then without delay."

"Void Fleet, commence the second test immediately!"

—-

"Excellent, excellent."

Trilobite watched the swiftly surging Chaos Energy with satisfaction.

"Seems a customer arrived and devoured those dwarf climbing dragons."

"My spawn wreaked havoc on that tree, plundering countless microorganisms and tiny bugs."

"Er…"

"Though…"

Trilobite certainly didn’t defecate on the spot.

Mainly a mental block.

If nothing visible surrounded him, he could complete nature’s cycle; but his spawn were right overhead!

Yet "excretion" needn’t mean digestive waste.

Body-secreted fluids also count as waste.

Many animals mark territory this way.

Though a robust Bopolong with saber teeth and air sacs, Trilobite retained amphibians’ slime-secreting ability.

Smearing his mucus on trees and soil? That qualified as "excretion."

After asking the System and getting a positive response, he did just that.

It worked out well.

"Then next…"

"I should…"

"Go to the beach!"

This time, Trilobite didn’t head in the direction he had gone before.

There, he planted a seed fern that should take the ecological niche of coastal mangroves. After watering it with Chaos Energy, the seed fern grew lush; when he last checked, it had formed a sandbank.

"Now, it should be even bigger, right?"

"And I seem to have some spawn there too."

"But it should be fine."

Trilobite remembered that he had put a "Biaolong" to guard the area. That creature was nearly unbeatable in coastal waters as long as it didn’t run into Duncker’s fish, truly large plesiosaurs, or Temnodontosaurus-level beasts!

"So, he decided to focus a bit on the beach in front of him."

"Let’s see if there’s any seafood washed ashore!?"
