Chapter 417
by fanqienovelChapter 417: Those Who Dare Offend the Giant God Will Pay, No Matter How Far!
The "Far Reaching Ocean Battle" ended.
It finished with a total victory for the Giant God forces.
The expeditionary force sent by the Endless Ether, made up of Tax Collectors and Gods of Blood and Delirium, suffered a crushing defeat.
The brutal Gods of Blood and Delirium had little chance to show their cruel and bloody art. The deities of the Giant God forces smashed them apart, nearly wiping them out.
The Tax Collectors backing them up slowly fled after losing several Divine Bodies.
They escaped not because they were strong, but because the Giant God side had few powerful deities. Mortals had to handle the cleanup, which was too much for them.
Plus, the Tax Collector deities were tough and sturdy. Neither magic nor physical attacks worked well against them. Even the King of Ether, with his ether powers, had to struggle hard, and so did Baimeng with her slender snout and Shaks.
Thanks to their numbers and toughness, over half the Tax Collectors got away from the King of Ether. They fled deep into the Endless Ether, battered and bruised.
As for mortal losses…
Mortals weren’t seen as "humans" in such a God’s War.
They weren’t even servants—just laborers with zero fighting power.
Luckily, because of that, the deities didn’t target mortals as main threats in the fierce fight.
They were only hit by accident.
But that accidental damage caused huge losses to the mortals’ ether Fleet!
105 Ether Queen-class ether battleships were destroyed, and over a thousand other ships were lost.
Normally, losing a thousand ships could mean a hundred thousand deaths.
After all, this was the Sea of Ether. Survivors in the wreckage risked being hunted by Minor Gods lurking at the Bottom of the Ether Sea in Ancient God Fragments and Primal Mud. Those wild things might kill, torture, or eat them.
Thankfully, after the battle, the deities helped with rescues for once.
The grand King of Ether cast his shadow over the ocean floor. His powerful pressure scared off the Minor Gods and Outer Gods hiding in the Ancient God Fragments and Primal Mud. It made them know: these mortals are under my guard!
This wasn’t just to please the Giant God. These mortals were useful!
The Damage Controllers and Clears inside them were kin to these mortals.
What if they got upset and slacked off?
Also, these mortals reeked of the Giant God and were marked as his spawn.
The deities loved this easy chance to win the Giant God’s favor without work.
Maybe he’d give them a discount next time?
But one person still felt unhappy.
"Ahem…"
"Again… it happened…"
"Rushed out eager, but did nothing."
"Such shame…"
This time, Albert Drake hurried to the battlefield to dodge boring paperwork and chores.
As a result, they suffered a crushing defeat.
The terrifying losses of the fleet had been mentioned before, and it was undeniably tragic; however, compared to the fleet, Albert Drake felt even more embarrassed. She charged toward the Gods of Blood and Delirium in her avatar body, only to be struck senseless with her eyes rolling back, sinking to the Bottom of the Ether Sea like a corpse.
There was no helping it; who told her to be the biggest target? The Gods of Blood and Delirium wouldn’t charge at anyone else.
Of course, one couldn’t say the battle involving the mortal fleet and Albert Drake was entirely pointless.
Without the efforts of the ether Fleet, some Gods of Blood and Delirium might have infiltrated the Far Reaching colonies, causing tremendous destruction.
As Guardians of the people and the land, the ether Fleet performed their duty well.
However, as spawn capable of serving the Giant God…
Albert Drake felt that she and the ether Fleet were too weak.
She reflected that since becoming the Giant God’s spawn, she hadn’t achieved many real victories, always trailing behind other deities to scavenge opportunities or deliver finishing blows.
“Damn it…”
“I should’ve just stayed behind doing paperwork.”
The second living saint lay at the ocean floor, utterly defeated, her eyes hollow.
But at that moment…
“Hmm…”
“Uh…”
Enticing murmurs escaped Albert Drake’s lips; her injury-paled lips flushed crimson again, parting and closing anxiously with seductive sounds.
The second living saint’s strong physique and full thighs trembled rhythmically, her ample chest heaving with the massive influx of Giant God energy.
Clenching her silver teeth, she fought to contain herself, resisting the urge to voice the ecstasy from the energy surging within her.
Unfortunately, she failed.
“Lord Albert Drake!”
“What’s wrong!?”
“Do you need help?”
Though Albert Drake had sealed her Soul Network, a rescuer outside her avatar body heard her cries, mistaking them for distress.
She’d clearly been loud enough.
“Get lost——!”
Albert Drake snapped in mortification.
Yet even without her command, the rescuers would’ve retreated immediately.
Because…
“Buzz——!”
The second living saint’s avatar body suddenly blazed with golden light and began rapidly expanding!
The overwhelming energy surge blasted nearby rescuers away.
Then…
“Whoosh——!”
A colossal, sinister Giant Fish gradually emerged from the golden radiance!
—-
“Perhaps I should leave this new world.”
Observing the Giant God’s mortal spawn’s avatar body expand and new spawn migrate here, the true King of Ether nodded slowly.
This cramped shallow Ether Sea could no longer contain his massive Divine Body.
Moreover…
“During the earlier Divine Body modifications, the wise Giant God revealed my future!”
“I could become stronger!”
“Strong enough to make even the Ether Mother retreat!”
“Therefore…”
The King of Ether gazed into the deep blue, steadily propelling himself with his fin limbs.
“A king must proclaim his deeds and might to the world!”
“Make all nations submit! Herald the Giant God’s glory and majesty!”
“Those daring to offend the Giant God shall become offerings!”
His immense form swam deeper into the Endless Ether.
There lay the Abyss’s domain!
“Abyss!”
“You will pay for everything!”
