Chapter 497: The Primal Wilderness Becomes Increasingly Sensitive and Irritable

“Hahahaha…”

“The Giant God is done for this time!”

“Completely finished!”

“I really won this round without any effort!”

Barbatos couldn’t stop smiling.

He knew what the Giant God had done.

Originally, this was another embarrassment for the First Demon God.

Clearly, the Giant God had seen through his plan again. When Barbatos moved almost all the core councilors to the edge of the “Endless Ether,” the Giant God avoided chaos’s strong fighters and went back deep into the Chaos Swamp.

Of course, Barbatos didn’t know the Giant God had met his core councilors and greeted them. They couldn’t understand each other’s words and were from different groups, but they passed by peacefully and worked together smoothly.

But knowing or not didn’t change what happened next.

The Giant God’s later “dumb moves” had nothing to do with Barbatos’s current plan. It tied back to an old order from Barbatos—to open the border with the Primal Wilderness and let the “Vast Dragon Gods” and “Giant Spirits” living there long-term enter the Chaos Swamp Realm.

If they agreed to fight the Giant God as hired soldiers, everything else was easy.

The Chain Crocodiles, which Trilobite saw as “Triassic period wild boars,” were some of those hired soldiers.

But as hired soldiers, the proud and foolish Vast Dragon Gods didn’t want to follow Barbatos’s orders or plans. They couldn’t grasp the First Demon God’s tricky schemes.

So they just wandered around the Chaos Swamp Realm.

A group of “Armored Type · Vast Dragon Gods” stumbled into the “Holy Tree World” of Themis and started wrecking things.

Then came Trilobite’s killing spree and him putting their heads on display.

“That idiot!”

“Maybe he meant to scare others by punishing a few!”

“But he didn’t expect this! He stirred up rage!”

“The rage of the Vast Dragon Gods!”

“And behind that rage is the fury of the Primal Wilderness’s own will!”

“I felt it! I truly felt it from the ‘Will of Chaos’!”

Barbatos was a very strong demon god and a mysterious one. His divine body hadn’t been seen for thousands of years, so other chaos deities didn’t know his limits.

“Mystery” was one way he kept his power and rule.

But without real backing, mystery becomes empty tricks and gets exposed.

The reason Barbatos could “boss around” core councilors and stay mysterious was his true support—the “Will of Chaos,” or the Fantasy Tree of Subspace itself!

Though the Fantasy Tree of Subspace sensed things like a real “tree,” it could feel the unrest in nearby realms.

For example, the “greed” of the Endless Ether and the peace of the Primal Wilderness.

But lately, the peace of the Primal Wilderness had vanished.

It was replaced by high sensitivity and growing unease.

The Original Will, which was almost "untroubled by the world" and had such little presence that its "existence" was doubted, slowly woke up and began to notice things it hadn’t cared about before.

Anger, unease, and irritability were constantly fed into the minds of the Vast Dragon Gods and Pan-Spirit Deities.

The Pan-Spirit Deities, being smarter, resisted the Original Will’s influence.

But the simple souls of the Vast Dragon Gods were easily swayed, and it was said that even the "Vast Dragon God of the Mountain Type," who had long slept or hidden far away, was awakened!

“It must be some meddling deities who spread this news to the already sensitive ‘Original Will,’ sparking its anger.”

“See, they sent a big army to attack!”

“Hah, this time even with the Abyss backing you, it won’t help!”

“And now, you can’t avoid it!”

“Just look how dumb your strategy is!”

Barbatos snapped his fingers, and a map of the Chaos Swamp Realm appeared before him.

This map didn’t show the whole Chaos Swamp Realm, only roughly outlining the "waist of chaos" area.

Glaring Red Dots marked spots on the map.

The First Demon God pointed at these Red Dots and said, “The Giant God’s ‘Nests’ are right at these ‘Red Dots!’”

“Look how far apart they are!”

“One’s at the border with Endless Ether, and two are in the center of the Chaos Swamp Realm!”

“How can they help each other?”

“And from your past actions, you always defend every ‘Nest!’”

“I’ll send core councilors to attack the ‘Nest’ near Endless Ether, while the ‘Vast Dragon God,’ driven by the Original Will, will crush your Nest in the Chaos Swamp’s core!”

“And that’s the ‘Vast Dragon God of the Mountain Type’—they can smash the Fantasy Tree and flatten the Crystal Walls easily.”

“Your little tricks won’t work against them at all.”

“I’ll see which one you cling to!”

“No, whichever you defend, you’re doomed!”

“Ha ha ha ha…”

The First Demon God laughed loudly.

His subordinate officials glanced at each other.

They had some news meant to be reported up.

For instance…

Those exiled to the barren parts of the Chaos Swamp kept protesting to the First Demon God through Belial and were scheming again.

Plus, that core councilor Barbatos trusted completely seemed to be acting odd.

Their secret meetings might have happened more than once!

Also, the Giant God appeared to be up to something strange.

Delayed reports said the Giant God had visited the "Primal Wilderness" and stayed there a while…

But nobody dared to report this now; they all feared ruining His Majesty the First Demon God’s good mood.

—-

While Barbatos laughed loudly, cheering the Giant God’s coming doomsday, Trilobite was trying to please the young lady.

Now, Trilobite felt his chats with the "customer service young lady" seemed more real.

Because the "customer service young lady" not only had a movable illustration but could talk properly with him.

She even showed emotions, very lifelike.

Miss Themis stared at Trilobite, looking like a puppy about to be abandoned, pitiful.

“This…”

“Wouldn’t moving you to a big house be better?”

“It’s just relocating, right?”

“Trees die when moved; people thrive when moved.”

Miss Themis tilted her head.

“What big house?”

“I don’t believe it!”

“I can’t believe anywhere’s better than here!”

Trilobite didn’t explain; he wanted to show, not tell.

“Well, watch this!”

Without hesitating, Trilobite poured Chaos Energy into a plant spawn.

“Zzzz… hiss…”

Roots spread out, and leaves unfolded!

Soon, a straight, elegant tree stretched its graceful form, growing bigger.
