Chapter 549: Angna’s Continued Enlargement

"Barbatos must have been insane!"

"His mind was consumed by the Giant God! What a lunatic!"

"He was obsessed! He was obsessed! He cared about nothing but the Giant God!"

…

Barbatos’s fixation on the Giant God caused serious consequences.

Not only did it turn the Core Council of Chaos into a "quality customer group for the Giant God," but it also offended the "exiles"—the fallen demon gods living in the Chest of the Swamp.

Of course, these beings were already the losers in fights within the Chaos Council; their enemies, including Barbatos, took away most of their power, cut their souls, and forced them into the wilderness and pain of the Chest of the Swamp, where they suffered weakness and shame.

They already hated Barbatos.

It wasn’t really about being offended or not.

But Barbatos focusing too much on the Giant God and ignoring the Primal Wilderness and Endless Ether badly hurt the Chaos Swamp Realm.

Deities from the Endless Ether and Primal Wilderness roamed the Waist of the Swamp, causing a lot of damage, and some even went into the Chest and Belly of the Swamp.

While the spread of the Endless Ether made the Chest of the Swamp a bit better, bringing new life, that life wasn’t for these fallen deities.

Those closest get the first benefits.

The ether deities coming with the spread of the Endless Ether often grabbed those spots first.

In that good setting, they got stronger and tougher, and some pushy ones even went up the Ether River to bother those fallen demon gods.

Although Barbatos said he was putting his power against the Abyss, it didn’t seem to work well.

This made them mad.

It was time to speak up!

The fallen demon gods came together, forgetting their differences because of a shared enemy and worries, yelling at Barbatos and planning what to do next.

"What was Belial’s reaction?"

Belial, the sixty-eighth seat of the Chaos Council, was just crickets in the back row.

But by his Divine Body and magic skills, Belial was at least Core Councilor Level, even top among core councilors.

His low rank came from speaking for the fallen demon gods.

Barbatos disliked him a lot and kept him in the back.

But Belial smartly chose to wait and stay quiet, so Barbatos nearly forgot about him.

Now, Belial couldn’t stay hidden anymore.

"He was still pushing Barbatos."

"We even got him to offer a plan: if Barbatos didn’t turn his attention from the Giant God, we’d go back to the Waist of the Swamp, acting for the hurt Chaos Swamp Realm, and demand answers from Barbatos!"

"Don’t think the First Demon God could speak for all chaos!"

"We had to face chaos head-on!"

"We must expose Barbatos’s corruption and incompetence to the chaos!"

"Yes!"

"Exactly!"

"Let’s settle new grudges along with old ones!"

As they fervently expressed their anger and had an Outer God from the Void relay the message to Belial, suddenly…

"Roar——!"

"Roar——!"

A loud, even slightly shrill roar echoed from the area where the Infernal Mist lingered in the distance.

Then…

"Bang——!"

"Boom——!"

The heavy sound of feet trampling through sludge followed.

Before long,

"Whoosh…"

A massive outline slowly emerged from the Infernal Mist.

The blurred curves revealed a massive Divine Body resembling a mountain peak, with a pair of blood-red eyes that shone with brutal light, piercing through the Infernal Mist.

"Is that…?"

"Thud——!"

To the astonishment of the fallen demon gods, a gigantic monster with long fangs and covered in scale armor appeared before them.

"Oh my!"

"The Infernal Mad God!"

"Such a huge… unprecedented size!"

"These fellows… they had chosen a leader!?"

"Oh no—oh no!"

Amidst the fallen demon gods’ shouts…

"Ahhh——!"

The Infernal Mad God screeched, and then…

"Ahhh——!"

"Roar——!"

From behind him, a continuous roar erupted.

More and more figures appeared behind the Infernal Mad God, their loud, sharp roars resonated through the void and ether!

"Cough cough…"

"Uh… cough cough cough…"

Angna opened her eyes, bent over, and coughed heavily.

"Ugh——!"

She gagged too.

This wasn’t because the Giant God had filled her too much, nor because she was sick, but from nerve signal chaos.

The Giant God’s infusion of energy and information felt both painful and pleasurable.

Later in the infusion, the pleasure covered the pain. Watching her Divine Body keep expanding and growing stronger gave the living saint intense mental joy.

Combined, these pleasures often overwhelmed her, leading to nerve issues like loss of control.

The symptoms were muscle spasms, unsteady eyes, faster blood flow, a tongue that wouldn’t pull back, and unstoppable saliva and other fluids.

Sulya had faced this more times, with the worst signs. As the First Living Saint, she often made odd moves beyond those symptoms.

Fourth Living Saint Angna fared better.

This time, she only gagged a little.

Likely, it was because Trilobite infused a smaller amount.

"Great… great… Giant God…"

Angna gasped weakly, wiping drool from her mouth with a shaky hand, her full chest heaving.

But she didn’t care about how she looked.

After all, the False Body’s inside was shut off—only the Giant God could see her.

The deep-skinned gladiator shook off the gagging pain, cleared her head, and focused on her Divine Body.

She was definitely larger than before!

At least thirty to forty percent bigger!

Now, Angna truly looked like a titan-level god. Many core councilors couldn’t match her size; she even hit core councilor standards!

Changes showed in her limbs too.

Her old claws and webbed parts were gone.

Fingers and arms fused into simpler fin limbs that helped with swimming.

Her whole form turned more streamlined, beautiful, and graceful, like a stretched water drop.

All this meant…

"Was the Giant God telling me to drop that weak Terrestrial Mobility and go all-in on the Ether Sea?"

"Did giving me this strong Divine Body mean…?"

"Whoosh——!"

Angna shut her eyes, her soul linking back to the avatar body.

Sight from the avatar body returned.

She saw the bloody ocean ahead, the thriving Ancient Cup Outer Gods, and the weird Outer Gods that came with the Ancient Cup God.

Also…

"Ahhh——!"

Uneasy shakes rippled through the Ether Sea!

The Giant God’s foes hadn’t stopped. They still craved the Giant God’s treasure—the Ancient Cup Domain.

"Fine!"

"Then I, the Ancient Cup Domain’s Guardian, will deal with you properly!"
