Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Drawn an SSR

“This was probably the fourth one…”

Trilobite looked at the new "symbiotic creature young lady" summoned by his "Dance of Ancient Bacteria and Fungi."

After studying it, he roughly guessed what this plain creature was.

“Uh, probably an ancient giant spiked lizard?”

There was no need to search Baidu for "ancient giant spiked lizard"; it definitely wouldn’t be found.

This lizard-like creature lived in the Middle Triassic period and was actually called "Megachirellawachtleri," which didn’t have a Chinese name.

“Ancient giant spiked lizard” was Trilobite’s own made-up translation.

But this lizard didn’t match its name (Trilobite version) at all.

It had no spikes and wasn’t very big. Fossil records showed they usually measured around 30cm in Length; the one Trilobite got was a bit larger, about 40cm.

For a lizard, that wasn’t small.

It was much bigger than today’s geckos and skinks, similar in size to some small giant lizards.

Still, it was only as big as a weasel; Trilobite figured its real fighting power wasn’t stronger than a cat’s.

It also had no special features—just a plain, ordinary lizard.

Its limbs were on both sides of its body, with a standard lizard head, long tail, and a belly nearly touching the ground.

But Trilobite knew that even though the "ancient giant spiked lizard" looked plain, it was a "true dragon"!

Specifically, it was the ancestor of all scaled dragons!

“Calling her the most basic scaled dragon, the ancestor of modern lizards and snakes, sounds a bit weak.”

“Well, put it this way for more impact—she is the ancestor of Canglong, ancient giant lizard, and titan python!”

“Though this direct ancestor arrived a little late…”

Scaled dragons appeared primitive, like the earliest lizard-like creatures, but they actually came later than true dragons.

Lizards didn’t change their bodies much over time, unlike true dragons, which transformed beyond recognition.

Birds today fly and hop around, but their oldest ancestors looked a lot like crocodiles.

Can you believe that!?

If you put a picture of the "ancient giant spiked lizard" beside lizards and geckos, it seemed like a father meeting his son; few would doubt it was the lizard ancestor.

“Anyway, it’s good.”

“The more basic it is, the more it keeps its full potential for change.”

“There’s still lots of room for evolution.”

“Plus, scaled dragons did reach the top of the food chain!”

On land, scaled dragons had ancient giant lizards; in rivers, they had titan pythons. The first ruled lands without true beasts, and the second lost to crocodiles, so they were top predators but a bit "watery".

But in the late Cretaceous seas, the king was Canglong—a fierce beast that clawed its way out of a hellish aquarium… no, a fierce dragon!

Even including newer creatures, Canglong held strong as a top predator in the ocean’s second tier.

"This symbiotic creature was quite a catch."

"After all, it’s an SSR."

"And an SSR with great potential at that."

In truth, besides Trilobite’s knowledge, the 2,500 Magic Power he’d burned through proved it.

When he’d first collected the "Trilobite young lady," he’d only spent 200 Magic Power.

"But…"

"Huh!?"

Just as Trilobite was thrilled to get his new "paper young lady," the system flashed a warning!

[Beep——beep——beep——!]

Alarms blared!

Then, that "paper young lady’s" avatar started flickering ominously!

In games, this only happened when your units came under attack.

"Whoosh——!"

A giant wave surged once more!

Trilobite’s mountain-sized body sank beneath the waves again!

—-

"Hahahaha…"

"See!"

"Your god flees the moment I appear!"

"They’ve abandoned you!"

A low, sinister laugh laced with chaotic divine power echoed through the ruins.

"Thud… thud…"

Heavier footsteps shook the earth.

Beside them lay the "avatar construct" now fused with Angna.

Though outwardly intact, its internal avatar organs had suffered minor shockwaves. This construct would stay dazed for a while.

It couldn’t fight back anytime soon!

"Ah——!"

"Damn it! Cough, cough…"

Sylvia clutched her head as vile Chaos Energy ate at her soul.

Had she been mortal, the chaos would’ve warped her into an ooze-filled lump of blisters and spikes—a "chaotic egg."

Just like those Trinitum soldiers and officers.

"Gah——!"

"Roar—!"

The Trinitum Clan, already affected by the primordial energy, met their doom as all reached a lethal dose.

Of course, the torment of chaos was not as simple as death.

Not only did their bodies inflate into balls, covered with pus-filled blisters and sharp spikes, but their souls twisted into repulsive forms.

They would struggle in pain, and only destruction and slaughter could give their souls a moment of peace.

Their souls would gradually be consumed, becoming fuel and food for the chaotic eggs.

When their souls were completely gone, a terrifying demon would break out of the eggs!

"Ga roar—!"

The wild roars echoed across the ruins, and the chaotic eggs, knowing no pain or fear, attacked the gladiators who kept fighting.

"Look!"

A deep roar rang out again as the huge creature finally showed His full form.

He had a long, wide tail and a beaked head.

The big scythe-shaped claws on His thumbs glinted with a cold light!

"Hmph!"

The hateful deity, radiating Chaos Energy, scoffed as He watched the rebellious gladiators retreat under His divine power, narrowing His eyes.

"Fools! Drop your weapons!"

"I am the Azure Emperor!"

"Surrender obediently!"

"If you do, I can still be kind and make you into chaotic eggs!"

The terrifying deity standing over the battlefield was the ruler of the Bubble World, the sacred and untouchable god, the being beneath the Great Primordial Deity—the Azure Emperor!

The Emperor Wood Solar Trees was His palace!

The Bubble World was His paradise!

Everything in this world was His plaything!

"Watching lowly ants crushed by noble ants is fun!"

"But I’ve seen enough!"

"End this farce now!"

"Your so-called ‘Giant God’ will be next soon."

"If He is truly so merciful, if He truly cares about you, why doesn’t He come to save you now?"

"A coward who picks on the weak!"

"When faced with a strong one like me, He hides away without a trace."

"A coward!"

"Just a trash god… ah!"

The Azure Emperor, known as the "invincible god," suddenly cried out in pain.

"What!?"

"How dare you!?"

He looked down in disbelief.

The avatar construct had somehow regained a bit of strength; she opened her blood-red jaws and bit hard into his thigh!

"Rip…"

Teeth marks imprinted on the divine skin, sharp teeth filled with the Holy Light from the Sun pierced through, digging into that "sacred and inviolable" divine flesh.

"Shut up!"

"You evil thing!"

"Huff… huff…"

Angna’s head still felt dizzy, but her anger burned bright.

Someone insulted her god, her sky!

This was unforgivable!

"The Giant God was not as you said!"

"Now you must pay for your disrespect!"

The avatar construct twisted her neck fiercely and tore!

"Screech—!"

A large patch of divine flesh ripped from the Azure Emperor’s leg!

The pain of tearing flesh instantly gripped the Azure Emperor.

"Roar—!"

The roar of pain and anger was deafening.

After the shock and pain came fury.

"Scoundrel!"

"You lowly being, how dare you harm me!"

"Die!"

"Swish—!"

The Azure Emperor swung his scythe-like claw on his thumb, ready to stab down!

At that moment…

"Boom… boom… boom…"

The ground shook violently!

Even the god couldn’t stay steady!
