Chapter 108: Uproot and Eliminate Everything!
"Really, everything is so troublesome…"
Most members of the Chaos Council now had headaches.
The assault by the Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons had escalated from "much thunder but little rain" to a devastating full-scale raid.
After briefly gathering and dispersing, nearly their entire clan charged recklessly into the Primal Swamp. Some colossal beings even stormed directly into the Subspace homeland, wreaking widespread destruction.
This left many chaos deities scrambling exhaustively.
Several Bubble World campaigns had to be postponed to muster enough resources against the dragons’ raids.
Yet the dragon crisis concerned Ralekin little for now.
He held the Fourteenth Seat, after all.
Though all core councilors beyond the "core twelfth seats" held equal theoretical status, higher-ranked members still secured resources more easily.
Ralekin’s fourteenth position preserved his resources, enabling the "final offensive" against Valaharl.
His goal: land the killing blow on the dying world, crushing all hopes of the Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons!
But circumstances shifted unexpectedly.
His elite forces, recruited at great cost, were annihilated during transit. Dispatched Hell Warships met destruction one after another—only single-digit vessels from the massive fleet returned intact, suffering over seventy percent losses!
The attackers? Those cowardly "Ranger Arks" who once fled chaos like stray dogs!
"The Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons must be backing them!"
"How else would those strays find such courage?!"
"Now I’m forced to hire Hell Battleships at even greater expense!"
Ultimately, Ralekin reassembled his demon legion and paid exorbitantly to deploy them to Valaharl.
This heavy loss pained him deeply.
"Ah…"
"At least there’s good news."
"Those blood octopus Outer Gods performed admirably."
The chaos deities gained a new trophy—the hide of a mighty Outer God.
"Observe this hide—immense indeed."
"Clearly from a formidable Outer God. No wonder my hired Outer Gods suffered grievous losses."
"But the task was accomplished."
"Outer God or evil god—if they serve my purpose, they’re useful gods!"
"Ha ha ha…"
"Valaharl! Before my near-limitless resources, your shackles loosened temporarily thanks to that meddlesome Outer God. Yet loosened they remain."
"Your treasured Outer God merely defeated one jailer before perishing—never touching the foundation of your chains: those unyielding World Nails!"
"Soon, my shackles will tighten anew!"
"Demon count met! Subspace magic, activate!"
"Root erosion!"
"Zii—"
"Boom—!"
Violent tremors shook Subspace as the chaos deity’s frenzied magic surged, making roots grow wildly like they’d been supercharged.
Shattered roots regenerated, thick tendrils slowly gnawing through Valaharl’s battered Crystal Walls – already riddled with holes and crumbling!
"Embrace your pitiful fate!"
"Valaharl!"
Amid Ralekin’s triumphant gloating…
"Crash!"
"Boom—!"
The shattered Crystal Walls began collapsing, gaping holes appearing everywhere. Just a little more effort, and Subspace would reclaim Valaharl!
The great passage was forming; councilor-level chaos deities would soon descend unimpeded!
Yet at that moment…
"Oh?"
"Really?"
"I disagree… *cough* *cough* *cough*…"
Valaharl’s voice echoed near the Crystal Walls, her resistance against the invading roots unyielding.
"Futile!"
"You’ve lost the weapon needed to shatter these chains…"
But then…
"Clang—!"
A sound like an axe severing iron chains echoed in the chaos deity’s mind!
As if one chain binding Valaharl had been shattered!
"Impossible!?"
"The World Nails… removed!?"
—-
"Oh!? This food is…"
"Fascinating!"
"Chomp… chomp…"
Trilobite burrowed with his mouth, unearthing a large mushroom.
It had an enormous, flattened cap that seemed fluid-filled, supported by a long, sturdy stipe.
But this “stipe” was mostly buried underground and didn’t look very tall.
As Trilobite dug deeper, he found the stipe was actually quite long, with a very sharp front end like a nail.
What was stranger was how it glowed light red in his system vision!
When he tasted it, it even boosted his Chaos Energy!
It wasn’t much, but at least the mushroom couldn’t run off!
“Hmm, whether it looks like a nail or a hammer, it’s good if I can eat it.”
Greed and hunger made Trilobite ignore the mushroom’s odd shape. He carefully carried it in his mouth to the water’s edge…
“Splash splash splash…”
After rinsing off the dirt, he didn’t hesitate and bit into it…
“Pshhh—!”
He bit down hard!
“This feels more like ganoderma than a mushroom.”
“Seems the skin’s turned woody.”
“But it’s crunchy like fried food, and juicy inside!”
“Hmm! Tasty! No wonder they make sauces from mushrooms!”
“So savory!”
“Mm… um…”
After swallowing one, Trilobite went back.
“Splash… splash… splash…”
He dug out the second mushroom with his mouth, struggling. This time, he didn’t bother washing it and kept digging for the third and fourth…
Until every mushroom was unearthed.
Inside the cave, the Pander Fish thrilled at gathering mushrooms.
—-
“Phew…”
“No wonder even that ‘silly girl’ Themis got lifted up by the Giant God!”
“At first, I thought she’d end up worse than me.”
“But fine—with the Giant God’s help, I’ll reclaim everything!”
“So…”
“Permissions fully recovered!”
“So… cough cough cough…”
“Crystal Walls magic activated! Power focused! Partial Crystal Walls closing!”
“Uh…”
With the sickly girl’s chanting, world-shattering tremors occurred!
"No—!"
"How is this possible?!"
Ralekin, who was infusing magic power into the Subspace root systems, screamed in terror.
"Even if that Outer God wasn’t truly killed and it freed a shackle, how could you cast world magic with just one power?!"
"This… this makes no sense!"
Facing Ralekin’s questions, Valaharl laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha… cough cough…"
"Don’t compare me to that half-baked girl Themis."
"Of course, the most important thing is that I, Valaharl, am no longer in despair!"
"Chaos Demon God! You wouldn’t understand how strong I am now, nourished by hope and love!"
"Hah—ya—!"
The sickly girl was suddenly healed by the explosive mental power!
Driven by a powerful will…
"Boom—!"
Valaharl’s Crystal Walls actually began to close!
But it wasn’t the whole Crystal Wall system moving, only several "panels" shifting slowly.
"Bang—!"
"Crack—!"
With a loud sound echoing in the Primal Mud, the moving Crystal Wall panels cleanly "snapped" several thicker root systems of the Fantasy Tree of Subspace, wasting all Ralekin’s efforts!
"Phew…"
Ralekin sighed.
"I underestimated you."
"But I haven’t lost! At least not entirely!"
Though this sounded like an excuse, it pointed to one fact—many finer root systems still reached into the Bubble World, and these were enough for the Secondary Chaos Gods to pass through!
"Since the mercenaries aren’t reliable, I’ll send my own forces!"
"Galadent, Alebi, Obaid, Yusuf!"
"You all! Go drag out that Outer God hired by the Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons and kill it!"
"Be cruel! Let everyone who dares resist me know the Fourteenth Seat of Chaos isn’t to be messed with!"
