Chapter 135: The Defense of the Net Path Is Breached!
Translator: I can’t find Chapter 134 anywhere online.
“Although it’s a bit expensive, it’s the one for me!”
Trilobite chose to continue strengthening his Terrestrial Mobility.
“Hmm, while I did well coming ashore this time, my Terrestrial Mobility was still quite weak.”
“The main reason I could almost wipe out those big and small scorpions was thanks to my Skill, ‘Flip the World Off.’”
Although fish like the Tiktaalik Fish could awkwardly crawl from one pond to another, it wasn’t that special; more familiar fish like eel and loach could do the same.
Even the less familiar walking catfish and climbing perch could do similar things.
Especially eels; they could survive out of water for three days and travel up to several miles. Since invading North America, they became a fast-spreading invasive species.
People even used eels as ideas for horror movies.
Honestly, the Tiktaalik Fish’s terrestrial mobility wasn’t as good as eels, which are ray-finned fish.
His weak fin limbs only helped him crawl on water bottoms and swim fast in weedy places; but on land, he could only use the rush from shore for a quick burst, and that didn’t last.
“Hmm, I can say that without ‘Flip the World Off,’ the lung scorpions and those scorpions would have run.”
“So…”
【You have purchased the second stage enhancement DLC for fin limbs, costing 10,000 points of Chaos Energy.】
【You have purchased the third stage enhancement DLC for fin limbs, costing 10,000 points of Chaos Energy.】
【You have purchased the first stage differentiation for fingers (five-fingered type), costing 10,000 points of Chaos Energy.】
Finger differentiation was a key step for land life.
Fin limbs couldn’t grip the ground or hold onto branches or roots for support, making them poor in thick swamps; and they slipped easily.
Fingers gave better grip, letting him stand firmer on land.
Trilobite had seen the tangled roots. With fingers and toes, he could start climbing, boosting his movement.
But the shopping wasn’t done.
【You have purchased the webbed hand and foot set, costing 3,000 points of Chaos Energy.】
“I still needed water at this stage, so webbed hands and feet were a must.”
“Plus, the area was probably a swamp, right?”
“Webbing spread my weight, helping me move better on muddy shores.”
【You sold the Fin Set and gained 500 points of Chaos Energy.】
“The Fin Set was useless on land.”
“In rainforests, it easily caught on branches; too annoying, so I dumped it!”
“Finally…”
【You have purchased the streamlined overall enhancement, costing 10,000 points of Chaos Energy.】
“Even with fin limbs turned into real arms and legs, I was still a short legs guy!”
“Weak legs just dragged my heavy body slowly.”
“So, instead of crawling slowly through the muddy swamp, I decided to shape my body into a streamlined form like a loach, so I could quickly shuttle and glide through it.”
“This way, my mobility would get a much greater boost!”
“Uh…”
“Customer service lady, what did you think of my choices?”
“Eh? System Lady?”
Trilobite found it strange that the system sister wasn’t responding to him.
In his memory, this System Lady was very diligent and had a pleasant way of speaking, which he loved.
So, Trilobite curiously leaned in to listen.
Sure enough…
【Hehehehe…】
【Hehehehe…】
【Hahahaha…】
That was a string of tinkling, silver-bell-like laughs.
Of course, mixed in…
【Hmmhmhm… cough cough… uh cough cough…】
It seemed Miss Valaharl’s health still wasn’t great.
“Uh… what made you so happy?”
“How could you laugh so hard you lost control of your body?”
“Calm down! Calm down! System sister!”
“Don’t let too much joy bring sorrow!”
Trilobite’s shouts finally got the System Lady’s attention.
【Cough cough…】
【Sorry…】
【Yes… I’m sorry…】
【I was just too happy.】
【Really!】
“Hmm…”
“What made you so happy?”
“Ah, never mind, I know without you saying.”
“Anyway, congratulations.”
Trilobite figured anything that pleased the customer service young lady this much must be about hitting targets and getting praised by her bosses!
“It seemed it was because I spent a lot with her, boosted sales, and earned her a commission.”
"This is how one truly handles social interactions and tasks."
"Unlike Themis, who kept pressuring me daily to buy eyeballs, making everyone miserable for a while. That was really unpleasant."
【Um… my apologies.】
【However, your body requires significant upgrades this time, necessitating hibernation.】
【Do you have any requests for this hibernation?】
"Now this—this is service! This is attitude!"
"Themis, take notes!"
In the distant Bubble World Themis, the Will of the World—currently adjusting atmospheric currents to water the "Holy Tree"—abruptly sneezed.
…
"Ah, requests?"
"Well… let me dream about beautiful ladies."
【Understood. Your will shall be honored.】
【Valaharl is pleased to serve you.】
"So your name is Valaharl, sister."
"What a lovely name…"
*Snore… snore…*
Before finishing his sentence, Trilobite sank into profound slumber.
A strand of snowy white floating in the darkness seized his attention.
"Wow!"
"Is that… silver hair!?"
—-
Customer service representative Valaharl did have reason for joy—a tremendous one at that.
"Swish—!"
Sylvia swung her longsword, decapitating the horned demon commander.
"Haa…"
Watching the massive head tumble away, she wiped fine sweat from her brow and exhaled deeply.
Beside her, Ashen Knights marched in formation, each dragging chains strung with demon skulls—their battle trophies.
Helmets removed, they chatted and laughed, faces radiant with harvest-season glee.
Before the knights loomed an enormous…
Pyramid!?
No!
A colossal skull display—entirely crafted from demon heads!
The skulls of various demons stacked upon each other, forming this terrifying spectacle of a structure.
In the distance beyond the skull display…
"Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!"
Massive explosions echoed.
Buildings as colossal as mushrooms, matching the scale of the skull display, slowly crumbled and collapsed amid violent blasts.
"Great is the Giant God!"
"And thanks to the efforts of the death warriors and evil god slayers."
"This must be the final cluster of World Nails, right?"
The Giant God first annihilated the highly mobile yet overconfident Outer Gods from the Void, then slew the land-dwelling Chaos Demon God. Now, many Valaharl Technicians disassembled and hauled away the demon god’s broken limbs.
After the Battle of the Isthmus, nearly all Chaos Demon Gods perished. Though some Outer Gods from the Void survived, they fled Valaharl in terror, scrambling back to their void homes.
Though the Giant God returned to the City of Dimensions beneath the sea and withdrew from further battles…
"This is the very chance the Giant God left for our training!"
At least, that’s what Glade, commanding the war effort, declared.
Under the assault of Valaharl’s ten line armies and four battle groups—Solar Knights, Ashen Knights, death warriors, and evil god slayers—the demonic forces entrenched in Valaharl shattered.
Even the last two clusters of World Nails, the anchors controlling the Bubble World Valaharl, fell.
Valaharl’s engineers promptly demolished these world-imprisoning culprits.
"Freedom for this world at last!"
"But…"
Sylvia frowned.
The outlook remained grim.
Inside the net path, Sulya and Albert Drake still battled fiercely against the Ether Dragons and chaotic legions. Here…
She glanced toward black-armored warriors kneeling in constant prayer.
"Sigh…"
This victory demanded its price.
The Valaharl people’s supreme commander, their pride, the Chosen Champion Ms. Loseta, vanished alongside her white climbing construct during the fight.
"May the Giant God protect us…"
Just as Sylvia prayed—
"Hmm!?"
Towering waves erupted far out at sea!
Within the churning water, a serpentine spine and towering dorsal fin loomed.
"Ether Dragons!?"
"Disaster!"
"The net path defenses are broken!"
