Chapter 21: Grow Larger! Full Warehouse of Growth!
"Cough cough…"
"What happened!?"
Dantalin, who had been sent reeling by the Giant God and was seeing stars, finally regained his senses. However…
His subordinate officials were all dead; some bitten in half, bobbing lifelessly in the sea, while others had their bodies mostly devoured, leaving only broken limbs drifting limply.
The once sky-blotting legion—the entire military force of Chaos’s Zero Layer—had been torn apart by that savage Giant God.
As for himself…
"Uh… Roar…"
"It hurts!"
Actually, the move "Flip the World Off" did have one benefit for its target:
When consumed by towering rage, the victim might forget the pain—or at least some of it.
But now, the effect of "Flip the World Off" had faded.
Dantalin felt like a patient jolted awake mid-surgery when the anesthesia failed.
Agony!
The violent collision had inflicted severe internal injuries on his Chaos God-body. Pain radiated from his core outward, forcing him to curl into a ball.
Even freed from Trilobite’s skill, Dantalin couldn’t cast magic—the divine agony paralyzed him.
A bellyful of malice and magic remained trapped within, useless.
Frustration!
"Can’t… must escape…"
Dantalin finally realized his calculations had gone horribly wrong.
Andumali hadn’t orchestrated this; he lacked the power.
The colossal fish before him wasn’t bait, much less a "baby god"!
After their "close encounter," Dantalin sensed its aura. Gritting through the pain, he analyzed it:
"This thing isn’t a Chaos God, nor an order-aligned god!"
"Not even an Outer God!"
"Its existence… mocks the world’s laws! A jeering insult to all deities!"
"I must return and report this—"
"Ah—!"
The Hugging Worm’s escape plan was about to fail.
The Blunt-Toothed Macrocephalus’s jaws clamped viciously onto his tail.
Then…
"Hiss—!"
Trilobite shook his body and tore off half of the tail from the dual-limbed aberrant bug, gulping it down with a "gulp gulp."
"Mmm!"
"Delicious!"
In fact, the taste receptors of the Blunt-Toothed Macrocephalus were quite simple and couldn’t detect complex flavors.
But the sense of "satisfaction" and "gain" from the meat in his belly was very real.
For some reason, the satisfaction from this dual-limbed aberrant bug felt especially strong!
This made Trilobite see the bug as charming.
"Great!"
"I really like your… taste!"
"I’m going to eat you bite by bite!"
Thinking this, Trilobite chased the struggling dual-limbed aberrant bug, tearing at its flesh from the tail, bite by bite.
The whole ocean area filled with blood mist and screams from Trilobite’s biting and chasing!
Under the watch of two surviving Chaos deities and the remaining chaotic demons, the ruler of the Chaos Council’s seventy-first seat, the Zero Layer of Hell, was ripped apart bite by bite and swallowed by the terrifying deity!
—-
"Kill!"
"For the unwavering Giant God!"
"For the mighty Giant God!"
"Offer sacrifices to the Giant God!"
At the vast and desolate ocean floor, the Solar Knights, wielding weapons made from "bones of deities" and "skins of deities," shouted as they hunted the demons fleeing through the deep sea.
Their morale surged as they chased the terrifying demons, some much larger than them, like lions pouncing on deer.
The warriors had a row of fearsome demon skulls hanging from their waists.
These demon skulls would be sacrificed to their "Giant God" and were also the way for Solar Knights to rise to "Champion"!
"Huh…"
Sulya leaned on her great sword, standing on the ocean floor, watching the battlefield full of battle cries, and sighed deeply.
It seemed the resistance could finally catch its breath.
"It could be concluded that the living forces of the Abyss of Hell’s Zero Layer were all here."
"Andumali’s subordinate officials and his troops must have been eliminated one by one by the Giant God earlier."
"And the troops and subordinates of Dantalin the Hugging Worm were wiped out in this battle."
"By the tradition of the Chaos side, the vacancy in the Chaos Council would soon draw the envy of dozens of Seatless Ones, and it seemed chaos would reign inside for a while."
Despite the good news, the living saint Sulya’s relaxed brows quickly furrowed again.
"This is only temporary."
"As for the future…"
Sulya’s plan was to find a home for the "rebellion"; ideally, she’d establish a base and continuously dispatch Solar Knights to patrol the world.
While hunting demons, they’d spread the Giant God’s fame.
But the problem remained…
"Where is our home?"
Just as Sulya agonized…
"Boom—Boom—Boom—!"
Deafening roars shook the earth.
She and Icarus stumbled for a long moment before steadying themselves.
"Look!"
"Our Giant God was…"
The Giant God who’d granted them the "Holy Light from the Sun" was now drilling violently into the ground.
—-
"Mm mm!"
"Not bad! Not bad!"
Trilobite cheerfully excavated the soil again, burrowing into the "Cave" once occupied by the "Pito Worm." Having eaten his fill, he wanted a good nap.
For the sixty-five-centimeter Blunt-Toothed Macrocephalus, this cave felt cramped—like a six-foot human squeezed into a twenty-square-meter room.
Yet he had no choice.
"Stay alert always! Never drop your guard anywhere! That’s how the weak survive!"
Had Trilobite truly been a Blunt-Toothed Macrocephalus, this logic held.
Massive hornstones or giant squids would probe caves with thick tentacles, dragging out and dismembering hidden crabs.
Naturally, if an octopus dug up an eel, it meant an easy meal.
"Besides, I should build a toilet too…"
Trilobite recalled his last trash-disposal trip ending in a squid ambush…
"Plus, my body’s about to grow explosively, likely requiring long hibernation. Better not go out unless absolutely necessary."
"I’ll handle excrement and waste right here."
As for hygiene…
"I’ll dig a small chamber: trash piles in one spot, excrement gets buried in a pit."
"Now then…"
【Chaos Energy: 13000/1000 (can enter evolution interface)】
"Hooray!"
"Grow larger! Grow larger!"
"All in on growing larger!"
"Wait—save 1000 Chaos Energy to buy a…"
"Ugh, can’t focus…"
"So drowsy… must sleep…"
【Entering hibernation transformation phase.】
【Transformation time…】
"Ha…"
Trilobite never decided what else to buy beyond growing bigger. He didn’t hear the System’s message before plunging into deep, heavy slumber.
