Chapter 24: Want to Become Bigger and Stronger? Specialized!
The impact of the God’s War on mortal spectators was huge. Both mentally and spiritually.
"Ah—!"
"Help!"
"Mom—!"
On the ship "Giant God’s Radiance," cries filled the air.
The refugees hiding in the cabin were thrown up and down as the hull twisted violently; their bodies crashed into each other, causing injuries.
Perhaps the ship was designed from the start to handle being caught in a God’s War. Inside the "Trilobite" cabin, many poles were set up, like subway handrails.
Also, the cabin walls were covered with a sponge-like material, so when people hit them, they didn’t get serious skin injuries.
But except for the crying children and scared men and women, anyone still sane was amazed by one thing—the ship wasn’t damaged at all!
What was even more amazing was that the ship seemed to have a special force field that reduced the force of impacts.
"If it weren’t for this force field, my old bones wouldn’t just have a minor injury like this."
An elderly man gently covered his head, blood streaming down.
But it was only a skin injury; it wasn’t serious.
He was more focused on the battle.
"That’s Balrog the Terror!"
"Unbelievable…"
In the old man’s eyes, the Giant God’s huge body, like a mountain, suddenly rose from the seabed and crashed into the equally huge Balrog the Terror!
The main reason for the ship’s constant rolling was this collision that created violent waves in the deep sea.
He even saw the Giant God cut off an underwater mountain with just a swing of its tail.
Countless huge rocks were tossed up like floating mud and sand, hitting the battleship with loud banging sounds.
The power of the God’s War was terrifying, enough to change the land itself!
But that wasn’t what shocked the old man most.
"How… how was this possible…"
"That was Balrog the Terror, who had just risen to the seventy-first rank by eating the divine ranks of two goddesses!"
"To think it was being beaten without any chance to fight back!?"
What amazed the old man even more was that the God’s War was a total one-sided beating!
Balrog the Terror, though he had a terrifying stinger and could unleash earth-shaking forbidden spells, didn’t use any of his abilities.
The Giant God seemed to know the Chaos Demon God’s body structure well; using the first-move advantage, it badly damaged the magic organ in his midsection. If that area was hurt or shaken, the Chaos Demon God couldn’t use his world-destroying forbidden spells for a time.
His terrifying stinger, which could dissolve divine bodies and corrode divine ranks, was also useless.
It just scraped across the Giant God’s exoskeleton with a squeaking sound, leaving only a few shallow marks and no real damage.
After heavily injuring Balrog the Terror, the Giant God fully revealed his brutal nature.
He began to relentlessly dismember and tear apart the chaos demon’s Divine Body, completely ignoring his cries of pain.
Godly limbs and flesh fell in pieces, and his wails echoed throughout the waters, but no mercy was given…
“Such a top-down effect…”
“Now I understand how those ‘Solar Knights’ developed their brutal ways against demons!”
The old man tightly grasped the window frame, trying to see every detail of the Giant God’s battle.
He pondered the origins of this Giant God in his mind.
“He loathed chaos so much, ruthlessly eradicating it; there could only be one possibility…”
“He was a terrifying avenger, a vengeful spirit from a world destroyed by the chaos demon.”
“He had traversed the endless ‘Primordial Mud’ between Crystal Walls to seek revenge against the rampaging deities!”
Seeing the giant fish-like god’s fury made the old man tremble.
But…
“Uh…”
“Bang!”
The war between the divine beings was far from over.
Carelessly focusing his attention outside was dangerous.
The old man quickly bumped his head against the window due to the violent shaking.
“Old man, be careful.”
A clear yet gentle voice rang out from behind him.
“Buzz…”
A bright light illuminated the space.
The soft glow eased his injuries.
“Thud… thud… thud…”
This was the sound of high heels walking on the ground.
It was hard to imagine that in such a turbulent cabin, moving in spiraling motions, a young lady with long legs could walk steadily in high heels.
“Surprised, aren’t you?”
Sulya stepped in front of the old man, smiling.
Her bright eyes seemed to see through everything.

Trilobite, who had just feasted on sea scorpions, was unaware that someone was wildly guessing about his identity in shock.
His fish body slowly swam past the scattered sea scorpion tail spikes and fragments, lingering at the entrance of his “Cave.”
A “caldera” surrounded the entrance, formed from the “mud” that Trilobite had excavated from inside the cave.
He still firmly believed he was just an ordinary, grown-up Eastman fish; maybe the only lucky and special thing was that he could choose his own future path, not relying on traits passed down from his ancestors.
So, whatever happened next, he couldn’t blame himself for a bad reincarnation.
Every step of evolution was crucial and needed careful thought!
“Hmm…”
Before evolving, he had to check his current state.
【Current Form: Eastman Fish Shape】
【Status: Full】
【Magic Power: 3000/3000 (Regenerates 25 per minute)】
【Chaos Energy: 3124/1000 (Ready for Evolution)】
【Skill 1: Flip the World Off (Costs 100 Magic Power)】
【Skill 2: Ball Joint Armor (Costs 100 Magic Power)】
【Skill 3: Unavailable】
“Hmm, it seems my body has grown bigger.”
“I guess I’m just a regular Eastman fish now.”
“About one meter long!”
“So, I really needed to fix my weak spots—mobility and killing power!”
Trilobite was good at figuring out problems.
In the fight with the horseshoe crab, he felt slow to move, and his kills weren’t clean.
The first was an old issue, and the second was a new one from facing new foes.
Sea scorpions and others weren’t soft like strange prawns anymore, so his old lower jawbone couldn’t keep up.
Even though the Eastman fish had a strong jaw and "jawbone teeth," those teeth weren’t great—their armor-piercing power was weak, and taking down a weak horseshoe crab took forever.
There was no deadly or quick feel.
One-hit kills weren’t just about being fierce; they were vital for survival, especially in the sea.
In the ocean with currents, if prey wasn’t killed in one bite, it could get swept away by tides or waves, leaving him with nothing.
The meat might end up eaten by other predators or washed ashore, helping scavengers on the beach, while he got zero.
Annoying, right?
So, killing in the ocean had to be fast—ideally, the first bite killed, and the second swallowed!
That’s also why sea snakes were so venomous.
“So, I needed a big killer tool.”
“Why not…”
“Just specialize!”
“Super long upper and lower jawbones and specialized DLC!?”
“Costs 500 evolution points?”
“Great! I’ll buy it!”
“By the way, though it didn’t show in the sea scorpion fight, this ‘big-headed tadpole’ look was top-heavy and slow. I’ll spend the leftover 2500 points on muscles for movement!”
“Nice…”
As Trilobite happily waited for his upper and lower jawbone pieces to grow, he suddenly saw something fun—those symbiotic creatures, called spawn by the System, which used to be just dot-like plankton.
But now, they were changing!
