Chapter 32: Must Find a Good Teammate, Even if it’s Trilobite
Trilobite didn’t know that a charismatic chaos evil god had set his sights on him. Due to manpower shortages, this god planned to employ "outsourcing"—an advanced tactic by chaos demon god standards.
In some godless and demon-free world, Trilobite had witnessed outsourcing’s chaotic maneuvers. Cases where three million units of currency dwindled to three thousand after layers of subcontracting were everywhere.
But he had no time to warn the demon god now.
Trilobite awoke from 24 hours of sleep, inspecting his new body while pondering future plans.
【Current Form: Carcharocles】
【Status: Full】
【Magic Power: 3000/3000 (Restored 25 per minute)】
【Chaos Energy: 523/1000 (Insufficient Chaos Energy; evolution interface inaccessible)】
【Skill 1: Flip the World Off (100 Magic Power cost)】
【Skill 2: Ball Joint Armor (100 Magic Power cost)】
【Skill 3: Unavailable】
"Hmm. Didn’t become a shield fish—ended up a cartilaginous fish instead."
"Acceptable."
Carcharocles thrived 400 million years ago during the Devonian period, among the earliest sharks. It lacked later sharks’ specialized adaptations for combating ichthyosaurs and whales, yet shared core features with modern sharks.
All possessed downward-facing mouths, prominent dorsal fins, elongated pectoral fins, and powerful jaws.
The sole difference was a defensive spine before Carcharocles’ dorsal fin, likely warding off large predators.
Their hydrodynamic spindle-shaped bodies—enabling rapid ocean movement—had already evolved.
Essentially, sharks’ core blueprint remained unchanged for 300 million years: a timeless classic design!
The drawback? Carcharocles measured merely over one meter long—a trait common to most "basal organisms."
Still, Trilobite surpassed genuine Carcharocles in strength.
*Crunch—clack!*
His Big Mouth snapped shut, the protruding lower jawbone clashing sharply.
Inherited from Duncker’s fish, this "continuously growing lower jawbone" functioned as incisors and armor-piercers!
He swiveled his head slightly.
Though resembling a true Carcharocles skull, his was broader—housing a future-era superweapon.
*Sniff… Sniff…*
Scent molecules drifted through nasal passages onto layered Olfactory Membranes, constructing a vivid "olfactory world." He could even trace scents by detecting molecular arrival-time differences between nostrils.
Faint "electric potential differences" in water couldn’t escape detection by the Lorentz Jar!
However, Trilobite did not know that in this world of "magic," magic power itself was a type of "magnetic field." Those mages, demigods, and various deities, filled with magic power, shone like torches in the darkness whenever they used magic power to prepare a spell, as seen in Trilobite’s "magnetic field vision."
"Splash… splash…"
Trilobite happily swayed his powerful caudal fin.
"Whoosh—!"
"Buzz—!"
He swam joyfully in the vast "Endless Ocean," stirring up countless "little bugs" and "plankton," making them flip and tumble. They rolled their eyes as the water flow carried them toward the ocean surface.
"This body!"
"Awesome!"
"There’s a reason sharks have ruled as top predators in the ocean for millions of years!"
"However, I still have other things to do…"
Trilobite swayed his tail while patrolling the ocean floor.
Finally, he spotted a struggling "Trilobite" crawling through a pile of mud.
It was "beat up all over," with its armor torn and damaged, and several spots were nearly "broken through!"
Although the Blond Scorpion quickly gave up fighting the tiny Trilobite under his attack, it seemed he had still caused serious harm to this poor "little creature."
Trilobite felt only gratitude toward it.
"Truly amazing!"
"Just like the tough and unyielding Trilobite should be!"
"Thumbs up for you!"
"Now, it’s time for a reward."
"System, can it be saved?"
【Ah? Well, it can actually regenerate after some time.】
Since Trilobite told System Lady stories, her attitude toward him had improved a lot.
But her wording still seemed a bit off.
What did she mean by "regenerate"? It should be "heal" instead!
But since the system didn’t argue back, he decided not to make a fuss; after all, in medicine, terms like "tissue reconstruction" or "body regeneration" did exist, right?
【Still, speeding it up isn’t out of the question.】
【It just needs some Chaos Energy spent.】
"Beep—!"
A system prompt sounded.
【Do you want to use a Blessing to heal the spawn? Cost: 100 Chaos Energy.】
"Of course!"
"This reward is a must!"
"Buzz——!"
A golden energy emerged from Trilobite, slowly wrapping around the Trilobite.
However, the situation was not over yet.
"Hmm…"
"Dealing with the Thunder Scorpion showed me how important it is to have a good teammate."
"So…"
Without hesitation, Trilobite equipped the Skill he had just drawn—【Dance of the Ancient Bacteria】—and used it on the "Trilobite"!
But at that moment, his Lorentz Jar sensed a strong reaction!
More creatures were coming!
But they were still far away on the ocean surface, so they probably had not noticed Trilobite yet.
—-
"Kill——!"
"Roar——!"
"Wrap it up! Wrap it up!"
"Yes! Wrap up those little bugs, then go earn those ten divine rank shards! Hahaha!"
"The Blood Octopus Outer God made a deal with Chaos, and we got it! Yay! Hahaha!"
On the ocean surface, huge tentacles tightly squeezed several human ships; sails were torn, rudders smashed, hulls broken in half, wooden planks flew everywhere, and terrified sailors cried as they fell into the water.
Destruction and despair filled the ocean.
Although these ships were "giants" for humans,
they had fine magical cannons, and their hulls were blessed by powerful magic, but it was useless against the gods’ power.
Almost all the ships were hit; the worst broke into two from the tentacles’ strikes, while the better ones were about to sink.
But that didn’t mean the crews had it easy.
The tentacled spawn of the Outer Gods laughed loudly, ignoring the sailors’ wails as they killed ruthlessly…
Only the grandest, most magnificent giant ship at the fleet’s center stayed unharmed.
"Your Highness!"
"Quick, leave!"
"We’ll hold it off and buy you time!"
…
Cries echoed through the fleet; many ships even rushed toward the god’s tentacles, trying to buy time with their sacrifice.
"It’s futile…"
"All of this is vain."
The renowned "Saltwater Queen," Albert Drake, stared blankly as her fleet was destroyed by the tentacled giants, feeling their terrifying aura, whispering in despair.
This duchess was a pirate.
But different from others, she worshipped the God of Order, "Sea God Agor."
Her main job was to rob ships from the chaos side.
This powerful sea lord had great skills and was good at quick fights, having plundered many battleships of Chaos followers.
She was also very strong, having killed demons in real battles!
But all of this was futile against these two "tentacled giants."
Because Albert knew they were…
"Outer Gods!"
"Mad Outer Gods!"
"My fleet!"
She had prayed to the Sea God.
But Sea God Agor wouldn’t provoke these Outer Gods and even scolded her fleet for being too flashy, drawing the Outer Gods and causing trouble.
Yet Albert couldn’t bear to watch her people die like this.
So…
"If any deity takes these two Outer Gods away, I’ll worship them!"
"Ah! Except for Chaos deities!"
Just then…
"Splash——!"
A huge wave rose on the ocean, and a strange-shaped ship arched its back on the surface.
The two twisted Outer Gods, like hounds spotting a rabbit, stopped tormenting the fleet and lunged at the giant ship!
The spawn of the Outer Gods followed their deities, jumped into the sea, and swam fast toward the slow ship.
