Chapter 58: The Giant Bug Ascends!
"Was this creature your ultimate backing!?"
The God of Light stared at the "flat bug" gradually surfacing from the ocean, detecting traces of "radiance" and "holiness" emanating from it.
In strength, this deity remained feeble, merely equivalent to a Secondary God!
A god of this rank, if not another deity’s servant, could only be a newly emerged "infant."
"You do carry a faint whiff of ‘light’."
"Did you aim to usurp my divine authority through such means?"
"How utterly witless!"
"Today, I shall devour you whole!"
"Once you perish, your witless followers will crumble without resistance!"
"Hahahahaha…"
The God of Light unfurled his colossal, translucent wings—adorned with intricate geometric patterns yet vast enough to blot out the sky…
"Bzzzzzz—!"
The wings thrummed violently at blinding speed, whipping up mountainous waves across the sea!
At this moment, the great vessel carrying the "Gray Demon" Glade, Sylvia, Holy Knight Bohimond, and Saltwater Queen Albert Drake finally succumbed!
"All hands! Abandon ship!"
"Our gratitude for your valor!"
"We’ve achieved our tactical objective—luring this chaos-serving ‘False Deity’ here!"
Truthfully, the abandon-ship order proved redundant.
Battered by deity-infused waves, even the 150-meter magic-reinforced "leviathan" swiftly shattered into fragments under the tempest’s fury.
Sailors tumbled overboard, plunging into the abyssal depths.
"Hahahahaha…"
The God of Light roared with triumphant laughter.
"Witnessing your people’s fate—what thoughts haunt you now!?"
Swiftly, the "Secondary God" answered through action.
Bobbing violently amid churning swells, she steadied herself upon a "reef" and rose laboriously. Though her hundred-meter frame seemed insignificant against the God of Light’s divine form, to mortals it remained awe-inspiring.
Yet greater astonishment followed.
She lifted her first pair of hammer-tipped claws…
"Craaaack—!"
Thunderbolts scarred the heavens as lightning flared and thunder detonated!
The "infant deity’s" message rang clear: Fuck your mother, come down here if you dare!?
"What!?"
The God of Light was enraged by this mockery.
He couldn’t comprehend why a mere "infant deity" like this cricket dared challenge him!?
"Could this fellow actually have Sea God Agor backing him?"
Hesitating briefly mid-air, the deity embodying "Light" soon dismissed the thought.
"Hmph, that eccentric and temperamental Agor can only swagger about in the ocean, especially the deep waters."
"His divine form is utterly powerless above the sea surface!"
Agor’s dominion was the ocean, largely separate from most Gods of Order. Combined with his odd disposition, he rarely interacted with other Order Gods or involved himself in their affairs. Thus, the God of Light had minimal contact with the sea god.
Moreover, Chaos Demon God Wabla—tasked with subversion and covert operations—used only one-way communication. Consequently, neither Agor nor the God of Light knew the other had defected to the Chaotic Forces.
Wabla, the "chaos councilor," naturally wouldn’t disclose internal chaos matters to these two traitors. The Chaos Demon God distrusted even his "colleagues," let alone shameful turncoats.
After Sea God Agor’s demise, Wabla painstakingly concealed the event, crafting the illusion that Agor still "lived." Coastal disturbances during the sea god assembly likewise leaked little information due to Wabla’s intense suppression.
The scheming Wabla never realized his flawless intelligence operation, while salvaging losses for the Chaotic Forces, had simultaneously ensnared the God of Light.
Unaware of Agor’s fall and lacking any intelligence about this sea, the God of Light even prided himself on his nimble, lightweight divine form that could soar through skies!
…
"That bizarre fool Agor can only watch as his chosen puppet dies by my hand right here!"
"Hahahaha…"
The God of Light ascended to his peak height, then snapped his translucent, delicate wings shut and plummeted!
"Buzz——!"
Hurricane-force winds from his colossal wings whipped hundred-meter waves that smashed the "Secondary God" standing on the reef!
Immediately followed the God of Light’s retribution!
"Zap——!"
Extending six pairs of limbs from his thorax, he splayed two terrifying mandibles wide for a vicious strike!
Yet this wasn’t the crux!
"Hmph, do deities brawl by bodily collision?"
"How idiotic! How crude!"
"Begone—Light-Severing Spike!"
"Whoosh——!"
A colossal beam of radiance erupted from the God of Light’s posterior.
This was his strategic magic!
One strike sufficed to slay a chief deity!
In prior battles against chaos gods, the God of Light had used this unique strategic magic to kill a chaos evil god claiming "lowest rank" strength.
Back then, he remained chaos’ staunchest foe.
Who could have imagined that the light of this world had fallen so quickly!
However, whether it fell or not did not matter to the Secondary God standing on that reef.
“Whoosh——!”
Under the hurricane stirred by the wings, the seawater boiled suddenly again; this time, waves erupted from the ocean floor and were even more magnificent and gigantic!
“What!?”
The God of Light screamed!
Amidst the waves, something horrifying had appeared!
The reef beneath the Secondary God surged upward violently.
“Whoosh… glub glub…”
His wild, hungry eyes stared at the God of Light in the sky, filled with covetousness and greed!
—-
Guided by the young lady Trilobite, Trilobite had arrived at a place resembling shallow sea.
He saw the big bug patrolling the sea surface and quickly hatched a hunting plan—the same old trick, using the young lady Trilobite as bait.
“Great teamwork!”
“Perfect for fishing!”
“Having eaten much seafood, I figured tasting the land’s delicacies sounded good too.”
Trilobite, with his young lady Trilobite above him, faced the monstrous creature ahead.
It was truly a monster!
“What a huge bug!”
This creature had enormous compound eyes, sharp mandibles, transparent wings, and a long abdomen!
Below the abdomen, there seemed to be a stinger!?
Although this bug was far shorter than the 1.5-meter-long true finned fish in length, bugs usually gave the impression of being small; seeing a large one naturally triggered instinctive discomfort in humans.
Fortunately, Trilobite had been a guide and researcher at the natural history museum, and his extensive knowledge had prepared him mentally for this.
“This is the ancient giant dragonfly, right!?”
“Wingspan of 1.2 meters, bigger than the largest specimen in the museum!”
“The back also had a hair-like structure different from modern dragonflies.”
“That was quite normal.”
In fact, the relationship between the giant dragonfly and modern dragonflies was quite distant. Simply copying its features in reconstructions could be misleading.
“And I hadn’t heard of the giant dragonfly having a stinger!?”
“A new species?”
Trilobite watched as the giant dragonfly charged toward his forehead with unstoppable force, instantly using nearly all his magic power to encase his forehead in 29 layers of Ball Joint Armor!
“However, bigger is better.”
“Larger means more meat!”
Trilobite licked his lips, swinging his tail vigorously, propelling his body out of the seawater, and collided fiercely with the massive giant dragonfly ahead!
