Chapter 7: No Waste of Food, A Great Deed
“No—!”
“Help! Help! The Grim Reaper is coming!”
“Monsters! Devils! Giant demons! Despicable executioners!”
The demons fled in panic.
These terrifying demons, who took joy in spreading fear and slaughtering the innocent, probably never imagined they’d call others “demons” or “executioners”!
But it happened—something beyond their understanding.
A fortress thought unbreakable, with strength rivaling a Chaos God’s body, had been shattered in two by one brutal headbutt from that terrifying Giant God!
The Demon Prince, fleeing frantically on his chaos whale, knew the chaos fortress ranked mid-tier in physical durability even within the Chaos Council. Yet it broke so easily…
“Terrifying!”
“Too terrifying!”
“What kind of monster is this!”
But the Demon Prince soon realized this “monster deity” wasn’t just powerful.
His cruelty likely surpassed even the chaos gods!
For example…
“Whew——!”
The terror that crushed the fortress raised its colossal frame, circling the broken ruins.
Its abyss-like maw gaped wide and inhaled sharply!
“Slurp——!”
A horrific current yanked the Demon Prince and his chaos whale toward that chasm of a mouth!
No matter how violently the chaos whale thrashed its tail, they slid steadily into the “abyss.”
Yet its struggle was effective.
Demons around the prince got sucked into that void-like gullet one by one.
The Giant God harvested lives relentlessly, sparing none!
“Demon!”
“Stay away!”
“Ah——!”
Screams echoed through the ocean, pitches warping like waves.
When the Giant God’s murderous intent finally overpowered the chaos whale, even the fortress’s strongest—the Demon Prince—cracked.
The cruelest chaos god would stop after enough slaughter, wrath vented and satisfied.
But this thing…
Its hunger for killing was endless!
He felt he could only be satisfied by wiping out all the demons before him!
Terrified, he looked back at the strangely shaped Giant God, crying uncontrollably.
“No—!”
“I don’t want to! I don’t want to die!”
“Ah—!”
But the Giant God showed no mercy.
Seeing his pleas were useless, Demon Prince, full of rage and fear, demanded of the Giant God…
“What deep grudge do we Chaos have against you?!”
“Why! Why must you wipe us all out!?”
The Giant God didn’t answer; he was like a huge death sentence, or a merciless natural disaster, bringing grief wherever he went, leaving no one alive.
“Ah—!”
With a long scream, the completely broken Demon Prince was sucked into the abyss-like giant mouth by the huge force.
—-
“Burp—!”
Trilobite gulped down the last big, troublesome “plankton.”
“Hmm, that size, must be a small shrimp or something.”
“Hey, look at my eyesight.”
“Anyway, great!”
Trilobite came from a poor family, so he got used to not wasting food; he slurped up every bit around the ram’s horn crinoid, whether “plankton” or “small shrimp,” leaving nothing behind.
Totally clean, not a single one missed!
“I didn’t waste any food—I did a good thing!”
But…
“I think I’m hearing things; I heard that biggest small shrimp asking what deep grudge I have, why I had to eat it.”
“Hmm, must be because I’ve been alone too long, no one to talk to, so it’s all in my head.”
“Never mind, time to evolve!”
Trilobite quickly forgot the small shrimp’s question and opened his panel.
[Chaos Energy: 1536/1000 (Evolution available)]
Trilobite was full and overjoyed.
Before, his Chaos Energy was down to 20, but after eating the “plankton” and “ram’s horn crinoid,” it jumped by 1516!
“Turns out I can’t look down on echinoderms; they gave me so much energy!”
Plus, he got a new reward.
[Hmph, you’re pretty good.]
【Congratulations, you have achieved the title “Echinoderm Destroyer.” Take a look at your reward.】
Trilobite received a chance to randomly draw a skill.
But the skill drawn was…
【Skill: Praise the Sun!】
【Description: It wasn’t just the Sun Knights who praised the sun; when life first left the heat vents on the ocean floor and ventured into a new world, they had to face the risk of energy running out. Luckily, evolution brought forth another endless energy source—the Sun, right before life!】
【When the first ancient bacteria stumbled and clumsily used retinal for photosynthesis, life took a huge step. So, young one, become light! Bring hope to life!】
【When you activate “Praise the Sun,” you can drive away darkness and evil, giving hope to everyone!】
【Magic Power Cost: 100】
“……”
What else was there to say?
“Go sit on the cold bench!”
What did he need that ball of light for?
He wasn’t an anglerfish.
“Never mind! Time to evolve!”
The STEAM-style “Evolution Shop” appeared before him again. Staring at the wide range of accessories, Trilobite squinted his eyes.
“Hmm…”
“Which one should I pick?”
—-
“That was amazing…”
“That fortress was made from the Chaos God who lost his divine power, and it had a full demon legion guarding it!”
“It got destroyed just like that! All in under half an hour!”
Both the “living saint” Sulya and other top officials, plus the regular soldiers, were stunned and awed by the Giant God’s great deeds.
Many soldiers and officers remembered that demon fortress.
They hadn’t chosen to be stuck in that trench and had attacked the Divine Body Fortress when first trapped.
But every time, they failed.
Inside the demon legion stationed there were many high-ranking demons with amazing fighting skills.
Their leader, the sly and scary Demon Prince, ripped apart over a dozen constructs and beat hundreds of warriors.
The Divine Body Fortress itself joined the fight fiercely, crushing the human counterattack almost right away.
But no matter how tough and wild the Divine Body Fortress was, or how brutal and cruel the demons were, it meant nothing before the Giant God.
All the ocean people saw the Giant God’s mighty battle from far off.
He lifted his Colossal Divine Body high and smashed it down hard on the Divine Body Fortress!
That hit shook the whole ocean floor; just the shockwave pushed several big mobile cities back dozens of meters!
It was this crash that snapped the Divine Body Fortress in defeat!
Demons wailed in mourning.
Their shrieks pierced even the ocean people’s ears kilometers away.
……
Now the ocean people finally believed—the Seventh Branch spoke truth!
God truly existed!
God held unmatched power!
God truly stood with them!
The siege by the chaos gods had officially ended!
God’s works needed no understanding—simple worship and gratitude sufficed.
People embraced, weeping with joy at divine grace.
They thanked the great deity, this "Giant God" who aided them, stray dogs without refuge!
"How mighty is God! He crushed our foes, granted fuel and artifact materials, and purged traitors among us!"
"He even broke our siege!"
"We must offer humble thanks and meager blessings."
"But how might we please God?"
All eyes turned to Sulya, first to encounter God and receive His favor.
This "living saint" surely knew the way!
Knight Sulya met their hopes.
"Drag them out!"
Disgust and hatred dripped from Sulya’s voice.
Though most prisoners lay half-dead and wretched, they earned no pity.
For these were captured "shapeshifting demons" and "chaos followers"—all unmasked by "God Trilobite’s" power.
"Time to atone for your sins!"
Sulya knelt, bowing toward the colossal, mist-shrouded figure on the distant sea.
As she rose…
"Schink—!"
A gleaming longsword flashed into her grip.
She halted before the first prisoner—a shapeshifting demon whose face had caved under a hammer blow.
Tenacious fiends clung to life despite such wounds.
This one had infiltrated as deputy minister.
"God craves sinners’ blood and souls!"
"Blood sacrifice!"
"Begin!"
"Great Giant God, my eternal master, accept these humble offerings!"
"Thank you for your blessings and shelter!"
The crowd below the altar chanted.
"Thank you for God’s blessings and shelter!"
Amid prayers and gratitude, Sulya swung her blade!
"Thud—!"
The demon’s head tumbled.
……
After repeated strikes, a small skull display took shape.
Yet the killing continued.
"Magnificent!"
"I feel it—God rejoices! God grows stronger!"
Eyes shut in rapture, Sulya licked her crimson lips with a scarlet tongue.
Drunk on slaughter, she raised a demon’s head and roared—
"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Offerings to the divine throne!"
But then…
"Rumble—!"
The earth quaked violently!
The knight stumbled and fell.
"Has God grown wrathful!?"
Trembling, she looked up—and witnessed an awe-inspiring sight!
