Chapter 70: Midway Through Battle, the Troop Line Was Severed
The chaos deity lay by the sea, his hill-like divine form covered in a smooth, thick dome of armor. It bore faint resemblance to the earliest form of the "Giant God."
Yet the aura radiating from him carried none of the Giant God’s "sacred" or "pure" brilliance.
Terrifying energy pulsed from within him. With every breath, corrosive gas infused with raging energy erupted from his "air vents," poisoning the land beneath.
The earth itself rotted and decayed.
Surrounding him like stars around the moon clustered numerous smaller deities.
Their sizes seemed unremarkable by comparison.
Some resembled tiny horseshoe crabs; others appeared as large whip-tailed scorpions.
All were chaos deities.
Led by "core councilor" Wabla, they had extended Subspace’s main roots to descend directly into the "Bubble World," clad in divine forms.
But these colossi didn’t charge the Order coalition. Instead, they hid within magical barriers, engaging in arcane warfare against Order deities.
They knew hill-sized Order deities likewise lurked behind the Order coalition, disguised while projecting magical force fields against the Chaos God.
Chaotic, frenzied magic clashed with orderly, structured energy—colliding and neutralizing across dimensions.
The confrontation had begun everywhere.
Yet now, the chaos faction’s momentum kept weakening!
"What’s happening with those God of Light devotees!?"
"How do they radiate such divine power!?"
Wabla had been shocked to find the ten-thousand-strong formation of "Light" worshippers fundamentally different from other Order deity units.
Their minds twisted into a single rope, merging into a vast "Collective Consciousness" surrounding the formation.
Hymns thundered across the battlefield. To their rhythm, Wabla glimpsed a shifting "monster" swimming above the troops!
Sometimes it manifested as a giant beetle; other times as an armored fish; then it became a wave-cutting shark!
The Collective Consciousness emitted magic and divine might rivaling his subordinate officials and hired Seatless Ones!
Though subtle, such power tipped the scales in the brutal magic suppression struggle.
Chaos gods should’ve dominated this arcane contest—yet this unexpected variable forced them into stalemate with Order Gods…
"Damn it!"
"But…"
Wabla clumsily shifted his feet, turning seaward.
"Once the twelve Demon Arks attack, all will be well!"
Just then—
"Buzz—!"
An Outer God from the Void skimmed the waves. Its winged appendages fluttered slowly, a thousand clustered eyes fixed on Wabla.
Having overheard, it seemed poised to speak… yet hesitated.
Eventually, he spoke up.
“Sir Councilor…”
“The twelve Demon Arks encountered an ambush from unknown deities on their way here, and they have…”
“They have all been wiped out!”
Wabla was stunned by this sudden news, his body trembling.
The front line was fiercely contested, victory hanging by a thread; now the troops were cut off, and reinforcements were lost…
A massive betrayal!
Chaos Demon God felt furious enough to vomit blood.
Of course, he couldn’t throw pencils or anything like that while engaged in magical combat.
He could only curse furiously!
“That was an order! I commanded the blood octopus Outer God to clear the ocean floor! They actually deceived me! They had been lying to me the whole time!”
“These Outer Gods… are a bunch of disloyal cowards!”
“A bunch of shameless, dirty liars! Traitors! So it was them causing trouble! Holding me back! I should really just ‘clean them up,’ just like the ‘God of Light’ did!”
While he was raging…
“Glub glub…”
Several bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and a few small octopus-like blood octopus Outer Gods emerged.
The client was angry; that was bad news! They needed to quickly explain!
“That… that…”
“We didn’t deceive! We didn’t deceive!”
“A new guy showed up! Swam out!”
“We killed him! He’s dead!”
“And we skinned him! Look! This is the skin!”
…
The blood octopus Outer Gods explained in a comical tone, each taking turns to speak.
They presented a huge “divine skin” to Wabla.
However, at this point, Wabla would not be fooled by their sweet words and a piece of completely worthless skin.
Although he did not know where this skin came from, he was certain he had been deceived!
Wabla was going to demand justice for the enormous commission he had paid and the almost ruined “Time of the End!”
“Die!”
“Liars!”
“Buzz—!”
Colossal magic power gathered before Wabla, whose divine body loomed like a hill.
A forbidden spell was about to unleash!
But at that moment…
“Gurgle gurgle…”
The blood octopus Outer Gods launched their countermeasures and interference; they wouldn’t just sit idle.
Chaotic, maddening symbols flooded Wabla’s mind, like a harmonious melody shattered by a drill boring into a wall!
The forbidden spell’s formation instantly slowed.
Worse still…
“Tsk…”
The moment his focus and magic shifted from the main battlefield, the pressure from chaos surged violently. The once-balanced magical struggle now favored the Order-side.
“I’ll settle accounts with you later!”
Wabla had to redirect his attention to the battlefield, gradually neutralizing the Order-side’s advantage.
“Run! Hurry!”
“It’s the Chaos Shark God! The Shark God!”
“Huge losses! Total loss!”
“Recover! Must recover!”
…
The blood octopus Outer Gods dared not linger, swiftly turning to plunge back into the sea, fleeing.
“Phew…”
Wabla quickly steadied himself.
“At this stage, to ensure the Time of the End proceeds smoothly, I must play my final trump card!”
—-
“Hmm…”
“The Chaos Energy from those belemnites and their symbiotic microbes is… way too little.”
Trilobite drifted through the sea, hauling his true finned fish body that had grown over 1.6 meters.
His Chaos Energy had barely reached 6,000 points.
All that from twelve belemnites!
Yet each gave less than 500?
That’s just terrible…
Six thousand points might’ve seemed substantial before, but ever since Trilobite became a proper-sized fish, all his evolutionary components became more demanding.
As his evolution advanced, each organ’s complexity increased, their interdependence deepening.
A single change in the "System" could ripple through everything.
“Anyway, need more food.”
Just as Trilobite wondered where to find larger prey in this barren lake…
“Swoosh…”
“Glub glub…”
The small flying vampire squids darted deeper into the "lake."
Spotting Trilobite, they flailed tentacles and blew bubbles before scrambling toward the lakeshore.
“Huh?”
Though unsure what happened, judging by their usual antics, Trilobite quietly trailed after them, heading toward the lake’s "shallows"!
