Chapter 84: The Strategy of the Blood Octopus Outer God! 1/8

"Hahaha… Ah! Trouble! Trouble!"

"Blinding light! So bright! So bright!"

"Familiar smell! Familiar! Familiar!"

…

The blood octopus Outer Gods, who’d been enjoying themselves, suddenly had their fun ruined.

Blinding light erupted from the "little bugs’ little fish," stinging their eyes so badly they covered them with chubby tentacles.

But the light lasted only moments before vanishing.

"Keep playing? Or stop?"

Though still voicing doubts, the blood octopus Outer Gods formed a circle by "tentacle-grabbing-tentacle," slowly retreating from the "little fish."

Clearly disappointed.

"Won’t play! Won’t play! Too scared!"

"Right! Right! They smell like the Great Ferocious Fish now! Great Ferocious Fish!"

"Great Ferocious Fish is vicious! Vicious Great Ferocious Fish!"

"Never forgets grudges! Holds grudges forever!"

"Can’t provoke! Dare not offend!"

"Play elsewhere! Had enough fun! Enough!"

…

The blood octopus deities had witnessed how the "Great Ferocious Fish" grew rapidly, cruelly devouring powerful Outer Gods and the Chaos Demon God one after another.

These clever Outer Gods knew their place—never provoke those beyond their reach.

Besides, they’d gained much from the "Great Ferocious Fish," even earning a "friendly" reputation. Future "cooperation" opportunities abounded—no need to offend it over mere "little fish."

And honestly, they’d played enough.

But blood octopus Outer Gods weren’t ordinary—they were schemers.

This might be an opportunity!

"Yes! Yes! Stop playing!"

"Escort them to their destination! Escort!"

"If the Great Ferocious Fish likes us later, it’ll cooperate more! Long live win-win! Win-win long live!"

"Long live win-win! Win-win long live!"

Chattering nonstop, the blood octopus Outer Gods not only stopped tormenting the "little fish" but spread their tentacles to gently steer currents, swimming alongside them.

Several Chaos Warships trying to approach got snapped in half by their tentacles and gobbled up.

"Oh my… this is…"

"Really!?"

"It worked!? Did that so-called ‘Giant God’ answer us!?"

"The attacks stopped! The attacks stopped!"

"We survived!"

"Ah——!"

"Hooray!"

Such shock, surprise, and celebration echoed repeatedly through every vessel of the "Ranger Ark Fleet."

But the surprises weren’t over!

"What’s that!"

"Outer God! The blood octopus Outer Gods haven’t left! But… strangely, they aren’t attacking!?"

"They’re keeping their distance, following us… Good heavens, they’re actually attacking approaching ‘Chaos Warships’!"

"The mad Outer Gods that attacked us moments ago are now guarding us!?"

Everyone aboard knelt with gratitude and joy.

A deity answering followers promptly was mercy.

A deity who relished slaughtering chaos was duty.

Bestowing precious gifts upon the "Ranger Ark" for such meager sacrifice was generosity.

Even the insane, cunning blood octopus Outer Gods grew uneasy and served obediently—that was power!

A deity embodying all four virtues? The "Ranger Ark" crew had never witnessed such.

"Ah…"

Ms. Arachne·Saraph sighed at the crowd’s satisfied gazes.

"It only proves other deities are unworthy of their stations."

"Shouldn’t fighting chaos and protecting homes be what deities do?"

…

Regardless, facts spoke louder than words.

No matter how extravagantly a deity’s preacher praised them, nothing matched the impact of a miracle witnessed firsthand.

Ms. Arachne·Saraph uttered no grandiose hymns glorifying the "Giant God"—yet through action, the Giant God proved who could truly lead them against the loathsome chaos!

"Ahem…"

The Captain tasked with "prayer" and receiving divine grace slowly stood up.

His vision remained impaired from the divine grace’s searing impact; recovery might take time.

But he discovered a new capability—he could perceive coordinates from a soul’s perspective.

Within the unknown chaos, only one coordinate shone clearly, pointing the way!

"Our long voyage through chaos in the ‘Quagmire Universe’ finally ends!"

"We’ve found our destination!"

Trilobite’s "Sludge Drilling Project" had progressed well over several days. The next lake lay within reach; he already smelled water’s rich scent.

Here, he paused his digging.

It was close enough—he could afford to wait.

Days of nonstop excavation had pushed him to his limit.

Rest was overdue, especially since his "symbiotic creature," the young lady Trilobite, needed guidance again.

"As expected… showing her my big treasure was too soon."

The young lady Trilobite trembled weakly after Trilobite’s "soothing." Sprawled on her belly, she gasped and murmured, revealing her smooth back and plump curves…

Were she human, Trilobite would’ve drooled with fascination.

But what could he do? She’d wandered into that "Evolution STEAM Store" again.

The browsing nearly broke her mind.

Only his timely "soothing" calmed her.

"Ah, I know you meant to help."

"Next time, be careful—curiosity kills the cat."

As his "symbiotic creature," Trilobite shared a one-sided bond with the young lady.

He sensed her emotions and grasped her intent, but she dared not touch his consciousness—the slightest brush drove her mad, forcing Trilobite to "soothe" (and sneak caresses)…

"Still, this time she found something interesting…"

"Perfect for my current project."

"You seem low on Chaos Energy—I’ll cover most of it."

"Pricey, though."

"One costs 2000, the other 1000—clears all my drilling-phase savings."

Trilobite referred to two items from Sulya’s browsing history—[Gene Sharing Among the Same Bacteria] and [Drilling-type Plate Limbs].
