Chapter 220: Super Expensive, But Absolutely Worth It Organ!

“Oh!”

“Oh oh!”

“Oh oh oh!”

Trilobite watched as the Chaos Energy soared, exclaiming how amazing it was.

In almost an instant, he had gained thirty thousand points of Chaos Energy!

“Although there was a slight time difference between receiving Chaos Energy and using magic, it only took a few hours.”

“It was faster than transferring money between different banks, very good.”

“Now that I have…”

He looked at the System.

About 450,000 or more.

And it was still slowly rising.

His “spawn” continuously provided him with Chaos Energy; although it was a small amount, it was almost uninterrupted, accumulating bit by bit.

Of course, it gathered quickly but was spent just as fast.

This time, Trilobite had been saving his Chaos Energy to collect enough for a crucial evolutionary organ!

Once he obtained this precursor organ, he would proceed to grow larger!

“In short, let’s make big news!”

He entered the "Evolution STEAM" interface, browsing through that key evolutionary organ.

It was actually quite easy to find.

Just look for the costly options!

“This is it!”

【Early Air Sac Breathing Circulatory System (DLC Integrated Version) Cost: 230,000 Chaos Energy】

“Damn it!”

“How can I not have this thing now that I’m a true dragon!?”

The true dragon, especially the bird-neck true dragon, was so strong on land due to this system’s presence, which granted a gigantic growth capability that no archosaurs could match.

Not only did it help the bird-neck true dragon acquire a large amount of oxygen during activity and enhance its mobility, but it also supported the body, reducing the weight for its huge size.

Many raptors appeared large, but in reality, their bodies were very lightweight.

Take the golden eagle, for instance.

With a wingspan of two meters, when it spread its wings to soar, it appeared enormous, creating a heavy sense of oppression; they could attack small herbivores like rabbits and even small ungulates.

However, the truth was that a two-meter wingspan golden eagle weighed only about 5 to 6 kilograms, roughly the same weight as a large orange cat.

Forget about house cats; even wildcats or leopard cats, which were about the same size and also preyed on small rodents and rabbits, were on the golden eagle’s menu.

In encounters, the battle was almost one-sided, with house cats, wildcats, and leopard cats only managing to flee in panic, completely unable to mount an effective resistance against the predator.

Aside from that, raptors weighing around 5 kilograms had also killed and eaten creatures like servals, raccoons, badgers, coyotes, subadult wolves, and Canadian lynxes.

Saying insects could match others pound-for-pound was nonsense—who weighed as little as an insect?

But theropod dinosaurs (including birds) were genuinely formidable at equal weights.

The key to all this was their incredible air sac breathing system!

“So charging such a high price actually makes sense.”

“And…”

Trilobite suddenly remembered.

He was still stuck in the “gill-lung hybrid” phase. Though he was a Gasmarosaurus, he oddly had salamander-like gill filaments behind his head. His lungs remained painfully primitive, never upgraded.

It was downright embarrassing for a true dragon.

This did have one advantage: Trilobite could breathe underwater using those gill filaments.

By keeping his metabolism low, he could stay submerged indefinitely.

Of course, vigorous activity required storing enough oxygen beforehand.

…

In short, lungs as primitive as “Hainapidon’s” also drove up the “air sac breathing system’s” cost.

Upgrading from a rifle to an automatic rifle might not need many industrial improvements. But upgrading from a stone spear to an electromagnetic railgun? That’s a whole different level of trouble.

Trilobite needed a heap of DLCs just to get “entry-level” air sac lungs.

One comfort was that buying DLCs in bulk saved money compared to piecemeal upgrades.

This made sense.

Applying “DLC expansion packs” repeatedly would require major bodily overhauls each time, hiking “costs.” Doing it all at once meant only one major reconstruction.

So besides growing larger, Trilobite preferred saving up for big upgrades.

“Alright, decision made!

“Air sac lungs!”

“Now I’ll be a Gasmarosaurus with an air sac breathing system!”

“Hahahaha…”

Trilobite laughed wildly, utterly thrilled.

【This upgrade requires extended time. You will enter hibernation.】

“Fair enough.”

“Only natural.”

With that, Trilobite slowly crawled back to the City of Dimensions within the Bubble World and began hibernating.

“Hmm…”

“Hope that customer likes the trial experience.”

“And buys the full version next.”

"However, no matter what, time to sleep first."

Trilobite slipped back into slumber.

He had no idea how much impact his recent "consultation" had caused several demon gods, nor what his subordinate spawn were up to.

None of this concerned Trilobite, who was caught between dreams and the void.

A colossal surprise emerged!

He laughed heartily in his dream.

"Holy shit!"

"A whole air sac lung? Such a windfall!?"

—-

"Buzz—!"

"Hahahaha…"

"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!"

"Flesh offering to the Skull Throne!"

"Hungry… so hungry…"

"More…"

In the void, Gimmerly beat her wide and agile False Body wings, darting back and forth at blinding speed.

Her reason was utterly overwhelmed by flight’s exhilaration, drowning completely in the joy brought by the "wind from the void."

She even thought…

"I quit being a deity!"

"Being a beast is pure bliss!"

"And…"

"Screech—!"

She rocketed upward again before plunging downward, jaws gaping wide!

"Flap… flap… flap…"

Panicked wingbeats erupted below her—

The Outer Gods from the Void who’d tried intercepting her earlier.

Usually these creatures strutted about arrogantly, sneering at the Chaos Demon God while flaunting their void-flight skills.

Even flight-capable demon gods like Gimmerly or the "Outer Predator" could do nothing about them.

But now…

"Times have changed!"

"You insect deities!"

"Whoosh—!"

Gimmerly’s dive bottomed out…

"Awooo—!"

Her teeth clamped onto a Void Outer God!

"Squelch—!"

The captured god wailed pitifully—"Big sister, I was wrong!"

To such pleas? Gimmerly had one answer—"Too late!"

After receiving the "First Embrace (trial version)," she suddenly craved divine flesh—especially that of Chaos Demon God and Void Outer Gods!

Her False Body compelled her, branding new instincts into her mind.

"No wonder it’s called First Embrace…"

"How vicious!"

"But for this newfound power? A trivial cost!"

Just as Gimmerly reveled in triumph…

【Trial period ending soon.】

【Purchase the complete Divine Body Modification Package for dedicated consultation services.】

"This…"

Gimmerly froze.

Fury tore the words from her throat:

"What kind of deity pulls this crap!?"
