Chapter 226: Finally Learned to Walk!

"Not bad, not bad."

Trilobite looked at the 50,000 points of Chaos Energy and smiled happily.

He finally didn’t have to be a "seal" anymore.

To be honest, calling Trilobite a seal was a bit flattering; after all, seals are archosaurs and mammals, and they’re quite evolved pinnipeds.

They had thick layers of fat and big eyes.

When young, they were pure white and very cute; even though they grew plump like a meat worm, those big, watery eyes and round faces still gave humans a strong sensory jolt, making the Horror Upright Apes find them adorable.

Trilobite came from a lizard-like Gasmarosaurus.

Although growing larger meant an overall size increase without distortion, adding air sacs made the body cavity swell, turning his whole form round.

But lizard-like creatures focus on "majestic" looks over cuteness; their faces usually lacked muscle and fat, appearing sharp-angled.

Majestic as they were, they often missed out on delicate features.

Gasmarosaurus was no different.

The "Gasmarosaurus" that got round as a ball and couldn’t move still looked worse than seals.

Only the blur in the "consciousness condensation" aura made Angna mistake him for a seal.

But now, this "less cute seal" state was finally ending!

"Go!"

"Boost leg strength!"

"Give me long legs…"

【You purchased basic leg extension and enhancement, costing 10,000 Chaos Energy.】

Though Trilobite eagerly awaited his long legs,

"The intermediate leg extension and enhancement cost 60,000!"

He couldn’t afford it.

With no choice, since he couldn’t buy legs, he had to…

"Change the pelvis and leg bone link, just make do!"

【You purchased the Y-shaped pelvic and leg bone coupling kit, costing 40,000 Chaos Energy.】

"Stand straighter!"

"Okay, no long legs, still dragging along with short legs."

"Ah, not totally dragging; at least the chassis rose a bit."

"At least my species changed!"

The system showed the "original Gasmarosaurus type" species had changed.

After all, Trilobite no longer had to drag his belly to move, and his size grew a lot!

【Ding——!】

He opened the panel to check his attributes.

"Air Sac-Crocodile…"

"Indeed, it did look similar."

The air sac-crocodile was a lizard-like creature that lived in the Early Triassic Period and could be considered a true dragon.

To be honest, both the real air sac-crocodile and Trilobite’s current appearance looked quite comical.

They had a huge, almost disproportionate skull.

Their head-to-body ratio reached about one to five, possibly close to one to four, making them odd among predators.

Their bodies were very strong, but their legs were short, and their tails weren’t long, making them look clumsy and not very smart.

In short, the look could be described in one word—foolish.

However, despite their appearance, the air sac-crocodile was the first in the lizard-like group to use the "Y" shaped pelvis, letting their legs stand upright rather than sticking out from the sides.

This was very important for how lizard-like creatures evolved.

Early true dragons like Gasmarosaurus and other ancient crocodiles didn’t have this; their legs stayed on the sides.

Although the large-headed creature might not have seemed fast, having upright limbs and a belly that didn’t drag allowed it to leave water better, move to more places, and improve agility.

This was probably why the air sac-crocodile dared to grow such a big head.

"Well, creatures like the air sac-crocodile didn’t exist."

"Because where would the air sac breathing system come from in an air sac-crocodile?"

Trilobite felt like a patchwork creature.

He now had the "saber teeth" extended from Duncker’s fish jaw, got the olfactory membranes from sharks, and the Lorentz Jar; he also had scale armor like a crocodile, with glands that could make slime in the gaps of the armor.

And now, he had the "Y" pelvic structure of the "progressive true dragon."

A super patchwork creature combining lizard-like, archosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and shield fish was born!

However, the system seemed to judge paleo creatures by appearance alone, settling for rough visual matches. It barely cared about internal details, merely adding footnotes to the creatures’ names.

"Fine, air sac-crocodile it is."

"At least it has decent mobility both in water and on land."

With this thought…

“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”

Trilobite slowly emerged from his dormant "cave," reentering the "Bubble World."

"Now, slightly hungry."

"Where should I go?"

Just then, a youthful female voice echoed in his mind.

【Uncle, what’s wrong? You seem troubled.】

Hearing this gentle voice, Trilobite brightened.

"Uncle here wants to eat."

"But this lake seems empty."

"I want to find other lakes, but don’t know the way."

"Little Zizi, can you help me?"

【Mhm… I can!】

Then Trilobite froze.

“Wow!”

“This is…”

He almost wanted to plant a kiss on that little girl.

—-

"Ah, everyone’s doing thrilling work."

"Why must I handle these tedious chores?"

Sylvia scratched her head, golden locks now disheveled.

Her frustration was understandable.

Angna led liberation movements in the "Canaan" Bubble World. Albert Drake patrolled the Sea of Ether, ferrying supplies and wounded for war organizations scattered across Bubble Worlds.

Loseta’s petite demigod frame made her ideal for infiltrating new worlds.

Living saints handled grand missions—that made sense.

Even fellow Purity Officers dispersed across Bubble Worlds to serve the Giant God. Yet Sylvia, prized for administrative skills, got stuck managing Tritium’s trivial affairs:

"Sigh…"

"Protium and Deuterium Clans feuding over ‘Chosen Warrior’ quotas."

"Dew distribution from the Holy Tree of Giant God…"

"Complaints about Valaharl’s ‘Death War Organization’ frightening children…"

"What nonsense is this?!"

"Only comfort is…"

She glanced beside her.

Little Zizi lay on the bed, coloring a white sheet with crayons—something resembling a map.

Her pale legs kicked playfully in the air.

Sylvia’s heart melted.

Zizi was unbearably adorable.

“Zizi, what are you making?”

The girl looked up earnestly. “A gift for the Giant God.”

“A Five Hundred Worlds map!”

Sylvia smiled.

How endearing, she thought.

The child scribbled chaotic lines as a "map" to offer the deity.

But with such pure intentions, surely the Giant God wouldn’t mind?
