Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Even if I die! Outside, it won’t change my faith!

“Great Ancient Blood Warrior, Lord Kukukwanquak!”

In the jungle, a tall and sturdy creature knelt before an even bigger, mountain-like being.

“I think those ‘Sea Guests’ don’t look trustworthy.”

“We cannot fully trust them!”

From a distance, it was strange to see a warrior kneeling on one knee and the being he knelt before.

Their limbs looked like humans’, but they had “reverse joint” structures at the ankles; their Scale Armor shone with dazzling light, and a long tail trailed behind, occasionally waving.

When the one titled “Ancient Blood,” Lord Kukukwanquak, turned his head, his appearance became more shocking.

An oversized feather headdress covered his head, and around his neck hung a necklace of demon skulls, chaotic creature teeth, and dried antennae strung together.

Generally, most mortals kept away from these demon and chaotic creature “parts” with respect; because even dead, demons and many chaotic creatures carried strong Chaos Energy.

This energy caused severe chaos corruption, making carriers hear strange whispers and murmurs, see hallucinations, and have nightmares until they went mad and became part of chaos.

Even the Chosen Warriors, who studied the Holy Light from the Sun to fight chaos, disliked wearing these things.

Though these objects no longer affected them, the Chosen Warriors preferred to sacrifice them directly to the Giant God.

But what surprised them most was his head.

It was a lizard face!

If Trilobite were here, he would shout: “Wow, lizard people!”

“Joy of the Lizard!”

But on closer look, it was different.

The head was actually a helmet made from a lizard-like beast’s skull; the Scale Armor seemed made from a scaled beast’s skin. Yet, these armors had a mysterious “activation” that made them look alive, like real giant lizards.

In truth, that was how it was.

This Bubble World was named Sotiko, a jungle world.

No industrial civilization like Valaharl grew there, not even the sword-and-magic medieval world of Themis.

The Sotiko people stayed at a primitive tribal level.

They had few people and only handcraft industries. Only because of “magic,” this special power, could they build grand structures like tiered pyramids in the thick rainforest.

Magic also let them train and change their bodies, go deep into the jungle, and hunt very dangerous beasts with simple weapons.

The deadly jungle gave birth to scary beasts with magic power.

After hunters barely survived killing them, they brought the skin, bones, and meat back to camp. There, it was skinned and activated into the current gear.

Thanks to gifts from these beasts, Sotiko survived until now.

But as pyramid cities fell one by one, this world might not last long; and the great will holding it up—Sotiko—fell into total madness.

The nasty chaotic demons attacked Sotiko with endless mental strikes.

In the long fight against the chaos deity’s direct will, Sotiko went crazier; she ate all order deities in a frenzy, taking their souls as her own; she turned the Will of the World into a strong but unseen deity to battle the Chaos Demon God.

It was said the powerful beasts in the jungle, which gave food and weapons to the Sotiko people and tested warriors, were made from Sotiko’s will, magic, and stuff!

Sotiko itself gradually fell from a maternal "Will of the World" into the cold "God of Evolution" and brutal "Blood God."

Whether the chaotic demons first captured Sotiko’s last pyramid city cluster or Sotiko was driven completely insane by the chaotic demons, both meant the end of this world.

Originally, seizing the last pyramid city stronghold should have happened months ago. Similarly, the Blood God and God of Evolution Sotiko should have lost her final will under the chaos deity’s mental pressure yesterday.

Yet both events faced delays.

First, a group of "Sea Guests"—outsiders—suddenly infiltrated.

They joined the battle before the final pyramid fell, striking the demon legion hard from behind. Their assault bewildered the demons, causing total collapse.

The Chaos Demon God’s conquest plans suffered severe setbacks.

Later, these strange "Sea Guests" waged guerrilla warfare against chaotic demons across Sotiko’s vast jungles, significantly hampering and weakening the demon offensive.

Combined with the Sotiko people’s efforts on the front lines, the last pyramid city cluster held firm!

Moreover, the "God of Evolution" Sotiko withstood yesterday’s mental assault from the Chaos Demon God.

Not because her will strengthened, but because the Chaos Demon God halted his attack on Sotiko at the final moment before victory.

He seemed distracted by other matters.

As for the reason…

The Ancient Blood Warrior, Sotiko’s "Chosen Warrior" Kukukwanquak, eyed the armored warrior before him.

He’d considered himself tall (even with bio-armor), yet these warriors matched his height. Unlike Sotiko people, they wore sealed suits of armor.

Their heads were encased in tight helmets, with goggle-like protectors over the eye-slits.

These "armored cans" radiated cold dread, clashing with the rainforest.

But their "camouflage cloaks" shifted colors like chameleons, blending them perfectly into surroundings while masking physical, chemical, and magical signatures.

Such gear likely enabled their free movement through deep jungles.

Yet this confirmed them as outsiders!

Sotiko people distrusted foreigners intensely.

Worse, these outsiders worshipped a different deity—the "Giant God."

Now these "pagans" demanded permission to preach!

To convert Sotiko people?

Unthinkable.

Predictably, the half-kneeling warrior snapped at the outrageous demand:

“Pagans!”

“Sea Guests!”

“Don’t think repelling chaotic demons lets you play saviors meddling with our faith!”

“Our loyalty to the ‘God of Evolution’ Sotiko is eternal!”

“We’d sooner die! Leap into chasms! Perish by chaos! Than worship your Giant God!”

“Spread your heresies again and…”

“Eh?”

Kukukwanquak’s raised hand cut him off!

The Ancient Blood Warrior calmly studied the silent armored figure.

“True. As Ancient Blood Warrior Mankekobak declared, Sotiko people’s devotion is absolute.”

“Test it if you dare!”

“But your Giant God’s survival remains… uncertain.”

Kukukwanquak gazed afar where two colossal wills clashed, shaking the world itself!

“That’s no Outer God from the Void—it’s something far stronger. More terrifying!”

“Something formidable has arrived over there!”

“This is no hour for preaching.”

“Focus instead on your…”

Suddenly—

“Buzz——!”

“Roar————!”

The Chaos Demon God’s howls of agony echoed through Sotiko!

His wails carried two clashing emotions—terror and ecstasy!
