Chapter 250
by fanqienovelChapter 250: Another Madman Arrives
“Ha ha ha ha…”
“Among mortals, you’re quite strong, but to us, you’re nothing to fear!”
The etheric worms mocked mortals’ foolishness and cowardice, darting in and out of the ground while human battleships and warriors watched helplessly.
Though the Fourth Living Saint dashed around like a firefighter putting out fires, losses among the Giant God followers kept mounting.
For the etheric worms, killing and devouring humans was secondary; they craved amusement.
They wanted to see mortals’ frustration and despair when their utmost efforts still failed to save their own people.
These dark emotions were their finest feast!
Soon came something that thrilled them even more.
“Outer Gods from the Void!”
“Everyone, take cover!”
“They’re diving! Diving!”
“All Chosen Ones warriors, assemble! Rally now!”
“Flag officer, raise the banner!”
“Second lieutenant, where’s your Holy Light from the Sun cannon? Haul it out!”
…
The Chosen Ones warriors gathered, dragging heavy weapons into position to face the diving Outer Gods.
They didn’t know whether their weapons could harm the Outer Gods, but protecting fellow humans and saving every possible life was the mission given by the living saint!
The Giant God’s own decree!
Though the Giant God gave no clear orders, hadn’t He shown His will—to save—by blocking the Sea of Ether’s flood with His divine body, neutralizing the etheric liquid with demon god blood!?
“Bzzzz—!”
The maddening “void murmurs” of the Outer Gods grew louder, crumbling even Chosen Ones warriors’ resolve under the terrifying buzzing.
Some new warriors in full armor felt their skin itch fiercely!
They fought the urge to scratch with all their will.
But already the Outer Gods closed in!
The etheric worms’ cheers and jeers battered their ears. Under this twin assault, many Chosen Ones warriors weakened before the fight even started.
Mortals remained mortals.
Even the enhanced “Giant God Chosen Ones” stood feeble before the Outer Gods.
“Ha! You’re done for!”
“Hey! Outer Gods brothers, smash ’em!”
Amid the onlookers’ roaring cheers, a sharp-eyed etheric worm yelled: “Look!”
“What’s that!?”
Indeed, trailing that group of Outer Gods from the Void came something even vaster and more horrifying.
It loomed like a dark cloud, shrouding those Outer Gods while casting an evil shadow brimming with the power of chaos upon the crumbling land!
“We’re finished…”
“Ah! Help us—!”
“It’s the Chaos Demon God! The Chaos Demon God!”
Nobody anticipated that after the "Bubble World" shattered, a chaos deity would drive its subordinate Outer Gods to hunt down humanity’s scattered survivors.
Generally, no chaos deity would bother.
Not out of mercy, but because it was pointless and wasted time.
Driving the Outer Gods each time consumed considerable resources. With the "Bubble World" doomed, any escaping humans were mere strays.
Finishing off strays brought no gain. Pouring such resources into dust-like humans made no sense.
Yet this “insane” Chaos Demon God sowed despair among all humans.
Worse still…
Angna slowly opened her eyes.
Staring at the colossal shadow, she cried out through the Soul Network, her voice trembling: “This thing…”
“This thing ranks above core councilor-level!”
If the joint assault of etheric worms and Outer Gods might still be held back by countless Chosen Warriors and "flat-shaped battleships," allowing some Sotiko people to retreat… adding an “insane” core councilor-level Chaos Demon God…
Then every strategy truly failed.
Even Angna’s avatar body would likely falter!
The Giant God had to act personally!
But if the Giant God intervened now…
“Crash… Crash…”
The Sea of Ether’s raging roar grew louder in the distance. Etheric liquid already flooded low-lying areas.
Though temporarily neutralized, trees and buildings submerged in it visibly crumbled at alarming speed.
Should the Giant God unleash his power and join the battle, the Sea of Ether’s surge would instantly engulf the entire city of the temple!
…
“Is there truly no way?”
“Tsk…”
“Then only…”
Angna gritted her teeth and stepped forward, relying on the Giant God-granted avatar body to confront the diving Outer Gods and Chaos Demon God.
Even one more second mattered!
The Outer Gods and terrifying Chaos Demon God drew near!
Impact was imminent!
Then…
"Whoosh…"
"Whoosh…"
"Roar—!"
The Outer Gods from the Void skimmed over the ground; although their dive and low passes created a fierce wind that knocked many Warriors over, surprisingly, they caused little harm!
As the Outer Gods passed by, they sent the feelings in the "murmurs of the void" into the minds of the mortals.
It was fear!
These Outer Gods were not here to be malicious.
Though many Outer Gods, like etheric worms, loved tormenting and eating mortals, taking their "despair" as bait, this group had a different aim.
They were just escaping!
"Escaping?"
An etheric worm eyed the panicked and rushing Chaos Demon Gods, wondering what they feared.
The answer came fast!
Since the Outer Gods were prey, running for their lives, the hunter must have been close behind!
Who the hunter was became clear!
"How was this possible!?"
"The Chaos Demon God was really hunting the Outer Gods?"
"This…"
The strong Chaos Demon God gave no time for the etheric worms to think; he flapped his wings and chased the Outer Gods, diving toward the earth!
"Whoosh—!"
When that shadow came down, nearly all etheric worms shook with fear.
Because he was mumbling scary "god words"—"Meat!"
"More meat!"
"More sacrifices!"
"Give it to me!"
"Roar—!"
Those were words only a god gone mad, without reason, would speak—"blood sacrifice for the Giant God! Flesh offering!"
