Chapter 251
by fanqienovelChapter 251: Can Blowing Up the Service Area Lead to a Promotion?
Gimmerly felt like she was going crazy!
Ever since undergoing intermediate modifications to her Divine Body—where wing-like membranes grew between her limbs—she’d vaguely touched the "Powers of the void"!
But that was all: just a fleeting brush.
It felt like standing at the threshold, yet being barred from entering. Maddening!
Never underestimate such frustration.
Being so close yet utterly denied breeds extreme greed and madness.
Worse still, no one could resist this temptation.
"Whoosh… Whoosh…"
"Tsk…"
Gimmerly snapped from her thoughts.
Her pupils contracted sharply as she dodged branches of the Fantasy Tree of Subspace, chasing wildly after the Outer Gods from the Void.
She rode turbulent waves, constantly shifting her limbs and reshaping her wing membranes—altering their size and form—letting the void’s power lift and propel her.
Compared to before, this flight felt unprecedented.
Yet…
"Not enough!"
"Nowhere near enough!"
"More!"
"I need stronger power!"
Though the Outer Gods seemed cornered, her inability to truly fly—only glide—caused hunts to fail at the last moment!
"No!"
"Not acceptable!"
"I must hunt!"
"More prey! Hunt!"
"Otherwise…"
That "Giant God" had carved a bizarre mark inside her!
In human form, she’d seen it: the "mark" visibly staining her "human projection"’s skin!
As a connoisseur of manipulating mortals—who reveled in making Bubble World High Priests, generals, and emperors her lapdogs—she knew exactly where males typically branded females…
A few centimeters below the navel.
The mark usually took a "hollow heart shape," decorated with intricate or simple patterns.
As for its purpose…
Ahem…
Of course, she never thought the Giant God would swap positions with demigods like those male mortals might.
But the mark the Giant God gave her truly shocked her.
"This was the first time she had seen a mark placed on the stomach."
Indeed, the mark given to her by the Giant God was on her "human projection’s" stomach, and its shape was very "strange," like a huge, gaping mouth!
This mark perfectly showed the Giant God’s "beastly" style.
It was this mark that kept creating a feeling of "Hunger," stirring Gimmerly’s Soul and forcing her to hunt non-stop!
She could only satisfy her hunger by constantly eating various Outer Gods and chaos deities.
The mark also told her that when the Hunger faded and the "mark" was fed, it would be time to reopen the "bridge of communication" with the Giant God!
“At that moment, perhaps her long-held wish would…”
“Would…”
The Authority of the void was so tempting!
But whether Gimmerly got her wish depended on if the Outer Gods she chased gave her any leeway.
Usually, they weren’t willing to.
Like right then…
"Buzz—!"
The Outer Gods gathered in groups, shifting spots constantly and covering each other, making it impossible for Gimmerly to lock onto her target!
Their quick, changing flight paths made her fail again and again.
Their fast dives also caused Gimmerly…
“Roar—!”
Gimmerly yelled out and quickly fixed her flying stance.
Then…
“Thud—!”
“Boom—!”
Her massive Divine Body hit the ground hard, but luckily, Gimmerly had readied herself for landing, adjusting her pose and using a cushioning spell.
“Zzz—!”
Her giant claws dug a huge trench dozens of kilometers long, flipping "flat battleships" and scaring some "etheric worms" on the way.
Still, she landed safely in the end.
And her pose wasn’t too ugly.
But Gimmerly had no time to gloat over her decent "landing pose."
She was hungry!
Starving!
Driven wild by the "Giant God’s mark," Gimmerly was in a frenzy!
She looked at the etheric worm beneath her feet, which she had knocked unconscious, and without hesitation, swallowed it whole!
"Gulp… gulp…"
The flesh and blood of the deity brought her immense pleasure, and she even felt that her Hunger had lessened a lot.
"I see!"
"I was too narrow-minded!"
"By flying in the void, I gained the power for a dimension-reducing strike against creatures crawling on the ground!"
"Why chase after those Outer Gods from the Void?"
"Isn’t it better to attack those in the Primal Mud or the Sea of Ether?!"
"Hahaha…"
Gimmerly grinned wickedly, eyeing the "swarming" etheric worms around her.
Nothing more to say!
Let the hunt begin!
"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!"
"Flesh offered to the Divine Throne!"
—-
"Burp—!"
Trilobite burped contentedly.
He checked his Chaos Energy and saw it had hit 150,000 points again!
"Nice! Nice!"
"Well, I can move now, right?"
"Let’s go…"
Trilobite stood up.
The rushing "water flow" surged in from behind him, pouring into the valley at his back and swallowing the small depression covered in moss and countless ant hills.
Inside that pit, heaps of trilobite worms floated toward him.
The "Cliff Lizard" swam nimbly through the water too.
Trilobite looked into the distance and saw several "lakes" had merged into one, with the land inside them all gone under water.
This lake area was totally done for.
"Hmm…"
"What awful customer service!"
"But no big deal; I didn’t lose out here in this lake area."
Even with earthquakes and landslide lakes collapsing, Trilobite had eaten everything; though all those "multi-finned fish" went to his spawn, he didn’t mind.
After all, Trilobite was about twice the size of a brown bear, so the "multi-finned fish" were just tiny snacks for him.
Giving them to the young lady and his spawn wasn’t a loss.
The only issue was…
"Uh…"
"Hey, crazy lady?"
"You alright?"
"Your home’s flooded."
【No worries!】
【For I shall rise to the lofty heights of unbearable cold!】
【No one starts at the top, not even gods. But the Throne of Heaven’s empty time is ending, and soon I’ll stand at the peak!】
"Damn!"
"Wreck the service area and still get promoted."
"Never heard of that…"
"Whatever, seeing you so lively puts me at ease."
【Haha! Thanks for the praise!】
【You’re really a gentle soul.】
【But speaking like this might be the last time.】
【To repay you for the great show, before I lose the capability to talk to you directly, here’s a little gift!】
"A gift?"
Trilobite perked up.
Right then…
【Ding——!】
The system chimed.
