Chapter 256
by fanqienovelChapter 256: Many Things Make You Forget Your Original Intentions
“This is…”
“The Tide of Destruction?”
Sylvia’s pupils shrank sharply.
“Click… click…”
High heels struck the ground as she stepped back half a pace.
“Splash—!”
“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”
Fire rain fell from the sky.
Countless wriggling monsters slammed into the ground!
They crashed down hard, broke apart, then started to come together again in a fixed way.
“Roar—!”
“Roar—!”
Abyssal Abominations, like giants, stood up one after another, roaring in anger as they began to march in groups toward the seaside of Themis!
The inland area had long been taken over by this Chaos Demon God, with nothing left to destroy.
These terrifying things, driven only by a wish to destroy, could only let out their endless need for chaos by the sea!
But this was just the start…
“Buzz—!”
“Buzz… buzz…”
Countless Chaos-infused Outer Gods flew down without end from the broken Crystal Walls.
They made disgusting noises and flew off into the distance.
It was clear that under their bellies hung things like “egg sacs,” with twisted, wriggling chaotic tentacles moving on them!
Though Sylvia knew these Outer Gods were like the etheric worms…
No, they were even weaker than etheric worms, but their numbers were truly scary!
“Hahaha…”
Right then, a loud mocking voice came from under her feet.
“Mortal, you see, the world’s end is now unavoidable!”
“Lasting this long? I respect your skill and bravery!”
“So I can give you a better way out—kill yourself!”
A strong mind pressure crashed down on Sylvia from above.
“Ugh…”
In a flash, it gave the “first generation Chosen One” a splitting headache, and her long legs shook without control.
Even though Sylvia had entered the sacred "mouth" of the Giant God and bathed in divine grace, she still could not withstand the pressure of "councilor level."
Her mind broke completely in an instant.
Sylvia was terrified to find that her hand was out of her control; it trembled while pulling a shiny dagger from her waist.
“Swish—!”
The cold light gleamed, aimed at her own throat!
“Oh no…”
As Sylvia was about to give in, her hand shaking, ready to stab the dagger into her throat…
“Sister, don’t be afraid.”
A childish voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
“Zizi?”
Sylvia instinctively thought of the little girl who was always with her, making different crafts to give to the Giant God.
But the voice disappeared instantly, making her wonder if it was an illusion.
However, something strange happened—Sylvia felt free from the headache, as if the pressure of the Chaos Demon God had been driven away by another will!
She got back control of the dagger in her hand!
“Oh!?”
“Amazingly, you did this!”
“Mortal, you’ve sparked my curiosity!”
“Boom—!”
A huge monster suddenly stood up.
Right in front of her!
Sylvia realized that the whole “city,” made of flesh and tentacles, at least the center part, was the chaos evil god itself!
Its enormous body was so big that Sylvia couldn’t see the top!
But with its long body and narrow skull, it looked like a scary “dragon-like creature.”
Yet, this dragon had tumor-like growths on it, releasing thick Chaos Energy!
“This is…”
“Not just councilor level…”
“At least… much stronger than the lowest rank?”
Although Sylvia mumbled this in fear, the Chaos Demon God heard her.
“Hehe, the lowest rank?”
The Chaos Demon God laughed arrogantly at the small woman for her ignorance.
“Don’t compare me to that ‘rag’ of the lowest rank.”
“I am the Second Seat of the Chaos Council, a subordinate official of the endless altar, Lord Agareth!”
“Gurgle…”
The Chaos Demon God introduced himself and turned his massive eyes to stare at the tiny mortal before him.
Unlike Trilobite, this subordinate official could clearly see Sylvia, small as a speck of dust, and gracefully offered his respect.
“I admire your strong will!”
“So, I’ve decided to end your small but stubborn life myself!”
“Feel honored, woman!”
“For this is a god’s praise!”
“Boom—!”
The Chaos Demon God raised his huge foot, ready to stomp down on Sylvia!
But just then…
“Ha—hiss—!”
A rough, loud roar burst out!
“Boom—Boom—Boom—!”
Sylvia, who had stood firm against the Chaos Demon God moments ago, was shaken so hard she fell onto her bottom.
“Tsk…”
“Ouch… ouch… ouch…”
Sylvia fell not because her will broke, but because she relaxed!
“The living saint finally saw what I was up against…”
“Seriously, why do they always use me as bait…”
She rubbed her full backside and looked up.
There, a giant dragon over a kilometer long twisted its grand body and charged at the Chaos Demon God!
“Sorry…”
As it flew overhead, Sylvia heard an apology in her mind.
The Fourth Living Saint Angna had arrived.
She was a gladiator!
A war dog of the Giant God!
She had a stronger "avatar body" than any other living saint!
Only Angna could face the Chaos Demon God head-on!
True enough…
“Boom—!”
A huge crash echoed as the two massive dragons crashed together.
And at the same time…
“Whoosh——!”
“Buzz——!”
A loud roar from the magical engine echoed in the sky!
Sylvia’s Double Eyes widened in surprise again.
“Oh my…
A battleship!?”
“How can a battleship fly!?”
—-
“Hmm…”
“Let’s add some of this…”
“And a bit of that…”
“Hehe…”
“Interesting, very interesting…”
Trilobite was trying to make a bouquet for Miss Themis using Cork Wood.
Cork Wood was a type of seed fern from the Carboniferous to the Permian period. It had scaly bark, woody parts, and simple roots.
Its leaves were well-developed and could produce seeds.
It was a classic seed fern.
With smaller leaves, it looked a bit like a coconut tree.
Seed ferns were far behind flowering plants, so making a real flower…
Was tough.
But Trilobite didn’t give up.
After all, many pretty plants and pots rely on leaves for looks.
Like “Coleus,” “Spider Plant,” “Kale,” “Variegated Ivy,” and others…
Even trees like maple and ginkgo can rival cherry blossoms in beauty.
If Trilobite couldn’t make real flowers, he could make leaves that looked like flowers, or prettier!
“Giving a girl roses? Pfft, too common!”
“I’ll just give her a whole ginkgo tree—that’s eye-catching!”
But as he tweaked things, Trilobite saw that adding “accessories” to plants seemed cheap.
“With all this extra Chaos Energy, why not have fun?”
So…
“Hey, let’s thickened the leaves a bit.”
“Add some wax…”
“Change the leaf edges, add some spikes…”
“Make the leaves able to open and close…”
“Triggerable spikes? Kind of like ‘mechanical nerve cells’; very steampunk, let’s try it!”
“Lengthen the leaf stalks; it’s cheap anyway.”
…
Trilobite enjoyed himself.
He found that the priciest plant accessories cost only about 2000 points of Chaos Energy, and they were close to animal “digestive protease glands.”
But while playing, Trilobite realized something was wrong.
“Hold on…”
“I meant to make flowers from Cork Wood…”
“Why did I graft a bunch of Venus flytraps!?”
