Chapter 361: The Giant God is Always at Least Two Stories High! 3/6

The meeting was over.

The core councilors, some furious and others looking dejected, left Barbatos’s domain.

In the folded space within the Fantasy Tree of Subspace, they still maintained their "human projection."

They appeared small and weak like mortals, but the demons avoided them at all costs.

"What bad luck!"

"Bang!"

Baimeng, though "small," had a fiery temper.

With one punch, she smashed a demon gathering’s nest, sending hundreds of demons flying into the air.

"Redistributing resources was bad enough!"

"But they still want to boss me around?!"

"Go to hell!"

As they watched her storm away, the demons put aside their usual ferocity and trembled with fear.

However, a woman hiding in the shadows narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes.

She wanted to step out and speak to Baimeng, but…

"Hehe, Amon isn’t the old Amon anymore, right?"

"Now I should call you…"

"Amon·Saraph?"

Her voice was playful, mischievous, and incredibly alluring.

"Eh?!"

Before Amon could react, she was pulled into the shadows.

Then…

"Thud—!"

She was slammed against the wall of the demon nest.

"Thud…"

The sound of two hemispheres colliding echoed.

"Is it you?"

"Gimmerly?"

"What do you want to say?"

"And could you not squeeze me like this?"

Amon, or rather Saraph, looked alert and tried to push Gimmerly away.

Yet the charming woman maintained a playful expression, using her larger size to press against her tightly.

"Hmph, just a bit better."

Gimmerly declared her odd ‘victory’ in a triumphant tone.

As Gimmerly kept acting silly…

"Gimmerly."

"Stop messing around."

"It’s time to talk business."

Her colorful white robe swaying, the tall and cool Xidi walked over.

She pulled Saraph aside and stood by her side.

"Buzz…"

The "Fanged Giant Mouth" mark on her forehead flickered.

"This…"

Saraph turned to look at Gimmerly.

She saw the woman had undone the button at her collar.

"Buzz…"

There was also a "Fanged Giant Mouth" mark on her lower chest, glowing faintly.

"Tsk…"

Saraph felt even more she had lost a bit.

"Alright, playing dumb isn’t fun."

"These marks are the Giant God’s doing; but I know you’re the middleman."

"Do you really think sneaking this mark on me went perfectly?"

"I didn’t notice at all?"

"Don’t worry, I mean no harm."

"Since we all have ties to the Giant God, let’s be honest."

At this, both Xidi and Gimmerly looked serious.

"The Giant God is in great danger now."

"We’re bound by the Will of Chaos, and the Thought Mark is planted."

"Our actions will change, which is bad for the Giant God."

"You must tell the Giant God about this."

"As far as I know, you shouldn’t be affected by the ‘Thought Mark’, right?"

Saraph had erased Amon’s consciousness and taken over.

So, the one in the Chaos Council wasn’t the real Amon, but the Deposed Noble Saraph.

Like Sotiko, the Deposed Noble wasn’t a real Chaos Demon God. The Will of the World from the Fantasy Tree of Subspace had no power over Saraph in Amon’s skin.

Perhaps Lady Xidi meant well.

But such good intentions only made Saraph smile in response.

"Hehe…"

"You all underestimated the Giant God, didn’t you?"

"Every action He took served a purpose, often more than one."

"Did you think He hadn’t anticipated Barbatos’s moves?"

"Since the Giant God foresaw Barbatos’s actions, wouldn’t He have laid preparations in advance?"

Lady Xidi tilted her head in confusion.

"Preparations?"

"Barbatos employed an open scheme."

"The Giant God kept achieving victories, but this would inevitably alert the Fantasy Tree of Subspace!"

"Once alerted, the Fantasy Tree would surely grant Barbatos authority, concentrating all power against the Giant God."

"Before, the Giant God could exploit conflicts among the chaos deities to defeat them individually."

"But the Chaos Mark is composed of concentrated Chaos Energy; it manipulates our minds."

"Now that chaos stands united, He can no longer sow discord…"

Before she finished speaking, Lady Xidi sensed something wrong.

"Buzz—!"

The "sharp teeth giant jaws" mark engraved upon her suddenly burned.

"Hiss…"

Gimmerly clutched her chest too, waves of searing pain washing over her.

Though Barbatos and Morax weren’t present, they experienced the same.

"What is this…?"

Lady Xidi covered her forehead in astonishment, her beautiful Double Eyes reflecting Saraph’s triumphant smile.

"See?"

"I told you the Giant God surely had a countermeasure."

"Remember this—in all matters, the Giant God remains at least two steps ahead!"

…

"Roar—!"

A bellow erupted from deep within the souls of the Chaos Demon Gods.

The sharp teeth giant jaws mark flickered violently; its once-empty eye sockets now blazed with greedy light.

"Roar—!"

They howled, transforming into frenzied Beasts driven by the Giant God’s Greed, and lunged at the six-pointed star symbolizing the Will of Chaos!

Trilobite felt quite happy.

He had defeated a powerful enemy, eaten his fill, returned to his cave, and slept soundly without worries.

Upon waking, he immediately noticed new activity in the "Evolution Consultation Room."

[You have a new consultation request. Will you accept?]

"Excellent!"

"If this continues, I’ll be able to evolve again!"

"The DLC promised to my spawn is taken care of too!"

"Bliss!"

But before Trilobite could enjoy his happiness for long, greater joy arrived.

[+3000]

The system had inexplicably "gifted" him four batches of Chaos Energy.

Though three thousand per batch wasn’t enormous, it at least matched the rent for the "probiotics."

"This probably isn’t my spawn’s doing…"

His spawn, particularly the microorganisms spawn, did steadily generate Chaos Energy for him, but at a sluggish pace.

Typically just a few hundred points per day.

Miss Themis Tree occasionally contributed tens or hundreds of Chaos Energy, but rarely exceeded 1000.

Receiving four consecutive "3000" batches was truly an unexpected windfall from unknown origins.

"A system loyalty reward?"

"I’ll take it as that."

"It wasn’t a lot, but it wasn’t too little either."

"Good enough."

"Now the real priority is getting to work."

He accessed the "Evolution Consultation Room" interface.

"Well now."

"An old acquaintance this time."

—-

"Burp——!"

The "Fanged Giant Mouth" emblem on Xidi’s forehead and Gimmerly’s chest released a soft, satisfied burp.

Meanwhile, the mark of the Will of Chaos, the six-pointed star, had completely vanished.

"The Will of Chaos’s confinement… it’s gone?!"

Xidi and Gimmerly simultaneously turned toward Saraph.

Her head remained held high.

In contrast, Xidi’s lips parted slightly, her double eyes wide with shock.

The devouring of the Will of Chaos sent seismic waves of astonishment through Xidi.

It took her considerable time to compose herself.

"So that’s how it is."

"The Giant God’s plan… was laid this early?!"

"No… did He foresee this scenario from the very beginning!?"

Xidi recalled the Giant God’s cold, seemingly vacant double eyes—hollow yet profound as the abyss!

Everything in the universe seemed laid bare before those eyes that appeared to see nothing.

"This…"

At that very moment.

"Urk…"

Xidi was hit by a sudden dizzy spell!

She felt herself being pulled into some peculiar space.
