Chapter 366: Rich Lady, Hungry Hungry, Food Food

【The customer’s final payment arrived.】

【Chaos Energy +150,000】

"Nice!"

Trilobite slapped his thigh with his claws, nearly jumping for joy.

"That rich lady from the dinosaur order sure knows how to spend!"

"Just switching to the ‘plain-looking’ Baryonyx earned such a generous final payment!"

"Though honestly, compared to other predators I’ve seen, Baryonyx isn’t plain at all."

Whether postosuchus, Fasolasaurus, fast crocodile, or Permian rulers like Theriodont—none matched Baryonyx in raw power or evolutionary potential.

As the "basic model" of theropod dinosaurs, Baryonyx balanced strength, size, agility, defense, and speed perfectly.

Every attribute reached ideal harmony, making it a truly hexagonal warrior in every way.

Though Jurassic giants like Savaracatus existed among terrestrial crocodilians, they lost all size advantages. Worse, they were beaten badly in speed and agility.

From then on, Loricatosauria’s descendants faltered against carnivorous dinosaurs in higher land niches. They retreated to mid-low Ecological Niches, never regaining Triassic glory before the Cretaceous ended.

Meanwhile, theropod dinosaurs spiraled into uncontrolled growth. Monsters surpassing hexagonal warriors emerged, overshadowing carnivorous dinosaurs under ten meters.

Against such stars, Baryonyx—capped at seven-to-eight meters—naturally dimmed.

"Thanks a bunch!"

"Come again sometime!"

"Hold on… Didn’t another dinosaur consult me earlier?"

"Some Dilophosaurus superfamily member with weird eating habits…"

"Pointy-headed. Sly-looking. Zero intimidation."

Unlike bold Erelasaurus that grew large early to challenge Loricatosauria, early Dilophosaurus stayed small, lurking in lower Ecological Niches.

Though Trilobite knew such "pointy-headed" creatures often won evolution’s game, he disliked their slyness.

"But no matter."

"Sly means high evolutionary potential."

"Dilophosaurus superfamily produced decent predators before."

"They can improve size gradually."

"Baryonyx took the primary wife spot—but this one could be wife number two!"

"Even without growing large, flying’s a solid path too."

Imagining Pterosaurs’ slender forms, powerful legs, and gorgeous feathers…

Trilobite jolted upright with a start.

"Ahem…"

"Enough daydreaming for now."

"Let’s get to some important things."

For Trilobite, nothing counted as important as eating.

Especially after he had just spent five hundred thousand points of Chaos Energy.

But just at that moment…

【Beep beep beep——!】

The System suddenly raised an alarm!

【Warning, your spawn is facing a devastating crisis; please respond promptly.】

"Wow!?"

"What’s going on?"

"How did everything go wrong so suddenly!?"

Trilobite suddenly realized what he had forgotten.

He wished he could slap himself.

—-

"Hmph!"

At the edge of the Chaos Swamp Realm, a colossal creature floated in the swamp.

Her Divine Body no longer looked like a mountain but a mountain range; it was bigger than any demon god’s before!

It also beat almost all Ether Dragons!

Though she was very long, with a huge "divine tail" that made her less sturdy, it still ranked among the top Divine Bodies in the Chaos Council and the whole Chaos Swamp Realm and Endless Ether.

But her voice sounded "crisp," just like a little girl’s.

"I am Baimeng, the deity guarding the borders of the Chaos Swamp Realm!"

"That guy Barbatos… he only got to be First Demon God because others let him, so why is he so cocky!"

"How dare he threaten me?!"

"Who does he think he is?!"

Baimeng shouted at the sky, full of defiance.

But it was useless.

Predatory Deity spread its rib membranes and glided through the void.

"Sorry, great Lady Baimeng."

"I’m just passing on the message from great Barbatos."

"But I must warn you, don’t forget…"

"Buzz…"

Baimeng suddenly felt a burning in her Soul.

The "Chaos six-pointed star" engraved on her Soul flickered, emitting searing heat.

Within her Soul, a faint throbbing pain emerged.

This was the Will of Chaos warning Baimeng.

"Tsk…"

In the end, Baimeng backed down, her raging fury confined to burning within her heart.

After the First Demon God exercised his authority representing the Will of Chaos, she could no longer oppose Barbatos’s will in major matters.

Moreover, her two companions seemed eager to try their luck, aiming to seize divine power from the Giant God to strengthen themselves.

She turned, casting a disdainful look at Guxin and Pal.

"Two fools."

"Sold out yet still counting the cash."

"The Giant God has thwarted Barbatos countless times and even defeated Xidi. He won’t be easily handled."

"But at this point, there’s no other choice."

With this thought, she lifted her gaze to the Predatory Deity drifting in the void.

“Fine!”

“Tell Barbatos I’ll trust him this once.”

“But if the Giant God fails to appear and wastes my time…”

“At the next meeting, I’ll truly make him regret it!”

The Predatory Deity glided confidently through the void.

“Rest easy.”

“Great Barbatos studied the Giant God’s behavior patterns and concluded he’ll inevitably advance toward Endless Ether.”

"You’ll encounter him shortly."

"Scouts report the Giant God is already approaching!"

—-

“Whoosh—!”

Trilobite halted his steps toward the coast.

“Disaster!”

“This is utterly ruined.”

“The ecosystem’s legs feel like they’re about to break!”

Only then did Trilobite recall his oversight—“Seems hairy worms require symbiosis with other creatures!”

“They inhabit other beings’ intestines!”

“Without that internal environment, they’re incredibly fragile!”

“Even if my ‘hairy worm-type’ probiotics are tougher, that’s still no stable habitat!”

Trilobite remembered all his microorganisms spawn were rather “delicate,” needing clustered existence within stable environments.

Places like the vast lake embraced by Themis trees, or conservation areas like Valaharl and Tritium—if small groups ventured outside, other "microorganisms" or "tiny worms" would swiftly devour them.

“Hey! Can anyone lend them a hand!?”

“I’ll…”

“I’ll slash rent for probiotics and hairy worms!”

Trilobite stomped anxiously.

Thoughts of coastal "seafood" vanished completely.

He spun around and marched back.
