Chapter 377: The Giant God Has a Fatal Weakness!

"You… don’t come any closer!"

The Giant Spirit God lay on the ground, warning the massive deity closing in on him.

However…

"Thud… Thud… Thud…"

The terrifying deity kept striding steadily, stepping on the Sea of Ether and the Primal Mud, approaching slowly and unhurriedly.

"Sniff… Sniff…"

It raised its snout to smell while keeping its distance, slowly circling around.

It seemed very cautious.

And quite sneaky.

"Damn it!"

The Giant Spirit God felt very unwilling.

He was confident that at full strength, with his big head and thick neck—thanks to his Divine Body and the huge magic reserves stored in his round belly—he might not have crushed the fellow before him, but he could have fought and escaped.

"I could have blasted him enough with magic alone."

"But…"

*Cough cough…*

The earlier impact and trampling had hit the Giant Spirit God hard. Not only were his divine muscles and bones badly hurt, needing lots of magic to heal, but worse, his magic circuits were damaged in the collision.

Pathways shifted and snapped, making magic flow poorly.

This left him with strong magic reserves stuck in his belly’s "magic fat," forcing him to use only nearby magic to patch up wounds.

Healing slowed for both inside and outside injuries, let alone casting forbidden spells.

"This is the worst state ever!"

"But this guy…"

"Huh!?"

Then, the Giant Spirit God suddenly noticed the enormous deity circling him had extremely rare gemstone eyes!

"Those eyes…"

"Aren’t they the target’s trademark feature!?"

He recalled Barbatos announcing the target’s key trait when opening the borders—eyes pieced together from many gems!

"So, you’re the Giant God!"

"Now I see…"

The Giant Spirit God realized the "Vast Dragon Gods" had turned on him because this "Giant God" struck while he was busy subduing Magaxia and ignoring everything else.

Not only did it drain his magic, but it trampled him so badly he couldn’t function.

"Don’t you think that’s despicable!?"

"Taking advantage of others’ weaknesses!"

But soon, things became awkward.

Because he remembered that he had once told Magaxia—winning through cunning was not despicable.

Now, it was backfiring on him.

"No!"

"I am the ‘Giant Spirit God’ of the Primal Wilderness!"

"Attacking you was only a secondary goal; my main purpose was to scout for the subsequent offensive of the Primal Wilderness!"

"That is the unstoppable will of the Primal Gods!"

"You oppose the Chaos, right?"

"You don’t need to fight for the Chaos God…"

"You…"

The Giant Spirit God grew more terrified as he spoke.

He found that neither bribes nor threats swayed the Giant God; instead, his words seemed to strengthen its will.

"Thud—!"

The thick legs stepped heavily onto the Giant Spirit God’s body.

"Roar… rumble…"

The deep roar echoed in the Giant Spirit God’s ears, like murmurs from another world, filling his soul with greed and extreme evil.

Only then did the Giant Spirit God realize the truth…

"The Giant God…"

"…is a being more wicked and terrifying than Chaos!"

"The will of the Primal Gods, I fear…"

At that moment, the Giant God’s fangs were close to his throat.

The Giant Spirit God wanted to make one last struggle.

"If you kill me, then…"

"Ah—!"

"Pshhh!"

After a terrified scream, the Giant Spirit God’s gaze dimmed; he kicked his limbs a couple of times and lay still.

"Roar—woo—!"

Then, a sorrowful wail rose from his body, along with a long-dragging "skeletal figure."

He howled in pain and anger, shot up into the sky, circled the Giant God, and let out sharp, terrifying screams.

He even tried to bite the Giant God’s body.

However…

"Useless!"

The Giant God kept tearing at the flesh and blood of the Giant Spirit God.

"Aw—oo—!"

Finally, the sorrowful Soul drew out a long cry, rose back into the sky, was swept by the void wind, merged into the ether mist of the void skies, and drifted deep into the Primal Wilderness.

—-

"Dead!?"

"So direct… so decisive?"

After Trilobite recognized him as the "Panuto Crocodile," Magaxia, the Chaos Demon God of Seat Thirty-Five, didn’t leave after the battle. Instead, he stayed to watch.

The Giant God glanced at him but soon turned away with a look of disdain.

Even though being looked down on felt bad, Magaxia felt relieved.

At least he wasn’t getting killed, right?

But the Giant God’s boldness shocked Magaxia.

"The Primal Gods aren’t like our chaos gods and deities of the Endless Ether."

"Their Souls formed from the Primal Mud through the Sea of Ether’s winds, colliding and reacting, then shaped by thunder."

"After being killed, some energy, memories, and will in their Souls attacked the killer!"

"Worse, they carried back their hatred and memories. If other deities of the Primal Wilderness merged with that Soul and power, they inherited the predecessors’ will and even memories!"

"Then…"

Although smart Primal Wilderness deities might not take the predecessors’ will and hatred seriously, the problem was—the Primal Wilderness had plenty like the Vast Dragon God, who had no sense or brains.

They could be swayed by the dead’s will, possessed, and rush in for revenge.

To kill those smart deities of the Primal Wilderness, they needed complex rituals after to seal and erase their wills.

Watching the Giant Spirit God’s Soul wail "Aw-woo" as it rose, Magaxia felt a chill.

"This brutal slaughter felt like poking a hornet’s nest."

"This is trouble."

Just then…

"Oh?"

"Trouble?"

"I think so too."

A young girl’s voice sounded behind Magaxia.

"Eh?"

"Boss?"

"Boom—!"

A huge splash erupted as a Divine Body far bigger than Magaxia’s surged from the Sea of Ether.

Magaxia’s Divine Body seemed as small as a cat before a leopard!

That was the Chaos Council’s Seat Nine, Baimeng!

She was the demon god guarding the chaos borders, the most active at driving out enemies, and one of the most "normal" demon gods.

She was the Leader for Magaxia’s group.

"Boss… you…"

Magaxia knew Baimeng had the Chaos Mark from Barbatos and couldn’t resist his orders.

Maybe next, she’d rush out to fight the terrifying Giant God?

"Not necessarily."

Baimeng guessed Magaxia’s worry.

"The Chaos Mark is strong, but it only works near Barbatos’s power."

"Now, I’m far away."

"Though it still affects me, I can’t refuse the big order to hunt the Giant God, but how and when to hunt is my call."

"Barbatos can’t control a core councilor from afar."

"Now isn’t a good time to hunt the Giant God."

"My plan is to watch the Giant God closely and find his weaknesses."

Magaxia understood.

Baimeng couldn’t fight the Will of Chaos on big things, but she could tweak small details.

Barbatos had fallen to using a few "Predatory Deities" to pass messages and collect intelligence, unable to demand things like "move the gun forward ten meters."

Watching Baimeng study the "Giant God," Magaxia asked, "So… have you found his weaknesses?"

Baimeng nodded confidently.

"I have!"

"The Giant God has a fatal weakness!"
