Chapter 378: With Such a Poor Appearance, I Don’t Think It’ll Work

"Aw… aw…"

Trilobite used his giant jaws to rip open the belly of the fallen giant beast, tearing off a large piece of meat and swallowing it.

Then, he plunged his giant jaws into the creature’s abdomen, tearing at the succulent organs.

Having lived as a beast for so long, Trilobite had gradually adopted "beast-like" habits—like devouring nutrient-rich organs first when eating his "prey".

Of course, traces of his human days remained. Spotting paleo creatures still excited his hunter’s instinct, and he’d identify their lineage while eating.

"This fellow should be a Dreadnoughtus."

"It lived in Russia during the Permian period, belonging to the Therapsida order, Eutherapsida suborder, and the Anomodontia superfamily."

"Though Wikipedia says this, that’s outdated—recent studies suggest Dreadnoughtus branched off separately from Anteosuchus."

"Look how robust and powerful it is."

Trilobite eyed the six-meter-long giant weighing nearly eight hundred kilograms, awe flashing in his eyes.

Though its limbs were stubby and its belly hugged the ground, the beast was massively built; its neck was so thick it seemed virtually indistinguishable. It reminded Trilobite of bears.

True, Dreadnoughtus had shorter legs than bears, but its sheer bulk dwarfed any bear!

"This thing’s a full size larger than my postosuchus!"

"If those Armored Dragons hadn’t stampeded and trampled it, I’d never have gotten a bite."

Honestly, this Dreadnoughtus’s strength intimidated Trilobite. Its frame outmatched his, and archosaurs had more flexible forelimbs than lizard-like creatures—especially true dragons.

They could swing widely for swatting attacks.

True dragons’ forelimbs, meanwhile, proved useless in combat—they relied entirely on their jaws.

Fortunately, Trilobite had "gear" like saber teeth and air sacs, plus "magical enhancements" like "Flip the World Off" and "Ball Joint Armor".

In a fair fight, he could take it down—like a male tiger hunting a brown bear—though failure was likely.

"Ah…"

"In short, I’m still a predator within normal limits."

"Just with two extra magic skills."

"Other beasts lack magic and often pull stupid stunts."

"But today, chasing that herd exposed my flaws."

"If prey spots me beyond magic range, they’ll flee—and I can’t stop them."

"And against equally strong foes, I can’t overpower them."

"So…"

Trilobite pieced together his strengths and weaknesses.

"My weakness? No teammates mean poor hunting efficiency."

"I can only target predators—high-risk targets."

"My strength? Magic. Other beasts don’t have it!"

"So after that, my reinforced strategy was to…"

"Gather Chaos Energy and build up for a major attack!"

"Expand my advantages and keep strengthening my magic power!"

"Then keep boosting my spawn’s strength, making them work for me… oh no, take on my duty of guarding the conservation areas!"

"If possible, maybe I should recruit some allies?"

As Mr. Trilobite, the postosuchus, pondered, he gradually chewed the corpse of the Dreadnoughtus down to its skeleton.

"Everything needed more Chaos Energy!"

"Perhaps I should wander back to the seaside for a look?"

—-

"Giant God, there was a deadly weakness!"

The white-haired loli, Baimeng…

Of course, she was now a colossal creature lurking in the river!

Bright, wise light glittered in the eyes of this giant beast.

"The Giant God’s greatest weakness was that he was too ‘alone’."

"I admit, his schemes were excellent."

"He drove away those Vast Dragon Gods to strike the Giant Spirit God, and after probing, took it down in an instant!"

"But no matter what, those were just tactical victories."

"And tactical wins couldn’t hide strategic laziness!"

Magaxia tilted his head…

"Strategic laziness?"

"Do you mean…"

He looked toward Baimeng, recalling why she came here—to oppose the Giant God!

"That’s right, the Giant God was still all alone."

"He seemed to scorn dealing with Chaos Demon Gods, wasting too much effort on mortals and going solo."

"But how could that work?"

"Never mind what mortals could do in the coming God’s War; even if they had promise, it took forever to grow."

"Before then, what did he use to fight the God’s War?"

"In contrast, Barbatos’s plan was rough and brutal, just using chaos’s power to crush the Gods, but at least he knew to pile up resources and focus control."

"Also, sadly, I couldn’t fully resist Barbatos’s orders then; I could only fiddle with small details."

"But anyway, Barbatos grabbed the big goal; the Chaos Council would push that way until the Giant God got smashed by chaos’s whole might."

"And meanwhile, what had the Giant God grabbed?"

"Seeing his rude, flesh-eating style, how could any god back such a savage god?"

At that moment, the Giant God was tearing open the belly of the Giant Spirit God, and scraps of intestines and liver scattered across the ground.

The enormous head plunged straight into the divine corpse’s abdominal cavity.

"Rip—!"

The cavity squirmed, the sound of fresh flesh tearing mixed with flying gore, creating a raw sense of wilderness.

"Whoosh—!"

When the Giant God’s massive head pulled back from the cavity, it was drenched in blood—utterly savage and terrifying!

Seeing this, Baimeng, who never believed in the Giant God, gave her final verdict.

"Such an awful face means no chance of success."

Just as Baimeng closed the matter…

"Look again!"

"Whoosh—!"

A void torrent gathered beneath wings, their vast span casting long shadows over Baimeng and Magaxia.

Gimmerly had arrived!

"You?"

Baimeng looked up.

"Barbatos sent you to handle the Giant God?"

"This is trouble."

"Without you, Magaxia and I could excuse staying put. But now you’re here…"

"I already feel the Will of Chaos pushing me to act."

Yet Gimmerly shook her head scornfully at Baimeng’s dismay.

"Heh, the Will of Chaos holds no power over me now."

"Because…"

"Buzz—!"

Baimeng and Magaxia saw bright runes flare on Gimmerly’s forehead.

It was a totem of greedy giant jaws and brutal sharp teeth—wild, crude, yet harmoniously attuned to nature’s laws.

"This is…"

Before Baimeng could respond, she spotted two tiny dots glowing above the giant jaws rune, like eyes. Together, they formed a vicious face.

As the "eyes" flickered, the giant jaws stirred to life.

"Roar—!"

It bellowed with greed and lunged at Baimeng!

"Uh…"

Before Baimeng could react, her Soul began to twist.

"Roar!"

The cries of terror and despair echoed.

It was the mark of the Will of Chaos—the Chaos six-pointed star wailed.

The giant jaws mark chomped down, instantly biting off one corner of the star; then, like Pac-Man, it devoured the entire six-pointed star piece by piece.

When finished, it even…

"Burp—!"

"Huh…"

Baimeng suddenly felt her mind go blank; the oppressive presence of the Will of Chaos vanished completely!

It was like shedding heavy shackles, leaving her refreshed from head to toe!

"This technique… can actually resist the Will of Chaos?"

"You are…"

Baimeng received no answer, seeing only an eerie smile in Gimmerly’s eyes.

Then…

"Buzz—!"

The world plunged into darkness before brightening again.

A breathtaking scene unfolded before her.
