Chapter 416: Unit Under Attack! 5/5

"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!"

"Skull offering!"

The deities’ shouts and roars echoed through the Endless Ether.

Shaks—the demon god Trilobite identified as the "round conical ichthyosaur"—plunged headfirst into the swarm of "Gods of Blood and Delirium," creatures Trilobite called "Giant Hardy-scaled Fish."

"Roar—!"

Though its slender snout seemed weak, only suited for eating fish much smaller than itself, making it appear ill-equipped against Giant Hardy-scaled Fish,

Shaks hadn’t charged into the "Gods of Blood and Delirium" just to feed.

He craved carnage!

He longed to relive the ease his powers granted him,

to savor the might of his new Divine Body!

And so, his elongated jaws and stout teeth savagely bit down again and again.

The "Gods of Blood and Delirium" dodged and pursued clumsily, their Divine Body structure hopelessly outpaced by Shaks’s onslaught.

Once-tyrannical deities could only watch helplessly as Shaks sliced through their armored scales, pierced divine flesh, tore away chunks of meat, or gutted them outright—before flicking his fish-shaped Divine Body away effortlessly, like moving through unguarded territory.

Soon, their formation collapsed.

"Damn it…"

"We can’t match this thing!"

"Fall back! Retreat!"

"Cluster together—leave it no opening!"

Trapped and outmatched, their sole hope lay in unity.

The Gods of Blood and Delirium tried massing into a tight formation, denying the vile Chaos Demon God any opening to strike.

But…

"Whoosh—!"

An immense deity clad in scaled armor drifted closer.

Her Divine Body surpassed Shaks’s in strength.

Though she too bore an elongated snout, its width granted tremendous bite force.

This was Baimeng—whom Trilobite knew as "Machimosaurus."

As Seat Nine of the Chaos Council, she remained a traditional demon god.

Were it not for the mark’s control, she’d never have brawled so brutally with her Divine Body.

To Baimeng, magic alone befitted a core councilor’s noble stature!

And the Colossal Divine Body, enhanced by the Giant God, now channeled formidable magic!

"Buzz—!"

The massive magic gathered before the demon god’s mouth.

"Try the power of an old-fashioned demon god!"

"Light of the demon god · Ether Helium Flash!"

"Boom—!"

A torrent of massive magic erupted, rushing toward the gathered Gods of Blood and Delirium!

The Gods of Blood and Delirium gathered their magic to counter the surging massive energy.

If it were a normal time when they could take their ease, they might have had a chance to block the "Ether Helium Flash."

But now…

How could the Gods of Blood and Delirium be at ease?

Most were injured and stunned by the Ether God’s sudden change, and the surprise attack from the Chaos Demon God left them panicked and helpless.

In such a state, how could they find the morale or time to form proper magic?

"Hiss…"

The magical barrier collapsed almost instantly, swallowed and evaporated by the "Ether Helium Flash."

"Ah—!"

Those who screamed lasted a bit longer; many Gods of Blood and Delirium didn’t even have time to cry out before being entirely vaporized by the "Helium Flash" filled with massive energy.

Chunks of divine corpses slowly sank into the depths of the Ether Sea.

Some missed half their bodies, while others had their outer divine flesh and organs melted into a mass of indistinct goo, hanging pitifully over resilient divine bones.

Only a few lucky ones, hiding in the center of the Gods of Blood and Delirium, survived.

They had basely used their companions as shields, trading others’ deaths for their own survival.

"Run!"

"Quick, retreat!"

Morale had collapsed.

But luck won through such vile means couldn’t last.

"Boom—!"

The raging chaotic ether currents surged up from below, toppling the fleeing Gods of Blood and Delirium.

Their Divine Bodies rolled helplessly, like dead leaves caught in stormy waves.

The King of Ether was on a rampage!

"Roar—!"

The massive Divine Body surged upward again!

His huge mouth opened wide!

"Ah—ugh—!"

"Bang—!"

In the Ether Sea, a large pool of sad blood surged.

A half-cut God of Blood and Delirium slowly sank, while the back half of its divine body was held in the mouth of the Giant God, who shook and tore it apart, slowly swallowing the divine flesh as a sacrifice to its creator!

"Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!"

"Skull offering!"

A horrifying slaughter had just begun.

—-

"Whew…"

"Finally, he could focus on his work."

"But before he really got to work…"

Trilobite looked up, gazing into the distance.

The seawater in the far distance boiled violently.

The tail fin of the Leeds fish slapped the sea surface, splashing more blood; the broken bodies of Giant Hardy-scaled Fish floated up and down, some washed ashore by the waves.

"Ah-woo… ah-woo…"

He lowered his head and swallowed the broken bodies and fish flesh of the Giant Hardy-scaled Fish.

Although this fish flesh appeared yellow in the system vision and had a low amount of Chaos Energy, it was free food.

Seeing the Chaos Energy surge by hundreds, he felt good.

"And…"

【Your final payment has been received, totaling 250,013 points of Chaos Energy.】

"Oh, nice, nice," he said.

"His customers were great, but they paid back too quickly; the interest barely added up."

"With this Chaos Energy…"

Trilobite still hadn’t considered upgrading himself.

The priority was still to save the world.

"The construction of the dam was crucial; he had to make the best of a bad situation."

"And there were all kinds of chaotic ocean creatures inexplicably attacking his dam."

"Was it because he had built the dam to block their way to the swamp for food?"

"Um…"

"Anyway, he decided to strengthen the defense first."

He opened the system panel and began to look for his spawn.

"Some fellows couldn’t keep being so weak and just hanging around."

"So…"

"Young lady number two needed to be upgraded!"

"She was supposed to be a shark, often second best, sometimes the best, and she had once been the strongest in history."

"Unfortunately, she had ended up as nothing…"

"It was his fault for not upgrading her in time."

"However, now that the coastal area had strategic importance, it was time to get her some new equipment."

"And… young lady number four, stop slacking off in the Themis Reserve, come over!"

"Come over…"

"Wow!?"

Trilobite cursed.

The icon of young lady number four was flashing red.

He seemed to hear the system’s voice: "Unit under attack!"
