Chapter 449
by fanqienovelChapter 449: Revelation: The End Times Are Approaching
The battle ended within five minutes.
After decapitating the injured leader, Trilobite seized the moment while the Arizona dinosaur was still in shock and bit through the neck of another unlucky one.
After all, that one was closest to him.
With two companions brutally killed before them, the Arizona dinosaurs completely lost their will to fight; they scattered and fled.
However, it was now a two-against-three chase.
Counterattacking was out of the question; even escaping became a luxury.
Although Baryonyx was huge, weighing two to three times as much as the Arizona dinosaurs, she walked on two legs and was much faster than the four-legged Arizona dinosaurs.
In just a few steps, she caught up to her prey; the panicked Arizona dinosaurs had no chance to fight back.
After watching Trilobite, the Baryonyx lady seemed to finally learn how to hunt.
She either kicked her prey over and stomped on it, bit down on their neck and twisted, or crushed their heads outright.
In short, once the Baryonyx lady got serious, she became an efficient killing machine, completely overshadowing Trilobite, the lesser dinosaur.
She killed the remaining three Arizona dinosaurs and finished off the two injured ones still lying nearby.
Trilobite didn’t see it as cruel at all.
As the old saying goes, animals hunt the old, weak, sick, and hurt.
Choosing only strong and healthy prey and talking about "fighting honor" or "duels" didn’t mean the predator was brave; it just showed that fool was an idiot who would bring doom on themselves.
Such foolish genes weren’t worth passing on.
…
"Ah—oooh—!"
"Tasty, tasty."
Trilobite stood over the headless Arizona dinosaur, gulping down his food.
He seemed to enjoy it a lot.
But in the wild, this was very unlikely.
Predators usually wouldn’t let others eat near them and rarely shared food; even social predators ate in order, not all at once like in a noisy mess hall.
For different species, sharing food was even less possible.
Hunting with Trilobite was Baryonyx.
Baryonyx weighed two to three times more than Trilobite; though Trilobite had a big head and thick neck, he was no match for Baryonyx.
Logically, it would have been surprising if she didn’t try to eat Trilobite too after the hunt.
Yet, he ate his meal in peace.
"Hmm, my customer is so polite."
After the killing feast, the Baryonyx lady only took one Arizona dinosaur away to eat somewhere; the remaining six were all for Trilobite!
"Thanks!"
“I was gathering Chaos Energy now.”
“Had an urgent need.”
“Burp—!”
Trilobite let out a loud burp.
The system displayed his status: "Full."
These six Arizona dinosaurs provided him with an astonishing 1.5 million Chaos Energy!
Combined with earlier hunts, the scattered drizzle from microorganisms spawn, and probiotics rental income, Trilobite’s total Chaos Energy reached an incredible 4.5 million!
“Phew…”
“Most came from my own kills.”
“Those slain by Baryonyx gave barely half my personal hunts.”
“But enough’s enough.”
“Time to launch the plan…”
“First things first.”
Trilobite opened the “Evolution STEAM Store.”
“Sharpen your tools before the task,” he muttered.
“Saved up so much Chaos Energy—finally unleashing my ‘big move’!”
“Begin!”
He excitedly accessed the store.
Dozens of grayed-out packages now glowed brightly!
—-
“Blood sacrifice for the Giant God!”
“Skull offering… dining platform!”
“Ah-woo… ah-woo…”
Unlike stiff Barbatos, Goddess Xidi embraced flexibility.
She bent and stretched effortlessly.
For those she admired, she’d flip her stance instantly and cling without hesitation.
Adaptation came naturally—when in Rome…
Like now…
“Hah… hah…”
Blood and entrails coated her sharp teeth and snout’s front. The warm, metallic taste flooded her stomach, heating her soul while calming the "huge mouth sharp teeth" mark.
That sensation of warm fullness in her belly…
Pure bliss!
However, the experience that truly captivated her was this massacre!
“So that was how it was.”
“That was how the Divine Body was used.”
“After the magic ran out, she charged into the enemy ranks using her presence, size, and any weapon she could find, making her enemies panic and scream in terror…”
“Then she dealt deadly blows one after another!”
“This was what the Giant God wanted to teach her…”
“This so-called path of slaughter!”
Lady Xidi closed her eyes.
She felt the brutality she had released from the Giant Spirit God earlier, savoring the joy from the bloodshed.
“Giant God, I understood.”
Lady Xidi slowly opened her eyes, gazing at the “etheric storm” pouring down from above.
This heavy rain not only obscured her vision but also interfered with her magic circuits.
“You were giving us a revelation.”
“It told us that in this age of rampant ‘ether rain’ and the void filled with ‘ether mist,’ the power of magic would be greatly weakened.”
“The effects of the Divine Body would be greatly enhanced!”
Both the “ether mist” and the “etheric storm” would greatly disrupt the operation of magic; just then, Lady Xidi could clearly feel the disturbance while battling the Giant Spirit God.
As for those deities living in the Ether Sea, their situation would not be much better than the others.
The etheric storm would wash a large amount of “Primal Mud” into the vast Ether Sea and carry a lot of Void Energy into it, greatly interfering with the release of “Ether System” magic.
Using magic would no longer be so easy.
Perhaps those flashy spells would become ineffective, useless tricks, or even trash spells; while those “brutal” and “direct” magics that were once looked down upon would become the mainstream of the new era!
Of course, in the future, the mainstream might look just like today, with two colossal deities howling and fighting like beasts.
“Were you telling us deities about the combat and survival laws in this age of fading magic!?”
“Great!”
“Your teachings, we would remember deeply.”
Just as Lady Xidi swallowed the last piece of flesh, scraping the meat strands off the divine bones with her sharp teeth…
“Buzz—!”
In the place where the Giant God dwelled, a golden light suddenly blazed!
