Chapter 515: No Good in Physical Chemistry and Entomology

“Cough, cough…”

“Are… are you all okay?”

“Get up…”

In the midst of chaos, the Third Living Saint Loseta moved her "avatar body," surveying the ruins of the collapsed Giant God’s Tower.

In the Soul Network, voices confirming safety echoed everywhere.

“Giant God’s…”

“Forbidden spells.”

Loseta recalled the scene from earlier, replaying it over and over in the network that connected all the Giant God followers.

Mortals witnessed the "Fire Domain" that rose mysteriously from the primordial and ether; it seemed to have transformed from the “balls of light” released by the “Giant God’s Tower” and the “God Dome.”

That power…

Effortlessly broke through the crystal walls and crushed an entire Bubble World into destruction. In the face of this terrifying "Giant God’s forbidden spell," the deities had no power to resist.

In an instant, they were swallowed by the "Fire Domain" that had "descended to the ground"; those caught at the very center of the "descending Fire Domain" didn’t even have time to cry out before turning into charred mountain peaks and collapsing.

The remnants of the “Fire Domain embers” kept burning, fueled by their Divine Bodies, lighting up nearly the entire Bubble World like towering volcanoes.

Those a little farther away transformed into "active giant volcanoes," racing around crazily, rumbling while howling in pain.

They rolled on the ground, wailing.

But they could never escape the curse of the "Fire Domain."

Mortals watched in awe as these magnificent "living mountains" suffered and weakened under the curse, eventually crashing down, becoming “fixed volcanoes” like their companions.

Almost all the mortals were at a loss for words.

Even the living saints, witnessing this scene, could only make incoherent sounds like ‘Eep!’ as if they had completely lost their ability to speak.

The only one who could still manage to voice her thoughts was the closest "being" to the Giant God, First Living Saint Sulya.

“Great Giant God.”

“The Giant God used this move here to show all deities in the Primal Wilderness His power!”

“This must be part of the Great Plan!”

“Yes!”

“Not just to intimidate!”

“He did this to reveal a fact to all the deities— the Giant God is the blessed one of the ‘Fire Domain’!”

“He represented a realm that has never spoken, never interfered, yet eternally exists—the ‘Fire Domain’ located in the deepest void!”

“Compatriots, take pride!”

“Our efforts had been recognized by the Giant God!”

“Because the Giant God used mortal creations as a catalyst to draw forth the power of the Fire Domain!”

“We were an indispensable part of His Great Plan!”

…

Sulya’s words made Loseta shake her head.

Not in disagreement, but because she didn’t fully understand.

She still had her own tasks to do.

"Thank goodness."

Although Valaharl was in ruins, the entrance to the net path remained intact, with only minor collapses. Even though the ground shook violently and many towering "Giant Pillar" fell, fortunately, there were no casualties.

"Giant God, have mercy."

The white-haired living saint prayed, preparing to report the losses to Sulya.

But just then…

“Boom… boom… boom…”

The ground shook again!

This time, though, it wasn’t magic or enemies.

The Giant God was ending the battle!

Some outer "Mountain Types" still hadn’t been cleared!

—-

“Boom… boom… boom…”

Trilobite moved his legs quickly, running fast.

He felt the "hot wind" and "ashes" blow onto his face and was surprised.

"Ah, this…"

"How could this happen?"

"It actually worked."

"I thought it would fail…"

Trilobite had only used a little Chaos Energy to modify a few "Trilobite Mantis" spawn, and he didn’t have much confidence in "Plan A."

After all, the "Bombardier Beetle" didn’t spray real flames.

To be exact, it was more like a highly stable and active venom.

Sparks hitting someone didn’t hurt as much as boiling water splashing on them, but they could ignite!

Could boiling water ignite?!

Plus, dust explosions usually happen in closed spaces; here, the area was open, and the conditions weren’t ideal.

He figured it would probably be a dud this time.

Of course, he wasn’t scared of a "dud."

As a hunter, he always had a Plan B.

Trilobite spent a lot to grow those "Morchella" bigger, making more noise and spores, to tire out the "Lufengosaurus" with their smell and sound.

Moreover, Trilobite added some "things" to the "spores." Once they inhaled too many "spores," they became dizzy and even hallucinated.

At the very least, it made them extremely irritable.

Then, if Trilobite played a little trick given the Lufengosaurus’s temper, wouldn’t they start fighting each other?

Once they fought, Trilobite could reap the rewards.

Even if they didn’t fight, amid the overwhelming irritating smells, extremely low visibility, and the banging explosions, the Lufengosaurus would surely turn blind and deaf.

By then, Trilobite could effortlessly pick them off one by one.

In fact, this "Plan B" seemed to Trilobite like the truly reliable plan.

However…

"This can actually explode!?"

"Are the physical laws here different, or did I not learn physics and chemistry well…?"

"Or maybe I still don’t fully understand the Bombardier Beetle’s spraying principle?"

"Um…"

After thinking for a moment, Trilobite concluded…

"It must be that I didn’t learn physics and chemistry well; or perhaps I’m unclear about the Bombardier Beetle’s spraying mechanism."

"After all, I’m a layman in those fields."

"Ever since arriving in this strange new world, I haven’t noticed any changes in physics or chemistry laws…"

"Sigh…"

He shook his head, brushing aside the strange thoughts.

Now it was hunting time.

He had to focus!

"Awoooo—!"

"Roar—!"

The Saber-toothed Beautiful Nodosaurus charged into the area where fires still burned sporadically, confirming the results.

"Originally, there were fifteen heads…"

"Three ran away, leaving twelve."

"Now…"

"One, two, three…"

"Five died instantly in the explosion."

"Two I can ignore; they panicked from the pain stimulus and fled far off—let the nearby lurking customers handle them."

"Three are gravely injured and won’t survive. No need to bother."

"So only you two remain for me to deal with, right?"

"Boom—!"

Trilobite halted, eyeing the two creatures frantically circling and rolling on the ground ahead.

They showed no reaction to the predator’s approach: the runners kept running, the rollers kept rolling.

This wasn’t disdain for the Saber-toothed Beautiful Nodosaurus—they simply had no energy left.

Exhausted from their long run, they’d inhaled massive "spores" in Valaharl, then been scorched by the dust explosion’s flames.

Far from half-alive, clinging to a tenth of their vitality was a feat.

"Sniff… sniff…"

Trilobite lifted his snout and inhaled; the meaty aroma made his mouth water.

"Then I won’t hold back!"

"Barbeque feast, here I come! Ha ha!"
