Chapter 599
by fanqienovelChapter 599: This is the True Form of Archosaurs—Grace and Power
“How was this possible!?”
As the Giant God with enormous fangs rumbled closer, the Outer Predator felt more astonishment than fear.
He had assumed the strange deity would relent after he gained the Fantasy Tree of Subspace’s protection.
This wasn’t merely because He invoked Barbatos’ name.
It was also because…
The Fantasy Tree of Subspace wasn’t so easily scaled.
Though termed a "tree," it was a living "domain"—a realm with its own laws, wielding powers of rejection and acceptance.
Any demon god aligned with chaos could be welcomed by the tree, harness its chaotic resources, and traverse its branches freely.
Conversely, deities spurned by the Fantasy Tree could access none of its resources.
Even scaling its "law substance outer skin" would trigger magical backlash.
Though rarely fatal, it inflicted severe discomfort and repulsion—
akin to a "devil fruit" eater plunging into the sea.
Thus, Elioerg’s expulsion from the Chaos Council ranked among the harshest penalties, second only to a "sentence of falling."
It meant forfeiting his territory within the tree and losing all access to its resources and energy.
Such bounty might be trivial to core councilors, but remained vital for mid-level councilors like Elioerg.
Yet the Fantasy Tree’s power had limits.
Certain beings—either magically resistant or vanishingly small—couldn’t penetrate its law substance without violence. But if they lingered on its periphery, the tree couldn’t expel them.
The first category: Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons.
Their chitinous laws proved too dense and rigid, nullifying all magic—even other laws. Thus the tree tolerated their free movement across its boughs.
The second: Tiny mortals.
Their strength was too feeble.
Common wisdom held mortal power irrelevant to the Fantasy Tree.
Beyond these law-defiers existed a third exception:
The Giant God.
Yet this strange deity matched none: not the insectoid dragons, not puny mortals, not even the gem-eyed Giant God.
Still, He defied the laws.
“Boom——Boom——Boom!”
The Fantasy Tree quaked, shuddering beneath the Giant God’s advance.
His mighty limbs gripped the trunk, razor claws piercing the law substance outer skin.
“Buzz——!”
"Buzz——!"
Although the Fantasy Tree of Subspace was continuously releasing repulsive forces against the "non-compliant deity of chaos" according to its programmed commands,
"Splash…"
"Swish…"
These "repulsive spells" seemed absorbed by the bizarre "divine fibers." Condensing into raindrop-like beads upon their smooth surfaces, they slid right off.
But what shocked the Outer Predator more was this colossal being…
Could actually climb the Fantasy Tree of Subspace!
"No…"
"How is this possible!"
"Something this huge couldn’t climb it unless it entered the Fantasy Tree’s interior!"
"Otherwise…"
"It’s utterly impossible to ascend by any other means!"
The interior of the Fantasy Tree of Subspace is a vast space curled by "law substance." Even a massive divine body like the Vast Dragon God could move freely within, using the tree’s structure to travel to its destination.
This is precisely why the worlds linked by each branch and root of the Fantasy Tree are called the "chaos," alongside the "ether and primordial swamp," merging their overlapping regions into the "Chaos Swamp Realm."
The deity confronting the Outer Predator must have entered the Fantasy Tree’s interior.
Yet logically, a divine body massive enough to make the Fantasy Tree rumble violently—even if immune to its repulsion—should be too cumbersome to climb!
But the being before it defied all reason.
Its forelimb claws sank deep into the Fantasy Tree of Subspace; powerful muscles flexed and released.
"Boom——!"
With astonishing flexibility, its waist suddenly swung upward!
"Bang——!"
Its hind legs surged upwards, once more clamping firmly onto the tree’s law substance outer skin.
Then, the coiled waist abruptly extended, thrusting the entire front half higher!
"Boom——!"
The forelimb claws dug anew into the law substance skin!
Through this sequence of movements, the terrifying deity had already advanced a significant distance!
The motions were both agile and elegant; its massive form posed no hindrance to the climb. The supple waist and mighty limbs rendered the entire action effortlessly fluid.
This was something the Outer Predator had never witnessed in any other deity!
"This is bad…"
"Must flee!"
Though this deity’s movements blended elegance, power, and agility without a single hitch—a sight so captivating it could enthrall gods—now was not the time for admiration!
Graceful or not, it remained the enemy.
"Huff…"
"If I were any other little god, I’d be doomed."
"But unfortunately, I’m an ‘Outer Predator’!"
"Having ‘void’ in the name means…"
"Whoosh—!"
It crawled forward two steps, reaching the edge of the Fantasy Tree branch.
The unmovable "false wings" between its forelimbs and hind legs spread open!
Though these "false wings" couldn’t flap, they could still ride void currents to glide. Perhaps for this reason, Outer Predators weren’t considered true void dwellers. They escaped Gimmerly’s authority of the void and thus earned Barbatos’ trust.
Of course, their "flying" was pretty pathetic.
"Though I can’t soar through the void…"
"…escaping you is enough!"
"Go!"
"Whoosh—!"
The Outer Predators spread their "false wings," leaped, and "flew" away!
Yet it never expected…
"Whoosh—!"
That bizarre deity dug its claws into the Fantasy Tree of Subspace, coiling its body.
Then…
A sudden release!
"Boom—!"
Explosive power erupted instantly!
The tremendous kickback shook the Fantasy Tree of Subspace!
That same colossal recoil violently "catapulted" the creature forward!
"Swish—!"
Its massive form carved a graceful arc through the air, closing in on the slowly gliding Outer Predator!
"No—!"
"Ah—!"
The Outer Predator barely screamed before enormous fangs clamped down!
"Pshhh—!"
Bones and divine body shattered instantly under massive bite force.
No struggle. Just extinction.
"Whoosh—Thud—!"
Elioerg landed, sending up a huge splash!
Etheric liquid mixed with Primal Mud stained the air brown.

"Hmm, not bad."
Trilobite nodded, satisfied with his client’s performance.
"Seems all design targets for this body were met."
"This is the true archosaur—perfect fusion of power and grace."
"Compact yet supremely elegant!"
"Next, I should…"
He pulled up the System to browse available projects.
Just then…
"Skree—Aww—!"
"Scree—Aww—!"
Piercing, chaotic howling forced Trilobite to close the interface.
"What now? What?!"
"Can’t you see I’m busy—"
He looked down at his previous clients—the Strange Liaoning Dragons.
They hopped anxiously, screeching as if desperate to communicate.
"Uh…"
"Can’t understand…"
"Just… lead the way!"
