Chapter 175: Bow Before My Feet! Pitiful Woman!

“Zii—!”

The God’s slime molds multiplied and expanded, even developing stress and population pressure.

When the “population size” in an area reached a certain level, the God’s slime molds felt uncomfortable and followed the “stress response” to spread to broader areas.

That’s how the slime molds crawled from the tunnels beneath the Bubble World of Valaharl into the Sea of Ether.

They spread continuously in the Sea of Ether.

Some unlucky ones met Star-Eater Plutonium Dragons and were bitten.

But not all the God’s slime molds were so unlucky.

For example, these creatures here…

“Zii—!”

The “stress response” led them to the roots of a decaying tree.

“Zii—!”

Countless Unicore Beings became excited as they touched the decaying tree.

“Hiss—!”

They quickly burrowed into the loose, porous roots, greedily absorbed the energy of the Fantasy Tree of Subspace, and rapidly multiplied and expanded.

The golden, shining colloids spread like a flood, devoured everything they could touch in the root systems of the Fantasy Tree!

“Damn it! What is this?”

“Who cares what it is!?”

“Kill—!”

A despair demon lingering at the base of the Fantasy Tree swung its axe fiercely, struck at the rushing torrent approaching it.

“Pshhh—!”

The torrent was chopped open, and one Unicore Being was severed.

But it was quickly devoured and “recovered” by other companions.

Then…

“Zii—!”

The golden torrent surged upward, wrapped around the despair demon’s feet and arms.

“Ah!”

“You vile creatures!”

“Kill…”

“Ah—!”

Despite the despair demon’s desperate resistance, within seconds, it was overwhelmed by the torrent; its body flowed with the golden torrent, continuously decomposed and shrank.

In the end, the once-powerful despair demon could not even let out a wail, and was swallowed alive and whole!

It was just one of the thousands of unfortunate demons!

The Fantasy Tree of Subspace, once the home of the demons, was being destroyed by an unspeakable greed.

Throughout the entire space, the demons’ screams and wails echoed, just like the mortal kingdoms they had once destroyed!

But this was only the start of a series of disasters.

These primitive beings had no idea what sustainable development meant.

They only knew to keep consuming and splitting, and soon, the roots of Subspace began to rot.

“Creak—!”

An ominous sound rang out.

The Fantasy Tree of Subspace had already grown weak from making Crystal Wall Nails; its roots were loose, and its trunk was about to collapse!

The invasion by the golden colloidal creatures was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

So…

“Creak—”

“Boom—!”

The Fantasy Tree of Subspace made a loud cracking and rumbling noise as it started to lean heavily.

Finally, everything reached a breaking point!

“Whoosh—!”

“Bang—!”

The huge Fantasy Tree crashed down, its crown smashing against the Crystal Walls of Valaharl, causing violent tremors across the entire Bubble World.

Still, Valaharl, now recovering, held firm against the impact.

The trunk of the Fantasy Tree toppled over the Crystal Walls.

From afar, it looked like the “dense fog” stopped the falling Fantasy Tree, letting it slide along the edge of the “fog.”

“Rumble—whoosh—!”

At last, the enormous Fantasy Tree plunged into the Sea of Ether.

A massive splash shot into the sky, and the dying wails of the Fantasy Tree echoed endlessly in the mind of the Chaos Demon God.

“Sister!”

“Damn it!”

Gimmerly glided through the air.

This time, she wasn’t calm like before; she was terribly anxious.

She could “glide” through the void, but her sister, Lady Xidi, couldn’t.

If Lady Xidi got hit by the Fantasy Tree and fell into the Sea of Ether…

Anyway, Gimmerly couldn’t picture a vacant seat in the core council; she couldn’t imagine how she would stand in the Chaos Council without her sister’s backing.

That fellow Elioerg would probably be the first to tear her to pieces!

"Ahem…"

"I’m fine."

"And I haven’t lost anything."

Lady Xidi’s icy voice came through again.

But this time, Gimmerly froze. She could hear unprecedented fury and frustration in Lady Xidi’s tone!

This situation was unlike anything before.

And her current state was equally unprecedented…

She was a mess!

Besides, she hadn’t finished speaking.

"Except…"

"My dignity!"

Beautiful, multicolored feathers clung wetly to her form as ether droplets streamed down. Her former elegance was gone, replaced by none of the glory befitting a core councilor.

The refined Lady Xidi had been utterly crushed on the outskirts of Valaharl, the Bubble World.

Her schemes were exposed and countered, her creations destroyed. Worse still, her foe had crafted more terrifying and efficient creations. To add insult, that bastard even ordered its creations to obliterate a Fantasy Tree of Subspace!

The dignity of the Creator’s Hand, Lady Xidi, had been trampled, shredded, and cast into the murky gutter by this total defeat.

That cunning, loathsome, yet formidably intelligent Giant God seemed determined to mock her stupidity and fragile pride through this humiliation.

It all converged into a single, deafening message: "Grovel at my feet, pathetic woman!"

…

Regardless, this crushing defeat was Lady Xidi’s first experience.

The blow was devastating.

Gimmerly even noticed the ethereal sorrow in Lady Xidi’s eyes had faded into hollow emptiness.

It was the bewildered helplessness of one wounded by forces beyond comprehension.

The sight tugged at Gimmerly’s heart.

"Hmph! That Giant God is too arrogant!"

"But such arrogance is pure foolishness!"

Gimmerly flew to her sister’s side, gently nuzzling Lady Xidi’s damp neck as she smoothed her feathers.

She offered comfort.

"Surely even the sluggish Chaos Council must have reacted by now?"

"It’s time to muster all our forces against the Giant God, right!?"

Her comfort received no reassurance.

"Not necessarily."

Lady Xidi sighed softly.

Just then…

"Thud—thud—thud—!"

Heavy footsteps shook the air.

Then…

"Roar—!"

Elioerg’s agonized scream erupted across the Sea of Ether!
