Oliver opens his mouth, and a dark poison mist laced with the death rune drifts out, engulfing the fleeing, despairing, and clueless Níemogrs.
It’s a one-sided massacre.
Without that hulking queen to hold him back, the other Níemogrs don’t stand a chance against Oliver.
Soon, he’s wiped out every Níemogr in the nest—clean as a whistle.
The chaos energy they leave behind is staggering.
Including the level 12 queen, all that energy pools together into an ocean-like mass.
Oliver opens his jaws and starts chowing down.
“Not bad flavor.”
He chews away, the massive energy flowing through every inch of his serpentine body.
In that moment, the energy rushes like a roaring river, weaving through his flesh.
Every cell in his body greedily sucks up the chaos energy, evolving at breakneck speed!
Rumble, rumble, rumble~~
In an instant, after swallowing it all, Oliver’s giant snake form balloons up—from 800,000 kilometers to a whopping 1.6 million!
And with his size, his raw power shoots up too!

Every stat on his panel jumps by about 30,000 points!
Oliver leaps from level 11 straight to level 13—two whole tiers!
He also notices his poison skill’s leveled up again, hitting enhancement level 5.
That’s a bit of a letdown—so many Níemogrs, all packing poison skills, including a level 12 queen, and it only bumped from +3 to +5?
It’s less than he’d hoped.
But he gets it soon enough—the higher the level, the harder these boosts get. On the flip side, the payoff from each upgrade gets bigger too.
“We won, we won—we won!”
“Haha, those jerks are toast—awesome!”
“Boss, where’d you find this master? How’s he this good?”
While Oliver’s nearly done scarfing down the Níemogrs’ leftover chaos energy, the plant deities snap out of their daze, bursting into thrilled shouts.
Right now, they’re all staring at the World Tree Ygg and its master Oliver with total awe.
“Hahaha, don’t you know who I am? I’m the first plant in the chaos, destined to hold up the whole damn universe! My master—think he’s some nobody?”

The World Tree lets out a smug laugh, its branches swaying proudly.
“Totally! No wonder it’s Ygg—with this snake master shielding us, no more running from Níemogrs. We’re gonna thrive and level up fast!”
“I’m so jealous!”
“Boss, you’re the best!”
The plant deities chime in, brimming with envy and admiration.
The star tree, especially—earlier, it wanted to claim the top plant spot. Now? It’s completely sold.
With Oliver as Ygg’s terrifying backup, there’s no way it could ever compete.
Plus, Ygg’s been soaking up the Níemogrs’ leftover chaos energy alongside Oliver—its power’s spiked too!
Truth is, Oliver let Ygg and the soul army feast on the energy as well.
But all of them combined couldn’t match even 1% of Oliver’s absorption speed.
Even so, Ygg leveled up—from 10 to 11! The soul army jumped from levels 7 and 8 to 9 and 10!
In short, Oliver’s whole crew just got a tier stronger!
“Let’s see what’s inside this Níemogr super-nest!”
Oliver’s massive body lumbers forward, sliding into the nest’s wreckage. With Níemogrs’ huge numbers and rampant looting, there’s gotta be treasure galore in here.
Of course, he’s already snagged his first prize from this fight.
[Item Name: Bloodreaver, the Chaos Cleaver]
Item Rating: S
Granted Skill: Blood Sacrifice
Blood Sacrifice: Sacrifice your blood and flesh to greatly increase the weapon’s damage, attack range, and attack speed.
Enhancement Level: +0 (Upgrade Potential)
Attack Power (All Attack Types): +30,000
The description of this item seems pretty straightforward, but it’s an S-tier offensive item, after all! Compared to other support-type items, it stands out by including an additional stat: Attack Power. Equipping this sword grants a massive 30,000 points of attack power.
For comparison, some of the B-tier offensive items Oliver has picked up only boost attack power by a few thousand points—typically around 2,000 or 3,000.
That said, its skill comes with a steep cost. Before you even take on an enemy, you’re required to sacrifice your own blood and flesh. Luckily, Oliver’s huge frame means he’s got plenty of blood and flesh to spare for the sacrifice.
Just how powerful could this sword become after that offering? It’s anyone’s guess.
In a way, it’s pretty damn fitting for him.
Sure, the sword’s got flaws, but it’s S-tier. The insane power that Níemogr queen unleashed with it? Oliver still can’t shake the memory.
With this light-blade, his combat strength’s jumping a whole notch.
Right now, under his giant snake eyes, the broken nest’s treasures have nowhere to hide.
He quickly spots a ton of stuff.
First up: a bunch of B- and C-tier items—small fry gear from low-level Níemogrs or their kills.
They’re low-grade, but with nearly 10,000 of them, the sheer volume adds up to decent value.
Among them, three hit A-tier.
A-tier stuff’s beneath Oliver’s notice, but to other chaos deities, they’re rare as hell—worth risking lives over.
These could come in handy later for trading at deity hotspots.
Beyond that, Oliver finds a haul of ore in the nest!
Mandela Metal!
The chaos world doesn’t have currency, but rare metals like this—versatile and widely used—sort of fill that role.
Mandela Metal’s one of them.
Typically, an S-tier item’s worth about 500,000 pounds of Mandela Metal.
And now, Oliver’s dug up 600,000 pounds of it from this Níemogr nest!
This haul makes his lips curl into a grin.
No surprise there—a multi-million-kilometer super-nest like this was bound to pay off big!
This time, Oliver’s loot from the nest is worth at least two S-tier items—plus his own power’s soared. Total steal!
Finally, he turns to the last perk of this fight: the plant deities.
“You lot—wanna come with me? Follow Ygg as its underlings. Of course, that means taking my orders too—I’ll be the top boss!”
Yo legends!
If this book’s been even a little fun to read, mind tossing a 5-star my way?
We got hit with a bunch of sus 0.5s all at once yesterday (yeah… ouch) and it tanked the rating below 4.
Come on, even if it’s not perfect, 0.5? That’s brutal. ??
