    2,000 kilometers, 2,800 kilometers… 4,000 kilometers… 10,000 kilometers! His shriveled body ballooned wildly, quickly returning to its peak state, and his soul power recovered at breakneck speed too!


    In mere moments, Oliver was back to his best. But it didn’t stop there! His body kept growing, soon surpassing his original size by many times! And even more astonishingly, waves of law power—chaotic laws—flooded into his body, into every inch of his flesh, transforming him!


    <hr>


    tens of years passed in a flash. Oliver had been in this space where the Chaos Gem was born, ceaselessly absorbing and comprehending the laws of chaos. Boom! Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, finally awakening from endless insight and cultivation. The chaotic energy and laws provided by the Chaos Gem had completely remade his body. Now, Oliver felt terrifyingly powerful!


    He hurriedly opened his panel to check it closely:


    Oliver Stark


    Race: Deity


    Deity Rating: 5


    Attributes:


    <ul>


    <li>Defense: 2,200</li>


    <li>Strength: 2,500</li>


    <li>Chaos Power: 2,500</li>


    <li>Soul Power: 4,000


    Skills: Devour, Concealment, Poison, Elemental Law Manipulation, Chaos Chain


    Possessions: Book of the Chaos Era, Chaos Gem</li>


    </ul>


    I’m this strong now? Oliver couldn’t help but feel excited. He’d jumped straight from a level 2 deity to level 5, and his panel stats had multiplied. Of course, his size was even more staggering—reaching an incredible 20,000 kilometers!


    But it wasn’t just about getting bigger. His body was now brimming with the laws of chaos! These chaotic laws were far superior to the elemental laws he’d grasped before, and back then, he’d only been able to manipulate them slightly. The number of elemental laws in his body had been very limited. But now, the concentration of chaotic laws in him was extraordinarily high!


    The biggest change Oliver felt was the density of his body—it had increased dramatically! This boost in density massively increased his body’s weight and defense. Most deity attacks probably couldn’t even scratch him effectively now. For example, those bloodthirsty fish he’d encountered before—if he stood still and let them attack now, they wouldn’t be able to harm him at all.


    And the dense chaotic laws in his body had awakened a new skill called Chaos Chains! He could summon the chaotic energy in the void, forming massive chains to instantly bind an enemy’s body, stopping them from attacking! These chains held incredible binding power, slowing many enemies’ movements—or even freezing them entirely!


    With this ability, though Oliver was only a level 5 deity, even level 6 deities probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him! Now, Oliver could roam the chaos with confidence. The creator god Aether was level 99, and Oliver was just level 5—seemingly a vast gap—but Aether was the only one of its kind in this boundless chaos. In reality, as a level 5 deity, Oliver had already surpassed the vast majority of chaotic beings!


    Of course, beyond his own combat power exploding, the Chaos Gem itself had other abilities. Oliver closely examined its panel:


    [Item Name: Chaos Gem


    Item Rating: SS


    Granted Skill: Weakening Pulse


    Weakening Pulse: Releases a super pulse wave with a 100,000-kilometer range, weakening enemies’ strength, speed, and defense, plunging them into a debilitated state!

    Item Trait: Contains Chaos Space


    Chaos Space: The Chaos Gem holds a vast internal space where you can store items or freely reshape it.


    Enhancement Level: +0 (Upgrade Potential)]


    “Weakening Pulse, 100,000-kilometer range?” This was an astonishing group debuff skill! Oliver tried activating the Chaos Gem, letting it emit a brilliant glow. In an instant—Boom! A massive shockwave erupted from the gem, surging into the vast spacetime ahead.


    In a flash, everything within 100,000 kilometers was shrouded in a grim, dark atmosphere. A hapless level 3 deity in the void weakened instantly, barely able to move, as if it might collapse and fall into eternal sleep at any moment! “Too strong!” Oliver was thrilled. This skill could weaken enemies, making it invaluable for both offense and escape. With it, Oliver might even stand a chance against level 7 deities!


    And the Chaos Space inside the gem intrigued him too. He probed it with his soul power and, sure enough, found an incredibly vast space within. Its size was almost comparable to the size of Earth. Worthy of a mythic super treasure—just the Chaos Space alone left Oliver in awe. Earth-sized! How much could it hold?


    No wonder the info stream said Zeus, the legendary god, had used this Chaos Gem to seal all the Titan giants. Did he stuff them all into this Chaos Space? But Oliver also noticed the Chaos Space was utterly barren, just like the external Chaos World—empty, desolate, nothing there. Yet this also represented hope, a possibility. Chaos could give birth to a universe!


    Oliver had a gut feeling that if he could create countless continents in his Chaos Space, his gem would gain an unprecedented boost! After all, that would make him the master of an Earth, or perhaps a universe! “To create planets or continents, I’d need the flesh of the primordial giant Ymir…”


    Through the Book of the Chaos Era, Oliver knew that Aether had fought and killed the primordial giant Ymir in the chaos. And later, when Aether created the universe, it used Ymir’s flesh to form countless planets and continents! A deity like Ymir, able to challenge Aether, had flesh far beyond what Oliver could hope for now.


    Putting that thought aside for now, Oliver continued wandering the void, eager to find opponents to test his new skills! If he could run into Alex and his lackeys, that’d be perfect. He wondered how much those jerks had progressed by now. Oliver was confident he’d outpaced them! He hoped they were still alive. If he didn’t get to deal with them himself, Oliver would find it pretty boring.


    At this point, the area around the gem had been chaotic, filled with all sorts of deities gathered here. But now that Oliver had taken the gem, he wandered around and noticed the universe here had quieted down. The chaotic spaces vanished, and the gathered deities had dispersed.


    So, Oliver roamed for a full seven days before finally finding suitable prey! Right now, not far from him, a group of lion-like deities was charging toward him! He hadn’t even shown any intent to hunt them, yet these guys were proactively coming to him!


    This lion pack was massive—over a thousand lion-like deities grouped together, their teeth razor-sharp, claws like swords, radiating fierce aggression. And now, sensing the dense chaotic energy on Oliver, the lion deities swarmed him, marking him as their prey.


    “These lions still have pretty low intelligence, huh.” Oliver sighed, glancing at their stat panels:


    Name: Blood Lion God


    Race: Deity


    Deity Rating: 4


    Attributes:


    <ul>


    <li>Defense: 600</li>


    <li>Strength: 400</li>


    <li>Chaos Power: 300</li>


    <li>Soul Power: 450


    Skills: Unknown


    Possessions: Unknown</li>


    </ul>


    Stats like these, and they want to attack me?! Of course, Oliver looking down on this lion pack didn’t mean other level 5 deities wouldn’t fear them. Because their numbers were just too overwhelming!


    Without hesitation, Oliver lunged at the monsters. “Weakening Pulse!” Oliver activated the gem’s skill directly. Instantly, with his body as the origin, a dark shockwave surged out, completely enveloping the blood lion gods!
