Just his giant lineage is enough to make no deity dare underestimate him.
Plus, he’s level 14—towering above nearly everyone in the trading market!
At his side is Tempestriax—a deity of howling, churning winds!
Sure, he’s a wild-born deity with no noble blood, but his insane track record speaks volumes.
These two are, hands-down, the most hyped, revered, and feared beings in the Water Palace Basin, second only to Lord Aegir himself.
And now, they’re here—for that snake!
“What’s going on? Didn’t they say Lord Aegir was recruiting this snake? Why do these two look pissed—like they’re not here to recruit him?”
“Could it be tied to Lord Arachnethos? This snake did cross that guy…”
“Nah, Arachnethos is tough, but Lord Aegir wouldn’t blink at him. Maybe he’d pass on recruiting the snake, but no way he’s out here avenging Arachnethos.”
“Your intel’s old—didn’t you hear? This snake Stark turned down Lord Aegir’s offer. Back in the Chaos Fire Sea, he killed a bunch of Water Palace folks.”
“Now he’s rejected the offer—Lord Aegir’s gotta be furious.”
“The wrath of a giant? He can’t handle that!”
The crowd’s chatter clicks for many, and their glances at Oliver brim with even more pity.
This snake’s in deep, huh?
Pissing off Arachnethos was bad enough—now even Lord Aegir’s after him?
Can this guy even leave the Water Palace Basin alive today?
Even if he does, he’ll likely spend his days like a sewer rat, dodging and fleeing this Basin.
Heck, even the next few Basins might have no place for him.
“So, the Water Palace wants to throw down with me?”
Oliver steps out from the crowd, gazing at the two deities in the sky, cool as a cucumber.
Their stat panels are already up in his view.

Both these guys are level 14—a step below Oliver. Their stats lag behind his, averaging 60,000, even 70,000 points lower per attribute.
How could scrubs like these be his match?
Both together? Still no chance—not even with fancy gear!
‘Cause what—Oliver doesn’t have gear too?
That’s why he’s so damn calm.
Right now, Oliver’s shrunk his body, making him appear level 9 or 10. These two can’t see his true strength, so they’re acting extra frosty.
“You’ve got some serious guts, still showing up at the Water Palace’s trading market. Guess you don’t know what happens when you cross the giant clan!”
Thalassorath sneers coldly.
He’d heard from Caprovorax, the Gold Circle Warrior who tried recruiting Oliver, that this snake rarely deals with outsiders and knows nothing about the chaos world’s basics.
Looks like this guy has no clue how strong giants really are.
Today, he’s gonna school this clueless snake—make him grovel at the giants’ feet!
Storm war god Tempestriax, meanwhile, stays dead silent.
He doesn’t say a word—just lets the winds in his body roar louder, ready to fight.
“Normally, I’d be enough to take this snake out solo. But Lord Aegir’s being too cautious, sending Thalassorath along too.”
Tempestriax can’t help thinking, a bit annoyed at Aegir.
He craves battle—real, worthy fights. A one-on-one might’ve been fun, with this snake putting up a wild struggle, giving him a thrill.
But teaming up with Thalassorath? Tempestriax figures this fight’s gonna be a boring, one-sided slaughter.
This snake won’t even get a chance to fight back.
To him, that’s just dull as hell.
With a massive fight about to erupt, tons of deities start bolting, scrambling to clear the battlefield before they’re caught in the crossfire.
But right then, something no one expects happens again.
A booming laugh—like a planet exploding—rips through the air.
“Hahaha, perfect! I was worried you Water Palace giants might try to stop me from killing this damn snake, from avenging my poor brother. Looks like you’re out to kill him too!”
At that gruff voice, storm war god Tempestriax freezes, the roaring winds in his body pausing for a split second.
He turns stiffly, eyeing the massive figure charging in from the distance.
Talk about timing—the crowd’s hyped-up fate war god, Arachnethos, arrives right now!
This guy’s like his brother—a giant spider.
But compared to his bro, this spider’s way uglier and weirder. He’s got a human-ish head, but teeth jutting out like a porcupine’s, and his massive leg armor’s covered in fine hairs.
Fine, that is, relative to his size.
This guy’s body stretches nearly 5 million kilometers, and those “fine” hairs? Thousands of kilometers thick!
“Hell of a spider!”
Oliver clocks him and feels a jolt.
5 million kilometers?!
That’s bigger than him!
Oliver’s only 4.4 million kilometers right now!
Plus, this spider’s boxy—Oliver’s a long noodle. Volume-wise, this guy’s way bigger. If you stretched him into Oliver’s snake shape, he’d probably hit 9, maybe 12 million kilometers!
That’s, like, triple Oliver’s volume.
Oliver quickly pulls up his panel.
Arachnethos
Race: Deity
Deity Rating: 15
Attributes:
- Defense: 175,400
- Strength: 166,500
- Chaos Power: 184,500
- Soul Power: 189,300
Skills: Unknown
Possessions: Unknown
This guy’s stats are crazy high—lots of ‘em close to Oliver’s. Overall, Oliver’s still got the edge, especially in soul power—his 280,000 blows Arachnethos’s 189,300 out of the water by 100,000!
Total panel stats? Oliver’s clearly ahead.
But Oliver’s got a ton of primal runes boosting him, plus help from gear like the Chaos Gem.
For this guy to have a panel this nuts? No wonder this fate spider’s got such a huge rep among deities.
Oliver gets it right away—this dude’s gonna be a real fight!
