Chapter 316: What Does It Mean When the Cat You Raised Suddenly Bites You?

"Knight Sir!"

"?"

Blue Sapphire suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Jierte's arm and gently biting it, leaving a circle of tiny tooth marks, then quickly ran to the side, looking at Jierte with an expectant face.

"??"

Jierte was thoroughly puzzled by the catgirl's bewildering behavior; she had done this several times recently—could it have some meaning?

Why does my cat keep biting itself?

Jierte looked up the keywords on his communication device, and the conclusion made his eyebrows twitch.

"A house cat gently biting its owner and then running away to watch you is expressing its utmost sincere affection for you."

Jierte stole a glance at her expectant face, which looked like a small cat resembling a penguin, and continued reading.

"They hope to draw your attention this way, wanting you to pretend to be angry and chase after her."

"Is that so?"

Jierte glanced at the catgirl; she still stared at him with bright, sparkling eyes, truly resembling what the communication device said.

In the next moment, Jierte's mouth curled into a smile, his figure erupting like a predatory leopard, and he lifted her up under her bewildered, clear gaze.

Blue Sapphire:!!!

"Ah?"

She couldn't even make out the Knight Sir's figure, and now she's been lifted up?

Although bewildered, Blue Sapphire remained happy; after Jierte set her down, she pounced onto his arm again and gently bit.

Jierte:...

"This mischievous little thing."

Jierte affectionately rubbed her head, then looked at his own arm with some solemnity.

Now... just how strong is he?

Does he truly possess the strength to face the ultimate calamity?

The Boss had once told him about the final forms of each calamity, and his memory of it remains fresh.

The Blood Calamity will spawn a blood tide that devours the entire continent, the Beast Calamity will have a form larger than the continent itself, and the Insect Disaster will no longer feed on food.

There are also demons that become unviewable entities, and ascended sea monsters.

They will ultimately possess the ability to destroy the entire continent, even the whole planet; does he now truly have the power to oppose an entire planet?

The answer is obvious; he is still far from being able to face the final calamity.

Although his strength is now unfathomable, perhaps no one on the continent can oppose him except those so-called deities.

"I wonder how the big cats are doing."

Jierte felt a bit nostalgic for those days in the organization, and he also didn't know how long this situation would last.

"Never mind, it's time to carry out justice."

He also intends to meet that so-called descended deity, not knowing whether the other party is in a state of being burdened with sin.

If that is the case....

Jierte revealed a cruel smile, saying that even if that time truly came and he were a true deity, what then?

He would personally make the other party know what is "righteousness turning into evil," and also let them know what is "a mortal's single shot."

He greatly anticipates that if he truly kills the other party, how much stronger his own strength would become.

"Compared to the calamities... I'm actually quite like a gu worm myself."

But it doesn't matter; shifting from being the eaten side to being the able-to-contend side is not a bad thing—rather, it is an extreme transformation of identity.

It's like an inverted food chain, changing from being a dish that nourishes gu worms to becoming bacteria that can grow and devour at will, even able to swallow other bacteria.

"The descended deity, the waning sunlight, the true fusion of the calamity—have only just begun...."
