"Titan Giants? Arrogant. They look down on all other species. No, not only do they look down on other species, they believe that letting other species breathe under their noses instead of just stepping on them is a form of tolerance and grace. "
This was the evaluation of the Titan Giants by a certain powerful individual who had also experienced the Primordial Era. From a certain standpoint, being able to use arrogance to describe a species was already saying a lot.
This could actually be seen from the giants of the Titan Tribe. The Superior Giants, such as the Cloud Giants and Lava Giants, even looked down on the Dragon Tribe and called them lizards. They were even more overboard towards the Silver Tribe and the Bronze Tribe. They directly called the other races mortals, tiny things, or little meat people, viewing them as backup food.
But looking at it from another angle, they indeed had the right to be arrogant. They were naturally powerful. Even an ordinary Mountain Giant could easily defeat a human warrior who had cultivated for an entire lifetime. Even the Frost Giants, who weren't considered the strongest among the Giant species, enjoyed hunting White Dragons. They were the top human heroes who had done heroic deeds that could be recorded in the history books.
But that wasn't all. A species' strength couldn't be solely due to a God-given ability. The Titan Giants had once created a glorious civilization on this continent. Even now, we could still see a thing or two from the Cloud Giants, who were good at singing and dancing and loved art. The Eternal Desert still had historical ruins from back in the day.
The Titan Giants denied the authority of any other God apart from the Creator Gods. It was said that the Titan Giants had been transformed by Aichy using crystals from the earth. That was why they believed that they were the children of the earth, that the world had given birth to them, and that the other Gods were only their peers or even descendants.
Unlike the other species' religious culture, which was often associated with the Gods, the Titan Giants' statues mostly depicted their own deeds. Those strangely shaped drawings also recorded their understanding of the world.
Ömdiroken's Underground City was the classic Titan Giants' style. It was a giant's palace. While the Titan Giants pursued simple colors that contrasted black and white, they also pursued low-key luxury with beautiful materials and beautiful designs. The Titan Giants' historical ruins and buildings were filled with statues and reliefs that displayed power and beauty, as well as strange drawings and three-dimensional structures that had unknown effects.
Even in this era, this rather strange style still had a deep influence.
For the "nouveau riche" who lacked history, being ancient also represented nobility. The Titans' style had once again become popular in human society more than 1,700 years ago. Spacious and majestic palaces filled the entire continent. Steps carved from white jade were filled with all sorts of mythological carvings … Actually, I had always been rather puzzled. If you had carvings on the walls, people would occasionally look at them, but if you had carvings on the ground, you'd probably lose all sense of nobility. If no one looked at them, then wouldn't the carvings have been for nothing? Or, were these carvings going to be used for archaeology by future generations?
Cough, let's save the comment about the golden toilet bowl. No matter which world it was, there were plenty of people who did this. As long as they liked it, it was enough. They were rich and willful!
Getting back to the main topic, there was no such thing as an undying dynasty. The past glory would make the present's end seem even more pitiful. The former giant civilization had already become a thing of the past. Most of the current giant species only inherited the culture and techniques of killing. However, one would never underestimate them. After all, they were still the descendants of the Titans, the descendants of the earth.
Before they were cursed with dullness, the Fire Giants, Lava Giants, and other fire element giants were the world's best blacksmiths. The Sand Giants' ancient buildings in the desert were still considered the world's wonders, and the Frost Giants were the best hunters. The Polar Wolves that they tamed back in the day were still viewed by the people of the Polar Pole as an unstoppable "White Calamity."
Most species had lost most of their inheritance, and even most of their species had lost their intelligence. Yet, they were still able to survive. This was enough to show just how strong they had been in the past.
Just how strong were the original Titans? Nobody could say for sure. However, it was publicly acknowledged that an adult Titan would definitely be no weaker than an Immemorial Dragon (Little Red). This was the most basic rule. But actually, I learned from Aillé that the Titans had killed off more than a dozen True Gods. Those ancient Gods were all powerful Gods in the current era. In that case, the Titans' leader would probably be a Main God level existence like Aillé.
Still, I actually felt reassured that the Titans were so strong. Even if the sky collapsed, there would always be someone tall enough to hold it up. If a Titan truly appeared, there would definitely be a powerful God there to hold it up. There would be no way a small fry like me would be cannon fodder. By the way, if a super rare Titan Beast that I hadn't seen in tens of thousands of years really appeared in front of me, then my luck …
"If I really meet a Titan, I'll stream myself swallowing a keyboard … I mean, swallowing a sword!"
But I never expected that I would actually meet one. Also, I really was a jinxer!
"Go ahead, go ahead and swallow."
Harloys always had a good memory for strange things, just like how I was always accurate at strange things.
"You seem to be my sword. Are you sure you want to see me swallow my sword? Or are you going to lick it first? Wow, this is quite the new way to play, but it's so perverted. "
Hmph, right after I said that, the silly cat indeed quieted down. However, now wasn't the time to be playing with cats.
I was also seriously trying to think of a solution as I looked at the sky-covering blue giant before me. The gigantic thunder giant was already walking towards the city walls. Every step he took caused the ground to shake and the city to shake. I could even sense his fear and despair.
"That day, humans recalled the terror of being controlled by those fellows … and the humiliation of being imprisoned in birdcages!"
"Stop joking around. Hurry up and think of a solution!"
Think of a solution? Wasn't I doing my best to think of a solution? It would be easier to think of a solution if I could liven up the atmosphere.
That physical thunder reminded me that my opponent wasn't easy to deal with. Even if I didn't measure him, just looking at the thunder that was far stronger than Adam's, I knew that no ordinary SemiGod would be able to deal with him.
And, what was even more difficult to deal with than a Titan was …
"Could it be that there are two Titan Giants? Since the Titan Giants are so arrogant that they don't even care about being on the same level as other lifeforms … In that case, those two humanoid fellows who were treated like kings are both Titan Giants? "
I had long since noticed the two Titan Giants who suddenly became Davey's guests. If my guess was correct, the Titan Giant who suddenly appeared was naturally Davey.
"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't right. Don't you always send out cannon fodder first, then a mini-boss, then a mid-level boss, and finally a demon king? You're sending out the final boss right from the start? How can we have fun playing together?"
"Ha, you're the only one who has the ability to comment."
I directly ignored what Davey said. From a certain standpoint, if I had enough power, why would I just sit around and watch the situation?
"Let's test it out first … It can't possibly be the Titan Giants. It's impossible for them to completely appear in the mortal plane. And, the Dragons didn't have any information saying that they've already left the seal. How about we just wait for the Town Security to descend? "
"Then Oak Town will definitely be gone."
Town Security? This referred to the Gods. From a certain standpoint, the Gods were also the guardians of this world's natural laws. If any extraordinary existences that didn't belong to this world invaded and caused destruction, it was the Gods' most basic duty to expel them.
However, there were also major restrictions and rules. Just like last time when a Demon Count invaded the mortal plane, although the Gods also had to send down their incarnations to deal with it, if I had waited for Rose, who was supposed to be in charge, to react, Sulfur Mountain City would definitely have been destroyed.
The current situation was similar. This Titan Giant didn't directly interfere with any God's interests. Once the Gods confirmed that the Titan Giant was the unlucky one and sent an incarnation to stop it … it was likely that the God would delay for a while and hope that this troublesome Titan Giant would disappear on its own. That way, they wouldn't embarrass themselves if they couldn't defeat the Titan Giant, or waste their divine power for nothing. This was also why the Devil Lords often caused trouble in the mortal plane but always managed to successfully escape.
"The Gods can wait, but we can't."
Hearing this, I could only smile wryly. Yes, it didn't matter to me, so I didn't care. But right now, we were the only ones who couldn't wait.
Although I didn't want to be the Contract Heroes' babysitter, no matter how I looked at it, this situation would only result in the complete annihilation of the Contract Heroes. If I just watched as the first batch of Contract Heroes died in large numbers due to a certain reason, the subsequent plans would definitely be greatly affected. A successful example would be just as effective as a failed example. Those who followed the trend would only look at the results, and wouldn't consider any coincidences or unavoidable forces.
"At the very least, let's test the Titan Giant first. If it's a complete Titan Giant, I think it's better to organize an escape team right now."
Even if it was only a test, directly attacking the Titan Giant would be foolish. I suddenly came up with an idea. If the Titan Giant was slightly more foolish, perhaps there would be an unexpected harvest.
"Ah Da, it's time to use you."
"… Yes, my master."
Several seconds later, my will was transmitted to my novice servant.
* Boom! *
An orange-red meteor streaked through the sky as an explosive fireball smashed into the back of the Titan Giant's head. When the gigantic Titan Giant turned around with a shocked expression, he discovered that the mage was right in the middle of the Undead Faction's military camp. Beside him, a group of undead was currently charging at him.
Spears imbued with black corrosive magic were already thrown into the air. The heroic Death Knight activated the aura of desecration and curses, and the Skeleton Knight displayed his outstanding archery skills. This was the standard Undead Knight formation for an ambush.
"For the glory of Lord Davey! For the glory of Emperor Davey, die, desecrator! "
Under the control of a soul contract, the Death Knight shouted the slogan of "I'll die for my master" as they charged at the gigantic Titan Giant. For some reason, this reminded me of an ancient knight charging at a windmill … Since the result would likely be the same, I might as well observe two seconds of silence for them.
* Zi zi zi zi zi. *
Alright then, in the next second, the Titan Giant simply waved his arm, causing berserk lightning to devour everything in front of him. The next moment, not even ashes were left of the Undead Knight. All that was left was a crystallized, charred pit.
"Davey! How dare you! "
But at the next moment, he strangely regained his calm and continued his journey towards Oak Town.
However, the pitiful Davey once again experienced great joy and sorrow when he witnessed such a dramatic scene next to the small white house.
If he was still alive, and if his heart could still beat, he would have been tormented to the point where his heart stopped beating. He would have been hovering between life and death again.
Thunder's angry roars were still echoing in his ears. Being called out by Harley was a powerful and authoritative statement in and of itself. Davey was shocked to the core, just like how a snake would stare at a frog.
However, Yins chuckled as he reached out and patted Davey, freeing him.
"I've finally caught you."
The next moment, Yins vanished with Davey, and then …
"How could this be!?"
He directly appeared in front of me! That's right, the Titan Giant had found me!
"Don't be so astonished. That'll only lower my evaluation of you. You're the first person to be able to play tricks right in front of me without being discovered after so many days. Be proud, mortal. I, Yins, the fourth Titan Giant, grant you the honor of being able to converse with me. "
His long hair fluttered in the wind as Yins' ethereal eyes looked directly at me. However, it was as if he was looking past me and directly at the distant starry sky. This annoying feeling was quite familiar. No wonder he was able to find me.
"Prophecy ability? Didn't you say that I can't use it anymore? "
"No, this isn't a spell. Your attack was the cause, and the fact that my cute little brother was attacked was the effect. I was merely investigating the source."
"You followed your instincts to the source? What an enviable talent. Mages who specialized in prophecy would probably find it inconceivable. Is this a common ability of the Titan Giant species, or is it something unique to you? "
"Out of all my brothers, I'm probably the only one who knows how to do this. However, I'm quite interested in how you made those undead vanish. Vanishing is both a cause and an effect. This is the first time I've ever seen such an incomprehensible phenomenon. Could you tell me how you did it?"
Although we were conversing, we were also doing our best to probe each other.
"You don't seem that strong, but the strange thing is that my instincts are telling me that you're dangerous. It seems that you can threaten me? No, my sense of danger is even stronger. Do you have the ability to threaten my main body? "
The dimensional door in the void could open at any moment. And when Frigidwinter Earth truly descended, only death would be left for me. The freezing flames that came with absolute zero should also be able to threaten the Titan Giants.
However, I only opened a small crack in the dimensional door, and Yins already sensed it. It would be impossible to plot against such an opponent. He was truly difficult to deal with.
"Take a guess. Still, dying together with a Titan Giant does seem like a good deal."
I narrowed my eyes and lowered my head, my ice magic sword already in my hand. I couldn't afford to be careless for even a moment against such an opponent. Since Yins could sense my killing intent, how could I not sense his killing intent as well?
We seemed to be having a calm conversation, but in the background, there was a giant of light fighting against a small monster. The giant of light was the thunder Titan Giant, while the vines and leaves transformed into a gigantic treant that resembled Jill.
"You, you, you … Emperor Roland!"
At this moment, Davey, who had been teleported away by Yins, finally recognized me.
He had a complex expression as he watched me, as if he knew something. However, when he remembered that I was the one who had made him suffer so miserably, all his emotions transformed into hatred and anger.
The demon stared at me, but an Undead Emperor's reputation was like a tree's shadow. An Undead Emperor's power over the undead was real, so Davey didn't dare to attack me at all. Actually, he was a Myth-ranked undead, and he could easily defeat ten of me … That was true under normal circumstances, but the prerequisite was that I didn't use my ultimate weapons.
"An Undead Emperor? An Undead Emperor who's alive? I'm becoming more and more interested in you. "
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in being gay at all, and I deeply detest muscular men … Beyana, stop watching! If you keep watching, we're going to lose, and the Contract Heroes plan will be ruined. You're going to go bankrupt! "
Finally, I decided to use this trump card that couldn't even be considered a trump card.
"Goddess of Wealth Beyana? How could she possibly be here? "
I suddenly shouted angrily at the sky, causing Harloys to pause in surprise. However, what astonished her even more was that she received a reply from a rather familiar female voice in the sky.
"Don't even think about making me go bankrupt! However, this is my territory. Even if a Titan Giant enters without permission, he'll have to pay a toll! "
