Hyperdimensional Player

Chapter 258 Destroying the Kingdom of Giants!
Above the endless waves.

Duncan stood majestically atop a giant whale, with Hyjal riding beside him. Hyjal was clearly riding such a mount for the first time and appeared somewhat nervous. As for the other barbarians, after their initial nervousness, they were now excitedly shouting and cheering.

"whale!"

"shark!"

"Giddy up! Let's go for a horse race!..."

These barbarians are not very bright, and many of the Oceanic descendants are already used to it.

Things are different now than before. In the past, their attention would probably have been focused on the beautiful sea monsters around them and the radiant Ocean Goddess, but now, for some reason, the barbarians are not so interested in them anymore.

Needless to say, Hyjal has not been near a woman for a long time.

Every day was filled with crazy training, with the thought of one day taking down Duncan.

As for the other barbarians, because of Crete's crushing defeat, everyone seems to have agreed that they shouldn't let women hinder their strength improvement. Now, a bunch of fools have all entered a state of asceticism, abstaining from sex and alcohol.

As it turns out, in the eyes of barbarians, honor is far more important than beauty.

Glory is a spiritual pursuit, while beauty is a physiological need.

These barbarians have transcended themselves.

Behind Duncan, Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, still drove her magnificent chariot. Behind her were many Oceanus descendants. Despite ruling the seas for a long time, their population has never been large. The total number of Oceanus descendants in the entire world is only a few thousand, and many of them have bloodlines so diluted that they are no different from ordinary people.

"The territory of the Flmor Giants is just ahead."

A goddess of the ocean pointed to the deep-sea rift ahead and said, "They built a palace in the canyon, as well as an altar to worship the Evil Eye Demon King."

These Oceanic Descendants are almost entirely female, with over 70% being female members.

As for why this is the case.

The reason is simple: all the male Oceanids died. The strongest group died in the battle for the position of sea god, while the weaker group died in the battle against the sea giants. In the end, only a group of orphans and widows were left after the fighting. Many Oceanids even had to go inland to seek the positions of gods of rivers and lakes.

The competition is relatively small.

Oceanus's father was one of the powerful figures who died fighting for the position of sea goddess.

—The Kingdom of Deep Sea Giants (Ruined Giants) (Crimson Skull Mark)!

Duncan stood atop the giant whale's back, turned around, surveyed the many barbarians behind him, and slowly said, "Are you ready to return to the embrace of the raging gods?"

"Warriors of Usgar from the Great Snowy Mountains of the North!"

Woo woo woo.

A cold north wind blew up, and the howling sea wind swept across the turbulent sea. The ocean currents also converged and flowed towards the North Sea, seemingly ready to take away the souls of the barbarians who died in battle at any moment.

A glorious death in battle!
The barbarians' lifelong pursuit.

Hyjal roared excitedly, and the other barbarians also pounded their chests and howled to the sky.

Behind them, the Oceanid Petira couldn't help but exclaim, "These barbarians who worship the wrathful gods are more warlike and fearless of death than we imagined."

It's true that men live to fight!

Beside her, Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, also looked solemn and whispered, "They are the most warlike and strongest branch of humanity."

"For a very long time, the barbarians have been the kin of the raging gods."

"We had no choice."

Almost all the legendary heroes of the Ocean Gods have died. If they hadn't been wiped out, they wouldn't have so easily submitted to Lady Raging Waves.

Duncan took out the Giant Strength Potion and drank it all.

This battle was destined to become a legendary feat, and the witch Greya had exhausted all her resources. After many barbarians drank the potion, gill-like organs appeared on the necks of their many barbarians, near their ears, but this only lasted for a very short time, about one or two hours.

However, with the blessing of Lady Raging Waves, the barbarians now possess the ability to fight at sea.

"Come with me!"

Let us conquer this sea!

Duncan raised his grandfather in his hands. Under the dark, heavy clouds, a bolt of lightning flashed, and his massive body stood on a giant whale that was tens of meters long. Thunder, lightning, and storms seemed to become his backdrop.

This scene stirred the blood of the surrounding barbarians, who had spent their lives pursuing a glorious battle that resembled a mythical epic.

boom!
The sea spirits around them emitted a series of shrill chants, and the undercurrents formed by the ocean crashed against the deep sea beneath their feet. An ancient runic barrier was destroyed, and the sea spirits unleashed a massive tsunami that directly crushed the coral reefs near the deep-sea canyon.

Duncan leaped into the sea!
Hyjal followed closely behind, and a dark mass of barbarians leaped from the backs of whales, killer whales, and sharks, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, as one after another, the burly giants rushed into the sea.

"Descendants of the Ocean God!"

"attack!"

Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, picked up a golden conch shell. As she blew her horn, some half-human, half-fish warriors emerged from the waves. They held weapons and surged with the waves. Although they were better swimmers than the barbarians, they were far inferior in terms of momentum.

—The Legion of Ruined Giants (Deep Sea Race) (Four to Six Stars)!

The first wave of attack was Lady Raging Waves' divine power.

A terrifying wave swept across the entire deep sea, and a massive whirlpool formed amidst the raging thunderstorm. A colossal whirlpool with a diameter exceeding several thousand meters drained the surrounding seawater, revealing everything in the abyssal trench.

Duncan's figure moved with the waves, as if he were surfing, or as if he were on a skateboard where the water flowed, gliding straight down in the huge whirlpool.

Run with the wind, freedom is the direction of the wind, chasing the power of thunder and lightning!

A series of lightning storms descended.

A dark mass of barbarians raised their weapons and, empowered by the raging gods, approached the enemy's deep-sea kingdom through the whirlpool.

Rumble!
A golden bolt of lightning struck Duncan's battle axe, the leaping arcs of electricity coalescing on its surface, and the surrounding divine power illuminating the dark depths of the sea ahead.

Dimensional space.

A notification flashed across the projected screen.

"You have received a blessing from the raging gods!"

—"You have received the blessing of the Storm Domain!"

—"You have received the blessing of the Power Domain!"

—"You have received the blessing of the Ocean Domain!"

—"You have entered the special state of [Chosen by the Gods]!"

A dense array of prompts appeared.

Those raging gods who had a connection with Lady Raging Waves or who had cooperated with each other during the Dark Ages were all granted a domain law that they possessed.

It's impossible for them to personally intervene; at most, they can only add a little bit of divine power.

Duncan roared and swung his grandfather sword, cleaving through the towering waves. In the horrified gazes of the Ocean Gods, a wave hundreds of meters high was split in two by Duncan's leaping strike!

The waves were cleaved through.

The sound of thunder echoed throughout the entire deep-sea rift.

With overwhelming force, the grandfather cleaved through the waves and split the earth, as if a myth had been reborn. A deafening roar like an earthquake came from the underwater rift ahead, and a five-star golden deep-sea wizard was instantly killed, its body buried by collapsing boulders.

This is not just Duncan's power, but the power of the raging gods, who are showing off their might to the whole world.

On the projected page.

Duncan's human form has an extra golden power bar.

The divine power bar was consumed by about one-third, and then began to recover rapidly, rising segment by segment.

Ms. Raging Waves has already begun to unleash her full power!

Duncan is now her right-hand man, the two red sticks chosen by the raging gods. The gods will not personally take action in this battle, but everyone behind the scenes is exerting their influence.

The raging gods are using Duncan, and Duncan is also using their power to fight a mythological war.

"The divine power bar is much stronger than the mana bar."

Duncan cleaved a deep-sea wizard to death with an axe, then hurled his grandfather, which transformed into lightning. It was like a whirlwind of death, instantly slicing several sea giants in half at the waist before automatically spinning back into Duncan's palm.

—The primal wrath!
With a roar like a behemoth from the abyss, Duncan was more ferocious than an ordinary human. After shattering the barrier in front of him, he charged into the deep-sea kingdom of the rudimentary giant.

—Thunderous Roar.

Hyjal followed closely behind, his battle cry like thunder, causing shockwaves to form in the surrounding seawater. The two, one in front and one behind, killed five or six deep-sea giants and stormed into the enemy's territory with terrifying ferocity.

—The Evil Eye King—Son of Katoro (Death Eye) (Crimson Skull Mark)!

In the waves directly ahead, there was a group of monsters far larger than the land giants. They looked extremely ferocious and ugly, but their strength was quite astonishing. They used all kinds of weapons, and many of them were carrying heavy anchors.

The King of Furmer at the forefront inherited the bloodline of his ancestors. One of his eyes was closed, and the moment it opened, a barbarian who was charging too fast nearby died instantly.

The Eye of Death. In legend, before the Danu invaded Ireland, the Furmor giants were dominant. Their first king was the evil-eyed demon king Balor, who was prophesied by the druids to be killed by his descendants. To avoid this doom, he imprisoned his daughter, Enya, in a crystal tower.

Meanwhile, Saan, a minor god of the Danu race, entered the Crystal Tower with the help of a female druid and slept with Enya, eventually giving birth to three children.

When Barol found out, he was furious. He threw the three children into the sea to drown them, but his servants secretly carried them out. However, one of the children fell out without his noticing. This child was found by the craftsman god Herpo. He was the future god-king of the Danu tribe, the god of light, Rug-Mak-Esoren.

Luger eventually killed Balor and became the new god-king of the Danu race.

After that, the Flmor giants gradually disappeared.

In the terms of the Root World, their existence has been completely severed there.

If you're not a formidable character, you can't stand a chance in the Root World. Almost all of the Danu gods have been banished from the Root Reality.

In terms of sheer power, the Celtic gods were far inferior to the ancient Greek and Norse gods, and might not even have been a match for the ancient Egyptian gods.

Human form - Quinn (chosen by the gods) (golden skull mark)!

Duncan reached out towards the sky and grabbed at it. In an instant, the raging gods lent him the power of the storm. A bolt of lightning that struck down from the sky transformed into a golden lightning spear. Duncan held a battle axe in one hand and the lightning spear in the other. In the instant he threw it, it was like a flash of dazzling light.

This battle of myths was destined to end in victory from the very beginning.

For the raging gods will not tolerate defeat!
Ah!
A shrill scream sounded.

Not far away, the King of the Evil Eye cried out in pain, and the grotesque giant reflection on its body gradually dissipated. This was the 'Thunder of Divine Wrath,' a transcendent divine power unique to the raging gods. The divine power of the raging gods destroyed its Eye of Death, and its original blood-red skull mark shattered instantly, directly transforming into a six-star silver-gray mark.

Its golden body has been broken.

As the power of the raging gods swept across the entire deep-sea rift, all the altars of the Kingdom of Furmor the Giants collapsed with a deafening roar.

Hyjal leaped forward, swinging his warhammer to smash into the enemy's knee.

The king of the deep sea giants ahead let out a scream, his massive body losing its footing. Duncan, now completely enraged, was like a beast from the abyss. His imposing figure was covered in blood, and the blood flowing under his skin even rose into the air. With a deafening roar, he leaped and slashed across a hundred meters, directly over the rift and striking the opponent's thick neck.

This leaping slash was no less powerful than Grom Hellscream splitting the Abyss Lord in two.

boom!
With a single axe strike, most of the enemy's neck was severed. Duncan drew his battle axe and swung it with tremendous force. His grandfather, with the power of thunder, struck the enemy's other neck. Filthy blood gushed out wildly. The severely wounded and dying Evil Eye King instantly grabbed his grandfather's grip. The immense strength prevented Duncan from drawing his weapon for a moment.

Without hesitation, he released his grip, jumped onto the enemy's shoulder, and then stabbed the giant king in the eye with both hands, bursting his eyeballs. Next, he wrapped his arms around the enemy's neck, locking it with brute force. With a snap, Duncan broke the enemy's neck. Finally, with a sudden burst of strength, he actually pulled the hideous head and spine out together.

"The Wrath of the Gods!"

"Watch us!"

"We offer glory and victory to the gods!"

Duncan raised the enormous head, which was over a meter in diameter. The grotesque giant's head was blind, with empty eye sockets staring at the sky. Amidst the rumbling thunder, the raging gods seemed to feel great pleasure at the barbarians' brutal slaughter and glorious victory.

Behind Duncan, a dark mass of barbarians, seemingly insane, were battling the deep-sea giants. After slaying their enemies, they severed their heads and raised them high as offerings to the raging gods!
It's too bloody.

Too brutal.

Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, remained silent for a long time, while the Oceanids fighting behind her watched in horror.

If they don't submit to Lady Raging Waves, the barbarians will chop off their heads.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these barbarians are pure warriors; they can kill people without any problem because the buffs they have are often personally applied by the raging gods.

This is the true family.

Ocemeter's gaze was fixed on Duncan, who held aloft the ferocious head of the Giant King, his expression unreadable, his eyes extremely deep.

From this moment on, she became Lady Nutao's subordinate god.

"Surrender!"

"Or they all have to die!"

Duncan tossed the grotesque head of the Giant King to Hyjal behind him. He then walked up to a female sea giant priestess, carrying his grandfather's battle axe. The gleaming axe blade was pressed against her neck, as if it would sever her head at any moment.

If you beat them into submission, take them in and become their dog.

Unlike the other raging gods, Lady Raging Waves was not bloodthirsty; she preferred to make the spirits of the sea submit to her.

Before Duncan, the imposing priestess slowly knelt down.

This kneeling signifies the end of the Deep Sea Giant Kingdom; the raging gods have informed the world that they intend to join the struggle for the faith among the gods.

Because only those who believe in gods need mortal believers.

Missionary work?

It's impossible for me to proselytize; it's impossible for me to proselytize in this lifetime.

Only by beating people into submission and forcing them to their knees can one spread their faith and barely maintain a semblance of a livelihood.

Make the raging gods painstakingly study the doctrine, and then spend hundreds or thousands of years preaching.

You might as well kill them.

First conquer the island kingdoms, then conquer the spirits of the sea, and then you can face the native gods of the Storm Islands and the ancient Egyptian gods of the Gold Coast.

Others who convert to the faith of gods do so step by step by accumulating faith.

The raging gods are as simple and unpretentious as barbarians; their goal is to defeat others and make them believe in them!
Needless to say.

Duncan is now the most dazzling top fighter in the eyes of the raging gods, and after this battle, he has completely surpassed Hyjal.

Goodheim Palace.

This is an ancient ruin left behind by the Oceanids, a huge crystal palace, said to have been stolen from the giants. In ancient times, the Oceanids fought many battles with the giants, or rather, the giants fought with almost every kind of god.

The barbarians, unsophisticated by worldly affairs, were stunned even by the magnificent Crystal Palace, leaving even Hyjal speechless.

One by one, beautiful maids, half-human and half-fish, served fine wine and delicacies.

In the tradition of the barbarians, there must be a grand celebration after a great battle. After they die in battle, they enter the Hall of Heroes of the Gods and must first have a good meal and drink well.

Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, sat in the main seat, while Duncan and Hygar occupied the upper seats.

Just as the barbarians were making a ruckus, a beautiful sea spirit maiden slowly walked to the side of Oceanid Ocemetery, the goddess of ocean currents. She leaned close to the oceanid's ear and whispered, "The oracle of the Lady of the Raging Waves commands you to serve her chosen warriors."

"She will bless you, and perhaps you will bear children."

Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, shuddered. She turned her head and looked at Duncan, who was drinking with Hyjal and the others. Her expression was hesitant, but she finally bit her lip and nodded.

These descendants of the Ocean Gods are now servants of the Lady of the Raging Waves; they must please her to continue their lineage.

The Oceanid Petira, who was standing nearby, seemed to sense something and came over and whispered, "Aunt, what happened?"

"But is there an oracle from the lady?"

The sea nymph beside her glanced at her, her gaze sweeping over her, and slowly said, "You come along too."

"The bloodline of the Ocean Gods must be merged with the legendary heroes of the barbarian tribes."

The Oceanid Petira froze, then obediently lowered her head.

They could only submit to Lady Nutao.

A major overhaul.

Lady Raging Waves will not allow them to continue intermarrying within the seas. All the ocean gods of the entire ocean must be integrated into the bloodline of the raging gods' offspring.

Furthermore, the future king of the Ocean Gods will only be born from descendants who have merged bloodlines.

The raging gods are reckless, but not stupid. They have the oldest and most direct way of annexing, a method they have used since the ancient tribal era.

That's how it was arranged for Haijal before, and now it's Duncan's turn.

What Ocean God Clan?
In the eyes of the raging gods, those descendants of the gods were not true gods at all, but merely mortals with divine blood.

In the eyes of the gods of the ancient Dark Ages, even the slightest questioning from them was considered blasphemy and offense.

The banquet ended late at night.

Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, changed into a gorgeous mermaid gown. She turned and glanced at Petira, the ocean goddess with a sorrowful expression, and said softly, "This is our destiny."

The Oceanids have fallen into decline; they have no other choice.

She gave birth to children.

Only then could they gain the trust of the Lady of the Raging Waves; otherwise, other sea spirits would take her place.

Beside them, alluring sea spirits watched them expressionlessly. These ladies-in-waiting of the raging waves would bless them, provide ritualistic assistance, and ensure that both of them could bear children.

Oceanus, the goddess of ocean currents, glanced at them calmly, and then, surrounded by several Oceanus goddesses, slowly entered the luxurious rear hall of the Crystal Palace.

Before gaining the trust of Lady Raging Waves, they were stripped of their power to rule the sea.
