Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 75 Giant

"Hiss!" Truman jumped out of the underworld. The sudden burst of the "River of Eternal Darkness" caught him off guard, and he almost couldn't stop the Book of Dreams from colliding with it.

Once they collide, it will be beyond Truman's control.

"I hope it goes smoothly." He took one last look at the depths of the underworld, then wandered away and arrived at the Silver Kingdom.

Amanisis is watching over the affairs of the underworld, so there's no need for him to interfere. Now that the Giant King Olmir has been defeated, it's time to raise the curtain on the Giant Court.

The Land of Silver is a very important node.

Truman emerged from the spirit world and met Lilith, who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Is the era of the ancient gods finally coming to an end?" Lilith sat casually on the city wall of Silver City, a hint of melancholy on her stunningly beautiful face.

That was also the era in which He lived, all the memories He had since He gained sentience. Now these memories will fade, and it's inevitable that they will evoke some emotions.

"This is the flaw of human nature." But Lilith soon began to analyze her own heart.

"In the past, I would have just clapped and cheered at the deaths of guys like Olmir."

The progenitor of the vampires arrogantly mocked his former adversaries who had vanished into the annals of history—this is the kind of thing Lilith would do.

Truman nodded slightly. "That was you, and that's you now."

Both of them sat on the city wall, gazing at the giants' royal court, which was still some distance away.

As dusk fell, the whole world was tinged with a sense of desolation.

Silently, the hidden angel descended; its faint figure made it easy to overlook its presence.

laugh!

A rift appeared in the void, and Sasriel, dressed as the Vice-King of Heaven, stepped out from it.

This was the first time that all members of the Dream Council had attended an offline event.

Under the vast sky, atop the city wall, four figures stood or sat, waiting in tacit agreement, gazing at the gradually blood-stained twilight in the distance.

……

Badheir was the first of the giants to leave the underworld after he noticed the escape of the giant king Olmir.

The God of Honor is gathering the remaining giant warriors to withdraw from the Underworld, but this is not easy due to the fierce counterattack of the undead in the Underworld, and it may be delayed for some time.

The Goddess of Harvest was in a similar situation; because of her status as the Queen of Giants, she suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Phoenix Clan during the war and was in poor condition.

"Father God!" Outside the Twilight Palace, Badhall knelt on one knee, devoutly worshipping the Twilight within.

"I have organized a large-scale sacrificial ceremony within the tribe." The large-scale sacrificial ceremony of "Anchor" helps the Giant King Ormir stabilize his condition.

"Bradle is protecting the army's retreat, losses..." Badhall paused suddenly, waiting.

"How much damage have been done?" The twilight inside the hall trembled, and the Giant King's somewhat cold yet weak voice rang out.

"...More than half of the participating army was lost, but I have recovered most of their characteristics," Badheir replied, bowing his head.

"Very good." Even the Giant King's coldness softened a little.

"Is there any movement in the divine kingdom on the other side of the sun?" The Giant King was even more concerned about the actions of the ancient sun god.

His current state is not much different from when Lilith self-destructed. Losing his arm has little impact; at most, he has lost some characteristics, which are exactly what the ancient gods have in abundance.

But what's worse is that the characteristics within Him are almost impossible to suppress. The forcibly aggregated characteristics are showing signs of separation, and at that point, His existence will collapse.

If the ancient sun god were to attack at this point, the outcome would already be sealed. There would be no longer the fragile balance maintained by Lilith's self-destruction.

"The Sun God's kingdom hasn't made any moves, but..." Badhall hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.

"Speak!" the Giant King coldly commanded.

"I have discovered the traces of 'misfortune' in the underworld," Badheir reported, bowing his head under the imposing presence of the Giant King.

"Misfortune?" The twilight atmosphere in the twilight palace seemed to pause.

"Why now?!" The Giant King's voice was low, filled with intense regret and anger.

The goddess of misfortune has always lurked outside the sight of the ancient gods, and her "hidden" authority makes all efforts to find her futile.

The giants searched for the goddess of misfortune for hundreds of years, but to no avail.

But it was precisely at this moment that Olmir heard the news.

"He must be looking for an opportunity to become a god in my battle with Greta, and once He finds the right opportunity..."

The giant king, whose mental state was even slipping into danger, fell silent. The current situation was far too good for the "misfortune" lurking in the shadows.

His condition is extremely unstable, and Greta's situation is not much better. Once "Misfortune" becomes a god, he will definitely not be able to resist attacking the two ancient gods.

In fact... the success rate is not low!

"Come in!" The Giant King suddenly called out, summoning Badhel into the Twilight Palace.

"Yes!" Badheir stood up and walked heavily into the twilight.

The palace slowly came into view at dusk, revealing a road that led deep into the palace.

Ormir, seated on the giant's throne, could be vaguely seen deep within.

His poor physical condition was directly reflected in the giant's body. The giant, representing decay and twilight, was now mutilated and rotting, with many places revealing his stark white bones.

Faintly visible within were shimmering lights of different colors, a characteristic indicating a tendency to disintegrate.

In this state, Olmir was even unable to move; this twilight that filled the palace was his last resort for self-preservation.

"Take my sword and go find Budlar and Omibella, and stop 'Misfortune' from ascending to the throne at all costs!"

Olmir's tone was extremely cold. This "at all costs" meant that the remaining giant warriors and even the three gods, Baomibella, were already within the scope of sacrifice.

"...Yes, Father God!"

Badhair knelt before the throne of Olmir, signifying his submission.

Then he slowly stood up and walked towards the greatsword at the edge of the throne.

This is the Giant King's most powerful weapon. After obtaining it, the Giant King spent hundreds of years using his Twilight Authority to erode and modify it, resulting in its current form.

"Father God, how should this sword be used?" Badhall felt a strong sense of palpitation as he approached the sword.

This thing is a fusion of two characteristics, which are derived from the "Giant" and "Red Priest" pathways.

It seems to possess a power of eternal annihilation and the end of all things.

That was a power far more terrifying than "twilight," "night," and "death."

"Its strongest power is 'The End,' a power far greater than 'Twilight,' but even I cannot wield it, or the sword will surely shatter."

"Its second ability is one you can use: 'Slaughter,' which allows you to find weaknesses and kill with a single blow, even the rules themselves."
