Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 36 Human abilities truly have limits.

Two prayers.

Two wood carvings.

Although it was done casually, Helmaenie hadn't lost her memory. She just didn't expect that both wooden carvings were actually clearly visible to Amanisis.

They simply destroyed the body to cover their tracks...

Helmayne sighed inwardly, intending to offer a few words of explanation.

There's nothing shameful about appreciating beauty, and at that time she was in a special situation where her mind hadn't truly stabilized after her promotion, so those dark sides of her heart would unconsciously surface.

The only thing that might be criticized is her sexual orientation.

Hermaine was thick-skinned enough and believed she knew Amanisis, her "roommate," well enough that she didn't think the other person would care too much about such a trivial matter.

However, before she could explain, Amanisis did not pursue the matter of this "blasphemy" and instead brought up the topic of the giant gods:

"Given my current mental state and the ability to conceal myself, they can't see through my identity. But given their nature, we need to be careful around the tribe."

"Is there something wrong with these two deities?"

Helmani only knew of the tragic fate of these two in the future, but not their specific personalities. The tribe had never come into contact with such high-ranking beings. At most, some people had seen these gods in mythical creature forms from afar during festivals.

"Compared to other giants, and to other gods, they are among those who are in relatively good condition. But..." Amanisis said with a strange expression, "the higher the position of the giant, the more likely they are to have cannibalistic tendencies."

Hermaine frowned slightly.

It's not just the topic of cannibalism that's disturbing.

Instead, they felt it shouldn't be like this, since the origin of the pan-human faction was humans, not to mention that the parents of the Giant King were both human.

"She's in good shape, yet she's eating people? What kind of logic is that?" She didn't think Amanisis would deceive her, but the logic behind her statement was hard to make sense for a moment.

Amanisis shook her head and said, "I don't know the underlying reasons; I only know about this phenomenon."

Helmani pondered. She did have a way to confirm this: she would use her extraordinary abilities to delve into the collective unconscious sea that had been formed and accumulated in the giants' kingdom, and explore and search in the mental world of the giants whether the spiritual imprint of "giants eating people" truly existed in the collective unconscious sea of ​​the giant race.

Not all emotions and consciousness can ultimately settle into the collective unconscious.

Most of an individual's thoughts, behaviors, and consciousness fall into the ocean of the collective unconscious and are washed away by the "seawater." Only those that are extremely strong or appear repeatedly can remain and become a spiritual imprint.

If one can truly find the spiritual imprint that has been precipitated in that spiritual world, then the phenomenon of "giants eating people" must exist.

However, this method is somewhat dangerous. Even in the vast ocean of the human collective subconscious, there exist collective evil thoughts, desires, and some terrifying memory scenes... all of which can pollute the mind.

Not to mention the giants, a brutal and powerful superhuman race.

The slightest mistake could cause mental trauma, and one might even be unable to wake up from the real world again.

and--

The Ilusa tribe, sheltered by the giants, is located on the edge of the giant kingdom. From her current location, Helmaene would expend some effort to barely reach the ocean of consciousness where the giants' collective consciousness is deeply intertwined, but the risks would double.

"Let's try again when we come into contact with a low-ranking giant, or when we actually set foot on the territory of the giants..." Helmani sighed softly in her heart. Moreover, she realistically discovered that even if it was confirmed that the giants also had "cannibalism" that was more hidden than other races, their human tribes could not intervene or resist.

Human rights are not a luxury in this world...

All power comes from bloody struggle.

However, if it is indeed confirmed that the Titans cannibalistic, it would also explain where those humans who were punished or disappeared at the Titan Festival ultimately went...

Helmaene laughed angrily: "This world really does give you 'surprises'..."

The feeling of power gained from advancing to Sequence Four faded in Helmaenie's heart, and the ease that had been on her face these past few days also vanished.

Amanisis, who was playing with the sculpture molds nearby, said, "However... even in the worst-case scenario, I have the ability to get you out of there."

Having survived alongside the indescribable, high-ranking being known as the "King of the Demon Wolves," Amanisis was accustomed to forbearance, avoidance, and hiding in the shadows. She never did anything without certainty.

He has the goodwill to protect human tribes, but when the crisis exceeds His expectations or control, He can also abandon that goodwill.

Amanisis made no attempt to conceal anything from Hermaine; His attitude was perfectly clear.

Helmani was unsure what choice she would make when faced with a choice between the survival of her tribe and her personal safety.

This hesitation stemmed not only from a faint, albeit not strong, sense of maternal love, but also from a deep-seated resentment of one's own weakness and anger at oppression.

If that were to happen... I'd probably try to connect to the "Chaotic Sea," where the danger is unknown...

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Instead of actively using "psychological suggestion" to dispel these extreme thoughts that had arisen in her mind, Helmayne used her "observation" ability to analyze her personal mental state more deeply.

She now even possesses the ability to change her personality and self-perception.

But just as using extraordinary abilities to delve into the minds of others can breed madness, this method also accelerates the loss of her humanity.

Even worse, some may unconsciously develop the consciousness and perception of a dragon or a mentor, remnants of the extraordinary characteristics of a "manipulator".

Helmani knew that "maintaining one's identity" was something that extraordinary beings in the mysterious world, from the lowest ranks to those above the divine, desperately sought and rarely achieved, so she naturally wouldn't risk her life for scientific research.

The current consideration is how to "entertain" the gods from the giant race—

While praying that the other party maintains that "goodwill," we must also consider how to deal with the malice that these powerful individuals might reveal.

"Where are you going?" Amanisis asked as she saw Hermaine take her coat.

Before disappearing, Helmaenie, who intended to use the nearby dreamscape for a short-range teleportation, left behind a faint voice: "Go sit with Severus."

After Hermaine disappeared, Amanisis took down a mold of a statue in front of her, which was carved with Hermaine's holy image. Her smooth, jade-like fingertips gently caressed the wooden carving, stroking Hermaine's face and then her body.

The exquisitely carved holy robe crumbled inch by inch under His fingers… The image beneath the garment was re-carved by Him: “In this world where every step is difficult, how far can you go?”

In Severus's sparsely furnished and desolate home, a polite knock sounded softly.

Ocycus, who had not yet left, lifted the heavy curtain, pushed open the creaking wooden door, and paused for a moment when he saw Helmaene outside. Then he put on a bright, sunny smile: "Praise be to my lord."

Smiling like that, he immediately stepped aside to make way for those entering.

When I'm with Amanisis, I generally refer to Helmaene, who is already Sequence Four, as "she" rather than "He". It's not a typo, but a deliberate distinction.
