Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 40 The Era of Deterrence?

These giant deities seemed to have begun to realize the dangers of having mixed characteristics.

They are consciously devouring ordinary humans, not the extraordinary ones among them.

Ordinary humans are a harmless "delicious" food in their eyes.

Helmani had anticipated this situation. After a sigh, she asked, "Your Highnesses, is it possible that ordinary humans also possess some kind of characteristic?"

Omibella smiled gently upon hearing this:

"Your reasoning... is this the human mentality of protecting one's own kind?"

Looking at Hermaine, Omibella slowly said:

"Under the king's advocacy, our giant race has also developed this atmosphere, abandoning the evil custom of cannibalism."

"I have found that this habit does indeed help maintain the rationality of the entire group. Even more broadly, there are indeed many habits that humans have maintained that we can learn from."

"But unfortunately, Helmani, although I am keen to advocate for extracting value from the human race, it seems that its nutritional value is still higher at present."

After waiting for the seemingly gentle Omibella to finish her extremely malicious words, Helmaenie spoke again:

"Your Highness, I possess the ability of dragons to delve into the ocean of the collective unconscious. In the ocean of the human collective unconscious, I have seen many spiritual imprints belonging to the 'giants'."

After hearing this, Omibella said dismissively, "Perhaps some humans were lucky enough to consume some of the characteristics left behind by the Titans while gaining their abilities."

"That's what I thought at first too," Helmaenie agreed, then changed the subject: "But why would our noble king expect the rise of humanity?"

Omibella's gentle expression turned cold; she seemed to have thought of something, and her tone became dull: "What do you want to say?"

Helmani lowered her head and said, "Humans may have evolved from a branch of the giants."

Badhall scoffed from the side, "My father never forbade us from eating humans."

But Omibella stopped Badhall, who was about to say something.

He looked deeply at Hermaine and said slowly:

"Abstaining from cannibalism is a stable and rational measure. Are humans possibly a branch of the Titans?"

Omi Bella chuckled softly: "Your reason... does make some sense."

Seeing Badhil's disappointment and resentment, Omibella continued, "Badhil, we are of noble birth; do not attempt anything that may pose a danger. When we return, I will inquire with your father about this matter and have other Titans conduct trials to determine if consuming humans is harmless. Remember, I hope you can become as great as your father..."

As she said this, Omibella's huge vertical eyes suddenly paused, realizing that Badhall hadn't eaten anything that could make her stronger in a long time.

The previous hunt for the alien species by the gods did not truly advance Badheir's abilities; it merely allowed him to master them more skillfully after the arduous battle.

The trait that allows Badhall to grow... Omibella's expression turned serious.

But then He looked at Hermaine as if nothing had happened: "In that case, prepare some meat."

Helmaene breathed a sigh of relief, relaxing her mind that was always ready to connect with the Chaos Sea.

After becoming a "manipulator", He felt a connection with the Chaos Sea and sensed a terrifying power hidden within it.

That was not a power she could control, but she was confident she could unleash it and use it to threaten powerful enemies.

Fortunately, it didn't come to that extreme.

Hermaine didn't want to be a "Swordholder" either...

The tribe then continuously brought the prepared food to the council hall. Helmaene watched the giants feast and observed that they were not truly hungry, but rather filling a spiritual "hunger."

Therefore... cannibalism was not necessary for them; it was more of a hobby and pastime.

The giant gods arrived with great fanfare and departed with great pomp.

Under the blazing sun, Amanisis was at home familiarizing herself with human language when she noticed the noise. Without even looking up, she asked, "You're back so early?"

"There's nothing more for me to do after that." Helmani threw herself onto the soft bed and lay there in a daze.

Amanisis put down the stone tablet she was holding and followed them into the bedroom, asking, "Were you harassed by the giants?"

"It went more smoothly than expected." Helmani sighed deeply.

It was better than expected, but there were also quite a few problems.

The Giant King's schemes and plans against her and humanity, and Omibella's apparent research into whether humans are edible... all these things made Helmaenie very unhappy.

Although she also secretly planted a small seed in Omibella's heart—letting her guess the only upward path for the god of dawn.

At this moment, Amanisis skillfully sat down beside Hermaine's bed and said, "I am preparing to reveal my demigod status to accelerate the collection of faith, and then consume that special ability."

"So soon?" Hearing Amanises's plan, Helmaenie, resting her head on her arm, turned to look at Him and asked, "Aren't you going to wait for a new demigod to appear in the tribe?"

Amanisis shook her head and said, "It's hard to say how long this will take... Once I successfully advance and possess power below the level of a king, even if someone suspects something, there will be room for maneuver."

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

Hermaine remained silent, knowing that Amanisis sensed the pressure emanating from her, which was why she was so eager to gain greater power.

Even greater power...

Lying in bed, Helmani suddenly said, "I want to communicate with a dangerous place, and I hope you can help me keep it secret."

"Is it dangerous?" Amanisis asked.

Helmani whispered, "There's no danger as much as you coming into contact with the source matter."

Hermaine knew that Amanisis had secretly made contact with the "Source Castle" at the risk of going out of control, and that she was trying to seize the Source Castle's power that transcended the sequence.

But this attempt was destined to be futile; only those extraordinary individuals from the Gou family who were imbued with the aura of the Source Castle could possibly gain access to it.

Only those extraordinary individuals from the Gou family who are imbued with the aura of the Source Castle can closely resemble the image of that "Celestial Venerable" and better become the vessel for the "Celestial Venerable's" resurrection.

But clearly, a woman with Amanisis's personality will always have her own ideas.

"Okay. When?" Amanisis asked.

"Let's do it now."

The darkness, possessing hidden authority and capable of nourishing the spirit, descended once more, enveloping everything. Helmaenie closed her eyes, her spirit spreading within the darkness, her spiritual body silently chanting the incantation that had "brought" her to this world.

"The omniscient and omnipotent creator;"

"An omniscient and omnipotent creator;"

"The all-knowing and all-powerful Lord of the Stars."

As the incantation ended, a strange sensation connected with Helmaenie's mind, and the familiar "grey-white" mist enveloped and lifted her consciousness, allowing her to arrive at the indescribable "ocean."

From afar, Helmaenie found the target she wanted to contact: the remnants of the past, dressed in research lab coats, lying quietly in the gray mist.

The ancient sun god.

It was also the source of the terrifying power she sensed from this "chaotic sea".
