Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 63 Cannibalism

While chatting idly on the street, a commotion was heard in the distance.

"It's the royal court's hunters apprehending a criminal." Bradel chuckled as he gazed into the distance. "Ha, it's 'cannibalism' after all."

As he said this, a greedy and nostalgic look flashed across Bradel's face.

Hermaeene glanced at Him with slight surprise.

At this moment, the heavily armored royal hunters also saw Bradel watching from the sidelines. They quickly escorted the prisoner to Bradel and bowed, saying, "Honorable Lord."

Facing this well-mannered hunter captain, Bradel praised, "I recognize you, 'Light Slayer' Milgongen. Even my father has praised your bravery."

The Light Slayer… Helmaenie’s heart skipped a beat. The title of the Hunter Captain was truly domineering.

As she was thinking this, Helmaenie got a closer look at the giant being escorted.

He was of average build and lacked spirituality, unlike a high-sequence extraordinary being. His vertical eyes on his forehead were lifeless and dull.

When Helmaine observed the other person's mental state, she felt a stinging sensation coming from her back.

It's the sensation of that spiritual imprint...

Helmani even sensed from that clear feedback that the criminal had recently eaten someone.

These are likely humans from other tribes who were conscripted for this celebration.

Hermaine's expression remained unchanged.

"This guy actually did something like devouring his own kind?" Bradel grinned as he examined the prisoner, who appeared rather thin among the giants. He glanced at "Light Killer" Milgongen with a questioning look, his expression one of disbelief.

"Yes, Your Highness," Milgongen reported, bowing his head with his helmet removed. "Only when a person devoid of divinity commits such a grave crime will we, the royal hunters, be mobilized."

Cannibalism was a serious crime personally decreed by the "King of Giants," and the prisoners were arrested by the royal court's hunters, with a significance similar to being paraded through the streets.

Bradel clicked his tongue and asked, "Did he lose control? And who did he eat? To do something like this right before the festival."

Bradel's attitude at this moment was subtle, and Helmaenie, who controlled the mental domain, actually sensed a hint of envy in him.

The hunters, including "The Light Slayer," were oblivious to this emotion and respectfully replied, "This fellow showed no obvious signs of losing control. He attacked his fellow workers while preparing for the festival. Because they were in a secluded spot, by the time others discovered him, he had already devoured the giant, leaving only half a body."

"Oh? It's a serious criminal who actively eats his own kind?" Bradel's tone became slightly excited, and at this moment, he even seemed to intend to keep this criminal by his side.

Helmaenie could sense that Bradel was caught up in an uncontrollable excitement.

However, this feeling came to an abrupt end and quickly faded away.

However, from his appearance alone, one could not discern any strange emotional shift in Bradel.

Bradel's tone turned dull at this point, and he waved to the hunters, saying, "Take your prisoners and get out of my sight."

The royal hunters were surprised by the prince's change in attitude, but they dared not ask any questions and followed Bradel's orders to leave with the prisoner.

As Helmaenie observes Bradel's emotional shifts, she senses a familiar power, one she has felt before in the ocean of the collective unconscious—the power of twilight.

It was the twilight authority of the "King of Giants" that caused Bradel's uncontrollable excitement to wane.

The fact that she needed to use authority to control such emotions made Helmaenie glance at Bradel, guessing that this "God of Glory" had probably devoured his own kind.

They even have a penchant for cannibalism.

"It's boring." Bradel muttered dejectedly, his gaze suddenly falling on Helmaenie, then shifting to Selena beside her.

Helmaenie frowned and stood in front of Selena.

"This is boring," Bradel muttered again, and without saying anything more to Helmani, he left without looking back, his spirits waning.

After the massive figure disappeared, Selena, still reeling from the malice it had just displayed, trembled slightly in her voice: "Just now... He wanted to kill us?"

Helmani shook her head and sighed, "They want to eat you. So, make sure you don't act alone in this giant's court."

Hearing Helmaene's straightforward explanation in human language, Selena looked around at the giants with a bewildered expression. She suppressed the overwhelming fear within her, but her voice still trembled slightly:

"They look quite similar to us... I used to think these were just rumors, and believed they were all just rumors..."

Knowing that Selena was thinking of her brother again, Helmey sighed:

"It was the forceful suppression by the gods of the giant race that caused the giants to lose a considerable degree of their wildness, such as cannibalism. In the earliest days, this phenomenon was very common among the giants, but now it is a serious crime among the giants."

Standing at the bustling corner of Giants Street, Helmaenie's expression was slightly cold: "With each generation, they are gradually regaining their rationality. But this process is far too long and cruel for us humans."

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

Since the two were speaking softly in human language, they did not cause any disturbance.

But a rather large disturbance gradually spread from afar.

Helmaenie saw the "Light Slayer" Milgongen, who had already gone far away, rushing towards her, holding a greatsword as bright as the dawn, and directly severing the head of a giant.

The gushing blood spilled all over the ground.

Before the headless corpse, a giant who had been eaten and was injured huddled in terror against the other giants around him.

But the next second, the injured giant, who had been bitten, suddenly bit the face of the giant closest to him!

The giant's movements appeared incredibly slow to the "Light Slayers".

The "Light Slayer" knocked out the victim who had suddenly attacked the other Titans even faster, but looked puzzled, wondering why the injured person would also attack others.

The royal hunters then took away the corpses on the ground and the knocked-out giants who had transformed from victims into attackers.

"Are they killing each other?" Selena murmured at what was happening before her eyes, but a hint of pleasure appeared on her face.

Helmani ruffled the girl's hair, but didn't use her alteration ability to erase Selena's negative emotions: "It seems there's some trouble among the giants."

Could this be the work of the dragons?

But Helmaene did not sense anything unusual in the ocean of the subconscious, especially since this collective ocean of the giants' subconscious was still shrouded in the authority of twilight.

Hermaine suddenly remembered those strange islands of the mind...

A guess involuntarily popped into her mind:

Could it be a "mistake"?
