Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 36: Human Capabilities Really Have Limits

Pray twice.

Two wood carvings.

Although it was a casual act, Hermione did not lose her memory. However, she did not expect that both wooden sculptures were clearly visible to Amanesis's "sight".

Bai destroyed the corpse...

Hermione sighed inwardly and tried to explain.

There is nothing to be ashamed of about the love of beauty. Moreover, she was in a special situation at that time where her spirit had not yet really stabilized after her promotion, and the dark side of her heart would be revealed unconsciously.

The only thing she could be criticized for is her sexual orientation.

Hermione was thick-skinned enough, and she believed she knew her "roommate" Amanesis well enough to not think that he would care too much about such a small matter.

But before she could explain, Amanesis did not pursue this "blasphemy" and took the initiative to talk about the giant gods:
"With my current mental state and stealth abilities working better, they won't be able to see through my identity. But given their temperaments, the tribe needs to be careful."

"Is there something wrong with these two gods?"

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

"Compared to other Titans, compared to other Subaltern Gods, they're in pretty good shape. But..." Amanesis said with a strange expression, "The higher the Titan's rank, the more likely they are to eat humans."

Hermione frowned slightly.

It's not just the topic of cannibalism that makes people uncomfortable.

But I feel that this shouldn't be the case. The source of the pan-human camp is humans, not to mention that the Giant King's parents are both humans.

"You're in good shape, but you still eat people? What kind of logic is that?" She didn't think Amanisis would lie to her, but the logic behind this statement was difficult to understand.

Amanesis shook his head and said, "I don't know the underlying reason. I only know this phenomenon."

Hermione pondered, she actually had a way to confirm this matter, that is to use her extraordinary ability to dive into the collective subconscious sea that has settled and blended in the giant kingdom, and in the spiritual world of the giants, to explore and find out whether the spiritual imprint of "giants eating people" really exists in the collective subconscious sea of the giants.

Not all emotions and consciousness can eventually settle in the collective subconscious.

Most of the thoughts, behaviors, and consciousness of each individual fall into the ocean of collective subconsciousness and will be washed away by the "sea water". Only those that are extremely strong or appear repeatedly can remain and become spiritual imprints.

If we can really find the spiritual imprint that has settled in that spiritual world, then the phenomenon of "giants eating people" must exist.

However, this method is somewhat dangerous. Even in the ocean of humanity's collective subconscious, there are accumulated evil thoughts, desires, and some horrific memory scenes... which can pollute the spirit.

Not to mention the giants, a tyrannical and powerful supernatural race.

If you are not careful, you will suffer mental trauma and may never wake up from the real world again.

and--

The Irusha tribe is sheltered by the giants and is located on the edge of the giant kingdom. Starting from its current position, Hermione has to spend some effort, and although she can barely touch the ocean of consciousness where the giants collectively settle and blend, the risk will double.

I'll try again when I come into contact with a low-sequence giant, or when I actually set foot on the giant's territory... Hermione sighed softly in her heart. She also realized realistically that even if it was confirmed that the giants also had "cannibalism" that was more hidden than other races, their human tribe would be unable to interfere or resist.

There is no such luxury as human rights in this world... All power comes from bloody struggle.

However, if it is confirmed that giants engage in cannibalism, it can also explain where those humans who were punished and disappeared during the Giant Festival actually went...

Hermione laughed out loud in anger: "This world is really full of surprises..."

The sense of fulfillment that came with advancing to Sequence Four faded from Hermione's heart, and the sense of ease that had been evident in her expression for the past few days also vanished.

Seeing this, Amanisis, who was playing with the sculpture models, said, "But... even if we face the worst, I have the ability to take you away."

Having survived alongside the indescribable high-ranking being called the "Wolf King," Amanesis was accustomed to forbearance, dodging, and hiding in dark corners. He never did anything without certainty.

He has good intentions to protect the human tribe, but when the crisis is beyond his expectations or control, he can also abandon this good intention.

Amanesis did not hide anything in front of Hermione, and His attitude was very clear.

Hermione was unsure what choice she would make when faced with the choice between the survival of the tribe and her own safety.

This hesitation is not only due to the not-so-strong Madonna complex in my heart, but more because of my unwillingness to accept my own weakness and my anger at oppression.

If that ever happens... I'll probably try to connect to the dangerous and unknown "Sea of Chaos"...

Hermione did not actively use "psychological suggestion" to relieve these extreme thoughts that arose in her mind, but instead used her "observation" ability to analyze her personal spiritual background more deeply.

She now even has the ability to change her own personality and self-awareness.

But just as using extraordinary abilities to peer deeply into the hearts of others can lead to madness, this method will also accelerate the loss of her humanity.

What's worse, some people will unconsciously tend to become the consciousness and cognition of the dragon or "mentor" left over from the extraordinary characteristics of the "manipulator".

Hermione knew that "maintaining one's self" was a rare and arduous task for all Beyonders in the mysterious world, from low-sequence beings to pillars above the gods, so she naturally wouldn't risk her own life in scientific research.

What we need to consider now is how to "entertain" the gods from the giants——

While praying that the other party maintains that "goodwill", one must also think about how to deal with the malice that these powerful people may reveal.

"Where are you going?" Amanesis asked when he saw Hermione taking her coat.

Before Hermione's figure disappeared, intending to use the nearby dream to flash a short distance, she left behind a faint voice: "Go sit with Severus."

After Hermione disappeared, Amanesis removed the mold of a statue in front of him that was carved with the holy image of Hermione. His fingertips, as smooth as jade, gently stroked the wood carving, stroking Hermione's cheeks and body parts on the statue.

The beautifully carved holy robe crumbled inch by inch under His finger... The figure beneath the garment was re-carved by Him: "In this difficult world, how far can you go?"

A polite knock sounded softly at the door of Severus's drab and deserted home.

Oseicus, who had not yet left, lifted the heavy curtain and pushed open the creaking wooden door. Seeing Hermione outside, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly and said, "Praise my Lord."

Smiling like this, he immediately made way to the inside.

　When I'm with Amanesis, I usually use "she" rather than "he" to refer to Hermione, who has reached Sequence 4. This isn't a typo, but a deliberate distinction.
