Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 38: Some people are high above others and some girls are surrounding them
"The 'Forest of Decay' is said to be the origin of the giant race. It is the burial place of the king's deceased parents and is also the most heavily guarded forbidden area of the Giant King's court."

"Forbidden land... is it strictly forbidden for other giants to enter?"

"It seems so." Severus was also a little uncertain and said, "I've heard rumors that even if a giant wants to worship this pair of ancestors, they can only do so from a distance outside the Forest of Decay."

Hermione nodded and asked no further questions.

Then, His figure disappeared directly from in front of Severus.

Oseicus then spoke up, "Grandfather, are you no longer worried that Councillor Hermione might offend the gods from the giant tribe?"

"After gaining divinity, this person seems to have changed." Severus leaned back in his chair, holding the wine glass, took a sip, and squinted his gloomy eyes in enjoyment:

"I'm not bent on being a traitor. As long as First Councillor Hermione doesn't become arrogant enough to rebel against the giants and maintains her reverence for the gods, that's all that matters..."

Severus sighed softly: "...That's good."

Upon hearing this, Osaykus' smile grew even brighter. "What about me, Grandfather? Should I continue on the path you've set for me?"

Severus' slightly cloudy eyes moved away from the equally cloudy wine glass and looked at Osaykus' handsome and sunny face: "I am really old, Osaykus, just do what you think."

"Yes, Grandfather." Osaycus leaned forward.

……

"Have you finished consulting with the giant expert in the tribe?" Amanesis, who was wearing a simple black dress, flipped through the completed human language slate and chuckled at Hermione who had returned from someone else's dream.

"Hmm." Hermione glanced at the bedroom where the original human language stone slabs were placed. She noticed that one of the sculpture molds was missing from the corner. She didn't care much about it and said, "Discarding Severus's overly conservative ideas, he can confirm a lot of things."

"Confirm?" Amanissis looked up.

"I've heard some rumors about giants from other places." Hermione nodded and smiled. "Have you heard the rumor that 'humans are the source of the pan-human race'?"

Amanesis shook his head and said, "I've never heard of that."

Hermione whispered, "It's rumored that the 'Decayed Forest' hides the remains of the Giant King's parents, and those remains are human."

Amanesis's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this. After a while, he smiled and said, "Did you confirm this rumor from Severus?"

Hermione smiled and said, "Of course he doesn't know, and I haven't mentioned this rumor to him. Severus only heard that the 'Decayed Forest' is a forbidden place for giants."

At this point, Hermione paused. "If a giant spirit wants to eat me, I'll reveal to it that the ancestor buried in the Decaying Forest is human. What do you say?"

Amanesis couldn't help but laugh. "Not so good... They don't believe it. These words are the strongest mockery in their ears. If they believed it, their king would come to you."

"Yes, so you can't say such things unless you have no other choice." Hermione looked disappointed.

Amanesis was at a loss for words: "Are you really thinking of using this rumor to negotiate with them?"

"Have you ever had any contact with the Giant Queen?" Hermione asked.

"'Harvest Goddess' Omibella... You don't have to be so cautious. Among the eight 'Kings', except for the Psychic Dragon and certain individuals who have devoured dragons, calling their names won't attract their attention."

Amanesis first gave some explanation before continuing:
"I haven't actually come into contact with them. Without assurance, I won't take the initiative to meet with Subordinate Gods of other races. And it's difficult for other Subordinate Gods to detect my presence."

"It's remarkable how secretive you are," Hermione thought to herself.

Amanesis continued, "Are you prepared to negotiate with the two Giant Gods?" Hermione nodded and smiled, "At least they can communicate, right?"

……

On the seventh day after the New Year celebrations ended, small statues of Hermione's holy image and parchment scrolls inscribed with human language were being produced and distributed in an orderly manner.

Hermione, wearing a not-too-thick pure white robe, was waiting quietly in the square.

A little further away, Oseicus chanted a ballad-like hymn, which was a corresponding hymn composed by Severus for each giant god.

At this time, in the hymn to the "Harvest Goddess" Omibella, the frozen ground turned into soft soil, and the dead trees in winter sprouted green branches and leaves.

Tiny dolls emerged from the bricks, plants, and soil, shouting "Goddess of Harvest."

Amidst Osekus's high-pitched chant and the puppets' cheers, a female giant wearing leather armor on her upper body and a long skirt faintly appeared in the harvest scene.

His face had soft lines, and his single, upright eye gazed at the crowd in the square. His long, dark brown hair reached down to his vest.

And with the sound of hymns belonging to Badhair, the "God of Dawn", the entire square turned from bright daylight to dim light.

A tall, corrupt giant slowly emerged from the twisted shadows. Every time his figure rose from the shadows, his appearance became younger.

When His majestic body was completely standing on the ground, His armor emitted a bright light, and the center of His eyes flickered with the faint light of dawn.

Hermione knew that the two giant gods were just showing off, but their ability was perfect for creating an atmosphere. She glanced at Amanesis, who was standing in the crowd surrounded by several tribal girls.

Hmm... Amanisis would never be so high-profile, but why is he so popular with girls?

These girls are blind, they always want to be around Him.

Especially the little girl named Selena.

Tsk.

The path taken is still the "Sleepless" path.

When Hermione thought about the Fifth Age, the key holy object in the initial plot of her brother Zhou Mingrui's story was "Saint Selena's Ashes". She wondered if it had anything to do with this child.

After walking around the gods, Hermione turned her gaze back to the subordinate gods of the giants when she heard Othecus's chanting stop.

The appearances they revealed were obviously not those of true mythical creatures, and all the mysterious symbols that were beyond the human spirit's endurance disappeared and converged.

Even its size was reduced to four meters in height, just enough to fit into the tribe's meeting hall.

At this time, the other council members were evacuating the crowd and restoring normal order. Only Hermione stayed in the council hall to receive the giant mother and son, Omybella and Badhair, alone.

This was Hermione's request, and now no one in the tribe would disobey her.

The "God of Dawn" sat with a cold expression on the huge stone chair specially carved by the tribe's humans. In his heart, this human woman was not qualified to sit opposite him.

The "Harvest Goddess" Omibella's attitude was more gentle. She looked around curiously and spoke in a soft and moving voice:

"First Councillor Hermione, congratulations on becoming humanity's first demigod."
