Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 76 The beginning of growth

A remote corner of the giant kingdom.

In the continuous drizzle, a Cyclops fled in panic.

But in the next second, His legs were severed by a transparent and invisible force.

As blood splattered, the huge body fell heavily to the ground.

His single eye was filled with madness and terror, and he even temporarily ignored the pain.

He wielded a massive broadsword, brandishing it and roaring in giant tones: "I am a giant! We are noble giants! Those humans are nothing but a bunch of lowly slaves!"

The tall figure of "Light Killer" Milgungen smashed through the rain curtain. As he stared, the arms of the Cyclops that fell to the ground were torn into pieces by the invisible blade.

The minced meat flowed to the low-lying areas with the rain.

Completely losing the ability to resist, the Cyclops looked up at the Silver-Armored Giant with difficulty, gasping in pain, "Milgungen..."

Facing death, His voice softened, rain trickled down His gray-blue cheeks as He pleaded, "Let me go... Please, let me go."

In the rain, Milgungen wordlessly picked up the giant's fallen broadsword. He walked up to the giant and raised the weapon that belonged to the warrior before him, whispering, "For the survival of our people..."

The giant blade mercilessly cut off the head of the giant who begged for mercy.

Milgungan was guarding the body.

Not long after, a girl in a black nun's uniform arrived in a carriage. The black nun's uniform had an orange-red pattern that looked like a sunset.

The girl in the carriage was holding up a half-human-high statue in her hands.

That is the statue of the "Lord of Dusk".

The eyes of the statue seem to have spirituality.

Milgungen quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Praise the goddess."

He picked up the extraordinary characteristics condensed from the Cyclops' corpse, bent down, and handed it to the girl in black nun's clothes in the carriage.

The nun in the carriage prayed devoutly: "Lord of Dusk, who is older than eternity, you are the symbol of power and glory, and the queen of misfortune and fear... I pray that you will purify the extraordinary characteristics before me."

Clusters of Beyonder Characteristics split apart as Selina prayed.

When the prayer ended, Selina skillfully placed these extraordinary characteristics in various specially designed secret compartments in the carriage.

After doing this, she looked indifferently at the silver-armored giant outside the carriage, shrouded in the rain, and said, "'Light Killer,' you have done well... Do not let down this title that the goddess reserved for you. It is your honor, and also the goddess' mercy to the giants."

Milgungen kept his head down until the carriage drove away.

Although he was a giant second only to the gods, the girl had not even set foot in the realm of demigods.

But when facing those girls who could pray for the attention of the "Lord of Dusk", He had to bow His head, especially the girl named Selina, who did not hide her hatred for the giants at all.

Ever since the war with the non-human races devolved into small-scale skirmishes, a self-purification campaign had begun within the giant race. Powerful giants like him, who had completely devoted themselves to the twin human gods, the Sun God and the Lord of Dusk, began following the oracle of those special girls, slaying those giants who had previously committed evil and cannibalism and had been passive on the battlefield, reclaiming the remaining characteristics of those giants.

Milgungen was clearly aware that with the spread of the names of the two gods of mankind, the glory of the giants had disappeared. Only by completely integrating into the order customized by humans could the continuation of the giants' bloodline be preserved.

"May the goddess protect you..." With a sigh, Milgungen used the broadsword in his hand to dig a grave in the ground and buried the giant's corpse.

……

On the ruins of the Giant King's Court, the majestic Temple of the Sun stands next to the Temple of Dusk in eternal orange light. These two spectacular buildings facing each other gather the faith of all humans and giants today.

An inconspicuous ossuary church sits between the two.

Every day, different Beyonder qualities were delivered here and stored in separate compartments. The powerful aura of the "Lord of Dusk" rendered these Beyonder qualities inactive, waiting to be made into potions or other magical items...

Ouroboros stayed in this church of bones for a long time. Unlike his tribesmen who converted to the "Sun God" or the "Lord of Dusk", he chose to become a priest serving the "Humanistic Sage".

It is his duty to guard this church of corpses.

This ossuary not only contains extraordinary characteristics, but also many stone slabs, some of which are original stone slabs in the human language. In addition, there are eight new large stone slabs.

These new slates record the potion formulas and corresponding rituals for paths from sequence nine to sequence four, such as "Dreamer", "Hanged Man", "Sun", "Error", "Dusk", "Darkness", "Mother", and "Moon".

Ouroboros will distribute these potion formulas and materials to the corresponding meritorious individuals according to the merit system established by the council headed by the "Humanistic Sage".

"Give me a copy of the Beyonder's special properties, the corresponding potion formula, and the promotion ceremony." A handsome blond man came to Ouroboros with a sunny smile.

Ouroboros silently deducted the merit points accumulated in Osaykus' name, copied the formula and ritual of "No Darkness" onto parchment, then turned around to find the Beyonder characteristics of the glowing ball and handed them to him.

Osaykus watched the silver-haired boy's methodical movements.

After he took these things, he was not in a hurry to leave. He smiled at Ouroboros, who had grown taller, and said:

"That guy Leodro, without even having the potion formula, actually forced himself to consume the Beyonder characteristics of the Sequence 4 'Disaster Priest', and he even succeeded..."

"You don't plan to change your path. Are you planning to follow Leodro's example? I heard that the Human Sage obtained a Beyonder characteristic from the elves, which is from the Monster Path."

Ouroboros remained calm and said, "I will follow the guidance of luck and wait for the right time. Sister Hermione will protect me."

Although he was clearly a priest of the "humanistic sage", he was a rare person who retained this human title, and even Osaycus sometimes had difficulty telling whether Ouroboros was truly pious.

"Then I wish you good luck." Oseycus received the formula and characteristics, a sunny smile on his face, and turned to leave.

With his silver hair hanging down, Ouroboros nodded, closed his eyes, and continued to pray devoutly.

In the Dusk Temple, Hermione, dressed in a two-color archbishop's robe, floated beside the illusory body of Amanesis and said with a smile:
"It was originally just a test, but I didn't expect the elves to actually be willing to erect statues of the Twin Gods and spread their faith. It seems returning home has become an obsession for those ancient elves."

Amanesis's gentle and helpless voice came: "At that time, I almost thought you were going to be beaten."
