Chapter 615 Aiwass: I'm back!
In the era when people were still afraid of giants, most humans would reverently and fearfully call giants "giants".
Because they are so terrifying - they are often four or five meters tall, with rock-hard bodies full of muscles, and they are well-armed and full of vitality.
Even if the few extraordinary people among humans fight against them, they often need a number difference of more than ten times to barely win a miserable victory.
If several giants gather together, an army of more than a thousand people will be needed to defeat them.
——Without a doubt, that is God.
When the gods are enraged, humans have no recourse; to appease their wrath, they can only sacrifice their own kind and beg for forgiveness. Even if they manage to pull off the feat of "slaying a god," they will soon be attacked by other giant gods—perhaps even angels from the dream world, immortal and invincible, with unparalleled power.
From the very beginning, the two races were not equal.
Even an empire as powerful as the Hellasir Empire did not dare to directly challenge the island of Avalon, which was less than one-tenth of the empire's area. Just as humans feared the Theocracy, they also feared Avalon.
If someone was captured by giants while going out to sea, it could only be considered a death from natural disaster; if dozens or hundreds of giants formed a fleet and went to the empire's territory to capture slaves to supplement the labor force lacking due to excessive consumption, the Helasar Empire could only express condemnation and evacuate important populations in advance.
It is also for this reason that important cities in the imperial era were not built in coastal areas - according to normal business thinking, coastal cities are definitely the most suitable for developing commerce and culture.
In fact, that was also the heyday of the empire. They were even able to dispatch a legion of over ten thousand Transcendents. It was certainly not because they couldn't defeat the giants... but because they didn't dare to anger the Kingdom of Alctors behind them.
In other words, they did not dare to offend the Pillar God Supreme and his apostles behind the Kingdom of Alctors.
Under such circumstances, the top leaders of the Hellas Empire could only convey the "Giant God View" to people.
In other words: those giants are gods walking on the earth.
Therefore, if a person is attacked by a god, it means that their actions have angered the god. This cannot be attributed to the Empire's poor protection, nor can it be the Empire's responsibility - after all, the Empire cannot be expected to challenge the gods in order to protect its people who have angered them, right?
——And this kind of thinking has persisted for hundreds of years. Education has made it deeply rooted in the hearts of every empire's people.
Today, giants no longer need to go to Hellasir to kidnap slaves.
Because the villages always delivered the sacrifices on time, they only needed to set sail at regular intervals to take them away.
As the empire's economy and population grew, the number of sacrifices actually increased. The giants had a poor reproductive capacity, and their population grew slowly. They couldn't eat so many humans at once, so many were released into the open within Avalon, becoming one "village under the rule of a giant lord" after another.
Eventually, the number of humans in Avalon surpassed the number of giants by several times. And as the giants regularly traveled to the empire, they would bring back more and more humans.
These captured humans were raised by the giants like livestock... and with no giants guarding them, very few of them escaped.
On the one hand, it is because of their fear of the giants, and on the other hand, it is because of their hatred for their own kind.
The humans sent aboard the black ships were sacrificed by their own kind. Even if they were lucky enough not to be devoured immediately, they had not forgotten the day they were betrayed by their homeland. They no longer trusted humans and dared not rebel against the Titans.
They have become homeless and can only live in confusion on this island, waiting for their death.
——Like a lamb being fed, waiting for the day when it will be served on the table.
And today.
This fear collapsed -
As Aiwass marched forward in the rain like an angel of judgment, the pure white Pegasus spread its white wings. But now, it was stained red with blood, a symbol of revenge.
The blood rain splashed on the earth.
Those giants howled miserably in the blood rain that was like a punishment from heaven, and melted into skeletons. They could not be called sacred, nor were they invincible.
This had a huge impact on people.
"……Um?"
At this moment, Aiwass, who was flying in the sky, suddenly saw a building, and he suddenly stopped in the air.
It was a pyramid-like tetrahedral stone building in the wilderness.
It is different from the empty square architectural style of the Temple of the Supreme Heaven, which is composed of stone pillars.
Its shape gave Aiwass a sense of disobedience and familiarity...
"...Vignes."
Aiwass suddenly said: "Are you familiar with it?"
"My dear master...are you serious?"
Vignes asked back in a strange tone.
At this moment, a strange wave came from the huge stone hall.
Aiwass's transformed right eye could clearly see its traces—golden ripples, spreading out in all directions like water waves. When they touched Aiwass, they bounced back, allowing Aiwass to resonate with the inside.
That is not the glory of the path of "power".
——But it is the glory from the path of dedication that Aiwas is very familiar with!
"Wait, this can't be..."
Ai Hua reacted immediately.
He immediately dived down, calling out Night Demon's name: "Venes, prepare to fight!"
Vines arrived first after starting later, turning into a meteor with dark purple electric light, and directly smashed the stone door!
And Aiwass rushed in right after Vinnies.
When he walked in, the extremely familiar scenery around him even made Aiwass tremble uncontrollably.
It wasn't fear, it was excitement!
He was finally able to confirm that it wasn't just his illusion.
"...This is the temple of the Candle Apostle Carstenning!"
This is also the venue for Aiwas's first promotion ceremony in the Path of Transcendence!
At that time, Night Stalker was still Shadow Fiend, and it was their first time working together in a dream.
Aiwass showed his desire for transcendence to Little Patton, and used his holy spear to smash the magic cauldron made of the souls of many innocent people, which could bring people back to life!
The further Aiwas flew inside, the more familiar it felt.
The wide corridor allowed Aiwas, who was now two meters and five meters tall, to move freely even on a Pegasus - it was originally a corridor that accommodated the nearly twenty-meter-tall apostle Carstenning.
And now, its owner is...
Aiwass squeezed out of the dim and wide corridor and rushed into the room where the giant's roar came from.
That is the hall where the magic cauldron is placed.
What comes into view is an old giant who is thirteen meters tall even though he is hunched over.
He has a waterfall-like brown-red beard and red bear hair all over his body.
He was staring with his huge eyes - although his eyelids were loose and drooping due to old age, like two thick curtains, but because of extreme anger, he actually opened his eyes, which was a rare occurrence!
This is exactly Aspavarton who almost killed Aiwas before!
Aspavarton could easily crush Aiwass to death like crushing a mosquito!
"—Aspavaldon!"
Everston felt that his mind was clear and his thoughts were insightful.
He roared loudly: "I'm here to settle the score with you!"
