Chapter 78: The Giant God Moves Without Striking, the Order Gods Are the True Force Against Chaos!
“Is this the so-called savior?”
“How ridiculous!”
…
In the tsunami and huge flood, a voice suddenly spoke out, making things worse.
When this voice sounded, everyone went quiet.
Both the strong believers in “Holy Light from the Sun” and the light ones who thought, “It’s free, so why not believe a little,” stared angrily. But many others looked confused.
A few seemed thoughtful.
Seeing supporters in the crowd, the speaker got more excited.
“Fellow villagers, we went through great hardship to come back to our homeland, and here, we built our streets and towns with hard work!”
“But now, it’s turned into ruins for no reason!”
“This is unfair!”
Since the people survived the “Time of the End,” rebuilding was the next step.
Before, the Chaotic Forces had taken over the land across the sea, so many refugees chose to go home after the war. But because of the bad chaos corruption, the “Holy Light from the Sun” Church, the group that worships the “Giant God,” warned some against returning.
Yet, some ignored the warning and went home anyway.
Soon after they stepped onto the burned land full of chaos corruption, the “Giant God” sent disaster on them!
Some seemed to use the refugees’ anger to reach their own ends.
“I say this Giant God is a fake!”
“We can’t trust…”
The stirring speech went on.
Finally, a member of the “Holy Light from the Sun” clergy couldn’t stay silent.
“What nonsense are you saying!?”
“Didn’t the great ‘Giant God’ give us the Solar Holy Light system? He came down to the world with the mortal fleet to beat the chaos deity when the gods were betrayed and about to lose!”
“If He isn’t the savior, who is?”
The “independent thinker” shot back: “Hah, if He’s really the savior, why didn’t He come at the start? Instead, He waited till the Traitors attacked and most gods fell before showing up!?”
“I see Him as moving without striking, saving His strength, and stepping in late to take the win!”
“After so many months, who remembers that the Order Gods gave themselves to fight chaos, making a chance for that so-called ‘Giant God’!?”
“They are the real force against chaos!”
“Look what He’s doing: Purification Agency folks are everywhere, Purity Officers watch us all the time—do we have any freedom left!?”
“Worse, the so-called ‘Holy Light from the Sun’ people try hard to stop us refugees from going home!”
“I say this so-called ‘Giant God’ is just another chaos! He’s a tyrant! He wants to enslave us!”
“We won’t take it! We…”
Although the speech was lively, some veterans in the crowd looked at the speaker with disgust.
Anyone who had seen the Giant God slay chaos and the failures of the Order-side gods would never say such stupid things.
But those who witnessed it all firsthand were few; among these refugees, there were even fewer!
More and more refugees began to doubt.
“Did what he say make sense?”
“I’m not sure…”
“Let’s hear what else he has to say…”
Seeing the doubt on the people’s faces, the arrogant speaker showed a sly smile.
“Humans!”
“What a bunch of weak, foolish creatures who only follow blindly.”
“Watch me trick them…”
“Huh!?”
Just as the "speaker" was feeling proud…
“Click—!”
A revolver pressed against the speaker’s forehead.
“Hey, you done talking! You worm in the gutter.”
“I could smell your stink from far away!”
The crowd panicked and scattered.
Soldiers with guns surrounded the spot, then several tall knights in heavy armor, wielding great swords and wearing gray cloaks, pushed through the crowd and circled the "speaker."
Aiming the gun at him was a tall woman in a high hat, powered high heels, and with a rapier.
“It’s a Purity Officer! She’s with the Sun Guard!”
“Oh no! And Ashen Knights!”
“What are they up to?”
“Could it be…”
Wherever Purity Officers and Ashen Knights went, blood flowed like rivers and skull displays rose high.
After the war, the Purification Agency settled scores with the churches of the gods.
Many famous families vanished overnight.
They only killed Chaos followers or traitors working with chaos, but their bloody reputation spread anyway.
Then, the speaker puffed out his chest and lifted his head, acting like he was ready to die a hero.
“You can kill me! But you can’t wipe out justice or our fight for freedom!”
But the Purity Officer just gave a scornful smile.
“Heh, you must be new around here.”
“You probably didn’t know, but the Giant God granted us the power to restrain demons and reveal your masks, right?”
“Really, demons were getting worse with each generation. They didn’t even bother with basic investigations and recklessly jumped into action?”
As she spoke, the Purity Officer raised her gun.
“Bang—!”
A bullet fired from the barrel and exploded above the crowd.
“Boom—!”
A dazzling golden light erupted!
Most of the refugees closed their eyes because the light was too bright, but they still felt warmth and life from it.
Except for one…
“Ahhhhhh—!”
The man who kept talking about freedom and said the Giant God wanted to enslave him let out a painful scream.
His human skin slowly melted away, showing the demon’s twisted, sulfur-smelling body.
“Ah! This guy was a demon!”
“This was scary; a demon was right beside me!”
“Why do I have horns on my head? The demon is me!?”
The Ashen Knights didn’t wait; they rushed forward, and the leading knight quickly cut off the demon’s head, while the others grabbed the refugees with horns who had changed.
“This was a sign of chaos corruption, take them now! Help them!”
“And…”
The attractive Purity Officer turned to the shocked crowd.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Sylvia, a chosen knight and Purity Officer.”
“Actually, I didn’t come just to kill demons, but to take you back.”
“This land might have earthquakes and huge waves for a long time because the Giant God is doing something amazing that’s never been done before!”
“You can choose three to five people to come with me on the warship and see this great work!”
————
The “Son of the Giant God” was a newly built huge ship, about the same size as the “Giant God’s Radiance.”
This big ship also copied the Giant God’s first shape and was made completely from the Giant God’s “divine shedding”; it could move in many ways, almost like a living thing.
Now, the Judgment Knight Sylvia, the elected representatives, and the ship’s new captain, the Saltwater Queen, Albert Drake, were looking at the Giant God’s wonderful “masterpiece.”
“Oh my…”
“What is this…”
As the representatives gasped in awe, and the Ashen Knights and Solar Knights prayed quietly, the over two-hundred-meter-long ship, “Son of the Giant God,” slowly sailed into a giant hole on the Continental Shelf.
That hole was huge!
Its width might have been close to five hundred meters, big enough for several large warships to go in and out safely.
The tunnel stretched endlessly, yet wasn’t dark. Giant God’s "divine scales" clung to the ceiling and walls at intervals, glowing like everlasting lamps that cast a reassuring, bright light.
The tunnel was already filled with copious amounts of "seawater."
"In fact, this isn’t seawater; it’s ‘etheric liquid’!"
"The ‘Son of the Giant God’ is entirely forged from ‘Giant God’s Shedding,’ so there’s no need to fear any ‘restoration force’!"
"The etheric liquid won’t flow back into the sea either. This place functions as a ‘City of Dimensions’ crafted by the Giant God, shielded by His decreed rules and invisible ‘Crystal Walls’!"
"The ‘Primal Mud’ forming the ‘City of Dimensions’ walls has also been fully transformed by these rules, becoming the boundary of this special ‘world’."
Albert Drake explained while piloting the "Son of the Giant God" forward.
…
Hours passed. The colossal ship had traveled hundreds of kilometers.
After the initial excitement faded, many passengers grew weary.
"Buzzing…"
Only the relentless roar of the magical engine reminded them to stay quiet!
By now, they neared the tunnel’s end—where the "walls" seemed unstable, not yet fully transformed by the rules.
This gave detestable monsters an opening!
"Bang—!"
The City of Dimensions’ wall shattered violently!
An enormous monster burst through.
The creature possessed a long, sinuous body, fish-like fins, and was armored in tough scales.
"Roar—!"
It unleashed a furious, hungry bellow within the etheric liquid and lunged at the "sightseeing ship"!
"Ah—!"
"Help!"
Not everyone remained as composed as Albert Drake and the Ashen Knights.
Civilian representatives wailed in terror.
Some more worldly representatives, versed in "Outer Godology" and "Demonology," shrieked in despair: "It’s an etheric serpent!"
"We’re doomed!"
"These vicious beasts even hunt weak Outer Gods!"
Chaos erupted instantly on the ship!
But then…
"Boom—!"
An even greater noise shattered the tumult!
