Chapter 323: 323
[Little child, who are you?]
Three of the countless arms that stretched out from the gods were holding me, Yoo Jonghyuk and Kim Namwoon . I hung in the air and stared at the giant with disbelieving eyes .
The door opened so easily? I couldn't understand it . The door that sealed the place below the 77th floor originally couldn't be opened from the inside . It was the same in the 47th round and the 211th round . That's why I prepared the offering in advance . . .
[Um . . . the probability is difficult . It's getting worse these days . ]
There was a sound and sparks of probability appeared around the bodies of the giants . The giant pulled off one of its fingers and threw it at the door . The sparks rushed like they had been waiting and melted away the finger . Then the sparks slowly faded away . It was an unbelievable sight .
The probability was replaced with one finger? Such a thing wasn't possible in any of Yoo Jonghyuk's rounds . An aura rose faintly from the giant's body . The depths were hidden by an enormous 'status' that was unfathomable was sleeping inside the giant .
One of the oldest existences in the world . Myths accumulated over the years . My heart trembled just counting the years on the surface . This was a titan . It was unmistakably a titan . The myths that stirred in the giant's body were worn but still alive . It was much different from the original novel I knew .
「 The energies of the ancient giant that Yoo Jonghyuk met was on the verge of death . 」
It was strange . All the giants relied on the giant stories of Titanomachy and Gigantomachia . As the influence of the myth weakened or the distortion of the traditions grew, their power weakened as well . Due to the habitual event of Olympus, their giant stories should've been considerably weakened by now .
[Boy, aren't you going to answer? I am confident in waiting because my patience is as deep as the sea . I have already been waiting a long time but there is no reason I can't wait longer . ]
However, there was an unbelievable vitality coming from the giant in front of me . Thoughts passed through my head .
「 Maybe it is because I came to the Underworld too early? 」
Gigantomachia hadn't happened yet and perhaps the decline of the giants hadn't exceeded the threshold .
The giant continued speaking . [However . . . I don't know if my other friends will be the same . It has been a while since children as delicious as you entered . ]
Kim Namwoon was shaking and didn't even think of answering . The giant stroked Kim Namwoon's cheek like he was cute .
[You are a child with deep sin . A child like you is delicious to eat . The body of a giant soldier itself . . . were you the one torn last time?]
The prisoners who crashed underground while trying to escape Tartarus were usually fed to the giants . Kim Namwoon struggled and would already be foaming at the mouth if he was human .
The giant's gaze turned to me again . [You have many good smells . A constellation, angel, demon, human . . . there is even an outer god . What type of stories are these?]
I didn't answer . Sometimes this was a clearer answer than words . The opponent might be an ancient god but I couldn't be intimidated from the start .
[The status of a 'demon king' is released!]
I emerged from the grip of the giant and the giant's appearance became clearer . The size of the giant was beyond my imagination . It was almost 100 metres in height . . . in the first place, I couldn't fight this existence .
[I'm going to eat this child . ]
[Let's tear him in half . ]
Voices came from all over the place . I opened my mouth and gave a cold warning . "We aren't prey . "
"We have come to negotiate . " Yoo Jonghyuk also contributed .
Yoo Jonghyuk released his transcendence and also escaped the giant's hand . However, the giant replied in an unconcerned manner . [It isn't your decision . ]
I knew it would be like this . The destruction of the giants ultimately derived from this arrogance .
I used my true voice without further delay . [It is nice to meet you . The great 'Hundred-Handers, the three Hecatoncheires brothers . ]
At my words, 300 eyes simultaneously opened in the darkness . These eyes belonged to only three giants .
The three giants spoke at the same time .
[Interesting . You came here knowing about us?]
50 heads and 100 arms, the Hundred-Handers . I knew the names of these titans .
The strongest storm, Briareus .
The rushing stone, Cottus .
The changing limbs, Gyges
They were living myths who had experienced both Titanomachy and Gigantomachia . All the stories of Olympus were accumulated in their bodies . If they were 'books', I felt like I could sit here for decades reading them .
[The Fourth Wall is greedy for the taste . ]
Perhaps this was a myth . The oldest story in the world . Things that had been passed down to mortals and finally formed a worldview .
The appearance of the three gods was the same but their eyes were different colours . Briareus had blue eyes, Cottus had brown eyes and Gyges had green eyes . I gazed at the hundreds of eyes and opened my mouth again .
[I have come to liberate all the giants from Tartarus . ]
My true voice echoed and spread . Perhaps it was enough to be heard by all of Tartarus, not just the Hecatoncheires . In the darkness, the sound of some giants moving their bodies was heard . However, nobody opened their mouths .
It was because the titans in front of us didn't say anything . The reactions of the Hecatoncheires to my words were different . Cottus was grumpy while Gyges looked tired . Only Briareus was different .
[What a funny joke . I want to eat you even more . ]
I didn't back down despite the intimidating threat and smiled . "As you can see, I'm too small for you to taste . You will have to eat more than me . "
