Chapter 117: Ourabos
"Who chained Bragun?! Bragun will smash you! Bragun will tear you apart! Bragun will...!"
Bragun’s expressions twisted into something strange and savage. They were no longer the calm and composed expressions he had before. Instead, his expressions and behavior had become just like the giant Ang whom Rios encountered only one week after awakening in this world... or like the other giants wandering outside.
But before Bragun could continue shouting...
"Shut up, you filthy **Chaos Abomination**!"
**Bam!**
Rodak slapped him with tremendous force, causing blood to gush from Bragun’s nose.
Yet he didn’t stop and immediately resumed shouting, even louder than before...
"Bragun will tear every piece of your body apart! Bragun will erase you from existence! Bragun will..."
Bragun kept shouting until Magnus finally grew tired of it. He grabbed a thick tree trunk and stuffed it into Bragun’s mouth!
"Mmmmmm! Mmmmmm!"
"That’s much better now." Magnus dusted off his hands with a grin before looking toward the black dragon phantom.
The phantom gradually split apart until there were two of them!
One part returned to Bragun and possessed him once again, while the other shot toward the little giant!
Grimar finally lifted his foot from the little giant’s head and nodded to the other Giant Kings, signaling them to remove Bragun’s restraints!
"Mmmmmm! Mmmmmm!"
"You bastard! What the hell did you shove into my mouth?" The moment Bragun was freed, he grabbed Magnus by the neck and spoke as pieces of the tree trunk flew out of his mouth.
"You were being too annoying with all that yelling, so I figured I should help you a little so you wouldn’t ruin the Lord’s ritual." Magnus scratched his ear with his little finger and smiled provocatively at Bragun.
Although Bragun was stronger than him, Bragun had never backed down from a challenge.
"Enough!" The twenty-meter-tall little giant stood up and ordered the two to stop before turning toward Grimar. "Bring them out."
Grimar nodded, took out a black wooden box, and opened it.
Dozens of monster **cores** emerged from the box, every single one of them belonging to **Level Three**.
The little giant greedily devoured the **cores**, and with every **core** he swallowed, his body continued to grow meter after meter until he finally reached thirty meters tall... the absolute limit of **Level Three**. Yet the giant did not stop devouring them.
The gray giant continued swallowing monster **cores** until there were none left. Then he looked at Grimar with bloodlust filling his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Bring out those things!"
Hearing that, Grimar frowned slightly, but eventually let out a sigh and took out another black box... This time, however, the **cores** inside were much larger!
"Are you planning to become that thing?!" When the other five Giant Kings saw those **cores**, their eyes widened in horror. Bragun immediately shouted at the gray giant, "Becoming that thing is an enormous gamble! Out of every hundred Giant Emperors, only one succeeds! We’re not desperate enough to take such a risk."
The gray giant sneered at Bragun and shook his head. "No. By devouring all of these giant **cores**, I must become a Titan as soon as possible. The Lord has just given me new orders. Too many things have changed from the original plan, and we have to move as quickly as possible. Otherwise, that damned spirit may truly seize control of the continent. And don’t worry. The Lord will manipulate the laws to ensure my success!"
After saying that, before anyone could respond, the gray giant immediately began devouring the giant **cores**!
High in the sky, thousands of kilometers above the Cave of the Giant Kings.
Space rippled as the golden girl emerged, panic written all over her face!
"What are you doing?! What in the name of Hell’s Creator are you doing?!" The golden girl looked at the gray giant devouring the giant **cores** and muttered softly. But in the end, she could no longer remain calm. Panic completely overwhelmed her as she screamed, "Do you have any idea what will happen if that **Chaos Abomination** becomes a Titan?!" She turned behind her as space rippled once again and the black phantom emerged. She glared at him with killing intent filling her eyes. "If that damned **Chaos Abomination** becomes a Titan and continues growing, neither you nor I will be able to stop him in your current state. Forget this continent... you can completely forget about ever obtaining me!"
Faced with the golden girl’s furious shouting, the black phantom merely smiled mockingly and tilted his head. "Then why don’t you simply surrender to me? Everything would end immediately. I’d even help you develop your resources far beyond what you imagine."
"How many times do I have to tell you? You still haven’t fulfilled my conditions, and I will never acknowledge you unless every single one of them is fulfilled without a single exception!" the golden girl shouted, wishing she could tear the black phantom’s throat apart at that very moment.
"Come now, **Ourabos**. I’ve already fulfilled two of your conditions. Only one remains. So why not change the last one to eliminating that giant before he becomes a Titan? We’d both come out ahead." A hideous mouth filled with razor-sharp fangs and disgusting saliva appeared on the black phantom’s face as he flashed **Ourabos** an unbearably ugly and provoking grin. "Or... if you truly can’t stand my existence that much, then why don’t you simply release me and let each of us go our separate way?"
Ourabos narrowed her eyes at the suggestion and replied in a cold voice filled with hatred, "Release you so you can wreak havoc across my surface after I rejected and imprisoned you for all these years? Do you take me for a fool?!"
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"
The black phantom wagged his index finger from side to side and sneered...
"No, no, my dear. You’re not imprisoning me because you’re afraid I’ll wreak havoc on your surface. You’re imprisoning me because you want to steal even more of my Blood Essence and the runes of my **Primordial Order Law** so you can continue evolving yourself!" His expression became even uglier as his mocking smile vanished. "Besides, you’re right. You’re no fool. No fool could have reduced me to such a miserable state. But that’s fine... this farce is about to come to an end."
