×Chapter 12×Pitiful First Giant King

~~~~

Mars in the forest after killing a multitude of beast started his collection, as he finished picking up the cores all his lost energy had recovered so he decided to start again, he was in true harvesting mode.

His silhouette disappeared and reappeared throughout the forest like a ghost or reaper, making the roars and howls of beast echo out filling the air with blood and desperation.

Beast after beast he vanquished in both hot and cold blood, soon he had killed over 10,000 more of grade one to three as easily as breathing.

Now he could be seen resting by a tree standing, his back propped on it and him just licking the blood from his finger as a curious light glowed in his eyes.

."It actually taste better than I thought, or is it just me, would mortals enjoy the raw blood of beast?."Mars asked himself as he looked around him, barely any destruction was actually done to the terrain, but the ground was a river of red.

Some beast who were still breathing after being ripped apart were struggling to crawl away but couldn't in the end, Mars didn't pay attention to them, it was over for them obviously.

After resting a bit and having his fill of beast blood and meat of which he used fire this time he decided to finally traverse into the next layer, the Inner Layer of beast where grade four beast are at every turn.

After the death of the king of the forest most of the beast were fighting for control to become the next king, they even ate from the bodies of their dead brethren trying to grow stronger to be the one in charge.

But so sad that the poor beast didn't know that the vicious and ruthless monster that killed a Grade 9 Beast, their king, is back and is coming for them, one by one.

Mars walk through the forest with a smile on his face."I'm coming for you little beasts."He said as the familiar golden radiance flashed in his red eyes.

*Whooshh*!!!

At full speed he disappeared shuttling through the bush, dodging tree as she entered into the inner layer leaving only an after image behind.

As this is the first time he entered the inner layer he took his time to look around, he could see all sorts of different trees and flowers, strange plants that might be special, even a feeling of freshness that you can't find anywhere else but deep in the forest.

."Mm, It seems that as you go deeper into the forest the air and energy becomes much purer, one day when my child is born I will bring them here, it's quite refreshing."Mars said getting lost in his thoughts, walking though the inner layer of the forest a pair of red eyes were watching him sharply.

The pair of eyes watched as he approached closer to where it was hidden, it waited then pounced.

.""Gek!!!"".

*Shhh*!!!

A blur of orange swinged its claws right at Mars face seemly wanting to tear it off the bone, a vicious and violent bloodlust could be felt from this thing.

.""Gekkkk!!!"".

Mars who was calm and unbothered glanced gently and gazed at the beast in the eyes and it suddenly froze in the air falling to the ground stiff as a board.

."Little fox, thought he could get me off guard, well it had another thing coming."Mars said with disdain looking at the orange fox lying on the ground twitching.

Mars shook his head as he continued walking.

It had been three day since Mars started killing the beast he had managed to clean out half the outer layer, which was hundreds of thousands, all the inner layer and all the center perimeter getting more than 40,000 pill cores of grade four to six.

The reason he was still here is to see the core of the forest, even though he already killed the dragon he wanted to still check out it's layer to see if he finds anything of value he can give to his child when it borns.

Soon he arrived in front of a cave with its entrance spanning more than 60 meters wide but it seems to be extremely deep like the abyss.

He entered into the cave, as he got deeper it got even darker, soon it was pitch black to the point where there was almost no light in the atmospheres, Mars eyes gently flickered with his Omni Soul Energy as he looked up in surprised.

The cave on the inside was surprisingly much bigger being more than 600 meters wide and the ceiling is over 400 meters high, but that's not what surprised him.

In the center of the cave he could see a large blue crystal that imitated the form of ice, frozen inside was a massive giant more than 300 meters tall.

Mars walk towards the giant crystal and touched it."Hm, it's warm to the touch, it seem to also be filled with divine energy, maybe I should try to sense the giant inside."He said with a curious expression on his face, it was like a play toy for him.

Mars closed his eyes and sent his senses into the crystal, it was extremely easy to do so but as soon as his senses touch the giant he opened his eyes with a baffled expression.

."That is actually a shocker, didn't expect to find someone this strong in this world, a Four Direction High God , how was he killed in a lesser world like this."Mars said with wide eyes."Truly fascinating, Hm he seems to have a sliver of his soul remaining in his God essence, I should give soul searching a try."

.""Soul search"".

Mars channeled the soul search on the giant, he was given access to it's memories but it seems because the giant was dead for such a long time, it's last sliver of soul memory has deteriorated a bit.

They are nothing more then fragmented memories remaining intact, Mars stop using soul search, he rubbed his chin, he had a pondering look on his face.

."So that's what happened, truly pitiful creature."Mars said pitying the poor fellow, what he say in the giant's memory was pitiful indeed, the giant was a being originally from this realm it seem.

He was infact the very first Giant King, one of the original four rulers of the entire True God World, the four great powers were deeper back then, now in the hands of the descendants is merely a shell of it's former self.

The four great rulers consisted of the first Giant King, the first Dragon Emperor, the first Phoenix King and the first Tiger King, they were inseparable.

Back then all four of them were bestfriends on the grand infinite journey of the cultivation path together, they all made an agreement to ascend to the higher realm together, but first all four would leave a legacy behind.

The four went on to have children building their respective kingdoms from the ground up, which has now come to be known as the four great powers.

After one thousand years of building their legacy they each decided to go into deep meditation to finally go from being 99% comprehension Demigods to full 100% and ascend.

After 100 year of deep cultivation and taking pills trying their best, the first one to be forcefully ascended was the Phoenix King, 3 years after that was the Dragon Emperor, then just a short 2 hours later both the Giant King and Tiger King ascended at almost the same time.

The ascension was grand for them all, bright lights pierced the skies, the clouds receded, portal like entities appeared to take them away, they were dragged into the higher realm.

When they ascended, they reached the one and only Peak World also known as the Trial God World, the gathering place of all 100% Demigods from the lower worlds they were surprised it was nothing like they had imagined.

It was not the beautiful higher realm that they imagined this world be, no paradise filled with joy, laughter and elegant grace, they were instead greeted with death, destruction, trickery and all sorts of vile action, at every corner was a bad omen, no one was safe.

But in the end with the four bestfriends joining hands, each having their own unique abilities, the power of friendship flourish, in just 20,000 short years they managed to reach the absolute pinnacle of the peak world and earned the qualifications to ascended again and become a Four Direction Low God and go to a higher world, Bethlehem Divine world.

They were so excited, they just couldn't wait, they were once again forced to ascend,when they became a Four direction Low God that was when the tragedy struck.

Even more tragically it was only for the Giant King, who was in shock, when they reached the next realm which was the Bethlehem Divine Realm the Giant King was quite literally backstabed and betrayed by his bestfriends nearly getting himself killed.

He didn't know why, he was shock, he saw their faces, so cold, he was so confused, he had no idea that they even entertained the thought, he could only thing why as he faded off into the land of the dead.

But by the blessings of fate and destiny, it was decided that it was not his time yet, he was luckily saved by a passing Four Directions Mid Goddesses who was absolutely stunning, she was beyond words to him, she was also a giant who healed his body and his heart.

After being together for 15,000 years more as a favor to him because he was a giant also the two ended up fallen in love and even had a daughter, for twenty two more years they lived in happy innocence.

As all good things much come to an end, in an instant it was all taken away from him, his once three bestfriends that betrayed him only got stronger in the end, their cultivation base was equal to his own being at Four Directions High God, but unfortunately they won in numbers.

They came to finish the job and kill him for good, they also wanted to torture him a bit, they were always jealous of him and his big strong body, their wives back in the lower world were also having fantasies about him, also the fact that even if his cultivation was weaker then their's he would still be as strong or stronger than them, it was not fair.

In the end the Giant King was held down and forced to watch as his wife and daughter was shrunk by special treasures then r*ped and broken for an entire six months, they were both impregnated and then later on killed in cold blood.

The Giant King was so enraged that he overflowed with power way beyond what should be possible with his current cultivation, he managed to put up a fight for three months but was in the end defeated and greatly injured once again.

Just as he was going to be killed he used a special treasure that his wife gave him to seal away his cultivation permanently allowing him to make an escape back to the lower realm as he would be kicked out of the higher Divine World.

Sealing his cultivation base also sealed his fate as he seal away the only reason he was still alive with such injuries.

He fell straight down till he had managed to return to the True God World, his original world by this point he was at death's door the only thing he can do is put himself in a hibernation type state till his body heals on it's own which would probably take millions of years and if he was unlucky, forever.

He used his last bit of energy and went into a cave and surrounded himself in his own essence which took the shape of an ice-like crystal leaving the cave in silence till now, this very moment.

~~

."He truly is pitiful, betrayed by his first loved ones, had to watch as all sorts of horrible things happened to his next, Mmm maybe I should help him as thanks for the memories."Mars said to himself in the cave looking at the pitiful giant king, he scratched his chin in thought.
