Chapter 975: Chapter 79 Your Infamy is Known to All_2
Where gravel does not exist, nor does the ocean reside, let alone the soothing waves;
Beneath our feet there’s no land, above our heads no sky;
Only an abyss of nothingness, The Great Chasm, bereft of life’s fragrant grass.
You are the Ancestor Giant, the foundation of the World.
We, descendants of the Giant Clan, humbly offer this Sacrifice to you!"
Simultaneously, the surrounding Frost Giants stepped forward in turn, taking the Cursed Blades made of bone from the hands of the Frost Giant Wizards, solemnly slicing their own wrists, scattering blood of gold and azure upon the altar.
"Hum~!!"
The altar, saturated with the Giants’ blood, thrummed and illuminated; the hearts of the prey laid upon it withered like dried-out husks, carried away on the wind deep into the pitch-black depths of The Great Chasm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Sounds like low thunder or the heavy beating of a drum emerged from deep within The Great Chasm, echoing in the ears of the Frost Giants, causing their blood to flow uncontrolled and hasten.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!"
Amidst a series of muffled tearing noises, several Giant Guards standing before the altar had blood vessels burst forth, torrents of gold and azure blood gushing from their bodies like fountains, flowing toward the depths of The Great Chasm.
Soon, the Giant Guards Lafei had brought were drained of blood and Vitality, their bodies disintegrated into fine icy dust.
Then, the ceremonially presiding Frost Giant Wizards suddenly found themselves unable to move, as Life and Magic Power were being voraciously devoured by something within The Great Chasm.
"Your Majesty, save me! Save me..."
"Roarrr!"
The plea for help was abruptly cut off; the glacial ice before them shattered, forming a stairway of frost leading into the depths of The Great Chasm, with faint blue cold light flickering within.
Lafei, without looking back at his kinsfolk who were gradually losing signs of life, turning into statues of ice, proceeded down the frost-covered stairway towards the inside of The Great Chasm with an agitated heart.
The deeper he went, the colder it grew, the icy layers and frozen ground steadily adopting a deep azure hue.
Brown-skinned Mountain Giants, azure-skinned Frost Giants, and ancient Magic Beasts constituted of molten lava, as well as creatures from various other clans were entombed within.
Though their vitality had ceased, they still retained their original forms and the struggles of their last moments; a record of that grievous past.
Passing through this chilling glacial graveyard, the surrounding temperature dropped to the point where breath turned to ice.
Even Lafei, the mighty Frost Giant King, could hardly fend off the cold that seemed to freeze one’s Spirit. Frost blossoms formed on his body and his movements slowed, akin to an old man nearing his end.
Yet all their efforts and sacrifices were not in vain.
Lafei, staggering step by step and dragging his rigid body, reached the end of the ice chamber.
Numerous frozen ice-blue plant roots and Gravel formed a natural altar, wrapping around an unfathomably cold, ice-blue rectangular object.
The outside of the rectangular object was adorned with a myriad of faintly visible Rune-like lights, resembling a treasure chest.
And through the semi-transparent ice-blue crystalline structure, Lafei saw a slowly pulsating ice-blue heart.
Is this... the legacy of Ancestor Ymir?
Lafei, trembling with excitement, stepped forward and extended his shaking hands to take the ice-blue rectangular crystal from the altar.
In an instant, the altar collapsed as if it had lost the support of its power.
And in the moment of contact with the ice-blue rectangular crystal, Lafei also perceived through the resonance of Bloodline the True Name and purpose of this treasure.
The Frozen Ice Box, a top-tier Destructive Divine Artifact.
Its power is enough to freeze the Nine Great Kingdoms, plunging the World into Eternal Winter. If properly utilized, even when faced with the Asa Divine Race blessed with Flames and Light, the Frost Giant Clan would have the power to fight!
Furthermore, this artifact could subtly activate the latent potential of the Frost Giants, enhancing their strength.
Knowing all this, Lafei’s emotions surged beyond measure.
Now, he couldn’t wait to bring this treasure back to Etheregar City to thoroughly study its mysteries and quickly enhance his own power, to avenge the humiliation of the past!
However, there’s no rush to leave just yet.
This place, as the holy land where Ancestor Ymir was born and fell, and the starting point of the creation of the Nine Great Kingdoms, is buried with an abundance of treasures.
If utilized well, the strength of the Frost Giant Clan can be further reinforced.
Lafei suppressed the urge to return and swept his eyes over the frozen corpses in the ice layer, his gaze finally settling on a towering and ferocious figure.
His massive body was as large as a mountain, with six heads and twelve arms.
Even in death, the savage and brutal aura still made Lafei, standing outside the ice layer, shudder.
Around this monster, dozens of Asa Gods clad in beast skins, wielding long spears and battle axes, were ripped into pieces of flesh scattered all over the ground.
Through the incomplete adornments on these gods, Lafei recognized two somewhat familiar names
— Buri and Bao’er.
The ones buried here seem to be none other than Divine King Odin’s father and grandfather, as well as the ancient Asa warriors.
Therefore, the identity of this six-headed, twelve-armed monster also emerges.
Lafei licked his lips, with an excited and ghostly light in his eyes.
— The Earth God Sledegaimir!
He was one of the three great giants directly created by Ancestor Ymir, with tremendous fighting power, commanding Ancestor Ymir’s personal guards.
Legend has it that in a fierce battle with the Asa Divine Race, this Earth God, the eldest son of Ancestor Ymir, perished alongside Odin’s father and grandfather in defense of the royal court.
And the reason Lafei remembers these details is that the Earth God had a son, named Beigelmier.
After the murder of Ancestor Ymir, Beigelmier and his wife escaped the onslaught of the sea of blood by boarding the Stone Mortar Ship, arriving in Jotunheim, giving rise to today’s Frost Giant Clan.
Which is to say, this Earth God could be considered an ancestor of the current Frost Giants.
Since that is the case, fight once more for your descendants, for your clansmen, and once more, engage in the battle.
Lafei raised the Frozen Ice Box in his hand, chanting ancient and complicated runes.
Suddenly, the ice-blue heart inside the box slightly pulsed, and a black viscous liquid gushed out of the chamber, seeping through the outer walls of the box and dripping onto the frozen ground.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a rumble that shook the earth, the entire ice layer cracked apart, and strands of red-black mycelium grew on the body of the Earth God, swiftly mending his riddled flesh.
Moments later, six pairs of eyes, the size of lanterns, slowly opened amid the swirling dust, revealing a fierce and brutal red-black light.
However, upon seeing Lafei holding the Frozen Ice Box, the Earth God, like a tamed hound, extinguished the ferocity in his eyes and respectfully bowed his head.
Indeed, the legend is true!
Lafei excitedly nodded, holding the Frozen Ice Box close with adoration.
Dark Aether Eitr, this is a substance of Demon Nature different from Divine Power, related to the origin of all Giants.
For it is said, Ancestor Ymir came into being from droplets containing Eitr and the icy river, hence Giants’ blood also contains this substance, bound to and obedient to the commands of its master.
But ever since Ancestor Giant Ymir and a large number of Original Giants died, the exact nature of this so-called Dark Aether became a mystery.
Now it seems, I have found the legendary Dark Ether Particles.
And it, evidently, is the Demon Nature blood of Ancestor Giant Ymir.
This also perfectly explains why when Ancestor Giant Ymir died, the sea of blood flowing from his body could drown most of the Original Giants.
For it is a substance of Demon Nature that can dominate and destroy Giants.
Good! Very good!
With this thing in hand, the days of prosperity for the Asa Divine Race are numbered.
In the face of Eternal Winter, the so-called Flames and Light might not keep Asa resplendent forever!
Lafei, holding the Frozen Ice Box, swept his gaze over the corpses of the Giants in the frozen ground, his face filled with grim anticipation.
