"There is definitely another explanation, Sect Master." Fogun showed a fake smile
"What explanation? Are you saying that His Excellency had deliberately made the Giants rest so he could make the other races battle? Alright let's put this aside, let's just forget about the northing giants for now... how can you explain what happened to the Giants of the Western Region?!" Jabba hit the table, he was feeling extremely panicked at that moment
Not long ago, an ice bridge was built between the eastern and western regions, and several billion intelligent beings were transported, not a single giant among them.
When Jabba and the rest of the elders went to receive the new arrivals from the Western Region that day, they found their faces blackened with fear and dread. Some of them even screamed when someone approached them at a certain distance.
Later, after everyone calmed down, Jabba learned that the demons had tightened their grip on the entire western region, and although they did not harm those people, However, they all said that they saw hell but did not enter it.
All the inhabitants of the Western Region saw atrocities happening to the race of giants, whether men or women, infants or old, powerful or mortal... The entire giant's race was mutilated in every street and in the middle of every square.
All the lower races deeply hated the giants with passion, that was undeniable, but even they were depressed and had involuntary tremors from what they saw... Some of them told Jabba that they saw giants hanging by their feet and being skinned alive. Some of them said that a large number of the giants of the western region are still alive, but they are treated like livestock and taken one by one to meet their fate as a walking meal. Some even said that some demons whose bellies were full used the giants as entertainment.
The horrors that Jabba heard that day haunted him mentally and psychologically and was unable to sleep until several days later when he collapsed unconscious from overthinking.
"What about the giants of the central region? Apparently, they were given a chance and included in the army and even given weapons, but when the migration took place, only 30 thousand giants had reached the eastern borders successfully... How many giants were there in the central region? Roughly 200 million?!" When Jabba saw everyone silent, he shouted again, "The giants of Nihari in the western region are long gone, they were eaten alive. As for those in the southern and central regions they were executed and thrown into battle by force until they were almost extinct, if we put them together it wouldn't be enough to form a village!! There is no home left for the giants other than the East and North."
"Mmm..." one of the elders raised his hand and spoke with a smile, "Okay, technically we also killed 90% of the Nihari giant population in the eastern region because they refused to submit to their last breath, and the rest of 10% were thrown into prisons, so the only home of the giants now is the North, Aright you may continue now."
That elder tensed when he felt everyone's gazes on his body, "What?! Did you say something wrong?!"
Jabba felt weak in his feet, so he sat down again, placing his head between his palms. When he was about to open his mouth again to defend what happened in the eastern region, he felt a dense aura gripping the back of his neck. "...All of you, evacuate the floor."
"Yes." The elders let out a sigh of relief and disappeared in moments,
There have been many awkward meetings one recently. A few times they talked about the high prices of the Burton family's merchants, other times they talked about the low prices at which the Burton merchants buy raw materials and metals, and a few other times it was about not being able to get their own information network because the Shadow Swords were blocking them, and of course this is the third meeting about the disappearance of the giants.
The strange thing is that after complaining in all the meetings, Jabba breaks something and asks them to leave without taking any action... Today was no different in their view, at least the sect master did not break anything this time.
"....." Jabba remained with his head in his hands until everyone left. What the elders did not see was that his facial expressions were not angry or tense as usual, but rather were full of fear.
"Good job keeping them away, it was a smart move." A black shadow surrounded by a glow of deep red appeared in front of Jabba, "I would hate to kill them all before I get a chance to talk to you."
Gathering some of his strength, Jabba raised his head to see the black shadow standing in front of him, and muttered weakly, "...Who? Who are you?"
Shadow showed a bright smile, placing his hands behind his back, "Me? Normally I would exterminate anyone for asking me to introduce myself, but I think you are qualified to have a few answers as a Master Law user... I won't tell you my name, you're not qualified to know it yet, but I will tell you my status; Those who know me call me the Goddess of Blood and Destruction."
"...Goddess?" Jabba looked at the shadow with astonishment. Indeed, the power he felt was powerful, but not to the degree of deification!
"Yes, and a very strong one too, if you take my opinion." Shadow laughed softly, then took a few steps toward the disk that Jabba was displaying and began examining it
Suddenly Jabba stood up and took a few steps back. At this moment, he remembered that this was not the first time he had known of someone calling himself God... 'So this is the rival who the All-Seeing God was talking about!'
'This?' "Wait, you are a woman?!" Jabba asked in amazement, the image he had of this entity being a terrifying, planet-devouring monster was beginning to crumble a little.
"Can't I be a strong woman?" Shadow raised his eyebrows and spoke in such a stern tone that Jabba took another step back in fright, but then the Shadow laughed, "Alright, rest, this shard is too weak to represent my true form, and I don't want anyone to see me anyway, you're not worthy."
After the shadow said her arrogant words calmly, she continued to observe the disk for a few seconds, "Oh, this thing is indeed interesting. This is not the usual way of visual recording, but it is not bad at all, Even in the middle planetary belt, you will find a good price for it, but I bet it will not be close to the price you paid for it...
"...What do you want from me?" Jabba felt a little embarrassed and angry when he heard the last part
Shadow finally looked away from the disk and looked at Jabba with glowing eyes, "Jabba son of Thandor, I have heard some interesting things about you... And I have come to see if there might be some way to cooperate."
