Chapter 100: Chapter 100: The Call to Conquer
At this time, the capital of the Giant Nation, Giant City, loomed in all its imposing grandeur. The inhabitants of this city were creatures of immense size—giants, each towering over ten meters. Their sheer stature made them formidable in ways that ordinary humans could scarcely comprehend, with their height alone matching or surpassing the walls of an average city.
These giants held a terrifying advantage over all other human nations, and when they moved as one, it was as if the autumn wind swept away all in its path. Wherever they went, they caused the very earth to tremble. No country could resist the might of their legion.
This superiority was why the Giant Kingdom controlled land many times the size of the Tang Kingdom. Though their population was smaller, their combat prowess was unmatched.
Inside the grand palace, a white-bearded giant, standing over ten meters tall, sat upon a throne, wearing a crown that gleamed with royal majesty. His very presence radiated the aura of an emperor, one who commanded both fear and respect.
This was the King of the Giants, a being of immense power, whose legend was known across the land.
"Your Majesty," a giant warrior began, excitement evident in his voice, "there is news that a type of Divine Rice has appeared in the southern Tang Kingdom. Each grain is said to be four or five times the size of an ordinary human."
Another warrior quickly added, "Yes, there is word that this Divine Rice is enormous, almost like a mountain range. If we could seize it all, it would sustain us for years."
Despite their colossal size and overwhelming strength, the giants, like all beings, required sustenance. The problem, however, was that their meals were massive—equivalent to the food needed by dozens or even hundreds of humans. This made food scarce, and every year, hunger plagued the giant nation.
The scarcity of food had driven the giants to raid neighboring kingdoms for sustenance, but they had not been invulnerable. The Kingdom of Thunder and the Treasure Kingdom, among others, had taught them painful lessons. As a result, the giants were confined to their lands, unable to expand.
But this news of the Divine Rice was different. If they could acquire it, it would not only feed their nation for years but potentially solve the chronic hunger that plagued their people.
"That's not all," one warrior said, his eyes burning with hope. "If we can obtain the seeds of this Divine Rice, we could grow more, and that would completely solve our food crisis. No more hunger, no more suffering. Everyone would have enough to eat."
The notion of no longer facing hunger was a dream shared by every giant. There were even tales of giants leaving their kingdom, hoping to find food in foreign lands.
"Whoever can solve this issue of hunger will be hailed as a hero for generations," another giant muttered, eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"How did this Divine Rice even appear?" one warrior asked, skeptical. "Where did it come from?"
"It is said the Tang Dynasty is protected by ancient gods, and the rice may have been a gift from them," another warrior offered.
"Nonsense," one giant spat dismissively. "There are no ancient gods. If anyone is a god, it is our king, the God of Giants."
Another added, "I believe this rice is the result of some special world prop—something that created these giant grains. That's why so many have appeared."
A cheer rose among the giants. "If we conquer the Tang Kingdom, we could take this world prop for ourselves! Imagine it—our kingdom would be unstoppable!"
Their king remained calm, his eyes narrowed. "Don't be so hasty. The Tang Kingdom is not as simple as you think. They have powerful world props, and it's said their lord once summoned a stone mountain that annihilated the Thunder Kingdom and its million-strong army. If we're not careful, we may end up losing everything."
The warriors fell silent, the weight of their king's words sinking in. The Kingdom of Thunder, despite its own might, had fallen to the Tang Kingdom. The giants had to be cautious.
Still, many of the warriors were not deterred. "It's just a stone mountain. We're not afraid of that. Our own world props make us invincible."
"That's right," another shouted. "Even if the Tang Kingdom holds the Thunder God's Hammer, it would be impossible for them to master it now. Their entire kingdom couldn't wield it!"
The room buzzed with excitement. The thought of conquering the Tang Kingdom and taking the world prop that could create endless rice made their blood boil with anticipation. This was an opportunity they could not afford to miss.
The King of Giants sat back on his throne, his eyes cold and calculating. He had his doubts about the so-called ancient gods, but he knew that any world prop was powerful—no matter its origin. And he had his own powerful artifact.
Many centuries ago, he had been a mere human, with a size no different from others. Back then, the Giant Kingdom did not exist. But everything had changed when he discovered a powerful world prop: the Magnification Mirror.
This mirror had the ability to enlarge or shrink anything it reflected, from mountains to people. By using the mirror, he had enlarged himself and others, creating a mighty army of giants. With this newfound strength, he had swept through the Hundred Kingdoms, founding the Giant Kingdom and becoming a legend.
Now, with his kingdom established and his army at its peak, the King of Giants knew that no power was beyond his reach. If the Tang Kingdom held a world prop capable of creating Divine Rice, it was only a matter of time before it would fall to his might.
His kingdom, the mighty Giant Nation, was on the verge of its greatest conquest yet.
