At this time, Li Xiao and the others naturally saw the scene unfolding before them.
"Look, the gods have struck!" someone exclaimed in awe.
In an instant, a mighty rain began to fall from the sky, with each drop the size of a rock, bringing an ominous power.
Hundreds of millions of massive droplets poured down like countless shells, creating a terrifying momentum. The earth was struck by these colossal water droplets, with the impact leaving deep pits and even flattening peaks by several meters.
"Divine rain... this is the rain of the gods!" a voice trembled.
The crowd was stunned, unable to believe their eyes. They had never witnessed such a dreadful rain. Each drop was as large as a rock, and if one hit them, they would surely be crushed.
Even a warrior, if struck by a thousand drops, would be torn apart, reduced to a bloody mess.
In fact, they had seen the powerful giant warriors hit by thousands of these rainstones. They had no resistance, with their internal organs crushed, vomiting blood before collapsing.
They had never seen rain this destructive—it was more like the rain of annihilation.
"It's so tragic, the giants are doomed. They have nowhere to hide," someone murmured in disbelief.
The torrential rain covered an area within a hundred miles, and even if the giants were fast, they couldn't escape its reach in time.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and soon, the raindrops merged, forming a terrifying torrent.
"Look, the rains are coming together, forming a flood," someone exclaimed.
They watched in horror as the raindrops fell, not dissipating but merging into a massive stream of water. The terrain around them was high, while the giant lands were low, and the water surged rapidly towards them, turning into an unstoppable flood.
"The giants seem to have drowned... all of them," someone said, aghast.
In truth, if it had only been heavy rain, few of the giants would have perished. After all, they were incredibly strong and could have resisted the rain. Only the weaker ones might have been killed by the massive droplets.
But now, with the water gathering into an unstoppable torrent, the situation was different. The devastating flood caused the giants to be helpless, like ants in front of a tsunami.
As the flood struck, the giant warriors were carried away by the fast-moving current. Their desperate screams filled the air as they were swept away, drowning one by one.
None of the giant warriors could swim. They could only watch as they sank beneath the water, their lungs filling with water, unable to breathe.
It didn't take long for them to drown, and due to their high body density, their corpses remained at the bottom of the water, never rising to the surface.
"My god, tens of millions of giant warriors drowned like this?"
"Divine punishment... this is the power of divine punishment. Daring to invade the kingdom of our gods, this is the end they deserve."
"The giant kingdom... it has perished. A once-mighty kingdom, now nothing."
"Our Tang Kingdom is indeed protected by the gods. Anyone who dares to threaten us will face divine retribution and meet their doom."
"The land of the giants is nothing. Those who offend us will perish." Many people stood in stunned silence.
Before, they had feared that the giant warriors' invasion of the Tang Kingdom would pose a serious threat. They had even feared the loss of many lives in the battle.
Although they had heard legends of the ancient gods, most of the people still remained half-believers, having never witnessed such miracles.
However, the scene before them shattered any doubts. The ancient gods were real, and their power was unquestionable.
For a moment, the faith of the people in the ancient gods grew, quickly evolving into devout reverence.
"Your Majesty, the lord of the giant kingdom is dead, and tens of millions of the giant legions have been drowned. The giant kingdom no longer has the strength to resist our Tang Kingdom's forces," one of the ministers said ecstatically.
All of the giant kingdom's forces had concentrated in this location. The remaining soldiers in their homeland were few, so now, with their main forces wiped out, the Tang Kingdom could easily conquer them.
If the Tang Kingdom's army were to march, the giant kingdom's vast territory—three times that of the Tang Kingdom—would be theirs. Not only would they gain the giants' immense population, but they would also seize endless resources, boosting the Tang Kingdom's power and elevating it to regional dominance.
"These are all the gifts of the gods. Without their help, we could never have defeated the giant kingdom so easily," Li Xiao said, his fists clenched in excitement yet deep humility. He didn't take credit for the victory. His heart was filled with awe, for this flood—this world-ending force—was far beyond anything the Tang Kingdom could achieve alone.
If such a flood were to strike the Tang Kingdom, the death toll would be in the hundreds of millions. This was the power of the ancient gods. Anyone who angered them would face utter annihilation.
"Of course, these are the gifts of the gods," everyone agreed.
"Well, enough talk. Send the army to the giant kingdom immediately, occupy the entire kingdom, and within seven days, I will turn the giant nation into history and claim its land for the gods," Li Xiao declared.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Tang soldiers roared with a sense of purpose, their morale surging as their momentum became unstoppable.
