Chapter 2297: War With the Three Pillars of Heaven

"You sons of bitches! While I admit that I was in the wrong for killing one of your people, how could you give such outrageous demands?! Are you even human?!" Kulas exploded with anger after receiving the Three Pillars of Heaven’s demands through one of their messengers.

The messenger continued coldly, "You didn’t kill some insignificant nobody. You killed one of the Sun Family’s elders. We’re already being generous with our demand—because not even the lives of a hundred of your children could compensate for the loss of one of our elders."

Kulas trembled with anger, exuding such immense killing intent that it forced the messenger to his knees.

"W-Was the elder not enough to satisfy you?! Are you going to kill me, too?!" The messenger exclaimed with a terrified yet provocative expression on his face, almost as if he was daring Kulas to kill him.

"..."

Kulas retracted his killing intent and fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a calm voice, "If the Three Pillars of Heaven are so desperate for war, you need only say the word. There’s no need to make unreasonable demands or deliberately provoke me."

"W-What?" The messenger’s eyes widened in disbelief at Kulas’s words.

’He’s not actually going to go to war with the Three Pillars of Heaven over a measly few lives, right?’ he wondered inwardly.

Despite the apparent severity of the demand, the messenger truly believed it was reasonable. In his mind, Kulas would rather sacrifice a few of his own children than provoke a war with the most powerful force in the world.

In his view, defying the Three Pillars of Heaven was sheer stupidity. Were he in Kulas’s position, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his entire family to avoid offending them.

"You heard me," Kulas calmly said. "If the Three Pillars of Heaven desire war, I’ll give it to them."

"W-Wait! You should reconsider this!" the messenger shouted. "I admit the Giant Race is formidable, but it’s incomparably weaker than the Three Pillars of Heaven! You’ll lose far more than just a few lives if this becomes a war! You have plenty of children anyway—what’s the loss of a few?!"

"What’s the loss of a few, you say...?" Kulas muttered.

Then he suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha! I never realized the Three Pillars of Heaven valued life so little! Did you bastards sell your souls to the devil or something?"

In truth, the Three Pillars of Heaven were fully aware of how unreasonable their demands were. However, they deliberately made such demands to put Kulas and the Giant Race in their place.

Simply put, they sought to assert their dominance over Kulas and the growing Giant Race, hoping to keep them firmly in check even as they continued to grow stronger.

After all, the Giant Race was spreading its influence and growing powerful at a terrifying pace—so much so that even the Three Pillars of Heaven, who considered themselves unrivaled, were beginning to feel the pressure.

Since Kulas denied their demands, war was inevitable. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
