......

As time passed, welcome notifications began springing up in clusters.

They were truly welcome notifications no matter how many times he saw them.

Su-ho said to Zeus,

“A fly’s going to get in your mouth.”

“H-huh? Ah, yes......”

Had he ever expected this?

He had succeeded in creating a human hero after receiving the prophecy that they had to borrow the power of a human hero, but the human hero he had imagined was one who, like other human generals, would brandish a weapon and rampage across the battlefield.

But his son displayed power beyond imagination—no, a kind of power he had never even considered.

It was then.

“Everyone gather together and combine your strength!!”

A powerful shout rang out from among the Gigantes.

At the same time, from the direction the voice came from, Kwa-rung! a great crash rang out, and countless shadow knights began being flung in all directions as though they had been yanked up like turnips and thrown away.

Seeing that, Zeus said,

“So in the end, those bastards are stepping forward.”

“You know them?”

“They are the most powerful among Grandmother’s children, the Gigantes. They’re the ones that have been giving us the greatest headache.”

Alcyoneus.

Porphyrion.

Enceladus.

Ephialtes.

Pallas.

They were among the strongest of the Gigantes Gaia had borne, and they were also the bastards causing the Olympian gods the most trouble.

“Then I’ll step in myself.”

“You?”

“I can’t keep ordering around only the soldiers under me forever, can I?”

Saying that, Su-ho rode Cheolma toward them.

Sure enough, the Gigantes, who had been driven onto the defensive by the Black Army, slowly began reforming their formation and pushing back the shadow knights under the direct command of the five bastards Zeus had mentioned.

“Okay, that’s far enough.”

At Su-ho’s appearance, the shadow knights withdrew.

Su-ho decided to call the five powerful Gigantes the Five Gigantes Brothers.

Well, they should be brothers anyway.

Alcyoneus, who seemed to be the eldest among the five brothers, said,

“What are you?”

“I’m Hercules, the human hero of prophecy.”

“Human? Do you think a mere human could stand against us, giants and children of the gods?”

“All mouth and nothing else. You can barely resist even my shadow soldiers, and you’re not embarrassed running your mouth like that?”

“Embarrassed, you say?”

At those words, Alcyoneus raised his right hand, and the earth rose up, forming one enormous spear of rough design.

“Then go ahead and die at the hands of someone embarrassing.”

As expected of giants.

Apparently they had no intention of talking any further, because they immediately charged at Su-ho.

Kwaaaaaang!!

A tremendous crash.

But the Five Gigantes Brothers failed to reach Su-ho.

Because standing between Su-ho and the Five Gigantes Brothers was the sturdy shield protecting Su-ho—Shadow Divine Beast King Hollow Jack.

- How dare a bunch of scrubby little weaklings even try?

“A monster?”

- Who are you calling a monster! I too am of the great giant race!!

[ Shadow Divine Beast King Hollow Jack uses Fear. ]

Gwhoooooooong!!

As expected of the Shadow Divine Beast King.

The Fear surging from Jack’s entire body as though it were convulsing had enough power to shove back the Five Gigantes Brothers in one go, despite them being strong enough to keep even the Olympian gods in check.

- Stop dragging your feet and let’s wipe them out in one shot! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

“That’s music to my ears!”

Jack absorbed the shadow knights and enlarged his body.

Then he pressured the Five Gigantes Brothers like mad and turned the tide of battle in an instant.

Su-ho did not stay still either.

[ Eclipse is activated. ]

[ You receive sunlight and moonlight. ]

[ The Sun and Moon Runes react. ]

[ The power of the sun and moon is activated. ]

[ You receive the Blessing of the Sun and Moon. ]

[ All stats increase by 2%. ]

[ All recovery power increases by 2%. ]

[ The fire attribute is activated. ]

[ The light attribute is activated. ]

[ The ice attribute is activated. ]

[ The dark attribute is activated. ]

He brought up Eclipse.

Then he immediately pressed a hand to the ground.

[ Corruption Sorcery is activated. ]

The moment Corruption Sorcery was activated, beginning from the spot where Su-ho had placed his hand, the land of Phlegrae blackened and rotted away in an instant like the land of the demon world.

“What is this?!”

“Why is this happening all of a sudden?!”

“Goddamn it!!”

The Gigantes began panicking badly.

They could hardly do otherwise.

They were the children of Gaia, the goddess of the earth.

Which meant they were beings more influenced by the earth than anyone else, yet he had made that very earth rot with Corruption Sorcery, so the power surrounding them was bound to weaken drastically.

[ Weaken is activated. ]

[ Seal of Pain is activated. ]

[ Enrage is activated. ]

[ Blessing of Rage is activated. ]

[ Curse of Rage is activated. ]

And that was not all. The moment Su-ho corrupted the earth, he also stacked all kinds of debuffs onto the five brothers.

- Gahahaha! Well done, Master!

Kwaang!!

Jack’s fist slammed into the five brothers.

Caught off guard by the sudden weakening effect, the five brothers, who had been fighting on equal footing, collapsed in a heap like bowling pins getting knocked over.

“Looks like it’s finally my turn.”

Only after finishing all the preliminary setup did Su-ho finally draw the Blood Sword and join the fight.

[ Enhancement is activated. ]

[ Diamond Cutter is activated. ]

[ Enhancement is applied. ]

[ The power of Diamond Cutter grows even stronger. ]

Slice!!

“Guaaaaaaagh!!”

Pallas, who had been closest, let out a scream of pain from Su-ho’s Diamond Cutter.

At that sight, the other brothers’ eyes grew as wide as saucers.

Pallas had the thickest hide among the Gigantes, yet Pallas’s arm had been cleanly lopped off as though slicing through tofu.

“Next!”

Su-ho shouted boldly.

“Wow......”
