Over the Barren Wasteland.
An enormous gate of light towered in the sky.
At that moment, a hundred-foot giant stood before it, golden from head to toe, as though cast from translucent gold.
Yet before that gate of light, even this hundred-foot giant was as insignificant as an ant.
Now, as the supremely majestic words "Heavenly Net" rang out from within the gate-
