On Saka Star.
Lake had no idea what was happening in the Chaos Universe and the World Tree Universe.
Well.
Lake had merely anticipated that this possibility existed. After all, he wanted to pardon Odin's son, Thor, and that was something the Giant race definitely could not accept.
Back then, the Giant race had suggested that Hela might be pardoned as well, but Lake had refused.
He already had a Queen of the Underworld. If Hela were pardoned, how would she be arranged? It would be troublesome. They couldn't possibly say that Hela was the Death Goddess, so the position of Queen of the Underworld should belong to Hela, could they?
Give it a rest.
Everything had to follow the principle of first come, first served.
Besides...
Although Lake had allied with the Giant race, he had never intended to let the giants become so-called transcendent giants within the universe after the Chaos Universe annexed the World Tree Universe.
In a word.
The Giant race had been able to curse Asgard's destruction directly with the curse of Ragnarok. Who knew whether they might do the same thing to Olympus in the future?
Lake would never agree to that. In fact, according to Lake's plans, the Giant race could merge into the Chaos Universe. He could even give several kingdoms to the Giant race separately.
After all, the Giant race could be considered his earliest allies.
But...
The Giant race would no longer bear the name of natural giants. They would change their name to Titan Giants. As for all their authority, Lake had to reclaim it. Once everything was accomplished, he planned to imitate Zhao Kuangyin, invite the leaders of the Giant race to a collective feast, and then stage a drinking banquet to strip them of their military power.
