"That's right, we are the direct descendants of the great God of Giants Kampas, a secret we've kept hidden for thousands of years, known only to each generation of priests."
The priest quickly adjusted his mindset, stopped the tears that were about to flow, and his aura had changed. He had transformed from an old man who looked like he could die at any moment into an old man with a commanding presence who could die at any moment.
So what's your decision?
"Move now, move now."
The priest, who had been hesitant just moments before, was now incredibly resolute, as if he would fight anyone who dared to stop him.
He wouldn't hesitate to give his life for the will of the gods.
The giants, who were lying on the ground admiring the starry sky just a second ago, were jolted awake by the roar. They looked at the priest, who usually had to pant for a long time if he raised his voice even slightly, and now he was shouting in a voice even louder and more resonant than theirs.
"Moving, moving, moving now!"
They didn't know what was happening, but seeing the punishment of being hit on the head with a cane for being even slightly slow, they immediately ran home and quickly packed their belongings.
If Leo hadn't brought so many daily necessities this time, they would have considered moving as just taking a few skewers of dried meat.
The sight of them carrying so many bags and packages made the priest's forehead veins throb; when did they acquire so much wealth?
After filling two wizard rings, he still had a lot of things hanging on his body.
"Throw away all your things and go lift up the statue of the great God of Giants Kampas! We are going to place the statue of the great God of Giants in our new tribal home!" the priest shouted, pointing at the adult giants in the tribe.
The giants looked at the things in their hands, each one a treasure they had never possessed before, and now that the priest was telling them to throw them away, they were reluctant to part with them.
The priest was so angry at their disobedient behavior that he was about to beat them one by one, but his raised staff was stopped by a hand.
The priest looked and realized it was Leo.
"My friend, what is this...?" the priest asked in confusion.
"It's not easy for giants to accumulate their wealth. Let me help you pull out the statue of the God of Giants," Leo said with a smile.
"I can't accept this,"
"It's alright, my teachers have taught me to be helpful since I was little."
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, Yaoyao and Benji simultaneously closed their eyes. Leo had gone through so many tricks, all this was just a prelude to this.
First, use a large amount of supplies to corrupt the giants' lives and bind their hands and feet.
Then they indoctrinate them with a vast amount of knowledge, bewitching their minds.
As a result, these giants are no longer the pure giants they once were!
Leo only needs to lure them with a better life, and he will surely ensnare them.
Leo walked up to the statue of the God of Giants Kampas, reached out and touched it; it felt exactly like ordinary stone.
Leo had already investigated the statue using various methods over the past few days, but to no avail. He perceived it as an ordinary statue, nothing more.
He had tried to get information out of Wakeda and the other giants in private, but none of them knew anything about the statue. Even the priest thought it was just an ordinary stone statue passed down from their ancestors, and that it had only been used for so long because of habit.
Leo wrapped his arms around the statue, exerted force with his legs, and let out muffled groans from deep in his throat, yet he couldn't move the statue an inch, as if the statue had grown out of the earth.
"My friend, what's wrong?"
The priest asked in confusion after seeing that Leo had not removed the statue.
According to Wakeda's description, Leo is extremely powerful and shouldn't be unable to remove a stone statue.
"Sorry, I can't pull it out. Why don't you try it yourselves?" Leo didn't try to hide anything and told them the truth.
"Is that so?"
Wakeda and the other giants all came over curiously, each grabbing the statue and trying to pull it out, but none of them could budge it.
Even the combined efforts of several giants could not budge the statue in the slightest.
"Priest, we really can't pull it out. Why don't we carve a new one when we get to the new tribe's location?"
A giant suggested.
They didn't really want to carry such a large statue for long distances in the first place, and now that they can't pull it out, they don't have to carry it anymore.
"Alright, that's the only way."
The old priest stroked the statue, feeling extremely reluctant, but there was nothing he could do since he couldn't take it away. He could simply carve a new one later, and he figured the great God of Giants wouldn't blame them.
The giant tribe set off, heading towards the new location Leo had chosen for them.
However, they didn't notice that halfway through, Leo excused himself to communicate with the wizard above and left for a period of time.
As Shadow Walking, Leo revealed no trace of his presence beneath the Godslaying Wizard Robe.
" Leo, you're so mean! You actually used Gravity Shadow to make that statue incredibly heavy. It's no wonder those giants couldn't pull it out," Yaoyao said.
"You're really wrong this time. That was my original plan, but I haven't used Gravity Shadow yet," Leo said.
"So this statue is really that peculiar?" Yaoyao looked at Leo.
"That's right, the density of the statue is beyond my imagination; its mass is hundreds of times heavier than that of metal of the same volume."
"This time I've brought Wakeda and the others to a better position, their future development is limitless, consider this statue their reward."
"In the end, you're the one who benefits. All you've given up is a little time and some daily necessities, which aren't even worth a single energy crystal," Yaoyao disdainfully to Leo.
Leo smiled but remained silent. Why should he look down on me for a treasure he obtained through genuine skill and deception?
Returning to the village at the mouth of the canyon, it was deserted except for the statue standing silently in the center.
" Body Refinement Wizard, First Layer Hunter Bloodline, Activated!"
With a low growl, Leo Leo instantly transformed into a four-meter-tall Hunter, his surging physical power surging outwards, the intense pressure causing some tiny creatures around him to flee quickly.
The Hunter embraced the statue, letting out a low growl. With a sudden burst of strength, he shattered the ground, his bulging muscles clearly outlining the Godslaying Wizard Robe. Yet the statue remained motionless, as stable as a mountain.
The Hunter circled the statue, observing it, but after several attempts, he still couldn't budge it an inch.
Under the starlight, the ugly statue that stood silently seemed to be mocking Leo's incompetence.
"I don't believe it!"
" Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline, activated!"
The Hunter roared and instantly expanded to eight meters in size. Its square face exuded an imposing aura, and its body crackled with blinding arcs of electricity from time to time. The intense aura created air currents around it, blowing dust everywhere.
Beneath the grey wizard's robes, the giant, shrouded in a chilling aura, stretched out his hands and grasped the statue.
Its enormous size allowed the Thunderstorm Giant to grab the statue directly.
"Get up!"
With a roar, the Thunderstorm Giant, having exerted all its strength, plunged its entire body below the waist into the ground, and the previously unshakeable statue began to slowly rise.
"Come on!"
"Go Leo!"
Yaoyao stood at the very top of the statue, its head positioned high, and with all her might, she managed to lift the statue out little by little. Go Thunderstorm Giant!
The bulging veins on the Thunderstorm Giant's forehead made Yaoyao worry that it might explode at any moment.
This unassuming statue, only four meters tall, required the full strength of a level two Thunderstorm Giant to pull out, demonstrating its immense weight.
"Roar"
With a roar, the Thunderstorm Giant straightened its body and pulled the entire statue out of the ground.
"Whoosh"
Amidst heavy breathing, the Thunderstorm Giant's gaze was one of shock.
Although Leo was prepared and had a rough idea of the statue's weight, he didn't expect it to be this heavy.
This poorly sculpted statue is only about the size of one of his thighs, yet it weighs as much as a mountain.
With a wave of his hand, Shadow Space appeared, and the Thunderstorm Giant laboriously stuffed the statue into Shadow Space.
Looking at the shattered ruins of the village and the dark crater in the middle, it was clear that someone had removed the statue.
Leo pressed his hands on the ground, making no visible movement, and the newly broken ground seemed to come alive, slowly healing itself.
As for the hole in the middle, an identical statue was taken directly from the Shadow Space and inserted by Leo.
They erased all traces, leaving the tribe looking exactly the same as before.
Leo deactivated his Thunderstorm Giant form and reverted to his human form on Earth. He waved to Yaoyao, "Let's go back."
Back in the giant migration tribe, Leo acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to tell them about the outside world and basic knowledge.
A month later, Leo led Wakeda and the others to the vicinity of the star carrier.
Their gasps of surprise and their eyes filled with awe and confusion reflected a fear of wizarding civilization and an anxiety about their future.
The surrounding aura was too strong; squads of wizards and hordes of slaves—any small team could wipe them out.
But even such terrifying power had to descend before Leo Leo show Leo the utmost respect.
They couldn't comprehend Leo's status and authority; they only knew that Leo was a very powerful and authoritative wizard.
"This is the new location I've chosen for your tribe. From now on, you will begin your new life here."
Although the location of the teleportation portal is not yet confirmed, Leo could roughly guess it and simply placed the location of Wakeda's tribe next to the portal, which was the best location.
"Thank you, my friend. If you ever need the giants' help, please don't hesitate to ask. I swear in the name of the great God of Giants Kampas, our friendship will last forever, and will never be forgotten until the end of time."
After the new homeland was rebuilt by incorporating a great deal of wizarding technology, the priest, along with all the tribal giants, made their most sincere oath to Leo.
"I will."
Looking at Leo's smiling face, Yaoyao had a premonition that Leo would definitely need to use these giants in the future.
What these giants received from Leo, they will return thousands of times over.
