Over the years, the giants had forgotten the anger from the first Gigantomachia. The repeated scenarios took away their will and tarnished the glorious days.
Now the 60th scenario, Gigantomachia was merely a festival of constellations where several giants
were conscripted.
[Please go back.]
Rather than resisting the world, the giants chose to be forgotten from the world. Their despair was so huge that I was speechless for a moment. It would've been nice if Yoo Sangah was here right now. She was better at convincing people than me.
“The commanders of a mythical era… they aren't a big deal.”
It was a uniquely rude tone. Surprisingly, Kim Namwoon was the first one to open his mouth.
“Lumps, you aren't dead like me.”
Despite the terrifying status of the giants, his small mouth was still moving. Kim Namwoon shouted in a strangely heightened accent, as if it was his end and he wanted to have no regrets. “Those who are alive can change the future. Yet you're already giving up? They say that gods are greater than humans and have enormous mental strength? ■king bull■! Whining after losing a few times…!”
A bloody aura rose from the giants. I quickly moved in front of Kim Namwoon to stop him. “You can still change. This Gigantomachia is completely different from the ones before.”
[History doesn't change.]
“Have you already forgotten that you were betrayed by the God of Lightning? Have you forgotten how you fell to the abyss of Tartarus after helping him win Titanomachy?”
Yoo Sangah wasn't around but I remembered what she told me. Yoo Sangah was excellent in world history and mythology. I recalled the time when she persuaded King Heungmu the Great with her words. “How was it during Gigantomachia? It was a fight you could win. It was a fight you could win if it wasn't for the help of human heroes. Do you want to be recorded as a myth that was forever defeated?”
[Cheeky child. You don't understand…!]
“I understand. Your despair, I understand it all.”
It was a lie. It was because I didn't know about them. However, it also wasn't a lie.
“I know someone who was in the same position as you but he didn't give up to the end, unlike you.”
We could only understand the other person through our stories.
“I knew a man who was desperate thoughts of times in front of a world greater than him, yet never gave up.”
Yoo Jonghyuk and Kim Namwoon looked at me. Briareus asked, [Whose story are you talking about?]
“The story of a hero I know. I can tell you if you like.”
Briareus laughed at my words. The deep distrust was filled with ridicule.
[Hidden behind the wall.]
…The presence behind the wall. At this moment, I heard the world creaking.
[I know that you have a fragment of the Last Wall. You are hiding behind it and avoiding the attention of other constellations.]
It was true.
[Do you think there is any authenticity in the words from such a coward? You can't persuade us.]
Funnily enough, I couldn't refute the words. It felt like he pointed out something that I had ignored for a long time.
[The Fourth Wall is indignant!]
