Chapter 87 Don't lose, Giant of Light!
"Kalfa, your opponent is me." Tiga hovered in the air, his gaze icy. "You call yourself a god? Today, I'll drag you down from that ridiculous pedestal!"
On the ground, as the large-scale burning of Zijra caused pollen concentrations in the air to drop sharply.
Those ordinary people who were originally immersed in their dreams began to experience violent physical reactions.
"Ugh...it hurts...my head hurts so much!"
The mother who had just smiled as she walked towards the inferno suddenly collapsed to her knees, clutching her head tightly with both hands and letting out a painful wail. Zigela's withdrawal symptoms were terrifying; it was the tearing sensation of her nervous system being forcibly stripped of the toxins.
The people around them began to collapse in droves, coughing and shedding tears, forcibly dragged back to cruel reality from that painless, blissful illusion.
"No...give me back the flowers! I want to go back...let me go back!" Someone desperately clutched at the soil in the ruins, trying to find even a trace of pollen.
When they looked up with tearful eyes, what they saw was no longer the candy house and paradise of their dreams, but a city in ruins, homes destroyed by the light of the giant of darkness, the corpses of their loved ones, and a scene of apocalyptic devastation.
The immense sense of loss plunged everyone into an even deeper despair and breakdown than before.
"Cry, howl!" A dark giant in the sky looked down at the humans struggling in agony and sneered cruelly. "Look, Tiga, these are the ants you've awakened! They even hate you for ruining their dreams! Are such creatures worth protecting?"
The Dark Giant gathered a destructive light blast from its hands and mercilessly hurled it at the group of civilians who had just woken up and were on the verge of collapse.
"boom!"
The light bullet didn't land in the crowd, but instead struck a broad, thick back.
Darram had somehow appeared in front of the group of civilians. He knelt on one knee and used his proud back muscles to take the fatal blow.
"Ugh..." Darram groaned as a large chunk of his back armor was blasted open, and light particles spilled out from the wound.
"Lord Darram..." The mother holding her child stared blankly at the red giant blocking her way. She recognized him; just a few days ago, this giant, who always liked to shout, had helped their community repair the collapsed city wall.
Darram slowly turned his head, his huge, glowing eyes showing no blame, only the unwavering resolve of a warrior.
"Don't be afraid, humans." Darram grinned, revealing an ugly smile. "That dream was fake, but the fact that I shielded you from the light was real."
Meanwhile, Hitler, in his attempt to rescue a group of civilians trapped in the collapsing temple, was struck in the legs by beams of light from two Dark Giants. Despite this, he still managed to brace himself against the massive ceiling structure, weighing thousands of tons, and roared at the crowd below: "What are you all standing there for?! Get out of here! My arms are going to break!"
Daya, Soruka, and even Daga who was always complaining.
Daga, carrying Gedi, stood in front of a main road, facing a dozen or so Dark Giants charging down. Daga fired light projectiles while cursing, "You bastard, Kaul! I'm just a gardener, why am I fighting for my life here! And you bunch of idiotic humans, look carefully! Who's killing you, and who's saving you!"
The civilians were stunned.
They looked at the giants of light, scarred from protecting them, and at the monsters they usually feared, who were now desperately trying to carve out a path for them.
The physical withdrawal symptoms were still painful, but something inside them was completely ignited.
There is no pain in dreams, but there is also no future.
Reality may be cruel, but there are people who are willing to bleed and die for them!
"No...we can't die here..."
The mother hugged her child tightly, and with a strength she didn't know she possessed, she stood up from the ruins. Looking at the swaggering, dark giants in the sky, the emptiness and despair in her eyes were replaced by an intense desire to survive.
"Lord Tiga! Lord Darram! Everyone... we absolutely must not lose to these monsters!!!" The mother shouted the first words with all her might.
The sound was like a spark landing on dry firewood.
"Down with them! We don't need that kind of false dream!"
"We must survive in reality! We must not succumb to the darkness!"
"Win! Giant of Light!!!"
The entire city—no, the entire world—all the humans who had awakened from the dream of Zijra, at this moment, let out a deafening roar.
This is no longer the blind faith and prayer of the past, but the purest and strongest will to survive from the depths of the human soul!
This is the true choice that humans make when they are fully conscious!
A miracle occurred at that moment.
Those shouts, embodying the will to survive of all humanity, transformed into visible golden specks of light in mid-air. These specks of light, like a reversed meteor shower, converged from all directions, continuously flowing into the bodies of Tiga, Camilla, Darramb, and all the other guardians.
"Beep beep... beep beep..."
The color timer, which was originally flashing a dazzling red light, emitted a crisp beep the moment it came into contact with these golden dots.
The red light faded, and a pure and dazzling azure light shone anew on the chests of each Giant of Light!
It wasn't just the restoration of energy; this light, infused with human will, allowed their power to break through its original limits.
"This power..." Darram stood up, feeling the surging power within him that seemed about to explode. He threw his head back and let out a wild laugh, "Hahahaha! I feel like I could punch ten mountains to pieces right now!"
Hitler's legs were instantly restored under the healing light. He transformed into a purple streak of light, twice as fast as before, leaving only a series of sonic booms in the air: "Let you degenerate bastards see what the fastest speed in the ancient times really means!"
"The counterattack begins."
Camilla's light whip instantly extended dozens of meters, the blue-white lightning even carrying a hint of golden divine aura. With a single lash, she cleaved three dark giants in two at the waist, turning them into shattered stone statues!
The situation in the sky reversed instantly.
The Pure Faction, which could originally suppress Tiga and others by relying on its numbers and the blessing of darkness, instantly became nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the Earth Star Guard, who had been reborn and were blessed with faith.
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
As Karfa watched his men being slaughtered one-sidedly, and as he looked at the pure light emanating from Tiga that sent shivers down his spine, his features contorted in agony.
