Chapter 870 - The Truth Of The Angels

"You mean to say that you came out of a human? How did that happen?" Lycan asked as he could not believe what he heard. With how big the giants are, a human giving birth to them would definitely pose a challenge. One can even say that it might even pose a threat to the life of the person.

"Not all giants are incredibly big like General Goliath. The most common height for a giant is somewhere between four to five meters. The smallest ones of our race are three meters tall and there are really big ones like General Goliath, but they are a rarity.

I actually came out of my mother's stomach as a human size child, but they soon learned that I was different. When I became five years old, my giant genes kicked in and I was as tall as my mother. I was soon escorted to the Kingdom of Magnusupra in fear of the angels attacking me.

I am probably the last of the human born giants in a century. This is also one of the reasons why the current royal family has forgotten about their giant lineage." Princess Dainta stated.

"If you are part of the royal family then why did you let the genocide of your family members happen? Sorry if that question might offend you in some way." Adrian stated.

"We do not have eyes on the ground below. We can only know their status every month when we send them the golden eggs that our Ancient Goose lays. We only had enough time to repel the Nymph Queen from completely sinking the kingdom below." General Goliath answered.

"I guess it cannot be helped as you are high above the clouds. The mechanical beasts that you have installed are also not used for observation. If it was then you might have seen us fighting them in some sort of monitor room." Adrian replied.

"You are correct as the mechanical protectors are what protects us from the scourge of the angels. Even the angels are not able to easily fly to this height without the aid of magic." Princess Dainta stated.

They all continued the discussion and the group learned interesting facts about the giants on the way. In turn, the giants also learned about the world below them. They are then led to what seems to be a library where an old giant that looks like a scholar is reading a book.

"This is Elder Nat. He is the oldest giant alive here and is the wisest. He will tell you about the reason why you cannot traverse the Chaos Springs." Princess Dainta stated as she gestured towards Elder Nat.

"Greetings. It has been too long since I have seen a demon again. Also, one so young yet so powerful." Elder Nat greeted the group.

"I have been wondering on the way you can measure my age?" Adrian asked as he is only about 18 years old in the setting of the game.

"Demons are easily identifiable with the aura they give off. The older the demon, the heavier their aura is. Yours is more like a bright sprouting sun but that is because we have special eyes from our true ancestor.

The Titan of the Sun Helios is said to have been able to see the number of times a person has lived to see the sun. We inherited that ability from the Titan of the Sun which is why we firmly believe that we come from him and not the angels." Elder Nat stated as the giants hate the angels more than anything.

"I actually get that because back then some gods fused together in order to live. It is not farfetched to say that the Goddess of Light created the angels from a fragment of other gods. Some Asmodians are also a result of a fragment of a god." Adrian stated as he knew that the Goddess of Life could not have created beings that equal gods that easily.

"It is not just that. The first angels created by the Goddess of Light were not in their form now. The first angels were more terrifying in form that they can be mistaken as bringers of misfortune despite radiating light. We giants came from the first angels or what the Angels now call as The Fallen." Elder Nat stated which made Adrian's ear perk as it was lore that he does not know.

"Are the Fallen different from the Devils?" Adrian asked as he knew that the devils were also angels back then.

"The Fallen are the first angels created that had bodies that look like chimaeras. The devils are a race that come from the current angels but decided to betray the goddess as they do not like being choked by the rules of the Silver City.

In fact, the Fallen and the Devils worked together back then to try and overthrow the Goddess of Light. In the end, the allegiance failed as the devils needed to be back to their dominion and the Fallen are almost wiped from existence." Elder Nat stated.

"If that is true then why did the angels not purge all of the Fallen? The angels are not really ones that like dirt on their history." Adrian asked.

"The demons intervened back then or rather a demoness intervened. The destruction that the angels did on the world back then was so great that they had to step in. The demoness sealed all the angels that led the purge while he let those that no longer wanted to follow the goddess be spared.

The angels that no longer have the protection of the goddess became Fallen, but they were only a handful. The start of the purge happened when the Nephilim were born as they posed a threat to the angels.

The Nephelim were a powerful warrior race that maximized the potential of their parents' races. The Goddess of Light feared that as they were powerful even without relying on her blessing." Elder Nat stated.
