396 Because you are not the strongest Transcenden (1/2)

Transcendence

City walls that were more than a hundred meters tall stretched out for miles in all directions.

Unlike the other three city walls, the western wall was especially reinforced. It was built with even harder materials.

This wall was extremely special because it was closest to the Silent Desolate Lands, and it was also the city wall that was closest to the Infernal domain. If the Infernal King would come attacking, this wall was the first to be hit.

Therefore, this city wall was not only a city wall. It was the first line of defense Transcendence had against the Infernal domain. Even though the Infernal domain had not invaded Transcendence for millennia, the Transcendents did not lax on the construction of the city wall that faced the Infernal domain.

But...at that moment, something that shocked the Transcendence was reverberating through the country. It was even something that caused great panic. A gaping hole in the western gate that had been specially reinforced had been ripped apart!

The gap went from top to down, stretching a hundred meters or more. The gap from left to right was also a hundred meters wide. It was as though a hundred-meter squarish gap had burst through the city walls.

What sort of terrifying force could create such appalling damage?

And most surprising of all, the hundred-meter-tall giant that always sat behind the western city wall like a mountain had suddenly disappeared!

Combining these two points, the truth to the matter could easily be inferred. Furthermore, a few eye-witnesses had seen an unbelievable scene. The gatekeeping giant had torn a hundred-meter-wide gap in the city wall with his bare hands before leaving Transcendence through the hole!

The entire city fell into panic as they discussed the matter.

The gatekeeping giant was brought by Leonis a decade ago from the outside world. Back then, the giant was only slightly more than ten meters tall.

And according to what Leonis said, the giant was a mixed child between the Transcendents and the Gargantuans. He had happened to encounter the child and brought him back.

Although the giant was large in size, the Transcendents did not feel any fear of him after they got accustomed to seeing him. This was because in their established expressions, the Gargantuans were as weak as ants in front of the Transcendents.

With the entrenched racial discrimination, they only looked at the mixed-blood giant with contempt.

However, Leonis handed the important task of guarding the gates to the giant. Although Leonis said that he was not guarding the gates but watching it, it still resulted in the jealousy and protests from rogues.

Therefore for the past decade, there were several Transcendents that deliberately came to mock and bully the giant. After learning that the giant was a weak coward who did not dare to fight back, to the point of not even daring to speak back at all, the Transcendents went from bad to worse.

The giant only faced the city wall and had his back facing everyone else. He was like a lonely mountain, as his back endured the mockery and bullying of the Transcendents, but the only response he gave was silence and tolerance.

And what was even more astonishing was that in a decade, the giant went from a height of ten meters to about a height of hundred meters. He far exceeded the impression the Transcendents had of Gargantuans.

However, his increase in size did not make the Transcendents feel any fear for the gatekeeping giant. It was because the giant had also been influenced by the racial discrimination, as the belief that the race of the Transcendents was the strongest race became entrenched in him.

He would be extremely polite to Transcendent beggars, but would hurl invectives at Bravehearts of other races. He was like a Transcendent more like any other Transcendent. He stubbornly believed that the bloodline of any other race was garbage.

And it included his Gargantuan bloodline.

As the saying goes, whoever is pitiful must have a cause to be despised. It was probably the most apt description of the gatekeeping giant.

But at this moment, the giant had left after the few humans left. He had left Transcendence, leaving the spot he had never left for a decade!

Why did the gatekeeping giant suddenly leave?

Furthermore, why did he leave in such a shocking and exaggerated manner? The hundred-meter-wide gap looked like the gaping hole of an enraged behemoth.

However, what was even more astonishing ensued.
