Chapter 408: Eighty-Ninth Floor, Demigod (1)
[Primary Objective: avoid the giants’ gaze and meet the Giant Resistance. Time remaining: 12 hours 2 minutes.]
Kireing’s story didn’t seem like a lie. Nothing was questionable or out of place.
Of course, I still didn’t know why the tinies had betrayed the giants. It could have been nothing more than a desire to conquer, though several other possibilities came to mind.
Perhaps in the distant past, the giants had persecuted and imprisoned the tinies. Although it was also possible that things hadn’t played out quite as Kireing had described. Another option was that the giants had abused the miniatures after first encountering them.
Even if that were true, though, that still doesn’t excuse the current situation.
Entering another being’s mind and taking control of them was something I could not accept.
Since I was still conversing with Kireing, the trial hadn’t updated yet. I could only continue as the trial instructed. There had to be a reason for it.
The tower tended to side with the oppressed, especially those subjected to one-sided brutality. The trial told me to help the giants, so that was what I would do.
“What are you thinking about?” Kireing’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.
His eyes, sharp and intuitive, were now watching me closely. I hadn’t realized how deeply I had pondered during a lull in the conversation.
“I was thinking about how best to break through the current situation.”
That wasn’t entirely true, but I couldn’t really say I had been considering whether the giants were in the wrong.
