Chapter 66 The Pure Giant
The next morning, at the construction site of the maglev tunnel in the eastern mountains.
The once barren mountain range is now a scene of bustling construction.
"Push! Little Rock! Tuck your left wing in, don't get it stuck in the cave wall! Use your claws to dig into that granite, don't ram it with your head!"
Wearing an ancient dust hat that he'd somehow acquired and holding a megaphone, Kaul stood atop a towering rock, looking every bit the seasoned foreman.
Below him, a sixty-meter-tall rock, a fusion of Golza and Melba genes, was pitifully waving its massive claws, frantically digging into the earth inside the mountain. Although this monster's intelligence was still questionable, under Caulreonics's mental manipulation, it was like a precise and tireless giant tunnel boring machine, each swing of its claws accurately excavating large sections of rock, even preserving the tunnel's load-bearing structure intact.
"Hahaha! Too slow! Kaul, your monster may be strong, but it's still not as efficient as mine!"
At the entrance of another tunnel not far from Xiaoyan, Dalam, still in his 54-meter-tall form as a giant of light, was lifting a boulder weighing tens of thousands of tons with his bare hands and throwing it precisely into the distant waste disposal area like a shot put.
This "strongest" member of the guard regiment, completely devoid of any airs of being a Holy Giant, was covered in dust, his chest timer even flashing with excitement from the intense labor. He was utterly absorbed in a strange competitive spirit of "outperforming the monsters in infrastructure efficiency."
A purple and silver afterimage streaked across the sky. Hitler braked suddenly in mid-air and landed steadily next to Kaul, still holding a stack of the latest engineering drawings in his hand.
"I've finished delivering the urgent supplies to the East China Sea outpost. I also went to the building materials base and picked up the next batch of alloy support frames for the tunnels." Hitler reverted to human form, dusted off his hands, and looked down at Daram with a smug expression. "That muscle-bound idiot still hasn't dug through the third district? Looks like the 'model worker' title is mine again today."
Kaul nodded in satisfaction.
That's right. As long as you set KPIs for these energetic single-celled organisms, the social value they create will be much higher than what they spend their days fighting in the training field.
"Woof!"
The Golden Retriever, Gaddi, who had been squatting nearby supervising the work, suddenly barked and wagged its tail happily.
Kaul turned his head and saw Tiga and Camilla walking side by side toward him.
Today, Camilla wasn't wearing her signature black battle suit. Instead, she had changed into a relatively casual ancient outfit. Although her expression still carried her usual aloofness, a closer look revealed that her gaze towards Tiga had lost some of the morbid possessiveness of the past and gained a touch of the gentleness of a woman in love.
Most importantly, Tiga was carrying a brand new wooden box, and he was smiling and saying something to Camilla. Although Camilla snorted and turned her head away, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
"Looks like yesterday's 'nuclear charred meat' meal wasn't a waste of time. The relationship between the two has been completely stabilized." Kaul thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction. He had cut off half of the greatest crisis of the ancient era at its source.
However, just when the atmosphere was harmonious and the project was progressing steadily, an unexpected change occurred.
In the sky, the originally clear clouds were suddenly torn apart by an extremely powerful energy that even carried a blinding light.
Five beams of light descended from the sky and landed directly in the center of the construction site. The enormous impact overturned the surrounding dust control equipment and several small cranes to the ground.
As the light faded, five giants, each over fifty meters tall and radiating a dazzling pure white light, stood on the earth.
The leading Titan was named Calfa, the vice-commander of the garrison force and the absolute core of the ancient "Pure" Titans.
His body was devoid of any other colors; the pure white light might be seen as a sacred symbol by ordinary people, but in Kaul's keen perception, this light exuded an arrogance and coldness that made people extremely uncomfortable.
"Stop your filthy behavior!"
Karfa did not revert to human form. He looked down at the construction site below, his voice like rolling thunder echoing throughout the mountains, his tone filled with undisguised disgust.
"Tiga! Darram! You, as noble giants of light, as gods of this planet, have actually lowered yourselves to do the same backbreaking work as ordinary humans? You've even mingled with a filthy servant of darkness! You are a disgrace to the giants of light!"
Dharam had just put down a huge rock when he heard this, and his temper flared up instantly.
"Kalfa, shut your mouth! It's none of your business what I'm doing! When you landed just now, you damaged the foundation I just laid, number three. Do you know how much effort I put into reinforcing that foundation?!"
"Shut up, you crude brute." Karfa glanced coldly at Darram, then fixed his gaze on the small rock at the bottom of the pit. "A monster is a monster, a cancer left on Earth by Gatanothor. The first rule of the Guard's safety regulations is that any Dark Familiar encountered must be eliminated on the spot. Not only do you not kill it, but you let it linger here?"
Karfa slowly raised his right hand, and blinding rays of destruction began to gather in his palm.
"Since you can't bring yourselves to it, then I'll clean up this mess for the garrison. And that alien standing on the rock, colluding with the monster, execute him too!"
Before he finished speaking, a blazing white beam of light shot out from Karfa's hand, aimed directly at Xiaoyan and Kaul at the bottom of the pit!
"Kalfa! Are you crazy?!" Tiga's expression changed drastically. He never expected that Karfa, a fellow member of the guard regiment, would disregard the safety of humans and civilians and directly use a deadly beam at the construction site.
Just as Tiga was about to transform and raise his shield, Kaul's voice rang out in everyone's ears first.
"Tiga, don't move! Let him shoot!"
Kaul stood on the rock, facing the destructive beam of light that could destroy mountains, his face showing no panic, but rather an extremely cunning sneer.
"Trying to play these tricks on me? Xiao Yan, step to the left, cover your head, crouch! Zetton Barrier, adjust the angle by thirty degrees!"
Under Reionics's absolute mental connection, Little Rock at the bottom of the pit reacted with extreme speed. This monster, which usually looked rather clumsy, was now like an extremely agile fat man.
Instead of taking a hard line, it smoothly took a large step to the left, while holding its large head with both hands, creating a thin, transparent polygonal barrier on its body surface.
Karfa's destructive ray grazed Xiaoyan's body and struck the barrier. Because Kaul had deliberately adjusted the barrier's angle, the ray wasn't completely blocked; instead, it was refracted!
