Chapter 300 First Meeting with Loki

The scene shifts, and Kyle finds himself at the heart of Elbaf's underworld.

A colossal Adam rose from the ground and stretched to the sky.

The Underworld, also known as the "First World" or the "World Where the Sun Died," is the lowest level of Elbaf's three-layered structure, surrounding the roots and base of the Tree of Adam, and is perpetually shrouded in darkness.

It was always gloomy and gray, with extremely low-hanging clouds, like a giant boulder pressing down on our heads.

The sunlight was completely blocked by the branches and leaves of the giant trees above, with only a faint, cold light falling through the gaps in the clouds, appearing as a deathly white.

Looking up slightly, he saw a blizzard and hail falling from the sky, but the blizzard and hail turned to dust before they even touched Kyle.

Looking at the giant Adam Tree in front of him, Kyle was actually a little curious.

Who was older, Adam or Eve?

Eve is the giant tree in the Sabaody Archipelago, the one on Fishman Island.

She is also known as the Sun Tree Eve.

The sunlight on the deserted island is all supplied by Eve.

Kyle had visited Eve before, and now, comparing her to Adam, it's hard to say which of the two trees is bigger.

All I can say are exaggerated claims.

But that's beside the point; his main objective this time...

Kyle looked ahead, and even though he was still some distance from the Adam Tree, he could clearly see the huge figure tied to it.

Kyle took a step into the void, and the next second his figure exploded into countless purple lightning bolts, which shot to the figure in less than a second.

Looking up, what came into view was a tall, slender figure with long, light pink hair, two braids in front and messy hair at the back.

He wore a dark, wide-brimmed helmet with two upright horns, the left horn wrapped in cloth; his eyes were bandaged, his nose was covered with a metal plate, he had red tattoos on his arms, and he had a pointed goatee.

A colossal giant dressed in Viking-style black clothing, paired with a purple fur-trimmed cloak and a crown-patterned belt.

Why is "giant" added before "giant"?

That's because the giant in front of him is the largest giant Kyle has ever seen.

It was on a completely different scale from the ordinary giants he had seen before.

But for him, it was all the same, there wasn't much difference.

And this giant is precisely the target of Kyle's recruitment mission: Loki, the cursed prince of the giant race.

The strongest Titan in Elbaf at present.

He was far superior to his brother Haldin.

Kyle made no attempt to conceal his presence, so Loki quickly noticed his arrival.

Loki raised his head slightly, his eyes were bandaged, so it was impossible to tell whether he had opened them or not.

But Kyle could sense it.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Loki's lips, and his tongue darted out, curling around with an air of arrogance.

Then, Loki's booming voice rang out:

"Who goes there? State your name!"

As he spoke, a wave of sound rolled in, and a terrifying aura swept over them.

Kyle's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly:

"Navy, Kyle!"

"Kyle?!!"

Loki's voice suddenly rose, tinged with doubt.

Of course, the question wasn't about Kyle's identity, but rather why Kyle was here.

He was naturally familiar with Kyle, but only with the Kyle from three years ago.

Because he has been imprisoned here for a full three years.

I am not very familiar with what has happened recently.

But even just three years ago, Kyle's reputation was already incredibly strong.

At least he was not as good as he was back then.

As for his strength, although he is confident enough in himself, he is probably no match for Kyle.

After all, the red-haired guy who defeated him was once beaten quite badly by Kyle.

and so……

Now we're back to the question we just discussed.

Why did Kyle come looking for him, and how did he know he was here?

After a moment's thought, Loki banished those thoughts from his mind, then turned his gaze to Kyle and sneered:

"Speak! What do you want, you lackeys of the World Government?"

"I'll speak first. I have nothing to say to you bunch of World Government lackeys!"

"So, if you want anything from me or want me to do something for you, then don't bother asking!"

"Because that's impossible!"

"I have an irreconcilable hatred for the World Government, so I have absolutely no respect for the Navy, who are their lackeys!"

"If you want to kill me, then go ahead! If I even flinch, I'll be disgracing the Sun God!"

Loki's words were full of arrogance. Even though he was imprisoned and Kyle could easily kill him, he showed no fear whatsoever.

He's the sun god, why would he be afraid of something like this?

Are you kidding me?!

"Oh? The sun god?!"

Kyle chuckled softly.

"But I remember the sun god is Nika, isn't he?"

"When did the sun god become Nidhogg?"

"Or do you think you're the inheritor of Joy Boy's will? That's why you call yourself the Sun God?!"

!!!

Upon hearing this, Loki's breath hitched. Although he couldn't see Loki's eyes, Kyle knew that Loki must be extremely shocked.

After all, not many people know the name Joy Boy!

Sure enough, upon hearing Kyle's words, Loki instinctively tried to get up, but the thick seastone chains binding him tightly held him in place.

Even when pulled with tremendous force, there was no sign of it breaking free.

"How do you know the name Joy Boy?!"

Loki's tone was urgent and shocked.

He had never heard anyone mention this name while he was at sea, just as recorded on the stone tablets of their giant race.

Joy Boy's existence was erased by the World Government.

They knew this because it was a secret passed down through generations of their giant race.

Nika, the sun god, will be the one to save the world and lead people out of suffering.

The previous Nika was Joy Boy.

Legend has it that in a more distant past, there was a first generation of Nikas, the first Nika, and Joy Boy was the second Nika.

Both of Nika's appearances caused great upheaval in the world, and both times the world order was reshaped.

That's how it was with the first Nika, and it's the same with the second Nika, Joy Boy.

More than 800 years ago, the world's sea level was not as high as it is today. After that earth-shattering battle more than 800 years ago, the sea level was raised by tens of meters, causing many islands to be swallowed by the sea.

It became part of the sea.

It is said that the two sides in that battle were Joy Boy and the people who were the predecessors of the current World Government.

Unfortunately, the second-generation sun god Joy Boy ultimately failed.

Then, a world government was established, gradually evolving into the world structure we see today.

and so--

He wants to become the sun god, he wants to become the one who overthrows the world government!!

Since others can't do it, then he will rewrite the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall structure, and overall structure).
