But this wasn’t over yet.

Just as Otto was about to turn around and look elsewhere, the Light Giant he thought he had defeated surprisingly stood up again.

After being cut in half by Otto’s spray weapon, the lower half of the Light Giant remained standing, while the struggling upper half grabbed onto its own legs.

Subsequently, the upper half turned into a fluid and quickly merged with its lower half.

In no time, the missing upper half of the giant’s body regrew rapidly as it writhed.

It looked no different than before, except for maybe a slightly smaller size.

Various signs indicated that this Light Giant seemed to have no physical body, but was purely an energy construct.

The regenerated Light Giant didn’t immediately attack Otto. Instead, it looked at him with a certain degree of fear.

This surprised Otto a little, as it seemed like the giant had been scared by his attack.

So, he cautiously took two steps towards the creature.

At the same time, the Light Giant retreated several steps, its face expressing fear as it covered its eyes with both hands.

Judging from its childlike expression, Otto inexplicably felt like it was an immature child.

Hmm, a child over ten meters tall

Suddenly, Otto noticed a White-Robed Spellcaster squatting in the corner with his arms wrapped around his knees, appearing to be in a state of self-imposed isolation.

From his trembling body, it was clear that the man was terrified.

Among the brave and seemingly fanatic white army, he was an unusual presence.

Although Otto didn’t know how he had managed to dodge his attacks, it wasn’t important.

If Otto wanted to kill this guy now, he could just toss a few Acid Balls at him.

But he didn’t do that. Instead, he walked over slowly and pinched the man between two claws, holding him in front of his eyes.

“No, please don’t kill me!”

Under Otto’s disgusted gaze, the man began to beg for mercy without any dignity, and even his lower body became wet.

“You  ”

Seeing the man like this, Otto’s mouth twitched, and he casually threw him to the ground.

Fortunately, nothing unclean was stuck to his claws.

Staring at the White-Robed Spellcaster, who seemed to be on the verge of falling apart, Otto asked coldly, “Kid, what’s your name?”

The fool was obviously scared witless, remaining silent for a long time and providing no answer.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Otto extended his claws towards him, and several tiny arcs of electricity jumped between them.

Though they were weak and posed little threat, they were painful

When the arcs exploded on the kid, he could no longer remain silent, immediately leaping up with a cry of alarm.

Then, he found himself face-to-face with Otto’s enormous crimson eyes, his own body quivering with fear.

“So, can you speak now?”

By now, Otto was getting impatient. If the boy still couldn’t muster up a response, he felt like crushing him.

Luckily, when he saw that Otto’s gaze grew increasingly unfriendly, the boy finally spoke weakly.

“I   My name is Johnny  ”

A very ordinary name, one that could be found in virtually any town.

“Alright, Johnny.”

Finally able to converse, Otto turned his gaze back to the Light Giant, who still hadn’t made any special moves.

Concerning this Lauren underground city, he still had many questions to ask the youth before him.

“First off, tell me, what is that?”

Johnny looked in the direction Otto was pointing, spotting the shining Light Giant.

His expression changed from reverence to fear and even to anger.

“Answer me!”

Otto didn’t care about his emotional changes, and his voice was full of murderous intent.

“A god! It’s a god!”

Frightened by Otto, Johnny immediately replied.

“God? Really?”

Otto was clearly skeptical.

After all, he had met real gods before.

Even Rose, who was attached to his split body, seemed more formidable than this Light Giant.

Well, this one might be a bit more resilient

“Alright, alright  ”

Otto waved his claw helplessly and continued, “Let’s just say it’s a god for now, shall we? So, Johnny, tell me about, um   your god?”

Although Otto had clearly shown his disdain for the boy’s faith, what could he do about it now?

And, this god of his didn’t seem all that powerful

Johnny clenched his fists and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart. Soon, he forced a grin that was uglier than a cry.

At this moment, he felt relieved.

Everything pointed to the fact that the god he believed in was not as omnipotent and powerful as he was taught.

“His name is Lauren, the God of Light and Hope  ”

Johnny’s tone no longer held any reverence, but Otto didn’t concern himself with that.

God of Light and Hope, Lauren?

After thinking for a long time, Otto still couldn’t recall encountering this name before.

Also, he stared fiercely at the so-called God of Light and Hope, who retreated like a frightened chick, finally covering his head and squatting on the ground, seemingly afraid of Otto attacking him again.

Moreover, based on the change in his demeanor, he was more like an immature child than anything else.

Through Johnny’s subsequent explanation, Otto had a rough idea of the backstory.

Long ago, this underground city wasn’t called Lauren’s City. At that time, it was just like any other city, with streets full of different races and merchants.

One day, the city’s lord struck a pure white statue while digging underground.

At first, he used the beautifully carved statue as a decoration in his courtyard. But soon, he became obsessed and declared that he had been chosen by the God of Light and Hope.

He quickly expelled all unrelated personnel from the city, and the underground city began to transform into its current form.

It was worth mentioning that the so-called lord was indeed the miserable White-Robed Elder who had died earlier.
