However, according to Sika's account, the strongest warriors of the Dark Country could only rival monsters around fifty meters tall, roughly equivalent to Nightmare One Star in strength.

Sika, as the princess with the purest dark bloodline, absorbs dark energy at a speed far beyond the average citizen of the Dark Country, yet her strength is only around Vajra Eighth Star.

Of course, the categorization of strength here is quite rudimentary, generally divided into Level 1 Warriors and Level 2 Warriors.

The Dark Country's strongest two Level 5 Warriors possess the strength of Unbreakable Realm One Star.

For humans here, once they advance to the Unbreakable Realm through dark energy, their strength nearly hits the ceiling.

Without detailed research, Qin Shou couldn't guess the exact reason.

"Beep... Warning, Warning, detected..."

Suddenly, the red lights inside the spaceship flashed urgently, the alarm blared halfway before a massive burst of light energy shattered the external defensive shield. Sparks erupted within the control room as the spacecraft, assaulted by external forces, plummeted to the ground, trailing black smoke.

"Ah... No! It's an ambush from the Land of Light!"

"Damn it, those bastards are attacking us again..."

"Protect the princess!"

The spaceship shook violently, the passengers stumbled and fell, unable to keep their footing. All they could do was shout slogans about protecting the princess without taking any substantial action.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, everyone heard a beast's roar resounding in their ears. The spaceship was enveloped in a golden light and abruptly stopped shaking.

Outside the ship, the greedy snake gently lowered the spacecraft to the ground, with Qin Shou standing with hands clasped behind his back on its dragon head.

"Sssshhhh..."

Another beam of extreme light shot in from the distance, its familiar light energy stirring unease in Qin Shou's heart.

"Roar!!"

The greedy snake's three dragon heads unleashed golden lightning, effortlessly intercepting the blazing beam of light.

Afterwards, Sika hurriedly dashed out of the spaceship's hatch, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"Warrior, those are soldiers of the Land of Light. Be cautious."

Qin Shou nodded slightly, his gaze in the distance flashing with peculiar intent.

That was... the Light Giant!

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

As the earth quaked violently, a giant shimmering with faint light rampaged through the buildings, steadily advancing towards the greedy snake.

In the small city, a team of Dark Soldiers quickly gathered, wielding weapons forged from specialized minerals, channeling dark energy as they attacked the giant.

"Hahaha, despicable dark ants, let the Light God save your souls!"

The giant laughed maniacally, punching out as blazing light energy transformed into spherical waves that tore through the environment. Buildings exploded, and dozens of Dark Soldiers were instantly vaporized by the onslaught.

"What is this? Is this giant from the Land of Light?"

"Impossible! If the Land of Light had this kind of weapon, the continent would've been unified under them long ago..."

"Run to the Royal City! Report this to the King..."

"Hurry..."

In the blink of an eye, the remaining Dark Soldiers retreated hastily, while the giant showed no interest in pursuing them.

Ants, merely toys.

The giant smirked and turned its gaze to the greedy snake, whose size dwarfed its own by several times.

The light energy surging within gave it boundless confidence.

A colossal monster like this—once in a century!

"Boom, boom..."

The giant sneered viciously, then suddenly broke into a sprint, leaping high into the air. With its massive weight of tens of thousands of tons, it aimed to crush the greedy snake, transforming into a blazing light sphere as it descended.

"Roar!!"

Unwilling to back down, the greedy snake took flight, creating a golden storm that transformed into a massive golden thunderball to confront the descending light sphere.

"Boom!!!"

A startling shockwave erupted in the sky, fierce winds howled across the land, scattering countless buildings as increasingly violent gales tore through. A warm, radiant green light bathed the ground, providing a refuge for the humans of the small city.

Bathed in the green radiance, Qin Shou held Groot in his arms, gazing at the battle between the greedy snake and the Light Giant, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Qin Shou could confirm that this giant stone statue was created by him.

But why did the giant stone statue appear here?

Could it be...

Suddenly, Qin Shou recalled that statement from the Void just before its death.

Perhaps... the "regret" the Void mentioned wasn't referring to the transmission array.

Instead, was there another Spine Gu here?

The Dark Country referred to the Dark Spine Eater as the Dark Demon God.

And where there is a Dark Spine Eater, there must naturally be a Light Energy Devouring Spine Gu.

Surely, the so-called Land of Light must also have Spine Gu present.

Before its death, the Void's plan might have been to have the Spine Gu on the Land of Light's side seek revenge for it.

Upon realizing this possibility, Qin Shou was delighted.

Plenty of beings thirsted for revenge against him—what's a Spine Gu amount to?

What truly concerned him was the potential existence of a transmission array leading to Earth within the Land of Light!

Looking once more at the Light Giant battling the greedy snake in the sky, Qin Shou's hand emitted a faint glow as he clasped a golden Divine Light Stick.

As the faint light flickered, he sensed over a dozen other giant stone statues existing on the other side of this continent.

Most of these stone statues were in the Earth's Core World, part of the batch he had given to Qin Wen.

He hadn't paid much attention to the whereabouts of the giant stone statues before, leading to their current possession by the Spine Gu...

Narrowing his eyes, Qin Shou questioned whether Qin Wen might be involved...

No, he probably wasn't.

After receiving the giant stone statues, Qin Wen distributed them as rewards to the outstanding students of the Beast Cultivation Main City, enhancing their strength and providing them with life-saving properties.

After all, possessing a "Human Form" means having an additional life.

For the Spine Gu to acquire these statues would not have been easy.

But if the Spine Gu involved had abilities akin to the Void, then managing to retrieve the statues from their holders wasn't entirely impossible.

Shaking his head, Qin Shou discarded these thoughts.

The Land of Light and the Dark Country were the two most powerful nations on this continent, their strengths evenly matched. Even if a Level 5 Light Energy Warrior transformed into a giant, their utmost strength would only be equivalent to Unbreakable Realm Three Stars—insufficient to achieve a stalemate with the Nightmare Seven Stars greedy snake.

Two possibilities remained.

The first was that the Spine Gu supporting the Land of Light had modified the light-energy humans to enhance their strength.

The second was that the light-dark humans here possessed special boosts related to the giant stone statues!

Only through experiments could the ultimate conclusion be reached.

Qin Shou stroked his chin and suddenly turned his focus to Sika, who was nervously watching the ongoing battle beside him.

"Sika, the emergence of giants in the Land of Light spells grave danger for the Dark Country. If you wish to save your people, you'll have to rely on yourself," Qin Shou said aloud.

Sika's face tensed further upon hearing this.

"Warrior, what... what do you mean?"

Qin Shou patted Sika's shoulder, his expression solemn.

"You are the Princess of the Dark Country. There are things that only you can do. This Light Giant—only you can defeat it!"

"I... I... I can't do it..."

Sika's face filled with panic, desperately clinging to Qin Shou's sleeve. Pleading, she said: "Warrior, I can't do it. Please, I beg you..."

Qin Shou tightened his grip, and Sika's shoulder throbbed with pain, causing her to cry out and release his sleeve.

"Ah... It hurts..."

Sika's face turned pale, desolation filling her heart.

The emergence of the Light Giant, and the man's sudden reluctance to help—it was unfathomable.

Given the hostility of the Land of Light toward the Dark Country, millions of citizens of the Dark Country would surely face slaughter.

She couldn't believe, nor could she accept, such an outcome.

However, the next words from Qin Shou ignited a glimmer of hope within her.

"Sika, didn't you say I could give you a new name?" Qin Shou suddenly said.

Sika's beautiful eyes lit up with excitement. "Warrior, do you... Is that what you mean...?"

Qin Shou nodded, and a golden device shaped similar to the Divine Light Stick appeared in his hand.

Unlike the Divine Light Stick, this golden device had intricately hollowed wings, sharp-edged contours, with the wings framing a diamond-shaped crystal imbued with an eerie aura.

"Sika, believe in yourself. You can do it," Qin Shou said firmly, handing the golden device to Sika.

She's the perfect test subject.

Sika's face grew flushed with excitement as she shakily accepted the golden device into her trembling palms.

She had witnessed Qin Shou use a similar device to transform into a giant; she knew what this was.

"Warrior... such a precious treasure... you're gifting it to me?" Sika's eyes revealed disbelief.

Why would he do this?

Could it be...

Qin Shou nodded. "Indeed, Princess. Your compassionate heart for the people of the Dark Country has moved me, and I am willing to help this one last time!"

"Thank you... Warrior... No, thank you, Qin Shou."

Sika's cheeks flushed red as she gazed intently at Qin Shou. Then, under the watchful eyes of countless Dark Country citizens, she turned and held the golden device aloft, her gaze turning resolute.

He's right, as the princess of the Dark Country, there are some matters she must confront herself!

"Sssshhhh..."

In a split second, black thunder erupted from the diamond-shaped crystal, and the previously cloudless sky roared with stormy winds. Dark energy gathered en masse, blanketing the heavens and shrouding the land.

"From now on, I am... Camilla!"

Flooded with information about giants, a smile graced Sika's lips as she whispered.
