"Back to the topic at hand, after her failure with the Titans, Gaia seemed to have learned a lesson. She then created a subrace similar to the Titans called the Giants. They might not have any control over elements, yet they were tied closely to Gaia by blood."
"They are a race of physical fighters void of magic and are far larger than any of us, even able to directly channel the power of Gaia through their bodies to greatly enhance themselves. Fortunately, Gaia did not have enough power leftover to make them perfect, so they have great difficulty reproducing."
Beelzebub sneered. "Otherwise, those filthy cretins would have long been cleared out of their beloved Elysium."
Gluttworm, who had been silent all this while, spoke in a voice so deep that it was like gravel grinding against each other. "But then how can a Half-blood attain such power?"
"Good question young Devourer. Probably due to their low number Giants have resorted to crossbreed with many races and found that the humans had the best genetics to carry on their race."
"Since humans have no special bloodline power or presence apart from having a genetic code that can merge with any other, it is usually shafted to the side in their offspring, allowing races with tough reproduction to find a way to continue on without losing all of their prowess." Beelzebub began explaining.
"Hmm, however the Giants inherited the traits of Gaia. Specifically, her foolishness. They believe that children born of humans are evil, as one of the main contributors to the declination of Gaia's sanctity was humankind, while humans also form the majority of those who believe in the 'Gods', providing them faith and power."
"And so, they were needed for reproduction, but despised because of their actions and nature. This made them a necessary evil in the eyes of the Giants. Can any of you guess how such offspring would be treated by the race upon birth?" Beelzebub asked with an amused smile.
"Like trash." Spidersin replied curtly.
"That is correct. Well, putting their abuse aside, this created resentment in the half-giants specifically bred from humans, but ironically the half-giants were those among the half-breeds who had the easiest time channeling Gaia's power." Beelzebub continued.
"And that leads us to this specific matter. A half-giant at the Grandmaster stage who channels extremely pure energy from Gaia would be about as strong as the weakest God. That is why I said that any of you who confront him would be snapped in half with ease."
The Insect Lords looked between each other with dismay. So did that mean that there was no hope for them to overcome this enemy?
"As for the Dragon…" Beelzebub began, his expression becoming grave as the amusement left.
"I don't have any doubt, he's the strongest among the trio. If Spidersin is right and he contains the blood of the Ancestor Dragon, then we are in a very critical situation. The Ancestor Dragon is a being whose power is even above us True Lords of Faust, an extraterrestrial that was brought here from outside Faust by the creator for purposes unknown."
"It has never interfered with matters on Faust, because its power is too great for even itself to handle. It even lives high in the sky, almost in outer space since its movement alone could cause calamities of apocalyptic proportions to the land."
"In essence, anything with the slightest bit of his traits is bound to be very hard to deal with. The Ancestor Dragon is known for his perfect ability to control magic, the elements, and more importantly, his regeneration that borders on immortality."
"That is why I said that it would be difficult to kill such a fellow, even if all of you somehow subdued him and ate his flesh for years on end. Not to mention that going against him, holds the risk of provoking the Ancestor Dragon into action."
"Should it come to that, regardless of how we handle things, death and destruction would rain down upon us." Beelzebub revealed seriously. "In fact, the entire continent would probably disappear if he were to act."
At this point, an air of despair fell over the Insect Lords. They were completely lost, their previous enthusiasm to deal with the foes and share the meat gone. Right now, they were regretting their previous ignorance and fearing what would have become of them without their ancestor's advice.
"However…" Beelzebub began slowly.
Then to the shock of the Insect Lords, a drop of saliva leaked from the proboscis of the Lord of the Flies.
"Things are different. No matter how the Elves, Giants, or Dragons feel, we have never attacked them nor have we provoked them in any way. Rather, it was their people who have attacked us first and we are only acting ins elf-defense."
"If I can just taste the flesh and blood of that Ancestor Dragon coming down, I might be able to recover from these ancient injuries and restore my power. By that time, I would be able to secure the lives of our race even if the Ancestor Dragon himself were to appear!"
The other Insect Lords started to become restless as they all began drooling as well, their hunger ignited. Even Spidersin trembled, his usually controlled and suppressed hunger released by the words of the ancestor.
"The flesh of the Half-Giant and the Elf can be shared between you all. It should greatly increase your powers and also allow you to spawn new queens of all ranks within your class. However, the flesh of the dragon is mine!" Beelzebub declared powerfully.
"B-But My Lord, we still might not be able to take them down in this case…" Spidersin reminded as he beat back his hunger and let sense return to him.
This seemed to shake the others out of their craziness as they remembered the whole point of their ancestor awakening and speaking so much to them.
Beelzebub nodded. "That is true, it would be exceedingly tough for you all to fight against any one of these three alone if their power is anything like I suspect…"
The entire room shook as Beelzebub, for the first time in hundreds of years, shook his body into motion.
"That is why this time, I will act as well. It is time to remind the world of my power."
