Mitsuo Itabashi could understand the magician's desire to cover up the incident, but he could not tolerate the magician's unilateral actions.
"Since you enjoy courting death, then you might as well sacrifice yourself completely for my god!"
Realizing that the situation was hopeless, Mitsuo Itabashi decisively launched a mental shockwave toward Gedi's location.
Silence!
Unlike the magician's previous mental attacks, Mitsuo Itabashi's attacks were more ferocious and more unpredictable.
Apart from a fellow Kiriel magician who noticed the mental shock, no one else knew of Mitsuo Itabashi's existence.
【Do not! 】
The desperate magician screamed again, this time even more violently than before.
Because Mitsuo Itabashi's mental attack was not aimed at Gedi, but at the magician who was deep within Gedi's consciousness.
The Kiriel are formless and intangible spiritual beings.
Therefore, they can influence living beings in the material world through possession, descent, and other means, thereby dominating human actions.
However, this does not mean that the Kiriel are without weaknesses.
Besides being affected by mental attacks, Kiriel people also need to be careful to maintain the independence of their own personalities when possessing or descending into other creatures.
Especially when it affects Gaddy, whose level of life is vastly different from their own.
A magician can easily become the victim's mental food if he is not careful.
Mitsuo Itabashi's attack amplified the dark side of the magician's inner self, making her unable to maintain her own personality and completely merge into Gedi's ocean of consciousness.
"Ouch!"
Affected by this, the originally docile Gaddi suddenly let out a fierce roar, and his eyes turned blood red.

Chapter 39 Giant Stone Statue
"I knew things wouldn't be that simple!"
The moment Lu Xuan saw that Gedi's eyes were bloodshot, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
The monster guarding the black pyramid has clearly gone berserk, and the culprit is most likely the dark figure from before.
"go!"
Grabbing Daigo's arm, Lu Xuan quickly activated the invisibility function of the force field generator on the other's body.
Lu Xuan is now extremely grateful that, due to the Dessimus alien incident, he had already carried out a large-scale upgrade and modification of the force field generator.
In addition to the most basic functional enhancements.
The force field generator can now also synchronously make objects within ten cubic meters invisible and defend against them through contact sensing.
Of course, the cost of doing this is that the energy of the force field generator will increase exponentially, and the duration of invisibility and defense will be greatly reduced.
However, under the current circumstances, Lu Xuan felt that every second counted, and thinking too much would be disrespectful to his own life.
"Ouch!"
Just as Lu Xuan had predicted, almost the instant he and Daigo disappeared, Gedi let out another sharp howl like a wolf.
Amidst that piercing howl, Gaddy pounced at a speed disproportionate to his size, rapidly heading towards the spot where Lu Xuan and the others had disappeared.
boom!
Another earth-shaking tremor reverberated throughout the underground world.
Unfortunately, in his rampage, Gedi lost his greatest advantage.
Having lost his mind, Gedi couldn't understand why Lu Xuan and the others had suddenly disappeared.
Thus, the enraged Gedi could only vent his anger through violence, wantonly destroying the huge stone pillars around him, fully demonstrating the meaning of the word "demon hound".
......................................................................................................
"Now how to do?"
As Lu Xuan dragged him along the underground temple, Daigu, panting heavily, asked in a low voice.
For an ordinary person, everything that happened today was far too exciting.
A dark underworld, mysterious ancient pyramids, monsters guarding ancient ruins...
After experiencing these things, it's hard for anyone to maintain a calm and composed mindset.
Daigo's ability to maintain his thinking ability is already far beyond that of ordinary people.
In this situation, it would be asking Daigo to think about how to deal with the current crisis, which would be too much to ask.
"Daigo, it seems you still need more training!"
Even though a rampaging monster was roaring not far away, Lu Xuan remained remarkably calm.
After temporarily escaping Gedi's wrath, he even had the mind to tease Daigo about his performance.
Because compared to the "Ultraman" that Lu Xuan remembered, Daigo's current performance was indeed much inferior.
It's worth noting that Daigo in the TV series always remains calm and collected under any circumstances.
Whether it's a routine plane crash or a monster attack...
No matter how critical the situation, Daigo rarely showed fear, let alone let his inner fear affect his thinking and actions.
"You idiot! This isn't about whether you exercise or not!"
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's teasing, Daigo, whose mind had gone blank, instinctively retorted.
However, for some reason, while verbally refuting him, Daigo inexplicably calmed down deep inside.
It seems that Daigo doesn't have to worry about any danger by being around this strange alien; he can just wait for the alien to bring out all sorts of amazing gadgets.
"Don't worry, I've already called the Gailvin."
"If we just hold on a little longer, it will teleport the imaginary elevator to us, and then we can go back."
As Lu Xuan said this, he also intentionally or unintentionally shook the wristwatch on his wrist.
On the watch face, there is a prominent five-minute countdown, which is the time for the imaginary elevator to reposition and teleport.
"That's good!"
Only then did Daigo finally let out a long sigh of relief.
But he immediately realized what was happening.
The countdown on the wristwatch meant that the two of them had to stay in this monster-running area for another five minutes.
Realizing this, Daigo suddenly looked up and stared ahead.
Or to be more precise, Daigo was looking at the black pyramid that was getting closer and closer.
"Wait, what are you planning to do?!"
As the two of them got closer and closer to the black pyramid, Daigo, who already guessed what Lu Xuan was going to do, was immediately terrified.
"Of course, we should avoid that rampaging monster!"
Although Lu Xuan's tone remained calm, Daigu seemed to detect a hint of amusement and excitement in it.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
"Besides, don't you want to see what the giants of the ancient times actually looked like?"
"No! I don't want to see it!"
He shook his head decisively to indicate his denial. Daigo instinctively wanted to stop Lu Xuan's next move, but sadly found that he couldn't break free from the other's grasp.
Despite having the appearance of a ten-year-old child, Lu Xuan was stronger than himself, an adult.
So Daigo could only watch helplessly as he got closer and closer to the black pyramid, closer and closer to the black pyramid wall that Gedi had pushed down.
In a daze, Daigo once again experienced some kind of illusion.
Those forgotten ancient memories resurfaced, and this time Daigo finally saw the terrifying images in those memories clearly.
The colossal pyramids, the earth-shattering roars of giant beasts, the terrifying rumbles echoing from the depths of the earth…
Although the image in my memory bears no resemblance to the black pyramid before me.
But Daigo instinctively realized that the scene in his memory was also an ancient ruin.
Unfortunately, before Daigo could even ponder why he had these memories, Lu Xuan had already pulled him to the side of the black pyramid near him.
At the breach that Gedi forcibly broke through, collapsed murals and broken ruins are everywhere.
Lu Xuan and Da Gu could only painstakingly bypass those "roads" that could hardly be called roads.
Try to choose relatively flat terrain to proceed.
By the time Daigo came to his senses again, he and Lu Xuan had already officially entered the interior of the black pyramid.
To Daigo's surprise, the internal structure of the black pyramid was not as complex as he had imagined; in fact, it was surprisingly simple.
In the flat and vast space, there was only one huge staircase, and standing on that staircase was a magnificent stone statue of a giant.
"Is He... a giant?"
Chapter 40 The Resurrected Giant (New book, please read!)
"Is He... a giant?"
Standing blankly at the foot of the massive stone steps, Daigo and Lu Xuan simultaneously looked up at the towering giant statue.
This giant stone statue is about fifty or sixty meters tall, and every detail of its body is so lifelike that it is hard to believe that it is just a stone statue.
"He is the giant in the mural, the warrior from the ancient times."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lu Xuan, who was the first to come to his senses, nodded in affirmation of Daigu's statement.
"Speaking of which, do you feel a strange sense of familiarity with this giant stone statue?"
Gently covering his chest, Lu Xuan could clearly sense the light particles within his body becoming active, and his superpowers seemed to have been enhanced as well.
"You feel that way too?"
After recovering from the shock, Daigo realized that what he had just experienced was not his imagination.
Not only did he feel an inexplicable affinity for the giant stone statue, but the alien next to him also felt the same way.
"It seems my previous guess was correct..."
Lu Xuan glanced discreetly at the watch on his arm and noticed that the genetic sequence symbolizing "humanity" was collapsing and recombining.
Just like when I transformed into the "Giant of Light".
However, compared to that time, this time the constantly collapsing and recombinating gene sequences seem to have received some kind of guidance, forming a more stable and orderly structure.
"What speculation?"
Not knowing what Lu Xuan was thinking, Daigu asked with a surprised look.
"Do you remember what I said before?"
"These giants left their bodies on Earth so that later civilizations would have the strength to fight against the darkness."
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Daigu immediately nodded, as he remembered the origins of this underground temple very clearly.
"Have you ever thought about how these giant stone statues are supposed to fight?"
Upon hearing this, Daigo immediately fell silent.
As Lu Xuan uttered those words, countless memories seemed to flash through Daigo's mind, but he was unable to capture the most crucial fragments.
"How...should they fight?"
Half doubt, half bewilderment...
Daigo felt like he knew the answer, but he wasn't sure if it was just another illusion.
"Light!"
