Chapter 925: Chapter 925

According to the contract, Du You could now modify the terrain. Taking out the Terrain Modifier, Du You used up the last opportunity. In an instant, he could feel the terrain within the entire extent of his territory.

Following the design scheme he had long thought out, Du You, without any hesitation, began to alter the surrounding land.

The original mountains gradually lowered in height, mountain ranges that blocked paths all but vanished, and the ground became flat and solid, compressed into a surface even harder than ordinary rocks. This was to prevent Land Giants from stealthily tunnelling in.

The message from War God Academy came long ago, stating that once the density of the earth was compressed to a certain extent, Land Giants would no longer be able to pass through it. Despite their powerful innate abilities, Giants are still Giants, their size too great.

The comprehensive compression resulted in a significant reduction in the altitude of the entire territory, but this was not a problem, it was actually beneficial.

Otherwise, if their territory was atop a mountain, even with steps to assist, climbing up and down would be very troublesome. Now, the height of the territory has dropped to a third of its original height.

Although this height is still close to a mile, to a Professional, it is nothing more than a small hill.

The gaps on either side were opened up directly, forming a wide-open gate with huge steps that extended straight to both sides of the peak. When the time came, one would simply need to follow the steps to enter the belly of the Flame Giants.

The surrounding Ice Towers, flickering with astonishing cold light, previously seemed somewhat meaningless, were now all placed in crucial positions.

Du You also fixed up the interior of the basin, flattening the ground considerably. The originally concave central area, unfit for construction, was now leveled. The steep slopes around it had been reworked by Du You into sharp, sheer drops.

Even if the Giants tried to scale the wall from there, they would surely fall to their near death.

In front, facing the interior of the Flame Giants’ domain, a semi-circular wall rose up, sheltering the steps behind it. The wall, reaching over 260 feet in height, was not something the Giants could climb over.

The original Ice Towers around it, as pillars were erected, offered all-around protection to the wall. Though the wall was rough, it was very broad on top, able to accommodate many people.

From the edge of the steps, two stone bridges connected directly to the wall.

Those within the territory could only leave by going around the back of the wall, and Giants could only circle in from this place. As for how to protect these areas, whether to build gates or not, that was not something he needed to consider. Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

The two sisters immediately ordered the craftsmen of their territory to inscribe Runes on the massive wall. Their own Rune City Wall, though it was only intended for use on tier two walls, was still better than nothing when inscribed.

By now, the changes in the territory had essentially reached their peak.

Just at that moment, Du You’s expression shifted as he looked towards the east side of the territory. Below the ground, Du You sensed something special. Thinking of this, Du You used the last of his ability to change the terrain on it.

A hidden cavern appeared, with long steps within that led to that special spot.

After the Terrain Modifier disappeared, Du You called over the two sisters and headed towards that special underground point.

"Unexpectedly, there exists something so special here, unknown what it is, we couldn’t even sense it on our own, and only discovered it upon contact. This object, it cannot be moved at all."

Previously, Du You wanted to use the Terrain Modifier to drag this object over, but found it utterly impossible, which piqued Du You’s curiosity. Something that could resist this special equipment was surely no trifling matter.

Moreover, this object possessed no life; Du You could sense it was merely an inanimate thing.

When the three arrived, they finally saw clearly what it was. Inside a huge underground space, there lay a massive stone at least ten feet in size. Indeed, on the surface, it appeared to be just a stone.

"Look quickly, this, it looks like a bust," suddenly Lin Yushi exclaimed.

"It does resemble one, but why has it turned out this way?" Lin Yucha said with a puzzled expression.

This bust was over ten feet high, one can only imagine how large the statue was initially, or it might have been just a bust all along. However, peculiarly, this huge bust had no facial features.

No ears, no eyeballs, just two holes. Where the nose should have been, it was flat, as if it had been sliced off. The mouth was simply a large hole; no wonder they hadn’t recognized what this was at first.

Whoever the original owner of this statue was, to have it turned into this state, must have inspired great hatred. The rest of the statue was intact, the entire figure exceedingly hard, not something that could be damaged by ordinary means. So, this state was certainly intentional, and the only intelligent beings in this world were the Giants.

As Du You approached, a notification popped up on his panel.

Would you like to spend 10,000 Crystal Coins to install the Giant bust in your territory?

"I didn’t expect this to be a territory equipment, although I didn’t react when I felt it before, only when I touched it did I get a reaction, which is really strange." This was Du You’s first encounter with something so peculiar.

However, other territory equipment either needed conversion or came from drops. The object in front of him didn’t even need conversion; it could be used as territory equipment directly, something unheard of by Du You before.

But since there was equipment, Du You wouldn’t pass it up. 10,000 Crystal Coins were not a small amount, but Du You could still afford it. From the last deal trading Giant bloodlines, he had gained an extra 500,000 Crystal Coins.

He took out the Crystal Coins, which quickly burned away, but the Giant bust showed no change. Upon opening the panel, however, there was an additional piece of territory equipment listed as the Giant Bust.

Giant Bust (Damaged): Effect 1: Intimidation, Giants affiliated with the territory gain a 20% boost in strength, non-affiliated Giants have their strength reduced by 20%.

"Even in its damaged state, to have such a strong effect, I’m beginning to have regrets. If I had known about this from the beginning, the best foundation for our territory wouldn’t have been humans but a species like Giants."

With an increase and a decrease, that’s a 40% gap, one that could take on several others. But the territory’s foundation has already been laid; now changing it was impossible. However, having the ability to suppress the Giants’ strength is also a significant advantage.

Now, my territory is even safer. I wonder what additional effects other parts would have.
