Chapter 1676 Why the Founding Titan Wasn't Female
Elubaf, the land of giants, the realm of the living.
After Uta stormed into the Underworld and took Loki away, this ancient land finally regained a brief period of peace.
Thanks to Uta, or rather the music demon within her, whose main goal was simply to let Loki go.
The giant villages, ancient stone buildings, giant statues, and other facilities in the mortal realm were not subjected to large-scale destruction.
This is perhaps the smallest disturbance that has ever occurred in the history of the Giant Kingdom.
Even when being manipulated, Uta seemed to instinctively avoid causing too much harm to the giants.
Therefore, the giants did not resent the girl. The red-haired girl was kinder than Lingling and did not have the blood of the giants on her hands.
Those non-fatal wounds are nothing more than minor injuries that can heal quickly for the giants, who are known for their tenacious vitality and amazing regenerative abilities.
At this moment, almost all the men, women, and children of the giant tribe, from the oldest elders to the giant cubs who had just learned to walk, were crowded in the center of the village, on that huge stone square.
All eyes were fixed on the square in front of them, where the only giant broadcasting device in the country, capable of receiving external signals, was enlarged several times its original size.
On the screen, the broadcast has temporarily switched from the blood and fire of Marineford to the chaotic Sabaody Archipelago.
In the scene, the sea of bones, composed of pale, gigantic bones and resembling a mountain range, dominates the screen in a visually striking way.
Even the giant screen specially made by the giants could not fully display the monster's appearance. The camera had to constantly zoom out and shake to barely capture a corner of its enormous size for the audience.
As a highly respected elder among the giants, Aruru stood at the very front of the crowd.
His face, etched with the lines of time, now seemed to have his eyes glued to the screen.
He had lived for so long, witnessed the rise and fall of countless giant heroes, and even met the descendants of Oz the Demon, but the skeletal remains of this giant were still something he had never seen before.
"This is the Founding Giant that was vaguely mentioned in the sky." Aruru's voice was not loud, but because of the quiet of the square, it was clearly heard by every giant.
His voice carried a profound sense of awe: "Even we seem so small in its presence."
Unexpectedly, the legendary primordial giant actually appeared.
Once again, Sky Curtain has irrefutably proven the accuracy of its intelligence.
Therefore, the devastating prophecy brought about by the King of Men, who is closely related to the Founding Titan, is probably not unfounded.
The average height of modern giants is only around twenty meters when they reach adulthood.
Only a very few individuals who have reverted to the bloodline of ancient giants can possibly break through this limit, such as the contemporary prince Loki, and the now-historic Oz and his descendants.
However, even in the few records about ancient giants and in the epics passed down orally, there has never been any mention of giants whose height could exceed 1,000 meters.
This is beyond enormous; it's a conceptual gap.
"Could the Founding Giant truly be the ancestor of all giants?" a young giant warrior murmured.
"Can all of our remaining bloodlines be traced back to him?"
This idea stirred up a complex and indescribable emotion in all the giants, as well as a sense of excitement at finding the root of the problem.
Sauro, whose body was still wrapped in bandages, was in much better spirits than he had been not long ago.
As one of the few scholars among the giants who loved and read extensively, after the initial shock, he quickly began to observe the details of the Founding Titan's body on the screen with a more rational and inquisitive eye.
His gaze swept over the towering ribs, across the hollow chest cavity, and finally settled on the outline of the massive head.
Sauro muttered to himself, as if asking himself, "Why is the Founding Titan male, and not female?"
This question startled the giants who were listening nearby, but they quickly showed signs of thinking.
According to the most basic concept of reproduction, as the source of all giant bloodlines, the Founding Titan should have been female.
Only in this way can the widespread transmission of its bloodline be explained.
Just then, the broadcast camera switched again, moving away from the horrifying ribcage and focusing more clearly on the colossal head of the Founding Titan.
The face, which bore a striking resemblance to Alan Yeager but was magnified countless times, clearly displayed his signature pointed elf ears and flowing, jet-black hair.
Even through a screen, the madness emanating from that face, a madness that disregards all life, still sends chills down one's spine.
Elder Yaruru's gaze lingered for a moment, especially on those pointed elven ears.
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying the wisdom accumulated over the years: "Sauro, I think your guess might be correct."
“Look at those ears…”
He pointed to the screen, "This delicate and elegant ear shape is more often seen in females."
The power of the 'Human King' has probably been passed down for countless generations. The very first Human King, or the progenitor, was very likely a female with elf ears. Elf ears could also be a trait of atavism.
Sauro listened to the elder's analysis, pondered it carefully for a while, and then nodded heavily, indicating that he agreed that it was a reasonable speculation.
“It’s a pity it’s from such a long time ago,” Saulo sighed.
"The history of the true ancestors must be traced back to at least several thousand years ago or even longer; paper or leather books simply cannot survive that long."
"The only things that can withstand the erosion of time and war are the history engraved on special stones, namely those historical texts that are impervious to water and fire."
When Saul mentions the Poneglyphs, almost subconsciously, the image of a small but determined girl—Nicole Robin—comes to mind.
Yes, in this era, perhaps only that girl who miraculously survived the ruins of Ohara and bore the name of the Demon Child is the only one who can accurately decipher the Poneglyphs.
The tradition of Wano Country has been interrupted, which makes Robin's existence more important than ever before.
She is the only key to unlocking the buried truth about our ancestors, ancient weapons, and the blank century.
Just as the two were immersed in reminiscing about and reflecting on ancient history, the scene on the screen changed again.
A higher definition and more stable image came through, apparently because some reckless reporter had found a better shooting angle.
This angle allowed all the giants watching intently to notice a detail that had previously been overlooked.
On the Founding Titan's back, which was made of ribs, near the shoulder blades, several tiny black dots could be faintly seen.
The black dot was so small that it was like a speck of dust compared to the body of the Founding Titan, but under the capture of a high-definition lens, it could be vaguely discerned that it seemed to be humanoid.
someone!
At the epicenter of that devastating explosion, amidst the terrifying energy capable of vaporizing steel and condensing rock, a person still survived within the Founding Titan.
