Then, the last giant cleared his throat and said firmly, "Can you guys stop being so negative? We have so many clansmen, sheer numbers alone could help us defeat many enemies.
Besides, we still have our leader. Everyone knows how strong our leader is."
There weren't many creatures nearby who could even come close to matching him in strength.
Not to mention the three adults, Shi You, Shi Qi, and Shi Zuan.
"Honestly, I think they're already cleaning up the battlefield by now," the silver giant snorted coldly, convinced there was no reason to worry.
Their clan's power was immense, making them the top force in the area.
Even if an enemy somehow managed to slip through and reach the depths, they'd only meet defeat at the hands of their leader, Shijin.
The other two silver giants exchanged glances and, after some thought, agreed.
Their clan truly was the dominant power around here, with only a few exceptions.
The silver giant who had spoken earlier went on, "So, there's nothing to worry about at all."
"They're probably shattered pieces scattered all over the ground, hahahaha," he laughed.
"Yeah, broken into bits and lining up one by one to be swallowed by the big steel snake," a playful voice chimed in from the side.
Suddenly, a powerful presence swept through the area like a raging river.
The overwhelming aura carried a deadly intent that even distorted the surrounding space, casting a shadow over the once-bright cave.
The three-headed silver giant's heart tightened, his core thumping wildly as he scanned his surroundings.
Then, from thin air, a massive hand made of smoke appeared and grabbed the three silver giants firmly.
The crushing grip twisted their faces in pain, and their bodies, which should have been incredibly tough, cracked loudly under the pressure.
The silver giant who had been talking just moments ago widened his eyes in shock, unable to even shake or resist.
Feeling the breath of that overwhelming force - Gengar's presence - they couldn't even bring themselves to speak, only grinning painfully.
In that moment, they understood one thing: if the enemy had reached this far, it meant trouble.
Suddenly, with a slight squeeze from the smoky hand, the three silver giants' bodies exploded.
"Boom!"
Most of their flesh was pulverized into dust, with only a few chunks left intact.
Gengar moved casually, and the silver dust settled quietly onto the ground, leaving an eerie silence in the wake of destruction.
As the white light bathed the ground, three towering silver giants stood out in the scene.
If it weren't for their immense size, they might have seemed quite large on their own, but their sheer scale made them undeniable.
Gengar's body twisted briefly before fading away like a gentle breeze, slipping into Larry's shadow.
Seeing this, Larry gave a slight nod and then led the group forward, stepping carefully over the three silver giants.
These three were, in a way, the most powerful among the stone giants, the last ones to fall.
Larry's mindset was straightforward: since the enemy wanted him shattered, he was prepared to face death in the same way.
Meanwhile, the others barely noticed the silver giants, their attention drawn instead to the breathtaking surroundings.
"This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen," Patrick, the mushroom-headed child, breathed out in awe, her eyes sparkling like diamonds.
The place felt like something out of a fairy tale, with gemstone lights shimmering all around, and the stone walls glittering with stunning diamonds embedded throughout.
Each diamond embedded in the rock was breathtakingly beautiful, crystal clear, with light flowing gently across their surfaces.
Though varied in size, none were smaller than a fist, and they all shimmered brilliantly against the stone wall.
The soft glow they emitted bathed the surroundings in an almost magical light, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
It was no wonder Dwun felt such awe; in fact, everyone felt the same way.
They all agreed this place was stunning, so stunning that staying here might feel like a lifetime of wonder.
Ging gazed at the gem-covered wall in amazement and said, "Larry, if Bisgi saw these diamonds, she'd be frozen in place."
Then, with a playful grin tugging at the corner of his mouth, he added, "I wonder what she'd do if she saw this whole scene."
It had been a while since Ging had a chance to have some fun during an operation, and this seemed like the perfect moment.
Unfortunately, Bisgi wasn't with them, so she'd miss out on seeing it.
Larry chuckled softly and replied, "I'm not sure, but I think she might just pass out from excitement. Or maybe even lose her mind.
She wouldn't want to leave; she'd want to live here forever."
For Bisgi, this gem-filled cave was more heavenly than any paradise she could have imagined, something she wouldn't even dare dream of.
Suddenly, Bushidora pointed out something and exclaimed, "What's that?"
Following his gaze, they spotted a group of strange creatures floating nearby.
Each one's body was a large diamond, roughly child-sized, with a clear, expressive face and bright blue eyes carved into the crystal.
Their expressions were lively and downright adorable.
It seemed as if a switch had been flipped because more and more of these creatures began appearing from different spots, drifting closer.
Larry observed thoughtfully, "These diamond creatures remind me a lot of Pokemon Diamond."
Miuhru narrowed his eyes, intrigued by the new beings.
"Are these... diamond elves?" he asked.
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice unlike any human's rang out.
Meowth's translation device quickly converted it for them: "Are you the heroes who defeated the stone giant?"
The tone was filled with hope and excitement.
Right after that, three diamond guards appeared, clearly different from the usual diamond elves.
They were bigger and their presence felt much stronger.
Although they weren't the same creatures as the others, Larry and the group could sense their mood instantly.
Relief was obvious on their faces, and their smiles were genuine, no faking those emotions.
But beyond that relief, Larry noticed something else in their expressions: a mix of shock and nostalgia.
Stepping forward, Larry addressed the diamond guards, saying, "Yes, we've taken care of all the stone giants."
Thanks to the translation device, the diamond elves heard his words clearly.
At once, a wave of emotions swept over them.
Some cried tears of joy, others laughed with relief, and many simply couldn't believe how quickly happiness had come.
They'd been enslaved for so long, and their rescue felt almost unreal.
The oldest diamond elf looked at Larry gratefully and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
But just as the words left his mouth, a flicker of hesitation crossed his face before he asked, "Do you know the Bone Tribe? You look very similar to them.
Are you perhaps survivors of that tribe?"
Larry met the old guard's hopeful gaze and replied, "We're not the Bone Tribe, but if you trace our origins, we share the same roots."
