jagged hills gave way to flat, massive stones, and the air carried a strange odor of minerals mixed with sulfur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The full sight of the stone giant encampment gradually unfolded before Garos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a semi-open encampment built against a mountain, its outer perimeter formed by rough basalt blocks stacked into a circular wall, inside stood a cluster of primitive stone huts, each built by layering massive rocks in an ancient style; both the wall and the huts were exceptionally grand and colossal, unmistakably the work of giant beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze quietly swept over the stone giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos’s eyes were drawn to the structure at the center of the encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a circular depression about twenty meters in diameter, filled with a gray substance that, at first glance, resembled stone—but occasional ripples proved it was liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing is… a Geomantic Symbiosis Pool?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos pondered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone giants do not reproduce through normal biological means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They first select suitable geomantic nodes, construct a Geomantic Symbiosis Pool, then, through special methods, choose ores possessing “spirit,” carve them into crude humanoid forms, and place these forms within the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the crude forms soak in the pool, the liquid mineral essence and energy gradually seep into them, with a chance of awakening consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they fail, they become part of the mineral essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those that awaken consciousness crawl from the pool, devour portions of elder stone giants’ bodies, thereby gaining basic cognition of the world and racial identity, becoming newborn stone giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to differences in the crude forms and the carving techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each stone giant has a unique appearance and physique, differing in bodily texture, with vast individual disparities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak, formed from ordinary stone, are inferior even to the White Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those stone giants born from special ores and awakened possess astonishing talents—though the rarer and more exceptional the ore, the lower the probability of awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several young stone giants were carving rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not carving small, growing humanoid crude forms, but massive, rugged statues no smaller than themselves—and the Geomantic Symbiosis Pool already held several such stone sculptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were Stone Guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone giants are a race that reveres deities; they can create Stone Guardians, who sacrifice their intellect and longevity to rapidly grow into weapons defending their clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only stone giants, but also Stone Guardians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the encampment, groups of rock lizards, pangolins, and other demonic familiars were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A sizable force, but not a large one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, Garos had seen no more adult stone giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tarcon reached the edge of the encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A particularly massive stone giant emerged from the largest stone hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood fifteen meters tall, like a small mountain, his body composed of crystalline material, its texture and pattern utterly unlike Tarcon’s, as if forged from diamond, radiating an unbreakable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stone giant instantly captured Garos’s attention, sending a chill through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A stone giant elder—or a Diamond Giant? Tricky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was already one Diamond Giant elder among the vanguard forces; Garos could not imagine how powerful and numerous the main army would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him sense a deeper danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as he gazed down at the giant encampment, Garos felt something was off—but he couldn’t pinpoint it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his breath, stifling all sound, continuing to observe and scout the stone giant encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, the stone giant Tarcon knelt on one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast a spell, his eyes faintly glowing, projecting a memory image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karu’s stubborn expression, the corpulent ogre warriors, multiple sorcerers—all were rendered in meticulous detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tarcon’s stony face cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was how stone giants expressed anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rumbled: “That filthy, lowly tribe of ogres wants you to go personally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diamond Giant elder showed no anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His massive body remained motionless, his eyes filled with wise, contemplative thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That gluttonous demon is clever. Good—it means he’s worth subduing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diamond Giant elder spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice sounded like two diamonds grinding together, a dull hum that made the air tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured for the granite giant to rise, then led him into the encampment, entering the largest stone hut to discuss matters concerning the Chewbone Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos could not see the two strongest stone giants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes, counted the number of stone huts in the encampment, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, a Level 9 mammoth beast lumbered forward with savage strides, its eyes still holding traces of fear and panic, charging toward the stone giant encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic familiars kept outside rushed to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to the vast disparity in power, they could not stop the mammoth beast, causing great chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More stone giants emerged from their huts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diamond Giant elder shattered the ground, leaping high with his heavy, massive body, crossing hundreds of meters in a single bound, his diamond form like a cannonball, like a meteor, crashing directly onto the mammoth beast’s back, shattering bones and sinews, inflicting grave injury, then delivering one final punch, killing it cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this minor disturbance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diamond Giant elder returned to his hut, and his demonic familiars devoured the mammoth beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the clouds, Garos watched this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mammoth beast had been driven by him toward the stone giant encampment, to observe how they would respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos took a small sip of fairy scale powder; the world instantly turned warm-toned, his thoughts stirred, his mind racing at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He re-examined the details that had felt off but had eluded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Geomantic Symbiosis Pool is the core of a stone giant clan—normally found only in their rear base.

They looked more like refugees, seeking to settle here permanently; the claim of expansion was merely deception to fool the ogres.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrender his territory to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Diamond Giant elder was not enough to make Garos abandon his hard-won domain and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he faced the Diamond Giant elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The risk existed—and it was significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a powerful stone giant, not to be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the consequences of abandoning his territory, Garos weighed carefully and judged he could bear this risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting the Diamond Giant might injure him, but with his speed and burst power, even if he lost, he could ensure he would not be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three days from now—if he goes alone to the Chewbone Clan, that will be my best chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos ascended into the sky, silently departing the stone giant encampment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1304,"2026-06-19T14:21:50.702Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d6d38b0b956bb0d0894bc6fa5995ac4a3bc72c52a24a30d873ebdb26f467dd96",null,"toppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--chapter-100","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftoppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--cover.jpg"]
