Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 448 - 66: Gods’ Gaze

But just at this moment.

A sharp whistle sounded, and a towering giant with a spinning catapult appeared.

Boom!

It was as if the stones hurled by a catapult, Duncan lunged to dodge in an instant, the stones behind him shattering, and next to him, Pest let out a muffled groan, one arm having been shattered by the broken stones.

Fortunately, at this moment, a low whisper echoed, and the Priest in his hand gathered a thread of spiritual light, instantly stopping Crete’s bleeding wound.

Healing Spell.

The Priest, as a divine believer of the new era, was more adept at healing than other Priests and Shamans.

Duncan also began to accelerate, and as he sprinted, the javelin in his hand sliced through like lightning, piercing the throat of a Hill Giant that had just lifted a boulder. As blood gushed out, the massive body toppled down.

Just as it landed, struggling, Duncan swung the ’Grandfather’, cleaving open its skull.

At this moment, the surrounding Barbarians erupted into a frenzy, unleashing their innate combat skills, leap-slashing, jumping four to five meters high, and dashing into hand-to-hand combat like minuscule versions of the Hulk.

"Haha!"

"This potion is potent!"

Crete, relying on sheer force, did not fall behind when facing the giants for the first time. Though his mighty chop was blocked by the giant with a thick wooden club, the wild force made the giant’s palm go numb, causing the enormous figure to retreat half a step.

——"Giant Power Potion: Strength +6."

Duncan also had a special buff status augmenting him, initially possessing giant’s strength, and now he felt almost like a real giant.

"Throwing Axe!"

"Throw!"

In an instant, flying axes rained down from the sky.

The scene was akin to a gang of ax-wielders, rushing while throwing continuously for three rounds, toppling two giants charging out of the cave. With such large targets, any throw was bound to hit, requiring no special technique—only immense strength to make miracles happen.

Duncan cleaved an axe into a giant warrior’s forehead, and as a faint spiritual light appeared, his giant force began to transform.

This was true giant bloodline.

Not like the low-grade mixed breed of ogres.

Under Duncan’s command, the Barbarian warriors threw a round of javelins and axes, instantly taking down two Hill Giants. One toppling giant warrior hadn’t yet gotten up when Duncan speared its eye socket, blowing its head apart.

Somehow, their coordination had become much more seamless, except for Hegel and Berserker Blu.

Hegel was in a furious battle cry!

Originally, with innate divine power, having taken the Giant Power Potion, he was directly overpowering the enemy, even toppling the enemy giant warrior with a charge.

However, Hegel still remembered Duncan’s tactical command at this moment.

"Don’t mind anything, in a moment bite down on the giant’s stone thrower, do not give him any chance to act!"

Indeed.

Even though Hegel’s mind was average, he was extremely adept at chopping enemies. After downing a giant warrior, he leaped, relying purely on brute force to pin and tackle the giant Stone Thrower - Gael to the ground.

A shooter in close combat was disadvantaged, not to mention using a catapult.

Bam!

Hegel barely gained the upper hand before his head burst, the giant Stone Thrower smashing a stone from his waist against Hegel’s forehead like a brick.

Had it been anyone else, their skull would likely have shattered.

But Hegel was fine; he had a head as hard as iron, the toughest part of his body.

He immediately countered with a headbutt to the giant’s chin, the crunching sound transforming the enemy’s mouth, several large teeth flying out.

"I am Hegel!"

"Thunder Warrior from the Great Snow Holy Mountain!"

At this moment, Hegel’s eyes were bloodshot, blood trickling down from his head. He swung his cauldron-sized fist at the giant’s eye socket, bursting an eyeball that splattered like juice, soaking Hegel’s head and face.

But the target was indeed a five-star Mark legendary unit. He was suddenly heavily wounded by Hegel, becoming even more frenzied, seizing and smashing him heavily against the stone wall.

The scene was akin to a big and small Hulk brawling, their fists wielding the power of heavy weaponry.

And yet it didn’t die?

Duncan had already felled four or five giants on his side. With his personal command, these simple-minded Barbarians reigned in chaos, avoiding death.

Yet, this battle’s enemy seemed unusual. Clearly heavily injured, their combat power didn’t decrease, instead, they fought more fiercely, similar to Hegel, even their marks subtly shifting.

Within the Dimension Space.

On the projection page under the God’s Perspective, a hazy giant silhouette emerged, overlapping with the enemy’s body.

——"Stone Thrower - Gael (Legendary Sturdy) (Divine Grace) (Heroic Units) (Bloody Five Stars)!"

(Demigod Giant Earth Splitter - Dogos’s last bloodline, amidst the human and dwarf expansion, Hill Giants’ habitat became ever smaller.)

(The young Gael yearned to become a hero of the giants, leading his kinsmen southward, attempting to reclaim the lands of Grizzly Hills.)

Is this a berserk state?

Duncan had never witnessed a Bloody Five Stars mark before; it hadn’t converted into a skull mark, likely as the divine-like power behind them wasn’t strong enough.

"Feels like inviting the god!"

"Is this possession?"

Duncan realized that the world’s heroic units exploded into berserk easily, with gods above casually bestowing a wisp of divine power and grace.

Boom boom boom!

Originally dominating from above, Hegel was suddenly pinned down by the enemy and slammed heavily to the ground. A human-shaped depression over a meter deep appeared, with Hegel almost entirely buried into the earth.

Duncan swiftly gripped his spear and launched a thrust. Blood burst forth as the spear pierced nearly halfway through, penetrating the enemy’s thigh.

If no one else died, Hegel died here!

Break your limits!

The physique of this giant hero was already beyond mortal, normally, Duncan crippling its right leg should have affected its movement, but it didn’t. It entered a state similar to frenzy, and its combat skills significantly improved.

Bleeding had almost no effect on it!

A massive palm hammered the ground, not only burying Hegel beneath the surface but also shattering nearby rocks, like an Earth Splitting Slash, causing Duncan to lose balance, falling into a weird state of stiffness.

The next second.

The enemy picked up a stone pillar and swung it. Duncan barely parried with Grandfather, but sparks flew, and his figure was knocked back more than ten meters. Rising up instantly, he spat out a mouthful of blood while the life bar on the projection page dropped by almost half.

"Cheating!"

"This is definitely master-level combat skills."

That silky combo just now reminded Duncan of the War God Kratos from games, only a top-notch veteran warrior could pull that off.

Even the archers turned into Berserkers.

At this moment, Hegel was already severely wounded. As the giant swung the stone pillar towards his head, a nearly dying Hegel suddenly burst forth with an invisible bloodlight.

——Hegel (Power Domain)(Divine Grace)(Divine Power)(Five-star Gold)!

He unexpectedly caught the giant’s descending stone pillar with his bare hands. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

A whisper echoed in.

The voice of the witch Gleya suddenly sounded in Duncan’s ear, saying softly, "Inside the cave, there is a shrine altar sacred to giants; destroy it, and you can eliminate its divine power."

But Duncan’s focus had shifted from that matter.

Dimension Space.

At some unknown time, two invisible phantoms appeared above the projection page, quietly overseeing the battle.

——The incarnation of Kod, God of Strength (Powerful Divine Power).

——The incarnation of Lady of Gems (Dwarf Deity)(Weak Divine Power).

Duncan once thought Attila, God’s Whip’s Sanctuary of Ten Thousand Spirits was already bizarre enough, but unexpected affairs occurred where divine spirits could incarnate and walk among mortals.

A dying Hegel instantly broke his limits, revealing a faint manifestation of the Power Law.

They were just like terrifying primeval beasts contending, causing nearby mountains and rocks to gradually crumble. Hegel swung a fist, its terrifying force not only repelled Gael but also made the cave’s stone wall reveal spiderweb-like fissures over ten meters long.

The witch had given a direction, but Duncan was unwilling to follow it.

He wanted to see if he could slay the incarnate form of a demigod giant, as there were already spectators present.

——Great Frenzy.

Duncan roared furiously, the resulting shockwave blasted away nearby dust as he launched himself into the air over ten meters. Grandfather descended with thunderous force, striking the enemy like it was a steel plate. Although it inflicted damage, it did not critically harm the opponent.

A special ’armored skin’ state appeared on the enemy.

Fortunately, Hegel realized this. With a roar, he directly climbed onto the massive body of the enemy, using a combat skill similar to a bare choke. His sturdy legs wrapped around the enemy’s neck, then unleashed a heavy punch to the temple.

Duncan brandished Grandfather, tearing a one-meter long wound on the enemy. As the stone pillar swung, his figure demonstrated incredible agility by stepping onto its knee, then leaping a full 360 degrees to land. Upon landing on one knee, the rocks beneath Duncan’s feet shattered inch by inch, his agile figure launched like a hurricane, Grandfather cut a chilly sliver directly severing the enemy’s Achilles tendon.

At this moment, Hegel’s right hand formed a finger, suddenly plunging into the giant’s eye socket, forcefully gouging out the other eyeball.

The Barbarian Warrior’s combat techniques seek only to kill the enemy, close-quarters brawling with groin kicks and eye gouges are commonplace.

Boom!

The massive giant was laid down directly, Hegel roared loudly, his fists like shadows pounding successively, deforming the enemy’s skull.

"Its divine power almost resembles Spartan Fury, is it the power of combat divine position?"

Kod, God of Strength, possessed part of the combat domain.

At this moment, Duncan took up Grandfather in a jump slash, Hegel’s figure slightly retreated. Accompanied by a flash of bloodlight, the giant’s head ahead was chopped off directly, blood sprayed fiercely like a fountain.

Even though he seized the last kill.

But Duncan still lifted the giant hero’s head, handing it to the beast-like heavy-breathing, red-eyed Hegel before him. Hegel seemingly regained a touch of clarity, looking at Duncan with a bit of surprise, then turned to the other barbarians, raising the giant’s head with one hand, roaring: "Blood and Glory!"

Barbarians all around pounded their chests fervently, although cheering for Hegel, their gazes occasionally fell on Duncan half a step behind Hegel.

Now’s the time to let Hegel have his moment.

With the head in hand, everything else is negotiable.

Unbeknownst to him, a mark had appeared on the human form.

——"Gods’ Gaze: You have successfully gained the attention of the Furious Gods, the God of Strength is quite pleased with you. Further pleasing the Furious Gods might earn divine grace from them."

There were spectators.

Thus perform an exceptional duel, Duncan was adept at this.

Is there a chance to become dual protagonists?

By stepping aside in the final move to allow Hegel the spotlight, Duncan seemingly attracted a touch of attention from the Furious Gods.
