The Human Giant

Yoze felt his heart shiver as he waited for the 24 hours to pass. The sky grew red as the sunset and the moon started to rise. Once night had come, Yoze went to sleep and wondered if the military would have arrived by the time he woke up.

When Yoze woke up in the morning he climbed up to the top of a building and looked around to see if he could see the figures of people rushing to the town. Even after an hour had passed, Yoze didn't see a single shadow in the horizon and figured that the military must have been delayed longer than he thought.

With that as the case and his talent mark refreshing in a couple of hours, Yoze walked back to the cemetery, where the giant mutated zombie was, at a slow pace. He didn't want to rush to the cemetery before he had his talent mark on the ready in case he met something remarkable.

"3...2...1...it's refreshing." Yoze thought as he saw that his talent mark refreshed just as he made it to the entrance to the cemetery. Crossing the black barrier of death, Yoze saw the kneeling giant mutated zombie facing away from him in the same place as yesterday not moving even a single inch.

Yoze slowly walked up to the Mutated Zombie and noticed that the zombie was staring at the ground. He figured that as long as he walked around the mutated zombie without getting too close he could avoid awakening it.

As he walked around Yoze saw that the mutated zombie was kneeling in front of a gravestone with the name and information of the dead scratched out from what looked like human nails. Yoze also found it interesting that the mutated zombie had its hands curled up in its chest as if it was protecting something.

Yoze continued walking through the cemetery before turning around and facing the kneeling giant mutated zombie.This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"The source of death is coming from the thing in the mutated zombie's hands." Yoze squinted his eyes as he wondered if he should risk waking up this zombie to see the source of Emerald Town's destruction.

Eventually eyes shimmered as he made his decision, he was going to see the source of the disaster, and if possible grab its talent before running away from the giant mutated zombie if he couldn't beat it.

Yoze took a deep breath and activated his Inner Vigor he also fully activated his Mindless Blood Legs to their max potential. After preparing himself, Yoze charged at the giant mutated zombie and slammed into it before it could react.

"Bang!"

Yoze slammed against the giant mutated zombie and pushed it with so much force that he tore whatever the giant mutated zombie was holding away from it.

"Waaahhh!"

Yoze suddenly heard the sound of a crying baby appear following a massive black pillar ripping through the sky. A wave of memories slammed into Yoze's head as he saw the beginning of Emerald Town's destruction.

There was a pregnant woman with long black hair and gentle brown eyes stroking her stomach with tender love. The next second, Yoze watched as that same woman was no longer pregnant but standing over a gravestone. That gravestone belonged to the woman stillborn child.

Another memory flashed through Yoze's eyes and it was a sunny day and the bright sunlight was slamming against the woman who was digging out her child's coffin with her bare hands. The woman broke through her child's coffin and clutched her child's corpse against her chest as she whispered words of love to it.

Another memory flashed through Yoze's eyes and he now saw nothing, just an endless darkness. Seeing this darkness that contained nothing made Yoze's blood freeze in fright. Suddenly within this darkness he heard a strange sound. The sound was muffled and it was impossible to tell what the sound was saying or what it meant but the feeling of love still passed through.

Yoze returned back to the memory of the mother holding her baby's body but he noticed that a black fog rose from the baby's body as he felt a strange stubbornness coming from the baby. It was odd, he felt as if he knew what the baby's corpse wanted to do.

The baby wanted to come back to life to meet his mother again. It was going to do everything it could to cross the impenetrable barrier that separated life and death. The baby's love for its mother led to the baby producing the fog of death as a mere by-product of it attempting to come back to life.

This fog grew rapidly and thicker until the memories shattered and Yoze returned to see the endless black pillar of death, the bottomless well of death, signaling a mother and child's attempt to reconnect.

Yoze shivered as he felt something for the mother and the child but he calmed himself and tossed his talent mark towards the baby's body. Yoze had high expectations for the baby's talents. What kind of talent did one have to have to literally be able to break the world's fundamental laws simply because they wanted to?

[Death Rejecting Baby]

[Age: None]

[Talents: None]

Yoze blinked as he didn't understand what he was looking at. Why was his cheat saying that the Death Rejecting Baby, who destroyed an entire town, did not have any talent?

"This baby was able to challenge the fundamental law of life and death because of the power of love between a mother and her child." Yoze was astonished by what he saw and almost had his head crushed by the giant mutated zombie.

Quickly dodging the mutated zombie's attack, Yoze jumped several times to get some distance from this monster. The Giant mutated zombie didn't pursue Yoze like he had come to expect from the zombies.

Instead the giant mutated zombie picked up the baby that oozed an endless source of death with two of its arms and held the baby tightly before turning to face Yoze with anger.
