"Oz the Land Mover? Why such a nickname? I've never heard of him before. Could he move entire countries?"
Kate looked thoughtfully at Oz's corpse beneath the ice. Perhaps some people in this Sea had been given the wrong names, but when it came to nicknames, they were usually accurate. A nickname would always correspond to a characteristic of its owner.
"You guessed it. That's exactly what this guy did. You were born in the Mokomo Dukedom, so you should remember Zou."
"Zou is much bigger than him."
"That's true. After all, I've never heard of another giant elephant like Zou in the Sea.
The guy under the ice is from the Ancient Giant Race. His body is several times larger than that of ordinary Giant Race, and his strength is the same.
Oz would directly drag away islands or countries that caught his eye, pulling them back to his territory to build his Evil Empire.
His exaggerated size and behavior led people at the time to call him a demon. The nickname 'Land Mover' also came from his act of moving islands."
Oz the Land Mover wasn't a taboo topic, and the World Government didn't hide his existence. It's just that most people didn't pay attention to this giant. Four hundred and seventy years was too long ago for them.
Little Oz Jr., who has his bloodline, is still active in the New World. Compared to Oz the Land Mover, who disappeared long ago, Little Oz is actually more famous.
"But Dad, why did he die here? He doesn't seem to be injured."
The ice protected Oz's corpse very well. After so many years, it hadn't completely decayed, and most of his muscles and bones were still in the same state as they were hundreds of years ago.
Through the ice, it was roughly visible that there were no obvious external injuries on his body.
"This is the ruins of the Ice Country. It is said that Oz took a liking to this country and wanted to move it, but he didn't take proper precautions against the cold, so he froze to death here."
"So it's because he didn't wear clothes? This big guy seems clumsy."
"Maybe it was instinct, but it was more likely that he was too arrogant. He wanted to use his own body to resist the great power of nature. As it accumulated, by the time he realized the impact of the severe cold on his body, it was probably too late."
The severe cold seemed to have stopped time. You could see many things from the past here. Not only Oz's corpse, but also damaged houses and city walls could be seen in the distance.
That was the Ice Country of the past.
The country Oz had yearned to move, but in the end, he remained forever on this ice plain.
"So we came here just for this big guy's corpse?"
"Pretty much. There are many secrets in the bodies of the Ancient Giant Race."
Oz the Land Mover was sixty-seven meters tall, while Little Oz was thirty-eight meters tall. The difference between them was huge. It seemed that with the passage of time, Little Oz had already diverged from the Ancient Giant Race of that era.
Nowadays, Elbaf is still called the strongest country in the world. As the country of giants, they have a long history and traditions, powerful warriors, and many unknown secrets.
Even the World Government is very interested in the power of the Giant Race. They used Carmel to establish contact with the country of the Giant Race, allowing the Marine to have Giant Race Vice Admirals.
In Punk Hazard, there was even research on the Ancient Giant Race - the Human Gigantification Project, which was also one of the World Government's goals.
Although Oran possessed very powerful abilities in the spiritual realm, he had no research on magic himself, let alone necromancy. He planned to take this opportunity to dig this out, not with the goal of resurrection, but for another research objective.
Besides working on Oz's corpse itself, who knows, maybe one day he would create some 'invincible' Armored Titan.
"Alright, it's time to prepare for directional blasting of the ice layer. This guy is bigger than I expected."
Sixty-seven meters sounds like just a number, but that's the height of a twenty-story building. You don't feel it usually, only when you stand below the building do you feel its immense size.
The ice layer that froze Oz was much larger than Oz. This corpse was dug out by Moriah with his zombie army in the original timeline, but Oran didn't have that kind of labor force.
Robots could work tirelessly like zombies, but that method was somewhat inefficient.
After marking the area near the ice layer, Oran used the Book-Book Fruit to send Kate into the sky. Using the high-temperature electric beams she emitted, he melted out blasting points on the ice layer, and then threw the prepared blasting devices into the openings.
The glaciers here were completely different in nature from the Jewel Ice Bed where Qingjiao stored his treasure. They were just ordinary ice layers, far less difficult to handle.
With the Book-Book Fruit as a portable space, Oran had an exaggerated number of armed tools on him, and explosives were the most basic items.
When a person with a fear of insufficient firepower obtains a storage device with almost infinite capacity, you have no idea how much stuff he will stuff inside.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The detonators were set, and as the detonator was pressed, the nearby ice layer shook, and a large section of the nearby ice layer disappeared, exposing Oz.
Through precise directional blasting, Oz's body didn't suffer any problems. Then Oran opened a new page of a book and enlarged it, covering Oz.
After a moment, only a huge pit was left here, and Oz had already been preserved inside Oran's book.
However, the part of the ice layer that was blasted open revealed some differences. A large amount of seawater poured in, quickly forming a pool here.
"The overall thickness of the ice layer is a bit thinner than I expected, but it's normal. Oz should have swum here from the sea back then."
"Dad, there seem to be fish in the water. How about we fish here for a while before we leave?"
Fish also need air. In the sea area under the ice layer, the oxygen content is lower than outside. When the ice layer above cracks, the resulting opening often attracts many fish.
This is why there are always many schools of fish gathered near the hole when ice fishing.
"Of course. You can prepare yourself first. I'll plan the rest of the way. Be careful not to be dragged into the water by the fish."
"I won't. Unless I catch a Sea King. My strength is much greater than that of fish."
Lyliana put down the backpack on her back and took out a book with a green cover that said "Camping" from inside. Due to Lyliana's size, the books she carried were all about one meter in size, large enough to store most folding tools.
"Kate sister, do you want to join?"
Lyliana took out two fishing rods and stools and pulled Kate to join the fishing group.
