The Giant Earth Turtle's pitiful roars were drowned out by Antero's mad laughter.
"Okay, playtime's over, Antero," Gaap ordered. "Store it."
The Gigantic Golem giggled as if the Halfling's orders made it extremely giddy.
In front of everyone, the Golem of Destruction held the Giant Earth Turtle with both hands and squeezed it tightly. Its action was similar to someone trying to squeeze a rubber ball to make it smaller.
At first, Lux and the others didn't understand what Antero was doing.
But after a bit, the Giant Earth Turtle slowly shrank in size. From a hundred-meter-tall giant, it became a small round boulder that Lux estimated to be only around a few meters tall.
This caught everyone completely by surprise and confused with what was happening.
When Antero stopped, it briefly admired its work before casually tossing the Giant Earth Turtle inside its mouth as if it was a piece of candy.
