The two have arrived in Australia and rented a car to their location.
-So are you going to fight a mountain? Thomas askes.
-At what we have seen in this journey... it dosen't seem that weird, Eden said.
-You have seen, I haven't anything besides you turning more and more blue.
-Oh yes... I guess you will also see the giant.
-I'm starting to doubt your stories.
-Trust me.
They arrive after a long day of driving at their destination where they get a room at a motel and begin their searches.
Eden finds a camp of natives and goes to them.
-Excuse me, do you speak english? Eden asked.
-Hmm, watiya, said the native to another one of his kind.
The man brings a young woman.
-What can I help with? the woman asked.
-So you are the only one in your tribe that speaks english?
-Yes, I am interested in the outside world and some men helped me learn it.
-Interesting. I have heard about this Purliwati legend.
-Yes, what about it?
-How can I meet Purliwati.
-Well... when we pray to him and want to ask him we got to the mountain, we bring sacrifices, dance and stay up for one day until he wakes. But... it's a hard task to stay up that much so only our shamans do that.
-What kind of sacrifices?
-Two dead rabbits and one emu and we paint our head with their blood.
-Do all tribes around here do this?
-No, they have different belives.
-Interesting.
Eden leaves with Thomas and hunt two rabbits and strugled all day to kill an emu. In the end they manage to and they do as she said and Thomas falls asleep in the process while Eden manages to stay awake.
Next morning, Thomas waked up to see Eden standing down with his legs crossed looking at the mountain.
-I've been awake for hours, Eden said
-How the fuck did you even manage to stay awake? Thomas asked.
-I just did.
-You have bag under your eyes!
-I don't realy feel tired, just bored.
-Jesus Christ...
The ground starts shaking.
-What is happening? Thomas asks.
-He is awake! Eden replied.
The hill  starts to rise from the ground revealing a giant with the hill on the back of it risen from a large pit the size of it. A creature so big that it was about 40 feet, as big as a 4 story house.
-So... how are you going to fight... this?
-We'll see.
Eden jumps and tries to punch the creature i  the chest, but not before the giant stopped the punch with it's fist. Eden tries to lunch it again, and then again throws another punch and starts throwing punches and makes a hole through it's hand. The giant punches Eden into the ground and takes a fist of sand, healing the hole in it's hand.
-It's better for me if I watch the fightfrom further away, said Thomas.
Eden blasts into the creature's chest, but the thing seems unaffected by it.
-Thou art wasting thy time and energy, human, thou won't win, the creature said.
-You can speak? Eden asked
-What did thou thinketh? it replied.
The creature starts throwing sand and dirt into it's chest to heal, but Eden notices and blasts into it's arm.
-Enough is enough, sapien! the creature said.
-I killed a god! I can kill you too.
-Wrong, thou art a fool to think that. Thou art not even close to killing or becoming a god. Fool sapien thou art.
This angered Eden and tries to burst through the thing's head, he instead hits into it and falls.
-Fool, that's mine strongest part. One last chance... Give up!
Eden tries to cut it's leg off but dirt and sand gets immediately absorbed into it's leg, healing it. The creature tries to punch him but Eden deflects it.
Eden tries his best to cut off limbs and kill the creature, but it keeps on healing. He can't beat this foe, it's too hard for him.
-thou calletg thy self a god killer? And you are not able to kill me? How pathetic of thou, sapien! I expected more.
-I will become more than you could ever imagine! Eden said.
-Pathetic sapien. You humans have a lot of ambition... but this brings your demise. Thy demise!
-We, "humans", are also creative when we need to!
-Hmm?
Eden jumps into the creature's chest. He could feel the sand and dirt hitting him, suffocating him, killing him slowly. He strugles his way uowords and manages to get into his head and starting to blast in left and right, founding a glowing blue object being conected to the head trhough strings. It was it's brain.
Eden puts his hand on the glowing brain, hurting and burning his hand, strugling to take it. Sand and dirt start twisting around Eden, trying to stop him, sand coming into Eden's mouth and nose to suffocate him.
Eden tries to cut every string, one by one, more and more sand getting into his mouth and nose, more and more dirt twisting around him.
He manages to cut the last string, making the corpse of the hill giant fall on the ground and he gets out of the corpse with the brain in his hand burning his arms slowly.
Thomas comes running to Eden.
-That was one hell of a fight! Thomas said.
-Indeed, Eden said and eats the brain.
-So... is it true what I heard there?
-What exeactly?
-About you wanting to...
Thomas dosen't get to finish his sentence and Eden manifests sand into a spear that goes through Thomas' chest.
-Yes. Yes, everytying is true. I will become more than anyone had, he replied.
-Eden... how could you, Thomas looks in disbelief at Eden in his last moments.
-I don't need you anymore, thanks for the help.
A man behind Eden appears.
-My turn, the man said.
Eden turns around and sees Minofrourus.
-You again? Eden replied
-Final match shall this be?
-For sure!
