"His Majesty killed the Fire Giant!"
"My god..."
"It's true, the Fire Giant was not only killed but also devoured by His Majesty!"
"He is far stronger than those Fire Giants! He is the true master we should pledge our loyalty to!"
A large Fire Lizard elder with a thick snake tail exclaimed in shock.
These slaves had been enslaved in the Black Iron City by the Fire Giants for who knows how long. Even the Fire Lizards were raised as a slave race, enslaved for generations. They could trace their lineage back dozens of generations, all as slaves to the Fire Giants.
Even if they were freed, they still had an image of an omnipotent 'master' in their hearts.
That was the deep-seated chain implanted by the Fire Giants over a thousand years to prevent rebellion, one deeply rooted in their flesh and bones, not easily broken.
Establishing a new idol was easier than smashing the old one.
Similarly, transferring faith was easier than completely destroying it.
