In the years of development for Kairuoka, Belche has not been idle for a moment. Relying on his remaining giant troops, he has been unstoppable in the jungles of Mexico, claiming dominance everywhere and establishing his own kingdom in Tikal. Belche is a cunning and treacherous fellow; he knows that Kairuoka has not given up on tracking him down and harbors resentment towards him. Therefore, Belche chose to remain in the shadows, finding a puppet—Akagao, who has always regarded him as a "deity"—to act as his spokesperson, and he crowned Akagao as king.
Belche views Earth merely as a refuge to endure hardships and survive.
Since Capricorn Planet no longer lacks energy, through generations of research, the artificial Capricorn Planet has evolved. Its propulsion system has transitioned from solely relying on capturing atoms in space for nuclear fusion to a dual-power system that also harnesses dark matter for energy. The installation of these two power sources has allowed Capricorn Planet to fly faster in the sky. The advanced technology for extracting energy from dark matter, along with the use of Neutron Energy and Proton Energy, means that the Capricornian people no longer worry about energy shortages within their planet. Consequently, Belche could no longer find the necessary corresponding energy on Earth, which is still a primitive land lacking advanced civilization; he had no choice but to seek what he needed on other planets.
Akagao King's ambitions extend beyond merely conquering one city or another; he intends to use Belche's wisdom and giant troops to achieve his grand ambitions of ruling the entire Earth. Taking advantage of Belche's absence from Earth, he continuously uses the giant troops to invade in all directions to expand his territory.
The prosperous scene of the Maya Kingdom caught Akagao King's attention. After several consecutive victories over the years, he became increasingly arrogant and decided to send troops to seize this city without fully understanding the enemy's strength.
Before Akagao's army even reached the city gates, they were discovered by the Kairouka Astronomical Observation Tower. By the time they arrived at the city gates, Maya City's doors were already closed, and the drawbridge was raised. Across a moat, Akagao's vanguard officer arrogantly shouted for the people inside to open the gates or face destruction. When no one responded, Akagao ordered his soldiers to carry wooden boats across the river and force their way onto the city walls. At the same time, they set up long ladders at the drawbridge in an attempt to climb over it. As soon as the soldiers reached the moat's edge, they were met with a barrage of stones and arrows from Maya soldiers on the walls.
Seeing his injured soldiers retreating in defeat, Akagao recklessly ordered an all-out attack. Tens of thousands of soldiers surged toward the moat with deafening roars, threatening to shake down Maya City's walls. The leading Giant Soldiers rushed to the foot of the walls; despite their towering stature, they found themselves ineffective at this location and could only wave their specially made axes to block arrows and stones while shouting loudly. These Giant Soldiers had some agility due to their Lightness Skill; however, they were unable to leap over such high walls. Each time they barely managed to jump near the top of the wall, they were knocked down by spears, stones, and arrows. After numerous battles, only about a hundred of Belche's remaining Giant Soldiers were left standing; this assault resulted in heavy casualties.
Desperate, Akagao waved his flag, and tens of thousands of soldiers armed with swords and axes charged forward without regard for the depth of the moat, roaring as they pressed against the city walls. These soldiers fought valiantly; even as some fell, others pushed forward relentlessly until they reached the base of the walls from all directions with ladders ready to scale them.
At this point, all four drawbridges had been seized by attacking soldiers; ropes controlling them had been cut, allowing them to be lowered and clearing a path toward the city gates. The attacking soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to bring sturdy timber across the drawbridge and began battering against the gates. In less than half an hour, all four gates—north, south, east, and west—were breached.
Led by Giant Soldiers, Akagao's troops surged into the city like a pack of wolves howling fiercely. However, unexpectedly for them, all those at the forefront fell into traps set by Maya. The following soldiers did not retreat upon witnessing this but continued charging into what turned out to be an even larger trap prepared specifically for them.
Once inside the city, Maya vanished without a trace; however, invaders found themselves unable to move freely. At every turn there were hidden arrows shooting out; trained Maya soldiers would occasionally ambush them with swords and spears. Traps, snares, and mechanisms lay everywhere making it difficult for them to defend themselves. Maya City resembled a labyrinth; tens of thousands of soldiers who entered became like headless flies darting around aimlessly.
Some soldiers who ventured into courtyards were trapped inside—either shot or stabbed. Others found themselves cornered in narrow alleys where they were shot down or fell into roadside traps; some were ensnared by ropes or pierced by sharp bamboo stakes. Akagao's forces suffered heavy losses as tens of thousands were completely overwhelmed by this vast Maya City without realizing it, plunging them into panic. Although leading Giant Soldiers possessed combat strength, many had already fallen into traps during earlier assaults leaving only a few remaining.
The remaining three Giant Soldiers watched their companions die one by one, unable to find the enemy. Occasionally, they were hit by arrows from the shadows. Frustrated and enraged, they began to slash wildly at the stones, trees, and decorations along the street as if they were enemies.
