Star Forge Titan

Perhaps the truth is more complicated than I imagined...

"This is really..." The half-elf wizard's voice of disbelief came from behind.

"Sure enough, there must have been a highly advanced ancient civilization of giants in the Silent Desert. I've made the right choice this time! Those idiots in the council definitely don't know..."

The rest of the words gradually became quieter, and the half-elf's eyes flickered and he didn't continue speaking. There was some distance between him and Ivan, but the black-haired boy's keen hearing still heard the first half of the words clearly.

After entering the ruins, the half-elf Kalani changed his usual taciturn and aloof appearance and even became a little talkative.

Although, he was often ruined by the jokes and words of his teammates, revealing his cold-hearted nature without anyone knowing.

But Kalani's failures have been quite frequent in recent times, and there are obviously other more impactful factors.

It seems that this half-elf wizard also has his own little secret.

Alvin thought to himself.

"Kalani, come and take a look. Is this thing exactly the same as the machine on the mural just now?" A voice came from Andre's side.

Hearing this, Alvin and the half-elf wizard walked over with interest.

Sure enough, deep in the pile of machines placed together, there was a semicircular machine that looked very old.

It is about five meters high, and the holes on its sides are large enough to accommodate three adult catworms side by side.

However, there are obvious signs of rust on the surface of the machine, and it is not as intact as in the mural.

"It should be." The half-elf knocked on the machine casing uncertainly, and the sound showed that it should be made of metal.

"There is no light." Alvin said suddenly.

He noticed that, unlike the machine depicted on the mural, the actual object before him did not emit any light.

Moreover, he did not sense any magic power from inside the machine, nor did he perceive any other energy reactions.

Even if this machine wasn't powered by magic, it shouldn't be as cold and silent as it is now.

This made Alvin begin to suspect that the "skill learning machine" in front of him must have exhausted all its reserve energy.

This can explain why the cat-worms that have survived to this day are much more stupid than their ancestors, because they lack a very important learning link.

The ancestors of the cat and worm left behind complete murals, probably because they considered that the energy of the machines would eventually run out, and wanted to use this method to leave enough knowledge for future generations.

Civilization is like a never-ending marathon. The continuous advancement of technology will drive it to take faster and bigger steps, and countless miracles will give birth to even greater miracles, until the masters of civilization possess power like gods.

But in the end they will find that the real power is still in the hands of time. To leave eternal footprints in the long river of time will be more difficult than transforming the entire world.

So, at the end of this long journey, the civilization that thinks it is mature can only do the same things as the infant-like civilization in ancient times.

Carve the words on the stone...

Alvin suddenly remembered a sentence he had read in a novel.

The scene before him gave him a deeper understanding of these words.

Time, oh time, you are so great and so cruel, but you are extremely fair to all individuals and even civilizations.

He is indifferent to all existence.

So, is there anything I can do?

To change this indifference, this cruel reality.

Perhaps, this is the ambition that a time traveler should have?

A seed began to be planted in Alvin's heart. Watered frequently by many thoughts, the seed gradually became no longer silent, and a faint sound of cracking could be heard on its surface.

The light symbolizing will in the soul shines brighter and brighter, and even the two flawless gems rotating in the center of the lepton space are flashing, as if communicating and conveying some kind of information.

The appearance of the golden knight, constructed in the mind space using the Steel God's forging meditation method, is quietly undergoing some indescribable changes.

A new power will slowly build in the souls of the last descendants of the Titans.

Perhaps at the other end of a long period of time, great achievements that will amaze the world will be born.

Who can tell what will happen in the future?

"Ah!" A cry of surprise came from Lilim.

She had not gone with Andre and the others to check the tool pile, and she was not interested in any machines.

Therefore, Lilim did not join the men in 'picking up trash', but just casually looked at the other walls around her.

As a result, on the wall other than the one with the large number of murals, the halfling discovered an extremely shocking picture.

Everyone gathered together again because of their companions' exclamations, and they all looked at the wall that Lilim pointed at.

In the dim room, they saw that there was only one mural on the wall, a mural so huge that it occupied the front wall.

Following the light emitted from Ivan's fingertips, the full picture of the mural was completely revealed to everyone.

"This is!"

"My God!"

"Could it be that this is the Silent Desert..."

The various exclamations gradually faded into silence. The shocking scene made everyone subconsciously hold their breath.

The mural depicts the sky, the earth, and the disaster of extinction that is engulfing the entire sky and earth at this moment.

The mural, which occupies an entire wall, is enormous, but even more awe-inspiring than its astonishing area is the content it depicts.

Countless flames fell from the sky. They were colorless and looked like transparent raindrops. They fell silently to the ground, as if they wanted to wipe out all the colors in the world and leave only the same colorless and transparent ones as themselves!

Under the rain of fire, countless huge monsters that were twisted to the extreme were roaring and howling.

They look strange and completely different from humans, but even through the simple pictures described on the murals, one can still feel an extremely strong sense of alienation like the uncanny valley effect.

At the same time, this vast land was filled with monsters and covered by rain of fire.

Currently...

combustion!!!

Chapter 46: World-destroying natural disaster

The colorless fire fell like rain, as if to wipe out all the colors in the world.

This scene left all the team members speechless for a long time, as if they had turned into stone statues and merged into it.

Although it is just a mural carved on the wall, the impact brought by the huge picture and content is incomparable and shocking.

Judging from the detailed style, this picture should have been left by the earliest cat-worm ancestors with complete intelligence.

Apart from the horrifying scenes that seemed like the destruction of the world, they did not leave much text description.

There is only a short and simple sentence engraved in the lower right corner of the picture.

Unexpectedly, it was not the ancient Norse language that the accompanying cats used to record various information on a daily basis, but the more complex, real Uranus language used by the Titans.

It was for this reason that Alvin saw the half-elf wizard constantly standing there pulling his hair.

Even so, the half-elf Kalani didn't understand the meaning for a long time, which made people worry that if he continued like this, he would become a very rare half-elf that would not normally appear... a bald half-elf, uh, or maybe a half-bald half-elf.

Putting the impolite thoughts behind him, Alvin silently turned his gaze to the text itself.

The black-haired boy who inherited the language could naturally understand the Uranus language, but the content inside made him almost unable to control his expression, because it was really too shocking.

[The poison left by the pure-colored super beast has spread. After the destruction order is issued, the release of the rain of pure fire will be irreversible. More than one-third of the land will be burned. This result will be difficult to recover for thousands of years.

May the king's soul bless us, may the kingdom continue forever, may the fire of Uranus civilization be passed on forever, and may the left arm created by the great giant god once again lead us back to a happy, prosperous, and productive garden.

——————The last person on duty in the maintenance department of the factory-type mobile fortress Herbert 001 - Xiu Mipa No. 3 Wrench IV.

Below the lines of text, there was another line of very scribbled small words.

Judging from the handwriting, the writer was very excited, so it appears particularly messy.

I curse you! I curse you with my mere mortal form! Greedy pure-colored Ultra Beast, damned Monsantoka! May the great Titan's right arm of destruction one day fall upon your heads! Every single one of them!

Burning one-third of the land...

What kind of power could do something so exaggerated that it could change the surface of the planet?

Originally, he thought that the Giant Kingdom only possessed part of the Uranus civilization heritage, but things of this level should have far exceeded the scope of the remaining technology!

It's as if humans have buried thousands of nuclear weapons underground as heirlooms for future generations.

Would a normal person do this?

Oh wait, it doesn’t seem impossible. Sometimes reality is more magical than fiction.

What's more, the rulers of the Giant Kingdom are also the descendants of the Titans, so it is not impossible to think so.

Numb...

At this moment, Alvin only felt that the more he came into contact with things related to the Uranus civilization, the less surprised he would be at how much unimaginable technology these beings possessed.

Shaking his head, he focused his attention on a few other key words in the speech.

Pure color super beast?

This word reminded Alvin of the images he read from deep within the Golden Knight Disgulan system.

The Uranus civilization established by the Titans seemed to be engaged in a protracted battle with the monsters so called, and the battlefield between the two sides even extended to the vast universe at one point.

It is hard to imagine what a grand, tragic and cruel war that would be.

Analyze the massive amount of information contained in that short paragraph combined with other information Ivan had previously learned.

You will know that the aftermath of the subsequent wars alone destroyed the Giant Kingdom again, forcing them to retreat to the north and eventually disappear completely, leaving only ignorant descendants who inherited some fragments of their bloodline and lived a tribal life like barbarians.

What exactly happened on the other side of the long river of time?

Alvin's curiosity was aroused more and more.

On the other side, the elven wizard finally deciphered a word.

"Nuclear, Herbert? That seems to be a noun?"

Unexpectedly, everyone else was unfamiliar with this name, except for the orc who suddenly frowned and said:

"Herbert? I seem to have heard that name before."

"Ok?"

Everyone turned their eyes to the orc Gaoshan, which made him feel a little embarrassed, and his green face turned slightly red.

"Ahem, it actually happened quite a while ago. The elders in the tribe told us a story about the King of Sandworms."

"The whole story is not complicated. I still remember part of it..."

The orc coughed lightly and tried to appear serious, but his silly appearance with protruding fangs and a round body completely destroyed the solemnity and made him look a bit silly instead.

But the words that came out of the orc's mouth afterwards inexplicably carried an atmosphere of solemnity and majesty.

"The king of sandworms feeds on his offspring, and the birth of storms is his breath!"

"Its infamous name is Herbert the Kin-Eater!"

"And then?" The half-elf mage's attitude was different from his usual cold attitude. Instead, he asked eagerly:

"Then, the name of the king of the sandworms inside is Herbert."

"What's next?" Half-elf Kalani stared at the orc with complete dissatisfaction.

"Then? Then nothing happened."

The orc spread his hands and said confidently that this was all he knew.

"What!?!" The half-elf wizard kept his mouth open for a long time.

"The specific story is that someone saw the sandworm king Herbert eating his own children. He was just like other creatures in the desert that prey on young sandworms to survive. It's basically to teach children the simple truth that the strong prey on the weak." The orc looked at his teammates innocently.

"...is this what your tribe teaches?" Andre asked speechlessly.

"Hey, orcs are barbarians. If I hadn't met the Free Fist mentor when I was a kid, I would probably have become an ordinary barbarian orc in the desert, only knowing how to yell wagggggh and fight."

Gao Shan was quite open-minded about this and didn't mind being said so directly.

“Knowledge changes destiny.”

The orc, who looked silly but full of wildness, sighed.

"Wow, that doesn't sound like something Takayama would say at all."
