Star Forge Titan

The changes in engineering insect beasts are so obvious, and the changes in combat insect beasts are even more obvious.

The soldier-level combat insect beast was directly chopped off and rebuilt, with two pairs of powerful wings on its back for flying. Its own structure also became a slender shape similar to that of a wasp. The first pair of forelimbs were equipped with regenerable and launchable conical long spines, which fully met the needs of long-range and short-range attacks on different battlefields.

Only the pair of mouthparts with amazing biting force were retained, but their size was also reduced by several percent to a certain extent.

Among these changes, the ability to fly is the biggest change, just like the difference between a fast-crawling cockroach and a flying cockroach. The army can be transformed into an air force in minutes.

Seeing this scene, Alvin did not feel happy, but instead stroked his forehead helplessly.

"I told you not to use child labor."

Chapter 138 Who is not old?

It turns out that it is really not a good idea for children to work.

There are worker bees that are as fat as balls, Bingfeng (the new code name for soldier-level insect beasts) whose heads are too heavy to fly, and buildings that appear to have three heads and a rounded body.

The fighting insect swarm, whose appearance was originally full of the unique strangeness of insects and at the same time combined with the smooth curves of industrial creations, now seemed to be filtered with a kindergarten style painting filter, and suddenly mutated from top to bottom in a strange direction.

Fortunately, as one of the most advanced products among magical creatures, the ship-borne combat insects may need quite some time to develop a mature personality, but their working ability will improve as fast as copying and pasting.

In less than five minutes, what was flying around Ivan were no longer those top-heavy weapons, but biological combat weapons that met the military construction standards of the ancient Giant Kingdom.

In addition, the cat-and-mouse bugs driving the aircraft were also flying around in the large cavity where Hermopolis was located. The aircraft, which looked like a monoplane, made a buzzing sound after starting the magic engine, which was comparable to the sound of the wings of Bingfeng vibrating.

The surface of the aircraft is also decorated with various murals in the style of a cat and insect tribe. At first glance, the colorful and eye-catching colors make it seem as if the sky is full of ace pilots.

"Such a huge ancient ruins is really... I don't know what to say." The voice of the female wizard Heidi came from the side. She could not even maintain the fake smile on her face. It was because the ruins left by the ancient giant kingdom in front of her were too exaggerated.

Ordinary people might only be amazed at the size and unique architectural style of the ruins, but for scholars like her from the City of a Thousand Towers, the fact that a man-made object of such a scale could be suspended in mid-air was an exaggerated sight that would make the mages who knew the most about the level of modern magical civilization drop their jaws in amazement.

"In fact, this artifact wasn't entirely built by the Kingdom itself. Its supporting framework, the nine circular rings beneath our feet, was actually completed long before the Kingdom was founded. It was simply kept in a warehouse as spare parts for something else, and was later used by the Kingdom to build the Domain of Ten Thousand Gates—the hub city of Hermopolis."

The words of the activation adjutant made Heidi's expression completely uncontrollable. Her beautiful blue eyes were as round as a cat in the dark, and Ivan next to her also showed a look of surprise.

"Spare parts?" His attention was drawn to the word.

This massive foundation, as massive as a city, is actually just a component of something else? Just how staggering would the scale of a creation that required components of this magnitude to be assembled together be?

"Yes, according to the description in the ancient records, for the Lords, even the nine-ring base that can support the entire Hermopolis is just a spare part that can be easily mass-produced." The activation adjutant said proudly.

"That happened when the Lords were still walking the earth."

"Faced with this abominable land teeming with suffering, the Lords transformed into giant gods taller than the sky. They extinguished the lava that had previously blanketed the earth, purified the ocean once filled with poisonous water, and thickened the once fragile and thin sky to a level strong enough to withstand the scorching heat of the external evil light."

"In the end, the entire world is like clay in the hands of a craftsman, reshaped by the giant lords into a gentle appearance that can sustain countless lives." The revitalized adjutant recited the mythological chapters inherited from the ancient giant kingdom in a chanting tone, and Alvin also deduced some clues from it.

Even the Giant Kingdom, the heir to an unknown legacy, has relatively limited knowledge of the Titans who once descended upon this world. They revere them more as gods than as heirs to a complete civilization.

Therefore, the development of the Giant Kingdom's civilization is likely to deviate significantly from the normal, step-by-step development of a civilization. They may simply know how to use the things they possess, without understanding why they produce such effects, just like the metal platform before them, as large as a town, yet able to defy gravity and float in the center of a vast void.

And those legendary stories that seemed like poems also gave him a subtle sense of déjà vu for a time traveler with unique experiences.

Planetary transformation, alien Gaiaization, environmental reshaping...

Like popcorn popping, nouns that once existed in science fiction works flashed through Alvin's mind one after another.

"Incredible power," Heidi whispered softly.

"I think if you have that kind of power, even a permanent ice field that has been frozen for thousands of years can grow wheat fields, right?" As she said this, she looked at Ivan seriously with eyes full of inexplicable light.

Although it sounded like a completely impossible fantasy, Alvin did not immediately deny the other party's words.

On the contrary, he smiled and raised his right hand, letting a dark golden light shine between his fingers.

“It’s difficult, but you can try.”

Reshaping the world, coupled with the soul of King Uranus, if one can develop one's core talents and soul power to a deeper level, even the kind of miraculous fantasy is worth a try.

Heidi and the activation adjutant nodded silently, fully believing that the black-haired boy in front of them was qualified and capable of saying such words.

"First of all, we have to solve the problem at hand." Alvin sighed. Until now, there has been no news from the insect swarm and cat-bugs that went out to search.

It seems that after completing its first metamorphosis, the hybrid insect beast has already taken the road of Hermopolis and headed to the city of the underworld - Abyss.

"Regarding this point, I have some suggestions that I hope will be adopted." The activation adjutant respectfully saluted Ivan with his hand on his chest.

"No need to be so polite." Alvin waved his hand to indicate that the other party could speak freely.

"I just tried to contact the central thinking module of Hermopolis, but I only got a minimal automatic response." The activation adjutant frowned slightly, his tone hesitant.

"Perhaps because it has been sealed for too long, even a teleportation hub like Hermopolis, built on the legacy of the Great Lord, has been forced to adopt a silent state to reduce its own consumption in order to ensure its long-term survival."

"However, without the support of the central thinking module, the large factory ship where this machine is located will not be able to reach the underworld city - Abyss by long-distance transmission."

"Wait, you mean teleport?" Heidi said in surprise.

As a mage, she certainly knew how difficult it was to perform space-related teleportation magic, not to mention the prerequisites of driving over long distances and on a large scale, which were levels that current magic technology simply could not achieve.

"That's right. To ensure the rapid deployment of troops and the transportation of materials for the construction of the fortress city, the kingdom was forced to activate the highest-level heritage sealed by the Third Heritage Management Agency at the end of the Pure Color Disaster and established the hub port of Hermopolis, which is capable of transporting super-large units over long distances." The tone of the activation adjutant revealed helplessness, but also a bit of unconcealable pride.

"But also because of the use of the Third Heritage Management Agency to seal the heritage, it will take at least three months to fully activate Hermopolis from its dormant state. Remember, this was the largest hub port in the late Kingdom, and our manpower is pitifully limited."

"Wait, even if the Sandworm King cannot be teleported directly, what about other things?" Alvin quickly realized the key point in the words of the Activation Adjutant and vaguely guessed something.

The latter nodded immediately, and this action allowed him to confirm his previous guess.

"The teleportation function of small units should still be able to operate." The activation adjutant looked at Ivan hesitantly.

"But if that happens, the number of people who can go to Abyss, the city of the underworld, will be quite limited."

"My Lord, perhaps you shouldn't take that risk." The animated adjutant sighed. As an essentially electronic device, it became more humane after being beaten.

"Indeed, even if that monster wasn't your match initially, now that it's reached the ruins first, who knows what dangerous treasures it might have discovered. It's not wise to rush in," Heidi advised earnestly.

Ivan immediately shook his head.

"Although all civilizations on the Palladia continent are vibrant at this stage, their overall development remains at a relatively low level. This means that the Pure Color Disaster that led to the destruction of the ancient Giant Kingdom was simply not something these nations could resist."

"Genzheng, it means we will perish together." The activated adjutant who integrated the memory of the previous generation captain couldn't help but speak.

"Yeah." Without arguing with the other party about this matter, Alvin directly pulled out various equipment from the spiritual space.

Now is not the time to train himself. He must face any challenges that may arise next in his strongest condition.

"You stay here, continue repairing the Sandworm King and try to activate Hermopolis's thinking module."

"I will lead a group of combat bugs to Abyss first."

"In the past, the giants expended their efforts to fill the cracks, purify the oceans, and thicken the sky, ultimately transforming this world into the gentle landscape it is today."

"If a mere foreign pest wants to destroy all this, even if it's just an uncertain probability event, I don't want to take the risk at all."

After saying this, the young black-haired fighter grasped his personal weapon that had not appeared for a long time. This legendary longsword given by King Afrediya of Elrond immediately ignited with bright celestial flames.

But what was even brighter was the golden radiance shining in Ivan's eyes.

"Protecting the world is a phrase that makes young people go crazy."

“And I am the young man.”

Chapter 139: Fire Unleashed

The shape of this sword seems familiar?

Heidi frowned and thought for a moment, feeling a little uncertain.

But her attention was soon diverted by other things.

A magical device capable of teleporting a single object up to one million meters away.

This is the most critical core function of the hub port of Hermopolis, and it is also an exaggerated data that is enough to make modern magic students think that their ears have been cursed. At least this was the reaction of the female wizard herself when she heard it.

When Ivan, under the guidance of the activation adjutant, quickly arrived at the single-person teleportation network located in the third ring of Hermopolis, the mechanical device in front of him, which was parasitized by dark red flesh and blood tissue, immediately made everyone realize a tricky reality.

The hybrid insect beast that had escaped earlier had indeed been here. Not only did it use the teleportation device to get a head start, it also caused irreversible damage to the teleportation device itself.

"Has the power of pure color not been used up? It can even corrode and assimilate machines. It's surprising that it can even do such a thing." As he said this, Alvin frowned and grasped the golden hilt of the magic sword Burning Justice. Unexpectedly, the touch of the metal was not cold at all, allowing him to calmly observe the twisted tissue.

I didn't use weapons before, on the one hand to familiarize myself with boxing, and on the other hand because I hadn't awakened my soul power, so I couldn't fully unleash the power of the legendary magic weapon in my hand, and it would be easy to expose my true identity.

If necessary, the soul-made weapon, the Annihilation Axe, is sufficient as a substitute for most situations.

But it doesn't matter now. Ivan's boxing skills have reached a certain level, and he successfully awakened the power of his soul in the battle with the Witch King. He is surrounded by companions who know his identity, not to mention the imminent crisis that requires all his attention.

then……

The long sword that had been dormant for a long time was finally unsheathed.

Celestial Greatsword - Burning Justice.

This is a gorgeous giant sword with a blade as red as fire and a winged golden dragon carved on the handle.

The sword's body is not made of metal, but is composed of bright red astral crystal. This crystal clear material is tougher than steel. At the same time, it can respond to the sword holder's own strong will and exert a powerful force that is no less powerful than high-level magic.

For a user of this size, such a huge magic sword is actually a bit too heavy. Its nearly two-meter length and exaggerated mass indicate that this weapon far exceeds the scope of an ordinary two-handed sword in terms of weight and size.

But for Ivan, who is three meters tall after the restrictions are removed in combat, he can easily pick up a weapon of this size with one hand and use it as a conventional weapon.

The violent and powerful original magic power was infused into it, and the legendary magic sword converted it into high-concentration positive energy with extremely high efficiency. The heavenly flames formed by this were as red as blood, making the whole room begin to heat up.

"You actually carry this level of magical equipment with you. Northern boy, you are becoming more and more surprising." Heidi, a wizard, couldn't help but take a few steps back, but the expression on her face looked very subtle.

"The fourth energy level, has the current technological level of civilization reached the level where it can create magical creations of this level? That's much better than expected." The activated adjutant who inherited the memory of the previous captain was also quite emotional.

The fourth energy level he mentioned should correspond to the "Legendary" level in the current classification of magic devices. Magic weapons of this level can fully carry the user's own soul power. Even in the era of the Giant Kingdom, it is considered high-end equipment. Even during the kingdom's most prosperous period, it could only be equipped in small batches to the deep strike corps composed of elite warriors.

As if sensing a threat, the twisted tissue parasitic on the mechanical device rapidly extended several tentacles covered in thorns. Immediately afterwards, the air was filled with an extremely sharp whistling sound. The rapidly waving tentacles even exploded into clouds of white gas at the ends, shockingly exceeding the speed of sound.

Sensing something, the celestial flames rising around Burning Justice suddenly intensified, and a line of gilded text immediately appeared on the surface of the sword - "Sanctus! Sanctus! Sanctus! Cast in the name of God, ye no guity!"

The artificially cast steel soul with the appearance of an angel inside then opened its eyes.

'We are facing a formidable enemy, and we must eradicate all evil!'

A sonorous and powerful voice like the long ringing of an ancient bell echoed in Ivan's ears, and a corresponding serious expression appeared on the young fighter's face.

"Ah, that's as it should be." Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot.

Two golden rays of light burst forth from his pupils, and a crown of golden-red light appeared above his head. The Titan's bloodline activated his own soul power and fully infused it into the Celestial Greatsword - Burning Justice. The forged steel soul's facial features all emitted light, and amidst the roar, bright red flames of positive energy rose and danced wildly.

The next second, the sharp whistling sound caused by the supersonic waving of the tentacles in the air suddenly disappeared, and large pieces of ashes scattered like snow.

The sword skills he originally mastered and the countless boxing techniques he learned from the Silent Desert, these long-standing combat skills were integrated with ten years of rich combat experience in Virtual Paladia, plus the six-dimensional attributes of the Titan body that had entered the realm of perfection.

Strength and skill, control both!

The combination of all the above forms a majestic existence that all warriors instinctively want to worship.

In just a blink of an eye, all thirty-seven tentacles that grew from the twisted flesh and blood tissue were cut off. At the same time, the heavenly flames strengthened by Ivan's own soul power also exploded, leaving trails of light along the way, burning all the extremely corrosive flesh and blood tissues.

The twisted flesh that was parasitically attached to the teleporter screamed and turned into ashes, revealing the severely damaged remaining part, which made Ivan frown immediately.

Regardless of any technical difficulties, the time spent just finding the parts necessary for repair is not a small amount.

"Are there other similar devices? This is a hub port, there can't be only one single-person teleportation point, right?"

Hearing his question, the Activation Adjutant finally came back to his senses from his surprise.

As the humanoid communication interface of the thinking module, it should not have felt surprised, but the battle just now was too shocking. Even though it only lasted for less than a second, it also made the activated adjutant who inherited the memory of the previous captain dazed.

"As you expected, similar devices nearby can also achieve the same effect." The activation adjutant bowed in awe.

"The entire Hermopolis teleportation mechanism actually relies on the core heritage carried within. Any other devices built by the kingdom are essentially just external diversion devices used to share the core heritage's power."

"Similar to the relationship between the main water inlet valve and the faucet?" Alvin muttered, and he was able to quickly understand the design ideas of the ancient giant kingdom in his own way.

"That sword." Heidi, who was a little uncertain at first, completely confirmed a guess in her mind after seeing the heavenly words that appeared on the sword just now.

In the City of Thousand Towers, even if a high-level mage like her cannot be reused due to factional reasons, she still has the right to browse some rare information collected in the academy, which are often top secrets that wild extraordinary people cannot access at all.

Celestial Greatsword - Burning Justice...

Boy from the North, do you still have some connection with the Fire Realm?

Chapter 140: Anxiety Scale

Fire Realm Heaven.

A piece of information that is quite secret even among high-level mages.

If it weren't for an accident, even a wizard like Heidi, who was born in the City of a Thousand Towers and received a complete education, might not have known it.
