Star Forge Titan

Even as he pondered this, the smooth, seamless metal barrier began to ripple like waves, and a variety of magical machinery emerged from it like a submarine emerging from the water. Among them were obvious offensive weapons, and other sophisticated equipment for detection.

Ivan stood quietly, letting the different frequencies of magical energy sweep through him. The power contained within was considerable, and even arcs of electricity from the magical energy burst through his hair.

Although he did not understand the rules of the Giant Kingdom, he was very clear about his identity as an authority holder.

The same thing happened to the activated adjutant, who also knew this. It hung obediently on Ivan's lower back like a decorative pendant like a keychain, without making any sound the entire time.

Shanwang, however, seemed a little irritated by the tingling electric current during the scan. Fortunately, he was a clever horse, and now he had undergone a transformation into a hull-like creature. Even though he was a little irritated, he quickly regained his composure under Ivan's comfort.

Once the complex scanning and review were complete, the attacking weapons immediately lowered, and the various magical mechanical devices also retreated in the same posture. Although they were merely cold machines, they now exuded a reverent aura, as if they were bowing down to Ivan and apologizing for their sins.

A soft glow replaced the warning red light, and the surrounding metal walls were once again covered with gorgeous decorative projections. Even the voice emitted by the thinking module returned to its original gentle female voice.

"My apologies, holder of supreme administrative authority. I am Embra, the central thinking module of the Third Heritage Management Agency." A light flashed, and a shadowy female figure emerged from the wall. She continued,

"According to your previous instructions, the mobile platform will soon head to our agency's core vault - the Lightless Abyss."

"Also, according to the regulations of the Third Heritage Management Authority, since your entourage does not possess sufficient authority, the platform will be temporarily stopped in Guest Lounge No. 143. Please wait there for a moment."

The central thinking module, who called herself Embra, spoke softly, but it was clear from the fact that the room had not started to move that if she disagreed, it would likely take more effort to reach the core vault of the Black Hammer Lemnos, which she mentioned, the Lightless Abyss.

"I understand." Alvin nodded, then picked up the animated adjutant with one hand, who only had his head.

"Do you know what the Lightless Abyss is?"

“…” As if just turned on, the activated adjutant’s eyes lit up again.

"I'm sorry, although I inherited the memories of the previous captain, even a high-ranking officer like the previous captain cannot know this level of information."

"Well, I'm the one who should say sorry. Please take care of the Mountain King later. Although it is so tall, it is actually still a young horse that has just reached adulthood in terms of age." Alvin showed an apologetic look and let go, allowing the animated adjutant to fly away on its own.

Then, he touched the head of the Sanwang next to him. The latter seemed to realize that the environment he was in was very special. At this moment, he behaved very well. He didn't look like the kind of hot-tempered horse that would pick a fight with other horses for no reason.

"Be good and behave yourself. If you can promise not to cause any trouble, I'll take you out for a good run in the open air after we get out."

Ivan's promise obviously pleased the Mountain King. The tall horse snorted and made a strange "Pululu" sound, which was considered as agreeing to his master's request.

The three of them chatted about some random things, but even Ivan felt a little nervous at the moment. He had an inexplicable feeling inside this special building dedicated to storing Titan relics.

Not long after, the moving elevator stopped for the first time. During the whole process, only Alvin, with his extraordinary perception of entering the perfect realm, could slightly notice some changes.

Soon, the wall parted to reveal a door wide enough for a horse as tall as the Mountain King to pass through. On the other side was a spacious lounge furnished with sofas and other furniture. The animated lieutenant nodded to Ivan, then floated over, grabbed the reins, and led the Mountain King out. The Mountain King kept looking back, looking very reluctant to leave, perhaps because he was in such an unfamiliar environment.

After the animal and horse left, the wall closed again until no gap was visible, and the moving platform increased its speed again.

This time, Alvin could clearly feel that the speed was much faster than before, and he couldn't help but concentrate his attention to deal with possible emergencies.

During the entire movement, Embra, the central thinking module, was very quiet, and the virtual projection always maintained a polite smile at the corner of its mouth.

After a while, Ivan felt the speed of the mobile platform begin to slow down, and then he heard her prompt:

"Your Excellency, Administrator, this platform is approaching the Lightless Abyss. Do you need to activate the viewing mode?"

"Turn it on." Alvin said softly in affirmation. He needed more information to make a judgment.

Then, the surrounding walls suddenly became completely transparent, which made the mobile platform look more like a platform, and the external scene revealed made Alvin squint his eyes.

The mobile platform was now passing through a wide and dark space. There was no support structure around it, as if the entire room was floating in the air.

Due to the extremely dark external environment, the extremely vast space below is like a lightless ocean with no visibility at the bottom, or a dark abyss without any light.

Such a scene makes it clear where the name of the Lightless Abyss comes from, and also makes people wonder what is stored in this vault with an astonishing area.

Suddenly, Alvin opened his pair of golden eyes that could penetrate the darkness wide open. The existence that caught his eyes at this moment was far more shocking than the Lightless Abyss itself.

A huge warship with a familiar shape and a length of one kilometer!

Chapter 148: Three Days Miracle

Something is wrong!

At this moment, Alvin felt his hands were trembling slightly.

For a warrior, a warrior with powerful extraordinary strength, this is almost unbelievable.

But the scene before him was so shocking that he began to wonder if he was trapped in some kind of illusion that was difficult to escape.

In the boundless darkness of an indeterminate space, a man-made structure stood silently, its edges too vast to discern. The portion within his sight alone was over a kilometer long, comparable to a thirty-story building resting on the ground, or three aircraft carriers connected end to end, fused into a single entity.

The feeling of déjà vu kept coming, and Alvin opened his eyes wide and carefully scanned every corner of the visible part of the giant.

It feels like the person standing in front of you is a stranger you have never met before, but the details of his or her appearance make you feel that he or she is very similar to an acquaintance you have spent every day with in your memory.

After thinking for a moment, the young man suddenly had an epiphany. He finally figured out where the sense of déjà vu came from.

The Rogilas!

The real Rogilas!

Well, the ancient Giant Kingdom might have called her something else.

In short, if you look closely, you can clearly see that the visible part of the man-made giant below is actually basically the same as the appearance of the bridge of the Rogilas and part of the top deck!

The modified model spaceship, which he named Rogilas, was actually a high-precision ship model used by the Giant Kingdom to conduct various forward tests.

Since there are experimental models, it is not surprising that there are officially completed prototypes.

Roughly speaking, Alvin remembered that the length of the model warship he had obtained before was about 70 meters, and no more than 80 meters at most.

He vaguely remembered reading a popular science article in his previous life that the ratio of a fighter jet wind tunnel model to the actual aircraft was about 1:10 or 1:14. This was mainly because the higher the wind speed, the more difficult it was to build a wind tunnel, which led to a technical limit on the size of a high-speed wind tunnel.

If the wind speed requirement for testing is lower, such as in wind tunnel testing of technological products such as high-speed rail locomotives, the actual-sized locomotive shell can even be placed directly into a large wind tunnel for testing.

Back to the point, what is the ratio between the high-precision model of the early experiments of the floating battleship or spacecraft and the actual prototype?

If the scale of the model was 1:10, the actual warship would be over 700 meters long. However, the visible portion alone was over 1 kilometer, or 1,000 meters long. It was impossible to be a mere 1:10 ratio.

And this is just the length of the bridge and part of the top deck combined.

It is boundless and unfathomable.

Like sand and gravel to the mountains, like a drop of water to the vast ocean!

Such a huge monster, even if viewed from a very long distance, will make you feel your own insignificance and the grandeur of the mountains very clearly, just like an ordinary person standing at the foot of a mountain and looking up at the boundless mountain range.

Even though Alvin knew that the ancient giant kingdom inherited part of the Titans' legacy, he still felt that placing a behemoth of this size on the surface of the planet was an exaggeration.

The technological capabilities of the ancient Giant Kingdom far surpassed those of the newly developed mortal kingdom today, but he still couldn't imagine how the kingdom had built such an exaggerated man-made giant.

"This...how big is this ship?" Alvin muttered to himself subconsciously. At the same time, he recalled that when he first came into contact with the model of the Rogilas, he accidentally sensed a small amount of fragmented information.

[Final Plan Phase 3, Trial Run Successful] [Technology Verification Type Universal Battleship] [Light] [Usable in multiple dimensions: sea, land, air, and the etheric outer realm] [Semi-perpetual motion vacuum shrinkage type infinite magic power creation device, codenamed 'Seat'] [Capable of carrying the throne of Black Hammer Lemnos]

……

[Final plan…execution base…]

This ship has a great history and is likely to be the Giant Kingdom's true backup, which is why it is retained in such an extremely important department as the Third Heritage Management Agency.

As various speculations emerged in his mind, Ivan also heard the thinking module named 'Embra' begin to answer his question.

"I'm sorry, but detailed data related to this is prohibited. Even this machine doesn't retain any of it." A soft female voice calmly gave an unsurprising answer.

"Then tell me what you know." Alvin frowned, feeling that things were far beyond his original expectations.

Putting aside the technical difficulties, if the productivity of the Giant Kingdom at that time could produce a giant of this level, the corresponding steel production and disposable energy level would have reached the level of cosmic civilization. How could it possibly remain in a corner of the material world?

"This ship is a superluminal, all-purpose spaceship designed for stellar navigation, after the wisdom of the kingdom's sages for three hundred years was gathered to complete the starship blueprints left by the Lord."

"Also, inside is a dedicated mobile vault, the Lightless Abyss, which is used to preserve all existing Titan heritage."

"In addition, this ship also serves as the throne ship of the Immortal-class Titan Creation—Black Hammer Lemnos. It can assist royal family members who possess the Great Lord's genetic genes to truly unleash the power of Black Hammer Lemnos, thereby completely eliminating the threat posed by the pure-colored Ultra Beast to the planet Palladio."

"Wait!" Alvin keenly caught a very important piece of information.

"You mentioned the planet Palladia, didn't you?"

"That's right, Planet Palladia, the name of the planet we stand on, the cradle of civilization praised by countless poets." Embra, the central thinking module, gave the relevant explanation in an unchanged tone.

But Alvin felt as if a bolt of lightning struck his head. Many of his previous guesses were verified, and at the same time, more questions emerged.

If Palladia is really a planet, it means that this place that looks like a fantasy world is actually in some strange universe.

If so, what is the material world where the mortal realms reside? What is the upper plane where the gods reside? What is the Outer Realm? What is the Deep Hell where the evil gods reside?

Taking a deep breath and putting these questions aside for the time being, Alvin turned his attention back to the huge battleship itself.

"Three hundred years to complete the project seems relatively reasonable." The boy's words were immediately denied by the central thinking module.

"No, actually, three hundred years is just the design time." Embra then continued:

"The official construction time of this unnamed warship is only 72 hours, or 0.00821917808219 sidereal hours."

"This is impossible!" Alvin shouted subconsciously.

"It's because the last princess of the royal family, Ishtori, awakened the blood of the Lord at birth, and thus was able to activate the power of the immortal giant god creation - Black Hammer Lemnos."

"Using the immense power of the Titan's creation, in just 0.00821917808219 sidereal hours, the throne ship, which the kingdom's sages believed would be impossible to complete within a thousand years, was transformed into reality."

At this moment, Embra, the thinking module that should have no emotions, also revealed a kind of fanaticism in his tone.

"Reverence the royal blood! Praise the giant god's creation!"

“This is a miracle bestowed by the Lord!”

Chapter 149: Ascending to the Stars

If someone had told Alvin before today that the entire construction process of a huge warship measured in kilometers could be completed within three days.

He would just raise his hand and give the guy a big slap in the face, telling him to go back to bed and talk about his illogical dreams first, and to speak logically in real life.

But after witnessing countless miracles (cheating) related to Titans, even when hearing about this kind of setting that even science fiction writers might not dare to use, Ivan couldn't deny it immediately. At least he was skeptical and waited for verification.

"Beyond its primary function of engine shell modification, the Black Hammer Lemnos, in the hands of Princess Ishtarli, also demonstrated the ability to disintegrate and reconstruct all mass within a wide area. By completely disintegrating a large mountain range rich in minerals, they were able to complete the main structure of this massive warship."

Decompose and then reconstruct, the more Alvin listened, the more familiar it felt, and he always had a sense of déjà vu.

He quickly realized that this ability was clearly Titan's core talent [Reshaping the World]. At best, there was a difference in the scope of influence and the efficiency of the reshaping, but there was no essential difference.

No wonder it is shaped like a hammer...

Perhaps for Titan, in addition to modifying the engine case, the Black Hammer will also be used as a wrench, screwdriver, or even a hammer with a similar tone and appearance.

Of course, the technology contained therein is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary tools.

While he was thinking, Aiwen heard the projection beside him continue to introduce:

"Unfortunately, the Fate-Bending Disaster struck before the project was officially completed. The Kingdom only had time to transport the main body to the interior of the fortress city. Subsequent internal processes were completely handed over to this machine and the automatic magical machinery."

Hearing this, Alvin realized that the thinking module Embra still hadn't said the name of the ship, so he couldn't help but ask.

"So, even though the warehouses inside this ship have names, the ship itself doesn't even have an official name?"

"That's right. Without Princess Ishtori's assistance, various secondary processes other than the main project, including cabin decoration, consumed more than 513.34293 sidereal standard hours. And because there are no crew members on board, only the mooring test has been completed and the navigation test has not yet been carried out." Embra, the thinking module of the Third Heritage Management Agency, spoke about the regrettable topic in an orderly manner.

Although her voice had only slight fluctuations in simulated tone, just like the animated adjutant's, Alvin could hear a sense of sadness and regret for the demise of civilization.

"Except for the princess, no other royal family member can use the Black Hammer Lemnos?"

"Indeed, among all the royal family members, only the first Giant King and the last Princess were able to truly harness the power of Black Hammer Lemnos. Other royal family members, even the Nine Pillar Kings, could only barely touch a small portion of that power."

Embra's words made people sigh. Compared with the former Titan Ouranos civilization, even a highly developed magical civilization like the Giant Kingdom still had a considerable gap. The latter had spent hundreds of years and still could not analyze the former's creations.

"Ishtori..." Ivan whispered to himself. He once traveled across time and looked into the eyes of the last princess, who possessed some powerful prophetic ability that could span thousands of years.

This made it difficult for him not to wonder whether the other party had really disappeared in the long river of history. Similarly, the first generation Giant King who awakened the Titan genetic gene did not seem like an existence that would disappear easily.

Thinking of this, Alvin asked Embra his question very straightforwardly.

"In our local database, the only record of Her Royal Highness the Princess leading the Royal Guards and some refugees is that they began moving northward, towards areas unaffected by the Fate-Bending Disaster. The latest news claims they have successfully reached the uncontaminated polar region and are establishing a new home."

"As for the First Giant King, his majesty left no tomb, and the royal family has only publicly announced his abdication and retirement. There are some unconfirmed rumors circulating among the public, but they don't sound very reliable."

Even compared to the animated lieutenant who inherited the memories of the previous captain, Embra behaved quite humanely, even making Ivan vaguely feel that the person he was talking to was not an artificial intelligence but a real person.

"Why don't you tell me about it?" Looking at the warship entrance which was still some distance away, Alvin asked with great interest.

"Legend has it that the blood of the Lord possessed by the royal family originated from the 'Revelation', and His Majesty Guwen, the first giant king, is the chosen one who received the 'Revelation' in the legend." Embra's voice was very steady, but Ivan fell into deep thought because of the content of his words.

Apocalypse...

In the world of Palladia where gods exist, this term is not to be used lightly. Only those who have had direct contact with gods are qualified to say that they have received revelation.

In a sense, Alvin can say this with confidence.
