Star Forge Titan

In the virtual world of Palladia, players have not yet officially come into contact with the existence of gods.

Even the latest version after the evil god's invasion only interacted with the angels or saints under the gods. Neither Ivan's own experience nor the various information he browsed on the forums mentioned any connection between a god and the Titans.

So, which god was it that bestowed the first giant king with the "revelation" and enabled the giant royal family to obtain the Titan genetic gene?

"Besides that, the most widely circulated story about the first Giant King is undoubtedly 'Ascension to the Stars'."

Embra's words interrupted Ivan's thoughts, and a key word in the words made him look sideways.

"Fly...ascend...to the stars!" Even a time traveler would be stunned upon hearing such words.

A sense of absurdity washed over me.

Damn, is there something wrong with this worldview!?!

It is clearly a world full of fantasy. First, the material world is actually the surface of a planet, and then there is a spaceship used to travel through the star system.

Now that's great, all the 'Ascending Stars' have come out.

It seems that the so-called abdication of the first giant king was probably because he was tired of sitting on the throne and stamping things, so he just handed things over to the next giant king and simply walked away to an alien planet for a vacation!

"Wait, is this 'stars' the 'stars' I understand?" Ivan raised his hand to signal Embra to stop.

The central thinking module smiled in a very human way.

"Besides the stars above our heads, is there a second group of stars?"

Chapter 150: Forbidden Spell Sealing the Door

A slight pause under his feet brought Alvin back to his senses from his thoughts.

The news he had received earlier was so shocking that even his three views as a time traveler, who had experienced many battles and seen a lot, began to waver.

Although he had guessed this as early as when Lind of the Central Empire saw the Titan ruins, after truly confirming that the essence of the Palladia world was not just a pure fantasy world, Alvin actually felt a sense of relief.

After all, the so-called pure fantasy world is just a romantic term.

Literary works may only require romance, but reality is always something that exists objectively. In other words, existence is reasonable.

"Dear guests, we have reached the limit of the Third Heritage Management Agency's internal mobile platform. Please transfer to the ship's mobile platform."

The gentle and soft voice of the thinking module Embra sounded again, and the transparent "elevator" opened a door on one side, revealing the external scene illuminated by the lights of the moving platform.

At this moment, Alvin had arrived at the top deck of the huge starship. Not far from him was the large entrance leading to the ship's hangar.

After living on the Logilas for several months, this place had become very familiar to him. Usually, the cats and bugs would launch their planes from there and then glide along the top deck to take off.

The top deck of the seventy-meter-long model modified battleship, the Rogilas, is already quite spacious. The formal entrance leading to the ship is also of a scale and size that matches its function because it is needed to accommodate small vehicles.

But what Alvin saw now was indeed a massive door, large enough to accommodate the small ships of his past life. Although he didn't sense any strong magical fluctuations, this massive, heavy door, like a city gate, automatically opened simultaneously in four directions: up, down, left, and right, slowly revealing the vast interior of the ship, which gradually lit up.

This means that the door has at least four layers of composite armor, which is why it has a unique opening method that looks like a blooming flower and is full of industrial aesthetics.

Furthermore, the technological sophistication of the starship, which had yet to be officially named, was truly beyond imagination. The magical device that opened such a heavy and wide door surprisingly didn't transmit much magical energy to the outside world.

Even Alvin did not detect any obvious fluctuations in magic power before he concentrated all his strength to perceive it.

In other words, if the enemy needs to observe from a distance by sensing magical fluctuations, then in most cases, this starship is equivalent to being invisible to them.

Alvin stepped onto the top deck with both feet. The solid touch made him realize that its defense was definitely not low. This was both a warrior's intuition and a simple reasoning based on known intelligence.

Crystalline particles could be vaguely seen reflecting on the dark gray-blue top armor surface, which suddenly reminded Alvin of a similar solid material.

The divine skeleton frame, the giant god soldier, or the Titan combat body, the material used for the internal skeleton of this Titan-specific weapon is called Orichalcum, the divine metal Orichalcum.

This unique material, which looks like both metal and crystal, originated from the Titans. It has incredible strength and various excellent properties. It seems like a product of fantasy rather than reality.

At that moment, the cyan crystals blended into the gray-blue starship armor reminded Ivan of Orichalcum. Of course, compared to the Colossus's pure Orichalcum-forged divine skeleton, this armor was likely a special alloy with a small amount of Orichalcum. But it was Orichalcum after all, and even a small amount was enough to increase the material's strength to a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Do you know what this material is?" Ivan looked at Embra. Although the latter claimed that he did not save any information related to the starship, since the other party completed various arrangements other than the main body of the starship within 500 years, this statement was obviously untenable.

"I'm sorry. Although this machine is responsible for some outfitting projects other than the main body of the starship, the relevant top-secret information has been completely destroyed after completion. This is an order issued by the former Giant King himself." The voice first came from a distance in the mobile platform, and then became closer and closer.

Alvin looked back and saw an upright shuttle-shaped metal structure floating in the air and flying towards him. In the center of it was embedded a crystal that could rotate flexibly like an eyeball, and from time to time it rotated and scanned the surroundings in a regular manner.

The Giant Kingdom, with its fluid metal technology, should not be underestimated...

"In addition, the Black Hammer Lemnos is stored in the special heritage storage room in the core area of ​​the ship - the Lightless Abyss." Embra's voice came from inside the shuttle-shaped metal structure.

Before he finished speaking, the hangar door connecting the bridge to the top armor plate opened completely. A square, suspended platform with railings flew out from it. The entire process was silent until the platform lowered beside Ivan.

The shuttle-shaped metal structure controlled by Embra flew above the railing handrail, and a beam of light shot out from the eyeball-shaped crystal in the center to connect to the floating platform.

Then, the fence gate connected to the railing handrails around the platform automatically unlocked and opened.

"Please allow this machine to continue to guide you."

Embra's voice sounded again. After thinking for a moment, Ivan walked onto the suspended platform. The hollow fence door connected to the railing behind him closed automatically with a crisp sound.

The suspended platform rose slightly, and then began to move at a very steady speed. The only sound that followed was a barely perceptible buzzing sound, which was the unique sound of the magic machine in operation.

"Besides 'Black Hammer Lemnos', what other Titan creations are preserved in the Sunless Abyss?" Before arriving at the Sunless Abyss, Ivan saw that there was still some time, so he continued chatting with Embra.

He had originally thought that this dark space used to house the massive starship was the so-called 'Lightless Abyss'. But from what Embra had just said, it seemed to be a mobile vault within the starship.

"There are more than twelve thousand Titan legacies preserved in the Lightless Abyss. Do I need to report all the specific information to you?" The crystal embedded in the center of the shuttle-shaped metal structure projected a shadow outward, which was still the gentle female image whose specific appearance could not be seen before.

"Over 12,000!" Alvin was so shocked that he was almost used to it. So when he heard the news, his tone only changed slightly, and he accepted the shocking fact with ease.

"Yes, but most of them are waste with damaged or unknown functions, and the rest are mostly raw materials that have undergone primary processing. The number of high-value heritages that can be truly identified with specific functions is relatively limited." Embra said in an unchanged tone.

"I see." This is much more acceptable, Alvin thought to himself.

While casually chatting, he also observed the surrounding scene. Unlike the traditional Giant Kingdom style, the interior of the starship was almost devoid of any ornate decorations. Instead, it was filled with a very futuristic minimalist style.

The surrounding ground, side walls, and even the ceiling were devoid of any superfluous decorations, leaving only the various luminous markings and patterns used for guidance. Although there were no visible structures resembling lights, the interior of the ship was not dim. A cool white light illuminated from the side walls and ceiling, making the entire space appear exceptionally bright.

Awesome! Really awesome! So cool!

In his heart, Alvin was like a little kid, constantly expressing the simplest, crudest and most straightforward admiration.

Even though there were still very urgent matters that needed to be dealt with, this strong sense of impact still made his heart surge.

A giant future starship...

This is the romance of men!

The floating platform moved silently and swiftly through the corridor. Alvin did not see the different entrances and exits leading to other areas of the ship, but there were luminous lines connected into rectangles on the side walls that outlined the outline of a gate, and related signs to indicate the way could also be seen around it.

Considering the Giant Kingdom's fluid metal technology that can switch states on its own, the doors at exits are probably hidden until they are activated. This can completely isolate the material exchange between different compartments more completely than ordinary airtight doors.

As expected, when the floating platform arrived at an entrance and exit, the seemingly seamless wall immediately began to show long and thin lines, and the fluid metal that usually covered the surface was immersed in it, and then a multi-layer armored airtight door with extremely strong defense appeared.

"A pass qualification search is required. This machine does not have the authority to directly access the starship, so remote verification is impossible." Embra said apologetically.

This is not surprising. After all, she is the central thinking module of the Third Heritage Management Agency, not the ship-borne thinking module built into the starship.

"How to verify..." Just as Alvin was about to send a message, the lepton terminal, which had been silent in the lepton space, gave him a questioning look.

[Do you want to connect a new peripheral? ]

Yes.

He silently confirmed it and released a wave of magic power randomly.

To others, it seemed that Ivan glanced at the blocked armored door, which immediately opened in all directions like a blooming flower.

Following this precedent, all the complicated inspection processes along the way were directly released due to the highest-level administrator authority of the Titan bloodline.

Even so, the road to the Lightless Abyss is quite long.

Finally, the floating platform passed through layers of blockades and reached the core area deep inside the starship.

Directly in front, a large amount of fluid metal quickly sank into the wall until a huge door large enough for the Giant God Soldier to pass through was revealed.

Alvin narrowed his eyes, and the terrifying magical fluctuations spread rapidly outward. The strong magical light almost occupied his entire field of vision.

The source of the fluctuation was the large sealing array with a complex tree-like structure on the surface of the huge door.

After a little thought, Alvin's eyes suddenly widened.

Forbidden magic! It's a third-level conventional forbidden magic!

Chapter 151 Breaking into the House

Magic is forbidden.

Just as the name suggests, it is magic that is forbidden to use.

The types and functions of these drugs are different, but they are often banned because they are too dangerous.

Based on factors such as spell destructive power, composition structure, and range of influence, forbidden magic is further divided into three levels: third-level general prohibition, second-level limited prohibition, and first-level absolute prohibition.

Within these three levels, forbidden magic of the same rank doesn't necessarily have the same destructive power. However, in terms of danger, they are all classified as extremely dangerous, essentially being the magical equivalent of nuclear weapons. Even if the yield of each weapon varies, they are all essentially weapons of mass destruction.

If forbidden magic of any level gets out of control, it will not only threaten the caster himself, but also everyone living in a large area around him will face an irresistible crisis.

At this moment, the door in front of Alvin that leads to the interior of the "Lightless Abyss" is engraved with a third-level conventional forbidden magic.

He swallowed subconsciously. Although it wouldn't be as severe as the legendary first-level absolutely forbidden magic that would either sink the land or destroy the country, the third-level conventional forbidden magic was enough to turn an area as small as a block or as large as an entire city into a dead zone.

This is still based on the premise of normal operation. If the spell goes out of control, then vaporization on the spot may be considered a 'Normal End'. If the power of the uncontrolled spell is twisted into a state worse than death, it will be an absolutely unacceptable 'Bad End'.

To put it more bluntly, even if you don't cast forbidden magic but just approach it, in most cases it is equivalent to approaching a UHV transmission tower with bare hands.

It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something unexpected happened, the person would be gone in an instant, literally gone.

This level of defense measures, ordinary people, even extraordinary people, should not be able to penetrate...

Although such judgments were churning in his mind, he did not dare and did not want to gamble.

He knew that he couldn't afford to lose, and he also knew that he couldn't stake the future of his entire world and his loved ones on the enemy's ability to break through the forbidden seal.

Of course, Alvin did not rashly go up and pry it open, but instead carefully observed the features of the visible part of the magic circle.

From the analysis of the visible part, although the third-level conventional forbidden magic in front of us is powerful and dangerous, its underlying structure does not exceed the scope of traditional sealing arrays. In addition to the basic function of isolating the interaction between the inside and outside of the sealed space, it also integrates advanced complex functions such as secret key recognition, anti-theft counterattack, etc.

The real headache is that, perhaps because they're worried that someone might forge high-level permissions to get through the blockade, the magic circle that seals the 'Lightless Abyss' doesn't have the ability to detect visitor permissions. In a sense, it's a bizarre operation of using primitive means to circumvent high-end intrusions.

At the moment, it is not known whether this thing can stop the thief Alvin who has high-end intrusion methods, but he, who does not have the authority of the "secret key", is indeed blocked outside the door.

"Embra, help me determine the direction of the program."

"learn."

The shadow projected by the prismatic metal structure changed, and a large amount of data and changing geometric patterns began to appear in the air.

Glancing at the relevant content, Ivan's multiply-enhanced brain instantly completed its review and comprehension. Without the need for his nearby thinking module to explain further, he knew that to pass through this door, he needed both a 'key' and a 'password', both of which were difficult to obtain in a short period of time.

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to build an extra mage account just for fun." Sighing helplessly, the barbarian from the north twisted his neck, making the joints move with a crisp 'crackling' sound.

"No venture, no gain." The traverser whispered in a foreign language unknown to the entire world.

Deep within the dark golden eyes of the Titan descendant, a light as bright and resolute as a burning fire rose.

Alvin took out all the protective gear including the Deep Despair Armor, put them all on, and then summoned the Light Forge Armor. He then put on the Dou Qi Steel Armor on the outside, and even condensed a super-small spirit-like body only the size of a human on the outermost layer.

The original magic power surged rapidly in his body. The black-haired boy, who was wrapped in layers of armor, defensive skills, and defensive talents, stretched out his hands, and arcs of electricity formed by magic power faintly jumped back and forth at his fingertips.

He planned to forcibly interfere with the operation of the magic circle and then take the opportunity to break into it.

If judged by the magical 'common sense' of the world of Palladia, the success rate of this action is pitifully low, at most only a few tenths of a percent.

But in Virtual Paladia, the fearless Fourth Scourge used his own (and his friends') numerous 'corpses' to discover a flaw in the traditional sealing array. This immediately sparked a frenzy among players, and indirectly led to the innovation and significant leap forward in the development of the sealing array.

Let’s put aside what happened later. After completing the preparations and repeatedly confirming the process in his memory, Alvin directly touched the surface of the activated magic circle with his hands.

"Warning, the sealing array has activated the defense circuit. Magic power is gathering, magic power is gathering." Embla kept repeating the annoying words in a monotonous voice. At this moment, she looked like an emotionless artificial thinking module.

"Quiet." With a low roar, Alvin controlled his own magic power to quickly and accurately penetrate into the running magic circle.

Through a series of seemingly unrelated operations, the raw magic power he released actually penetrated deep into the magic circle through the maintenance port. It was like a speck of dust falling into the gap between delicate gears, causing the operation of the sealing magic circle to stagnate slightly and undetectably.

In fact, traditional sealing arrays have been developed to a very perfect level, especially the highly precise and powerful array in front of us, which has excellent fault tolerance and anti-interference capabilities.

Under normal circumstances, this slight lag would not be enough to cause any errors.

But something went wrong with the operation of the magic circle.

Without any warning, a gap only wide enough for one person to pass suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the large sealing formation with a complex tree-like structure.

It's now!

Ivan's mind raced, and he rushed towards the gap like an arrow.
