Star Forge Titan

"Let me introduce them to you." Kakarom took two steps forward and looked speechlessly at the 'wild animals' who were still sitting or lying there.

"These are my colleagues. Except for the two who are in charge of the work outside, the other nine elders are here."

"Eh!?!" Frey, who had just been reminding Alvin to be polite, exclaimed at this moment. She did not sense any magical fluctuations from those wild animals at all. They were no different from real animals.

Seeing this scene, the small animals that were originally sitting or lying down made all kinds of noises as if they couldn't hold back their laughter, and even the two fish soaking in the water spit out a series of bubbles.

Then, the long-eared rabbit stood up, the lizard flicked its tail, and the fish jumped out of the water...

Several great druids revealed their true forms.

"Welcome to the Great Wilderness Forest."

Chapter 136 Activation Key

The brown-haired jackrabbit transformed into a fat old man with a red nose and a brown robe, while the gray-white sea otter transformed into a tall man with a gray robe and a look that was extremely untidy and a bit slovenly.

In addition, the seabird turned into a fisherman holding a fishing rod, the fish in the water turned into two elves in blue clothes, and even the emerald green lizard lying on the side stood up and turned into a short old man in ordinary casual clothes and a beret.

Seven of the nine archdruids had arrived. This attitude, more sincere than any formal welcome ceremony, clearly demonstrated the importance the entire druid faction placed on the ancient sealed artifact. Therefore, Alvin and Afrediya returned each gift with a serious attitude.

At the same time, the white ape Kakarom, who had been accompanying them throughout the entire journey, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Practicing nature magic often requires long periods of meditation, allowing one to resonate with nature and observe the world from a perspective beyond the five senses. Sometimes, this requires assuming animal form, allowing for more accurate observation from a perspective distinct from one's own species.

Therefore, the more advanced a druid becomes, the more 'perspectives' he or she acquires, meaning a variety of transformed forms. These range from transcendent beings as powerful as dragons to common animals like cats and dogs. As the druid's practice becomes more sophisticated, these transformed beings gradually become so natural that it becomes difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

As a member of the Archdruids, Kakarom understood the nature of those who practiced nature magic better than anyone else. Therefore, he secretly lamented that at least this time he hadn't caused a farce where he had called a druid to a meeting and accidentally brought an ordinary puppy...

"My two respected lords, although it may be a bit rude, please forgive me for speaking frankly when it comes to the ancient sealed objects under the Great Wilderness Forest. How feasible is the solution you mentioned?" The elf druid in blue asked directly.

Prior to this, the archdruids had already learned some of the information through messengers, but since it concerned the safety of the entire Great Wilderness Forest, they had to ask in person.

This elven archdruid, though youthful in appearance, was likely no younger than the others, considering the long lifespan of elves and the lengthy training required to become an archdruid. His hair was faintly gray, and if an elf showed visible signs of aging, it meant they had likely witnessed the founding of a human kingdom. To put it more bluntly, they might have seen a common man's grandfather's grandfather running around naked.

"I haven't seen the seal with my own eyes yet, but the result of this matter can only be success or very success." Alvin didn't mean to be polite at all.

He knew that as an outsider with little reputation in the local area, if he wanted to quickly gain the right to speak and resolve this matter, he could not show even the slightest hesitation.

As expected, upon hearing this, the other archdruids who hadn't spoken a word immediately responded. After a quick exchange of glances, the elven druid continued speaking.

"Unbelievable! That sealed object possesses extremely strange properties and an incredibly powerful vitality. Even the venerable Oak Father had no choice but to seal it. Where does your confidence come from?"

"I do have something to say about this." Kakarom said, looking at Ivan with an inquiring look.

The black-haired youth pondered for a moment, realizing that the other party hadn't revealed their identity as a descendant of the Star Forger in their previous communications, even to their fellow Archdruids. This alone spoke volumes about their high moral character, and it instilled a positive impression. Considering that subsequent actions might require the assistance of the entire druid faction, coupled with the added strength of fully mastering the Titan's transformation, Ivan didn't mind spreading the news within a small circle.

The black-haired boy nodded slightly to Kakarom. Seeing this, the Archdruid began to explain the relevant situation to his colleagues with a subtle expression.

"How can it be……"

"This is really unexpected news."

Even the respected and knowledgeable great druids looked at him in disbelief.

After an immeasurable amount of time, the descendants of the legendary giant god who forged the stars suddenly appeared again without any warning.

If these words came from anyone else, they would definitely treat them as a completely unreliable joke. But the one who said these words was the white ape Kakarom. Although this old guy was old, he was still as lively as a monkey and had ADHD, but his credibility was unquestionable.

After a brief silence, the short old man who had just transformed into an emerald green lizard suddenly spoke.

"Vote, and let the sacred Trident be witness to our decision."

After saying that, he raised his beret slightly and gave a simple greeting to Alvin.

Who is this?

Ivan was slightly confused; he didn't know the other person. The straightforward proposal was fair, but there was a subtle hint of goodwill.

"I agree. Although the increase is small, the activity of the ancient sealed artifact 'Growth Heaven·Born Divine Body' has indeed shown an upward trend in recent years. Even if we can't completely resolve it this time, it would be good to be able to suppress the growth curve."

"I second your suggestion. The number of abnormally growing limbs on Arcturus's body is increasing year by year. It would be best if this problem could be completely resolved."

"We can't leave everything to the younger generations," the short old man with a beret concluded.

As the rulers of the realm, the nine elders present were naturally not the type to waver. After a brief vote, they quickly reached their decision: to unite with the descendants of the One who forged the stars in order to completely remove the seal on the artifact, 'Growth Heaven: Divine Body.'

"In that case, everyone, let us take out the 'key'." After saying that, the white ape Kakarom took the lead and opened his arms towards the sky dotted with glowing plants, and other great druids also made the same gesture.

The seven great druids chanted ancient spells, and the sound did not sound like any language. Instead, it was closer to the music of the breeze, and even more like the song of the waves.

Then, the ground began to tremble slightly. Ivan subconsciously held Afrediya's hand. The Demon King had no time to be happy. The two were soon attracted by the scene happening before them.

However, the densely entangled roots of Tree Mountain Arcturus slowly untangled. Considering the mountain-like size of this massive plant, the roots moved at a remarkable speed.

When countless tree roots separated from each other, something with a flickering light like breathing fell from above.

The white ape Kakarom rolled and leaped high, using the object as a leverage. When the Archdruid landed on the ground, the light faded, and a simple-looking staff appeared in his hand.

At first glance, it looks like just a wooden stick wrapped in vines, with the top bent into a circle. A few emerald green leaves can be vaguely seen popping out from the gaps between the vines. Apart from that, the entire staff has no other decorations. It would not be surprising if it was a walking stick commonly used by the elderly in an ordinary village.

"Animated Wood Staff." Kakarom uttered an ordinary name that was very consistent with the appearance of the staff.

"The staff used by the Oak Father in the past is also the only key to open the seal."

"Wow." Alvin sighed softly and looked at the staff with deep eyes.

In a sense, this thing is equivalent to a church relic for the Druid faction. But besides being a key to open the seal, the Living Wood Staff must have other uses.

At this moment, Alvin felt very clearly that there was some kind of unbreakable connection between the staff itself and the super-giant tree mountain that enveloped Linyuanxiadu.

This thing is the activation key for the pseudo-fifth-order, super-powered, transformable giant mobile fortress—the Treeman Emperor, Arcturus! !

Chapter 137 A Note

At the entrance to the seal, seven great druids sat in a circle and chanted ancient spells. In the middle of them, an activated wooden staff floating in the air emitted circles of emerald green light like the aurora.

Inside the Stonehenge-like enclosure, the once mirror-like surface of the lake began to ripple. As the waves surged, an extremely rich and pure life force suddenly rose from the depths of the lake.

The treeman emperor Arcturus, who covered the entire bottomless abyss, quickly absorbed this life force, and his power increased immediately, like a giant suddenly awakened from a deep sleep. Although he was sleepy, he could make all tiny mortals feel awe with just a gesture.

Did the ancient druids really seal it here because they were unable to completely destroy the body of the God of Growth?

This thought suddenly occurred to Ivan, and Afrediya tightened her grip on his hand. They exchanged a glance, and though neither spoke, everything was clear.

Of course, before actually seeing the ancient sealed artifact, any speculation was groundless. At least up to this point, the druids had been friendly and cooperative with their proposed plan. Therefore, neither Ivan nor Afrediya had any overreactions.

As the incantation continued, the lake's churning momentum intensified, and the vitality surging from the depths grew ever more intense. In this environment, even the slightest increase in breathing rate for an ordinary creature could cause a physical mutation.

However, everyone present was a high-level transcendent, so naturally they would not be affected too much.

Finally, the druids chanted an ancient spell loudly, and the lake surrounded by the seal almost turned into two water walls and separated to the sides. Faint music could be heard in the ears, and a very exaggerated inverted triangle black shadow appeared in the water. Some strange structures could be seen floating and turning around.

The height of the entire black shadow was roughly estimated to be over 100 meters, and it looked like a dark red mountain hanging upside down in the air.

"This is..." Alvin narrowed his eyes. The environment in the sealed room located in the underground space was very dark, but this was not a problem for him.

The appearance of the thing in front of me was really unexpected. It didn't seem to be some kind of machine left behind by the Titans as expected. To be precise, at least it was not completely a machine.

"Alive? That thing is alive!?!" Afrediya grabbed the arm of her companion and shook it hard, her voice sounding extremely excited.

As the lord of the northern demon kingdom of Elrond, who is skilled in the art of flesh and blood, His Majesty the Demon King immediately realized the nature of the seal in front of him.

In fact, Ivan also saw this without Fredo telling him. After all, a beating heart that continuously radiates a high concentration of vitality will always make people immediately associate it with vibrant life.

Furthermore, Ivan saw steel artifacts on the surface of the massive heart, distinct from flesh and blood. Seven long metal spikes burrowed deep into the flesh. These massive structures, like bridge pillars, echoed with each other, connected by chains several meters in diameter, as if breathing. From time to time, a cyan light similar to that of a circuit board flashed across the surface of each metal artifact, indicating that the raw materials used in their casting were mixed with Orichalcum crystals, known as the divine metal.

This undoubtedly shows that the creation in front of us has an inseparable relationship with the Titans.

If the metal spikes and chains are used to suppress the seal of this huge heart, the springs, gears and reeds suspended outside the heart undoubtedly play another role.

The music currently echoing in the seal comes from these seemingly ordinary mechanical structures, and the endless flow of vitality also echoes the rhythm of the music, which further proves that there is some connection between the two.

Music box?

Alvin opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say anything for a long time. He was shocked to find that the nature of the huge monster in front of him was actually similar to those small toys that would produce simple music when the spring was turned.

"When our faction's ancestors discovered this sealed artifact, it was already deep within the soil of the Great Desolate Forest. In reality, all anomalies within the entire forest are related to it. That extraordinary vitality continuously transforms the natural environment, prompting the emergence of alien life forms such as trees and behemoths."

The white ape Kakarom subconsciously lowered his voice. Even though it was not the first time he saw it, and even though he had become a great druid, he still felt sincerely in awe of the creation in front of him.

"At that time, the Great Oak Father quickly realized that if this thing was allowed to continue indiscriminately producing high concentrations of vitality, the entire world of Palladia would be overrun by disorderly growing vegetation. The speed at which people cut down plants couldn't even keep up with their growth. Not to mention the behemoths in the woodlands that had mutated into exceptionally powerful and dangerous beasts."

The archdruids sighed as they recounted the events of the past. Unable to approach this ancient, mysterious artifact of unfathomable origin, let alone destroy or shut it down, the Oakfather ultimately relied on the terrain of the Abyss and druidic secrets to forcibly seal the ancient, mysterious artifact, named "Growth Heaven, Life-Born Divine Body."

But in reality, it's more of a barely achieved isolation of the internal and external environments than a sealed one. Just look at the current state of the Great Desolate Forest. Even with the secondary filtering of the Treeman Emperor Arcturus, the vitality seeping out of the seal still causes irreversible changes to the surrounding environment.

"Please allow me to take a closer look." After listening to the secrets narrated by the druid, Alvin made further requests directly.

The Archdruid didn't hesitate. To use a rather inappropriate analogy, the relationship between the two parties was like that between the family of a critically ill patient and their specialist physician. As practitioners of natural magic, the druids knew only too well the dire consequences of allowing 'Growth Heaven, Divine Body' to break free of its seal.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in being entangled. Even if the latter is a witch doctor from the northern glaciers, he has to bite the bullet and try his luck.

After getting the druid's permission, Ivan let go of Afrediya's hand and walked forward alone.

"Be careful." The Demon King's voice was a little uneasy. It was hard to imagine that she was actually an ancient dragon that could easily change the terrain.

"It's okay." Alvin turned around and smiled.

The interaction between the two made others feel helpless. Don't flirt in such a serious moment.

Walking on the slightly moist ground after the lake water parted, Alvin quickly arrived under the 'Growth Heaven·Life Divine Body'.

As he approached, he felt even more clearly the immensity of this ancient, mysterious creation. Its extremely rich, high-purity vitality became as violent as attack magic. The high-concentration positive energy naturally transformed from this vitality had become a hyperactive magic power akin to celestial flames.

"That's just an exaggeration." Alvin sighed and casually inhaled the flame-like magic into his lungs.

And then, what else could it be? For the Titans, who could fly out of the atmosphere and into outer space in their physical bodies, energy of this intensity was actually not much different from air, so they could just inhale it for fun.

But when he tried to activate the lepton terminal to establish contact with it, the information transmitted into his mind made Ivan freeze in place.

[Prototype Planet Transformation Assistant V0.9]

[Important note to others: This item was made temporarily for emergency use. The core uses some pure-colored Ultra Beast debris, so please be sure to observe the Uranus Civilization's guidelines for safe use of hazardous materials.]

[In short, I strongly recommend destroying it immediately after use.]

[Incidentally, the source of this material is Monsanto Card, the bug that enjoys polluting the interstellar environment.]

[I have to admit, that guy is really hard to kill.]

[Tsk, it feels so troublesome just thinking about it.]

[Anyway, I'll write down the detailed instructions later. That's all. I wish you all good hunting luck, a bountiful harvest of stars, and a full warehouse of super beasts (perhaps this is unnecessary? (*^▽^*))]

After reading this part of the information that was specially written at the beginning, although the writer used quite casual words and it felt like a note written on a sticky note to an acquaintance, Alvin couldn't help but feel a strong urge to overturn the table.

What a joke! They recommend destroying it immediately after use, so how did this thing survive until now, tens of thousands of years later? (Throws the ball)

Chapter 138: Can't Stop

"Don't be in a hurry, find the time machine first." Alvin muttered blankly.

No wonder this thing is not as reliable as other Titan creations. It turns out it is just a disposable emergency supply.

In addition, the overall style of the message is quite different.

You guys weren't like this before...

Of course, Alvin was very surprised at the senior Titan's idea of ​​taking the super beast organs and using them immediately, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a mixture of laughter and tears in his heart.

Ivan had previously encountered records relayed by the Titans themselves, or through their followers. Those ancient texts were imbued with the solemnity and heaviness of epic tales. But the information displayed on the spiritual terminal was completely random, like a chat log between idiotic netizens, constantly joking around. It was quite the bro (adjective).

So, it really is just a 'note'.

My goodness, biographies and poems written for the younger generation must be serious, but when chatting with friends, you can let yourself go and show off your playful smile and boldness.

A solemn long narrative poem for future generations to read.

Just for my buddies, some weird words with facial expressions.

He even used emojis!?!

The tone of the whole article is so light that it is impossible to associate it with weighty words such as "sacred", "great" or even "god". Instead, it is more like human beings living in the mundane world, surrounded by the worldly air?

Unexpectedly down to earth...

While expressing his feelings, Alvin did not forget his business.

According to the information in the message, the background radiation spectrum of the super beast Monsanto card tends to be red. What this classification specifically means is not clear to a certain wild Titan who seriously lacks systematic education. Fortunately, subsequent content shows that the vitality of this type of super beast is mostly far beyond the scope of normal laws.

For example, within the massive body of the Ultra Beast, the Quming Monsantoka, lies a heart exceeding seven figures in number. Even the smallest portion of this heart possesses the dynamism needed to reshape the ecosystem of a dead planet. Therefore, the primary function of this machine, constructed from Ultra Beast hearts, is to transform planetary environments into more habitable environments.
