Star Forge Titan

If one looks outwards at the perimeter of this realm, one will notice a bright ring of light swirling around the dark center. However, this is not actually a real entity; at best, it is merely a "shadow" of the real universe. As for that ring of light, it is the final high-energy photons released before a large amount of matter is "killed".

The name of the 'murderer' is called the Abyss, written as Dark Star and pronounced as Black Hole. The light is endlessly devoured, and the shadow left behind is this realm of absolute darkness. Nothing can escape from it, not even light itself, because this is the ultimate cage.

But today, the rules that absolutely cannot be broken in the real universe were completely destroyed. A pair of eyes suddenly opened in the dark and lightless black body realm. They were a pair of scarlet eyes that were so ruthless and indifferent that even the concept of "ruthlessness" itself did not exist.

As if sensing the changes happening light years away, the eyes opened in the black hole and quietly glanced over there. The black hole, from which even light could not escape, did not cause any obstruction to the gaze, allowing the owner of the gaze to stare at the young Titan descendant from afar.

A chill surged into his heart, but Alvin just let out a silent laugh.

As if enraged, yet seemingly without any reaction, countless tiny black dots rushed out of the black hole like a swarm of bees leaving their nest. The huge gravitational force did not stop the monsters from moving forward. After all, the place where they originally resided was a space fault zone where even light could not escape.

At the same time, the monsters were like a noisy orchestra, using various cavity pipes to emit buzzing and whimpering. They were shouting, shouting the name of the "large group".

The next moment, echoing roars were faintly heard from countless similar dark realms.

Large group...

Ivan silently memorized this name. The Titan inheritance allowed him to understand its meaning, and he also vaguely realized the situation facing the world of Palladia.

Before this mysterious experience came to an end, he tried his best to look at the extremely distant and vast observable universe.

Then, the world that comes into view starts from the Local Bubble, including the Local Cluster, the spiral arm where the galaxy is located, the galaxies where the spiral arm is located, the galaxy clusters, and even larger superclusters and supercluster complexes.

The universe is home to structures of all sizes, from planets, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, and superclusters. All of these structures are the product of gravitational interference. Beyond these structures, there are even larger-scale astronomical wonders like filaments and voids, which are essentially massive structures formed by interconnected chains of galaxies.

What Alvin saw was a giant wonder like this, whose constituent units began with galaxies and were billions of light years long.

But at this moment, this incomparably majestic Great Wall is actually——burning!!!

Chapter 160: Infinite War

what is that?

It was like pressing the pause button, and the scene in front of me, including the celestial Great Wall that was countless light years away, came to a complete stop.

Then, a faint white light rose little by little from the center of his vision, outlining a slender figure that looked familiar to Alvin, but whose face he could not see clearly.

"The disaster came from the stars, and the sun's light can no longer illuminate this star field. From then on, the Sixth Era will become an era of darkness, and there will not be a Seventh Era." The other party's voice was ethereal, but it carried an unquestionable certainty.

“Unless someone puts on the crown again and becomes a true Titan with an awakened soul, and as the king of warriors, he breaks the darkness, allowing the earth to return to prosperity and the starry sky to shine again…” The figure of the visitor gradually faded away, but the prophecy she uttered was almost unconcealed, and was clear to the point of being disturbing.

Should we say it is worthy of being called the Eye of Prophecy?

"Wait!" The inexplicable resistance from the long river of time made Alvin use up all his willpower to barely speak.

He tried his best to ask a question that had been bothering him for a long time to the prophet who was nowhere to be found.

"Why, don't you choose... to elevate yourself to the King of Titans!"

"I am not a warrior, and I am powerless to break the darkness that shrouds the distant future." Ishtarli, the giant princess who once awakened the blood of the Titans in the distant past, her face is particularly hazy because she is shrouded in the veil woven by time, and even her voice seems to be ethereal and hard to find as if separated by layers of curtains.

"Only with strength can the cornerstone throne be forged."

The figure of the Eye of Prophecy - Ishtarli completely dissipated in the depths of the starry sky. The glimpse from the distant past to the distant future completely stopped, and this postcard sent across time also played to the finale.

When he came to his senses, Alvin found that he was still high in the sky above the capital of the Great Wilderness Forest.

However, even after the illusion completely vanished, the depths of the young Titan's pupils were still filled with a darkness as dark as the background of the universe, with faint flickering points of light like stars appearing and disappearing. This strange phenomenon was not observed by anyone other than Ivan. Not long after, a golden radiance rose from the depths of the inky black universe, once again dyeing the surrounding ring of irises a dull, ancient dark gold, making it look almost the same as before.

call--

The changes brought about by the profound awakening of his soul power had already penetrated deeply into the giant god's body. Even if he switched to a regular human form, similar characteristics would likely be retained. Ivan didn't dwell on this for long. He had experienced similar changes in Virtual Paladia, even more intense and thorough than what he was experiencing now. That was the true meaning of perfection.

He let out a long breath. Although he had transformed into a giant god made of steel and machinery by attaching himself to the substitute body, he still retained some small habits of his ordinary life.

Ivan retracted the black hammer, Lemnos, and instantly, fistfuls of golden light exploded in all directions. Earlier, when he had focused his soul energy to strike "Drop of Destruction," he had wielded this Immortal-grade civil engineering tool, striking the end of its keel with force. Even in planetary annihilation mode, the excavation warship had to rely on its strongest keel to carry and transmit the power of the Immortal Sacred Artifact. The immense pressure thus generated had only just been fully released.

The thought, transmitted through the lepton terminal as a new command to Embra, the central thinking module, caused the metal parts covering a large portion of the sky to begin to slowly move. The seemingly slow movement was an illusion caused by the still staggeringly large size and heavy mass of the battleship after its separation. The actual speed was so rapid that one feared they might accidentally collide with each other.

But Alvin didn't think about this at all. His mind was still attracted by the pictures shown in the previous prophecy.

The Great Wall, a term that is synonymous with "magnificence", symbolizes certain celestial structures that are so huge that they are completely beyond human understanding in astronomy.

It is a complex system that is connected to each other by gravity and requires hundreds of millions, billions or even tens of billions of light years to be calculated. It is an astronomical concept composed of tens of thousands of galaxies and galaxy clusters, including hundreds of billions of stars and trillions of planets. Even in the context of the universe, it needs to be described as "large-scale".

Because the galaxies inside it are not evenly distributed but present a strip-like structure, it is given the name "Great Wall" by astronomers.

In the universe observable by humans in previous lives, there was no celestial structure larger than the 'Great Wall'. Beyond that, there were only cosmic voids that existed in the form of bubbles as inferred.

Now, someone told Alvin that this huge celestial structure that is incomprehensible to humans is actually - burning?

Would that thing actually burn? Or would some being, using methods incomprehensible to human thought, indescribable to human language, or simply described as "indescribable," set the Great Wall ablaze, along with the hundreds of billions of stars and trillions of planets it contained! Absolutely ablaze!

This is how we get that ultimate despair picture, as if half of the universe is dying and wailing.

A trembling, icy chill slithered across Ivan's armored, Orichalcum-clad body like a venomous snake. A cyan flame of energy emanated from between his clenched teeth, flowing from the corners of his mouth like blood, transforming into a fiery mist.

Compared to the burning universe, what the young Titans found even more incomprehensible was the cause of this war?

Interests? This was too superficial. Even an ordinary student like Ivan, who was sent to another world by a heavy truck at such a young age, could understand that many so-called conflicts of interest, once magnified to a certain extent or placed within some larger illusion, would only become a hilarious farce.

Is that some more fundamental, more irreconcilable conflict?

Ideology?

No, his intuition told him that the war that had set the universe ablaze might have begun beyond the concept of consciousness. No, even the concept itself might have been transcended, far, far beyond.

Ivan, who had just awakened his soul power, now understood the essence of the Titan's core talent [Reshaping the World], which is to directly modify reality and cause high-dimensional interference in physical phenomena.

Compared to this basic ability that a Titan possesses after reaching adulthood, [Reshaping the World] is only the most superficial manifestation, like a baby crying. However, if this is achieved to the extreme, the brilliant and dazzling Uranus King Soul will be born, the kind of omnipotent power that can create the first type of perpetual motion machine by leaving only a shadow.

Retracting all his power, Ivan transformed himself back into a normal human, floating quietly in the air. Above his head, a strange void appeared. The "Drop of Destruction" he had previously unleashed with his giant form was so powerful that the aftermath alone blew away the surrounding atmosphere.

Although the outer air is flowing back at this moment, for a short period of time, even if it is daytime here, you can still see the starry universe through the hole above your head.

No wonder the stars are howling, no wonder the universe is burning...

At this point, the answer is obvious.

Even if Ishtarli didn't say it explicitly, Alvin could guess the identities of the two fighting parties.

They were the Titans who established the Uranus Civilization - the Sky Dynasty, and the hordes of pure-colored super beasts that were hostile to them, as numerous as stars!

Enemies beyond imagination, beyond even comprehension, their numbers reaching astronomical proportions. How could one fight them? How could one destroy them? Ivan didn't know. He truly didn't know now, and presumably, neither did any other intelligent life on this planet.

So, give up? Choose to bow your head, bury it in the ground, blind your eyes, close your heart, live like an animal that knows nothing, reproduce, and then die?

Can not accept……

Without any time to think, Alvin came to the conclusion that it symbolized rejection.

Even if he didn't know the exact status of the battle that ignited the universe, he could first confirm this point, confirming that he absolutely did not want to sink and give up.

Then, all that remains is fighting...

Taking a deep breath, Alvin clasped his hands together, tensed his muscles, and slowly straightened his back. There was no longer any confusion in his eyes. The strong uneasiness and other negative emotions were completely suppressed in this simple action. The whole person was as determined as a spear several feet long that was inserted into the ground.

The number of enemies is infinite, the strength of the enemies is infinite, and I will use infinity to fight infinity! At least, at this moment, the fighting spirit to fight against them and win is infinite!

Standing at the top of the bridge of the new Rogilas, which had returned to its battleship form, Alvin once again confirmed what he wanted in his heart.

"Are all the stars in the sky my enemies?" Facing the gradually shrinking atmospheric cavity, the young man raised his right arm high.

It seems as if the outstretched palm of this tiny body is trying to cover the infinite universe far away.

"war!"

Chapter 161: Young and Fearless

call--

White water vapor dissipated in all directions like clouds as he breathed, and the cold environment at high altitude made the changes even more obvious.

While humanity's paean to courage is a paean to courage, courage and fighting spirit alone cannot solve all problems. Ivan is well aware of this. Just kidding, he's not a member of some Eastern superpower that believes in the theory of inference. He still has to respect objective reality.

But things are not so absolute. From the previous prophecy that seemed as real as if he had seen it with his own eyes, Alvin learned a lot of unbelievable news.

Based on high-dimensional operations, overlapping forces unfold a war that transcends dimensions and transcends imagination. This is how the battle between the Perfect Titans and the Pure-Colored Ultra Beasts unfolds. Such incredible news makes one wonder what kind of astonishing spectacle the battle between the two sides will present.

If I could watch a battle like that up close, even if I died, it would be worth the price of admission!

Ivan quickly slapped his head hard to completely dispel the overly strange thoughts.

It seems that I am not as calm as I appear...

But this is completely understandable. After all, a super war that took place on a celestial structure as huge as the 'Great Wall' is too outrageous for an individual like him who has not even completely stepped out of a single planet. It is even difficult to understand what kind of bizarre and grand concept it means.

There is no sense of reality at all, but the pressure is just as great, causing hair loss and baldness, and lamenting all day long.

All in all, it seems that the leisurely honeymoon has to end early, and what remains is to do our best to prepare for the battle and become stronger.

It's like an extremely long preparation for an exam, the examiner is very strict, and the price of failure is one's own life and even the life of all the people on the planet, and this is not enough to pay for even a fraction of it.

Ivan's upper and lower back teeth clenched and rubbed against each other, sparks flying from the corners of his mouth.

As expected, the end of the universe is endless exams. Damn, what a fucking realization.

According to the information mentioned in Ishtarri's prophecy, with the complete destruction of the 'Growth God Body', the pure-colored super beast entrenched in the black hole's accretion disk, which was countless light years away, sent out a large group of its subordinates.

This terrifying army is composed of lower-level pure-color super beasts and various clans. It can cross long distances that even light takes ages to cross, and finally arrive at the planet called Palladia under its feet. They will devour everything, destroy everything, absorb and assimilate everything, even the planet itself.

Now, it is the end of the new calendar year 1887, and the end year recorded in the prophecy of Ishtarri is converted to the current calendar year 1999.

In the year 112, about a century later, the pure-color swarm will arrive at the planet Palladios.

Then the problem is coming.

Will I be able to solve this problem a century later?

Ivan sat cross-legged in the air, his right hand resting on his knee and supporting his chin, and he was lost in thought.

Behind him, a golden super spirit, so huge that it far exceeded the limits of ordinary superhumans, also assumed the same thinking posture.

Farther away, the New Logillas was reassembling its parts and switching back to battleship form. From time to time, cat-bugs driving engineering machinery could be seen running around busily inside the spacecraft, while swarms of ship-borne combat bugs were on alert all around.

Because of the model, even from a thousand meters away on the ground, one can still see the clear outline of the super spirit behind Ivan, which makes onlookers wonder.

"Can the super spirit body of a fourth-level crown wearer be that big?" Gracie's mouth twitched slightly as he tried to break free from the overly perfect protection.

"...At least, I haven't seen one this big in the past two hundred years." The visitor who had just stretched out his dragon wings to protect the people around him replied with a sigh.

Because of the massive destruction operation just now, he could no longer conceal his identity.

The Black Dragon, Pomor, was the source of the bloodline of all the Dragonborn families and, in every sense, the father of the Great Wilderness. At the same time, Pomor was indeed Gracie's elder, though he was only slightly older.

Although one of them looked like a dog, and the other looked almost human, their stunned expressions were identical, and anyone who saw them could immediately recognize their blood relationship.

Genetics is really amazing!

Leaving aside the grand family reunion scene below, Ivan, lost in thought, frowned slightly as he saw a wingless ancient dragon, covered in glittering golden scales, cautiously approaching. God knew how an ancient dragon, its scales gleaming with gold and its size surpassing that of an ordinary dragon, could express such caution, but the look of concern it gave him was unmistakable.

"It's okay." Alvin waved to the person who came, and the golden ancient dragon immediately shrank in a ball of strong light until it turned into a human form and jumped onto him as a 'pendant'.

"The way you looked just now was a little worrying." Afrediya rested her head against Ivan's back, and her voice sounded muffled.

"I just heard some bad news." Although he said that, he still couldn't help but sigh.

Scientists have shown that sighing can help relieve anxiety, but that should be for ordinary humans, and it is not known whether it works for Titans.

Redirecting his thoughts, Ivan raised his hand and, with a rather awkward gesture, ruffled Afredia's soft hair. Needless to say, the demon girl could tell from the boy's expression that their happy honeymoon had ended prematurely.

"About a hundred years from now, enemies will descend from outer space. Before then, we must unite everyone on the planet to form an alliance, while also continuously improving our own strength."

"Strong?"

"Yeah, very strong."

Pointing to the huge pit on the ground beneath his feet, whose diameter exceeded the original area of ​​the Great Wilderness Forest Capital, Alvin spoke the cruel truth without reservation.

"What I just destroyed was probably just a piece of flesh or a strand of hair to those enemies."

"How... is it possible..." The fact made Afrediya very shaken, but the next second, she forced herself to calm down with her strong will.

"One hundred years is enough." The Demon King's majesty at this moment was greater than ever before, and there was no trace of his usual gentleness and innocence.

Facing the determined girl, Alvin felt a wave of guilt and heartache, as well as undisguised admiration.

"Yeah, that's enough."

An unprecedented storm is about to come, but the young man who accepts the challenge is fearless.

Because he is at the best age where he sees no limits and has endless possibilities.

One hundred years, one century...

That's enough!
