Star Forge Titan

Nodding without further comment, Ivan intended to fully prepare for the upcoming battle. Considering the rumored Great Beast God's ability to break through the planet's surface and enter the universe, he presumably possessed at least a fourth-tier strength. Even if it hadn't awakened its soul power like a Transcendent, its sheer mass and the vast array of magical weaponry it carried would undoubtedly possess immense destructive power.

Considering that the Broken Sun Wasteland is already in ruins, if weapons of that level are allowed to run rampant, even if he can blast it down, the world will probably suffer.

This is not okay...

Muttering to himself, Alvin said goodbye to Beta and turned to walk towards the outskirts of the tribe.

He now possesses great power, but if he wants to protect the surrounding environment from being destroyed to the greatest extent possible, the best way is to bring the enemy to where he is and then start the battle.

Looking up at the sky glowing faintly red under the shattered sun, Alvin immediately decided on the venue for the decisive battle in his mind.

What place is less vulnerable to destruction than space? But to accomplish that, he wasn't very good at it with just his incomplete Pluto form or Golden Knight form.

Fortunately, he had previously acquired a large, rare piece of heavy star crystal. If he could use it as material to create an air flow engine, then Ivan could directly drag the Great Beast God into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun, and then take advantage of the opportunity to destroy it in space.

Having made up his mind, Ivan immediately took action. However, he was still a little nervous. After all, it was his first time on the road, and he didn't have an experienced driver to guide him. He could only take it one step at a time.

To make an air flow engine, you first need to collect materials. The Titan's core talent [Reshape the World] can certainly reshape matter, but that requires a lot of magic power. If you can find ready-made materials, it will naturally save time and effort.

Considering the excellent magical engineering achievements of the ancient empire during its peak period, the remains of the Great Beast God itself is the best raw material candidate. In addition, Alvin thinks that he can also start with the many iron beasts in the surrounding areas.

"Iron beasts don't feel pain. They're essentially magical puppets anyway."

Humming the theme song from his childhood TV series Ace of Superman, Alvin leaped high into the air with his hands in his pockets.

Then, the super spirit that was sitting cross-legged in the air with a low presence supported him with its shoulders, and its arms were spread out to the left and right like wings. With this simple movement, it freely activated the power of the boxing configuration, and flew away with the help of the atmospheric flow like natural wind.

Then, today became the day of suffering for the many wandering iron beasts in the Stone Net Wasteland.

Chapter 215 Vacuum Forging

Spring has arrived, nature is gradually reviving, and animals are beginning to reproduce.

But the cold and ruthless metal beasts are not like that. They will only persevere in repeating the last instructions they received before going berserk, forever repeating the construction projects that are no longer needed.

These iron puppets, built with magical engineering technology, are tireless and lonely, and will not feel the pain and fear that living creatures would experience.

So, today's Alvin has no mercy!

boom!

A three-story-tall, eight-legged rock-chewer was lifted a hundred meters into the air. Unable to find support in mid-air, the magical puppet thrashed helplessly, but its struggles were futile. Immediately, a massive, overwhelming hand grasped it. It was Ivan's massive super-spiritual form, manifested as a golden warrior.

Grab it and refine it immediately!

A dark golden light suddenly exploded from the point of contact, and the Titan's core talent, [Reshape the World], flowed through the entire machine. The tons of heavy magical puppets were instantly reduced to a large amount of metal.

The whole process took no more than three seconds, and every movement during it looked extremely skilled. It was obvious that similar things had happened countless times in the Stone Net Wasteland.

In the end, even the remains of the giant beast god that produced the four-winged whirling bees were completely dismantled by Alvin. By the time the Stone Net Wasteland had gone from bustling and noisy to silent and silent, the various raw materials he had stockpiled had reached an exaggerated order of magnitude.

At this moment, the Broken Sun, rising in the east and setting in the west, had just reached its zenith. Having spent the morning clearing the area, Ivan found a random rock to sit down. He felt no fatigue at all, but instead a sense of exceptionally satisfied joy of a good harvest, like an old farmer or a squirrel.

As for what to do next, he had already made plans.

Looking up at the Broken Sun with its strange and hideous appearance, Alvin stood up again and put all the raw materials into the lepton space for temporary storage.

Without any preparation, he bent his legs slightly and assumed a jumping stance. As his magic power rapidly accumulated, the ground immediately cracked under the invisible pressure, and even the surrounding air surged towards him.

Boom!

There was a loud noise like thunder, and a figure leaped into the air at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Golden magic glow splashed, and a huge super spirit wrapped around Ivan's body like armor. With the help of the power of the boxing configuration to maintain the upward speed, he began to climb higher.

After awakening the power of his soul, even without activating the giant god form, Alvin possessed power far exceeding that of other extraordinary people of the same level.

So he rushed out of the atmosphere and reached the planet's low-Earth orbit.

Looking down, the planet's landforms, ruins, and oceanic divisions were vastly different from those of Palladia. The ancient Titan ruins had truly transcended astronomical boundaries, transporting them to another planet. Once again marveling at the awe-inspiring and exaggerated Titan technology, Ivan quickly turned his attention to the bizarrely shaped celestial body in the distance.

After leaving the atmosphere, he finally confirmed one fact. The star hanging high above the Sunshattered Wasteland hadn't undergone any changes. It continued to radiate endless light and heat into its surroundings, just as it had for hundreds of millions of years. He figured that even after tens or even hundreds of billions of years, it wouldn't change much.

As for why it looks so fragmented when viewed from the ground?

But this is because there are large man-made structures between the planets and the stars.

Countless rectangular metal plates look like a silver ocean in space. The artificial space building complex they form together is like a big umbrella, squatting at the Lagrange point to shield the light radiated from the stars to the planets.

Originally, the existence of this space complex would have plunged the Broken Sun Wasteland into permanent darkness, but the damage to several eyes distributed on the surface of the complex made it impossible to intercept the light 100%, thus preventing the Broken Sun Wasteland from falling into a more complete doomsday.

Had the ancient empire's productivity developed to this point? Ivan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He estimated the distance between them and thought it would take at least several months to fly there, even if he used space transfer continuously.

Although some of them were curious about the massive space complex, there were more pressing matters that needed to be accomplished.

Retracting his attention, Ivan opened his psychic space and released a vast amount of raw metal. Due to the dismantling of some of the Great Beast God's remains, there were a variety of rare metals like refined gold and secret silver. But the most precious item was the astonishingly large Heavy Star Crystal.

Recalling the information about the aerodynamic engine in the Pluto blueprint, Ivan couldn't help but sigh. Space was completely silent, but he could still feel his ears ringing. The information was so vast and complex that it was almost too much to bear.

Fortunately, Alvin was not unarmed at this moment.

He took a deep breath. This action was meaningless in a space environment, but there was no need to worry about such details. In short, the Spiritual Structure's Pool of Light instantly released a large amount of magic power. The young Titan, having completed its warm-up, transformed into a ball of bright light, becoming increasingly adept at manifesting its incomparably majestic, colossal form.

With both hands raised, the chest armor of the iron-gray Titan in the form of Pluto opened layer by layer, and a tiny light flew out from it, multiplying and transforming into an immortal-level forging tool - Black Hammer Lemnos at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With the help of this immortal-level tool, Alvin is 120% more confident in the subsequent creative work.

The principle of the air flow engine can be said to be very complicated, or it can be said to be very simple.

Just like putting an elephant in a refrigerator, the first step in making an aerodynamic engine is to peel off the special crystal shell on the surface of the heavy star crystal, so that the super-heavy island element core hidden deep inside is completely exposed.

Under natural circumstances, this would directly lead to spatial disorder and even the formation of a small black hole. However, other components of the aerodynamic engine can keep the core of the superheavy island element stable and construct a special gravitational structure that can be controlled by humans.

Ultimately, the matter and energy in the surrounding specific spatial dimensions will spontaneously converge into the engine to achieve the goal of activating the various abilities of Pluto's agent.

Indeed, the current Pluto surrogate was still in a very low state of completion. Calling it an empty shell might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it was indeed vastly different from what it would be like after installing the airflow engine. In other words, only with the crucial airflow engine installed could this combat surrogate's true power be unleashed.

After confirming he had memorized all the relevant information, Ivan began swinging the Black Hammer, Lemnos. The hidden white dwarf fragments within immediately triggered gravitational fluctuations within a fixed range, and the incredibly solid shell of the Heavy Star Crystal was almost instantly reduced to tiny fragments.

A violently pulsating deep purple sphere emerged, instantly sending turbulence erupting around Earth's orbit. Many distant space debris were pulled back, causing them to change course. Fortunately, Ivan was prepared. His Black Hammer, Lemnos, struck again, displaying the immense power of an Immortal-grade forging tool. It easily imprisoned the superheavy island elemental core, as if freezing space and time.

This is undoubtedly the most difficult part of casting the air flow engine. Subconsciously wiping away the non-existent cold sweat, Alvin controlled the Black Hammer Lemnos with one hand to keep it running, and with the other hand released the power of [Reshaping the World] on other raw materials prepared in advance.

Under the cover of dark golden light, a large amount of metal raw materials were vacuum smelted into nearly perfect alloy parts. The invisible power released by the secret force string combined them two by two like an invisible engineering robot arm.

Despite the astonishing quality and sheer scale of the project, the entire Titan-Pulling Power project was completed with remarkable speed. Gradually, a man-made object, massive enough to be visible from Earth's surface, began to take shape in low-Earth orbit.

Finally, the work that even the Titans would find tiring has finally come to an end. The finished product now floating in outer space is several metal rings with exaggerated diameters. Although they look very simple on the outside, they are filled with a large number of ultra-micro machines and combination methods inside.

These metal rings are nested at different angles and look like atomic models drawn in ancient alchemical texts from a distance.

As for the central atomic nucleus, it is the almost pitch-black, deep purple super-heavy island element core.

Holding his breath, Ivan carefully retracted the Black Hammer Lemnos's blockade. He watched as the deep purple elemental core suddenly trembled outward, and the surrounding metal rings immediately began to rotate. If the surroundings weren't space, this single movement would have been enough to unleash a terrifying storm. As the metal rings continued to rotate, following their pre-set structure, the invisible gravitational turbulence was organized into an orderly pattern, and the elemental core, separated from the heavy star crystal, gradually stabilized.

call--

What remains is the real final step.

With a firm resolve, Ivan clasped his palms together, like two guide rails aligning with an airflow engine several times larger than his own diameter. Then, his chest armor opened to the left and right, revealing a slowly expanding pitch-black crack: a portal to the leptonian realm.

Pulled by some invisible force, the air flow engine, which occupied an astonishing area, slowly became "smaller" in an incredible way until it was completely immersed in the black crack and was properly installed in the interior of the lepton space.

click -

Like the crisp sound of slots snapping into place when assembling a model, the iron-gray Titan suddenly swayed like water waves, and its outline blurred for a moment, becoming extremely far and extremely near, extremely large and extremely small.

The iron-gray giant, having stabilized, reopened his eyes. In an instant, invisible waves poured out in all directions, even the artificial space buildings far away at the Lagrange point were pulled in, and patches of red light, symbolizing warning and error, were lit up.

But in just a breath of time, Alvin completely took control of the officially activated air flow engine.

He raised his right arm, slowly brought his five fingers together, and made a simple fist, allowing the young Titan to fully feel what the power of space was!

“…” Alvin was silent for a long time, and suddenly a sigh arose in his heart.

Such exaggerated power is just the foundation. What kind of horrific war is going on between the Titans and the pure-colored beasts in the universe?

Chapter 216: Exploration Failed

Without immediately canceling the giant form, Alvin quietly felt the new power he had gained.

Strictly speaking, the Aeroflow Engine didn't instantly propel the Titan in Pluto Mode to high speed. This mechanism, integrated into the combat surrogate—Pluto—in the form of a special structure within lepton space, not only automatically absorbed energy and matter, but also served to enhance the surrogate's spatial control capabilities.

Originally, Ivan's use of the spatial abilities of his combat surrogate, Pluto, was like a human wielding a thin whip. While it could certainly make the target spin like a top, the majority of the power came from the user themselves. However, after acquiring the aerodynamic engine, the inherent super-heavy mass of the Heavy Star Crystal and its unique structure that interfered with gravity were like attaching a two-ton solid iron ball to the end of a slender yet lightweight whip, a ball with its own power capable of levitating, hovering, and accelerating with fire.

As a result, the long whip instantly transformed into a powered meteor hammer, and its impact on the target naturally multiplied and increased exponentially. To give a simple example, space teleportation, which was originally very limited in range, has now reached a level that surpasses ultra-long-distance teleportation magic.

In addition, with the help of the air flow engine's interference at the spatial level, after activating the Pluto mode, Alvin also has the ability to interfere with gravity. He can even use the abnormal gravity environment generated by the air flow engine to imitate various magical phenomena in space.

After a brief experience of his newfound power, Ivan, transformed into Pluto, began a continuous long-distance teleportation through space. Relying on teleportation, journeys that would normally take dozens of days or even months were swiftly covered. The massive metallic giant, clad in iron-gray armor, soon descended near the man-made structures in space.

Upon sensing the intrusion of outsiders, a large number of automatic defense devices were activated in an instant.

Not far away, from a disc-shaped space building shaped like a flower, more than thirty... solar water heaters?

Ivan froze in his tracks, unable to think of a more appropriate adjective. The main body of these objects was cylindrical, with six propulsion devices similar to vector nozzles mounted on either end, and a single, gleaming silver metal plate connected to the rear.

At first glance, it really looks like a solar water heater.

Well, sensing the fluctuations of magic power, Ivan speculated that the metal plate behind the long cylinder was probably a device that collected sunlight and converted it into energy. But if that were the case, wouldn't it be more like a solar water heater!?!

"Unidentified magical weapon detected. Warning: No one is allowed to enter the work area of ​​the Sun God Utunia without a permit! Please retreat to the public space under the escort of the automated guards!"

While issuing a warning, the flying 'solar water heater' folded up its silver metal plate, and the main body flipped and deformed with a 'click', and several mechanical arms extended one after another, each equipped with a very dangerous magical weapon.

Well, it's very dangerous for ordinary people.

"..." Alvin, who was surrounded by solar water heaters, was not angry, and even wanted to laugh.

However, this also confirmed to him that these automated guards were probably products of the ancient empire. Otherwise, his Titan identity should automatically grant him advanced privileges.

Unlike the giant civilizations that developed from the relics left behind by the Titans, the Ancient Empire, while also utilizing magical engineering technology on a large scale, only used the same basic theories, relying primarily on self-developed applied technologies.

Considering that there were antiques in front of him, Alvin, who was curious about the ancient empire, did not force his way in. Instead, he cooperated and retreated a distance.

Seeing this, the increasing number of automatic guards did not launch an attack. After accompanying them all the way to the so-called public space, these "solar water heaters" put away their weapons and flew back to the previous space building.

After a moment of contemplation, Pluto opened his outer iron mask, revealing his platinum-like, hardened face in his colossal form. Ivan considered how to initiate research without damaging the ancient ruins. He had a feeling the ancient empire didn't possess this level of productivity. Perhaps there was a hidden reason, but that would likely only be revealed once he entered.

This wasn't something that could be done in the short term, but after resolving the issues on the planet's surface, Diana could be brought over. With her near-intuitive perception of magical vehicles, perhaps she could gain access through technical means.

Thinking of this, Alvin took another look at the astonishingly large artificial space building complex in front of him, then turned and flew towards the planet where the Broken Sun Wasteland was located.

After a short while, the young Titan successfully entered the atmosphere and landed on the planet's surface. He had now switched back to human form, and apart from his height and clothing, he looked almost identical to the locals.

Tapping his toes to dissipate the final impact, Ivan looked around to see an unfamiliar environment, but he didn't hear the roar of the Iron Hands so common in the Broken Sun Wasteland. Clearly, due to the lack of mastery of atmospheric entry techniques, his landing point was somewhat different from his starting point.

In other words, Alvin is slightly lost...

If Frey knew about this, she would probably half-jokingly say something like, "Oh my god, you're such a grown-up, and you still get lost."

Huh? "Wife" already? Noticing the subtle change in address, Ivan blushed. With a light cough, Titan, pretending to be indifferent, began calculating the current spatial coordinates.

He soon realized he hadn't strayed far. It would probably take two or three teleports to return to the tribe. He also had an answer for the silence. The landing point didn't extend beyond the Stone Net Wasteland. The large iron beasts that inhabited this area had been largely eliminated during Alvin's earlier collection of raw materials.

Walking back to the tribe, Ivan noticed that many Amori Eagles had returned from other places. It seemed that building the air flow engine had taken longer than expected. Considering that he had already informed them before leaving, it shouldn't be a cause for concern.

Despite this, Ivan quickly found Frey and Diana, who were currently transforming the eight-legged stone chewer they had recently captured. Thus, thanks to a secret battle between a wizard and an engineering knight, this engineering magic machine, save for its eight spider-like legs, was no longer recognizable as it once was.

"Evan!"

Frey, who had noticed Ivan's return earlier, let out a cry of surprise and ran towards him without hesitation. Diana narrowed her eyes. Although she was half a beat behind at the start, the girl had very cleverly activated her magic vehicle.

So, Ivan, who had just returned to the surface, was immediately hit by the oncoming magical "dump truck".

The person involved was confused, but the silver-haired girl made a quick decision and jumped off the top of the eight-legged rock chewer. Without any buffering, she fell directly into Ivan's open arms.

At the same time, the eight-legged 'carriage' moved across to block Afrediya's path, causing the Demon King to scream and nearly reveal his true form and roar like a dragon.

"Ah, it's great to be young." Lady Kalimue, who had witnessed the entire process, sighed, propping up her strong chin. She then glanced at Beta, who was hesitant to speak. Seeing that he still didn't respond, she was furious and took the initiative, grabbing Chief Beta, who was praised by everyone as wise and fair, into her arms.

"Ma'am, I can't breathe!"

There was no way out. Beta's dull cry for help was only met with laughter.

Chapter 217: Molten Iron City

"We discovered it a little late." Beta's first words made Alvin realize the urgency of the matter.

The eagles of Amoli that flew out returned one after another, and the information most of them brought back was not optimistic.

"The remains of the Great Beast Gods No. 5 to No. 13 in the northern Great Hollow area have all shown signs of intrusion. The news from the western tribes is not optimistic either. The remains there are more numerous. As of the time of sending this message, they have also found similar signs in several places they have searched."
