Star Forge Titan

But after being in the real Palladio and becoming a true completer, Ivan felt confused.

Even though he was still limited by his own self-perception and imagination, the "Creator of Light" he had transformed from his core talent, "Reshaping the World," still possessed an exaggerated authority that was nearly omnipotent. This was so intense that Ivan couldn't help but feel a strange sense of belonging, like the feeling of wanting to do nothing after completing a game. Strictly speaking, it was even a bit empty.

Fortunately, he adjusted quickly. Afrediya who was noisy beside him and Diana who was always "staring" at this side also prevented Ivan from indulging in that confused and overly comfortable state for too long.

In addition, during the sublimation process, he sensed some information about the King's Soul Throne.

That object doesn't exist anywhere in the known universe. It's a massive engineering structure once "launched" into a higher dimension by the Titan Uranus civilization. Its specific function remains to be explored. Based on known intelligence, we can only confirm that it's likely related to the Titans' mission as "Players of the Stars," tuning the world's sounds.

Thinking about it this way, I still have a long way to go before I can achieve the ideal state of lying down and doing nothing.

Your work is not finished yet, you can't lie down now.JPG

"It's over just like that." Chief Beta, who had finally rushed back from afar, was also confused.

He had anticipated a gruesome final battle, even prepared for self-sacrifice. But the situation ended unexpectedly quickly, with surprisingly little impact. The main Amori tribes hadn't even had time to convene to decide who would lead the coalition. Alpha, the man behind the Sunshatter Wasteland's attempted subversion, fell, and the Great Beast God (Heavy Mecha God), reactivated after a century, similarly collapsed at lightning speed.

This time there wasn't even a fragment left, as the young man from outside the area took them all away in a sack.

After thinking for a while, Chief Beta pulled out a square black pistol from his pocket.

"In that case, there's no need for me to keep this thing anymore."

"What is this?" After pulling Frey off his body, Alvin looked at the ordinary black pistol in front of him curiously.

Its appearance looks like a handle welded on the bottom of a rectangular metal block. There is no text code or any decorative pattern on the surface. It is very simple, so simple that it is a bit crude.

"In fact, this is not a legacy of the imperial era, but a discovered secret treasure. Pulling the trigger can fire a magical beam with extremely strong penetrating power." Beta showed a nostalgic expression.

"Originally, Alpha gave it to me as an imperial legacy for self-defense, so I called it 'Reverberation Echo', the reverberation and echo of the ancient empire."

"But by chance I discovered that its true purpose was to be the key to enter the deeper realms of 'God's Gate - Babelon'. Unfortunately, the ghost of the sun god Utunia was wandering outside at the time. Even with the key, I couldn't enter the sky city 'Babelon'." Sighing regretfully, Beta looked up at the young man in front of him, his expression inexplicably becoming a little strange.

"Also, the person who actually created this weapon was neither the Imperial Research Department nor the Ancient Giant Kingdom, but..."

"The legendary traveler, the Titan who created the world."

"Huh?" Ivan and Frey exclaimed in surprise, and Diana also looked over the boy's shoulder at the ordinary black pistol.

"I can't accept such a valuable thing." After looking at his girlfriend, Ivan shook his head and did not take the Echo Pistol.

"Take it. I don't need such a powerful weapon anymore. The Amori people shouldn't fight each other next time. Finding a way to save the wasteland is the top priority." Beta smiled and handed the Echo to Ivan again.

"..." After thinking about it, Alvin recalled his previous idea and no longer refused. He took the opportunity to discover the secret treasure called "Reverberation Echo".

As soon as it was touched, the spirit terminal responded.

[Portable Space Boring Machine] The true name of this 'pistol' quietly emerged.

Holy crap, it's actually a Titan creation!?! At first, Ivan thought it was just hearsay. But the moment he saw the name, he realized why this thing appeared on this alien planet.

Clearly, this [Portable Space Boring Machine] was the key tool for excavating the "Dual Star Road" connecting the planet Palladio with the alien world discovered by the Ancient Empire. As for the high-penetrating magic beam Chief Beta mentioned, it was actually a positioning beam used to determine the specific direction before actually digging the space channel.

This thing is equipped with a two-stage trigger, also called a double-action trigger, which is responsible for activating two different functions.

Pull the first trigger to activate the positioning beam.

Pull the second trigger and start space excavation.

Due to the lack of recognition permission, Chief Beta could only use the 'harmless' function to locate the beam, but did not have the relevant authority to use the 'dangerous' function of space excavation. Therefore, for a long time, he used this thing as an ordinary heritage weapon.

To a Titan, this was probably just an ordinary tool like a screwdriver. Therefore, it didn't even have remote connection capabilities; physical contact was required to display relevant information. Regarding the specific operating principles, Ivan casually examined them for a moment before understanding the internal mechanical structure through the outer shell.

The specific operating principle is somewhat complicated. Simply put, this thing can interfere with gravitons, thereby creating a space tunnel within the calibrated range.

Poke.

Afrediya poked Ivan with her finger from behind.

"So, we can use this to get inside the Sky City, 'God's Gate - Babelon'?"

"Oh, that's right." Alvin clapped his hands belatedly.

"Great!" His Majesty the Demon King cheered like a child.

"Go explore, go explore!"

"It's not impossible. What do you think, Diana?" Ivan shrugged casually, then looked at the silver-haired girl who always remained silent.

"Yeah." Diana nodded. Although her expression didn't change much, her eyes revealed a bit of excitement.

"But before I go on my adventure, I have something else to do."

"Hey? Can you go faster?" Freira said in a long tone, and her cheeks puffed up like a hamster.

"Don't worry, it won't take too long." Alvin smiled and looked at the desolate Broken Sun Wasteland.

"Just to give the planet a shine."

Chapter 234 Star Polishing

The alien planet developed by the ancient empire was named "Damia", which has the beautiful meaning of "a distant land of hope".

But after the Sunshattering War, this planet was left with only the hopeless name of "Sunshattering Wasteland", a heavy name filled with despair.

In Alvin's opinion, compared to the nuclear war that humans were most worried about in their previous lives, the Broken Sun Wasteland does not need to worry about serious pollution such as "nuclear radiation" that takes a long time to eliminate.

The more troublesome issue, however, was the out-of-control magic machines that were everywhere. Their sheer number and constant reproduction made them even more difficult to deal with than cockroaches. Furthermore, the various ruins created by the out-of-control magic machines, repeating their final commands, had a significant impact on the natural environment, a challenge that must be addressed if the planet's environment was to be restored.

Despite numerous problems, Dali can still perform miracles, not to mention that there are local "guides" to help.

Although not explicitly stated, Beta knew that he was not a true Imperial citizen, but rather a product of the automated machines in the shelter, cloning the bodies of Imperials and instilling their memories. However, he still considered himself a relic of the past era, with a natural and unshirkable responsibility for the current situation.

Therefore, in addition to collecting knowledge and popularizing education over the past decade, Beta has been thinking most about how to repair the Broken Sun Wasteland.

"First of all, we have to shut down this industrial zone, where uncontrolled engineering magic machines are regularly produced." Spreading a map on the table, Chief Beta described the details of the problem very seriously.

"Can we just destroy it?" Alvin looked to the east, where was the industrial zone that Uncle Beta had pointed to.

"It should be no problem. The area around the industrial zone is where there are the most out-of-control magic machines. No tribe dared to approach it three years ago." Chief Beta nodded, then looked confused.

"That's good." Alvin nodded, then stretched out his hand and pressed lightly.

Suddenly, a vast mass of light converged on a single point in the sky. The dense dust clouds in the low sky were shattered by something massive. It was a massive hand descending from above, landing on the ground with a resounding roar, completely annihilating the entire industrial zone. But when the hand dissipated, transforming into a point of light, what remained was not a deep pit, but a patch of fertile, tilled land.

The trial run was successful, and the new fifth-level Perfecter nodded in satisfaction. He then casually suggested to the local guide beside him:

"I've converted the factory area and industrial pollution into organic fertilizer and applied it to the land. Later, I can arrange for tribes skilled in farming to settle there and open up the wasteland. Next year, we should have a good harvest."

"Oh, that's amazing." Seeing the same scene, Afrediya immediately thought of the terrible geographical environment of the Northern Demon Kingdom.

"Go back and build one for our family!" His Majesty the Demon King shouted rudely.

"It's not impossible." Alvin scratched his face, thinking of the northern permafrost and silent desert on the planet Palladia.

I remember that in addition to those two places, there were many other bad areas that were so bad that they were "hopeless and it is recommended to reopen", or to put it more euphemistically, there was a lot of room for improvement.

"..." Meanwhile, Beta fell into a delicate silence. Looking at Ivan, whose appearance had become similar to that of an ordinary young man, he nodded after a long moment, his movements somewhat slow.

"It's a bit inefficient to handle them one by one. Please tell me all the details. It should be more efficient for me to handle them in batches by region later." Ivan shook his head. Compared with the vast land of the entire planet "Damia", a mere cluster of factories was indeed a bit small.

But solving specific problems specifically and leaving no future troubles is also the key to solving the wasteland problem.

Is this still called inefficiency?

Beta, who heard these words on the other side, didn't know what to say. When he came to his senses, he immediately realized it and trembled, looking so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Beta's mouth was dry from talking all the time, and he finally took a breath to drink some water. At that moment, he turned around and saw that Ivan, who had been listening attentively to the information, had disappeared from the spot.

"Huh?" Chief Beta exclaimed in surprise. Then, the ground beneath his feet began to shake slightly. It wasn't dangerous, at best a weak earthquake below level three, barely perceptible or barely noticeable.

But looking up at the sky, Beta was stunned by the sight before him. A gigantic figure, shimmering white, appeared in low-Earth orbit. Even from the surface, looking upward, its outline was clearly visible.

"Passer-by, Titan?" He muttered to himself, and saw the pile of building ruins in the distance shrouded in a ray of light.

A large amount of rubble was quickly cleared away by the waving of an invisible giant hand, and then the ground bulged upward, turning into a mountain structure with the function of regulating the climate in the surrounding area.

Similar scenes occurred in more than one place. At the same time, more than dozens of light beams were cast from low-Earth orbit, either to change the terrain, or to clear pollution, or to restore dangerous out-of-control magic machines into parts. Someone even had the leisure to neatly stack the parts in a makeshift warehouse.

For Alvin, this can help him adapt to the new power as quickly as possible, help others, and even accumulate planetary-level dust-fighting experience.

It's like killing two birds with one stone, winning again and again.

"I'll help too." Afrediya excitedly revealed her true form as an ancient dragon and began to move the rubble, or rather, to make things worse.

Well, that’s not the case. After His Majesty the Demon King transforms into an ancient dragon, he is probably equivalent to seventeen or eighteen units of heavy excavators. In any case, he is very useful!

Out of concern for family harmony, Ivan suppressed his complaints and diligently unleashed his Light Creator's ability to reshape matter. Using the ubiquitous sunlight as a medium, he effortlessly molded a crooked mountain range, trapping abundant moisture on the plains below, artificially creating a uniquely habitable area.

Although his abilities have improved beyond imagination, what Alvin first felt was not a sense of self-aggrandizement like "how lonely it is to be invincible". Instead, he had a strong urge to go back to school.

[Earth Curse] My geography grades are apparently pretty good, so how come I can shape a mountain range into something like a loach? No, this isn't a loach, it's poop, the kind you force out after constipation from eating too few vegetables. Shit, if the Amori people ever develop enough to launch satellites, and they see this mountain range from space, they'll probably name it the Poop Mountain Range.

Humph, don’t do that kind of thing!

In low-Earth orbit, where even probes can't detect him, Ivan practically wanted to do a handstand and spin eighteen times in his head. The reason was simple: his craftsmanship was too shabby. If his former model-making friends saw him, they'd probably laugh at him for the entire year, from Chinese New Year to next year's New Year's Eve.

It must be due to lack of experience, and it definitely doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with my aesthetic sense. I’ll definitely get better after trying a few more times!

Secretly cheering himself up, Alvin continued to perform Titan-level performance art.

If there is really no other option, we can only suffer the consequences of the planet's appearance and let the Titans bear the blame.

Anyway, it won’t be worse than the current wasteland!

Yes, this is a surgery, not medical beauty.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt justified!

Chapter 235 It’s time to rest

For six days, Alvin worked day and night for six days before he finally completed the polishing and renovation work on the planet "Damia".

You know, some jobs will not become less and less as you do them, but rather the more you do them, the more problems you will encounter, the more things you will have to do, and the more troubles you will have.

Especially large-scale, comprehensive operations such as adjusting the planetary environment, which involve all aspects.

In a sense, repairing a post-war planet is even more cumbersome than rebuilding a desolate one from scratch. The Sunshattering War launched by the previous civilization was a truly apocalyptic, world-destroying war. The legacy it left behind is like the mountain of code a former programmer left behind before fleeing, without any log files or comments!

It is troublesome, really very troublesome, but the rewards are also great.

Practice makes perfect. Ivan now fully understood the meaning of this phrase. Six days of continuous work had not only deepened his understanding of the capabilities of a truly awakened [Creator of Light], but also given him a firsthand understanding of planetary geography and related disciplines—the experience of having your face smeared by a stream of boiling magma.

This is a true story. Before "polishing" the planet Damia, Alvin would never have thought that if he did not adjust the position of the underground plates in advance before rubbing the mountains with his hands, there would be a high probability that he would accidentally rub out an active volcano.

What's even more infuriating is that when Afrediya saw a Titan who dropped out of elementary school (Uranus rules) having his face covered in lava, instead of being nervous or worried, she laughed so hard that she rolled on the spot in ancient dragon form, causing more lava to spew out and cover his head and face.

It's confirmed. It must be because I joked that she would cause trouble, so she really came to cause trouble.

Is this tolerable? Clearly not. As he grabbed a handful of lava and threw it over, Ivan had the illusion that he was taking his girlfriend to the beach to play in the water. Well, it must be an illusion... right?

Afrediya, who had transformed into a dragon, was more lively than before, or rather, she didn't care about her image. She didn't try to avoid the splashing lava at all, and even plunged directly into the depths of the lava channel. Her movements were so bold and rough, it was like a modern person reverting to his ancestral form and standing upright in a terrifying manner.

This metaphor is no exaggeration. In ancient Paladia, a group of primitive barbarian dragons lived, the oldest ancestors of modern dragons. Aside from a brief breeding season, these extraordinary creatures usually swam within the magma layer. While the true form of the brilliant dragon Afredia manifested possessed magical abilities limited to controlling gravity, its body structure was closest to the true form of the primitive barbarian dragons of Paladia, offering exceptional resistance to both high temperatures and high pressures.

For the Brilliant Dragon, swimming in magma is just a daily basic exercise, which is an aerobic exercise. Only roaming in space can be considered an anaerobic exercise with some intensity.

Therefore, combining her own knowledge with that of the Dragon Legacy, Afredia instructed Ivan to first coordinate the planet's outermost crustal plates before addressing other aspects. Even without drilling into the Earth to adjust the plate structure, this part of the work was no easy task. The planetary environment is an extremely complex and delicate system; even a single parameter misadjustment could lead to serious consequences.

Considering that it is difficult for the Amori people to live in the plains where the average temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius, Alvin is extremely cautious in his work.

Furthermore, Chief Beta was of great assistance during the planet's polishing and renovation. Considering the Amori people have lost their primary cultural heritage, their organization is even less advanced than that of a feudal kingdom, with most groups still in the early tribal era. Without Beta's diplomatic intervention, it would be difficult for Ivan to properly mobilize and organize the various Amori tribes on his own.

To sum up, by the evening of the sixth day, even Alvin was so tired that he lay down against the mountain in Titan form.

With his hands resting on the hills on both sides, Ge You's lying Titan reflects the afterglow of the sunset.

A few days ago, he rearranged the solar arrays located at the Lagrange point, and now they no longer affect the lighting of the planet.

At this moment, when looking at the sky from the surface of Damia, one will no longer see a sun full of 'cracks', and the surface temperature of the planet will gradually return to a more suitable range, and even the temperature difference between day and night will become much more normal.

A rumbling sound came from behind, and Afrediya in the form of an ancient dragon climbed up from the back of the mountain, placed her two front legs on Ivan's head, and wrapped her long dragon neck around and rubbed his cheek with her dragon horns.

Are you a cat or a dragon?

As sparks flew, Alvin almost couldn't hold back. His Majesty the Demon King also noticed that this action was a bit like a cat rubbing its head against its keeper, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Both of them switched back to human mode and sat on the same stone without feeling crowded.

"Finally, most of the work is done." Alvin stretched and hugged Afrediya's soft body. He smelled a faint fragrance in his nose, and then saw the new plants on the nearby mountain top quietly blooming.

"The world is alive." Fulei raised her feet and placed them on the stone, hugging her knees with her hands and curling up into a ball, a relaxed smile also appearing on her face.

Ivan quietly raised his eyelids to glance at the complacent Demon King, but he resisted asking where he'd taken Diana. He wasn't stupid enough to mention another woman in front of one. As for the latter, while Diana appeared aloof and uncaring, she was actually quite honest. It was only natural that she'd been tricked into going somewhere else by this cunning Demon King. He'd make it up to her next time...
