Star Forge Titan

"Can I rest tomorrow?" Frey suddenly thought of something and looked up at Ivan with watery eyes.

"Uh-huh."

"Can we go explore the ruins now?" Afrediya's voice rose, and her smile became more joyful.

"Uh-huh."

"Not bringing anyone else?" His Majesty the Demon King revealed his true intentions.

"Well...it depends on the situation." Alvin showed an embarrassed but polite expression, and then began to talk about other things.

"Tsk." Fulei curled her lips. Considering that someone had worked hard to do good things a few days ago, she would let him go for now.

"Come to think of it, why did you become like this?" Looking at the now ordinary Ivan, Frey couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Because, this is me." As he said this, the young Titan who had just become a fifth-level perfector suddenly laughed.

"It doesn't have that much muscle, nor does it have a gem embedded between its brows, nor does it have exaggerated glowing patterns on its body, but this is the most familiar look in my memory."

"That's fine, it's still you anyway, and... hehe." Frey suddenly smiled evilly.

"Now it seems that I am taller." Hugging Ivan in turn, His Majesty the Demon King said in a deliberately harsh tone:

"Unless you count the corners." He rolled his eyes helplessly. At this moment, Alvin, who was at least 1.8 meters tall, would not tolerate the other party.

The polished and renovated world is beautiful, but also very empty. There is not a single moving thing around except for plants.

So, the two people who had just finished their work folded them together.

The flowers and plants will not have any objections, and the stone should have no objections either. After all, it was made by one of them personally, and its shape and load-bearing capacity are all excellent. It does not have a mouth, ears, or two eyes.

Afterwards, feeling the cool mountain breeze, Alvin suddenly thought of something.

"How long have we been here?" the young man asked hesitantly.

"I don't know, maybe almost a month?" Afrestia replied lazily.

"Uh, will there be trouble over at the City of a Thousand Towers?"

"What trouble could there be? They're just waiting for us to leave."

"But if you think about it, the current Demon King of Elrond disappeared in their territory."

"Wow, now that you mention it..." Frey was stunned for a moment, a subtle expression on her face. Although she and her boyfriend had secretly gone on a trip, she had at least maintained regular contact with her family back home during her time in Palladio.

However, due to the disconnection of the binary star road, after arriving at the alien planet Damia, the current Demon King had lost contact with her loyal northern demon kingdom Elrond for a long time.

Afrediya laughed with a gloating look at the troubles she might have encountered at the school she had attended.

"They're more than just in trouble, they're in big trouble!"

As expected, within the Tower Council, the highest administrative body of the City of Thousand Towers, the great wizards are blaming each other.

As for the reason for their disgraceful performance, it probably had something to do with the Super Crossbow-class battleship floating outside the window. Oh, and probably also because of the army-sized Arcane-transformed war beasts outside the city.

"Think of a solution!" a great wizard called out loudly.

"Even the Heavens have sent a note!!!"

"Hurry up and think of a way to get him back!"

Chapter 236 Arrival at the Ruins

Over in the City of Thousand Towers, the great wizards will probably be in a meeting for a while.

As for the main person involved, he felt the mountain breeze gently hitting his cheek, and then Alvin woke up.

What's going on? Didn't I build a rustic stone lighthouse as a temporary home yesterday? Why is the wind blowing on my cheeks so cool so early in the morning?

Opening his eyes in surprise, Ivan discovered he had somehow transformed into a Titan. His massive form leaned against the mountain, his posture remarkably peaceful, a testament to his excellent sleep quality.

Strictly speaking, sleep had long ceased to be a necessity for Alvin. But fatigue always came suddenly after excessive exertion. Six consecutive days of planet polishing was still a bit tiring for a (presumably) young Titan, and sleep was undoubtedly the best way to rest.

After thinking for a moment, Alvin suddenly realized that after experiencing the final awakening of the King's Soul, although his control over this power was still at the initial stage, not even at the entry level, his self-awareness had quietly changed.

Perhaps, the reason he subconsciously changed back to the most ordinary appearance in his memory was that he instinctively wanted to remember the feeling of being a mortal so as not to be overwhelmed by the sudden increase in power.

In addition, labor is undoubtedly one of the best psychological treatment methods.

After six days of volunteer service (correctly), some subtle deviations in my mentality were quickly corrected, but changes in my self-awareness also came along with it, so I unknowingly turned back into a giant.

Simply put, Ivan's identification with his Titan form has gradually grown stronger than his human form. His transformation into a mortal form is more like donning a costume and mask for a carnival outing. Well, in a sense, it can be considered a form of cosplay.

Not knowing whether this change in cognition has any hidden dangers, while pondering philosophical questions such as the Ship of Theseus, Alvin subtly sighed that people really can't be idle, as idleness will only cause problems.

Maybe I should just work on it for a few more days? That mountain range to the east seems a bit crooked, so I might as well move it two kilometers to the west. Or maybe I could just imitate nature and push the two plates deep in the bottom crust together, letting the mountains take shape naturally. Maybe that would create a more natural and beautiful mountain range.

Anyway, most of the Amori people have already migrated to the plains, and the shockwaves there will not even cause a slight earthquake. Besides, there are no tower buildings dozens of stories high now, so most people cannot feel the aftermath at all.

Instinctively conceiving a new planetary geographical construction project, Ivan suddenly felt someone grabbing his left eyelid and sticking half of his head down.

"Rough removal pill!"

Afredia, her red hair hanging down, enthusiastically greeted the Titan's pupils. It felt like after leaving Elrond, this woman had become even more unrestrained, like a husky on the loose. Wait, are dragons considered cats or dogs?

While thinking, Alvin turned his eyes to the side and saw Diana wearing sunglasses with her hands on the car window. She tilted her head coolly, indicating that she was ready to go on a trip at any time.

Oh, the silver-haired beauty makes a dashing appearance. Wait, where did she get the car?

Using two fingers to lift Her Majesty the Demon King, he placed her back on the ground. On the spot, Ivan transformed into a ball of mist emitting a faint silver-white glow. The curling mist swirled and collapsed inward, transforming very smoothly into the appearance of a mortal.

"Where is this car...huh?" Before he could finish his words, Alvin suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and at the same time, a soft impact came from his back, and it seemed that Frey had jumped up from behind him.

And in a place where he couldn't see, or pretended not to see, the Demon King was slightly raising his head and tilting his nose with a smug expression.

In response to such childish provocation, Diana simply pushed her sunglasses, said nothing, and made a gesture to drive away.

"Hey, we haven't gotten on the car yet." The smug expression on Frey's face didn't last for more than three seconds before she couldn't hold it back anymore.

His Majesty the Demon King puffed up his face, grabbed Ivan, who had an expression of "whatever", and hurriedly jumped into the car that had already started. He admitted defeat and surrendered instantly, just like the French.

Originally, Afrediya had intended to secretly go on a date with Ivan at the ruins of Babelon, the Gate of God. But Diana intervened, decisively pulling the car over to the side of the road and creating a fait accompli. Thus, the frustrated Demon King resorted to childish provocation, but she was the first to lose her composure.

Seeing Afrediya puffing up her cheeks like a hamster, Diana still said nothing, but just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, which made the Demon King, who saw this scene through the rearview mirror, even more angry.

What could Alvin say? He could only smile. As for the magical vehicle beneath him, resembling an open-top off-road vehicle, it was a pieced-together creation Diana had assembled from leftover parts from a previous mobile weapon. While its speed was limited, its interior was surprisingly spacious.

Anyway, they weren't in a rush. If they really needed to hurry, they could just teleport there. Driving along the way, they could also take in the beautiful scenery of the alien planet Damia. It was basically a self-driving tour.

On the way, Ivan naturally acted as a temporary tour guide. He was very familiar with all the nearby mountains and rivers. After all, the entire mountain range was handmade, so he was very familiar with it.

"Look at that mountain over there. When I was sculpting it, I referenced the famous mountains in my hometown. So, besides blocking moisture to ensure adequate rainfall in the plains, the shape is also..."

"It looks like a lump." His Majesty the Demon King mercilessly delivered a piercing blow, instantly silencing Ivan. Frey, as his girlfriend, showed only mercy by not directly stating what it resembled.

A speechless Titan looked up at the sky, muttering something like "This is my first time too." "This is a pure handmade work, a Titan's work, how can you say it looks like that?" "That's too much." The car was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and it really felt like a self-driving tour.

Diana patted Ivan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sympathetically. Not commenting was her greatest kindness, so gentle that it made people want to cry.

As for Afrediya, she laughed the loudest.

Damn it, it’s so damn damn. I must teach this woman a lesson when I get back.

We laughed and joked our way through canyons and over mountains, sometimes with difficult roads, which meant we went from being in the car to being in the car. Anyway, as the sun, once again shining, rose to the center of the sky, the car reached the ruins of Babylon, the Gate of God, on the distant horizon.

The Gate of Gods, Babelon, appears only the size of a palm from a distance, but upon closer inspection, one discovers that this single structure actually encompasses an area comparable to that of an entire city. Although its base slopes diagonally into the ground, submerging the area below, the portion above ground alone possesses an impressive scale.

The Gate of God - Babylon can be roughly divided into three areas. The area becomes smaller as you go up, but the architectural style becomes more refined.

Only the top floor is occupied by lush plants, which makes it look larger than the middle floor.

"What a huge city." Looking at the ruins of the Gate of God that looked like a small hill, Afrediya couldn't help but sigh bluntly.

"It looks like a cake." Alvin curled his lips. He had just been mercilessly criticized by his girlfriend for his handicrafts, so now he wanted to find fault with anyone's work. There was no objectivity at all, only pure subjective dislike.

Diana took off her glasses, her eyes showing surprise. Then, she calmly took Ivan's arm, which made the Demon King, who realized it later, raise his eyebrows immediately.

"Cunning." Afrediya muttered as she occupied the other side. Both girls were tall, and for a moment they dragged Ivan towards the ruins as if they were lifting him up.

What could Alvin say? He could only obey them.

Chapter 237 Entering the Ruins

Before entering the Gate of God - Babelon, Alvin was thinking about a question.

Originally, according to the information he obtained from Chief Beta, researchers from the Ancient Empire had discovered the legacy of a "passerby" inside the Gate of God, Babelon.

That mysterious machine, whose function remains unknown, is connected to a cluster of space structures anchored at a Lagrange point. The former constantly receives the vast energy accumulated by the latter after converting sunlight. This influence has even fundamentally altered the magical environment on Damia's surface, endowing the planet with a stable and uniquely inert magical field.

Therefore, Alvin deduced that the fourth flawless gem was located inside the "Gate of God - Babylon".

But the real storage place of the gem is far away in the hidden space dimension of the Lagrange point. If one does not learn the ability to control space through Pluto's proxy, it will be difficult to take it out even if one awakens the Titan genetic factor.

To put it another way, this gem can only be obtained by Alvin, and only Alvin who has explored the ruins of the Giant Kingdom and obtained a complete set of Pluto blueprints can obtain it.

The whole process was very targeted, except for writing Evan's name on the gem. It can be said that it was full of fate.

However, the parties involved might not have imagined that someone would awaken the ultimate authority of the soul of King Uranus on their own without relying on the power of the flawless gem or holding the Great Mystery - the Foundation of the Original World.

Shaking his head, Alvin had some guesses about the hidden story but didn't want to think too much about it.

Although he was unsure whether the other party had any hardship, he felt relieved when considering the hostile life forms that would arrive in a hundred years - the "large group" of pure-colored followers, and the shadow of the super beast following behind them.

Resolve the main contradiction first. Before that, all minor contradictions can be put aside.

Obviously, Ivan's distracted mind did not affect his visit to the ancient ruins. To be honest, he was a little interested in the mysterious machine, but not too big.

What truly completes the forging of flawless gems is the space building cluster located in space.

That silver building can collect solar wind, thereby extracting rare stellar matter as raw material for forging flawless gemstones. As for the machine on the ground, it is probably used to absorb the excess energy accumulated during the process. To put it bluntly, it serves as a trash can for the experimental byproducts. Well, perhaps it has other functions as well.

Anyway, let’s go in and take a look first.

However, entering the 'Gate of God - Babelon' first requires resolving a minor issue. At the end of the Sunshattering War, a madness virus was unleashed, sending all the scattered automated magical weapons into a state of rampage. These out-of-control machines will attack anyone within their range.

Therefore, the three people who carelessly drove the car to the outskirts of the ruins of "God's Gate - Babelon" immediately became the targets of siege by many automatic magic weapons.

Well, maybe this is what they call being besieged.

"Wow, there are so many magical weapons outside these ruins."

Afredia happily disassembled an attacking automated magical weapon, like a child gleefully destroying a toy. Considering the size difference between an ancient dragon and a regular magical weapon, there was no essential difference between the two actions. As for the numerous attacks launched by the latter, against a brilliant dragon capable of single-handedly venturing into outer space, they couldn't even scratch a single scale.

Diana's eyes also lit up. She was more interested in the magical technology used in it. She couldn't help but hug Ivan's arms tightly and looked at him expectantly.

Being looked at so eagerly by the usually aloof silver-haired girl was really unsettling.

"Uh, Frey." Alvin called out to His Majesty the Demon King hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Afrediya, who had transformed into an ancient dragon, was holding the remains of a magical weapon in her mouth and swinging her tail with a "click, click" sound. When she heard the sound, she quickly turned her head to look at her boyfriend.

The ancient dragon's true form is covered in golden scales and is extremely large, with sharp teeth and claws comparable to heavy excavators and industrial crushers, but its movements actually reveal a bit of cuteness, as if a big golden retriever is holding a frisbee and wagging its tail at you.

"I mean, I think I have the authority to shut them down. Besides, these things can be considered antiques...right?"

Snapped!

Afrediya was stunned, letting half of the magic weapon's wreckage fall from her mouth. The thing hit the ground, and she struggled to raise the only remaining limb, and hit the Demon King's little toe hard, and then the latter sat under her butt embarrassedly.

Hide the broken things. Are you only three years old this year?

Witnessing Afrediya's act of 'destroying the body' with his own eyes, Ivan's mouth twitched uncontrollably, but he finally tried hard to restrain the urge to laugh out loud.

Wait for him to take out the Slate of Wisdom and fiddle with it.

hum-

As if the power button on a remote control had been removed, a strange sound of flowing magic power echoed in all directions, and the automatic magic weapons that had been welcoming (not) enthusiastically just now now all fell into a state of stillness.

In reality, the Madness Virus not only destroyed the magic weapon's friend-or-foe identification capabilities, it also completely deleted the original administrator privileges. Therefore, even if an engineer with administrator privileges from the Ancient Empire were resurrected, they wouldn't be able to stop its rampage.

However, the fundamental theories of magical engineering that powered the machines were profoundly influenced by the Giant Kingdom, practically a direct descendant of the same principles. Therefore, through his slate of wisdom, Ivan expertly manipulated the various magical engineering artifacts around him, deleting and modifying the underlying code within their operating logic, thereby forcing the automated magical machines to shut down.

He had already done this many times during his renovations of Damia. The planet was rife with industrial mother machines, overproduced after losing control. The resulting secondary magical machines were countless, including some gigantic industrial knife-sharpening machines.

Once, Alvin dug out a worm-shaped underground excavation device of astonishing length from the ground, not just one, but many.

I was a little surprised at first, but then I got used to it.

Considering that the Amor people might need to use these magic machines in the future, he did not destroy them. Instead, he sorted them and stored them properly in the underground warehouse, and informed Chief Beta of the relevant records.

"Ivan, you are so awesome."
