Star Forge Titan

After realizing this, Ivan's mind raced with complex emotions. His fists clenched tightly, his fingers clenched like iron, and he felt the urge to strike. He had no idea which Titan had created this thing, and even less of their reasoning for designing a planetary shield generator into a pot, even with its exceptionally plain and unadorned exterior, bordering on crude.

There was no need to ask, "Did you do that on purpose? Or was it an accident?" Ivan found it hard to believe that the other party didn't do it on purpose.

By the time he used his bare hands to stop the inertia from flying backwards, Afrediya could no longer suppress the teasing smile on her face. Even Diana covered her mouth and turned her head away, obviously laughing as well.

"Don't mention that." Sighing, the young Titan, unaware of the dangers of the world, finally said this. But what greeted him was only a series of dragon laughter, which made people want to wrestle with the dragon on the spot.

After some laughter, Ivan returned to the double-handled, long-necked copper kettle. Judging from the message that popped up on the spiritual terminal, this item was actually a gift from a senior. An invisible force field barrier constantly enveloped the copper kettle, and any unauthorized individual approaching within a certain range would be repelled.

However, if an awakened Titan were to approach the copper kettle a second time, it could be easily transformed into a lepton space structure, granting it not only a planetary-scale defensive shield but also a massive energy storage device. If the shield's coverage area were reduced, its defensive power would be indirectly enhanced, raising the threshold of attacks per unit area to an incredible level.

The reason why Alvin was thrown away just now was because the planetary-sized shield was condensed to the size of a pot, which in a sense could be said to be quite excessive.

Coupled with the setting that it can only be transformed by approaching it a second time, the implied bad taste is simply not acted out.

Taking a closer look at the double-handled copper kettle, it is difficult to tell from its appearance that when this thing is fully powered, it can actually support a huge protective force field covering the entire planet.

But then again, ordinary force-field shields were of little use to Ivan right now. Once he integrated the spatial distortion barrier into his Dimensional Wave Fist, he was confident he could create a near-permanent passive spatial barrier. Any attack would then be directly deflected spatially to any desired direction.

jHowever, the function of converting the shield generator into a lepton space building gave Alvin a new understanding.

Originally used as a portable storage device, the lepton space may hold even greater value to the Titans. Based on existing intelligence and a rational association, it is known that lepton space does not exist in the material universe, but rather opens up a new dimension between individual consciousness and the real universe. It is like taking parts of the individual and the world, mixing them together, and creating a special field that combines the dual characteristics of consciousness and matter.

Putting aside overly metaphysical descriptions, even if we simply expand the lepton space further and build more and more special-function buildings in it, we can develop very exaggerated results.

By then, the mature Titans that appear to be moving in human or giant form will actually be super spaceships with multiple functions. They can further become fully fortified mobile fortresses, or even living planets with self-awareness, or super-giant arks on the scale of celestial bodies.

Perhaps, for an advanced cosmic civilization that truly possesses the ability to navigate between galaxies, a spaceship is nothing, but a spaceship that can carry star-breaking weapons is another concept, and the Celestial Ark is equivalent to the trump card of the final decisive battle weapon.

Furthermore, a Titan entering its mature stage wouldn't stop growing stronger. When the lepton space evolved to its limit, it might eventually become... a whole new universe?

Among such absurd Titans, what kind of power does the King Soul of Uranus, revered by many Titans as the 'Power of the King', possess? In other words, what kind of power is enough to make the Titans, who are as big as the stars, bow down to him?

Ivan couldn't give a definitive answer. He wasn't even 100% certain he'd attained the power of the King's Soul. His original soul power, after undergoing a profound sublimation, had indeed reached a new realm, giving rise to astonishing authority with unspecified boundaries. But overall, he felt he'd achieved a breakthrough, and indeed, he was stronger than before. However, the nature of his power, its operating principles, and its limits remained unknown, as if he were carrying around a useful and user-friendly technological black box.

It works, but it can't be parsed.

The ultimate evolution of "Reshaping the World," the "Creator of Light," retains the authority to reshape and recreate all existence in multiple realms, including matter and energy, while also evolving into new, more complex abilities. While the details are complex, a simple description can be summarized as "giving names to people or things," an ability to define and judge.

It's basically like this: if Alvin points at a stone and calls it a marshmallow, then the stone will become just like a marshmallow, able to dissolve in water, be eaten, and be converted into the calories needed by the body and the fat that causes obesity.

It's like a lie...

If this ability were to continue developing, perhaps when he made his decision, all the stones in the world would turn into soft marshmallows. As for how to reach that state, that was a new bottleneck.

Thinking of this, Alvin was suddenly stunned. Could it be that the authority that can essentially modify the laws of physics and even the entire real universe is the so-called power of the king's soul and the so-called "throne"?

Then, a computer term that was not unfamiliar to me in my previous life came to my mind: super administrator privileges.

Wow, it turns out that Titan is not only a spirit of planets and galaxies, but also a spirit of consoles!

His mouth slowly opened, but before Frey and the others could get surprised, Alvin immediately closed it again.

It was just a dream to have power that he hadn't yet obtained. Besides, could he really control such authority? He couldn't help but fall into deep thought about this.

After regaining consciousness, he carefully stored the ancient Easter egg that read "Planetary Shield Generator" and Afrediya suddenly asked:

"Isn't that the 'key' needed to enter the deeper areas of Babylon?"

"Indeed, we don't seem to have encountered any locked doors." Alvin also recalled the special information about the Echo Pistol.

"We took the wrong path." Diana pointed to the ground beneath her feet in a concise manner.

"Direction." The silver-haired girl continued to explain.

“…” The other two looked at each other.

"Diana is so smart."

"Oh, you are worthy of being called Little Moon."

"Awesome, awesome! Lind is the fastest and also the coolest."

The two mouths lavished praises like they were free of charge. The silver-haired girl, who had just been acting very frugal with words, immediately blushed and raised her hand to hit someone.

After realizing that the real deep area of ​​the Gate of God might be located on the bottom floor, the three immediately returned to the lower industrial area and then went underground along the opposite road.

This floating city is crisscrossed with pipes, and massive mechanical devices of unknown purpose can be seen everywhere. Even after nearly a century of unmaintained operation, they still maintain their original functions. The minerals required to forge so many magical machines alone are astronomical, which gives us an idea of ​​the power of the ancient empire at its peak.

But even such a huge country was eventually destroyed, which makes people feel sad.

The further down they went, the wider the path became. When Alvin and the other two reached the bottom, where there was no path, they saw a massive iron tree occupying the entire space. It was made entirely of metal, its tangled tendrils entwined into a dark sphere, and there was no visible passage leading deeper.

"Is it time to use the key?" Afrediya looked at Ivan.

"Yeah." The latter didn't waste any words and directly took out the discovered secret treasure called 'Reverberation Echo'.

This ancient relic, resembling a black pistol, is used by naturally aiming at the target and pulling the trigger.

Ivan looked up at the tree ball in front of him. If using the secret key was really that simple, where exactly should he aim? Then, he saw a small dot deliberately painted red in the center of the tree ball.

A frown crossed his forehead, but upon reflection, Ivan wasn't surprised. To the ancient empire at the time, this was a Titan creation whose workings were impossible to parse. Memorizing the instructions with a foolproof mindset would actually make it less likely to make mistakes.

Thinking of this, Alvin didn't hesitate any longer and directly aimed at the red dot and pulled the trigger.

In the first section, the magic beam connects the red dot of the tree ball and the relic pistol.

In the second paragraph, space excavation begins!

After an unknown number of years, the reverberation echo was stimulated to the second stage for the first time.

In the blink of an eye, the once ordinary black rectangle quickly separated into two halves, with numerous cyan arcs of electricity emanating from the center until a spiral of light was formed. Initially a flat pattern, the spiral gradually surged forward, transforming into a three-dimensional spiral drill in just a few moments.

The drill began to spin, faster and faster, until it turned into a shadow that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

"Is everything okay?" Fulei couldn't help but ask.

"It should be okay." Alvin was not sure because it was the first time he used this gadget that was commonly found in Titan homes.

Diana silently took two steps back, saying nothing, but this action seemed to say it all. So, Fleur also silently took two steps back, leaving Ivan alone.

...Dalin, you weren't like this before. Have you forgotten the kindness we showed you in the past?

Before the mumbling of nonsense in my mind was completed, the reverberation echo of the writing of "Legacy Pistol" and reading of "Portable Space Boring Device" had completed the construction of the temporary space channel.

The path to the deepest area of ​​'God's Gate - Babelon' is now open.

Chapter 241 Throwing it out the window

"What's inside?" Afrediya asked curiously.

"I'm not sure either." Alvin shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. Just now, he felt that the [Space Boring Machine] extracted a small amount of energy from him after obtaining permission.

Then, the instrument conjured a light-based drill from thin air and, using a spiraling motion, dug a path to the marked location. Ivan noticed that this passage had actually existed for a long time. The Echo Pistol wasn't digging a new path, but rather clearing an old one. If it hadn't been opened for so long, perhaps a single stage of the marking beam would have activated the old path.

At this moment, the entrance to the passage looked like a tree-shaped black crack with no thickness. The eyes could not see through the gap floating in the air, so the situation on the other side could not be seen clearly from this side.

Out of trust in the Titan creation, the three of them passed through the crack one by one and arrived at the other end of the passage.

Immediately, an immense magical machine came into view. It resembled a metal mountain composed of various mechanical structures, occupying two-thirds of the spherical space. Even the metal rhizomes that formed the sphere's exterior were connected to the machine. Countless pipes and cables emanated from its base, entwining to form the spherical shell visible from the outside.

A casual glance revealed that the instrument before him was connected to the uppermost temple of Babylon. Perhaps the ancient empire had initially employed some technology, using the altar on which the amphorae were placed as a medium, to indirectly protect the outermost layer of the tree sphere from the planetary shield. Therefore, this special chamber was inaccessible by ordinary means, and could only be accessed through the spatial tunnel opened by the Echo Pistol.

Wait, under normal circumstances, no one in the Ancient Empire should be able to activate the second stage function of this Titan artifact. Considering the Ancient Empire's reverence for the Ancient God of Wisdom and their calling of the Ancient God of Wisdom the Goddess of Wisdom, they are clearly more familiar with the Ishu Separation than humans in later eras.

The person who had used this tool to dig the passage was most likely Ishtar herself. Therefore, once the initial passage was blocked due to the spatial self-healing properties, the humans of the Ancient Empire were unable to enter the tree ball and continue to maintain the equipment within.

Could it be that this is the reason why the "Dual Star Road" was cut off?

So, don't rely too much on technology that you don't understand.

"This thing is probably the tool used by the ancient empire to build the Binary Star Road." Alvin then added in his mind, 'with the help of the power of the flawless gem.'

"So, we can go home now?" Afrediya immediately perked up.

"Let me take a closer look and you'll know. Most likely there's no problem." As he said that, Alvin walked forward to check the machine.

Behind him, the Demon King's expression suddenly became serious, as if he was thinking about something very important.

It was nice for the two of them to go on a honeymoon, but making their family worry was not what she wanted to see. Besides, there were more than two people in the place now, Afrediya thought with gritted teeth.

Diana looked a little disappointed. After returning to Palladio, she had no reason to stay with Ivan. The silver-haired girl didn't show her disappointment, but just lowered her head slightly until someone suddenly took her hand.

"Diana, would you like to come visit my house later? My palace is quite large." Afrediya's smile was particularly bright, almost as if it were fake. And her words shocked someone who was eavesdropping.

what?

Ivan's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

While the Demon King might appear innocent when skipping work, he's still a typical dragon character underneath, unwilling to share easily. Wait, if we apply the traditional dragon virtues of treating those who 'share' their things as their own, wouldn't that create a nested ownership structure of 'what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine'?

No, it still doesn’t make sense. There must be something wrong.

I need to think about it...

Just as someone was racking his brains, the beautiful girl group on the other side had already completed their offensive and defensive alliance.

The Titan's thoughts were full of wild speculation, but the Demon King's real intentions were simple. Relying solely on the dragon's instinct for wealth, she realized the dire situation, with enemies surrounding her and wolves watching her closely. And relying on the Demon King's political wisdom (perhaps there was such a thing), she discovered the true nature of the silver-haired girl beside her: tough on the outside, but soft on the inside. Furthermore, the girl's appetite was almost nonexistent compared to her own, making her a complete threat. There was no way she could lose!

Therefore, the wise and powerful current Demon King Afrediya decided to first join hands with the weaker party to seize important private time. After building a moat to keep other more difficult guys out of the bedroom door, he would then monopolize the fruits of victory based on seniority and oppress the good.

Perfect, it couldn’t be more perfect, hehehe, hahahaha, I can’t laugh, I can’t laugh now.

"Ahem, by the way, the rooftop garden of this floating city is really nice." Afrediya changed the subject.

"Yeah, yeah." Alvin agreed absentmindedly.

"It's very suitable for bringing children. The lawn is so wide that you can even hold a Blood Bowl competition." His Majesty the Demon King said this while glancing at someone's suddenly stiff back.

"Well, this is the hometown of the Amoli people after all. It is not the act of a righteous person to seize it casually." Alvin said casually, as if he did not hear the implication of the previous words.

"It's okay. You won't be reported for being a dragon occasionally." Afrediya turned her head to look at Diana with a strange expression.

"Little Moon won't report it anyway, right?"

"..." As a paladin of the Temple of Knowledge, even though she was driving a transformable heavy magical mobile weapon, Diana tried hard to keep a straight face. But in the end, she couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl upwards. She finally managed to suppress the arc again.

"Hey, just kidding." Frey immediately patted the silver-haired girl on the back. Of course, she was careful with the strength of her hand.

After all, not every transcendent is like Ai, who, from a low-level level, has a strong body and extremely high resistance, easily becoming a legendary tough king. It's not good to accidentally kill a predetermined ally, well, although I don't particularly enjoy it.

Elsewhere, Ivan had finished inspecting the massive machine before him. While its internal structure was complex, the damage wasn't significant. With his current ability to mold planets like clay, even without removing the outer shell, a few more taps would likely repair the deeper damage.

"Come closer, the teleportation will begin soon." After saying that, Alvin immediately felt two forces of pressure coming from the left and right.

With mixed emotions, the transmission started. With a sense of déjà vu, the three of them easily sensed the familiar breath from Palladia, and then reappeared in the center of the most central and oldest ruins in the City of a Thousand Towers.

Before they could sigh, they heard an angry curse coming from the tower where the High Tower Council was located in the distance.

A petite and cute figure in an intricate cake skirt roared and threw a tall and thin figure in an archmage's robe out through the window.

"Old man, your prophecy spell is totally useless!"

Chapter 242: Stinky Brother

In an unexpected incident, Prince Elrond threw the three archmages of the City of a Thousand Towers out of the window!

Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?

This newspaper will report the next...

Ivan slapped his forehead. Putting aside other aspects of his life after his promotion, his mental activity had definitely reached a new high. He constantly recalled texts he had read long ago, even if he had only glanced at them casually back then. He could easily recall them now.

Just now, he had used his own spatial control abilities to replace the effects of the Flawless Gem - Wind of Fantasy, successfully reopening the Twin Star Road, the teleportation channel connecting the Gate of God, Babelon, and the ancient tower ruins. He then returned to Palladia with Afrediya and Diana. Although there were still some issues to be dealt with on the alien planet Damia, it was necessary to test the route to see if it was passable.

I never thought that I would see such an exciting scene as soon as I returned to Palladia.

Isn't that high school boy in women's clothing who threw someone out of the window my brother-in-law whom I haven't seen in a while? Um, no, considering his age, Ostolfo is probably still in junior high school. It's okay, underage people are beating up old people. Minors are covered by the Small Animal Protection Act. Is that the right name?

While her thoughts continued to race, Frey couldn't ignore the sudden incident of her brother publicly murdering the Archmage of the Thousand Towers City. This could lead to a serious diplomatic conflict. Considering that the other party was a high-level transcendent after all, he would not easily die from a simple jump from a building. Therefore, it was just a diplomatic incident and did not escalate to the level of a military conflict.

However, although the neutral and free city-state of the City of a Thousand Towers has been able to maintain its independence due to Genoa's unique semi-enclosed terrain, its international voice has also maintained a share commensurate with its size.

A single noble family or force may attach particular importance to it, but we can consider it from the perspective of a great power.

If you provoke it, it’s just a provocation.

Afridia has confidence in her brother, especially in his cunning. Ostolfo, who enjoys dressing in women's clothing, is not as cute and innocent as he appears.

With this thought in mind, the Demon King felt reassured as he watched the riddle-talking Archmage, the Riddler, shrieking as he plummeted to the ground. She had hated that old man since school. Incidentally, the central tower of the City of Thousand Towers was incredibly high, and it would likely take several seconds for the opponent to land.

"You don't care?" Ivan looked at Afrediya in surprise.

"Hehe, Ostolfo is Prince Elrond and my Afrediya's biological brother. He has known his identity since he was a child and will definitely not do anything reckless." After saying this, His Majesty the Demon King couldn't help but pause, remembering that his stinky younger brother attached great importance to his family, so he added another sentence.
