Star Forge Titan

That's it? That's it! Do I need to force it? Ivan cursed in his heart at the system, which was just a cold and ruthless attribute panel.

[Super Double Strength] This talent sounds a bit funny, because the physical fitness exceeds 30 points, it successfully completes the high-position substitution.

[Perfect Body] Your body has reached perfection. Life force circulates in your body like the ocean, replenishing itself and never running out.

The curse of the mortal world can hardly cause any harm to you. All injuries except fatal ones will heal in a short time and be repaired quickly.

It seems that the mission of the perfect person really exists, Alvin thought silently.

In addition, the biggest change is that the awakening degree of Titan bloodline has increased from 30% to 35%. Although the amount is not large and the core talents and branch talents have not changed, it is indeed a kind of growth and progress.

After the transformation into the giant form was completed, a large amount of high-density matter was converted into energy and swallowed and absorbed by Ivan, which made him feel a special sense of fullness that was different from his daily meals, and along with it came a sense of growth that was everywhere at every moment.

It is not the growth that can be directly witnessed by the flesh and blood body, such as growing taller or becoming stronger, but a kind of growth that is closer to the essence and even occurs at the soul level.

This made him silent and a little uneasy.

After transforming into the Iron Giant, Ivan was nearly consumed by the desire to fight that emanated from deep within his soul. It was a terrible feeling, as if he had been transformed from a living human into a cold war machine.

Moreover, another discovery also made Alvin frown.

Recalling his previous experiences, when he was in the process of reshaping himself from an energy body composed of blue flames into a flesh and blood body, he discovered that there were two special magical structures in the consciousness space deep in his soul.

To be precise, that kind of power has surpassed magic power and is a special existence that contains a small amount of sublimation power.

The source of the divine power should be the residual divine power that was left on the triptych altar painting long, long ago.

Legend has it that in ancient times, gods had not yet left the material world, and they would even transform into human appearance and walk in the mortal realm.

Through observation, Alvin discovered that the golden sphere should be the divine gift given by Odin when he made the covenant, or in other words, divine grace.

While its structure was so complex it surpassed the limits of current magical technology, it was essentially a special magical device attached to the eyeball. However, unlike other equipment, this one lacked a physical form, existing instead as pure energy.

After a little thought, Alvin didn't do anything unnecessary.

He didn't know a person named Odin, let alone a god named Odin, but speaking objectively, the other party's actions so far showed kindness towards himself and Elrond.

If a stranger offers you his hand, it is far braver to shake it than to draw your sword.

Because that shows that you have the courage, mind and strength to withstand at least one betrayal.

Therefore, Alvin is willing to treat the other party with trust first.

But the other halo emitting silver-white light surprised him very much.

Alvin didn't remember receiving the second divine grace, but judging from its structure and power characteristics, this existence was indeed very similar to the divine grace.

When Alvin tried to touch the silver ring with his consciousness, an extremely familiar voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

"Welcome back, Omega-class warrior, sword of the empire, hunter of worlds, destroyer..."

That flat electronic sound was undoubtedly the tone of the system prompt!

But before he could do anything, he began to rapidly leave the space of consciousness due to the self-propelled progress of the reshaping process.

In the end, in that silver halo, the boy only saw a familiar pattern - an Ouroboros that was circling and devouring itself.

Memories related to it suddenly emerged.

"Ancient God of Wisdom?!"

Chapter 85: God of Wisdom

The silver Ouroboros is one of the symbols of the God of Wisdom, and it is also the most secretive symbol.

The God of Wisdom is an ancient deity worshipped by the Temple of Knowledge. The emblem the temple usually uses is mostly an open book.

His Majesty is one of the longest-lived gods in Palladio, and one of the very few ancient gods who still responds to the prayers of living beings, or in other words, the ancient god.

It is said that long before the gods came to this world on the Ancient Whale of Iron, He was the keeper of all knowledge. All documents recording knowledge and information were properly stored in a special form called 'Light of Wisdom' within His huge crystal body, which was as big as a mountain.

Whenever the God of Wisdom begins to think, his crystal clear body will emit a bright and dazzling light like the blazing sun in the sky.

No mortal can look directly into his thoughts with his naked eyes, otherwise his eyes will be blinded and he will fall into darkness separated from wisdom.

Because of this legend, most temples of knowledge in the material world are built in the form of libraries.

According to legend, even their headquarters, the Great Temple, is a gigantic library that contains all knowledge from the past millennia, its size far beyond human imagination.

However, over the years, no outsider has ever actually seen the library.

Before the invention of printing and cheap wood-made paper by the Lind alchemist, books were very expensive and took a long time to produce, so the number of Temples of Knowledge was much smaller than that of other temples.

However, the group of believers in the God of Wisdom, who were more scholars than priests, did not care about this.

Incidentally, since most temples are built as libraries, the Temple of Knowledge considers cats to be noble sacred animals. These adorable and graceful creatures are extremely effective in killing rats, a major culprit in destroying books.

In other words, cats' behavior can directly protect books, so they are loved and respected by the vast majority of priests in the Temple of Knowledge. They will even take the initiative to salute cats they meet on the road.

In addition to raising cats and sheltering and managing forbidden knowledge, the priests of the Temple of Knowledge who believe in the God of Wisdom mostly focus on the collection and preservation of various types of knowledge in their area, mainly unfamiliar knowledge.

By the way, knowledge popularization and basic cultural education will also be provided to the people living in the surrounding area.

Furthermore, noble families would often hire priests from the Temple of Knowledge as tutors, as almost all of the top scholars would join the Temple of Knowledge, or at least have a nominal membership there.

To sum up, all countries have a relatively friendly attitude towards the Temple of Knowledge.

As for income, in addition to the annual offerings from various countries and donations from believers, the temples in the world of Palladia all have their own stable sources of income.

The Temple of Storms earns income to maintain the temple by opening up new areas and sailing on the ocean, while the Temple of Knowledge earns income by teaching the children of the nobility and excavating ancient ruins.

Of course, for players, the most interesting thing is the group of white-haired, red-eyed paladins in the Church of the God of Wisdom.

Although the Temple of Knowledge did not actively explain it, some of the truth can still be learned through the subsequent game plot.

It turns out that those white-haired paladins who look beautiful but are almost indistinguishable from each other and who do not age for decades are actually artificial humans created using ultimate alchemy - Hormancules.

Compared to the widely known Alchemist Association, the Temple of Knowledge that believes in the God of Wisdom is the institution that masters the most advanced alchemy.

However, most of their research was aimed at pursuing the ultimate in alchemy and the truth, so it was mostly advanced theory rather than practical application.

In the subsequent version of the Thousand Towers Rebellion, the true meaning of the Temple of Knowledge became known to everyone.

That is the Central Library that they have kept secret for thousands of years.

The reason why no outsider has actually found its existence for many years is probably because the Central Library is actually built on an empty island that is as big as an island in the ocean!

This is a mobile library floating in the air!

Recalling the magnificent scene of the Central Library breaking through the clouds and descending, Alvin couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he became more and more curious about why the system that came to the real Palladia world with him had the secret emblem of the God of Wisdom.

However, before Ivan successfully ascended to the third level and truly stimulated the power of his soul, he could not actively send his consciousness into the ritual space hidden deep within his soul, and thus could not confirm the existence of the Ouroboros emblem again and conduct research on it.

In fact, if it weren't for that ray of light that traveled through time and space, Alvin would not be aware of the relationship between the system and the God of Wisdom, nor would he be able to activate the giant god form before his bloodline was fully awakened.

"In other words, we can only wait and see?" Alvin whispered to himself.

"Wait and see? Wait and see what?" Afrediya asked curiously.

"Nothing..." Alvin paused, then let out a long sigh.

"For some reason, I discovered that my past might be related to the God of Wisdom." Considering the trust Afrediya showed in him, he did not intend to find an excuse to deceive her.

Of course, Alvin could also choose to remain silent.

But after finally having a new beginning, he wanted to live more authentically, or in other words, more frankly.

"The God of Wisdom..." Afrediya's expression was particularly shocked, because she noticed that what the black-haired boy in front of her was talking about was related to the God of Wisdom rather than the Temple of Knowledge.

Although the latter cannot be ignored as a temple force, the former is a true god!

After a while, she took a breath again.

"Huh, what's going on? You always scare people." The red-haired girl puffed up her cheeks and raised her hand to nudge Ivan, but she was not really angry. Otherwise, this elbow that could break an ordinary person's ribs would become an elbow that could penetrate a wall.

"Well, would you like to tell me what happened in detail?" Fleur leaned on the chair with both hands, turned her head and looked at him with a curious look.

Feeling the other person's breath approaching, Alvin's expression changed slightly. After a light cough as a crude cover-up, he was ready to tell his secret.

"I come from a wilderness tribe living on the ice field." As soon as he finished speaking, the black-haired boy saw the red-haired girl looking at him sideways with a look that said, 'We are so familiar with each other, who are you kidding?'

"Listen to me." Alvin held his forehead helplessly. At first glance, this seemed to be very inconsistent with the current situation, but it was actually the truth.

"The key is that we inherit blood that comes directly from the Titans."

Before he could finish his words, Fulei beside him stood up suddenly with her eyes wide open.

Boom! The red-haired girl's curly horns, which had grown longer due to the activation of dragon blood, poked two holes in the carriage roof.

The carriage was instantly silent, and the scene fell into a mysterious awkward situation...

Chapter 86: The Future is Worrying

"Oh!"

Afrediya cried out softly and quickly pulled the horn out of the wood. Then she took out a small round mirror she always carried with her to check carefully for any scratches.

No, miss, are you kidding? That's a dragon horn! It can poke through steel plates without any problem.

It's just a piece of wood, there's no way it could leave any marks, right?

Besides, weren't you almost jumping up in surprise just now? Why are you worrying about whether there are any scratches on the corners as soon as you turn your head?

Despite his internal complaints, Ivan actually felt more relaxed than before. He had expected a bigger reaction from the other party. However, it seemed that Fulei's feelings towards him would not change fundamentally because of this incident.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have cared about whether her manicure had any scratches like modern girls do, or whether the white curls with a slight golden hue at the base had any scratches on the surface due to the impact just now.

Because of the noise just now, the accompanying silver knight couldn't help but approach the carriage and asked in a low voice if there was anything wrong?

"It's okay, just some minor accidents." Afrediya said with forced calmness.

"Nothing happened." Alvin also echoed.

The Silver Knight nodded and rode his horse back to the formation, but the glances he exchanged with his comrades were a little strange, and they both showed each other a knowing smile.

"I must admit, this did scare me a little." Afrediya took several deep breaths, and after a considerable ups and downs, she lowered her voice and spoke.

At the same time, the red-haired girl stared at Ivan with wide eyes, as if she wanted to see some Titan-related characteristics from him.

But apart from being tall and strong, and looking more handsome and more capable of fighting than most young men, there seems to be no difference.

"Although I have some guesses about what happened before, the Titans... those giant gods who tuned and shaped the entire world when everything was in chaos, this is really beyond the imagination of mortals." Afrediya raised her hand and cast a spell to block out the sound.

Although the royal carriage itself has similar functions, the red-haired girl still cast the relevant spell herself for the sake of confidentiality.

"Before me, no one in our tribe had ever awakened the blood of the Titans, so everyone just thought it was a legend left by their ancestors, or to put it more simply... bragging." Alvin shrugged with a somewhat melancholy tone.

After obtaining more relevant memories of this body, he knew more and more old stories, and his emotions towards the people in those memories became more complicated.

Before, although Alvin was willing to avenge the original owner and his tribe, it was more out of gratitude or a sense of responsibility.

But now, certain emotions that did not belong to him but were hard to dispel secretly flowed in his heart. Along with them, there was also an extremely strong curiosity and a desire to know the truth behind the massacre.

Who sent the white dragon? And why would it have the killing intent to attack a tribe that has lived in seclusion on the icy plains for a thousand years?

If he doesn't figure this out, it won't matter how much power and happiness he gains.

"In other words, you became an Iron Giant because of the blood of the Titans?" Afrediya curiously poked Ivan's chest muscles with her slender white fingers, as if trying to find something extraordinary.

Ivan looked a little embarrassed, but there was no place for him to retreat in the narrow carriage, so he had to try to change the subject back to the main topic.

"Ah, that's more or less the case, but it's more due to the power brought from the future by the Crown of Time. That ray of light directly activated the hidden power in the Titan bloodline, allowing me to awaken the ability to become an Iron Giant ahead of time."

"Actually, it's not necessarily all the power of the Crown of Time." Frey hesitated to speak. Considering the possible impact of future information, she didn't say much but gestured for Ivan to continue.

"In short, although I have awakened the corresponding abilities now, to complete that level of super-transformation, I need at least 570,000 standard units of magic reserves to complete the first stage of ability activation. This is not something a first-level barbarian can do." At this point, even Alvin himself laughed.

Even if a massive amount of magic power is required to fully activate the giant god form, it is a power far beyond the reach of ordinary extraordinary people. Even if an ordinary fourth-level extraordinary person brings a full set of equipment or is equipped with a corresponding fourth-level battle group, there is no 100% guarantee that he can defeat himself in that state.

It’s only been a short while since I traveled through time, but the reassuring power has become stronger again!

But then again, the extraordinary profession has become his weakest strength, and he really needs to find a suitable second-level profession to advance.

Otherwise, even if the attributes continue to increase, the essence of life has not been fully sublimated, which will still limit progress in all aspects. For example, many extraordinary combat skills require a certain level of realm to learn.

"Five hundred and seventy thousand...ah." Afrediya calculated secretly and couldn't help but feel even more surprised.

Even if an ordinary wizard burns himself and his soul as firewood, he may not be able to provide even a fraction of that amount of magic power.

Only by connecting multiple large magic tower cores or legion-type magic furnaces in series and operating them at overload without regard for the consequences can the conditions be met.

The former and the latter mostly come from the excavation of ancient ruins. They are very difficult to imitate with existing technological capabilities and are basically the most critical strategic items for each force.
