Star Forge Titan

Ivan was no stranger to this. In the game, when he came into contact with the fragments of a powerful being, he would read the residual memory images in the other person's consciousness. It was like a dream for him, he could only watch but not be affected.

Without hesitation, Alvin reached out and touched the trembling human silhouette.

The next moment, distant memories from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago emerged before his eyes.

The northern ice field, no, at that unknown point in time, even the northern permafrost that had been frozen for thousands of years had melted, and this place had turned into a scorched earth.

High in the sky floated a turbulent and distorted radiation like the aurora. Alvin recognized it as the residual trace left after the release of the "Level 1 Absolutely Forbidden Magic".

Moreover, the scale of the turbulent radiation in this scene was a thousand times greater than what he remembered! This proved that forbidden magic of the same level or even higher had been completely abused.

A twisting, iridescent glow almost completely filled the sky above Palladia, creating the feeling of being transported to another, alien world. In the distance, on the seemingly endless horizon, one could vaguely see a dazzling fire, like a terrestrial sun, illuminating the sky, and countless mushroom-shaped clouds, some large and some small, rising from the ground.

Even though they were at a very long distance, the scorching breath from the explosion still turned into a gust of hot wind that blew towards them.

Fortunately, there was a rather large figure that blocked this hellish wind that was powerful enough to turn flesh and blood into charcoal.

Alvin looked up at the tall figure that looked like a moving mountain and was big enough to cover the sky, and found that the other party was a giant with dark blue skin and was over hundreds of meters tall. Mortals standing at his feet were as small as ants.

But one of the giant's arms was unexpectedly torn off by something, and in its place was a crystal arm made entirely of solid white ice and gray-white permafrost. Although made of ice, this crystal-like arm could bend and flex as flexibly as a normal arm.

Although seriously injured, the giant still held a long-handled battle axe that matched his size tightly, with the other end of the handle with a spear tip deeply embedded in the ground, allowing him to stabilize his body.

The reason why he needed the help of weapons to stand firm was because one of the giant's legs was bitten off at the knee. From the jagged wound, streams of cold air could be seen overflowing, turning into ice to forcibly seal the broken part.

"Master, please leave immediately. I, Frostland Arcade, will fulfill my final duty in this life."

There was a voice like thunder above my head, and it seemed to come from above the clouds.

Frost Permafrost Arcade, this name is not unfamiliar to Alvin, because there is a set of high-level equipment named after this giant. The huge armor can emit endless cold air and can even temporarily turn the area into frozen land.

Then he quickly understood why the equipment that could create permafrost was named after the giant.

Arkad stamped his foot heavily, causing the ground to tremble violently. He used some kind of power beyond magic, and snow-covered mountains rose from the ground, forming two difficult-to-cross natural barriers on the left and right of the giant.

That's it!

Alvin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were only a few natural paths suitable for walking from the northern ice field to the commercial city of Flanders.

It turns out that the mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles and is extremely neat in height is actually a powerful terrain created by humans a long time ago!

"Arcade, this will bind your soul here as well." A strange female voice came from behind.

Alvin looked back and saw that the other person was wearing a large white fur cloak. She was no taller than an ordinary person, even shorter than an ordinary northerner. The hood covered her appearance, and only a strand of black hair, which was not common in the countries on the continent today, floated outside the edge of the hood.

Coincidentally, he now also has black hair, which is not common.

"No regrets." Arcade said firmly.

"Ever since I was given the blood of King Ymir of Winter a thousand years ago and transformed into the second generation of giants with a mortal body, I have been prepared to die on the battlefield." As he said this, the giant who had lost one leg stood up tremblingly, leaning against the mountain.

Rolling stones fell from his hands, which had been supporting the mountain. The broken limbs froze into icicles, driving them firmly into the ground. A large amount of white mist enveloped the giant's body, freezing onto his surface into a heavy armor of ice several dozen meters thick.

"I only wish that the Uranus civilization will continue, the Sky Dynasty will last forever, and the glory of mankind will be immortal!"

Arcade, clad in heavy ice armor, roared to the sky, his tired but incomparably heroic voice sending out a roar that resounded throughout the world.

"Then, I also promise here that even if the sun goes out and the world falls into eternal darkness, after a long time, there will be a descendant of my people who inherits the soul of King Uranus who will come to grant you... the final mercy." The female voice said softly, but Arcade had obviously heard it.

"Hahaha, in this way, I can die without any worries!"

As he spoke, the giant pulled out the long-handled battle axe that was stuck in the ground and laughed heartily at the black waves slowly rising on the distant horizon.

The black wave surged towards this side at a speed far exceeding that of a galloping horse. Ivan's sharp eyes quickly saw the essence of the wave. To his horror, it was a large group of terrifying monsters with indescribable shapes.

Each of them has a size close to that of an apocalyptic-level undead colossus, and the magical pressure emanating from them is extremely violent, like the physical embodiment of concepts such as chaos and distortion.

Faced with this strange tide that seemed to be able to swallow up the mountains and the sea, Arkad grasped the long-handled battle axe with both hands and swung it horizontally through the air.

The airflow turned into a whirlwind on the spot. At this moment, the magic power surging in the giant warrior's body even far exceeded the limit that the core of the large wizard tower could provide.

From left to right, dazzling flashes erupted one after another from the distant waves of strange monsters. Countless monsters exploded on the spot, and all the liquid in their bodies turned into red ice cones that shot out in all directions, piercing through and killing more monsters.

This is the power of a true giant...

Ivan couldn't help but be surprised. Although there were giant characters in the game, the bloodlines in their bodies were mostly separated from the source of the Twin Giant Kings by countless generations. So when the pure second-generation giants showed their full strength, even a knowledgeable player like him was quite shocked.

The ability to create mountains out of thin air and kill countless powerful enemies from a distance of thousands of meters requires full concentration even for a current fifth-level transcendent. However, Akkad, who was seriously injured and lost a hand and a foot, completed the terrain transformation in the blink of an eye and used the latter continuously as a normal attack.

The battle axe, shining with immortal light, cut through the atmosphere and tore the earth apart, like a high-speed rotating flesh and blood grinding wheel, cutting the countless monsters caught in it into fragments that could never be restored.

The monsters' attacks penetrated the heavy ice armor, which was tens of meters thick at its thickest point. Even the armor, imbued with the magic of freezing and stasis, could not fully protect Arcade's body. Soon, the giant was covered in blood.

The battles between giants and monsters were beyond the imagination of mortals. They did not seem like two warriors, two armies, or two forces fighting each other.

It was like two natural disasters, like a super blizzard and a world-destroying tsunami colliding and fighting each other!

Even the world will tremble...

If Alvin didn't know that he was just reading a memory, he might have been so excited that he could hardly control himself. Such a powerful force is the power that can truly change the world!

However, if the giants are so powerful, how powerful should the Titans, their masters, be?

In this way, Alvin seemed to understand why the Star Forge Titan in the game, after entering the third stage of the plot, was able to treat them, the giant pilots nicknamed Gundam pilots by other players, as small fry and attack them in droves.

I still remember that everyone was complaining that when they were doing dungeons, they felt like they were not Gundam pilots at all. They were just ordinary-looking trash driving a Zaku or even a Guntank or Guncannon. On the other hand, the opponent was the White Devil Amuro driving the Bull Gundam or the Stick King Kishen driving the Strike Freedom.

Now it seems that the other party has clearly focused more of their energy on the Machine Realm Sublimation Ceremony, otherwise...

Hey, I suddenly feel inexplicably happy!

Without any symptoms, distracted Ivan felt someone appear behind him.

He quickly turned around and saw a black-haired woman in a white cloak standing there quietly.

Whether it was a violent storm, gravel, or ice, anything in her surroundings would automatically transform into harmless air and fine sand as soon as it came within a certain range of her. It was as if an invisible barrier separated the woman's location from the outside world into two completely different worlds.

The strange black-haired woman raised her hand and gently stroked Ivan's cheek. The inexplicable sense of familiarity made the young man not resist her action.

Afterwards, some knowledge related to inheritance automatically emerged in his mind like an existing memory.

At the same time, Ivan also heard the woman whisper to him across countless time:

"My beloved son, do not forget your promise."

Chapter 89 Lin De's Envoy

Unbelievable! Incomprehensible!

Are all you Titans so excessive?

Last time, he punched directly across the long river of time, but this time he actually sent information directly to the future that was separated by a long time.

The illusion constructed by memory slowly calmed down, but Alvin discovered that the information in his mind was real and accurate.

He couldn't imagine how she had managed this. But the reality was that, across thousands of years, the strange black-haired woman had brought the special Titan advancement ritual to his mind.

In the consciousness, four colorful lights flashing with elemental power combined with each other to become an incomparably brilliant white light, and finally gave birth to a shining soul as dazzling as a star.

From it, Alvin gained knowledge about a certain ritual.

The foundation of the original world, through which one can obtain soul power that is even further than the star soul fusion during bloodline awakening.

The ritual process uses the four elemental powers plus the holder's own soul power as the core to transform the body and soul into a solid foundation that can carry the power of sublimation.

As the ritual progresses to the later stages, the core power of the King Soul of Uranus will be awakened. This is a soul power that is similar to but not exactly the same as the power of the transcendent soul.

Therefore, this path of sublimation is also called the path of king selection.

This ancient path of sublimation is completely different from the current system of extraordinary people. Even though Alvin has just stepped onto the starting entrance of the road, by referring to the scenes in Akkad's memory, he can foresee how magnificent the future scenery of this road will be.

Analyzing with the knowledge he currently possesses, the light that previously crossed the barriers of time and space and allowed him to awaken into the giant god form was essentially a ray of power of the king's soul that had been sublimated many times.

So, now there are two paths in front of the boy.

One is to continue advancing along the existing path of extraordinary people. With his talent and rich experience accumulated in the past, he can achieve the fifth level within ten years at a speed that other extraordinary people can hardly imagine, and successfully enter the realm of perfect people.

There are almost no obstacles on this road, and the only risks you need to face are the various tests during the promotion ceremony.

Whether it is the awakening of the soul when breaking through the low level to enter the high level, or the assimilation erosion reaction when continuing to advance to the high level, these are challenges that all extraordinary people must face.

The other is to embark on this unimaginable path, moving towards the pinnacle of the ancient Uranus civilization's Sky Dynasty, purifying one's own blood concentration until becoming a true Titan, and completing the ritual process step by step until the soul of the King of Uranus is awakened.

This is an unfamiliar road. Perhaps because of the long time that has passed, the information provided by the black-haired woman is incomplete.

Only the first half of the ceremony, which uses four flawless gems (Alvin:?) as an introduction, is held to draw deep elemental power to awaken complete talent. In fact, seeing this, Alvin already felt his liver tremble.

The next steps were unclear, but she left a coordinate at the end of the message, a coordinate that was quite familiar to Alvin.

The ruins of the Northern Giant Kingdom are located at the location shown by those coordinates.

This reminded him of the name he had seen on the broken stone monument in the center of the ruins during that mission.

The first queen of the Giant Kingdom, the Eye of Prophecy, Ishtarli.

According to legend, he is the direct descendant of the Titan Emperor's bloodline.

If that black-haired woman was the first queen who established the Northern Giant Kingdom, then it is not impossible that she left a message to her future self across such a long time.

After all, that is the power of prophecy, a power that is extremely rare in the magical world of Palladia with extraordinary powers.

At present, the opponent's true purpose is still unknown, but the power of Titan has already revealed a corner of him.

In this regard, Alvin’s choice is of course... I want them all.

This is not greed, but a choice made after weighing the pros and cons.

With his familiarity with the current system of extraordinary people, he discovered that the current path and the path of the King's Selection were actually not two absolutely conflicting paths.

In the game, in addition to the various new professions that were born and developed within a thousand years before and after the rise of the nations, there are also many older professions to choose from in the Path of the Extraordinary.

Most of those professions have relatively simple but pure abilities. Apart from that, their impact on the body and soul of the employees themselves is much smaller than that of the new extraordinary professions.

Unlike many modern career sequences, it does not drastically change the life essence of the employee after entering a higher level.

In other words, he can completely take the Path of King Selection as the main body and the Path of Transcendence as the auxiliary, and finally achieve the possibility of combining the strengths of both, or even forging his own path.

Of course, that's all in the future.

Right now, Alvin still has a promise to fulfill.

If the deceased was a transcendental being during his lifetime, then if the bones left behind after his death are not purified in time, the remaining magic power will be converted into an equal amount of negative energy.

At this moment, the giant skeleton was emitting a constant stream of negative energy. For some reason, the School of Undead was unable to stimulate this power and could only use it as the main dragon bone.

But right now, powerful negative energy was surging wildly within the range of the protective barrier like a tide.

Alarms rang out in the underground mage tower, and sharp sounds were heard continuously. Fully armed combat mages rushed into the core laboratory from all directions, but were shocked by the scene before them.

"what is that?"

"It seems to be... a fragment of a powerful being? A remnant soul lingering in the world! Oh my god, that is the remnant of will that can only be left behind by a fifth-level perfect being."

"No wonder this giant skeleton emits such intense negative energy. If it were to leak out, this power would be enough to turn one-third of the capital, Avonmore, into a dead zone!"

The mages were talking in low voices with nervous expressions, while the black-haired boy wearing a mithril mask walked alone towards the ocean of negative energy.

Under the shocked gazes of others, the deep purple negative energy that seemed as boundless as the sea automatically separated to both sides in front of him, making way for a path leading to the giant's skeleton.

Alvin walked along the spine one section at a time, and finally stopped at the bone where the first thoracic vertebra and the cervical vertebra meet.

Behind him, the human silhouette with white tears in his eyes had turned into countless fragments and scattered in the air, but his soul was still bound by the skeleton.

"Thank you for your hard work, Arcade."

The black-haired boy held down the piece of bone that was emitting a silver luster. The original magic power in his body began to be consumed at an extremely fast speed. A dark golden light lit up, and the originally indestructible giant bone began to glow red like heated metal.

The molten iron dripped down, and sweat kept rolling down Ivan's forehead.

The huge consumption of magic power made him feel a little dizzy, but his hands did not stop moving.

He felt sorry for Arkad, but also admired his flawless glory, and even more so his willingness to sacrifice his life for his beliefs.

Moreover, if his tribe truly inherited the bloodline of Ishtarli, then Akkad's kindness would be a gift that spanned a long time, for which he could not help but express his sincere gratitude.

"A loyal... man, a good man! He deserves... a better... ending!" Alvin growled and exerted force with both hands at the same time.

A dazzling golden light flashed in the boy's eyes, and the power of [Reshaping the World] was completely awakened. He forcibly melted a gap in the giant's spine, which was completely closed as one.

Inside this skeleton that looked like the keel of a large ship, there was a skeleton the size of an ordinary human lying quietly.

It turns out that real giants are not like the giants that remain today, with huge bodies that exceed natural limitations. Their bodies are usually not much different from ordinary people.

Only in battle will it enter the huge body created by combining magic cultivation technology with its own strength, and then merge with it 100% to become a complete giant warrior.

However, after stimulating the power of the giant beyond his limit, Arcade's body and even his soul were completely trapped in the giant's body created by his own power.
