Chapter 649: Fallen Titan
Although it was unknown whether this external Cage was set up by the Life Titans from the very beginning.
Or if because some unexpected situations occurred after experiencing a long period of time, it enveloped the Titan Sanctuary when it materialized.
No one knew the answer to all of this.
The explosive radiance all around gradually disappeared. The Advanced Stage lifeforms belonging to the Star Glory Empire had already flown out from the fleets, standing tall in the Starry Sky, exuding their own might.
They didn't intercept those escaping Advanced Stage lifeforms, merely expressing their existence to them.
This was enough to make them restrain their tyrannical emotions and cause as little damage as possible.
Ted, the supreme commander of the Four-Armed Titan Legion, was currently watching this battlefield together with his good friend with whom he shared a love-hate relationship, the Troll Legion Commander——Raymond.
Ever since they failed to fight for the Dimensional Ship in the No Man's Land last time, they hadn't been active on the interstellar battlefield for a long time.
They had been constantly Recharging and Recuperating. The Troll Legion in particular, having directly lost two-thirds of its Strength in the Reformers' ambush, still hadn't completely recovered even now.
"And that Two-Headed Troll should be your ancestor, right? It's said that he also possessed Energy manipulation abilities beyond imagination, while you guys seem to focus on the Physical body now."
Raymond slowly nodded: "There is indeed this legend in the Tribe, but that seems more like a mutation produced by Evolution."
Ted's projection denied: "I don't think so. Take the Siren for example, rumored to be the ancestor of Mermaids and Fish-Persons. A single look could make powerful lifeforms Willingly become her food."
"Look at the current Mermaids and Fish-Persons. They have already lost that powerful ability; it's clearly a kind of devolution."
"Let's not think about this so much. Let's deal with the situation at hand first. The vast majority of lifeforms that scrambled out from the Titan Sanctuary have already escaped from here, but those top-tier existences temporarily haven't left, seeming to be waiting and watching."
Raymond frowned. The Star Glory Empire fleets present had already connected internally, and all information was shared.
They could observe the situation in the entire battlefield.
"Something's wrong, look over there, there's still something!" Ted suddenly shouted in shock, pointing an arm towards the direction where the Titan Sanctuary was.
After the external Cage of the Titan Sanctuary shattered, a massive number of lifeforms escaped, yet left behind a massive cloud of mist.
They looked over. The air mass was like a static mountain range of clouds and mist, quietly stretching across before their eyes.
And inside the air mass, in the deepest and darkest depths, continuous flashes of light could be seen, illuminating the uneven broad valleys and rifts inside the air mass like veins.
Then, countless massive dark shadows abruptly appeared in the Starry Sky.
The warships relatively close by, enveloped by these shadows, trembled like an unstable video image.
Those warships seemed to turn into phantoms and were dissipating.
This was an unimaginable scene. After all, those warships were Entity warships assembled through various forging procedures.
However, right now, they were losing their reliance in the Universe under the Influence of an external force.
Those massive dark shadows didn't last too long, as if they merely stretched their bodies, and then quickly condensed.
The radiantly brilliant Titan Sanctuary was then completely revealed.
But everyone's gaze was attracted by the black dot in front of the sanctuary doors.
The reason it was called a black dot was only because the sanctuary doors were too massive.
In reality, after layers of magnification, everyone present could clearly see that it was actually a pitch-black humanoid object.
Its exterior resembled an interstellar human, its back facing everyone, facing the sanctuary doors.
"That's..." Lyman's eyes widened, subconsciously clenching his fists.
Morgan's eyes flickered, not saying a word.
"He indeed hasn't died..." Andrei stood tall by the porthole, staring fixedly at that figure.
Li Yu, however, felt a baffling sense of familiarity from the other party.
"This feeling..." He clutched his chest, his expression changing slightly: "Is... a Titan?"
This thought startled him terribly. There was actually still a living Titan now?
Looking at his skin color, was it a Destruction Titan?
Why would he be imprisoned in a Cage by the Life Titans?
And wasn't killed by the Annihilation Device?
A blindingly bright radiance illuminated the entire Cosmic Space. That Titan seemed to touch the sanctuary doors, and then he was sent flying backwards.
Wherever he passed, space gradually distorted, and the distant and dim Starlight propagated along the distorted path.
And the path he flew backwards along looked as if a bizarre column of mercury had appeared in space.
They looked very beautiful, but they were actually omens of space being on the verge of shattering. However, right now, no one cared about this anymore.
"Fallen Titan, still not completely dead!?" Someone's Mental Fluctuation was propagating, seeming to be looking for a Prison Mate to communicate.
"This kind of madman doesn't die that easily." Another unknown person answered.
"Fallen Titan, there's this Titan Tribe?" Li Yu pondered silently but didn't get an answer.
Among all the information he had collected regarding the Titan Civilization, there was no mention of this so-called Fallen Titan name.
"It's actually a Fallen Titan?" Morgan was somewhat surprised, having more or less figured out the other party's origin.
"What is a Fallen Titan?" Lyman inquired. Even he hadn't heard of this Titan race.
"The Fallen Titan isn't a Titan Tribe, but a specialty product of the Life Titan race." Morgan explained:
"Life Titans love creating new races. They would add Titan Genes to those races, endowing them with various powerful abilities."
"And there are some more insane Life Titans who would inject the Genes of foreign races into their own bodies."
"Injecting into their own bodies?" Lyman was somewhat surprised. The strength of a Titan's Genes was beyond doubt; they didn't need foreign Genes to strengthen themselves.
This kind of behavior might even cause their own Genes to undergo a mutation.
"Yes. The Titans consider themselves supreme. Injecting foreign Genes into their own bodies is a naked blasphemy. Even Life Titans, known for their insanity, couldn't tolerate this kind of behavior."
"A Titan who conducts this kind of experiment and succeeds is called--a Fallen Titan." Morgan stared at that black shadow.
"The Fallen Titan has already been stripped of The Name of Titan, but according to the information we collected, throughout the entire history of the Titan Civilization, Fallen Titans were extremely rare."
Morgan then added a sentence in his heart:Perhaps this is also the reason he was able to survive.
As the Fallen Titan was sent flying backwards, his entire image became increasingly clear.
His height was fully a thousand meters, his skin incomparably pitch-black, with some dark red patterns on the surface. His pupils were crimson, seeming to be mixed with extremely deep madness and tyranny.
"This is... how many years later..." He looked around, his gaze sweeping past the warships all around.
"The Titans seem to have all died out. This is truly... wonderful..."
He seemed somewhat abnormal, but if he was a normal Titan, who would be willing to become a Fallen Titan?
This abnormality, for him, perhaps he was the normal one.
"This sanctuary, when you guys were alive, I couldn't enter. Now that you're dead, can I still not enter?"
Tyrannical Mental Fluctuations swept across the entire scene like ocean waves. A massive number of Imperial Soldiers wailed and knelt on the ground, layers of shadows surfacing before their eyes, and blood flowing out from their eyes and noses.
The Mental Defense Systems on the warships actually didn't play the slightest role, just like decorations.
"The fleets here, I don't know who you are, but to have the qualifications to excavate the Titan Sanctuary, you must be very formidable."
Another voice entered Lyman's ears.
"I'm telling you, this guy is a madman. Back then, he caused massive trauma to the Titan Civilization."
"However, he's heavily injured right now and hasn't recovered yet. I advise you, if you have the ability, kill him as quickly as possible. Otherwise, when he recovers, in an era without Titans, everyone will be doomed."
Hearing this, Lyman's expression instantly changed, subconsciously looking at Morgan.
Morgan merely frowned slightly, without much emotional fluctuation: "This is the Star Glory Empire. We are excavating the Titan Sanctuary and do not wish to make enemies of everyone, so everyone please leave first."
It was impossible for Morgan to confront this Fallen Titan over a sentence or two.
The most urgent task right now was the Life Titan Sanctuary!
"What Bullshit Star Glory Empire, really treating yourself as a character. Believe it or not, just wait..." Before the person in the dark finished speaking, he suddenly paused.
"So it's you, little snake snake. Why have you become so uncute?"
The Fallen Titan had vanished from his original spot at some unknown point. Dense Black Mist instantly expanded, and he created a bolt of lightning even more magnificent than a Main Cannon.
This terrifying attack completely tore apart the already verge-of-collapse Cosmic Space, causing a massive number of nearby warships to explode as a result.
A thick, giant snake let out a wail, leaving behind a massive amount of scales and blood on the spot, but its main body had already disappeared.
"He's really heavily injured. It seems that even if he survived, he's not living very well." Through this attack, Morgan instantly estimated the other party's current condition.
If the other party was in their peak state, it would be impossible not to be able to kill that giant snake.
And at the same time, those prisoners who hadn't left and were watching the show on the spot also began to evacuate.
The reason they stayed here before seemed to just be to confirm whether the Fallen Titan was dead or not.
The long career of imprisonment meant their Strength wasn't in its peak period. Continuing to stay here might very well cause their hard-won freedom to dissipate again.
"It seems that after this incident, the Interstellar is going to fall into chaos." Li Yu looked at those evacuating Advanced Stage lifeforms.
The number of prisoners who had just escaped from the Cage, he roughly estimated, was no less than five hundred.
Among them, there were also around ten A5 Level lifeforms.
The rest were some lower-level lifeforms, but to be able to be imprisoned by the Life Titans, they definitely had some uniqueness in certain aspects.
In this weak Interstellar Society, the lethality they erupted with would probably be extremely astonishing.
When the time came, they might also cause him some trouble.
Pondering for a moment, he placed his gaze on the situation before him again.
The current situation was somewhat different from what he expected. He didn't expect there to actually be a Titan hidden inside.
He didn't know the situation of this Titan, but based on the few words he just heard, he could basically be certain that this guy was definitely a Super Lifeform.
But due to certain reasons, perhaps the Impact of the Annihilation Device, it caused him to be heavily injured. His current Strength should be greatly weakened.
However, this guy wasn't like those prisoners; he wouldn't easily give up the Titan Sanctuary, which was just right to attract the attention of the Star Glory Empire.
And he... Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, placing his gaze on an Advanced Stage lifeform with a powerful Aura in the distance.
"Lord of the Ark... you can't just not do what you promised others, right."
………
"Andrei, do you know this guy?" The Lord of the Ark looked at Andrei beside him.
After this period of close contact, he had already discovered this guy's abnormality.
He didn't seem like a lifeform without memories at all, but rather like he was using their hands to accomplish his own goals.
But Andrei's Strength had currently recovered to a certain extent. Under the circumstances where he didn't want to fight him head-on, he could only pretend to know nothing.
Andrei didn't answer this question normally, merely saying: "He won't give up the Titan Sanctuary and will clash head-on with the Star Glory Empire. This is our chance."
"Chance?" The Lord of the Ark frowned slightly: "Snatch Food From A Tiger's Mouth from the Star Glory Empire?"
"Leader, I don't think this is a very good choice." Codri's voice rang out, "We have already reached a cooperation with the Star Glory Empire. If we tear up the alliance..."
"Do you have the right to speak here?" Andrei's expression was gloomy. His impression of Codri wasn't good to begin with.
"This choice isn't good, then what choice is good? Listen to your proposal and cooperate with that whatever Dragon Sovereign? Heh..."
Codri subconsciously clenched his fists. Andrei's operation plan was too reckless. Including this cooperation with the Star Glory Empire, in reality, they had another layer of calculation.
The other party didn't consider the Impact the Salvation Ark might suffer at all.
And the Lord of the Ark was also like he'd been fed a bewitching potion, his eyes blinded by benefits.
And he had previously brought up another suggestion, which was to sell this information to the Other-Dimensional Camp. It was far more guaranteed than them personally participating.
But the Lord of the Ark and Andrei had both rejected this proposal.
"Codri, you go back first. The Other-Dimensional Camp is far from being the opponent of the Star Glory Empire."
"Now they have already fallen into the Star Glory Empire's trap and won't appear here. There were problems with your previous proposal to begin with," the Lord of the Ark said indifferently.
Codri's expression was indifferent. He lowered his head and headed to another direction, watching the battlefield together with his colleagues.
"I didn't expect such a change to actually occur. It's truly too astonishing," the person beside him said in a low voice.
Codri offered a couple of perfunctory remarks, his attention clearly not on this. He occasionally stared at the Lord of the Ark and Andrei not far away, his eyes flickering.
Li Yu... this is a prime opportunity. Are you coming or not?
