His gaze was icy as it swept across everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, an intelligence officer wearing glasses spoke up, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander... I’m afraid we’ve run into trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Dark Titan lost control, his bodily functions rapidly declined as well. Our resurrection plan... has failed completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant he heard that report, the commander slammed his palm down onto the conference table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Useless! All of you are useless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It took us forever to find a lead connected to Dark Titan. And to secure that corpse, we paid an enormous price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now you’re telling me you ruined it?\" His voice rose, sharp with fury. \"If you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, you’ll be hauled before a military tribunal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, the commander paused, then turned his gaze toward the scholarly delegation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you scholars,\" he said coldly. \"Do you think you can just wipe your hands clean once the plan fails?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you made any progress in your research on Dark Titan? And why is an Awakened this powerful... a human, instead of someone from our Titan Race?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the scholarly delegation all lowered their heads, not daring to meet the commander’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the commander’s question was exactly what they were researching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By all logic, the class Dark Titan should have awakened within the Titan Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet reality was that ten thousand years ago, a human had become the Dark Titan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, one of the elderly Titan scholars finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, I believe our research has not been meaningless. Though the first phase of the resurrection plan failed, I’m certain we left a deep impression on the humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, we have discovered the secret behind how Dark Titan preserved his physical body. According to our findings... it seems related to a piece of equipment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is precisely because we lacked this [Sacred Armor] that our resurrection plan fell short at the final step.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I believe that at this stage, not only should we avoid cutting research funding—we should increase it, and accelerate the conversion of results into practical outcomes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the elderly scholar took out a document from his desk and handed it to the commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, this is the second phase of the Dark Titan resurrection plan that we drafted together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although we have lost Dark Titan’s body, cellular activity still remains. If we can find the [Sacred Armor], we may still have a chance... to bring Dark Titan back to life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander’s expression remained calm. The proposal for a second phase didn’t move him in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My objective is only one,\" he said flatly. \"To ensure the Dark Titan class is inherited by our Titan Race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Dark Titan himself... he’s nothing but a human. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly scholar nodded, though inwardly he let out a quiet sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good—this time, he’d gambled correctly. Otherwise, the trouble would have been enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Commander, please rest assured. This time, I will send my most trusted apprentice to personally go into human territory and collect data.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oliver—don’t disappoint me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front-line camp, Caelan’s unbelievable feat had already earned him the admiration of everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even an idiot could see it: if Caelan hadn’t turned the tide just now, they likely would have all died here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the elites of the Ironclad Legion had been at their wits’ end against Orn—let alone that even more terrifying Titan monster that appeared afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan, you’re incredible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank goodness you were here—otherwise we’d all be dead! You’re our lifesaver!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan, I think we could be friends. I know a dessert shop where the cheesecake is amazing. Would you go with me to try it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the crowd chattered excitedly, Alyssa suddenly stepped forward—bold and unreserved—straight up to Caelan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she reached out, grabbed him by the hand, and pulled him off to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan,\" she said, \"I want to talk to you alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Alyssa take the initiative, the entire camp immediately erupted with the sound of hearts shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Alyssa... captivated by Caelan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens. It was unbelievably enviable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only I were that strong... how great would that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the boys beating their chests in despair, the girls’ reactions were even more starry-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan is so romantic! Confessing in the middle of a battle scene!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think Alyssa will say yes? I’m so moved my legs are going weak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alyssa’s status is... kind of special. But who knows? I ship them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Caelan followed Alyssa out of the front-line camp, into a small grove of trees nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Caelan could even speak, Alyssa spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan,\" she said, \"take my advice. You have excellent talent, so you shouldn’t keep wasting your thoughts on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no possibility between us. Besides... I’m not interested in men at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m truly sorry—but I still hope you can pull yourself together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa’s words were a blunt, straightforward rejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no intention of dating right now. She only wanted to devote herself entirely to improving her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Caelan was a rare genius—Alyssa couldn’t bear to ruin him. That was why she chose to come forward and make things clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, the boys whose hearts had just shattered felt them stitch back together again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they looked at Caelan, there was even a hint of sympathy in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it... Caelan really was kind of pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Caelan himself—the person involved—looked completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... what are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan frowned, his face full of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been thinking about his class mutation quest and hadn’t paid any attention to what was happening around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Alyssa suddenly dragged him away and said a bunch of inexplicable things—what on earth did she mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Caelan quickly realized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alyssa... seemed to have misunderstood him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to explain, when Alyssa spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not going to keep pestering me, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-03T07:00:22.893Z","2026-06-03T07:00:29.236Z",1,"novelbin.me","96fe5bef65d8691fcf5f8b577768e1d3253a65274896a2ff5f798e47f3eed93f","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-44","max-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-chapter-42",385,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmax-level-is-100-i-can-upgrade-all-skill-s-to-lv-cover.jpg"]
