Chapter 313: I am the Dragon Manifestor, controlling the Titan

The two walked around the village, asked the locals, and learned that this place was called the Darmechia Republic.

It is a country with a complete parliamentary system, no king; most of the men in the town have gone to war, and recently the Iron Kingdom launched an invasion against them.

"Lord Titan will surely defeat the invaders."

"Yeah, those Iron Kingdom scum are absolutely no match for Lord Titan." Several villagers spoke up.

"Titan? Who is the Titan you're talking about?" Ailis asked.

She had heard that name many times recently; on their planet, they used the power of magic crystals.

One can summon a summoned beast Titan made of rock and cement, though it's just a three‑ to four‑meter monster that usually just helps in battle.

But the Titan that Luode spoke of is a top‑level life form born from the planet's core, possessing unimaginable power.

One can freely reshape planets and create life; does this new world also have a Titan?

"Titan is Lord Yuguoku Puka! He can transform into a giant Titan a hundred meters tall."

"He is the strongest, the protector god of our nation." A thirteen‑ or fourteen‑year‑old boy spoke excitedly.

"A hundred meters! Fighting as a hundred‑meter‑tall giant!" Ailis showed a look of surprise.

A hundred‑meter‑tall giant's destructive power—she knew it all too well; even without any special ability, it is a terrifying combat force.

"Lord Titan also has the power to control the earth; he is the greatest Manifestor, and when I grow up I want to join his army." The speaking boy was very excited.

"Can you tell me what a Manifestor is?" Ailis asked.

Soon Ailis and Luode also learned from some villagers what a Manifestor really is.

Manifestors are the top‑level existence on this continent; each possesses unimaginable power and is a nation‑destroying combat force.

They can turn into gigantic summoned beasts, wielding control over their corresponding attributes; the Manifestors of other nations are obviously unknown to the people of this small village, who only know that their own nation's Manifestor, Titan, is the strongest.

After obtaining the information they wanted, Luode and Ailis planned to leave the village and go see the front line they had spoken of.

It is said that the Iron Kingdom also sent a Manifestor, and the two top combat powers of this world are about to clash.

If I remember correctly, the god who created this world has over a dozen clansmen.

He injected part of that clansmen's power into the bodies of the people of this world, and let that power be passed down through their descendants by blood.

Therefore the continent's top combat powers are all related to that World‑Destroying Evil God; that Evil God is the origin of everything, and he created humanity.

He created the world's strongest combat power, an entity that can transform into a giant monster tens of meters tall, even up to a hundred meters, to fight.

"Are you travelers from other countries? May I ask where you're from?" At that moment, the official in charge of town security, a man holding a sabre, walked over and asked.

The pair before him looked very strange; first, their clothing was completely different from the locals'.

They were probably not citizens of this country, but from other countries; however, judging by their equipment style, they didn't look like people from the Iron Kingdom either.

"How to put it? Just treat us as people from a very distant country." Luode said.

"Sorry, both of you; if it were normal times, I'd welcome you to come play in the village and experience the scenery of the Darmechia Republic.

"But now we are at war with the Iron Kingdom, so I must know your purpose." The security officer waved his hand; a few guards then came over and surrounded Ailis and Luode.

During wartime, if foreigners suddenly appear in the country or near the front line and are not allies, they are likely spies.

"Believe me, I mean no harm; I heard you are at war with the Iron Kingdom—would you be willing to hire me?" Luode said.

At this point in time, the game should just have begun; the mighty Titan Giant God is about to battle the Ice God Xiwa.

Among the powers on this continent, the only one where joining quickly grants high status is the Darmexia Republic; this country has no emperor.

Unlike the surrounding empires and kingdoms, it adopts a United Council system of governance.

Luode planned to start with this country, making some alterations to fate to see what would happen.

"What do you mean? You want to join this war in the form of mercenaries to help us? You're not a Benefactor, are you?" The sabre‑holding man suddenly frowned and asked.

"No, I am not a Benefactor; I am a Manifestor." Luode said.

"What? You say you're a Manifestor? How is that possible?" Across the whole continent, only seven Manifestors have ever been born.

It is said that a mysterious fire‑element Manifestor appeared in the Rozalia Duchy over a decade ago, but it was just a fleeting bloom—few people saw him; could the man before us be that fire Manifestor?

"How? You don't believe what I say? Then shall I transform to show you?" Luode said.

So what transformation should I do? Should I directly shift into Azure Dragon state, or give myself a Susanoo armor?

"My lord, if you truly are a Manifestor, our nation heartily welcomes your joining.

"I will immediately report your situation to the superiors; please show me your Manifestor power!" The officer in charge of guarding the village immediately exclaimed excitedly.

Luode nodded, then led the officer to an open spot outside the village.

"Roar! Roar!" A huge divine dragon soared into the sky, its whole body a jade green, stretching over five hundred meters long.

Luode can now freely control his size after transformation; when fully transformed, his body length can reach an astonishing five kilometers.

But he can also shrink to a few tens of meters, since that Titan is a hundred‑meter‑class monster.

So I ought to be a bit larger than him, but not too much—five hundred meters will do!

After the huge divine dragon appeared, it circled in the sky, its body blocking out the sun; on the ground strong winds blew, knocking all the soldiers about.

"Good, amazing! This size is even bigger than Lord Titan's, right?"

"This size is also perhaps too huge, isn't it?"

"Enough! Enough! Sir, you, you can stop now—you are indeed a Manifestor." The soldier receiving Luode immediately waved his hand and said.

The huge divine dragon in the sky let out a roar, its size rapidly shrank, and then it turned into Luode's true form.

"How amazing! Luode, you can also turn into a dragon." Ailis said excitedly.

What other secrets could be hidden in my man's body? He seems never to have shown his full strength before! But it's fine, because great power also gives women a tremendous sense of security.

"So now, can you take me to meet your nation's superiors?" Luode patted the frightened soldier and said.

By then, all I need to do is cast an illusion, and I can control your nation's entire leadership.

"I, I understand! Sir, I'll report your situation right away; come with us to the front line—we happen to be transporting a batch of supplies there." The town's security officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, trembling.

A powerful Manifestor willing to join their nation and help them fight the Iron Kingdom is indeed a good thing.

Speaking of overall national strength, the Dalmexia Republic is actually inferior to the Iron Kingdom; those folks of the Iron Kingdom have an extremely ferocious combat style, and their soldiers' training is even stronger.

"The situation is now very bad; it's said that the Iron Kingdom has already dispatched the Ice Summoner Shiva to the battlefield," a high official of the Dalmexia Republic's congress said.

"If that's the case, our trump card Titan will have no advantage."

"Hmph! Rest assured, Titan's power cannot be matched by Shiva; Ice Shiva could never be my opponent." A bald, muscular man over two meters tall stubbed out his cigarette, gave a cold laugh, and said.

This person is the Manifestor of the Titan Giant, Hugo Kukap, ever since he awakened the power of Titan.

No one is his match; even without fully transforming, just using part of Titan's power, nobody can defeat him.

"Hugo! We believe in your power! But the Walden Kingdom is our ally; since we've allied, they cannot refuse to contribute." A congress official said.

"That's right; we must get these people entering the continent to help, otherwise what's the point of our alliance? Against the enemy, do we have to face them alone?"

"In two days, the people of the Warlud Kingdom will arrive; then we need to negotiate properly with them."

"Report! Report! Rear, rear, an important message has come from the rear!" At that moment a panicked soldier ran in, knelt on the ground, and said.

"What's all the commotion? What exactly happened?"

"We, we have discovered a mysterious Manifestor who can transform into a giant divine dragon; they expressed willingness to join our Dalmexia Republic and jointly deal with the Iron Kingdom."

"What? A new Manifestor has appeared and intends to join our Dalmexia Republic to help us against the Iron Kingdom? You're not joking, are you? Is he really a Manifestor?" an incredulous Dalmexia Republic official asked.

"What I say is true; moreover, the other party has revealed the form of a Manifestor—a gigantic divine dragon that we all have seen, and it has now arrived at our camp." The kneeling soldier said.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't dare come to report it.

"If that's the case, that would be great; if we had the power of two summoned beasts, our Dalmexia Republic could easily repel the Iron Kingdom and even gain greater influence on this continent," an excited congress official said.

Merely having one Titan Giant already carries great deterrence, but if there were two, the meaning would be completely different.

The Warlud Kingdom of the Ashen Continent, our ally, possesses two Manifestors; it is said they once had three, but one defected.

"As far as I know, there should be no other Manifestors in this world; only thirteen years ago, during the Phoenix Gate Incident, a mysterious fire-afflicted person appeared." The bald, muscular Hugo gave a cold snort.

I don't know what attribute this stranger Manifestor represents; the Wind Manifestor is that woman from the allied nation.

The Earth Manifestor Titan is myself; the Water Manifestor is in the autonomous territory.

The Fire Manifestor, it is said, was killed years ago, but according to some rumors, there may now be a second Fire Manifestor on the continent.

The Lightning Manifestor, it is said, is a person from another continent, but defected for unknown reasons.

And the other two are widely regarded as the most powerful Manifestors: Dragon King Bahamut and Odin.

The Dragon Manifestor Bahamut, Dragon King, is the crown prince of the Holy Sangburek Empire.

As for the other, the Odin Manifestor, famed equally with the Dragon King, is King Barnabas of the Warlud Kingdom.

In the Nisa Valley, within the Zaniercha Fortress, this is the front line where we battle the Iron Kingdom.

If a Manifestor appears, my plan to control the Dalmexia Republic would likely need to be revised.

"No matter what, let's first invite the person in!"

The other congress members of the Dalmexia Republic all wore excited expressions, hoping that this Manifestor would sincerely join them.

Then there would be someone who could check Hugo; this guy Hugo has been getting increasingly outrageous lately, even wanting to turn the republic into his kingdom.

Soon, Luode and Alice were both invited into the military stronghold of the Dalmexia Republic.

"You are the new one! Uh! Uh!" The Dalmexia Republic congress member who was about to step forward to speak had his eyes instantly turn blood-red, a strange pattern appearing in his eye sockets, and he wore a dazed expression.

The others in the room were about to react, when Luode's eyes swept over them.

Nobody could resist the power of the Samsara Sharingan, including the Titan Manifestor; all high-ranking officials of the Dalmexia Republic were instantly controlled by Luode.

I have no intention of playing power games with them, for shortly thereafter, the spokesperson of an evil god—the Odin Manifestor, King Barnabas—will come. (End of chapter)
