Forbidden curses are for Arch-Lords. Do you want to blow your own arms off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Warrior Caelus\" flatly rejected the request of his other self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me do it! You and your boring 'One Cut' technique are never going to finish him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Mage Caelus\" continued to whine inside his head. He loved showing off, and a public execution with high-tier magic was exactly his style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One move is all I need. Watch and learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two souls bickered internally, Lokiviria was already upon him, blade raised high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the son of my enemy! Kill him! AVENGE FATHER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lokiviria was manic. He abandoned his fight with Prince Theodore, focusing all his hatred on the new target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, Theodore didn't intervene. Instead, he lowered his sword and watched with intense curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Giant Prince was a ghost in the intelligence networks of the Human Kingdom. The only information they had was a vague title: \"First Prince.\" Rumor said he was a recluse who held the unwavering support of the entire Stoneheart Horde, but no one knew why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Theodore speculated, Caelus spoke, his voice cold as ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you're worthy of using a blade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelus reached into his belt and pulled out a wooden sword. It was simple, unadorned, whittled by Commander Thresh himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held it with one hand. No fancy stance. No buildup of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply swung it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZZZZZT.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound like tearing canvas, or perhaps shattering glass, filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible wave of Sword Aura erupted from the wooden blade. It didn't travel through the air; it cleaved through space itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lokiviria, mid-charge, ran face-first into the distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no resistance. No clash of metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lokiviria was bisected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a surreal sight. His body split perfectly down the middle, the two halves drifting apart. In the gap between them, Lokiviria's pupils were still dilating, locked in a look of utter confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even know he was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the gruesome scene vanished. The split body dissolved into thousands of wood chips, scattering into the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away, Lokiviria reappeared, gasping for air. His hand flew to his forehead, feeling for a wound that wasn't there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could feel was a lingering, phantom chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... what kind of power is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is he that strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he really just a Giant Prince?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is he that strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he really just a Giant Prince?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lokiviria was trembling. The \"death\" had been a substitution artifact—a life-saving treasure burned in an instant. But the terror was real. Facing Caelus, he felt like an ant standing in front of a tsunami. Helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't the only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore, Delphine, and Blizzarion—the prodigies of the Human, Elf, and Dragon races—stared in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single cut was... perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Peak Legendary warrior had been effectively one-shot. If that wooden sword had been aimed at them, the result would have been the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat rolled down Theodore's cheek. The shock on their faces slowly morphed into dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stoneheart Horde was becoming unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the Giant King Orion, a peerless monster. And now, his son, a recluse who wielded power that defied logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pallas swallowed hard. He slowly turned his head to look at Elara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis... is that really Big Brother? I'm not hallucinating, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't his fault for doubting. Caelus had never shown off. To the Horde, he was just the \"First Prince\"—a title with no feats attached. Pallas knew Caelus was a \"Natural Lord,\" but that was just a label.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the gap between them felt like a chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's our Little Brother,\" Elara replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Pallas, she was calm. Her large eyes narrowed in appreciation as she watched Caelus's back. She knew he was strong, but this? This was beyond her expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the younger generation was shocked, high above in the sky, someone else was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Aura?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Cut?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he... Thresh's disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since ascending to demigodhood, the Clown felt a flicker of genuine emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored his opponent, the Human Saint, and stared down at Caelus. His eyes bored into the Giant Prince, trying to dissect his secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he saw nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelus's aura was veiled, a void that refused to be read. Unless he attacked, he was a cipher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be Thresh's disciple! He has to be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clown muttered to himself, and then, greed took over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abandoning his duel, the Clown's avatar streaked toward the ground like a meteor. He wanted Caelus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he possessed the body or refined the boy into a puppet, Caelus was a prize worth infinitely more than this war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friend, you're crossing the line!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure intercepted him. Saint Noel, the guardian of the Human Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the strongest combatant in this theater, Noel had a duty to protect the VIPs of the Alliance of Four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the heirs of the Stoneheart Horde, the Blood Elves, or the Dragon Race died on his watch, the political fallout would be apocalyptic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelus was an Over-tier talent. If he died here, Orion would turn the Human Kingdom into a graveyard. Noel couldn't afford that price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he blocked the Clown with everything he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out of my way, you insignificant trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clown roared, unleashing a wave of transcendent energy to swat the Saint aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trash?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noel's eyes flashed with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! A nameless mongrel from nowhere dares to call me trash in the realm? You have a death wish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noel was an Arch-Lord, a living legend, the idol of millions. He had been polite until now, but being called \"trash\" by a circus freak snapped his patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing upon the power of his Relics, Noel stopped holding back. He hammered the Clown's avatar, driving him back again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the ground, the war raged on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Lokiviria's aura reappear in the distance, Caelus took a single step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung the wooden sword again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a cockroach that refuses to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-05-29T15:49:48.938Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef80481c0afb63c6382a72852ba5299bf0ba617d5e0d4bcc4657689dd95df9ff","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-1321","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-1319",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
