Just watch and don't make a sound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's voice was calm, but beneath that calmness lay an undercurrent of something unknown—something expectant, almost thrilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the underground fissure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the largest chamber, ten thousand cages were arranged in neat rows.

Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, green flames roared to life, illuminating the dark underground space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie green light cast the shadows of the caged creatures onto the stone walls, creating a sinister, terrifying, and mysterious atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiderlings dwelling in the fissure, sensing the oppressive energy, began chirping nervously, their sounds amplifying the eerie tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great being of the Bottomless Abyss, I call upon you with blood as the medium and fire as the guide.

Their souls and blood are yours to claim in exchange!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The altar is sacred, whole and pure. Let the flames cleanse all impurity…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion recited a lengthy prayer, his voice steady and unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when Chillrend's corpse was completely consumed by the flames did he stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underground fissure fell into an eerie silence—so quiet that Orion couldn't even hear his own heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, where Chillrend's body had once been, a blood-red mouth with sharp fangs suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mouth opened wide and inhaled deeply, sucking in all the creatures from the cages as streams of smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pull was irresistible, overwhelmingly powerful. Orion didn't even have the will to resist; the titan force within him was almost awakened in an attempt to counteract the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the force wasn't directed at Orion, Lorelia, or Rendall, who stood outside the ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After devouring the sacrifices, the blood-red mouth let out a satisfied belch and spat out six faint, grayish souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The souls drifted into the coffins, settling inside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am pleased… good job…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion wasn't sure if he was hallucinating, but he thought he heard a majestic voice echoing in the chamber, its tone almost encouraging him to continue offering sacrifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what felt like an eternity, the oppressive, suffocating pressure in the fissure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huff… huff… huff…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only sounds in the chamber were the heavy breaths of Orion, Lorelia, and Rendall, all of whom were gasping for air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creatures that had been in the cages were gone—completely erased, without even a trace of bone or shadow left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about the scene reminded Orion that what had just happened was no illusion—it was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion lifted his head, his gaze sweeping across the chamber. He noticed that even the blood runes etched into the ground had disappeared, leaving no trace behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, his eyes rested on the coffin containing his sister, Clymene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did the ritual fail?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were the sacrifices insufficient to complete the transformation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Orion's thoughts spiraled, his sister, Clymene, slowly sat up from her coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>",1111,"2026-05-29T15:49:11.112Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","eb8b596654ea32b3689292148600d75a47b5cf258db84303e2aa109ae624cedf","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-206","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-51",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
