He wasn't sure who this parasitic creature was targeting, and his mind wavered, hesitating to act immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his trident, Orion pointed it directly at the creature, ready to unleash [Instant Impact] at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the slime mold parasitic creature's body began to shift—its blades clicked together, forming a massive spinning blade that hurtled toward the bloodline warriors of the Stoneheart Horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Orion had no choice but to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion charged forward, swinging his trident and sending the giant blade flying off course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that instant, something unexpected happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless blood-red vines suddenly sprouted from the slime mold layer, blooming like a flower and ensnaring Orion in their grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the flower snapped shut, shrinking into a tight bud that imprisoned Orion and swiftly retracted back into the slime mold layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, the enemy's sent a Vine Splitter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exclamation came from Lich Vexis, whose figure soared into the air, arriving at the frontline of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vexis didn't dare advance further. She knew full well that Vine Splitters were peak Legendary-level threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she rushed in recklessly to save Orion, the Vine Splitter might shift its focus and prioritize her instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, not only would she fail to rescue him, but she'd also get herself killed—a loss far outweighing any gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Vexis had the critical task of overseeing the battlefield. She couldn't afford to let the slime mold layer exploit a gap in their defenses and breach their rear lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To ambush Orion, the slime mold broodmother actually deployed Vine Splitters,\" Vexis muttered to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she furrowed her brow, weighing her options, two more Legendary-level auras emerged from the slime mold layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One peak Legendary and three upper-tier Legendary powerhouses!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis had never witnessed such an assassination lineup before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a premeditated strike—they want Orion dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Vexis reached her conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she retreated to the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing her eyes, Vexis used a secret technique to relay the situation to Arthas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. Hold the line and don't let the slime mold layer break through,\" came Arthas's response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Orion, trust him. He's far stronger than you realize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the heart of the battlefield, in Bone City, Arthas slowly opened his eyes, gazing toward the distant slime mold layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a bold move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To trap and kill Hulk, they've brought a Vine Splitter and three Legendary-level parasitic creatures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you've sensed the threat Hulk poses—and you think he's dangerous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Hulk is far more powerful than you've anticipated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh heh… an opportunity has finally presented itself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Survivor's Platform, Arthas quietly sent a message to Alexander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The chance is here. Come over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Alexander replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To avoid detection, I won't use the teleportation array. I'll head there myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the walls of Bone City, Arthas stood with his sword in hand, his aura steadily building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>North of Cryptopolis, at the frontline of the battlefield, Orion was dragged into the slime mold layer. By the time he realized he'd been lured into a trap, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three massive vines erupted from the ground beneath the slime mold layer, coiling like giant pythons intent on strangling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, three upper-tier Legendary-level parasitic creatures burst out of the slime mold layer, attacking Orion from different angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WAAAGH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such an onslaught, Orion no longer held back. With a furious roar, he activated Titan Form, transforming into a towering titan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Eightfold Spear Barrage materialized around him—a dense array of spears, shooting out in every direction like a porcupine's quills, leaving no blind spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Orion triggered Instant Impact and activated Berserk Aura, pushing himself into a frenzied state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you can trap and kill me? Let's see if you've got what it takes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's voice carried a mix of madness and the unshakable confidence rooted in his bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared behind one of the parasitic creatures, thrusting his trident toward its neck while his left fist smashed toward its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this seemingly lethal strike was dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact sent a shockwave rippling outward, knocking the parasitic creature back into the slime mold layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion saw it clearly: just as the creature was about to be struck down, a thin green shield flickered over its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fist had shattered the shield, but the creature itself survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These bastards came prepared!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the last parasitic creature that had faced Orion and survived had shared its intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the assault was led by a Vine Splitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could Vine Splitters spawn countless vines to attack and ensnare their enemies, but they could also draw energy from the slime mold layer to grant their allies a protective barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what made Vine Splitters so terrifying—and why so many Legendary-level fighters in the Valkorath Realm had fallen to their precise ambushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early stages of the war, most of Leonidas, Arthas, Alexander, and Edward's Legendary-level subordinates had been killed this way, their bodies overtaken by the slime molds and turned into enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant, you're strong. I see the shadow of a Titan in you. I'll give you a chance—surrender, and the great Brood Mother will grant you eternal life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An aged female voice echoed through the confined space, attempting to sway Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But surrender was out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his first strike failed, Orion commanded the Eightfold Spear Barrage to tear through the encroaching slime mold layer, carving out space to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha… surrender? Never!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion transformed into a bolt of lightning, launching Instant Impact once more and charging at another parasitic creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion followed as the targeted creature was sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Orion sensed a powerful presence descending upon the area—an aura so immense it bordered on demigod-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Bone City, atop the walls, Arthas's eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he did, he drew his longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now's the time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound erupted from Arthas's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his body emerged a colossal skeletal figure, crowned and wielding a giant sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeletal apparition towered over the battlefield, blotting out the sky.
