It started glowing, but no enemies have come through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been half a day since the anomaly began.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's will projection fell silent for a long moment before responding in a low, deliberate tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This situation means someone on the other side has activated the array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No enemies coming through suggests they're either hesitating or waiting for something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, my guess is that the other side of this array is likely the Emerald Dream Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the Emerald Dream Realm and Titanion Realm are locked in a divine war, this teleportation array is probably a relic left by some arch lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clymene didn't ask about the divine war or arch lords—she knew those were matters beyond her current reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orion, what should we do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clymene cut straight to her most pressing concern. What they needed was direction, not to remain passively in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her question silenced Orion once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold the line for now. I'll send word to Lorelia to dispatch a batch of small spiders to assist you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dark beast tides are coming soon, and it's unlikely an arch lord would show up in the underworld. If it's just a Legendary-level figure, there's no need to panic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was confident. If it was merely an ordinary Legendary-level enemy, the strength of his will projection could still hold them in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for an arch lord, they'd surely be tied up in the divine war—sneaking into Titanion Realm personally was out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if an arch lord appeared in Titanion Realm out of nowhere, the demigods would notice immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long ago, Arthas, an arch lord at his peak, had told Orion he couldn't descend to Titanion Realm without being detected by demigods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the enemy this time was most likely a Legendary-level lord—possibly one tied to the cross-realm teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was a slim chance an arch lord was pulling strings from afar, but that was highly improbable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an arch lord did show up in person, even if Orion rushed back now, he'd struggle to face such a formidable foe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orion, should we evacuate the clansmen from Blackstone City first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clymene's worry was palpable—an unknown enemy left her uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too late. With the dark beast tides approaching, the people of Blackstone City have nowhere to retreat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Orion's mind drifted to the teleportation array beneath Moonshadow Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that array could only transport a hundred people at a time and required transcendent power and crystal cores to operate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evacuating all of Blackstone City's inhabitants was impractical—the cost would be astronomical, far beyond what the Stoneheart Horde could bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the enemy hadn't even appeared yet; things hadn't reached that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Orion feared now was that during the dark beast tides, Blackstone City might face a pincer attack from both the surface and the underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pressure would fall squarely on Blackstone City—and on Spider Queen Lorelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Sister. If the enemy turns out to be overwhelmingly strong, I'll return to Blackstone City ahead of schedule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Clymene gave Orion a relieved smile. She opened her arms and embraced his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, she stepped out of the stone house, shared a rough outline of Orion's plan with the group, and reignited their morale and confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Orion was paying attention to this, it meant they had the strength to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That belief took root among them, their momentum and enthusiasm steadily rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vargrum, Mordak, Zorn, Balgor, Grendel, Desdemona—split into two teams and take turns guarding the teleportation array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember: anything that steps out of that array, friend or foe, kill it on sight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six Alpha-level warriors—Vargrum, Mordak, and the rest—acknowledged the order and began organizing the Skeletal Knights and death spiders into position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Blackstone City, Horde Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith and Rendall wore grim expressions as they gathered in the meeting hall, their faces clouded with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments ago, the message from Orion's will projection had left them restless and on edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lilith, should we summon Lysinthia, Twilight Viper, Rockwell, and Slagor back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rendall's voice betrayed his nerves as he grappled with the looming threat from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith shook her head firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. If we do that, Thunderwood Forest and Lysinthia City will be left defenseless. Everything the Stoneheart Horde has built over these years will crumble in the dark beast tides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, Orion didn't suggest that. He just told us to hold Blackstone City and fend off the surface invasion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arch Elder, we can't lose our nerve. We just need to follow Orion's plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to trust him—he's the King of Giants, the lord of the Stoneheart Horde, the strongest lord in the entire north.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The keywords—\"Orion\", \"King of Giants\", \"Strongest Lord in the north\"—gradually steadied Rendall's frayed nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll follow your lead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You take command here. I'll personally lead a patrol around Blackstone City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In times like this, only walking the city and seeing the arrow towers lining the walls gave Rendall a sliver of reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith nodded. Though she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was racing with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backbone of the Stoneheart Horde and most of its top fighters weren't in Blackstone City. To say Lilith wasn't rattled would be a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lilith, you've got this. You can hold the fort for your husband—for the Stoneheart Horde!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Valkorath Realm, Cryptopolis City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion opened his eyes atop his throne, a cold glint and killing intent flashing in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving Clymene's report, he'd pieced it together: someone in the Emerald Dream Realm was planning to sneak into Titanion Realm during the dark beast tides to plunder resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move suggested the enemy's strength wasn't at the arch lord level—maybe not even mid-tier Legendary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foe like that didn't warrant Orion's return. It'd just waste two precious teleportation scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Deputy Commander Edward carving those scrolls while holding off demigods was no small feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the fungal creatures' demigods seized an opening, the fragile stability in Valkorath Realm could collapse entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-05-29T15:49:11.112Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","b006141c05f7cdcd65584342b08bb1a72dfe71475670d000d66dc410b52433ab","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-476","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-474",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
