Then Hyperion extended a hand and pulled Orion to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, I…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion lifted his head, wanting to speak with his father, only to discover that both parents had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he heard his father's familiar voice echo by his ear: \"My child, don't keep sinking. Now is not the time for us to meet, but I believe that one day we will see each other again. There's a long road ahead of you—wake up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Orion was once more filled with hope and faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously resigned himself to burial beneath the ground. Now, he transformed into a seed within the dark soil, bursting forth with infinite life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope sprouted, broke through the darkness, and then bloomed everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a rebirth—death giving way to life, life giving way to a second chance. It was a beauty of reversal, a renewal of energy, spirit, and essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, something changed in Orion, still draped over Leonidas's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver roots that had covered Orion's body began retracting, retreating into the Curse of a Hundred Blossoms design on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The changes continued for about fifteen minutes, until the flowers on Orion's chest compressed. Their number dropped rapidly, finally shrinking to ten blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deputy Commander, this guy's curse is getting worse,\" Leonidas blurted out in alarm, worried that Orion might die on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just a curse—it won't take Orion down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Orion wants to remove it, he can tap into his Titan bloodline. Then, by meditating in the Purification Tower for six months, he can fully cleanse himself of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mention of \"Purification Tower\" made Leonidas pause. Right, Orion's Soraya City has a Purification Tower; obviously, Orion would know what it can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Leonidas realized Orion must have kept the Curse of a Hundred Blossoms for a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Leonidas was thinking, Orion slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha…Big Guy, you're awake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas's huge head moved in closer, pressing face to face with Orion—nearly cheek to cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon waking, Orion almost launched Battle Will Surge and Instant Impact. Fortunately, Leonidas's voice clued him in that this was a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later, Orion regained his bearings and jumped down from Leonidas's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you all for saving my life. Otherwise, I really would've been finished this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion stood and lightly tapped his right fist against his chest, offering Deputy Commander Edward, Leonidas, and Alexander a formal Giant's salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, thank Commander Thresh and Deputy Commander Edward. They're the ones who saved you—nothing to do with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas resumed his normal size, sprang up onto Orion's shoulder, and swung his tail across Orion's neck in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the war over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion aimed the question at Deputy Commander Edward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a demigod-level fighter would know where the battle stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's effectively over,\" Edward replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The enemy's top-tier forces have left. The ones that remain are basically freebies for you and Kraken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Edward's words, Orion grasped the situation immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you feeling now?\" Edward added, having answered Orion's question first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion clenched his fists, brimming with an uncontainable strength and a deep sense of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great. I feel at least ten times stronger than before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at his chest, where the curse mark now showed ten budding blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The curse on you seems stronger now. Based on that formation, it'll flare up again in at most ten years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you don't want to purify it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talk of worsening curses, changing patterns, and the possibility of a recurrence in ten years left Orion deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, Orion lifted his head, a smile lighting up his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't plan on purifying the curse by choice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it found its way onto me, I won't let it escape so easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And look at me now—I'm fine, aren't I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an arm, flexing his muscles for emphasis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not wearing any clothes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Orion struck a showy pose, Alexander popped off a sudden remark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not wearing clothes? What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion glanced at Alexander, who offered no further response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perched on Orion's shoulder, Leonidas gave two playful whoops, then broke into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hulk, your package is pretty big. Really, quite impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you ever find yourself weaponless on the battlefield, I'm sure you can knock enemies out with your cock!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion lowered his head, noticing his lower half. Realization dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, he tried to cover himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone's already seen it. No use hiding now!\" Leonidas teased again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion stretched out a hand, calling forth his weapon, Flame of Will, from beneath the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An icy armor spread from Orion's hand, quickly cloaking his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. It's infused with your will, so no wonder it survived that massive explosion,\" Alexander remarked, showing some interest in Orion's trident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hulk, you killed a broodmother counterpart—that thing was on par with an arch lord. Hurry and see if there's anything you can loot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas pointed into the distance, where a whale skeleton could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ancient giant-horned whale that used Deep Sea Detonation, the fact that its skeleton remained intact meant it must be special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's eyes lit up as he spotted the skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arch lord-level creature's remains were extremely valuable. If there was a survivor's treasure chest inside, so much the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He streaked toward the whale skeleton in a burst of lightning and fished out a treasure chest from under the bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This whale skeleton is pretty impressive. When Arthas wakes up, maybe ask him. You might get a nice surprise out of it,\" Leonidas suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded and then asked, \"What about Arthas? How is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him? He got ganged up on and left in a wreck—turned into a bag of bones, knocked unconscious…basically, he's in a deep slumber.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas's response was full of scorn and disdain, though there was also an obvious tinge of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's head back,\" Edward said. \"From now on, Valkorath Realm will focus on clearing out fungal creatures. You can rotate back home to your own world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hulk, pay attention to the mission of cleansing the slime molds. It's a great opportunity to train your soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And a great chance to strengthen your faction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion nodded, casting a grateful look at Deputy Commander Edward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeating slime molds mutants yields life essence, a resource that directly boosts strength—an opportunity that doesn't come around often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on Valkorath Realm here to clear out fungal creatures, Stoneheart Horde would be making a giant leap forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1122,"2026-05-29T15:49:27.205Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c7511f00a3a400ec94133c6ccd3060a847d948d36eefdc028345a07936257b8","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-516","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-514",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
