Didn't you see how all those beasts heading to the Purification Tower were completely submissive to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soraya still found this hard to believe. She had never thought that the little teddy bear dog was actually a great being at arch lord peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She merely assumed Orion had brought back a random pet dog from outside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all honesty, Soraya hadn't even sensed Leonidas's aura. If Orion hadn't pointed it out, she would have spent her whole life completely unaware that a peak arch lord had just appeared before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Soraya was nestled in Orion's arms. Feeling the soft curves of her body, Orion felt his long-dormant desire awaken once more. Without hesitation, he slipped his hand under Soraya's skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers caressed her clitoris, then he pushed two fingers right inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah… oh my god…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop messing around—there's still a battle going on outside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasping and blushing, Soraya came to her senses, forcing Orion's hand out of her panties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too many slime molds mutants are lurking nearby, so I need to get back to hatching more small scorpions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion pulled back his hand and planted a gentle kiss on Soraya. He spoke in a soft tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, go on. I'll be here to hold down the fort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time for lovemaking. Still, Soraya responded with a deep kiss. After a five-minute embrace, she turned into swirling sands and returned to her Nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Soraya left, the tenderness on Orion's face disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated on his throne, Orion leaned against the back, one hand resting on the armrest, an expression of perfect composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this battle, Orion had poured everything into the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An upper arch lord–level warrior was already this formidable. Orion could hardly imagine how fearsome a peak arch lord might be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Leonidas had mentioned that Arthas fought single-handedly against the slime molds broodmother and three broodmother counterparts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How unbelievably powerful must he be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What secrets might Arthas hold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't know, but he found himself looking forward to discovering the answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting those thoughts aside, Orion began surveying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor covering his body gradually vanished, revealing his bare, muscular frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed a layer of dragon scales emerging on the surface of his skin. Orion stared at these scales in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered very clearly that, during his final assault, his dragon scales had been cut and pierced by an enemy's attacks—they were left torn and tattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now they were once again intact, appearing perfectly whole on Orion's skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the effect of the Titan bloodline?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't look like it's due to the Titan bloodline… so maybe they were restored by those Zilan flowers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon scales were hidden inside Orion's body, and as the Zilan flowers repaired his injuries, they had apparently repaired the scales as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the only explanation that made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a nice treasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The commander never gives anything but the finest gear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion had another reason for thinking so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Thresh rescued him, he had also gifted Orion two other items—a pair of blade flashes hidden in Orion's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those twin blade gleams hadn't disappeared. They still remained within Orion's gaze, serving as two trump cards bestowed by a demigod warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Orion, those were his greatest spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a set of clothes from his storage ring. Before getting dressed, he glanced at the cursed pattern on his chest that had now formed ten flower buds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Orion had underestimated the Curse of a Hundred Blossoms and even tried using it for leads or information about the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he realized: if you're careless with a curse set by a god, you could pay a terrible price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I purify it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Titan bloodline is no weaker than this curse, so do I really need to get rid of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion hesitated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he finished dressing and chose to keep the curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, that wasn't the only change in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt stronger, his life force more vigorous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All aspects of his being had improved, yet he sensed his Titan bloodline had somehow become more diluted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To describe it: if Orion's total bloodline used to be 100, of which Titan accounted for 70, then now, his overall bloodline total was 110, but the Titan bloodline still remained at 70.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the best way to explain it. Orion couldn't say if that was good or bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Orion knew he had grown more powerful—powerful enough to defeat a lower arch lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collecting his thoughts, Orion steadied himself, then took out the survivor's treasure box that the broodmother counterpart had dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an arch lord drop. Aside from the gifts given by the commander, it was his most valuable prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a silent command, the survivor's box dissolved into dust, revealing its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Titan Emblem]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Type: Special Medal\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quality: Legendary\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bonus Skill: Gigantic Form\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill Description: Wearing this medal grants you the might of a Titan, even without activating its power. You receive a mysterious boost to all attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill Note: By offering different types of sacrifices to the medal, you can trigger various levels of Gigantic Form. The larger your transformation, the greater the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Item Evaluation: Always remember that you carry Titan blood in your veins. You shall dominate the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a piece of legendary gear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion studied the [Titan Emblem] for a long time, noting that it didn't specify how much it increased his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that mean legendary equipment grows stronger along with its wearer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Orion's best guess, because the same piece of equipment could have different effects depending on who used it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could accept that reasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll just put it on. Once I get the chance, I'll ask Leonidas about the details!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion placed the golden, mysterious emblem on his chest. It flashed briefly, then gently merged into his body, leaving behind only the faint outline of the medal across his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion knew the emblem was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it—and at this very moment, his body was saturated with a strange power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief second, Orion felt as if he could kill a god, or smash the very planet beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was only an illusion, brought on by the rush of heightened power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the blessing of this emblem, my combat ability will improve again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing his eyes, Orion calmly focused on the energy within his body, determined to master it as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the palace, on the city walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the hiss of bolts and whoosh of wind blades, the bloodline warriors of the Stoneheart Horde clutched their weapons, fighting desperately to hold off the relentless slime molds mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The din of battle cries and shouts had never ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having learned from their previous setbacks, Gustalon didn't dare to take the risk of diving too far into the slime molds layer to chase down fleeing enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, with Dirtclaw's help, he had already killed several Alpha-level slime molds mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaaooo… that's the eighth one, Gustalon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And as agreed, we split the loot fifty-fifty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transformed into a Hellhound, Dirtclaw held a clear advantage in mobility compared to Onyx, Earthshaker, or Gronthar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially now that he and Gustalon had teamed up, their coordination was spot-on—one would distract the enemy while the other went in for the kill, a highly efficient approach.\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-05-29T15:49:27.205Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9ab25053487b1051ddd4f8a92446e8907e8dcf1da1715270b516583738df6b9","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-518","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-516",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
