Orion stopped at a temporary outpost of the Sentinel Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lokiviria dead in battle, and Lord Aldous and Prince Theodore overseeing things, there was no need for Orion to continue towards the insectoid territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a temporary tent, Orion opened the survivor treasure chest dropped by Ssorin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained a skill scroll, quite practical for Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aura Lock]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Type: Locking Skill\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skill Description: Locks onto an enemy's aura, suppressing them. Within perception range, the target cannot be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Orion directly tore the scroll and learned Aura Lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with Orion's throwing skill, the effect of Aura Lock would be incredibly effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Orion immersed his consciousness into the Survivor's Platform, entering the Champions Alliance public channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Orion had stopped at the Sentinel Corps temporary outpost was because something had occurred within the Champions Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, a new member had joined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander: \"Welcome our new partner, Isabella!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Alexander's introduction; clearly, the new member Isabella was brought in by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella: \"Hello everyone, please take care of me in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas: \"Welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraken: \"A warm welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the slumbering Commander and Arthas, Deputy Commanders Edward, Leonidas, and Kraken all expressed their welcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being pulled into the Champions Alliance indicated that Isabella was at least a Legendary level existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulk: \"Welcome! Should I add, 'first send a nude selfie for us to see'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion spoke up promptly to welcome her, intending to make a joke, but unexpectedly elicited a different kind of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella: \"Besides sex and women, what else is in your brain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulk: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas: \"Hahaha... Orion, you got told off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraken: \"I can already sense a certain dominance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion was somewhat speechless. His comment was clearly meant as banter; he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Isabella to take it seriously and even retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Orion was grumbling to himself, Alexander stepped in to smooth things over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander: \"Everyone, don't mind her. Isabella is just an ignorant little girl, accustomed to being a queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella is just a little girl? How old is she, is she even 18?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought popped into the minds of all Champions Alliance members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Isabella, see that prize wheel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"That's the Commander's joining benefit for every new member. Input a trace of your transcendent power into it, and you can draw a reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Deputy Commander spoke again, and everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a test, to determine if Isabella had reached the Legendary level, if she possessed the transcendent power exclusive to Legendary level beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was also a benefit; Orion himself had obtained the dragonscale leather armor through this test previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone's watchful eyes, the prize wheel was activated, and a treasure chest was retrieved by Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This signified that Isabella was a Legendary level being; she possessed the status of a lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edward: \"Isabella, congratulations on becoming the eighth member of our Champions Alliance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas: \"Well done, Alexander! Quietly nurtured such a fierce female general!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexander: \"Not a fierce female general, a queen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulk: \"Formal welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraken: \"Time to move on to the next stage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bout of chatter, everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraken was right; it was time to proceed to the next stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every new member, everyone would prepare a welcoming gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion had gone through this process as well, only now he had shifted from receiving gifts to giving them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Orion couldn't find a suitable gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stoneheart Horde, unlike other members of the team, lacked distinct characteristics or weaknesses, being more of an all-around type of force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resulted in Orion not having any exclusive specialty products on hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Items like magical plants or minerals felt inadequate to offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Orion initiated a trade with Isabella, sending over a clump of Legendary level life essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Isabella, who had just advanced to the Legendary level, such an item was undoubtedly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks. I forgive your earlier offense towards me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Isabella's reply, Orion felt an urge to curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out, that woman Isabella still remembered the earlier incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking it over, Orion let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There would be plenty of time to interact with Isabella in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her true age and true temperament would only be revealed after spending more time together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One couldn't define a person solely based on their initial words and actions; Orion understood this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exiting the Survivor's Platform, Orion felt a sense of urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the addition of a new member would certainly mean that the benefits from the fungal creatures in the Valkorath Realm would be further divided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone understood this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Need to wrap things up here quickly and return to the Valkorath Realm sooner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering more resources for the Stoneheart Horde, accumulating a deeper foundation—this was what Orion should prioritize now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With resources, the Stoneheart Horde could develop; development led to acquiring more population and territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these were all necessary processes for Orion to advance to Arch Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were shortcuts to reaching the Legendary level, then becoming an Arch Lord truly required grinding it out bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Arthas, Leonidas, and Alexander within the Champions Alliance had spent a very long time progressing from Legendary level to Arch Lord peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Warfare here in the Titanion Realm has temporarily concluded. We just need to maintain stability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fungal creatures in the Valkorath Realm will also continue to dwindle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The plan to make designs on the Emerald Dream Realm should be put on the agenda!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the Stoneheart Horde had opened up territories in three realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The territory in the Valkorath Realm was the safest, serving as the main rear base, a safe zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Deputy Commander and the realm formation existed, Orion wouldn't have to worry about his rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two territories were located in the north and south of the Utessar continent within the Titanion Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The north was harsh and cold, and the surrounding lords weren't powerful, making it relatively safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The south, conversely, though rich in resources and diverse in species, was the most unstable region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Stoneheart Horde's external environment, constrained by humans, blood elves, dwarves, and dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If problems arose with any one of these factions, it could potentially drag the southern territory into war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after the North-South War, the neighboring blood elves and humans showed no inclination towards large-scale warfare, so the south was temporarily stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion walked out of the temporary tent, gazing at the distant plains. As his faction and status rose, the number of things requiring his consideration grew ever larger.\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.191Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","d664ce6060244bd94528cf6cdd341c321fc6613eab3a1b495493f9e1b9db1356","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-589","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-587",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
