Within the blood-colored trident, different types of transcendent power collided, causing a massive detonation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sea region, as if a submarine spring had formed, constantly had seawater gushing upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it you who captured Marina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a fluctuation of water elements, a seadragon, 1000 feet in length, burst through the seawater and emerged from the sea eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seadragon floated on the sea surface, raising its head to stare at Orion in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peak Legendary level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vorluk was very surprised. He hadn't expected the expert blocking his path to be a small rank higher than him in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Vorluk wasn't worried, because he had his seadragon as a companion; he was confident he could fight Orion and remain undefeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Vorluk of the Tidefang Clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marina's fourth brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion spoke lightly, confirming Vorluk's identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you know my little sister's name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What have you done to her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Vorluk's persistent questions, Orion smiled but didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion slowly raised his trident, looking down on Vorluk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take one move from me. Let me see if the Tidefang Clan, in this northern sea region, is qualified to become an ally of the Stoneheart Horde.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words were very arrogant, very brazen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least in Vorluk's eyes, Orion was arrogant beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ally?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did the Tidefang Clan ever say it would become an ally of the Stoneheart Horde?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, this so-called qualification, where does that even come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vorluk's eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Orion before him with extreme displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his rush to save his little sister, Vorluk didn't want to bother with Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fellow had already angered Vorluk by proactively attacking him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, spouting such arrogant and domineering words, Vorluk had absolutely no good impression of Orion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Vorluk was burning with anger, Orion's indifferent voice also sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant, this isn't land but the sea—our Sea Race's domain, my territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think a peak Legendary level being can run rampant in the sea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trident also appeared in Vorluk's hand. He prepared to teach this ignorant and arrogant strange lord a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after a ripping sound, there was a dull splash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vorluk and his seadragon mount, struck by an ordinary 'Instant Impact' from Orion, both plummeted into the deep sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Orion hadn't used lethal force; Vorluk wouldn't be injured. Orion's locked target wasn't him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Vorluk's seadragon mount, that was another story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths, the seadragon once again parted the waves and appeared on the sea surface, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at Orion, roaring furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion's attack just now, although it hadn't pierced its body, the concussive force had caused the seadragon some internal injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I get angry, you'd better make it shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to those whales in the south, this fellow looks easier to slaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two sentences, filled with killing intent, were like cold water dousing the anger in Vorluk's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his anger gone, what remained in Vorluk's heart was even more confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vorluk was no fool; he could see that Orion had held back just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Respected giant, may I ask your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orion Stoneheart, Lord of the Stoneheart Horde, King of Giants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion looked at Vorluk, the condescension in his eyes deepening somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after sensing Vorluk's aura in Lysinthia City, Orion had conceived the idea of giving him a show of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That attack just now was Orion's show of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion wanted to tell Vorluk that he and his mount were very weak to Orion, that he could easily kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Vorluk, Fourth Prince of the Tidefang Clan, one of the lords of the Silvercurrent Sea region.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silvercurrent Sea region was vast, not specifically referring to the sea area near Lysinthia City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tidefang Clan, as a branch of the Slark Merfolk, occupied the northern Silvercurrent Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask, what is your relationship with my sister Marina?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Marina has offended you in any way, I hope you won't take it amiss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marina hasn't completed her coming-of-age ceremony yet; she's still inexperienced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See? In the face of overwhelming strength, people are always polite and courteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion put away his trident. Some things couldn't be said by him; he couldn't bring himself to say them. He couldn't just bluntly state that he had already engaged in sexual relations with Marina multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marina is in Mist Bay. Go to Lysinthia City and ask her yourself if you have any questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't explain further, transformed into a streak of lightning, and vanished into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing in the direction Orion had disappeared, Vorluk frowned deeply, a bad premonition settling in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vorluk, you must be careful! That giant is too powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like we might not even be able to take a single blow from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His attack speed is too fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Orion left did the seadragon beneath Vorluk's feet let out a terrified voice, expressing its inner fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright. He bears us no ill will; I can't sense any killing intent from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were Vorluk's words to comfort the seadragon; his inner thoughts were quite different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No ill will meant they might be considered 'on the same side.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And being 'on the same side' implied that his little sister Marina might have already lost her chastity... Vorluk shook his head; he was unwilling to accept such a consequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tidefang Clan had no precedent of marrying its mermaid princesses to outsiders; there had never been such a case in the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's follow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since he bears no ill will, perhaps the situation is better than we imagine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vorluk nudged the seadragon with his foot, signaling it to follow in the direction Orion had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seadragon opened its mouth, exhaled several streams of water, then, carrying Vorluk, dived into the deep sea and stealthily departed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-05-29T15:49:29.113Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","30fb5e88b7bf30e7ad22928526a1e62e65bb5bca0c8ce2926499f7edc5339910","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-695","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-693",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
