They’ll only commit their true bodies to the fray if absolutely forced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They all fear death, all want to live on, desperately seeking the chance to ascend to the demigod level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s more, with demigods active in this world, they’re even less likely to show their true faces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas grew more animated as he spoke, as if he’d found a familiar, disdainful topic, his words vivid and colorful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, are you like that too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion’s sudden interjection, however, made Leonidas immediately stop his tirade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Hulk, that’s not how this is supposed to go. You should be despising those cowards with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas’s torrent of words ceased. Under Orion’s unwavering gaze, he couldn’t just ignore the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem… Hulk, today I’ll teach you a proper lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll definitely need this when you advance to Archlord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you know, among Archlords, there’s a saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Archlord must learn to keep a low profile. Remember: lie low and endure. Lie low and endure until the very end, until you become a demigod…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas chattered on and, as if fearing Orion wouldn’t trust him, added at the end,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arthas is the same as me. That guy is even better at lying low and enduring than I am!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Leonidas chuckled slyly, his gaze towards Orion holding a hint of shared understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Leonidas wasn’t lying in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him, but even Arthas and Alexander, when invading other worlds, would, in most cases, only dispatch avatars or projections of their will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with the backing of a demigod, or when accompanied by trusted partners, would they possibly descend in their true forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invasion of the Godforsaken Land a few years ago was one such example; Leonidas and Arthas descended in their true forms because of their mutual trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the thought of meeting Orion was also a factor back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, all these actions were about reducing the risk of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion understood this principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I advance to Archlord,” Orion mused, “perhaps I can send out two avatars, while I myself oversee the Stoneheart Horde, focus on developing our territory, and collecting faith energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought arose in Orion’s mind. He didn’t know that many Archlords in other worlds made the same choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Managing one’s main base well and expanding territory when opportunities arose—that was the way of Archlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakened ones like Leonidas and Arthas would also immerse themselves in the Survivor’s Platform, using their vast wealth to snap up goods on the trading platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless, we’ve won this battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This half-continent is pretty much in our pocket now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas roared, a gust of air rushing from his mouth as he unleashed a high-level spell, blowing away the Dark Sacred Chalice’s residual dark aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dark aura dissipated, the entire battlefield came into their view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tragic sounds of slaughter, the howls of various strange beasts, the blare of horns and the thunder of drums from both sides, echoed across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth looked as if it were covered with a vivid, intense red carpet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilling, blood-tinged wind blew over them, causing Orion and Leonidas to pause their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, how have my wyverns become so few?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle had been brutal; the losses for wyverns and cave spiders were the greatest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survival rate of the wyverns was less than ten percent, which pained Leonidas deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the contingent guarding Lorelia in the rear, no cave spiders remained on the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome was plain to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time for them to pay the price!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion raised his trident, lightning coalescing upon it with tremendous momentum. The enemy’s Legendary powerhouses sensed it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“More enemy reinforcements?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, weren’t those two being held up by Lestat and Kian?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They broke free? Then where are Lestat and Kian?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… no… impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lords who could advance to the Legendary rank were no fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wild, unbelievable thought took root in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight lords amidst the battle felt a surge of terror; their very souls trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run for your lives!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unknown who, in their agitated and unstable state, had shouted what was truly in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight Legendary powerhouses turned and fled in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for them, their pursuer was none other than the Stoneheart Horde’s deadliest trident thrower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Orion’s eyes, these individuals were merely helpless prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, lightning boomed and echoed continuously, tridents falling like starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every flash of lightning, a lord met their demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the corpses fall in arcs, Leonidas was quite envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, your trident-throwing skill is truly exceptional!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion smiled, noncommittal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion’s intervention swiftly ended the conflict between the Legendaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purpose was simple: to reduce the attrition of his own lord-level powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because among that group of lords, Orion had sensed the auras of Gustalon, Soraya, and Clymene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he could act, Orion didn’t want them to bear any additional risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This battle should be over now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas spread his wings, transforming into his fire dragon form, his terrifying wingspan momentarily blotting out the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, Leonidas swept towards the ground, his dark shadow descending, startling countless combatants lost in the frenzy of slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonidas actually has quite a penchant for showing off! Orion muttered to himself, gaining a deeper understanding of his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker of electricity, Orion appeared at the rear of the battlefield, beside Vexis and Soraya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened to her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion reached out and gently touched Lorelia’s forehead. After fainting, she had completely lost her ability to defend herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Orion, Lorelia overexerted her spirit and fainted. She’ll likely need to sleep for some time to recover.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vexis respectfully explained Lorelia’s condition. Orion nodded, checked Lorelia’s physical state, then withdrew his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Experiencing a war of this intensity might actually be a good thing for her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion looked at Soraya, his eyes full of affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I arrived on the battlefield a day ago. My sister and I are fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning Clymene, Orion glanced towards the battlefield. She was clearing the area with other Stoneheart forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by Clymene’s aura, she had indeed successfully advanced to the Legendary level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two continue to command. I’ll be watching over you.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1081,"2026-05-29T15:49:30.653Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","8857734e1ed4bb95406b9b04d8f3671e5f38fa62489dd6a21aaee595a0f26ea7","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-745","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-743",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
