Chapter 449: Contract with the Powerful
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
"We don't have much time left . It's time for you to make a choice . Please give me your answer . "
As the entire mortal plane sunk into utter chaos and winged messengers busily flitted around everywhere, Solo had already cursed his shameless companions countless times . It was as if all the other Gods felt that his Divine Concept included Messengers, which it didn't .
"…I'm no God of Messengers! I'm clearly the Guardian God of Bards! I'm not a professional messenger! I'm the God of Art and Music, the muse for all artists and musicians!"
But from a certain standpoint, since he had been sent out on too many messenger and diplomacy tasks already, outsiders now saw Solo's identity as being the personal messenger representing Ayer . Quite a few had actually forgotten his original job .
And right now, Solo was acting as a messenger yet again . He delivered his side's proposal for the contract, but the side he was offering the contract to was rather hesitant .
Solo was currently negotiating with two behemoths that represented two major factions in Dragon World . Although the size of Solo's incarnation was already gigantic, he was still nothing more than a tiny mosquito in front of these existences .
The more powerful a Titan was, the larger he or she would be . That was a trait of the Titans . And, compared to his fellow Titans, the Titan King was the largest one of them all . The fourth-ranked Titan, Yins, reached only up to his waist . Solo was nothing more than a tiny mosquito the size of his eyelash .
The Titan King's ancient features and beautiful body were just like a perfect sculpture . His simple armor only covered the weakest parts on his body . Rather than calling what he wore defensive equipment, it looked more like decorative attire .
He stood there unmoving, as if he was a divine sculpture from the ancient generation . However, nobody would truly think that he was a sculpture, as thunder and windstorms swirled all around his body . Just the energy level of this alone far surpassed all so-called forbidden spells in the world . This furious thunder capable of destroying any city easily was actually quietly streaming around him, as if it was a quiet river stream . It showed no signs of power leakage whatsoever .
When faced with Solo's question, the Titan King's ancient and serious face appeared expressionless . However, the situation for the Titan King and his tribe was quite terrible at the moment . Everywhere around them, holes and cracks could be seen in the sky itself . The ground was constantly cracking as small pieces of mountains started floating in midair . The entire world was nearing total collapse around them .
"Lord Titan, you now know what Death God Ayer wishes for . Our time is limited, so please make your choice soon . "
That's right, "Titan" was also the name of the Titan King . In their ancient language, the word "Titan" meant "the largest and strongest individual" . Evidently, Titan completely fit the meaning of the word "Titan" .
So as the first Titan, Titan naturally became his name . All the other Titans addressed Titan as "Eldest Brother" . He was the most ancient child of the earth, the oldest son of the Goddess of Order, and the strongest warrior of them all in the Supreme Immemorial generation .
To assess his current power level, despite the fact that being sealed away for so long would somewhat diminish his strength, he wouldn't be any weaker than any so-called Main God of today as he was the strongest existence of his time . In fact, over the entire Titan species, if you only looked at combat strength, there would definitely be two or three that could reach the level of Main God .
Yep, the Titans would never fear the so-called Gods when it came to combat strength . In fact, there was even a saying that the Titans were the original models from which the ancient Gods were based on, that the Creator Goddess had used them as the model to create the first Gods .
The Titans all had their own unique natural talent abilities . These abilities were typically comparable with or even better than the Concepts that Gods had control over . But, compared to the varied number of Gods out there, the Titans' greatest advantage was that they were exceedingly capable fighters . Yins, the fourth-ranked Titan, and Hatley, who wasn't even in the top ten of Titans, had managed to use their incarnations to absolutely suppress the True Gods' incarnations in the battle at Oak Town .
In the ancient legends, not only were Titans the most skilled artists and architects in all the planes, they were also the most powerful guardians for the Goddesses of Order and Chaos . The Titans fought against all sorts of demonic beasts from other dimensions, while the Gods were the masters of the dimensional laws . The Gods back then were just like civil officials that would rarely partake in actual physical fighting, which was the root cause behind why the Titans, who loved to fight on a daily basis, looked down on the Gods . How could a weak civil official in a high position possibly get along well with a warrior general who was constantly on the frontlines?
Ever since the ability to ascend to Godhood through power of belief appeared, powerful Gods, including Main Gods, started appearing more and more often . Yet back in the Supreme Immemorial generation, the Titans had relied purely on self-cultivation to achieve a combat strength which far surpassed the ancient Gods . And, they were unwilling to submit to the rule of those they viewed as weaker than themselves, which was why they finally rebelled against the Goddess of Order's view of "Order" .
And even now, these Titans that had reached the peak through actual battles and self-cultivation would still look down on all the so-called Main Gods that obtained their powers through belief or the High Gods of today . And to be honest, if the Titans really fought against the True Gods of today, it would be difficult to say who would win and who would lose .
Finally, the entire Dragon World's collapse and the Titans' fear finally caused the Titan King to no longer be able to remain silent . His deeply booming voice was like thunder .
"Such a dirty scheme and such sly tactics aren't Ayer's style . "
Since he was willing to talk, that meant there was a chance at negotiation . Solo was delighted inside but didn't allow that to be revealed in his expression .
"Yep, Boss Ayer's personality is quite direct . He wouldn't use such little tricks . Still, one of our younger brothers came up with this scheme . His reputation is just as black as his hands are . As long as the result goes well, he's never afraid to get his hands dirty… Just think about it . As long as you promise to contract with us and agree to our conditions, won't the end result be quite beneficial for you?"
Solo unhesitatingly sold out Roland as the mastermind of this scheme, although Roland wouldn't have minded to begin with…
At this moment, Titan sunk into deep contemplation . As the leader of his entire tribe, he was no brawny musclehead like what he appeared to be . In fact, things were the opposite . In the ancient past, he even had a good relationship with the first generation of humans and was acquainted with Ayer as well .
The Titans had survived even until today and had never even once had an internal conflict amongst themselves despite having suffered numerous setbacks before . This was the best evidence that his leadership abilities were outstanding . This was something that couldn't be achieved with power alone .
The gigantic Titan was quite wise as well . Titan was the one who had his juniors send out incarnations to act in the mortal plane, making preparations for after they broke free from their seal . And even while sealed, Titan came up with many plans for what to do after they all broke free . But unfortunately, not a single one of his plans was usable in this current situation .
Titan could sense that this dimension had already become severed from all other dimensions . It would still be possible to enter this dimension from other dimensions, but leaving here was now basically impossible . And, the dimension was also collapsing at a rate that was one thousand times faster than what Titan expected . He didn't have much time to think at all .
Titan knew that it would be impossible for the Titans to leave this plane as they didn't have dimensional coordinates for any other dimensions . Although it might still be possible for himself and a few of the strongest Titans to escape and survive in the void, all the other Titans and their bloodlines' descendants would be doomed .
The entire Dragon World was collapsing . But due to the Titans' protection, the land that they stood on didn't appear to even shake one bit . Yet, everyone here knew that when Dragon World collapsed entirely, even if they still managed to survive the dimension's collapse and maintain a simple ecosystem here, they would end up using up all their resources and supplies in the void .
Everyone knew that the Titans had no other path to survival now . And so, a devil took advantage of this opportunity and made them an offer with conditions that were impossible to refuse .
"Little lizard, what will you decide?"
This was actually a three-way negotiation that had reached a stalemate . Titan glanced over at the other faction that was in the same situation as him, even though this faction had been mortal enemies with his own just not long ago .
