"We don't have much time left. It's time for us to make a decision. Please give us your answer."
While the entire mortal plane was in chaos, the winged messengers were busy as well. Solo had already cursed his unscrupulous colleagues countless times, but all the Gods felt that being a diplomatic envoy was their natural duty.
"… What God of Messengers? I'm clearly the Guardian of Bards! I'm not a professional errand boy! I'm the God of Inspiration for artists! "
But from a certain standpoint, since Solo was always on various diplomatic missions, outsiders had long since forgotten about his identity as Aillé's messenger. Quite a few had forgotten about his true job.
And now, as a messenger, Solo had already fulfilled his duty and stated his side's request for a contract. However, the other side of the contract was quite hesitant.
Yet, Solo was negotiating with two gigantic existences that represented two major factions. Even though a God's incarnation was as large as a giant's, he was still nothing more than a tiny mosquito in front of these two existences.
The stronger a giant was, the larger it would be. This seemed to be a Titan species' tradition. Compared to his own species, the Titan King was also the largest. The fourth-ranked Titan, Yins, actually reached up to his waist. The current Solo was nothing more than a tiny mosquito in front of the Titan King's eyelashes.
The Titan King's ancient appearance and well-built body were as perfect as a statue. His simple armor only covered some of his vitals. Rather than calling it a weapon, it was more like a decoration for a statue.
The Titan King stood there as if he were a God from another generation. However, nobody would actually treat him as a statue. That was because he was surrounded by lightning and storms. Just the energy level of his existence far surpassed any so-called forbidden spell. The lightning that could destroy an entire city silently flowed around him like a slowly flowing stream. However, the lightning didn't leak out in the slightest.
The Titan King's ancient and serious expression didn't reveal any emotion when faced with Solo's question. It was just that the Titan King and his tribe were currently in a terrible situation. The entire sky was filled with holes and cracks, and the ground was constantly cracking. Numerous small mountains were floating in midair. The entire world seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
"Titan King, you should know what Lord Aillé wants. Our time is limited, so please make a decision as soon as possible."
That's right, "Titan" was his name. In the ancient language, it meant "the tallest and largest person". Obviously, he completely fulfilled this standard.
As the first Titan, Titan naturally became his name. All the other Titans called him Elder Brother. He was the most ancient Son of the Earth, the eldest son of the Goddess of Order, and the strongest warrior of the Immemorial Era.
In terms of strength, as the most powerful existence in ancient times, he was definitely not any weaker than the current so-called Main Gods even if he had been sealed for a long time. In fact, in the entire Titan race, there were definitely two or three Main Gods who had reached the standard of a Main God in terms of combat prowess.
Yep, just by looking at combat strength, the Titans had never feared any so-called Gods. In fact, there was even a saying that the Titans were the original form of the Ancient Gods, and that the Creator Goddess had used the Titans as a template to create the original Gods.
The Titans usually had their own unique natural talents. Some of their natural talents were no weaker than the Gods' natural laws. But compared to the various Gods, the Titans' greatest advantage was their ability to fight. The Titan King Yins, who was ranked fourth, and the Titan King Harley, who was ranked second, were able to suppress the Gods' incarnations with their own power levels.
In ancient legends, not only were the Titans the best artists and architects in all the planes, they were also the strongest warriors under the command of the Creator Goddesses of Order. The Titans were enemies with all sorts of demons from other planes, while the Gods were the ones who controlled the dimensional laws of the planes. It could be said that they were civil officials who wouldn't easily enter the battlefield. It was a tradition for the Titans to look down on the Gods since they loved to fight. How could a weak civil official in a high position possibly get along with a military official who spent most of his time on the frontlines?
Ever since there was a shortcut to becoming a God through faith, there were more and more powerful Gods and even Main Gods. But in ancient times where the Titans only relied on their own cultivation, the Titans' combat strength far surpassed the so-called Ancient Gods'. They were unwilling to submit to the rule of the weak, which was why the Titans finally rebelled against the Goddess of Order's "Order".
These existences who reached the peak through cultivation and combat also looked down on the so-called Main Gods and powerful Gods. Actually, if a battle really broke out, it would be difficult to say who would win.
Finally, the collapse of the entire Dragon World and the Titans' fear caused the Titan King to be unable to remain silent any longer. His low voice sounded like thunder.
"Such dirty schemes and such sly methods. This isn't Aillé's style."
Since Titan was willing to speak up, there was room for negotiation. Solo was secretly delighted, but he didn't reveal any of this on his face.
"Yep, Boss Aillé has a rather direct personality, so he wouldn't use such underhanded methods. However, the mastermind behind this plan is our little bro. His reputation is as bad as his hands. As long as the results are good, he's never afraid of dirtying his hands … Just look, as long as you agree to our conditions, won't the final result be excellent? "
Solo unhesitatingly sold out Roland, even though Roland definitely wouldn't mind …
Currently, the Titan King sunk into deep thought. As the leader of the Titan Tribe, he definitely wasn't as brash as he appeared to be. In fact, it was the opposite. In the past, the Titan King had a good relationship with the ancient humans, and he even had some friendship with Aillé.
The fact that the Titan Tribe was able to survive up until now without any internal strife and internal strife meant that he had excellent leadership abilities as the Titan Tribe's leader. This wasn't something that could be achieved through power alone.
The Titan King was incredibly intelligent. He was the one who had his brothers create an incarnation from the Titan Tribe's stone statue to travel around the mortal plane. This was so that the Titan Tribe would be able to escape from the mortal plane. Even though the Titan Tribe had been sealed, he had made many plans. Unfortunately, none of them had been used.
The Titan King could sense that this mortal plane was no longer connected to the other planes. It was still possible to enter from another plane, but it was almost impossible to leave. Also, the mortal plane was collapsing thousands of times faster than he had expected. There wasn't much time left.
The Titan King knew that it would be impossible for the Titans to leave this mortal plane since they didn't have the coordinates to the other planes. Even if the strongest of the Titans were able to leave, it would be impossible for the giants' descendants to escape.
Although the entire Dragon World was collapsing, the Titan King and his tribe were protected by the Titans. The land around them didn't seem to be shaken at all. However, everyone knew that once the entire world was destroyed, even if they were able to survive and maintain a simple ecosystem, they would have to use up all their resources and supplies in the endless void.
Everyone knew that the Titans had no path of retreat. That was why a devil messenger came to take advantage of the situation … and he even brought an offer that the Titans couldn't refuse.
"Little lizard, what's your decision?"
The negotiations between the three sides reached an impasse. The Titan King looked towards the other side who was also in the same situation. Not long ago, the two sides had been mortal enemies.
Supreme Immemorial Gold Dragon Loft was the ancestor of the Immemorial Gold Dragon Horus. He was also one of the most ancient existences in Dragon World. However, even though he was large enough to cover an entire city, he was only the size of a palm in front of the original Titan King.
The Titans had always looked down on Dragons. Even the giants, one of their species, dared to challenge the dragons. How could a pure Titan King possibly respect the dragons?
You want to be respected? Sure, show me your true power and invite all the older dragons who had experienced the ancient God Wars to come out.
Perhaps Supreme Immemorial Gold Dragon Loft was the oldest, the oldest, and the strongest existence among the Dragons. However, compared to the most ancient Titan King, Loft would probably be killed by one or two slaps.
"Venerated God of Artists, I represent Dragon City and agree to all of your conditions."
The old dragon pretended that he didn't hear the Titan King's words at all. He turned around and nodded directly at Solo, which meant that he agreed to the contract.
Since one of the three sides agreed to the contract first, the other side would naturally be forced into a passive position.
"That's great. The Dragon Clan is indeed the most sensible and intelligent clan."
The handsome Solo smiled brightly as he praised the Titan King. Judging from the results, he had already completed half of his mission.
"It's just as that guy said. As long as there's a threat to their lives, Dragons will have no morals at all. That's what the little guy thinks."
The one-eyed Titan King laughed strangely. His diamond-like eye seemed to see through everything. He was the ancestor of the one-eyed giants — "Argus the Mind Reader."
He was able to read even the thoughts of a God's incarnation. This was more than enough to prove how powerful and unreasonable the Titan King's natural talents were. Argus was currently laughing strangely as he said this, but then he frowned, because he read what Solo had added in his own mind.
"So what if you've seen through everything? Refuse if you dare. It must be fun to watch all of you starve to death in the void, big idiot. "You actually dare to laugh at us? I …"
Argus' angry roar was stopped by the Titan King. Such anger was meaningless. The Titan King had long since seen through everything. Right now, it wasn't the Aillé faction that needed "help", but the Titan King!
The Titan King and the Titan King had completely different conditions. How could they negotiate? This wasn't a negotiation from the very start. This was a negotiation to give the Titan King a way out of this embarrassing situation, forcing the Titan King to obey the Titan King's arrangements.
The Titan Kings had never been good-tempered, but they weren't idiots either. Currently, the Titan Kings were releasing all sorts of pressure that made Solo's incarnation, who only had SemiGod combat power, feel quite uncomfortable. Solo had a bitter expression on his face, as if he couldn't bear the Titan Kings' pressure. He had given the Titan Kings enough face, but deep down, he admired his daring companion even more. Solo had even dared to threaten and extort the powerful Titan Kings.
"So what if you're undefeatable in the world? Since you've lost the initiative and allowed me to make all sorts of arrangements, won't they just obediently become my chess pieces? "
Roland's words were still echoing in Solo's ears. It was evident that the one-eyed Titan King also heard Roland's words. However, he knew that saying such words would only make his own Titan King even more embarrassed, so he could only vent his anger on the shaking ground.
Argus viciously pounded the ground. He even tried to uproot the surrounding mountains and cause an earthquake, just like in the past. However, he only managed to pound a few times before his own Titan King stopped him. This revealed to the Titan Kings that the Titan Kings' territory was unstable, and that the Titan Kings wouldn't be able to last for much longer.
Using an appropriate amount of forcefulness would also make it easier for the Titan Kings to negotiate. Although the Titan Kings' expressions became quite grim, they at least knew to throw away their pride and save some precious time.
"… Even if we're facing destruction, we won't submit to the weak. We hope to obtain the Titan King's recognition. At the very least, we need him to defeat his enemies by himself and prove that he has the ability to become the ruler of the Chaos Dimension."
The Titan King's voice was quite deep, but it was powerful. This was his bottom line. If Aillé and Roland couldn't prove that they had the ability to fight against the Order Faction and the Chaos Faction, then he definitely wouldn't join this doomed ship.
"That's reasonable."
This was also what Aillé had expected. Solo nodded and reached out with his hand, gathering the light of a contract.
"As long as Roland obtains victory in this battle and successfully creates the Hell of Hades, the Titan Kings shall become the Guardian Gods of the 'Land of Spring' and 'Heaven of Hades', protecting all life in these two lands."
That's right, this was the job that Roland had arranged for the Titans. They would be the Guardian Gods of the Land of Spring, which would allow all life to flourish. They would also be the Guardian Gods of the Heaven of Hades, which would allow some Gods and kind-hearted people to live in.
Just the Hell of Hades alone would be impossible to create an independent world of its own. According to the God of Law's teachings, the wicked would go to Hell to atone for their sins, while the kind-hearted would naturally go to Heaven to enjoy their blessings. Only Hell and Purgatory would be unable to create a complete cycle.
"In order to replace the Cycle of Reincarnation, I'll naturally need a complete Cycle of Reincarnation."
The Dragon World of Hades was about to be completely separated from the other planes. Any living that entered the land of the dead would never be able to return alive. That was why Roland had created a temporary "mortal world" — the Land of Spring. This would give the living a place to live and give souls that had atoned for their sins the possibility of entering the Cycle of Reincarnation again.
As for the Heaven of Hades, it would probably only be enough for a few Aillé Gods who weren't on duty to enter. It would probably take a long time before the Heaven of Hades would be truly useful. However, that wouldn't stop Roland from adding it to his contract with the Titan Kings.
"Yep, this is what you call taking advantage of me. Since you've boarded my ship, you'll naturally have to work for me. What? You're saying that you didn't voluntarily board my ship? Fine, get off the ship now. The endless void is waiting for you. "From a certain standpoint, Roland is truly going overboard."
Alright then, Roland was furious to the point of being unable to vent his anger. The pitiful one-eyed giant began pounding the ground with his head. Since then, he firmly remembered the name "Roland" in his mind.
The contract with the Dragons was about the same as Roland's contract, but it was actually even harsher than the contract with the Titan Kings. But when considering the difference in power between the Titans and the Titan Kings, as well as the fact that Roland wasn't involved, it was likely that the Titan Kings would start eating dragon meat right now. The Dragons could only smile and agree to this unfair contract before gritting their teeth and swallowing it down.
Solo had just heaved a sigh of relief after completing his mission when he saw a meteor suddenly descending from the sky. His heart tightened.
Although the allied Gods had arrived, this also meant that Roland had completely fallen out with the Order Faction. Not only that, it also meant that Roland's plan had entered its most critical juncture. Success or failure would be decided here.
"It's time."
