"… That's all. I'll probably need some time before I can return. How's the situation in Dounia?"
[It's not good at all. You gave us so much information and so much trouble. We're probably going to die from working overtime … Alright, to be honest, we're doing pretty well here. Several churches are trying to rope us in, so don't worry, Big Brother.]
Rorschach nodded silently. This situation was within his expectations.
Dounia was currently in a delicate balance. The Game Church, as a fence-sitter, would naturally be able to take advantage of both sides. As for whether or not the Game Church would capsize in the future, that would depend on the person at the helm.
"… Leak some information about this place to them. They'll know about it sooner or later anyway. Let your advisors think about the details. Also, I definitely won't give them out for free …"
Although Rorschach had already given up on internal affairs, he couldn't help but nag a little more.
[Don't worry, we know. We're not feeding those nerds and trash talkers for free. Big Brother, don't worry and just do your own thing. I look forward to seeing you reach level 5 when I return …]
The voice stopped abruptly, but Rorschach wasn't worried at all. Their communication had been intermittent recently, so he was already quite satisfied that they could talk for so long today.
"Next, it's time for me to do my own thing. That bastard really is greedy. Isn't he afraid that I'll mess up such an incredibly difficult task?"
Rorschach smiled wryly. He wanted something from this Titan, but he had no choice but to accept this task. And this task just so happened to be an opportunity for him to improve himself the most.
What exactly was the task?
"I'm going to steal the Thunder Titan King's divine weapon … Did he really find the right person?"
According to the Titan under the volcano, the Creator Mother had distributed the laws of nature to her Eldest Sons. The four oldest and strongest Eldest Sons were probably the leaders.
The sky was given to the most skilled warrior, Augustine. Thunder was his authority, and his job was to patrol the sky and protect the stars.
Because of his bravery, many of the Titan who were good at fighting chose to follow him. Perhaps he was not the most experienced of the Titan, but he was definitely the best at fighting.
The earth was handed over to the gray-silver elder. He was the oldest of the Titan because no one had witnessed his birth. He controlled the rules of the earth.
He and his followers were unusually low-key. They spent most of their time in the wilderness, herding the mountains and forests. They were also good at maintaining the operation of the natural order. However, once the balance of nature was broken, they would be more dangerous than Thunder.
Kukuen and Flay were a pair of twin siblings born at the same time. The former was the mild-tempered ruler of the ocean and often lived in the deep sea of Ansorenne, while the latter was the ruler of all flames and lava and lived in the volcanic region beneath the earth.
The four Juggernauts and their followers formed Titan's four great factions. This was something of the past.
The number of Titan who were still active to this day was less than a third of what it was in ancient times. Some of them had died, some were in hibernation, and some had gone missing. This included the leader of the Fire Titan, Flay.
Although the volcanic Titan did not say it clearly, Rorschach still did some calculations. The total number of Titan in Aishi was more than forty. Even if he counted all of the Titan here, it was unlikely that there were more than a hundred of them.
If only one-third of the Titan Giants could be contacted, that meant that there were probably less than thirty of them left. It would be quite tragic if the Titan Giants were defeated in a civil war. Not only that, the Titan Giants were scattered all over Anzorion. It was likely that there were even mortal enemies among the Titan Giants. It was no wonder that the Titan Giants were dispirited and discouraged.
However, it was clear that they were on the move again and intended to do something.
As for what they wanted to do, Rorschach did not know. However, it should have something to do with outsiders like him.
At least, that was what the volcanic Titan, Finnstrand, told him.
"Ancient Grace is flowing lightning. It's irresistible thunder. It's also the authority that allows Augustine to control the sky. It's the world key that Mother gave to the First Born. This land of thunder is within Ancient Grace's domain. If you want to control this half-thunder elemental plane, this Divine Artifact is absolutely necessary. "
Tsk, Titan's Divine Artifact was a physical manifestation of the world's natural laws. If news of this spread, perhaps all of Aishi would go crazy.
"Augustine has long since fallen into hibernation. Nobody knows where he hibernates. His Divine Artifact is placed in this area. The Titan Wood that you met last time is the guardian of this Divine Artifact. Meanwhile, your own path has been distorted by Wood's power. If you want to progress further, Ancient Grace may be of help to you."
"As long as you obtain the Ancient Grace, it is equivalent to obtaining Augustine's approval. Augustine should also awaken from his long slumber, and I will be able to regain my freedom and guide you on your future path."
Finnstrand said a lot, but Rorschach summed it up very simply.
It would probably be separated into four elemental planes. The Four Titan's Divine Artifacts could not be obtained. Thunder's Divine Artifact was in this wasteland. It was also guarded by the Thunder Titan Wood that they met last time.
Last time, the Aishi People courted death and awakened Wood from his hibernation. Wood, the Divine Artifact's guardian, had also entered a period of activity. At the same time, it also awakened Finnstrand who was sealed under the volcano … Rorschach guessed maliciously. Perhaps the guardian was also a jailor. The unlucky person who was imprisoned was Finnstrand.
Right now, there was a Titan who needed to redivide the elemental planes and confer titles to the Four Elemental Gods. In order to obtain the Four Great Divine Artifacts, this task was given to Finnstrand, who was the closest to him.
Finnstrand naturally handed this task to Rorschach, who discovered it … But no matter how Rorschach thought about it, he felt that this was not a task that he could accomplish.
Finnstrand probably wanted to use him to get the Aishi People's power involved and help him steal Ancient Grace.
"How much power does it take to defeat a Titan? I'm waiting online. It's urgent."
Rorschach's eyebrows furrowed as he said something that even he himself didn't find funny. His expression became more and more serious.
Where was the Divine Artifact? Finnstrand only knew that it was roughly located in this land of lightning, but the size of this land of lightning … At any rate, Roxia was unable to estimate the limit of his knowledge. The known area was more than ten times the size of the Harlet Wastelands.
The only person who knew the location of the Divine Artifact was Wood, whom Roland had met once before. Wood was the guardian of the Divine Artifact, so he definitely knew the location of the Divine Artifact.
And in order to find Wood … Rorschach would have to make an appearance.
According to Finnstrand, Rorschach had advanced in Wood's lightning domain, so he had already been infected with the lightning Titan Wood's power. He would be able to rely on the resonance between powers of the same type and element to track down the Titan Wood.
What made Rorschach hesitant wasn't the difficulty of the mission, but rather the fact that Finnstrand was the one who gave out the mission. Although everything Finnstrand said was the truth, Rorschach felt that Finnstrand wasn't telling the complete truth.
"No matter what, I have to contact Wood."
