"Is this a fishing trap? Isn't this a fishing trap!? "
"It's a bit like a badger scheme. They're all in cahoots. I didn't expect the Titan to be so sinister despite his thick eyebrows and large eyes."
"We really suffered a huge loss this time …"
Even though they had already left the battlefield for more than six hours, and only a dozen or so unlucky people had been injured on the battlefield, everyone still felt a lingering fear as they recalled the previous scene.
They laughed, chatted, and even joked around … all in order to dispel the dark clouds from before.
They felt powerless, as powerless as infants. In front of the powerful upper echelons of the food chain, these warriors who had experienced countless life and death situations were nothing more than rookies on the chopping block.
The more experienced a warrior was, the more disgusted or even hateful this situation would be. The feeling of helplessness when one's life was in the hands of another was the most despairing feeling.
If the Titan had intended to give the Aishi People a show of strength, then they had achieved their goal.
100%, without any discount, perfectly … infuriated the Aishi People.
"Defeat the wild beasts, then tame them and make them our prey, then give them two pieces of meat to eat … Do these barbarians think we're shameless wild dogs or scavenging hyenas?"
Perhaps according to the Titan's train of thought, this was how they dealt with "small creatures" and "mortals." They would first give them a show of strength, then say a few nice words to appease them, and give them some leftovers to make these "small creatures" work for them.
But this time, the situation was somewhat different. The Aishi People weren't like Ansorenne, who hadn't seen much of the world.
"Did you have prior contact with Titan Wood? Why would we come looking for him if he didn't come by himself? "
Rorschach only needed to ask this question, and Titan's long silence as the answer, to know everything.
Even if the two Titan Wood and Titan Wood weren't on the same side, they were at least in contact with each other. That was to say, this Titan Wood had been waiting for them all this time so that he could beat them up.
That was why Wood kept his strength in check and didn't use his spatial abilities to kill them all.
Then, he made his request, an order from the strong to the weak.
This was probably Titan's way of asking for help.
Perhaps in their eyes, the one with the biggest fist was the absolute truth. With Titan's strength here, they naturally had to serve him.
It was no wonder that some people said that this was a trap. From the perspective of the people of Eich, the Volcanic Titan Titan first provided the wrong information, which then led them into a trap.
A series of violent beatings was a show of strength, forcing people to do things.
As the First Born of the Creator, they had been at the top of the world for a long time and indeed had the confidence to be arrogant. To the ordinary citizens of Ansorenne, they were the Lords of the World who could control everything. But this time, the situation was different from what they had expected.
The people of Eich didn't submit to an unstoppable force. On the contrary, they didn't even try to hide their dissatisfaction and anger. Most of the churches and the board of directors of New Donia City directly refused to further communicate with them.
"Heh, do you think we've never seen a truly strong person? The Main Gods of the Aishi have already built their own worlds and divine kingdoms among the stars. The great existences of the universe and the evil gods are fighting in countless worlds. How can they be compared to you, a native of a world? "
Of course, not all of the churches chose to leave. They still needed to gather the necessary information. A small group of people stayed behind, intending to listen to Titan's conditions and gather some information.
But at least for now, Titan's first encounter with the Aishi People couldn't be considered a happy one. Both sides didn't fight for real … simply because the Aishi People couldn't defeat them.
Not only was this not the end, it was most likely just the beginning.
Rorschach also stayed behind. His expression wasn't good either, but there were some things that still needed to be done.
The warriors left angrily, but the politicians and merchants still had to fight for benefits.
And after the incident, although Titan expressed his sincerity in cooperating with them, his bad behavior at the beginning was destined to cause this so-called cooperation to be full of twists and turns.
Perhaps the Titan would never have imagined that their usual domineering behavior had already given the Aishi People an extremely bad impression. Even if the two sides cooperated again, it was likely that they would only be trading partners, and not allies as they had originally intended.
But Rorschach, whose expression wasn't good either, also obtained the conditions that the volcano Titan had given him.
The Titan's internal war hadn't actually stopped. But due to the decline of their population, they had been in a state of mutual hostility for a long time without any real action.
Of the four Titan rulers, the leader of the Thunder Titan, Augustine, had entered a long-term deep sleep for some reason. But as the ruler of the Ansorenne skies, his consciousness could move freely in this world.
Not long ago, Augustine had given an order to rebuild the Four Elemental Planes and open the Dimensional Door.
In order to achieve this goal, he believed that he could cooperate with his brothers from the Aishi People. After all, the number of Titan living in this world was far too small.
Titan Wood was his brother as well as his bodyguard, so he naturally became the executioner of his will.
But Wood didn't believe that these weak creatures had the qualifications to touch Titan's authority, so he came up with such a plan.
"Trials are the only way to reach a higher level."
That was probably what he intended to say.
"First of all, you have to prove that you have the courage and determination to face all powerful enemies. Yep, since you have the courage to face me, I'll recognize your courage. As long as you complete my mission, I'll give you Ancient Grace. "
Then, he intended to put forward three trial requirements. As for the gray elder that he had proposed at the beginning … Even the Titan had learned to ask for an exorbitant price before bargaining.
Rorschach heard all this and noted it down, but he didn't believe it.
It sounded good, but there were many things missing. For example, what role did the volcano Titan play, and why did he say that he was once an earth Titan?
And when it came to the gray elder that was the mortal enemy of the earth Titan, he didn't know anything. He only repeatedly emphasized that the earth Titan had been corrupted by the Evil Gods and was the mortal enemy of all life.
Titan Wood's slow and dull voice and his arrogant attitude made it even more difficult to communicate with him.
Since the first meeting between the two sides wasn't very pleasant, they ended up having a breakdown as they talked.
Still, this was a natural development.
The Aishi People needed time to judge the situation and decide whether or not to participate in such a troublesome matter that would give them a headache. They also needed time to decide what to do next. Titan Wood was still doubting whether these "weak" creatures could really help his boss, and doubting whether the Aishi People had the qualifications to participate in such a major world event.
Both sides lacked the sincerity to further communicate, trade, and cooperate. Most importantly, there was only hostility and wariness. They lacked the most basic trust, so naturally, the negotiations fell apart.
But in the end, Titan Wood's three trial requirements were still brought back to Vila Nova Dônia.
Moreover, Wood bluntly said that they couldn't use the trial to prove the Aishi People's abilities. They couldn't even think about the Divine Equipment, and the Aishi People lacked the motivation to further communicate.
