Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 617: Why not?

Edward: "So that's how it is!"

Edward: "Combining the intelligence relayed back to me by the owl, I know what's going on!"

Edward: "The Emerald Dream Realm is corrupted!"

Champions Alliance public channel. While Orion guarded the Void Passage, he took a moment to share the relevant intelligence obtained from Red Moon Valley and Shadowcrag Forest in the Emerald Dream Realm with the other members of the alliance.

Especially the matter of several cave spiders transforming into dark creatures caused everyone listening to frown.

Leonidas: "Deputy Commander, do you mean that if our subordinates descend there, they will also be corrupted and transform into dark creatures?"

Leonidas was very worried because most of his tribesmen and subordinates were beasts.

Didn't that mean the Emerald Dream Realm was inaccessible to him?

Edward: "Actually, using 'corrupted' to describe it isn't entirely accurate!"

Edward: "The dark aura of the Emerald Dream Realm is a kind of rule. It's likely that some powerful demigod or evil existence fused their own rules into the Emerald Dream Realm."

Within the Champions Alliance, the Commander was constantly asleep. The only one capable of figuring out some semblance of the beginning and end of events was Deputy Commander Edward.

Looking at the explanation given by Deputy Commander Edward, Orion fell into deep thought.

Rules—that was another form of power he couldn't yet touch. freёwebnoѵel.com

Edward: "Therefore, creatures residing in the Emerald Dream Realm, over a long period, will naturally transform into dark creatures."

Edward: "Adapting to the natural environment is the instinct of every living being."

Edward: "Based on the example Hulk provided, I speculate that the weaker the strength, the lower the intelligence, the easier it is to be converted."

This speculation allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

At the very least, experts at the Legendary level and above needn't worry.

Because it was impossible for them to stay in the Emerald Dream Realm for extended periods.

Alexander: "Have you tried using a Purification Tower to dispel that dark aura?"

Hulk: "Haven't tried!"

This was good news!

The question raised by Alexander made Orion's eyes light up; he really wanted to return to Soraya City immediately to try it out.

Edward: "A Purification Tower should be effective. The Dark Source Crystal Hulk traded to me—I tried consuming it. Divine power can indeed dispel the dark force contained within."

Edward truly lived up to his title as Deputy Commander; in some matters, he was always a step ahead of everyone else.

Leonidas: "Then, should we still invade the Emerald Dream Realm or not?"

This was Leonidas's primary concern, and also the primary concern of Orion, Kraken, and Alexander.

Everyone fell silent, all awaiting Deputy Commander Edward's decision.

If Edward disagreed with the invasion plan, Orion would absolutely withdraw all armies after the foreign race conquest concluded and directly destroy the cross-realm teleportation array in the Underworld.

Edward: "Why not?"

Just as everyone was growing somewhat impatient, the Deputy Commander's single sentence allowed everyone, especially Orion, to finally relax.

After all, Orion had invested the most time and manpower into this invasion.

Edward: "However, the invasion plan needs to be modified."

Leonidas: "I knew it! The Deputy Commander hadn't finished speaking."

Alexander: "Puppy, don't interrupt!"

Kraken: "Big boss, let's first hear Deputy Commander sir's plan."

Orion didn't speak. The interjections from Leonidas, Alexander, and Kraken considerably eased the atmosphere.

Edward: "Firstly, everyone must understand one point: from the moment it was corrupted by the evil dark aura, the final outcome for the Emerald Dream Realm is definitely destruction."

Edward: "The best possible outcome for the Emerald Dream Realm is to degenerate into a stretch of Godforsaken Land."

No one spoke; everyone waited for the Deputy Commander to continue his 'lecture'.

Edward: "From the Dark Source Crystal, it can be seen that the dark aura of the Emerald Dream Realm is impure. Its ultimate goal is to completely transform the Emerald Dream Realm into a world shrouded in darkness."

Edward: "Powers of the same origin and attribute are the most easily absorbed."

This final sentence struck like a thunderclap, leaving the heads of the several Champions Alliance members buzzing.

Orion was no exception. Seeing the Deputy Commander's last sentence, a terrifying image appeared in Orion's mind.

An unfamiliar, evil supreme being opened its mouth, took a light breath, and sucked the completely transformed Emerald Dream Realm into its maw.

Countless living beings wailed amidst that inhalation, then turned into nutrients.

Absorbing an entire world alive—too terrifying!

Thinking of this, Orion couldn't help but shiver.

Leonidas: "My heavens, too scary!"

Kraken: "Big boss, I don't know why, but I have a sense of déjà vu, like the end of the world is coming."

Alexander: "Godforsaken Lands come about just like this!"

Hulk: "I just shuddered!"

Truthfully, the members who hadn't yet become demigods were all frightened to varying degrees.

Edward: "Continue invading the Emerald Dream Realm. It's a cake that's almost ready, complete with cream and chocolate. We must also go get a share of the spoils."

Within the Deputy Commander's speech hid a kind of excitement, and also the idea of plundering resources.

Of course, in the eyes of Orion and the others, this was simply a form of enticement.

Edward: "However, we will no longer occupy the land there, nor rule that world, but rather plunder all resources there."

Edward: "Before that evil being makes its move, strive to empty the Emerald Dream Realm of its precious resources."

This was the plan Deputy Commander Edward reformulated for the group, pointing out the ultimate goal of the invasion.

Plunder the resources of the Emerald Dream Realm, including but not limited to Dark Source Crystals, minerals, magical plants, biological species... even the World Essence condensed upon the Emerald Dream Realm's final destruction.

Leonidas: "Meaning, we'll also be joining the ranks of destroying a world?"

Alexander: "Plundering resources will surely accelerate the Emerald Dream Realm's transformation, speeding up the pace of destruction."

Kraken: "Shouldn't we be reveling wildly?"

Hulk: "Everyone, don't you feel the slightest bit of guilt?"

...

Valkorath Realm, Western Battlefield.

Here was a young girl riding upon the back of a colossal dragon; she was Isabella.

At this moment, Isabella wore an absent-minded expression.

Invading another world, evil beings, dark rules, plundering resources, destroying worlds... This series of keywords constantly tumbled through Isabella's mind, leaving her feeling agitated and confused.

"Compared to these people, my father is simply too kind!"

Finally, after uttering such a sentence, Isabella slowly returned to her senses.

During the discussion just now, Isabella had remained silent throughout.

After learning about the strength and backing factions of the other team members, Isabella felt that her previous remarks in the public channel had been extremely rude.

Simultaneously, Isabella also understood that this invasion of the otherworld would surely have no share for her.

Firstly, her strength was insufficient. If she truly forced her descent to invade, the possibility of being killed was very high.

Secondly, the armies under her command capable of participating in the invasion were not numerous; she lacked manpower.

Lastly, just expelling the remaining fungal creatures in the Valkorath Realm was a task she couldn't complete anytime soon.
