Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 627: There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world

In a war between two realms, as long as Edward seizes the opportunity to act amidst the chaos, the war between the Titanion Realm and the Emerald Dream Realm could reverse at any time, undergoing unknown changes.

Orion extended his palm, shamelessly making a gesture requesting precious materials.

After a moment of speechless exchange, a silk bag came from the other side of the void passage and landed in Orion's hand.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Some words, some intelligence, certainly couldn't be free.

"Is there a difference between victory and defeat?"

"In the end, both these worlds will face a great final battle, and the Blind Spiders clan will also face its own final battle."

"At that time, are you certain your clan can survive the final battle?"

This was Orion's deduction based on Lolth's words.

Regardless of the final outcome, minor lords and tribes like them would be annihilated.

Without exaggeration, most of the demigods and arch lords in the Emerald Dream Realm had surely already secured fallback plans for themselves and their clans(tribes).

What they were currently fighting for was the right to survive and reside in the Titanion Realm.

It was even possible that some demigod beings couldn't wait for the Emerald Dream Realm to quickly perish, so they could step out at the last moment to reap benefits.

The world essence of a complete world—let alone demigods, even gods would be tempted.

"Choose to follow us, and I guarantee the Blind Spiders will surely be preserved, and even grow stronger."

"If you have ambition, you could even strive to climb higher, perhaps aiming for arch lord status."

At the critical moment, Orion, King of Giants, was making grand promises again.

The fact that Lolth, the Spider Queen, could raise the previous questions already indicated one thing.

In her heart, she had already accepted the matter of surrender.

Lolth's current questioning was merely an attempt to find ways to know more, understand more, thereby reinforcing the choice in her heart.

However, some matters Orion would never reveal unless she became one of them. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Lolth fell silent once more. She had to admit that Orion's speculations were very likely to come true.

Without a demigod powerhouse to rely on, legendary-level lords and races like them were highly likely to become cannon fodder, or even sacrificial offerings, in the future.

The silence lasted a long time. Orion sighed inwardly; Lolth not agreeing immediately showed she was indeed very cautious and wise.

...

Shadowcrag Forest, unnamed valley.

The Splitting Hyenas' territory was occupied by the troops led by Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul. Most of the Splitting Hyenas residing here became mounts for the bloodline warriors in the armies.

Hyena King Gravehowl's splitting ability was a special bloodline trait allowing one to fight many; everyone was very satisfied with such a rare mount.

As for the Splitting Hyenas that died, they were about to become offerings for this graveyard.

"They said they want to convert this valley into a burial ground, but there aren't enough corpses yet."

"Next, with the help of the hyenas, we need to sweep through all the dark creatures nearby."

The speaker was Drakthul. Before coming, Orion had instructed him to do his best to meet the requests of the several necromancers.

At this moment, Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul stood at the earthen wall by the valley entrance. Since occupying this place, their three armies had been responsible for constructing a tall earthen wall here.

The wall wasn't built for defense, but for concealment, to block the view of most spying dark creatures and unknown enemies.

"It's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if we had to fight against such undead armies."

Gronthar sighed. The more he fought alongside these skeletons, the more appalled he became by the combat power of these undead armies.

They weren't immortal, but their numbers increased the more they fought; they rose on the battlefield without a shred of fear.

Such an enemy was too terrifying.

"These skeletons can not only go into battle, but they can also dig and labor, and they don't ask for wages."

Earthshaker watched the skeleton warriors in the valley continuously digging earth and tossing corpses into deep pits to bury them, sighing with mixed feelings.

"Once those four beings initiate the dead lands conversion and set up the summoning magical formation, it will be time for us to go out and sweep the area."

"We must complete the task My lord assigned us, ensuring both quality and quantity."

Gronthar and Drakthul both nodded; they thought the same.

Having finally received a mission from Orion, they certainly didn't want to mess it up.

"Obsidian City has officially become the Prophet's fiefdom. Do you think the Prophet has taken that final step?"

During the casual chat, Gronthar brought up Onyx, who had advanced to Alpha peak and been granted a territory.

As a giant originating from the Black Forest, Gronthar paid close attention to Onyx.

One could even say Onyx was Gronthar's role model, as well as his competitor.

Before Orion unified the Black Forest, the obsidian golems and giants were evenly matched.

Therefore, Gronthar had always believed he was no worse than Onyx.

"Don't know. Probably not!"

"If the Prophet had taken that step, even during wartime, the horde would hold a celebration. That's our tradition."

Earthshaker sighed. Onyx had always been ahead of them, giving them a target to chase.

For a long time, a competitive race had formed among many tribes within the horde.

Among the Alpha-level elders, Onyx was the strongest, with Dirtclaw currently ranked second.

However, the horde then saw the emergence of Soraya and Lumi, the two Wardens.

These were two great mountains weighing down on everyone.

Yet these two mountains were right before their eyes, tangible existences they could see and touch.

And this seemed to redefine the goal for everyone, suddenly expanding their futures.

"This is another world, dark source crystals are everywhere. I believe it won't be long before the three of us can catch up to the Prophet."

"When that time comes, we'll strive for Legendary level together."

This was Drakthul's wild ambition, and also that of Earthshaker and Gronthar.

The void passage. Someone was bored stiff.

With no response from Lolth the Spider Queen, Orion immersed part of his mind into the Survivor's Platform.

Hulk: "That's what I said. Now she's not talking, still no result."

Hulk: "However, I estimate she's thought it through enough, and has mustered sufficient resolve."

Orion shared his previous conversation with Lolth with his allies in the Champions Alliance.

For matters like this, having more people thinking about it increased the possibilities.

Perhaps others had better rhetoric; if Orion just learned from them, maybe he could get Lolth to surrender?

Besides, for something concerning everyone's invasion plan, Orion didn't mind indirectly sharing the pressure.
