Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 628: She has no choice

Leonidas: "Big guy, I have high hopes for you. You're going to be the world's best sales master; you could probably sell a pen for the price of a car."

Alexander: "Heh, he hasn't even advanced to arch lord himself, yet he's already boasting and promising to make others arch lords."

Kraken: "Hulk, you're really good at speeches."

Hulk: "I'm talking serious business with you guys. Can you all be a bit more serious?"

Orion felt exasperated. Whenever they discussed serious matters, these guys would just start fooling around.

Edward: "Based on the situation you described, that spider broodmother is very likely to surrender. For her clan, for herself, she has no choice."

Edward: "You just need to find an opportunity to send the scroll out."

The Deputy Commander's statement was very certain, implying he had grasped Lolth's inner thoughts.

Hulk: "Send the scroll out?"

Hulk: "Are you sure, Deputy Commander?"

Orion asked very seriously, because this wasn't as simple as just sending out a scroll.

If the contract scroll were seized by someone else, Orion couldn't bear the consequences.

Seemingly seeing Orion's thoughts, the Deputy Commander explained.

Edward: "Don't worry, I've inscribed a self-destruct formation within the scroll. If anything unexpected happens to the scroll, it will instantly turn into a forbidden curse scroll."

Wow!

Deputy Commander, you sly old fox.

Without a trace of doubt, Orion believed the Deputy Commander's words and had already sighed with emotion inwardly.

In that instant, Orion no longer saw the contract scroll in his hand as a trump card to coerce Lolth, but as a forbidden curse that could detonate at any moment.

Hulk: "Deputy Commander, can we not do this? I'm so scared-scared?"

Leonidas: "Haha, Hulk, you're hilarious!"

Alexander: "Set off the forbidden curse, blow him up!"

Kraken: "Deputy Commander, I'm scared-scared too! I haven't used the magic scroll you gave me yet."

Seeing Kraken's message, Orion, who had been somewhat terrified, suddenly felt cheerful.

Danger needed to be shared; misery loves company.

This kind of joy was somewhat odd, tinged with schadenfreude.

Edward: "This is a defensive measure. Any top-tier mage incorporates countermeasures when crafting scrolls."

Edward: "So, a reminder to you little ones: don't carelessly accept magic scrolls from others when you're outside."

Edward's temperament was very steady. Unlike Leonidas and Alexander, he was older, more profound.

Leonidas had that naturally open personality, able to chat about anything anywhere.

Alexander was the inwardly passionate type; although he didn't talk much usually, he was quite wild on the inside.

Therefore, Deputy Commander Edward wouldn't joke around with everyone like Leonidas could.

Edward: "Hulk, find an opportunity and send the contract scroll out."

Edward: "Don't worry about that spider broodmother not signing. As long as she dares to accept it, she will surrender sooner or later."

These words were extremely domineering.

Furthermore, Deputy Commander Edward didn't specify whether Lolth the spider broodmother would surrender actively or passively.

Unconsciously, an image appeared in Orion's mind of the Deputy Commander making Lolth the spider broodmother surrender passively.

Hmm, that scene was hard to look at directly.

Having received the Deputy Commander's affirmative reply, Orion peacefully exited the public channel.

Orion had left, but someone else in the team was feeling uneasy.

Valkorath Realm, Western War Zone.

Isabella, riding atop a colossal dragon, felt frantic inside.

Isabella also took out a magic scroll from her storage belt.

Without a doubt, this must have been the welcome gift Deputy Commander Edward gave Isabella when she joined the Champions Alliance.

"Is this really a forbidden curse magic inscribed inside?"

At first, Isabella didn't believe it.

However, after asking Alexander, Isabella had no choice but to believe.

Isabella suddenly felt some regret. Not long ago, she had charged into a sea of slime molds and encountered a lower Legendary level slime molds parasitic creature.

Isabella used all her means and eventually managed to heavily injure the slime molds parasitic creature.

But, at the last moment, Isabella herself was nearly exhausted, allowing the slime molds parasitic creature to escape for nothing.

If she had had this magic scroll back then, Isabella felt she definitely could have taken down that slime molds parasitic creature, achieving her first kill of a Legendary level monster in the Valkorath Realm.

"With this, if I plan carefully, maybe I can kill a middle, or even upper, legendary-level powerhouse fungal creature."

Isabella pondered secretly, feeling a little pleased with her own cleverness.

In fact, Isabella still underestimated the power of that magic scroll.

The magic scroll gifted by the Deputy Commander—let alone middle legendary-level beings, even an ordinary arch lord could be killed if the timing was right.

But then again, every arch lord had many trump cards and skills; they couldn't be killed just like that.

Isabella put the magic scroll away, looked down at her subordinates fighting against the fungal creatures, and felt doubt rise in her heart again.

"These fungal creatures are so hard to fight; how did those two handle them?"

"Those two," of course, referred to Orion and Kraken, who were also Legendary level.

Also being Legendary level, Isabella was very clear about the power at that level.

She couldn't understand how Orion and Kraken could easily handle such vast numbers of fungal creatures.

Especially since she heard that when Kraken and Orion faced arch lord-level fungal creatures, one was injured, and the other was victorious.

Without seeing such a thing with her own eyes, no matter what Alexander said, Isabella found it hard to believe.

Because Isabella understood very well that arch lords possessed immense power, as her own father was such an existence.

To fight against an arch lord while still at Legendary level was simply too difficult.

In Isabella's current understanding, she felt it was impossible.

At least, she couldn't do it.

...

Emerald Dream Realm. Night fell upon Delilah and her forces.

The Emerald Dream Realm seemed to have no stars. Beneath the night sky flickered an unshakeable sense of oppression.

Fire stones were lit, blazing bonfires illuminating the darkness, dispelling the filth and evil hidden within it.

In the brightly lit temporary camp, most people in the invading armies were looking up at the sky.

Because dark shadows would flit across the sky from time to time.

Those were Dark Bat Hawks, flying-type dark creatures.

Their appearance above everyone meant they considered the people below as prey.

Roar!

Delilah's mount, the Four-Winged Blood Bat, soared into the sky. This creature, cultivated by Delilah sparing no effort, had progressed rapidly in strength and was extremely powerful.

After Onyx, the Four-Winged Blood Bat was another existence in the Stoneheart Horde to reach Alpha peak.

Part of Delilah's confidence in undertaking the cross-realm invasion also came from this Four-Winged Blood Bat.

As long as she didn't encounter Legendary level powerhouses or their will projections, Delilah couldn't imagine who could possibly handle her Four-Winged Blood Bat.

This was Delilah's foundation, a trump card she displayed openly.

This Four-Winged Blood Bat not only demonstrated Delilah's power but also served as a deterrent.

It allowed her to command the armies more smoothly, ensuring strict discipline where orders were executed without fail.
