Titan King: Ascension of the Giant - Chapter 670

Chapter 670: The Sea Race was coming
In the darkness of the deep sea, a pair of immense eyes opened. Upon hearing the Reverse Whale’s wail, those eyes gradually became shot with crimson.

“The fate of a Reverse Whale should not be sacrifice, but a return to the deep sea.”

“The Dragons, they have touched upon our taboos.We need war to wash away this humiliation.”

“Summon our kin! We shall scourge the Dragon territory, and use their blood and flesh to commemorate Chthonius!”

“…”

Within the deep sea, five colossal shadows successively arrived, unleashing immensely powerful secret techniques that stirred up a great tsunami.

The Sea Race was coming!

Whitecliff, Ancient Castle.

The white dragon Frostsire showed no reaction to the great rumbles from the deep sea; everything was within his control.

“What benefits do you want?”

The white dragon Frostsire looked at Grand Duke Richard, his face a mask of sneering ridicule.

Grand Duke Richard frowned. He could, of course, sense the utter disdain in the white dragon Frostsire’s eyes and words.

The white dragon Frostsire was completely unconcerned by his earlier threats.

Grand Duke Richard didn’t speak, his expression fluctuating unpredictably.

For such a situation to occur, there was only one possibility: no matter how the other four races responded, the white dragon Frostsire didn’t care.

To be so unconcerned, he definitely had something to rely on.

“Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, the Stoneheart Horde is interested in the Sea Race!”

“Carving out a sea region of our own is a future goal for the Stoneheart Horde.”

Just then, Orion’s composed and clear voice reached everyone’s ears. Including the white dragon Frostsire, everyone turned to stare at him.

Orion reached out, ignoring their gazes, picked up a platter of fruit used as a centerpiece on the conference table, and popped all of it into his mouth.

Then, he downed a whole cask of fine wine before finally speaking nonchalantly, just as the others were growing impatient.

“Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, do you think it better for us to cooperate fully, or for each to fight their own battles?”

No one spoke. Dain the Dwarf, Grand Duke Richard, and Grand Elder Lireesa all looked at Orion as if he were an idiot.

Only Dragon Emperor Frostsire squinted, reassessing Orion.

“It seems you don’t quite trust me!”

Whoosh!

Wind suddenly stirred within the entire hall, though none came from outside.

The entire Ancient Castle was enveloped by a formidable pressure.

Orion’s expression was indifferent as he fully unleashed the pressure of his Legendary peak cultivation. A terrifying aura radiated outwards, pressing down on Richard, Dain, and Lireesa until they could hardly breathe.

“This…!”

“Impossible!”

“Ah!”

Even the white dragon Frostsire, upon his main seat, wore a look of shock.

“The aura of an Archlord!”

“No, you’re still at the peak of Legendary level, but your power has reached the Archlord level…”

Truth be told, Orion’s pressure even had a slight suppressive effect on the white dragon Frostsire.

However, also being at the peak of Legendary level, the white dragon Frostsire had ways to mitigate and resist this pressure.

Orion had shown his hand, making the white dragon Frostsire understand that Orion could genuinely contend with a lower Archlord.

“Giant King Orion, you are qualified to cooperate with our Dragon race.”

“The friendship between the Stoneheart Horde and the Dragon race will be unbreakable.”

The white dragon Frostsire employed a slight maneuver, and Orion’s pressure lost its effect.

Seeing the white dragon Frostsire speak, Orion also withdrew his pressure, shrugged, and then smiled at the assembly.

Richard, Dain, and Lireesa exchanged glances, their eyes filled with lingering shock and uncertainty.

The Five-Race Conference being renamed the Sacrificial Grand Ceremony, the Dragons sacrificing a Sea Race lord, Grand Duke Richard threatening the Dragons, and the Stoneheart Horde’s sudden, proactive entry—these rapid changes were completely unexpected by everyone.

Even Orion’s display just now had been a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The covert strife between the Dragons and Humans had made it difficult for Orion to clearly assess the situation.

Under these circumstances, Orion decided to enter the fray and stir things up a bit, to take the opportunity to probe the limits of each race.

Previously, in the Champions Alliance public channel, the Deputy Commander had warned Orion that he might be targeted.

The normal course of action would have been for Orion to learn to be low-key, to practice forbearance, and to seek steady development.

However, after arriving in Whitecliff, entering the Ancient Castle, and experiencing Dragon Emperor Frostsire’s pressure, Orion decided to be more high-profile, to place himself in a more conspicuous position.

Since he had made this decision, Orion didn’t mind going along with the white dragon Frostsire’s wishes and joining this contest against the Sea Race.

If they won, the Stoneheart Horde would reap huge benefits.

If they lost, the Stoneheart Horde could, at worst, abandon its coastal regions and develop inland.

Furthermore, by being so high-profile, Orion also wanted to see if he could draw out the entity that was supposedly targeting him from behind the scenes.

If such an entity truly existed, who were they?

As for the potential crises the Stoneheart Horde might face? So what?

Orion did not fear battle, and neither did the Stoneheart Horde.

Besides, Orion had long prepared a path of retreat; what was there to worry about?

“Hahaha… Since the Giant King has chosen to join, I am very pleased. Next, I shall let you witness the true foundation of the Dragon race’s strength!”

The white dragon Frostsire laughed uproariously, his laughter growing louder and louder until it finally transformed into a dragon’s roar.

After the dragon’s roar, seven Legendary-level powerhouses walked out from the Dragon Nest one after another, standing suspended in mid-air.

Seven Legendary-level auras emanated outwards, sweeping across the entire city of Whitecliff.

At this moment, Whitecliff fell into silence.

Then followed an unparalleled excitement and agitation, immediately succeeded by the overwhelming roars (dragon shouts) of the Dragon race’s populace.

“Praise be to His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor!”

“Praise be to His Majesty, the Dragon Emperor!”

“…”

The shouts reached the Ancient Castle, and the white dragon Frostsire was very satisfied with this.

“Giant King, what do you think of the Dragon race’s current strength?”

“Does the Dragon race possess the power to invade the Sea Race?”

Orion’s face was expressionless, but inwardly, he too was profoundly shaken.

Not including the white dragon Frostsire and Glacial Dragon Jorik, the Dragon race had suddenly revealed seven lords—two at upper-Legendary level, three at middle-Legendary level, and two at lower-Legendary level.

With this kind of power, they could indeed invade the Sea Race, and perhaps even the continent.

“The Stoneheart Horde is willing to face the Sea Race alongside the Dragon race, to usher in a new era together.”

With his decision, Orion acknowledged the Dragon race’s might.

The white dragon Frostsire laughed heartily, nodded at Orion in acknowledgment, and summoned a subordinate to begin preparing the terms of an alliance.

Only then did the white dragon Frostsire turn to look at Grand Duke Richard.

The Stoneheart Horde could only be considered a rising power; the white dragon Frostsire’s true target was the Human Kingdom represented by Richard.

Grand Duke Richard was truly a character. The speed at which his expression changed within the three seconds the white dragon Frostsire gazed at him left Orion astounded.

Initially, Richard’s expression was gloomy, then it shifted to surprise.

Next, it changed from surprise to doubt.

After that, from doubt to terror.

Finally, the terror vanished, and the expression that settled on Richard’s face was a smile, warm and humble.

“Respected Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, as you wish, the Human Kingdom is also willing to join the ranks resisting the Sea Race.”

“The vast sea regions are also something the Human race greatly aspires to.”
