Chapter 329 - 329: World Trigger Part 5
"You're safe now,"
As his broad shoulder protected her, Hisame felt a surge of relief and gratitude.
She thought all was lost, but his timely arrival saved them from the brink of destruction.
The infant titan, however, showed no signs of calming down.
Its twisted smile grew even wider as it unleashed another blast of molten energy, this time more powerful than before.
The air shimmered with heat as the attack hurtled towards them, but he was ready.
He raised his hand and formed a barrier that glowed with a soft golden light.
The flames crashed into the barrier, sending waves of heat rippling through the ocean, but the ship stood firm.
Then, in a move that seemed almost effortless, he redirected the attack back at the infant titan.
The blast of energy shot back at their attacker, striking its shoulder.
BOOOOOM!
A massive hole appeared in the titan's body, but it was so large that it barely registered as damage.
The titan's jaw worked furiously as it prepared to unleash another attack.
"You're not the only one that has powers!" Asher sneered, and he raised his hand summoning a giant magic circle before him.
It continued to spin, and as the infant titan released its attack, Asher countered with his own.
BOOOOOOM!
The Molten Red and Golden Beam clashed, and the effect was devastating.
Tremors caused by the collision were felt across the globe.
Mountains trembled, oceans churned, and land crumbled as the seismic waves propagated through the world's crust.
Tsunamis began to form in every ocean, their massive waves threatening to engulf coastal territory and low-lying areas.
Hisame stumbled backwards, her eyes fixed on the spectacle unfolding before her.
She had never seen anything like this before - two beings of unimaginable power locked in a struggle that could potentially reshape the world.
Deuz Machina, still standing nearby, watched with a calculating gaze, its advanced sensors absorbing data from the clash.
In its database, it raised Asher's danger category to SS+, which was only a level below SSS, the rating it had assigned to the infant titan.
"2000%!" He roared and released his true power.
BOOOOOOM!Multiple auras surged around him, the scales on his dragon body releasing a mesmerizing display of dark, red, and golden auras that swirled together in a dazzling spectacle.
This state was clearly more powerful than when he defeated Kistune.
The intensity of his attack was a testament to the gravity of the situation, and the immense threat that the infant titan posed.
When the spell was over, everyone hoped that it was done.
There was no way anyone could survive that attack. But reality was far from cruel.
"It's too late!" Asher clicked his tongue in annoyance.
The infant titan's body was now encased in a burning, molten egg, its massive shape suspended within the fiery shell.
He began to cast another series of powerful spells.
However, as the spells struck, they seemed to have no effect.
The egg simply absorbed the magic, its surface glowing brighter as it drew in the energy.
Asher's face twisted in frustration as he realized that his attacks were not only failing to harm the titan, but were actually helping it grow stronger.
With a grimace, he stopped attacking, recognizing that his efforts were only making things worse.
'Can I even win?'
His thoughts were tempered by a dose of reality, as he acknowledged that his increased strength didn't necessarily mean he could take down a monster of such enormous size.
Furthermore, the fact that Pantheon, was currently weakened only added to his concerns, leaving him to face this behemoth alone and unaided.
Just as he contemplated his next move, a mechanical voice broke the silence behind him.
[ Mr. Asher, nice seeing you again,] Deuz Machina's metallic voice rang out.
Asher's gaze didn't turn away from the egg as he responded, his voice low and even.
"I saw your attempt to take down the titan earlier. Unfortunately, it's not enough to kill it off."
[Yes, Mr. Asher, may I ask if you have any way to exterminate that thing?]
Its words were carefully chosen, reflecting its updated assessment of his capabilities and status as the new Overlord.
The silence that followed Deuz's question was oppressive, and Hisame's eyes darted to his face,
"Are you telling me to get that weapon and carry it back to Earth?"
[Affirmative. That is the only way to utilize the weapon. You would need to retrieve the device from the lunar facility and bring it back to Earth's atmosphere in order to use it.]
[You will have to manually aim it at the monster, charge it with your energy, and it should destroy the monster completely, erasing everything in its path.]
The plan was ridiculous, and he was ready to reject it when Pantheon's voice echoed in his mind.
(Brat, take a look at that weapon first.)
"Why?"
(I've been searching for information about a particular element. It's called the Null Element. If it's really the one I'm looking for, it could help you grow even stronger.)
This caught his interest.
Pantheon rarely made demands or requests, so the fact that this so-called Alpha Particle Charge was enough to entice an Ancient Dragon who had lived for countless years meant it was something significant.
He turned towards Hisame. "You go back to the demon world and tell Lucy and Hailey to prepare, just in case we need to escape."
"How about you? What will you do?" she asked out of concern.
"There's still time before it fully matures, so I plan to check the moon for that weapon because it might very well be our only chance to destroy that thing."
