Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

Edward: "Since the Emerald Dream Realm is undergoing a divine war, Arch Lord level existences temporarily cannot descend there."

After a long pause, Deputy Commander Edward spoke, as if drawing a boundary line for everyone.

Leonidas: "We can't descend personally, but my Legendary level descendants and subordinates can!"

Alexander: "We can first arrange for some people to go over and establish a forward base, lay the groundwork, make preparations. When the time is right, we launch a full-scale invasion."

Edward set the restriction; Leonidas and Alexander devised countermeasures.

Deputy Commander Edward didn't object to this.

A realm gaining a few more Lords made no difference to demigod experts; they didn't care.

But Arch Lord experts were different; the power of their Body of Faith was immense and would attract the attention of demigod experts.

Leonidas: "This plan is good. We can send some subordinates over first to make some small moves."

Edward: "Indeed, we can test them out!"

The three major figures—Edward, Leonidas, and Alexander—reached a consensus. The preliminary plan for invading the Emerald Dream Realm was basically settled.

Kraken: "Hulk, don't forget to help me find a sea region!"

Such matters of expanding territory and plundering resources were impossible for Kraken to miss.

Both he and Orion were at the peak of the Legendary level; both wanted to shorten the time needed to advance to Arch Lord by expanding their territory.

Hulk: "I have already dispatched intelligence personnel to map the area. I'll notify you as soon as there's news."

Receiving Orion's definite reply, Kraken's restless heart finally calmed down.

Arch Lord experts descending into the Emerald Dream Realm would be noticed by demigod experts, but he was Legendary level; Kraken faced no restrictions.

Going over earlier meant gaining more benefits.

Edward: "Hulk, does your current territory contain a cross-realm teleportation array?"

Hulk: "Yes, intact. I used it just a few days ago."

Edward: "Excellent. Tell me the array's connection coordinates. This way, making teleportation scrolls will be simpler for me, and I can save some materials."

Clearly, Edward prepared to borrow the Red Moon Valley teleportation array to inscribe corresponding teleportation scrolls for the others.

Hulk had no objection to this and privately sent the coordinates to Edward.

Leonidas: "Bro, find a teleportation location far from yours for me."

Leonidas: "My subordinates are rather irritable. Without my personal suppression, they're hard to manage."

Hulk: "No problem!"

Honestly, Leonidas was still reliable. He was using his own situation to remind the others in the group, and also reminding Orion.

If everyone's forces gathered too closely together, issues of territory and benefit distribution would inevitably arise later.

Since that was the case, it was better to plan the landing zones in advance before descending.

Next, under the guidance of Edward, Leonidas, and Alexander, Orion gained considerable insight.

It made Orion realize that his invasion this time was still not rigorous enough, containing many flaws.

For example, the lord auras of the two worlds being inconsistent meant that when the Void Passage opened, they wouldn't be pulled, which would certainly reveal anomalies.

Another example: slaughter wasn't the best method to prevent information leaks.

Orion should have first sought methods similar to spiritual contamination, controlled Loska and the Red Thread Clan, and used the Emerald Dream Realm natives as cover—that would have been the best choice.

In short, the more he listened, the more Orion felt his invasion of the Emerald Dream Realm was somewhat ill-considered.

However, since it had already happened, Orion had no regrets, and could only take things one step at a time.

Soon, the group dispersed, and the public channel fell silent again.

Unknown realm, within a certain palace court.

This was the traveling palace of the Iris Queen. Unlike other realms, the queen here wasn't a queen in the true sense.

All experts who advanced to the Legendary level could be called King (or Queen).

And Arch Lord level existences were referred to as Emperors (or Empresses) in this realm.

The eighth member of the Champions Alliance, Isabella, was the queen here.

Isabella started as a trainee knight and advanced rapidly all the way, becoming the Iris Queen with virtually no obstacles.

All this was because she had a father who had already claimed the title of Emperor. From the moment she was born, Isabella lacked no resources whatsoever.

This was the foundation of Isabella's pride!

Of course, another reason for Isabella's immense pride was that she was a survivor.

Furthermore, on the Survivor's Platform, Isabella had coincidentally met a super expert, namely Alexander.

Through bartering, Isabella had also obtained many practical items from Alexander.

Whether judging by background, personal strength, or hidden trump cards, Isabella was exceedingly proud.

In her home realm, she was a peerless genius, pushing aside her entire generation, an existence admired by the youth.

However, at this moment, Isabella was somewhat angry because she had been ignored.

"Alexander, what did that Hulk mean?"

"He mentioned everyone else, why did he ignore only me?"

Isabella sat upon her throne, scratching at her long, purplish-red hair; she looked very angry.

She was the renowned Iris Queen, the center of attention wherever she went; she had never suffered such disregard.

The more she thought about it, the uglier Isabella's expression became.

This side of Isabella was one others had never seen.

Fortunately, the maidservants attending Isabella had already been dismissed by her.

Otherwise, Isabella would have been even more furious.

"Isabella, I was the one who brought you into the Champions Alliance."

"There were some things I didn't explain clearly beforehand, hoping you would explore them yourself; the benefits gained that way would be greater."

Alexander was a straightforward person. Isabella had indeed been brought into the team by him.

Apart from being a bit proud and speaking bluntly, Isabella's character wasn't problematic.

"Leonidas, whom you asked about earlier, is an Arch Lord peak existence, capable of stepping into the demigod realm at any time."

"Strong or not, you tell me?"

"Also, Hulk whom you just mentioned, about your age, Legendary level peak, holds a battle record of killing an upper Arch Lord."

"Even that Kraken is a Legendary level peak existence."

These words from Alexander caused Isabella's proud yet embarrassed expression to instantly freeze. Then she sat stunned, unable to utter a single word.

"Also, the Deputy Commander whom we all respect—that is a demigod expert."

"Isabella, drop your pride. In the Champions Alliance, you're not a queen, but the weakest puppy."

These last few sentences were rather harsh.

Especially for Isabella, who had lived surrounded by glory and the attention of others since birth.
