The Rise of the Titan

"Wait a minute, I'll give you divinity. Just have the Machine Emperor stop that thing!" As the Stellar Orbital Cannon was activated, continuously charging to fire, the Storm Lord, feeling a threat behind him, immediately wanted to stop the fight.

The god can escape, but the divine kingdom cannot. This Stellar Orbital Cannon, his divine kingdom absolutely cannot evade, and his power is fundamentally incapable of blocking this cannon capable of destroying a medium-sized material realm.

"It's too late!" Seeing the Storm Lord surrender under the Stellar Orbital Cannon, Archimonde briefly communicated with the Machine Emperor and then regretfully told Talos, "This shot must be fired, but it can be slightly deflected to just pierce through your divine kingdom. How about that?"

"Pierce through my divine kingdom?" Around the storm giant form of Talos, an emotion called anger spread. Although his face was unclear, Archimonde expressed his understanding of his feelings. After all, the divine kingdom is the foundation of a deity's existence, and no god can tolerate damage to their divine kingdom.

But the current situation is that the Storm Lord has no choice but to tolerate it. He has no other option. "It really can't be avoided?"

"No. Now hand over the divinity. You can choose a location for the Stellar Orbital Cannon to hit, allowing you to evacuate the worshippers there and minimize the damage."

"Pierce through my divine kingdom and still want my divinity." A fierce storm brewed above the divine kingdom, representing the Storm God's anger. But it was evident that the epic titan in front of him didn't care about his anger at all.

"Will you give it or not?"

"Let the cannon hit my selected location first."

"Haha, in a hundred breaths, the Stellar Orbital Cannon will fire." The already ceasefire Archimonde laughed at the storm giant form of Talos. After all, it wasn't his demiplane about to be hit, so he wasn't in a hurry.

He wasn't worried that the Storm Lord, after taking a hit from the Stellar Orbital Cannon, would not hand over the divinity. Unless he wanted another shot, which, for the Machine Emperor, would just mean consuming some stored energy.

"I'll give it to you!" Seeing the Wild Lord ready to watch the show, the Storm God gritted his teeth. He was unwilling because he hadn't done anything, just quietly observing. Yet the titans targeted him first, it was simply too much.

Talos, in his giant spirit form, reached into his chest and pulled out a dazzling golden thread from his chest, which was his separated divinity. According to Archimonde's request, it contained his insights into the elements of fire, thunder, and storm.

"Here!" The Storm Lord endured the dual pain in his soul and mind, handed over the divinity to Archimonde, and then stated the coordinates within his divine kingdom for the titan cannon's strike.

"Good!" Archimonde, satisfied, accepted what the Storm Lord handed over. "It would've been better if you had done this earlier."

Feeling very uncomfortable, Talos didn't respond to the Wild Lord but instead went to evacuate his few worshippers, while manipulating the rules of his divine kingdom to change the properties of the targeted area, striving to minimize the damage caused by the Stellar Orbital Cannon.

Though the titans acted dominantly, their credibility was beyond doubt. The Storm Lord didn't even consider the possibility of these titans deceiving him.

"Boom!" Under the complex emotions of fear, amazement, and dread from many deities, the long-charged Stellar Orbital Cannon fired. A beam nearly three kilometers in diameter rose from the Eternal Sky City, adjusted direction through several ring accelerators, and shot straight towards the designated location in the Storm God's divine kingdom.

"Boom!" The vast divine kingdom shook violently under the Stellar Orbital Cannon's impact. The entire divine kingdom trembled, volcanoes erupted, hurricanes roared, the ground shook... It was an apocalyptic scene, and all the worshippers living within were terrified.

"Crash!" Under the watchful eyes of many deities, Talos's divine kingdom withstood the beam exuding endless destructive energy for less than ten breaths before being pierced through. The remaining powerful cannon continued to shoot into the endless distance after piercing the divine kingdom.

"Finally made it through." The Storm Lord looked at the massive ten-kilometer-wide hole in the center of his divine kingdom and quietly sighed in relief. Such a loss was still within acceptable limits.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the Storm Lord was fine, a brilliant golden light path appeared once again at Archimonde's feet. This titan, who had long planned ahead, led his ancient dragon retinue and the slightly damaged fierce beast legion back on their journey.

"Is that the divine kingdom of the God of Tyranny, Bane?" While cleaning up the mess in his divine kingdom, the Storm Lord noticed the direction Archimonde intended to head and showed a gloating expression. It was better for everyone to be miserable together than for him to be the only unlucky god. This thought relieved much of Talos's depression.

"I didn't have any subordinates participate in the siege against your descendants?" The God of Tyranny, Bane, who was inherently irritable, said impatiently when he saw the epic titan with his army blocking his divine kingdom.

"You had worshippers who participated."

"That wasn't my oracle." Noticing the massive metal contraption below seemingly aiming at his divine kingdom, the usually short-tempered God of Tyranny uncharacteristically explained.

"He is your worshipper, an extension of your will. As the deity he believes in, you must pay the price for this."

"Haha, such a domineering titan. Do you intend to make every god whose worshippers participated in the siege pay a price?" Bane, the God of Tyranny, already extremely angry, asked.

"Of course," Archimonde answered without hesitation.

"Then, according to you, I also need to pay a price." An eerie voice sounded, and a figure that made even gods feel envious and fearful appeared beside the God of Tyranny's divine kingdom.

This was a slender man with piercing black eyes and deathly pale skin, the Prince of Lies, Cyric.

"No god is exempt. Any god involved in the siege of my descendants must pay the price," Archimonde said firmly.

"Good! Good! Good!" The Prince of Lies laughed, "Do you think that just two epic titans are enough to disdain the majesty of the gods?"

"We titans have never disdained the majesty of the gods, but it's still acceptable to disdain an evil god like you who only uses deceitful tricks." A majestic voice sounded, and a hand entwined with golden thunder broke through space, reaching for the God of Murder, Cyric.
