Chapter 422: Chapter 417: The Goal of the Epic Titan Chapter 422: Chapter 417: The Goal of the Epic Titan “Oh, right, there’s something I need to tell you in advance.” The Golden Dragon Mother walked over to Muria, “In a little while, your father will bring a few Titans over, you need to be ready, and make sure to control all the Soul Intent Circles before he sees you.”

“My father is coming, too?” A look of surprise crossed Muria’s face; this was news that he hadn’t expected. “And he’s bringing other Titans, what is he planning to do? Is it because of the demon?”

“Our world is swallowing a portion of the Abyss, which might sound excellent, but the Abyssal intent isn’t easy to provoke. If we want to swallow these Abyss levels, we must withstand the backlash of the Abyss.

You should know the current situation of the Nocchio Subcontinent as the governing duke of the Lockman Kingdom. This is the backlash of the Abyss. As it progresses, the demons that appear grow stronger, and in a few years, or a decade,
at the final stage of the world swallowing the Abyss, a legendary demon will descend. At that time, because of the entanglement of the Abyssal laws and the laws of our world, the power of the incoming demons will not be suppressed. They can utilize all their power. It will be the fiercest time of the Demon Tide.”

“It’s merely child’s play right now, nothing to worry about. Ansol and his kind are here for those upcoming Demon Lords.”

“Of course, fighting is only a secondary objective for them. The main objective is to pave the way for an Epic Titan from your tribe to come, checking on the competition and seizing dominance.”

“An Epic Titan is taking action?” Even though Muria had been in a high position for several years, he couldn’t hide his astonishment now. This news was too shocking, an Epic Titan was preparing to take action.

“That’s right. Poor me,” the Golden Dragon Mother’s face showed a pitiful expression, akin to a damsel in distress. “Your father hasn’t departed yet, but I have to set off for him in advance.”

“What valuable things could cause an Epic Titan to act when Elasia swallows the Abyss?” Muria ignored the dramatic facial expression changes of the Golden Dragon Mother and asked his question directly.

“What, you don’t know this?” The Golden Dragon Mother looked genuinely shocked in response to Muria’s question.

“Esteemed Basde, do you?” Muria turned to look at the Ancient Golden Dragon, who looked both embarrassed and shocked. He had just heard some explosive news and hadn’t had time to process it all yet.

“I’m afraid I don’t, Your Majesty,” the Ancient Golden Dragon Basde shook his head. He had reasoned about the cause of the Demon Tide based on a hypothesis that he had read about after they had casually entered the Abyss.

Asking him why some of the Epic Titans, who were on the same level as the Dragon King, would come to the Nocchio Subcontinent, was a bit above his pay grade. It was too difficult for him.

“Neither does Basde, but you’ve never taught me about it either.” Muria turned to look at his mother. Essentially, it was perfectly normal that he didn’t know, so now he needed an explanation from his Golden Dragon Mother to satisfy his curiosity.

“That won’t do, Little Muria.” The Golden Dragon Mother tilted her head, looking just like a pure and beautiful young girl. “I have collected many books about space, and I have opened my library to you, yet you still don’t know.”

“There are so many books, how could I possibly read them all?” Muria retorted.

“You’re still too young.” The Golden Dragon Mother, who looked just a few years older than Muria, sighed, “Alright, let me tell you. After Elasia swallows the Abyss, a part of the assimilated Abyss will integrate into the subcontinent, so the Nocchio subcontinent will undoubtedly expand after this incident.

Still, that’s only a part of it. The vast majority of the Abyss plane will fragment, forming semi-planes that attach to the main plane, and these will be ownerless semi-planes of massive quantity.”

“How significant?”

“By the time the semi-planes are formed, they will make up no less than half of the total area of the Nocchio Subcontinent.”

“That big? No wonder the Epic Titans will act.” Muria patted his chest; his heart was also stirred. Ownerless semi-planes were rare strategic resources that anyone would covet, and no one could ever have enough of them.

“So, you came here to seize these soon-to-be-formed semi-planes as one of your reasons?” Muria asked abruptly.

“Ahem, the main reason is to fight against evil and resist demons, and as for the semi-planes, we’ll see the situation. If I get about ten, I’ll be more than satisfied.” The Golden Dragon Mother coughed and explained without the slightest change in expression.

“Ten semi-planes?” Muria twitched at the corner of his mouth, “Are there so many semi-planes forming from the shattered Abyss that you can get more than ten? Apart from the Titans, shouldn’t there be other entities also aiming for these semi-planes?”

“There will be many forces competing, but I’ll be leading a group of Titans. I’d like to see who dares to fight with me.” The Golden Dragon Mother said delightedly.

“Mother, please take me with you when the time comes.” At this moment, Muria set aside his grudges with his Golden Dragon Mother and pleaded. In Muria’s view, asking his parents for something wasn’t a loss of dignity.

“No, you couldn’t do anything but get in the way. That’s a battlefield for high-level legends, where Epic beings will also take action. You wouldn’t even qualify to be cannon fodder.”

Golden Dragon Mother Atreus bluntly refused Muria’s plea. A boy who hadn’t even broken through to the legendary realm had no business meddling in the affairs of adults.

“Mother, if you have extras after leasing those semi-planes, can you give me a few?” Muria tentatively asked.

“You are now the ruling duke of the Lockman Kingdom. Haven’t you checked yet? All the twelve semi-planes controlled by the Scarlett family are in your hands, and you turn to your impoverished mother for more semi-planes. Doesn’t it make you feel ashamed?”

“I’m just managing them; they don’t belong to me.” Muria shook his head, “Once Princess Remilia comes of age, I will return control of these semi-planes to her.”

“As far as I know, the sole heir of the Scarlett family is Princess Remilia you just mentioned, who is barely in her teens. As long as you want to, those semi-planes are yours now. Why ask me for something you already have?”

“What is mine is mine, and no one can take it away. What is not mine, even if it’s handed to me, I won’t want it.” Muria asserted solemnly, “I have my bottom line, and I won’t cross it as long as I’m alive.”

“Oh, not bad, you finally act like a true Golden Dragon. The Dragon Race is greedy; it’s our nature. However, we must figure out what we should covet and what we shouldn’t.”
