Chapter 225

The majestic Iron Fortress was a powerful defensive barrier. The Titans relied on the Iron Fortress and spent nearly two years to finally defeat all the Gold-Eaters. They cleaned up the battlefield as usual, collecting the high-purity metals excreted by the Gold-Eaters and the few corpses of their own kind. If they were lucky enough to find a fire seed that was still burning, they would smile from the bottom of their hearts and store it in a special container.

Even if their smiles looked stiff, they were indeed happy for every possible member of their own kind that could be born.

"How many of the patrols that were scattered outside the Iron Fortress before the war began did not make it back?"

A powerful Titan who was 95 meters tall and whose energy waves could easily disturb the space outside hovered above the Iron Fortress wall and asked in a muffled voice.

Beside him, a "petite" Titan transformed into a screen. A large number of data flashed on the screen. A few seconds later, he replied, "Four teams lost contact. Flame 678, Storm 90, Titanium 692, and Tungsten 39."

The Titan Elder was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Send someone to the place where they last requested support. Maybe there are survivors..."

The Titan Younger knew that the hope was slim, but this was something that had to be done no matter what. He issued the order, and the few Titans below the Iron Fortress wall flew out in all directions without hesitation.

Every Titan had several forms, and their combat lives were different. The Titan that flew toward Adam looked like a rocket launcher. Its tail kept spewing flames, and it flew very fast. In less than three hours, it had arrived at the battlefield where Flame 678 had fallen.

It happened to see Adam and the leader of the Gold-Eaters fighting.

Of the hundreds of Gold-Eaters, only one was left. It dissolved and absorbed the rest of its kind, enlarging its body to the same height as Adam. Its appearance mutated into a disgusting multi-headed, multi-legged, multi-winged creature. Every part of its body could spurt out a strong corrosive liquid. The unique force field of the Gold-Eaters was added to its body, increasing its strength to a certain extent.

However, it was only to a certain extent. The reason this race could defeat the Titans was because of their inexhaustible numbers. Their individual strength was nothing to write home about.

However, Adam was in a predicament. He didn't have enough energy.

The tinder did not have the ability to absorb and convert energy from the outside world. All the Ether crystals were stored in the dimensional pocket. Adam felt that now was not the time to use them. Just when he was about to summon Sophia 6.5 for help, a yell came from behind, "Don't move!"

Then, through Adam's Electromagnetic Induction, a concentrated energy cannonball pierced through the sky and shot toward him.

"A Rank 8 attack."

Adam instantly calculated the energy level, adjusted the power of the electromagnetic barrier, and connected his soul to the summoning space. Although he guessed that since they were both of the Metal Race, Adam was still fully prepared. Now, even if he was hit, he could deal with it calmly.

The cannonball brushed past the electromagnetic barrier and Adam's body as it flew past. The energy wave caused a dent in the mithril's body, but the metallic lifeform did not feel pain. This level of damage was completely negligible.

Boom!

The Metal Eater that had mutated and was only at the peak of Rank 6 could not defend against the cannonball at all. After struggling for a few seconds, its defensive force field was torn apart. The cannonball exploded immediately after hitting its body, and the Metal Eater leader was smashed into pieces.

Adam let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw a rocket vehicle flying toward him at high speed. It transformed into a human when it was 75 meters away from Adam.

Before he could finish, the giant said, "Where did you come from? What about Blaze678? "

Adam said honestly, "I came from underground. Who is Blaze678?"

— — —

"That's what he said. He looks like a newborn, but he's stronger than the average newborn. His body is made of mithril. This is a bit strange. There shouldn't be any natural mithril ore on the Titan continent," Burning Wind 777 said to Iron 72.

Iron 72 was the 95-meter-tall Titan. After hearing what Burning Wind 777 said, he asked, "Have you checked his power furnace and origin flame?"

"There's no problem at all. This is the strongest newborn Titan I've ever seen. Maybe he absorbed the origin flame after Blaze678's patrol team self-destructed?" This was Burning Wind 777's guess. This was not a common occurrence. When a Titan died, countless Metal Eater would accompany it. All Titans would choose to self-destruct. They would rather have their origin flame return to the world than let it be devoured to increase the Metal Eater's strength. However, there were exceptions to everything. Occasionally, a newborn would be born under the battlefield and attract the origin flame's energy.

Iron 72 was the commander of the Iron Fortress. He had many things to do. After confirming that Adam's origin flame really belonged to a Titan, he did not have the time to care about such trivial matters. He said, "There's no problem with the origin flame. He's one of us. Since you discovered it, you can lead him for a while. Teach him how to obtain energy and basic knowledge. After this attack, the Metal Eater will be dormant for a while. Let him join your team and get used to the battle. "

Burning Wind 777 gladly accepted the order. Taking care of a newborn was an easy job. He could use this time to optimize and repair his weapon system.

At this time, Adam was wandering around the streets of the Iron Fortress. He did not enter any of the sensitive areas that were obviously guarded. He only used his senses to collect information about the appearance of this race called Titan.

The Iron Fortress was huge. Whether it was the walls, the streets, or the buildings, they were all unimaginably large. However, this was normal. After all, the creatures that lived here were all giant creatures. There were no public facilities in the city that ordinary small carbon-based creatures would need. Instead, there were signs for energy replenishment, high-quality energy sales, body polishing, power furnace maintenance, origin flame beautification, and many other strange things.

Compared to the simple and boring situation of the previous mission world, the unique civilization of Titan was too much for Adam to take in. He felt like he was very curious about everything.

It was not until this mission that he felt that he had made the right choice in choosing the exploratory path. Experiencing the various mysterious civilizations in the Ether Void was his favorite thing other than research.

With this thought in mind, Adam walked towards the high-quality energy store. He wanted to see what kind of energy the origin flame was powered by.

At this time, a loud rumbling sound came from behind him. A familiar voice sounded in his ear. "Mithril boy, this is not a place you can enter now. Recklessly adding energy to the power furnace before the origin flame evolves will cause your body to malfunction."

Adam stopped and turned around. "Hello, Burning Wind 777."
