Chapter 228

Although the mages were synonymous with destruction and slaughter in the hearts of the mages in the Void, the mages themselves didn't think so. If cooperation was more effective than destruction and sacrifice for the race, the mages wouldn't reject the idea of using gentler methods.

Since there was such a premise, the previous method of causing chaos and causing them to kill each other wasn't advisable. That would easily cause irreparable casualties. Once the mages arrived one day and the Titans discovered the culprit, with their straightforward personalities, they would definitely fight to the death.

In this way, Adam could join the war as a Titan and obtain enough military achievements. He could become a sage and contribute some research results. This way, he could gain the trust of the Titans. Then, once the coordinates were confirmed and the information gathered was complete, he could contact the royalty and reveal his identity. At that time, no matter what the Titans chose, Adam and the Mage World would be able to deal with them easily.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Adam didn't want to lead the mage army to invade the Titan Plane. This was because the Origin Flame gave him a very good feeling. A race with such a dedication shouldn't become an enemy.

The Titans had the qualifications to become a civilization.

The Iron Castle was peaceful for the next month. The Gold-Devourers in the area needed to lick their wounds and reproduce after the large-scale attack. The Titans also needed to rest and replenish their combat strength. This peace was an unspoken rule developed from the long-term conflict. Unless a full-scale war started again, it wouldn't be easily broken.

During this month, Adam wandered around the Iron Castle. Apart from the sensitive areas, he left his footprints on every inch of the Iron Castle. However, the place he visited the most was still the library.

In the library, apart from metallurgical weapons and energy knowledge that required military achievements, everything was free and open. Adam also learned about the history of the Titans.

The details weren't important. The history of the Gold-Devourers was told to all the Titans without any concealment.

This powerful natural enemy was actually created by the Titans themselves.

In ancient times, a great sage of the Titan royal family had used the cells of creatures from other planes to create this species. Originally, he had wanted to use them as accompanying creatures of the Titans. They could be used to extract minerals, convert energy, maintain fire seeds, or use as external weapons for the Titans.

However, the Wise Man and all the Titans had underestimated the power of the Metal Eaters. Because of a mistake, the Wise Man's Metal Eaters had betrayed them. This Hyperdimensional Metal Eaters had caused great losses to the Titans. A small number of Royal Family members, a large number of Royal Family members, and Knight Commanders had died as a result.

What was even more frightening was that after leaving the Wise Ones, it had rebelled and ruled over the rest of the Gold-Devouring Tribe. Because of the initial panic of the Titans, a large number of Origin Flames had been devoured, and the entire Gold-Devouring Tribe had completed the evolution of life form and power level.

They occupied three-fifths of the Titan Plane's territory, closed, occupied, and corroded all passages leading to other planes. They were the Titans' natural enemies and mortal enemies.

The Iron Fortress was just an ordinary city in the border defense line. There were hundreds of other cities like the Iron Fortress on the entire line of defense. Together, they maintained the first line of defense.

In other words, in the war between the two races, the Titans were actually at a disadvantage. They could only passively defend.

"Looks like this world is very complicated."

Not only were the two races at odds with each other, but Adam was also worried about the plane that produced the Metal Eaters' mother cells. No matter what methods and knowledge the Wise Men of the Titans had used to modify the cells, they were all based on the instincts of the cells. Adam suspected that there might be even more terrifying creatures in the Origin Plane.

"At most, it's the Abyss. Those beasts only eat, eat, and eat." The Devil curled his lips in disdain.

Just then, Burning Wind 777's voice was heard. "I'm going to lead a team to patrol the south of the Iron Fortress. I'm going to eliminate any Metal Eaters that cross the border. Do you want to come with me?"

Outside the Iron Fortress, Burning Wind 777, who was in the form of a rocket launcher, and nine Titans of different forms were making final preparations. When he saw Adam, he shouted, "Mithril Boy, over here!"

"You're still a newborn. You don't have to fight. You just have to protect yourself. Oh, right. You can't even protect yourself." Burning Wind 777's body creaked. He was a little troubled.

Adam was just about to say that he could protect himself when Burning Wind 777 said, "Just follow behind us. Bluewater 902 will shift the defensive field toward you."

Bluewater 902 was a blue giant that was more than 75 meters tall. He looked at Adam and said, "That's right. I'm a support type. Just follow me. I heard you were born a month ago. Don't be afraid. Almost every Titan has to go to war. You're just a little early. "

Bluewater 902 was very friendly. Or rather, every Titan was this friendly. They didn't think that their weak brethren were a burden. Instead, they did their best to help.

"The few Metal Eaters that appeared in the south are not of high levels. As long as you are careful, you will gain a lot of benefits. Their excrement is made of high-purity ores, which will be very useful for your next evolution," another pure black giant said in a low muffled voice.

"Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. Every Titan will do the same. It's our mission to pass on the torch," Burning Wind 777 said generously. "Let's go. I've recently fallen in love with a high-leveled concentrated energy. I'll kill a few more Metal Eaters to earn some war points."

The Titans laughed and agreed. Although they were metal lifeforms, they had their own hobbies and things they liked. This was no different from flesh and blood lifeforms.

Adam discovered that they would automatically form a formation with great tacit understanding as they advanced. For a moment, Adam only felt that no matter where he walked, he would destroy the harmony of the formation. Bluewater 902 saw Adam's predicament and kindly pointed out a direction, saying, "Remember the coordinates you're standing at in the force field. Just follow this line and move forward. Pay attention to change direction according to the fire seed's fluctuations."

After Adam entered the formation, he found that his fire seed had entered a field and became an energy node with the other fire seeds. This field changed according to Bluewater 902's will. Miraculously, Adam instantly understood what he had to do.

Burning Wind 777 said casually, "You're just wrapped in the force field. You're not part of the force field yet, so it doesn't matter if you walk in the wrong direction. If you encounter danger that you can't handle, just hide behind it or run away."

"We'll be fighting a few large groups of Level 8 Metal Eaters in a while. It's not the one you encountered when you were born. Don't try to show off."
