"No, that's too big of a target. The Seventh Apostle … it's coming. Change the attack formation!"
Garfield excitedly commanded the Titans to get into position. The main power core began to transmit energy to his body. After a series of ripples, 15 Floating Fortresses hid in the folds of space. Adam activated the magnetic field to disturb the environment, helping the fortresses to hide deeper.
"655 kilometers away. Ready to charge."
"25 kilometers away. Warming up."
"85 kilometers away. Charge 25%."
"65 kilometers away. Charge 655%."
"0 kilometers away. Charge 605%."
"Coordinates (7908,8090,9109). Fire!"
The Floating Fortresses formed triangles in groups of three. Every three triangles would combine again, and sixty fortresses would form six large triangles. These six groups were also arranged according to the triangles. In front of them was a hexagram array formed by the six Floating Fortresses. Their energy flowed through the circuits into the hexagram array and gathered together. Garfield pressed the release button as ordered.
The Hyperdimensional Perception of the Seventh Apostle that came from thousands of miles away was frantically alerted. It stopped its body without hesitation and wanted to escape. However, the strong spatial and energy disturbances interfered with its movements. It only felt that everything around it had become sticky. For a moment, it couldn't even turn around. Even the waving of its tentacles became slower.
In the next second, it saw the transparent energy pillar in front of it. The billions of eyes around it spewed out blood at the same time. Its tentacles left its body and endless flames appeared out of thin air. It turned from red to blue, then purple, and finally grey. It emitted a terrifying energy aura.
Then, it collided with the energy pillar.
Only then did the sound of an explosion enter its ears.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The grey flames collided with the energy pillar and a series of annihilation reactions occurred, releasing a huge amount of energy and explosions. The grey flames' quality was very high. It actually blocked the energy pillar for two seconds. However, at this moment, the change in quantity led to a change in quality. The grey flames were finally drowned and the energy pillar blasted its body.
It was still unable to dodge. Its defensive force field collapsed upon contact. The energy pillar hit its body directly. It was carbonized, incinerated, evaporated. All kinds of phenomena that the body couldn't withstand happened at the same time. A quarter of the Seventh Apostle's body disappeared in an instant.
"Ah! Ah! Wu! "
It let out a mournful howl. That sound even had a sobbing tone. This kind of pain was something it had never experienced since it was born. Compared to the physical injury, the psychological blow and fear were even heavier. After destroying Blade City, everything was out of its control. It knew that it was finished. It knew better than anyone how cruel 'Father' was. This time, the Devourer would definitely not let it go. Its end would be a billion times more miserable than the fifth apostle's.
"It's all your fault! It's all because of you! Why don't you obediently let me catch you! Why did you come to the Titan Plane to help these pieces of scrap metal? "
Anger rose from the bottom of its heart, and it blamed all of this on Adam.
"Father won't let me go, I'm dead."
"I want you to die with me!"
He wanted to drag Adam down with him, but Swosh King, who had just recovered from his shock, would not give him the chance to do so. The Seventh Apostle's strength had been weakened to the extreme, and he had absolute confidence in getting rid of this great enemy of the Titans.
"Tinder Cannon!"

It had been five days since the attack of the Gold Devourer and the death of the Seventh Apostle.
After the death of the Seventh Apostle, the Gold Devourers on the battlefield left behind several dozen corpses before retreating from the battlefield like a tide, not intending to continue fighting. Meanwhile, none of the Titan royalty fell. The war between the two races entered a strange period of peace. Although the ordinary races were still fighting fiercely for days on end, the super dimensional and above individuals all went into hibernation.
The two cannons of the floating fortress had consumed ten percent of the entire race's energy reserves. Although Swosh King was impressed by its power, he had to reluctantly admit that it could only be used as a trump card. It could not be used as a conventional weapon.
However, Adam's plan to modify the frontline fortress was unanimously approved. The royals recognized the huge advantage of this method of warfare. Its superior mobility could reduce a large number of casualties.
At this time, they realized that it was not feasible to keep every inch of their territory at this stage. The current peace meant that the Gold Devourers were preparing for an even fiercer attack. At that time, such a long frontline would only be riddled with holes. Therefore, they had to give up a portion of their territory. If they won the war, these lands would naturally return to the Titans. If they lost, even their race would not exist. Keeping the land would be useless.
Adam was very pleased that the royals could think this through. During this period of time, Adam took out some people from the various fortresses and distributed the modification work in the form of missions. With the ruins of Blade City as the starting point, the modifications on the north and south sides were carried out simultaneously.
The busiest one was not Adam, but the Forest Elves.
The frontline consumed a lot of energy every day. Adam summoned all the Forest Elves and had them plant conversion fungi on every piece of land on the Titan Continent. They abandoned natural reproduction and relied on the Forest Elves' power as catalysts. The hundred or so Nature Controllers almost all collapsed from exhaustion several times.
Fifteen days later, the initial modification of the fortress was completed. Adam and Garfield split up and continuously drew maglev formations. They wanted to make this race fly in the shortest time possible.
Seven days later, all the modifications were completed. The Titans pulled back their defensive line and gave up sixty percent of their territory.
The Gold Devourers' behavior was becoming more and more strange. The number of people participating in the war was decreasing. They even watched the Titans' actions without sending out any Hyperdimensional creatures to stop them.
This made some ordinary Titans feel that they had already won the war. However, Adam and the royals' hearts were getting heavier and heavier.

King City.
"The Gold Devourers have no reason to retreat. The death of one apostle will not affect the overall situation. There can only be one reason why they are doing this — the Devourers are about to succeed," King Faust said.
Adam nodded. "I think so too. However, there is something strange. Won't the erosion of the origin affect the plane? So far, the entire continent is still peaceful. There are no abnormalities. What is the Devourers doing? Or rather, what is the treasure left behind by the Titan God? "
At this point, Adam and the Titans were in the same boat. There was no point in hiding it. It would only make things worse. King Faust said straightforwardly, "The treasure is the AllSpark. It is the first flame born from the origin. The Titan God was born from it. After becoming a God, he split it from his own flame. It is the only thing we know that can help us become Gods."
"In other words …"
"In other words, after the Devourers devour the AllSpark, they will also become Gods."
