Wendy, Ayesha, and all the Titans... The friendship is so touching! I love everything happened on Titania.
The Titan God smiled and shook his head.
The metal on his body moved quickly, and his form shrank until he was about five hundred meters tall---around the same height as some transdimensional mages in their true forms.
"I'm not the Titan God," he said. "I inherited the memories from the Genesis Flame and now know everything that has happened to the Titans over the past hundreds of thousands of years. My name is Veigar Molybdenum." As he spoke, he handed the crystal ball back to the transdimensional mage. "Please accept my gift."
...
The name Veigar Molybdenum spread quickly among the Titans. Without any dispute, he became the sitting lord of the Titans. He represented the Titans in agreeing to become a vassal race of the Mage World.
Once the dimensional hub was completed and the second wave of mage legions arrived, the Titans would enter the Mage World through the hub.
At that time, Veigar Molybdenum would meet with the Plane Guardian Annecroft and the Third Tower on behalf of his race.
Veigar Molybdenum didn't harm the relationship between the two worlds; instead, he made negotiations and the workings of Titan society more efficient.
The remaining twelve Titan lords were relieved. They were not high in the original Royals order. After the fall of ancient Titans like Lord Fast, they struggled to keep the race going. Veigar Molybdenum's arrival gave them a strong leader again, and they handed over their power without hesitation.
Veigar Molybdenum was a quick learner. In no time, he absorbed the more advanced war strategies of the Mage World, adapted them, and put them into practice. The Titans' once simple army quickly became more diverse.
The mages welcomed this change since a stronger vassal race boosted the overall power of the Mage World. They shared knowledge with the Titans that didn't involve restricted secrets.
The Titans were also pleased. They had long wanted the powerful alchemical products the mages constantly produced, but without a true ruler, they could only trade for them with their limited resources. Most of what they had wasn't valuable, so they got very little in return.
But now things are different. Veigar Molybdenum, through trade, acquired a large number of items from the mages that could immediately strengthen the ordinary members of the Titan race.
Everything in Titania was moving in a positive direction. Although the number of Diluses was still large, the scale of victory was slowly tipping in favor of the mages as time passed. Once Ayesha and Wendy completed their tasks, the mages would secure a decisive victory.
Every time Adam looked up, he could see changes happening on the Devourer. Ayesha and Wendy's methods were mysterious; although the Devourer was still an eighth-level creature, it could no longer resist their spell magic.
Adam occasionally chatted with Wendy. He learned that they were extracting the life codes and soul codes of the Dilus race from the Devourer's body. Once they successfully decoded them, the Diluses would be even more helpless than lambs waiting for slaughter.
This time came quickly. Five days later, everyone in the Plane witnessed the Devourer disintegrate within the force field. Large fragments of its body and soul were captured, and then Ayesha and Wendy restored its body, sealing it inside a two-meter-high, barrel-shaped container.
At the same time, six warships left their original positions and moved to the spatial nodes. The transdimensional mages gathered around them.
From the warships, dimensional hub belts were released, and the mages guided these belts, gradually opening an enormous portal.
The power of the Heart of the Mage World began to flow through the portal.
As the energy from Mage World's Origin passed through the Mage Network and into each mage's body, their Mage Armor automatically appeared.
At that moment, Titania's own Origin showed signs of unrest, but ultimately, it did nothing, allowing the Heart of the Mage World to arrive.
Veigar Molybdenum led the Titan Royals into the sky, standing on the Dimensional Hub Platform.
Lord Svorsi, who should have been with them, slowly descended to stand beside Adam.
"The Origin will be sacrificed, won't it?" Lord Svorsi asked quietly.
Adam nodded and replied, "Your situation is different from those planes and races that are directly destroyed. Soon, you'll be living within the orbit of the Mage World. Although the Heart of the Mage World will absorb your Origin, this won't affect you much. The Heart of the Mage World is inclusive and can replicate your current living conditions within your new sub-plane, only better."
Veigar Molybdenum had already explained this to the Titans, but Lord Svorsi still felt a tinge of sadness. He sighed and stood silently with Adam, waiting for the dimensional hub to be completed.
The power of the Origin grew stronger, raising Titania's energy level continuously.
Adam sensed that it had reached the level of an ordinary region in the Mage World.
Several minutes later, the dimensional hub belts completed their final connection, and the portal stabilized. Adam could now see directly through to the other side, where countless battlemages awaited.
Ayesha stood alone before the portal. The Third Tower's work was now done. The remaining combat tasks were no longer their responsibility, and they would return directly to the Mage World.
Wendy appeared beside Adam in an instant, smiling as she handed him a scroll. Then, with a playful but somewhat serious tone, she patted his shoulder. "Work hard, and quickly become a transcendent mage. We'll meet again then."
With that, she waved at Adam and left Titania with her sister.
The second wave of mages arriving on Titania was even larger and more complex. After receiving part of the Devourer's code left by Ayesha, they quickly created targeted potions and spells.
The tide of battle swiftly turned in favor of the mages. A large number of Diluses were captured and transported back to the Mage World, destined to become either slaves or experimental subjects.
During this time, the Titans also left their homeland in batches. The mages allowed them to take everything that belonged to them from this world.
Adam bid farewell to several familiar Titans, promising to meet again in the Mage World. They assured him that their friendship would never change, and that the Titans would always be Adam's strongest supporters.
Days quickly became peaceful. Adam spent most of his time researching Ripple Alloy, while the rest was spent mingling with alchemists, paying them to help modify his magical constructs.
A month later, the void around Titania shook violently. All the transdimensional mages acted to stabilize the space.
Then, the void split open, revealing a massive crack, from which a magnificent starship slowly emerged.
It was so enormous that Titania seemed like a small child in comparison. If it hadn't restrained its mass, Adam had no doubt that Titania would have been torn apart by the resulting gravitational storm.
His Holiness Maxis had arrived.
