Titan King: Ascension of the Giant Chapter 1318 Clash of Bloodlines

Silverwood Realm. Staghelm City.

Unlike the intense physical responses displayed by Caelus, Kronos, Pallas, and Kaelen, the unborn infant within Isilra’s womb reacted with nothing more than a subtle tremor.

"Mother, did you sense that?"

Isilra was seated at the Moonwell's edge. One of her hands was placed protectively over her stomach, while the other brushed against the glowing water, siphoning pure essence to sustain the life developing within her.

"He... he seemed to vibrate."

"It is a ripple of the soul," the Demigod of the Moonwell answered, her tone melodic and gentle. "He is maturing."

Even a Demigod could not entirely grasp the intricacies of such profound soul resonance, yet the sensation was undeniable. The small life inside Isilra had just undergone a significant surge in strength.

"This environment is ideal for him," the Demigod remarked. "Nurtured by the waters of the Moonwell and born from its grace. He may very well emerge as a Moon Elf."

She placed immense expectations upon Lorian. To her, he represented the destiny of Staghelm City.

"I hope he isn't in a rush," Isilra said with a smile, her expression brimming with maternal affection. "Ideally, he will wait until my own ascension to Demigod status."

Her eyes softened with happiness. "If I have attained the rank of Demigod by the time of his birth, I can provide him with everything. I can guarantee his safety as he grows."

Destiny worked in mysterious ways. She had gone from the brink of total destruction to finding love with Orion and bearing his child.

"Indeed, that would be the most favorable outcome," the Demigod agreed aloud.

Secretly, however, she let out a sigh.

Staghelm City had exhausted countless eras of hoarded resources just to elevate her to the second stage of the Demigod realm. For Isilra to achieve Cultivation at that level, the required amount of Faith Energy was staggering. At their current pace, it would take several millennia.

Unless...

Unless Orion provided support. Unless the Champions Alliance decided to step in.

The thought crossed her mind, but she kept it to herself. She gazed at Isilra and the unborn child—both were her kin, children of the Moonwell.

Orion is a man of logic. He will recognize the worth of this child.

How does a father choose between an heir born of an Arch-Lord and one born of a Demigod? The gap in potential is vast. He will take the necessary steps for his successor.

As the sun dipped below the horizon of Staghelm City, the moon’s image was mirrored perfectly in the well’s glassy surface. A soft breeze stirred Isilra’s hair as she began to hum a haunting, beautiful tune that echoed through the quiet woods.

Titanion Realm. The Northern Bastion of Menethis.

The Day of Reckoning had finally arrived.

The howling wind carried the scent of acrid smoke and the screams of monsters. Heavy, dark clouds blanketed the sky, obscuring the sun as if the heavens themselves were imprisoned.

On the battlefield, the ground shook under the weight of a massive stampede of beasts and xeno-warriors. The earth was torn apart, turned into a mess of mud by heavy boots and panicked hooves.

A heavy, suffocating aura of slaughter weighed down on everyone present.

Standing atop the ramparts, Pallas experienced it for the first time—the crushing, absolute intent to kill. It felt as though the world itself demanded his death.

Thump.

Thump. Thump.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

His heart hammered against his chest like a drum of war.

In the midst of the mayhem, the deafening noise, and the chaotic violence, a primitive instinct rose within him. His Giant blood began to simmer. He felt the urge to howl, to release the carnage that was his heritage.

"Do not let the environment dictate your actions."

Just as Pallas prepared to let out a roar, a small hand was placed firmly on his head.

"Master your impulses. Maintain your composure. That is your only path to survival."

A wave of green magic flowed over him, soothing and cool. The burning blood in his veins calmed at once. Elara stood next to him, her face showing no emotion.

"If you lack self-control on the battlefield, you will never attain the heights Father has reached."

She gestured toward the chaotic swarm of enemies rushing the fortifications. "Command the battle with your intellect. Do not let the fight consume you. Observe them, Pallas. Do you wish to be like those swine?"

She was pointing at the War-Boars—colossal, tusked monsters acting as the front line. They were mere fodder, utilized to soak up the first wave of arrows and spells.

Most perished without ever understanding their fate, their minds consumed by bloodlust as they charged blindly into the slaughter.

"Sister... I need to fight!" Pallas ground his teeth. He was a spirited youth, raised within the brutal fighting pits of the Stoneheart Horde. Holding back the urge to crush his enemies was a physical agony.

"I wish to fight as well," Elara said, her voice devoid of emotion. "But we do not fight without a plan."

She watched the bloodshed with eyes that appeared far too experienced for her age. To her, this scene wasn't frightening; it was ordinary.

While they spoke, the Alliance of the Hundred Races crashed against the walls.

Soldiers from countless species flooded forward like a rising tide, scaling the stone using magic, claws, and ladders.

They were greeted by the sophisticated engineering of the Human Kingdom.

Huge spikes erupted from the stone, impaling those who climbed. Massive pendulum blades swung from concealed gaps, slicing through entire units. Sections of the wall burst into alchemical flames, transforming the vanguard into living torches.

The conflict was in full swing. The sky was darkened by crossbow bolts. Magic detonated in brilliant, deadly flashes. Every encounter was a choreography of death and gore.

"Is this the best the Prince of the Human Kingdom can manage?"

High above, a streak of golden light clashed with a beam of black energy. They recoiled, revealing two figures hovering in the air.

Lokiviria, the Insectoid King, looked down at Theodore with a sneer. Both had reached the peak of the Legendary tier, but Lokiviria felt he held the advantage. Theodore was twenty years his senior.

"From what I recall," Theodore said calmly, his voice projected by magic, "the Insectoid Race was broken after the Giant King banished your group."

"How did you recover from that ruin so swiftly?"

Theodore’s gaze sharpened. "What disgusting forbidden technique did you employ to reach this rank so fast? Or must I explain it to you?"

In the art of psychological warfare, humans were masters. Theodore’s words hit a nerve with perfect accuracy.

His intuition was correct.

Lokiviria’s sudden rise in power was entirely due to the forbidden arts of the extra-dimensional God-Eater Insect Race, supported by massive resources from the Clown.

What Lokiviria was unaware of—and what the Clown had concealed—was that he had reached his absolute limit.

The forbidden techniques had drained his future potential. Peak Legendary was his final stop. There was no path toward becoming an Arch-Lord for him.

He possessed no future. Pawns never do.

Even the Clown’s primary avatars were considered expendable; Lokiviria was nothing more than a speck of dust.

"What do you know?!" Lokiviria shrieked.

He was too inexperienced. Instead of brushing the comment aside, his defensive reaction confirmed everything Theodore had suspected.
