"Hmm, my mother asked me to report this to the Titans, didn't she?" Sitting inside the void battleship, Muria fell into deep thought after sending out the distress signal to the Titans.
"I've already asked the Titans for help, but what about the dragons? Should I notify them too?" After less than three seconds of deliberation, Muria made his decision. "Might as well let them know. Whether the Dragon Kings come or not is up to them, but I should still notify them."
Muria decided to inform the dragons because he believed that when dealing with evil gods, the nightmare of the void, the more people involved, the better. After all, there's strength in numbers.
…
Inside the Pantheon, the Platinum Dragon God, who had been standing still like a statue on his divine throne, suddenly opened his eyes. At first, there was a hint of confusion, but it quickly turned to genuine anger.
"An evil god dares to invade our world cluster? They must be destroyed!"
"But this message... I remember who sent it..." A hint of hesitation appeared in the Platinum Dragon God's eyes. "Whatever. Whether the Titans send reinforcements or not, I'll notify a few Dragon Kings to deal with it. Any evil god's tendrils that reach into our domain must be severed."
Roar!
From the stars above, the earth below, and the depths of the ocean, enormous dragons with wings vast enough to block the sky took flight, radiating terrifying auras that caught the attention of the gods.
…
"Done. I've sent out the notification." Inside the world corrupted by the evil god, Muria's avatar smiled at his parents and then began using his full strength to clear out the seemingly endless waves of evil god minions, relieving some of the pressure on his parents.
"Good. Now all we need to do is wait."
"By the way, I notified both the Titans and the dragons," Muria added with a slight cough, sounding a bit embarrassed.
"Notifying the Titans was enough. Why bother involving the dragons? These are just evil god minions, and there's no actual evil god here," Ansol grumbled, frowning at his son, thinking Muria was making an unnecessary fuss.
"Isn't it better to have more epics on our side? Ideally, we can follow these minions' trail and take down the evil god behind them," Muria replied casually, as if it were no big deal.
Of course, he was half-joking. He figured the epics would clean up the evil god's corruption in this world, but a cross-realm expedition to slay the evil god itself? That would be quite the hassle.
…
"What is that?" On a patrol ship, an elf gazed out the porthole, eyes wide in amazement as a golden light appeared in the distant void. The light expanded, becoming a dazzling golden road that stretched all the way to them.
And walking along this golden path was an immense figure, so colossal it was almost unbelievable. Behind this figure, a faint image of a world seemed to shimmer in and out of existence.
"You're the one who sent the distress signal?" The gigantic figure soon arrived near Muria's fleet and looked down at Muria, who had just stepped out of the flagship.
"Yes, Lord Gulruk," Muria answered, standing on the flagship and gazing up at the titan, awestruck by the sheer size and majesty of the Epic Titan. It was his first time seeing a titan of such enormous stature.
"You've done well," Gulruk Lord nodded approvingly after closely inspecting Muria. From his perspective, Muria was an excellent specimen, with a good chance of becoming an epic himself one day.
After praising Muria, Gulruk Lord turned his gaze to the mid-sized world below. Unlike Muria, who had only sensed something was wrong, Gulruk immediately saw the essence of the situation—the evil god's power attempting to invade the world's core.
"Of course. This reeks of a gluttonous evil god. The audacity to extend its tendrils here!" Gulruk's eyes flickered with lightning.
Boom! With a clap of thunder, a weapon that resembled both a staff and a spear appeared in Gulruk's hand. Just as he was about to strike, something caught his attention, and he glanced toward the direction he had come from.
There, he saw three Dragon Kings flying toward him, each embodying a unique power. The dragons paused, observing both the world below and Gulruk himself.
"What are you doing here?" Gulruk, hand gripping his weapon, narrowed his eyes at the three Dragon Kings. It was unusual for multiple epics to meet by chance in the void unless they had a specific purpose. And now, three Dragon Kings had shown up at once. What were they planning?
"This isn't one of your Titan worlds. Why shouldn't we be here?" The Starshine Dragon King, a being made entirely of starlight with no physical form, responded firmly.
"Hmm?" Gulruk's hand twitched slightly on his staff, and golden lightning serpents began flashing around him, radiating from his body for dozens of kilometers.
"Don't get the wrong idea. We received a message that evil god minions had appeared here, so we came to clean them up," the Tide Dragon King, surrounded by serpentine streams of water, replied calmly, his deep blue eyes locked on Gulruk.
The three Dragon Kings had come to eliminate the evil god's minions, but they were also prepared for an encounter with an Epic Titan. Although more Dragon Kings had received the Platinum Dragon God's message, only these three had recently had contact with the Epic Titans, so they were "lucky" enough to be tasked with this mission.
"Hmm?" Gulruk's gaze shifted back to Muria.
"Well, I thought when dealing with a world-devouring evil god, it's best to have as much power on our side as possible," Muria explained with a sheepish smile, feeling the immense pressure of the ancient Titan's gaze.
"Evil god minions are one thing, but you actually notified the dragons? Do you really have so little faith in the power of our epics?"
"Well, I just thought that cleaning up the evil god's minions isn't enough. We should follow their trail and kill the evil god itself."
"Isn't that obvious? What else do you think I'm here for?"
"Wait, are you planning to...?"
"I've been asleep long enough. Now that I've awakened, I won't be going back to sleep anytime soon. I plan to visit other world clusters. It seems the outside world has forgotten the power of the Titans. I'm going to remind them."
"I'll handle the evil god corruption here. You just stand back and watch." After speaking to Muria, Gulruk turned to the three Dragon Kings, who showed no signs of leaving.
"Go ahead. It doesn't matter who clears the corruption," the Starshine Dragon King said indifferently. They were content to watch, mainly because they were curious to see just how powerful one of the oldest Titans still was.
Even though the current situation wouldn't force Gulruk to unleash his full strength, they were eager to witness at least a portion of his power. After all, compared to the ancient Titan, the combined ages of the three Dragon Kings were still much younger.
Boom!
Seeing that the three Dragon Kings had settled down, Gulruk raised his staff. In an instant, an endless sea of golden lightning appeared in the void, expanding rapidly until it engulfed the entire mid-sized world below.
"Titan Lord, my parents are still down there!" Muria cried out in panic as the scene below seemed to indicate the complete destruction of the world—his parents were still inside, after all.
"Kid, just watch." The Mountain Dragon King, usually silent, shoved Muria and his fleet aside. "Your ancestor sees far more clearly than you."
As soon as the dragon finished speaking, the sea of lightning covering the entire world began to descend, causing the planet itself to tremble.
…
"Looks like this is going to wipe out both us and the evil god minions along with this world," Muria's avatar muttered, gazing up at the sky. The once dark sky was now blanketed with golden light. Muria knew exactly what this golden light was—it had completely enveloped the entire sky.
"The battle is over." Ansol, who had been fighting nonstop for the past three years, finally lowered his spear and stood still in the sky. Standing on his shoulder, the golden dragoness also stopped waving her staff.
"What's happening?" Unlike Ansol and Atris, who remained calm, the local inhabitants fighting alongside them were panicking at the sight of the descending sea of lightning.
Roar! Howl! Hiss!
As the couple stopped fighting, the surrounding evil god minions rejoiced and charged toward them. But before they could get close, bolts of lightning fell from the sky, instantly disintegrating the creatures.
