"You... you guys got eaten too?" When Golganneth saw Aiden and Aggramar fall into the stomach one after another, the shock in his heart was imaginable.
In fact, in the half hour since being eaten, Golganneth had been trying to find ways to leave, but he had tried hundreds of methods, whether simple and violent or complex and clever, all to no avail.
After this Old God ate him, he ignored him, and even his artifact horn "Sha'gahn" was not taken away.
But this was still useless for his escape, and instead greatly deepened his fear.
Because inside the other party's stomach, all his power was suppressed.
Trying to use transformation to burst open Tarim's stomach was impossible.
The energy he could draw from the surroundings was only enough for him to transform into a giant hundreds of meters tall.
And such a height, to the massive Tarim, was not even a grain of rice in its stomach.
Moreover, the power of the horn was also greatly limited here.
The sound waves it emitted, after being buffered by the other party's closed stomach pouch, did not cause the slightest damage to Tarim's body at all.
After trying various methods, Golganneth had to admit that this Old God was definitely the most bizarre one he had ever seen in his life.
He had no way to defeat Tarim from the inside.
If others couldn't rescue him, he would really be trapped inside for the rest of his life.
Golganneth couldn't feel the situation outside either.
This half hour felt like years.
Seeing Aiden and Aggramar fall in one after another, especially seeing Aggramar, he was almost desperate.
He thought that Aggramar, with the help of Taeshalach, could transform into a giant Titan outside and hopefully break open Tarim's stomach to release him.
But entering here would only lead to the same fate as his.
"No, not entirely," Aggramar replied dully.
Seeing that Golganneth was temporarily unharmed, he was relieved a little.
After meeting the other party in this disgusting stomach of the Old God, he explained the process of entering.
After listening, Golganneth couldn't help but roar, "Why didn't you attack it from the outside? Isn't jumping in here throwing yourselves into the net?
This evil god's stomach has various energy fields that limit our energy use.
Inside, we can't fight it at all!
You... you guys are too reckless!"
The Wrathguard was simply filled with regret.
He didn't expect Aiden to take the initiative to save him, but now, after hearing what Aggramar said, he would rather the other party had only unlocked Taeshalach—in that case, Aggramar would definitely not have jumped in rashly, but would have chosen to blast open Tarim's stomach from the outside in giant Titan form.
This way, regardless of whether Tarim could be killed or not, Golganneth would have a great chance of escaping.
Unlike now, encountering a powerful and bizarre Old God, he was completely helpless against it!
"It's impossible to blast open Tarim's skin from the outside, unless we use means regardless of the consequences, using energy far exceeding the planet's tolerance limit.
Moreover, even if we shatter its outer shell, we still can't get out," Aiden withdrew his gaze from the surrounding environment and looked at the very frustrated Golganneth, continuing, "Before I came in, I read Tarim's data.
Its characteristics are devouring, transformation, and fusion.
Any injury, as long as it doesn't exceed its tolerance limit, it can repair its body by devouring other objects.
After this rebirth, it absorbed the power essence of three fallen sun gods, coupled with its own power, which has caused its tentacles to spread throughout the entire Prime Material Plane and the sub-planes.
Most importantly, its stomach is not the kind of stomach that exists alone in the body in our common sense, but a stomach that can completely exist independently of the outer shell."
"What does that mean?" Golganneth understood most of it, but there was still a small part that he didn't understand.
Mainly the last sentence—"I'm talking about its stomach!"
Aiden used his sword to pry open the folds of Tarim's stomach wall, seeing clusters of semi-virtualized tiny tentacles in the folds, frantically wriggling, absorbing and transforming the objects decomposed by the gastric juices, and then transporting them through special energy channels to the parts of Tarim's body that needed them.
"Its body is just a shell, a feeding organ, only this stomach is its root.
If we could shatter its outer shell in Silithus, we would also find that there is no stomach inside.
Its stomach is not in the body we saw in Silithus, but in this independent plane we are in now," Aiden looked at the two Titans of the Pantheon, who were dumbfounded, "Do you understand now?"
Aggramar and Golganneth nodded mechanically.
They completely understood, but couldn't imagine why there would be such a "weird" Old God?
The outer shell and the stomach pouch are not in the same body, or even in the same plane?
"But, how do you know?" Aggramar couldn't help but ask.
They, the two Titans, had absolute authority to access the Pantheon's database and were confident that they had already mastered the information about "God of Mountains" Tarim.
Ten thousand years ago, the Titans sent by the Pantheon had come to this planet and were the main force in killing Tarim.
This dead evil god was of course added to the Pantheon's database.
The Pantheon's information showed that Tarim was a parasitic symbiont parasitic in the core of the Silithus planet.
Its special ability was to gain power by devouring other objects, mainly living things.
Its skin was very tough and its size was huge.
The Titans also paid a huge sacrifice to kill it back then.
After testing, the Titans believed that Tarim had been completely eliminated, including its soul.
This completely dead "parasitic symbiont" did not leave behind any fissionable living organs, such as the heart and brain, nor did it leave behind a soul.
Based on the Pantheon's rich combat experience with the Old Gods, it was sufficient to judge that Tarim had no possibility of resurrection.
But the fact was right in front of them, Tarim not only resurrected, but was even more powerful than before!
If everything was as Aiden said, and the Titans only destroyed Tarim's outer shell back then, and didn't realize that it had a stomach independent of the Prime Material Plane, and that was its main body, then all of this could be explained.
But how could Aiden know the information that even the Pantheon didn't know?
"Because my authority is a little higher than yours," Aiden was not lying to them.
He had the highest Titan authority and could directly read the target's data and information.
A few months ago, when Deathwing launched the Cataclysm, he had to use Deathwing's authority to access the Azeroth model system, but after returning from Imaginary Earth, he could now read any target's information without any effort.
This information was the real thing that described the essence of the world, much more reliable than the Pantheon's database.
It was precisely because he had access to Tarim's information and discovered the strangeness of this Old God that he resolutely jumped in.
"Really?" The two Titans of the Pantheon couldn't believe it.
There were a total of six Titans in the Pantheon.
Except for "Father of the Gods" Aman'Thul, who held the highest authority, the authority of the other five Titans was actually similar.
Golganneth's mother, "Life-Binder" Eonar, was Aman'Thul's consort, and in principle, her authority should be second only to one person and above all others, but in reality, her authority was the same as "Shaper" Norgannon and "Sculptor" Khaz'goroth, and she did not gain substantially higher authority because she was Aman'Thul's consort.
Even Golganneth's own authority was the same as the previous few.
In the Pantheon, only Aggramar, who was last to be added, had slightly lower authority, and this was more because he was not a member of the Pantheon since its inception and his strength was slightly weaker than the previous few.
In fact, in terms of reading confidential information, the five Titans of the Pantheon were equal.
This meant that if any Titan of the Pantheon other than Aman'Thul came, they could only retrieve the information about Tarim recorded in the Pantheon's database, and would not be able to discover the true details of this bizarre evil god.
Comparing it this way, Golganneth easily came to a conclusion—that Aiden's authority was higher than the five Titans of the Pantheon!
As for how he compared to Aman'Thul and Sargeras, only they themselves, as the parties involved, would know.
He couldn't help but recall the first time he met Aiden a few days ago, when the other party asked him to call him "Uncle"—at the time, he thought that Sargeras had possessed this body, but it later proved not to be the case—could it be that Aman'Thul and Sargeras really had a long-lost brother that all of them didn't know about?
Aiden seemed to understand his thoughts and smiled at him: "The reason I asked you to call me uncle is not to take advantage of you."
The reason it was called "Uncle" instead of "Granduncle" was because when Emma separated the highest authority of Sargeras's heart, it was separated in the order of Aman'Thul—Sargeras—Aiden, so this also became the ranking of the three highest authority Titans.
But in fact, Aiden was very clear that he was not the real Titan Aiden, the real one was still protecting Emma on Imaginary Earth.
But at the same time, he was not an imposter—therefore, from the order of the timeline, he was born in the 20th century, two or three hundred years earlier than the three highest authority Titans.
Moreover, Aiden was the real boss of "Titan's Heart" company, and the three highest authority Titans were actually his "property"—it's just that these properties were more special.
"Since that's the case, what should we do?" Golganneth quickly accepted Aiden's new identity, because he thought that if he wasn't Aman'Thul's son and the other party was his uncle, how could Aiden have taken the huge risk, knowing that Tarim's stomach was extremely dangerous, and still jumped in to save him?
This uncle, he recognized wholeheartedly!
"Tarim's own strength is not as powerful as we imagined, it's just more special.
The plane where its stomach pouch is located is not created by itself, but an elemental plane, or rather, a transitional plane that connects to both the four major elemental planes and the Prime Material Plane."
Aggramar and Golganneth listened intently.
"This plane is actually very, very small!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Aiden's mouth.
