Spellcasting Gods

Fortunately, the main body, reinforced with magical metal, withstood the test, continuously spewing out papers filled with unintelligible symbols.

It goes without saying that these symbols are either a script unique to the Titans or a supernatural power system that only the Titans can master.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Cheng copied down all the symbols. Through repeated screening and elimination, he finally confirmed that there were only more than 170 symbols in total. The rest were either duplicates or had only slight differences in size and shape.

Just as he was frowning and deep in thought as he stared at the symbols, the fork-shaped thing on Argus's head suddenly lit up again, followed by a voice echoing in his mind.

"who are you?"

"who am I?"

"This is where?"

……

With one simple yet naive question after another, the Titan, who had been asleep, slowly opened its eyes and stood up from the groove.

His soul was in such a chaotic state that he had no idea what was happening, and he began to wander aimlessly around the hall.

Instead of answering the question, Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to observe the Titan in front of him, who was full of contradictions and hesitation.

After a good ten minutes, having confirmed that Argus showed no signs of aggression, he finally spoke, saying, "You are Argus, a Titan born from the soul of this planet."

"Argus? Is that my name? Why don't I remember anything!" Titan's emotions seemed to be fluctuating intensely, and his eyes were brimming with extremely terrifying energy storms.

"Do you still remember the name Sargeras?" Zhang Cheng asked cautiously, maintaining a safe distance.

He wasn't sure whether the Argus he was currently facing was the ultimate weapon of destruction corrupted by the Dark Titans, or whether it had inadvertently awakened the twisted nature of the Star Soul.

“Sargeras…Sargeras…I…I think I have a vague recollection of him.”

At the mere mention of the Dark Titan's name, Argus immediately fell silent, a deep fear appearing on his face.

But after a short while, he raised his head again and asked, "Who are you? Why do I sense Sargeras's presence on you? Are you a Titan like me?"

"No, I'm not a Titan, at least not yet. As for why I've become like this, it's all because of a little accident," Zhang Cheng explained, shaking his head with a wry smile.

He never expected that this big boss, who made countless players experience what it meant to die and come back to life in the game, was actually an innocent and curious child. Coupled with his terrifying strength that could destroy everything, he gave people a cute and silly feeling.

Chapter 0893 A Leap in the Essence of Life

"Can you tell me how you feel right now? For example, what do you remember? Do you feel angry or have an urge to destroy everything?"

Confirming that the Titan in front of him, with its extremely high danger level, wouldn't suddenly attack him like a madman, Zhang Cheng's courage grew considerably, and he began to probe the other party's mental state.

"I... I don't know what I'm feeling. My memories are a jumbled mess, like I'm in endless darkness. Yes, I'm angry, incredibly angry, and I want to destroy everything I can see." Argus the Destroyer became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his eyes began to emit a terrifying red light.

But just as he was about to lose control, Zhang Cheng immediately smiled and comforted him, "Relax, don't be so tense. If you really want to know the truth, I'd be happy to tell you everything. But in exchange, you have to answer a few questions for me."

Upon hearing this, the Annihilator Argus immediately fell silent and nodded seriously: "Alright!"

"So where should we begin?" Zhang Cheng stroked his chin and shifted into a more comfortable sitting position.

“Let’s start with who I am! You mentioned before that I am a Titan born from this planet. But why do I feel that this planet is enduring unimaginable pain and suffering?” Argus the Destroyer asked the first question directly.

Without hesitation, Zhang Cheng replied, "The suffering of this planet originates from a dark titan called Sargeras. He used his immense power and forbidden knowledge to lure the Eredar into joining the Burning Legion, and then corrupted you, who was still asleep, with the fel energy he created. So from the moment you were born, you were an absolute fel titan. That's why you feel anger and crave to destroy everything you see."

“The Dark Titan Sargeras?!” Whenever this name is mentioned, Argus the Destroyer will instinctively react with the most intense reaction.

Clearly, the Supreme Leader of the Burning Legion had left an indelible mark on his soul.

“That’s right! Sargeras, the Dark Titan!” Zhang Cheng keenly noticed this and nodded seriously. “He was originally the most powerful warrior and guardian in the Titan Pantheon, but later fell into darkness for some reason. He not only destroyed all his brethren in the Pantheon, but also created the Burning Legion, constantly searching the universe for planets that nurtured star souls, either destroying them directly or turning them into what you are now.”

“I understand! He is my enemy, a powerful enemy. He is also the one who brought me and this planet to this state of disintegration.”

As he spoke these words, Argus the Destroyer radiated astonishing energy.

Especially those star-like points of light inside the body, each one seemed to be shining brightly as if it were moving horizontally.

But this state lasted for less than a minute before he fell silent again, muttering to himself with a helpless expression, "But I can't resist him, and I can't disobey his orders. I am his slave, a weapon he created."

"Yes! You are a weapon, an ultimate weapon that the Legion sees as capable of destroying the world. You can never regain your freedom except through death." Zhang Cheng didn't try to give this poor Titan any pep talk; he simply stated the other's tragic fate.

“Death? Death might be a relief. Can I ask you to kill me? At least before I cause irreparable disaster, let me get rid of Sargeras’s control.” Argus the Destroyer offered his request.

For Titans, death is not the end of life.

On the contrary, it is a release of the soul. Once you return to the star soul, any pollution will be instantly purified, and you will return to your original pure self-awareness.

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't have the power to kill a Titan. Besides, if I were to attack, you might lose your mind and be dominated by anger and destruction, and I would be the one who dies then."

“I can teach you everything about the Titans, including how to kill myself.” Argus opened his right hand, and a crystal radiating a blue glow formed in his palm. “This contains all the knowledge I have in my memory, which I believe will be very useful to you. Promise me that if one day you have the power to kill me, you will help me regain my freedom.”

"I promise you!" Zhang Cheng took the small crystal, his eyes gleaming with undisguised greed and desire.

"Thank you! I look forward to our next meeting..."

The words had barely left his mouth!

Argus the Destroyer returned to the groove and lay down, falling into a deep sleep once more.

Zhang Cheng sat there patiently for several hours until he was sure the other party wouldn't wake up again anytime soon. Then he chuckled and sighed, "What a simple-minded fellow. Let me see what's so special about Titan's knowledge."

After saying that, he directly channeled his consciousness into the crystal.

moment!

A massive amount of knowledge, never before encountered, flooded into the brain like a tidal wave, to the point that even the brain cells fused with the Mind Flayer's main brain could not withstand it, and large amounts of black blood flowed continuously from the nose, eyes, and ears.

Just as Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to faint, the crystal suddenly shattered with a crack, turning into billions of shimmering powders that rushed into his body.

Whether it was the half that had become a Titan or the half that had retained its physical form, neither of them knew why they had started to become increasingly transparent.

skin!

muscle!

skeleton!

Blood vessel!

Immune system!

Nerve conduction system!

Everything is changing rapidly!

Ultimately, he couldn't hold on any longer and lost consciousness.

I don't know how much time has passed...

It might take a few minutes, or it might take a few hours.

When Zhang Cheng opened his eyes again, he found that his body had turned into a semi-transparent dark blue, no longer like before, where one side of his body was transformed into a Titan while the other side remained the same.

Clearly, Argus helped complete the fusion of the Titan cells.

From now on, he can be considered a smaller version of a Titan life form, except that his soul has not yet reached the level of a Star Soul.

In fact, the guardians who remained in Azeroth were powerful entities created by the Titans in imitation of themselves.

However, compared to these imposters, Zhang Cheng could feel that his fusion was more perfect, a leap in the essence of life.

Looking at the energy core transformed from his heart in his chest, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly: "Perfect! This is the result I wanted. Now, it's time to leave and complete the next part, allowing my soul to undergo a sublimation as well."

Chapter 0894 Becoming a Titan

Before the Time Tower, the artificial life form Adam is busily inspecting the thousands of mysterious symbols laid out around him, repeatedly comparing them to a list stored in his memory bank to ensure that not even the slightest error will occur.

Although such tedious work would lead to apathy or drowsiness for most intelligent beings, he remained fully focused on loading.

In fact, this was the fifth time in the last ten days that he had inspected this huge device that covered almost five square kilometers, but each time he was able to find three or five minor problems.

“Enough, Adam. There’s no need to examine it so meticulously. A slight error won’t affect the entire ritual. Don’t forget, I’m no longer a fragile human, but a Titan who can emerge unscathed from a thermonuclear explosion,” the blue giant standing not far in front of the tower said.

He was none other than Zhang Cheng, who had returned from Argus a month earlier.

It goes without saying that what he needs to do now is to completely devour the Star Soul Embryo he brought back from the Harry Potter world.

But this was no easy task. Even with the vast amount of Titan-related knowledge he had acquired from Argus, he had to prepare for a full month.

If he succeeds, he will gain overwhelming power that no mortal, or even a god, can match.

“As you wish, Master.” Adam bowed with one hand on his chest, then stood on a stone disc, one foot on the surface of the huge energy sphere in the center.

hum!

After a pleasant energy vibration, all the runes within a five-kilometer radius began to glow, reflecting the light from the top of the tower.

Zhang Cheng knew the time was right, so he took a step forward, grabbed the ball of light, opened his mouth, and swallowed it.

next second...

boom!

With a violent explosion, he himself transformed into a giant fireball, radiating endless light and heat, just like the sun.

"The Vibration Array is activated!"

"Fusion Array activated!"

"Soul Stabilization Array activated!"

"Energy Compression Array activated!"

……

Accompanied by Adam's emotionless voice, the massive, pre-prepared magic arrays began to be activated one after another, ensuring that Zhang Cheng, transformed into a small star, would not completely destroy this place in the void.

Of course, that's all he can do at best; he can't even interfere with the entire transformation process. All he can do is observe and record all the changes and data for future reference and learning.

Soon, under the scorching heat of the small star, the ecosystem around the space-time tower was instantly devastated. Plants and small animals alike died within minutes, water was evaporated, and the land cracked into small patches.

If viewed from above, it resembles skin with psoriasis, densely packed together, making even a normal person feel uneasy and their scalp tingle.

However, Adam clearly didn't care about any of that. He kept his eyes glued to the readings on the instrument, and his previously expressionless face finally broke into one of excitement and fervor.

Because now he finally understands why his creator was so obsessed with surpassing the limits of his own life.

Compared to these beings called Titans, all life forms on Earth, and the civilizations they have created, are utterly insignificant.

As for Zhang Cheng, who was at the center of the fireball, he had completely lost his body and was staring at the fragile star soul wrapped in the deepest part of the light ball in the form of a soul.

It is so pure, so perfect, so breathtaking.
