Chapter 220: The Fallen t.i.tan And The Dark Fairy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A strong, burly, and muscular middle-aged man stood proudly in the sky. His head of blond hair was messy and unruly and reached all the way to his waist, making him look like a Super Saiyan 31.

He gave off a domineering and intimidating aura, which made one tremble with fear and alarm.

“Where is Meng Lei?”

The blond, middle-aged man looked aloof and distant as he haughtily overlooked everyone in the imperial palace, his voice booming like thunder.

“Are you looking for me?”

Meng Lei rose into the air.

“So, you’re Meng Lei?”

The blond, middle-aged man eyed Meng Lei up and down before commenting, “Valor is better demonstrated by the young, indeed!

“I’ve heard that a monster has emerged in Dragon G.o.d Empire recently. Not only did he kill the empire’s emperor, but he even wiped out the half-deities on Dragon Island.”

A dispa.s.sionate Meng Lei asked, “Who are you?”

The muscular middle-aged man replied with a smile, “I am Thackeray of the Golden Dragon-Lion clan!”

“The Golden Dragon-Lion clan?”

President Fred’s countenance changed at once.

Dirk Norway hastily asked, “Do you know of them, President?”

“The Golden-Lion clan is an extremely ancient, long-standing clan. In terms of heritage, they are second only to the four great empires.”

Fred explained, “It’s said that the clan’s Golden Dragon-Lion bloodline pa.s.sed down from generation to generation is a divine beast bloodline. Therefore, members of the clan need only to awaken their Golden Dragon-Lion bloodline, and they’ll be able to step into the Saint Domain level for sure.”

“Divine beast bloodline? Able to step into the Saint Domain level for sure?”

Dirk Norway couldn’t help but gasp.

“No one knows where the Golden Dragon-Lion clan is located. Neither does anyone how many powerhouses the clan boasts. All we know is that descendants of the Golden Dragon-Lion clan will travel to the continent for training every once in a while. Apart from that, we know nothing about them,” Fred explained with a sigh.

“The Golden Dragon-Lion clan? I don’t know of them!” Meng Lei shook his head. “Neither have I heard of them!”

“...”

Thackeray’s eyes narrowed slightly, a fierce glint flashing across the depths. Then, with a smile, he said, “It’s fine even if you don’t know us. You’ll get to know us today.

“One of the reasons for my arrival today is to congratulate you.

“First of all, congratulations on capturing Dragon G.o.d Empire, my young friend Meng Lei. From now on, you will be the master of a country and own billions of believers. Gathering power of faith, establishing a divine nation, and attaining true G.o.dhood is within sight.”

“To congratulate me?” Meng Lei’s lip corners quirked upward. “I’m afraid that isn’t your sole purpose in coming here, is it?”

“How astute of you, my young friend!”

Thackeray gave him a leisurely smile and replied, “You should know that Dragon G.o.d Empire occupies vast territory and boasts a great number of citizens. However, you’re young and lack sufficient forces backing you up, so I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for you to handle everything.

“Therefore, my purpose in coming here today is to lend you, my young friend, a helping hand and a.s.sist you by jointly managing Dragon G.o.d Empire, thereby relieving you of your worries and concerns and rendering aid to you.”

Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. Then, he looked around him and asked, “Are the few of you also thinking the same thing?”

There was only silence in the surroundings. No one answered him.

“Since you’re here, then just show yourselves,” Meng Lei said calmly. “To act so sneakily and secretively despite being a great half-deity, aren’t you behaving a little too pettily?”

“You’ve discovered them, Meng Lei!”

Thackeray, the Golden Dragon-Lion, burst into loud laughter, and then he said, “Dear all, since he has already discovered your presences, then you can just show yourselves!”

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

A few shadows flashed by and showed up beside Thackeray. Each of their presences gave off a powerful aura that easily intimidated one.

“Meng Lei, my young friend, let me make the introductions.”

Thackeray pointed at a 1,000-feet-tall giant that had firm, intertwining muscles all over him and said, “This is Bubbles the Fallen t.i.tan!

“Bubbles was once the Dark t.i.tan King of the t.i.tan Empire’s Twelve Pillar Kings, and pure Dark t.i.tan royal blood flows through his veins.”

“Bubbles the Fallen t.i.tan!” Fred’s countenance changed drastically, and he exclaimed in a low voice, “Oh my G.o.d, to think it’s actually him! Not only is he actually still alive, but he has even become a half-deity?!”

Dirk Norway quickly asked, “President, do you know of Bubbles?”

“Thackeray is right. Bubbles was indeed once one of the t.i.tan Empire’s Twelve Pillar Kings, the Dark t.i.tan King. His t.i.tle was the Black Bear King!”

Fred lowered his voice and explained, “However, Bubbles was rumored to be extremely lecherous. It’s said that he snuck into the t.i.tan imperial palace and raped the beautiful empress of the t.i.tan Empire, cuckolding the t.i.tan Emperor of that time. An armed rebellion had broken out after the incident. The outcome after that is self-evident.

“Bubbles failed in his rebellion and was suppressed by the emperor. Not only was he stripped of his Dark t.i.tan King t.i.tle, but he was also sentenced to capital punishment where he had bled to death while still alive!”

Astoundment filled Fred’s countenance at this point. “Never would I have thought that he’d actually still be alive! On top of that, he’s even become a Fallen t.i.tan! This is practically inconceivable!”

“He cuckolded the t.i.tan emperor...”

Everyone was rendered speechless by Fred’s explanation.

“A tiny little human bean like you has actually wiped out the Dragon half-deities? Unbelievable!”

The Fallen t.i.tan widened his millstone-sized eyes, which were filled with curiosity.

“You’re the first t.i.tan I’ve ever seen!”

Meng Lei was also sizing up Bubbles. A look of great interest flashed across his eyes.

“What a great honor!”

The Fallen t.i.tan burst into loud laughter. His laughter was as though the rolling thunder that reverberated throughout the surroundings.

“This is the ruler of Sunset Ranges, Ambrose the Chimera Queen!”

Thackeray gestured to a graceful and s.e.xy beauty with heavy, glamorous make-up.

“Hehe, my young friend Meng Lei has taken revenge on my behalf by slaughtering the Dragons. I have no way of repaying your great kindness, so how about I betroth myself to you?”

The Chimera Queen giggled softly with her hand over her mouth, her charming eyes sending him an electrifying and bewitching gaze.

In spite of Meng Lei’s tough nature, an electrifying sensation couldn’t help but come over his whole body.

“Do you have a feud with the Dragons?”

Meng Lei was rather surprised.

“You have no idea at all, Meng Lei, my young friend!”

The Chimera Queen pursed her lips and explained, “We Chimeras were originally also part of the Dragons. However, due to our appearance, we were ultimately expelled by the Dragons and forced to move to Sunset Ranges, thereby forming a feud between the two of us.”

“I see!”

Realization dawned upon Meng Lei, who then couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Sunset Ranges?”

His question startled Ambrose a little. Then, she giggled femininely and replied, “Sunset Ranges is located at the t.i.tan plateau. It’s at the borders between the t.i.tan Empire and the Beast People Empire.”

“Alright!”

Meng Lei nodded slightly. Then, he turned to the fourth half-deity and asked, “And who are you?”

“I am Nagaros, the Empress of the Dark Fairies!”

Without waiting for Thackeray, the fourth half-deity introduced herself.

She had long silver hair that cascaded like a waterfall. A blood-red crown adorned her head, and she wore a long robe the color of blackish blood and a blood-red dagger at her waist.

Her ears were sharp and pointed, and her facial features exquisite. Dressed in a black translucent organza dress, her voluptuous and graceful feminine body brimmed with an alternative seductiveness and teased the eye.

“The Empress of the Dark Fairies?”

Meng Lei was mildly astonished. He couldn’t help but take a few more looks at her. “So it’s the Empress of the Dark Fairies. I’ve heard a lot about you!”

“We Dark Fairies have lived underground for all the previous generations. Aside from those hypocritical Fairies of Nature, very few have ever heard of us.”

The Dark Fairy Empress sounded cold and aloof—evidently, she didn’t quite believe Meng Lei.

“I’ve heard about the Dark Fairies only because I’ve read about them in an ancient textbook!”

Meng Lei gave her a small smile, and then his gaze swept across the four half-deities one by one.

A Golden Dragon-Lion!

A Fallen t.i.tan!

The Chimera Queen!

The Dark Fairy Empress!

“So, the reason for your sudden visits today is because all four of you wish to relieve me of my worries and troubles?” asked Meng Lei with a smile.

“We’ll speak openly!”

The Fallen t.i.tan said, “At our cultivation level, deification is a far and distant journey with no end in sight if we depend solely on ourselves for cultivation. In fact, you can even call it wishful thinking.

“Therefore, we need worshipers, we need to spread our faith, and we need to collect the power of faith. That way, perhaps we might have a chance at deification and become a supreme existence like that!”

Then, the Fallen t.i.tan glared at Meng Lei and said, “Since you’ve taken down and occupied the vast Dragon G.o.d Empire, I hope you can set aside 1/5 of the territory for me to spread my faith.”

“What about you?”

Meng Lei turned to the Chimera Queen.

“Sunset Ranges is barren and bitterly cold. Not only are we severely lacking in resources, but we are also located at the borders between the t.i.tan Empire and the Beast People Empire, which has thrown us into great suffering because of the two empires’ warring.”

The Chimera Queen said softly, “Besides, we Chimeras were originally part of the Dragons. Returning to Dragon G.o.d Empire and taking back everything that belongs to us is the long-cherished wish of us, the Chimera clan!”

“So?”

Meng Lei chuckled.

“I hope that you can take pity on the Chimeras and hand over the Wood Dragon Kingdom, as well as the forests in the vicinity of the kingdom, to us, the Chimeras, so that we may use it as our new habitat.”

The Chimera Queen gazed at Meng Lei hopefully with her sensual eyes.

“The Wood Dragon Kingdom and the forests surrounding it roughly make up about 1/5 of Dragon G.o.d Empire’s territory, doesn’t it? Nice plan!”

With a soft laugh, Meng Lei then turned to the Dark Fairy Empress next. “I’m sure the great Empress likely is thinking the same thing, too?”

“A man’s wealth is his own ruin!”

The Dark Fairy Empress said in a cold and aloof voice, “Dragon G.o.d Empire is a piece of juicy meat. By right, everyone who catches sight of it should be ent.i.tled to a share of it!”

“All that catches sight of it should be ent.i.tled to a share?”

Meng Lei let out a soft chuckle.

“Leaving the underground world and establishing a Dark Fairy Empire has always been Nagaros’ long-cherished wish. To see the wish fulfilled, the Empress fears nothing!”

Thackeray, the Golden Dragon-Lion, was full of praises for her. Then, he said, “Meng Lei, my young friend, Dragon G.o.d Empire is a piece of juicy meat that all the half-deities in the continent are eying covetously. For the sake of the power of faith, they will resort to anything.

“Wolves in the shadows surround you while hungry tigers also linger at your door.

“Your current situation is extremely dire. A moment of carelessness would see you cleanly devoured by these starving half-deities!”

“So, all of you are here to help me out?”

Meng Lei’s lips corners quirked upward, seemingly amused.

“That’s right! We’re here to help you, of course. In fact, we’re willing to form an alliance with you!”

Thackeray, the Golden Dragon-Lion, said, “As long as the five of us form an alliance, we’ll be able to look out for one another and stand against those who invade us, thereby helping to safeguard Dragon G.o.d Empire!”

Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. “Such highfalutin talk. At the bottom of it all, aren’t you just trying to s.n.a.t.c.h a slice of the pie from me?”

Meng Lei turned to the other three and said, “If I do as you wish and give away 1/5 of Dragon G.o.d Empire’s territory to every half-deity who comes here to ask for it, even the enormous Dragon G.o.d Empire probably won’t be enough for all of you to split among yourselves, isn’t it?”

“Meng Lei, my young friend, in that case, you aren’t agreeable to it?” Thackeray’s brows drew together slightly.

“Of course, I’m not going to G.o.dd.a.m.n agree, you huge fool!”

Meng Lei suddenly broke into expletives. “I’ll tell you this—Dragon G.o.d Empire is mine! Don’t anyone dare think of taking away even an inch of the territory! Not even the heavenly G.o.ds!

“Whoever dares to reach out for it will have their hand chopped off by me!

“Whoever dares to eye and covet it will be freaking cleaved apart by me!

“If you want to steal my cake, then it’ll depend on whether your head is hard enough and whether your neck is tough enough!”

“How audacious!!”

“How impudent!”

“How presumptuous!”
