The Rise of the Titan

"Akemond, let me take over now. Your legion is nearly exhausted. Entering the Abyss in this state is a death sentence!" The massive fleet cut through space, forming a cohesive blockade, obstructing the path to the Abyss for the Savage Lord.

"They were born for war, and they will die in battle. It is their destined fate."

"But if this continues, your legion will be annihilated. These minions of yours are not easy to cultivate. Without the support of your army, you won't be able to enter the void for a long time."

"If they die, they die. I can just enter a state of slumber, sleep for a few millennia, and wait for the seeds I've sown to flourish again."

"Is it worth it?" The Machine Emperor Osiris sighed, shaking his head as he blocked the path to the Abyss. "There's no need for this."

"He is my grandson," the Savage Lord said with firm resolve.

"And he is my descendant too. I am also his elder. Go rest; you have done enough. Let me handle the final battle."

"I..."

"Akemond, Osiris, there's no need to argue. You've both done enough. Leave the rest to me!" Standing beside the two "young" Epic Titans was another Titan, standing about a thousand meters tall, his body surrounded by lightning and gales like dragons and serpents. He tore through space and stepped forward.

This was the fifth awakened Epic Titan, one of the Ten Sovereigns. An ancient being, he spoke up, unwilling to let these younger ones bear all the consequences of this war. He, as an elder, felt it was his duty to step forward when given the chance.

"No need to argue. This matter is settled." With a seemingly gentle yet authoritative demeanor, the Sovereign decided the participants for the final battle. "You two youngsters stay here and back me up!"

Meanwhile, in the Abyssal Web where her avatar had been crushed by the Nether Emperor's tail, the Spider Queen suddenly looked up. She had already noticed the three Epic Titans, who had made no effort to conceal their presence, radiating an aura like three blazing suns, impossible to ignore.

"They intend to enter the Abyss? To kill me?" The Spider Queen, Lolth, muttered in disbelief. "How dare these Titans?"

When Akemond began his reckoning, the Spider Queen took notice but didn't worry about her safety. Her residence was a perilous place for the Titans of Order. The stronger the Titan, the greater the backlash and suppression they would face.

Lolth resided on the 66th layer of the Bottomless Abyss, which was considered deep within the Abyss. Fighting here was highly disadvantageous for the Titans. If an Epic Titan entered, they might provoke the ancient, dreadful creatures that even gods feared.

Unconcerned about being reckoned with, Lolth was scheming to seize the lost powers of fallen deities while lamenting the loss of her divine power and followers. Thus, she was taken aback to see the Titans preparing to confront her.

"Is there truly nothing that can make you Titans fearful?" Seeing the strongest Titan among the three preparing to come after her, Lolth was in a foul mood.

"Goddess, these Titans seem determined to come down. What should we do?" One of Lolth's subordinates, a gelatinous, formless mass of ooze, spoke with a beast-like growl, filled with panic.

"Should we temporarily retreat?" The deity of Drow conspiracy, known as the Masked King, suggested in a panic.

"Retreat? This is the Abyss." Lolth looked around at her two seemingly terrified subordinates, showing a face of disdain.

"We have five deities here. With the support of our divine realms, we can fight even an Epic Titan. There's no need to retreat!" Lolth said confidently, looking at her other two subordinates: the Undying Vengeance Goddess, Ziarwynn Shaari, and the Warrior Guardian God, Sivantanum.

"Using the terrain to our advantage, we can fight them. No need to back down!" Sivantanum said calmly, unable to tolerate the thought of retreating without a fight.

"Indeed." Seeing her loyal subordinate agree, Lolth's face showed satisfaction. "We don't need to worry too much. Given the Abyss' suppression on Epic Titans, he may not even reach us."

The Ten Sovereigns, having made his decision, reached out and tore open a passageway to summon his legion.

"I am Abaddon, King of the Inferno Giants!" From the spatial rift opened by the Ten Sovereigns emerged a giant with a massive, muscular frame, surrounded by dark red flames. He held a furnace filled with molten lava in one hand and stepped forward, his long, narrow eyes scanning the surroundings with a savage and brutal air.

Behind him, more giants of similar form emerged continuously, though none as powerful as him, emanating an aura capable of contending with Epic Titans.

"After this war, I will challenge you," Abaddon declared, his narrow eyes fixed on the Ten Sovereigns.

"Very well. I have promised that you can challenge me anytime. If you win, you may leave. But if you lose, you will lead your clan to serve me forever."

"Hmph! No need to remind me. I haven't forgotten my promise." Abaddon snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to the Machine Emperor and the Savage Lord.

"These are your kinsmen? They don't seem impressive." Despite his words, Abaddon was inwardly astonished. He understood how difficult it was for a clan to produce someone like himself, and here were three such beings, overturning his understanding of the void.

"Let's find a chance to fight!" The Savage Lord, challenged by a subordinate of his elder, responded straightforwardly.

"Good!" Abaddon agreed readily, being a creature who relished battle.

"And you? Do you want to fight me?" After challenging Akemond, Abaddon turned to the Machine Emperor, arrogantly inquiring.

"Me? There's no need for that," the Machine Emperor replied with a gentle smile, shaking his head.

"Oh, afraid you'll kill me? Interesting!" Abaddon raised his infernal furnace, ready to strike at the Machine Emperor.
