Lin Xiao knew what ‘Titan’ was, on Earth, it was a weapon of mass destruction!
… But this wasn’t Earth, so Lin Xiao didn’t know what ‘Titan’ meant here.
“Could it be the legendary ancient god tribe?”
He vaguely remembered something about that story, and Elena knew much more…
In the legends, the Titans were enormous and held unimaginable power, they could even cross dimensions and drag the gods down and ruthlessly tear them to pieces and take their places as the world’s new rulers!
According to scholars, Titans once conquered Eileen for thousands of years, but they suddenly vanished and only the legends were left behind.
“But from what I know, ‘Titan’ was merely a legend and we have no proof of their existence.”
“So what does this ‘Titan’ mean?”
“It’s probably just a code name, Nick is using it to express his desire.”
“What desire?”
“To kill the gods.”
“Kill the gods!?”
Based on what Elena said, the legendary Titan tore apart the gods of a world and then took their place to become the new gods. So rather than saying they’re creators, it’s more like they’re god slayers.
“Lesser devils, living dead… they were conducting cruel human experiments from the start and using various methods to create monsters. I’m guessing that they weren’t just simply making monsters for battle power.”
“So you’re saying that they’re trying to use these ways to create the legendary ‘Titan’ to kill the gods!?”
“It’s very likely.” Elena nodded.
Now they already have a rough idea of the cult’s goals, they’re probably using the horrible prophecy of the world ending to brainwash believers and then using them for cruel experiments.
And their goal is to create ‘Titan’ and kill the gods!
“No wonder they turned half of the people here to living dead! I was wondering why they caused such a big disturbance but didn’t destroy the kingdom, so… so this is their goal!?”
After realizing that, Lin Xiao suddenly became absentminded.
How should he describe it?
Before, he had always thought that they were just wicked cult that took advantage of people to profit. And what was the goal of a cult? It was to profit, alcohol, lust, money, power, just those.
In his eyes, they were just a lowly pyramid scheme and there was probably an even lazier, fatter, more perverted, disgusting fat otaku that was causing all this trouble behind the scenes to live a more decadent life. But now…
Now Lin Xiao finally understood how terrifying they were! And how he got involved in such a vortex before he even realized it!
No wonder Snow kept telling him to mind his own business and stopped him from getting involved…
‘Slaughter the gods and create a new world’
Lin Xiao just thought they were just saying it, he never expected them to actually do it???
“This is getting out of hand…”
Lin Xiao nervously gulped and kind of wanted to quit.
Now, they were just seeing the third apostle’s journal and how he used a year or so to create ‘Titan’ to kill the gods. Then in another place, do they have even more terrifying plans??
Other than the fist of severance, are there other plans? Like the feet of severance, wings of severance, or tits of severance?
If they’re creating Titan to kill the gods, then what monster are they making next?
He was only seeing the tip of the iceberg, the cult hidden beneath the water could be far stronger than he could imagine…
“These people are insane…”
Lin Xiao gently closed the book and tossed it aside.
“What’s wrong?”
“I-I just feel a bit dizzy…”
“Dizzy? It looks like you’re getting weak knees.”
“Weak knees?”
“Yes, from being scared.”
“W-who said I was scared? How could I be scared of them? I was just… just…”
“Just afraid of trouble, so you want to just go back and laze around, right?”
“…”
Elena saw right through him and he couldn’t retort.
Yes, this was way too annoying, far surpassing what he anticipated! If he got involved, he wouldn’t ever be able to get out until he walked to the end and everything was finally over.
And that was a deep abyss where he couldn’t see the bottom! Once he jumped, he would either get swallowed, or he would blow the abyss up! In the end, only him or the cult will remain.
How could Lin Xiao be willing to do something that might get him killed?
“So, you want to retreat? … Right now you only have one foot in and one foot out, so you still have the leeway to leave, so you want to hurry up and give up… that’s what you’re thinking, right?”
“I-I never said that…”
“But that’s what your eyes are telling me!”
“Tsk, when did the demon king learn how to read minds?”
“It seems like I was right… Lin Xiao, if you want to run, I won’t stop you, it’s not like I expected you to stay with me until the end anyway, I can do it alone.”
Elena snorted and didn’t even want to argue with him, she just picked up the journal and began seriously reading it, but still couldn’t help but continue to mutter.
“You said you were going to help, now it’s troublesome… tsk, you can’t trust a man’s word as expected.”
“Hey! I never said I wouldn’t help, even if you’re going to call me a coward, just wait a bit.”
“I’ll fight with them until the end anyways, even if I lose my life, as for you… hehe, whatever.”
“Hey, are you purposely saying that to make me worry for you?”
“You would worry for me?”
“Of course!”
“I don’t believe it.”
“Believe it if you like. I’ve said, you’re my maid, who would I worry about, if not you?”
“… Tsk, again with those irresponsible words.”
Elena glanced at him and didn’t want to bother with him anymore, so she continued reading the journal, but when she flipped a page, Lin Xiao snatched it away!
“Hey, why are you taking my things… give it back!”
“Come on, with your brains, you won’t find the important information until next year… I’ll take it from here.”
Lin Xiao reluctantly opened the book, although he was annoyed he still carefully read the remainder of the journal.
“Pervert, didn’t you find it troublesome so you didn’t want a part of it anymore?”
“I never said that.”
“But you were thinking it!”
“So what? Is thinking about it wrong? I’ve even thought about *** you! Impregnating you and making you give birth to my kids! … But have I done it?”
“Y-you!? … Shameless! Disgusting! Pervert!”
“Okay, curse away, but can you keep it down so I can read!”
“Hm… hmph!”
Elena was ticked off and could only vent by punching the air and then silently standing to the side and seething away.
But speaking of it… Lin Xiao’s words made sense.
That pervert always did something contrary to what he was thinking. He has thought about taking advantage of her, but he’s restrained himself each time and has held respect for her, and that’s why they’ve been able to get closer.
Thinking about it, has she been too harsh with him?
After calming down, Elena felt a bit guilty.
She was the demon king who was betrayed, so she had to bravely face them no matter how strong the enemies were, but Lin Xiao was just a normal kid.
If the cult was just a small one that he could deal with easily, then he would help, but now that their strength far surpassed their expectations. Going against them was equivalent to jumping into an abyss and giving up one’s entire lifetime!
Faced with such an important choice, Lin Xiao just hesitated but then stood firm. Was that not bold and fearless?
After all, he wasn’t some superhero from a comic, nor was he some bullshit messenger or justice, he just wanted to live a normal life, and he couldn’t even hesitate?
Even Caesar would hesitate when faced with such a difficult choice, he would probably take a while and hesitate multiple times before deciding, yet Lin Xiao was able to immediately compose himself and continue investigating…
Would else could Elena demand?
“Hey, pervert, d-did you find anything? Don’t just read by yourself, tell me as well.”
Like she was trying to apologize for earlier, Elena actually spoke to him first and even used a delicate voice.
“Shh, quiet! Don’t bother me… I think I found something important… the core material for creating Titan!”
“Core material? W-what is it!?”
