Threat

Just as the Pantheon understood the Old Gods very well, the Old Gods also understood the Titans very well.

Tarim was powerful and brutal, but not brainless.

It was very clear about the power of Gorganes and the horn in his hand; everything it had done before was just to lure the other party into using such a method.

Just as Gorganes put away the horn, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, and an incredibly huge suction force came from underground. Then countless incomparably thick tentacles popped out from around him, densely pressing towards him.

Gorganes had no time to escape from here, and the teleportation spell was also interrupted by that strange suction force. His feet were bitten by the giant mouth that had opened wide below, and his body was bound by more than a dozen thick tentacles. A few seconds later, he was dragged underground.

By the time Agrama returned to Mount Wanxiang, Tarim had already succeeded.

He wanted to rush underground to rescue, but after the divine sword's power was restricted, even a group of Faceless Overlords sent by Tarim could entangle him, let alone face Tarim himself?

Therefore, he could only temporarily instruct the other Titans to stabilize the front line and return to find Aiden to lift the seal on Flame Ripper, preparing to take revenge then!

Flame Ripper was the bane of the Old Gods. Agrama was very confident that as long as he could still wield his sword, the Old Gods' tentacles would never be able to bind him!

Moreover, this time he not only lifted the seal on the sword but also brought along Aiden, this incredibly powerful ally?

By the time Aiden arrived, the battle at Mount Wanxiang had become incredibly fierce.

This was the base of the Pantheon's garrison and also Tarim's former lair.

After Tarim revived, countless Faceless surged out from underground, mixed with a large number of elemental creatures.

More than twenty Titans, leading giant legions, were fiercely fighting these minions of the Old Gods.

Facing such enemies, they no longer needed to accept restrictions. Countless attacks far exceeding the limits of Mortal power were unleashed onto the battlefield. In just over ten minutes, the entire Mount Wanxiang was already unrecognizable.

Aiden and Agrama directly rushed towards the place where Gorganes was captured. That area must have been ravaged by the Titan's attack, having become a square giant pit hundreds of meters deep and nearly a kilometer in diameter.

Aiden saw a Titan several kilometers away, holding a giant hammer, its head almost touching the clouds, and knew who had launched this attack.

The Titan's body could freely grow larger or smaller.

Normally, the Titans maintained a height of about three to four meters, but once the battle required it, they could become over ten thousand meters tall!

This was also why the Titans could freely modify planets and forge the earth.

Just as for "Sculptor of Mountains" Khaz'goroth, shaping mountains was what he was best at. The high mountains thousands or tens of thousands of meters above sea level and the bottomless canyons were all carved out by him at will.

To do such a thing, how could one not have a massive physique?

Aiden watched, feeling very worried. If this continued, it probably wouldn't be long before the Old Gods could even occupy this world; the Titans might dismantle it first!

He expressed his concerns to Agrama, who retorted, "When the time comes, can't we just rebuild it according to its original appearance?

Even better than it is now."

Aiden was speechless.

It was only at this moment that he was startled to realize that his belief that the Pantheon was more benevolent than the Burning Legion was not entirely true.

What the Pantheon needed was order, not benevolence.

The Titans didn't not destroy; rather, they would rebuild after destruction, unlike the Burning Legion, which just finished things off by destroying.

The Pantheon had traversed the universe for countless millennia under this philosophy. Aiden knew he had no ability to influence them to change the rules. What he could do was end this war as soon as possible so that the destruction could be reduced to an acceptable range.

Since the location had been pointed out, he immediately began to act.

Vast Holy Flame was poured into Silver Judgment. The sword body ignited with fierce blue Holy Flame. Then Aiden swung downwards in the sky, and a thoroughly blue arc of light left the sword, accurately striking the hammer-shaped giant pit below.

There was no earth-shattering tremor, but a slight sound, like a paper cutter slicing through paper. The hammer-shaped giant pit was split into two halves, with a fissure over ten meters wide and more than a kilometer long in the middle.

The soil on both sides of the fissure was still burning, with bright blue Holy Flame attached to it, dissolving everything.

And below the fissure, a giant mouth had been diagonally split open with a wound of unknown depth.

The fangs of the upper and lower jaws of that giant mouth were all severed.

That was one of Tarim's giant mouths...

Suddenly injured, this god of mountains and rivers let out a muffled howl, but because its mouth was damaged by sword energy and Holy Flame, the sound it made was more like a puppy's threatening whimper.

"Go!"

Aiden patted Agrama and was the first to rush towards Tarim's giant mouth.

Agrama had originally prepared to do that himself, but he wasn't that fast, and he hadn't expected the power of a casual sword strike from Aiden to be so strong!

He was certain that even if he had used Flame Ripper, it would have been difficult to achieve such an effect. The opponent's effortless manner clearly indicated he still had strength to spare.

Agrama was a little curious about what weapon Aiden was using; he had never heard of it at all?

What surprised him even more was the opponent's action—was he going to jump into Tarim's mouth?

Agrama had never done such a thing.

The Old Gods were such filthy and degenerate creatures. As a Titan, killing them was not a problem, but to enter the opponent's belly, truthfully, Agrama had never thought of it.

Gorganes being accidentally swallowed was already unlucky enough; now they were actually going to actively enter?

It was definitely Tarim's home ground inside its belly. Agrama really didn't know how confident they could be in rescuing Gorganes by going inside.

Why not cut open the Old God's belly from the outside and let Gorganes come out himself?

Agrama didn't ask such a question because Aiden had already plunged into the enemy's mouth first.

"Avenger" sighed and could only follow him in.

In contrast, it wasn't the first time Aiden had entered an Old God's belly.

About two years ago, during the later stages of the Nexus War, he was also swallowed into the belly of the death god Yogg-Saron, and only then found the opportunity to completely kill the second to last Old God.

That was indeed a rare combat experience, but Aiden quickly found that that part of the experience didn't play much of a role here.

Tarim's body structure was completely different from Yogg-Saron's.

Yogg-Saron was the "Fiend of a Thousand Faces," with many mouths—in this regard, it was quite similar to Tarim.

At the same time, each of its mouths corresponded to a stomach and had a dedicated digestive system, while Tarim only had one stomach.

It was an elliptical sphere-shaped Old God with tentacles all around its body. It had countless mouths but only one stomach.

It had no intestines and did not excrete.

Everything it ate into its belly would become part of its body. Metal would automatically synthesize extremely high-strength bones and teeth, soil and rocks would become muscles and skin, water and other liquid substances would become blood and digestive fluids...

Tarim was like a massive multi-functional processing plant. Everything that entered its belly would become part of its body.

Nothing that entered its belly had ever come out—not even a corpse!

Its throat area would release several powerful suction forces, and no one could climb out from the inside.

At the same time, its skin almost isolated all energy. It was impossible to teleport out from its belly, not even by casting spells.

At the same time, its stomach acid and the magnetic field energy in its stomach would continuously disintegrate anything, including defensive spells, artifacts, and people's bodies and energy, and even spirits and souls without physical form.

As long as one stayed inside, even a Titan would only have to wait to be digested!

Although Aiden came in voluntarily, Tarim would not let go of any "delicacy," especially nutritious ones.

Gorganes was already considered the most nourishing food it had eaten in tens of thousands of years, but now two more delicious cakes actually jumped into its mouth by themselves.

This was simply a blessing from the heavens!

Even though one of the "cakes" had just cut one of its mouths, it generously forgave the other party.

Mortals say that even when eating fish, there are times when a fishbone gets stuck in the throat.

Now Tarim could simultaneously taste three absolutely delicious portions. Let alone cutting its mouth, even a perforated stomach would be worth it!

After Aiden came in, he saw Gorganes at a glance.

He couldn't help but see him, because this Prince of the Pantheon, his nominal nephew, had actually only just entered half an hour ago.

He was still far from the time when he would be digested and disintegrated.

With Gorganes's defense, it would take at least decades or even centuries to completely digest him.

However, Tarim could afford to wait. For these three delicacies, let alone a hundred years, even ten thousand years would absolutely be worth it!

Two Titans of the Pantheon, plus Aiden, who was even more powerful than the Pantheon Titans and suspected to be a Titan—this was a great achievement that the Old Gods had never had since their existence!

Before it, the Old Gods' greatest achievement was merely killing a few scattered ordinary Titans.

And ordinary Titans were just consumables that could be repeatedly produced for the Pantheon, only slightly more precious than the lower-level, cheaper giant constructs.

Those achievements were not worth mentioning to the Pantheon.

But the Pantheon members were completely different—the Old Gods knew very well that the Pantheon only had six members. Even adding the betrayed Sargeras, it had only had a total of seven members since its establishment.

Now two of them were inside its belly. Was there anything in the world more exciting for the Old Gods than this?

It spread this news throughout the universe through a special connection network.

Soon after, almost all the Old Gods knew that on Hilesse Star, the powerful Old God, the great "God of Mountains and Rivers" Tarim, had eaten two Pantheon Titans, as well as Aiden, who was incredibly powerful and a huge threat at the same time!

Even the last Old God, N'Zoth, lurking at the bottom of the deep sea in faraway Azeroth, received this news.

It knew its chance had come.

The era of the Old Gods had arrived.

Time's End was approaching, and the end of the world was truly about to arrive!
