Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Seeing Sylvus appear before them, the laughter of the Twelve Kings abruptly stopped, and they were filled with shock.

"How is this possible? How can you move freely within this Dark Realm?"

Soon, the astonished voices of the Twelve Kings echoed.

The Dark Realm was a world they had created using forbidden techniques. Only they could move freely in it—everyone else who entered was merely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Surprised?"

"Boom..."

Sylvus's lips curled into a smirk, and with a wave of his right hand, a power bound the life spirits of the Twelve Kings.

"Ah... let us go! If you kill us, you won't be able to leave this Dark Realm either. When the time comes, you'll vanish into nothingness along with it!"

The Twelve Kings, who had already lost their power, naturally couldn't resist Sylvus's strength. They could only struggle and scream.

"Is this thing really that formidable?"

"Break!"

"Crack... crack..."

Sylvus sneered and directly used the Single Word Incantation.

Immediately, the sound of something shattering echoed throughout the Dark Realm.

"What's happening? The power of the Dark Realm is fading! Impossible! You cannot destroy the power of this Dark Realm unless you can withstand the backlash of deity power!"

"N-No... Ah..."

The Twelve Kings sensed something was wrong and screamed.

The cracking sounds grew louder and more frequent.

Within ten seconds, the entire Dark Realm shattered on the spot.

The surrounding mountains reappeared.

"Thud... thud..."

The sound of people falling echoed. Sylvus looked behind him and found that the angel clan members and others trapped in the forbidden technique had all collapsed, appearing extremely weak.

"It seems your Dark Realm wasn't that impressive after all." Sylvus found that these people were not in any life-threatening danger. He turned his gaze back to the life spirits of the Twelve Kings.

Hearing Sylvus's words, the Twelve Kings fell silent this time. They knew that no words would change their fate; their lives were in Sylvus's hands.

"Boom..."

The next second, a roaring sound came from the mountain, and Sylvus saw Elena flying toward him rapidly, her wings fluttering.

"Boss, the undead outside have been taken care of," Elena said, looking at Sylvus.

"All of them?"

Sylvus was slightly stunned. The number of undead was in the millions. How could she have dealt with them all in less than five minutes?

"Thanks to you, Boss, for granting me the power of a Mage Ruler. A few forbidden spells were all it took to solve the problem," Elena said with a smile.

Indeed, the power of a Mage Ruler was immense, and coupled with the angel clan's natural ability to counter the undead, the power of the forbidden spells had increased several times. Even if millions more undead appeared, she could still deal with them with ease.

"How is this possible? You've become a Mage Ruler?"

At that moment, the Twelve Kings noticed that Elena had become a Mage Ruler. Remembering what she had said earlier, they were shocked.

Who exactly was Sylvus? He could elevate someone to the level of a Mage Ruler. Just before, Elena had only been a nine-star Mage Emperor.

"There's a lot you don't know. Now, it's time for you to die."

"Boom..."

With Sylvus's words, the power binding the life spirits of the Twelve Kings erupted.

As screams echoed, the life spirits of the Twelve Kings gradually disappeared.

This time, they were truly dead.

"Boss, I'll go check on the others first."

Elena said.

Sylvus nodded, and Elena hurried to her people.

Sylvus, on the other hand, looked around, frowning.

"This place... why does it seem familiar?"

Thinking about it, Sylvus flew to the sky and looked down at the entire mountain range. His eyes lit up.

"Isn't this the place where the Titan's Heart, the treasure of the Titan clan, is hidden?"

He had seen the map on the Hammer of Forge before and found it to be almost identical to the mountain range here. According to the map, the Titan's Heart seemed to be hidden beneath the altar.

"It seems this altar wasn't made by the Twelve Kings. It was most likely built by the Titan clan."

Sylvus thought to himself.

The altar was massive—large enough to accommodate millions of people without feeling crowded. Sylvus had wondered why the Twelve Kings would build such a large altar, but now he realized it must have been constructed by the Titan clan.

After all, the Titan clan was a clan of giants. To others, such a large altar might seem enormous, but to the Titans, it was merely ordinary.

With that thought, Sylvus returned to the altar.

Meanwhile, under the holy light released by Elena, more than a hundred thousand people woke up one after another.

"Queen, what happened to us?"

After waking up, Ronald looked at Elena in confusion. He only remembered that they had come here and seemed to have fallen into a trap. After that, he had no recollection of what happened.

"The boss saved us."

Elena quickly recounted what had happened afterward.

After hearing her explanation, everyone looked at Sylvus not far away, their eyes filled with respect. It was fortunate that the boss had come; otherwise, they would have been doomed this time.

"Don't just stand there, Ronald. Weren't you looking for the Titan's Heart? Doesn't this place look familiar to you?" Sylvus said with a smile.

Ronald was slightly stunned and quickly looked around. He then did the same as Sylvus had done earlier, flying up into the air.

A few seconds later, he returned to Sylvus, visibly excited.

"This is indeed the place marked on the Hammer of Forge. The Titan's Heart is beneath this altar," Ronald said excitedly.

"But this altar is enormous. Do you have any way to locate it?" Sylvus asked.

"Of course."

Ronald took out the Hammer of Forge, then paused, looking at Sylvus with a sheepish smile. "Boss, the Titan's Heart..."

"I have no use for that thing." Sylvus knew what Ronald was thinking and shook his head with a smile.

Hearing Sylvus's words, Ronald breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that Sylvus would want the Titan's Heart, in which case they would have no way to refuse.

"Titan's Hammer!"

Ronald took a deep breath and shouted, slamming the Hammer of Forge onto the altar.

With a dull sound, under the gaze of everyone, the entire altar began to glow.

"Boom..."

As all the patterns on the altar lit up, beams of light erupted from the altar, connecting the heavens and the earth.

With a roar that echoed across the land, a terrifying aura emerged from the light beams.

Within the light, massive figures began to appear.

"Are these... Titans?"

Sylvus looked at the enormous figures within the light beams, his eyes filled with surprise.
