Chapter 0003: In the Name of the Titan
"Very well, Master Muria," the blonde maid Sophia said obediently as she walked to the door of the room, gesturing for him to follow. "Please come with me, for Lord Atris's castle is quite large."
Uh, at that time, Lord Atreus went to the Arcane Federation together with Lord Ansor. After the colossus was destroyed, it was collected by Lord Atreus, so this colossus has been placed here
Because apart from the chest, this "Gundam" shows no signs of damage, shining as if brand new. The penetration mark on the chest of the "Gundam" looks as if it was made by a fist, and the golden thunder above it is clearly the legendary thunderous power left behind by his father
Muria followed closely behind Sophia, her eyes constantly scanning every corner she passed, as if she were Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden in "Dream of the Red Chamber," experiencing a great revelation
The fair face appears plump, bearing the baby fat typical for his age, looking so tender that it seems one could pinch it and squeeze out water.
Ye Tianrui, no, Mu Ruiya, with a look of curiosity on her face, followed in Sophia's footsteps and began to tour the crystal castle where she had lived for five years
One can imagine that at that time, his legendary father, Titan Ansor, punched and shattered the "Gundam". As a top-tier being in the world, his father must have had a strong sense of pride and would not have simply packed up the "Gundam" to take away.
When he was just born, his size was already comparable to hers, not to mention now. Of course, Ye Tianrui had no feelings of disdain, as Sofia had taken care of him comfortably over the past five years, being a very competent maid.
Shoulder-length pure black hair cascades down, with a pair of light golden dragon horns elegantly extending backward among the strands, silently showcasing the noble lineage and non-human identity of their owner
As the defeated party, the people of the Arcane Federation are likely too embarrassed to intervene; the victors have the right to take away their own military strength. This is a customary rule established in Elasia, and they are quite concerned about their reputation
Although constructed with precious crystal stones, this castle is not small; on the contrary, it exudes a grand and magnificent aura, revealing a sense of opulence in every corner.
Titans are a branch of the many giant races of Elasia, but they are the most unique branch, as among all giant races, the Titans, who wield the power of storms and thunder, are the strongest. They are the strongest in every aspect
Named Titan! Even with this familiar shape, a look of disdain appeared on Muriya's face, "Is this thing even worthy?"
Is that so? In other words, I have been in this world for almost five years now. Ye Tianrui turned around with a hint of emotion, looking down at the dragon-blooded girl whose height barely reached the middle of his thigh.
Among the same age group, Titans possess the tallest stature, the largest size, and the greatest strength. Even among those of similar size, no type of giant can contend with a Titan. For ordinary giants, Titans are akin to gods, worthy of worship.
Listening to Sophia's commentary, Mureya gazed at the exhibition hall where a super giant alchemical magic statue, characterized by a V-shaped forehead ornament and eight blue wings unfurled from its back, dominated the scene, leaving her momentarily dazed.
Although there are many things that Muriya does not know about this world, he has gained some understanding of certain common knowledge through inherited knowledge, such as some world-class major powers and some precious metal materials
What on earth is this
Although most collectors are unaware of the origins and value of the Muriya collectibles, this does not diminish the strong visual impact that these golden dragon collectibles bring. At the very least, he knows one thing: these items are incredibly precious
This is the pinnacle of alchemical creations of the Arcane Federation, named the Legendary Arcane Automaton Titan
Therefore, the dragonborn maidservants led by Sophia have been nurturing to him
Is it really that simple? Muria looked at Sophia with a face full of skepticism. Even if the giant statue is destroyed, it is still a large chunk of precious magical metal material. Recovering it and recreating a legendary golem shouldn't be a problem, right? Would the Arcane Federation really allow my mother to take it away?
However, among the many dragon mothers, Golden Dragon Lady can be considered relatively good, as she has specifically gathered a group of dragonborn maids to take care of him, attending to his needs for food, drink, and other personal matters
After all, his father had approached someone because of a name, then destroyed that person's belongings, and took the wreckage as spoils of war, which might be a bit difficult to reconcile.
It is not that he does not want to go out, but rather that his body does not allow him to engage in any activities other than eating
"Sophia, take me out for a stroll. I have never visited my mother's castle before." Ye Tianrui looked at the doorway of the room, revealing a sense of longing and curiosity.
After all, the Golden Dragon, unlike all other dragons, has a nature that is extremely lazy. It is fundamentally impossible to expect them to raise their offspring with the same hardships and dedication as ordinary human mothers, enduring the toil and care of nurturing their children.
Upon hearing Muriya's question, Sophia fell silent, her face displaying an expression of embarrassment, her cheeks flushed as she slowly lowered her head. Observing the head maid's reaction, Muriya could roughly guess what had transpired at that time
"Young Master Muria, you have now grown to 5 meters. According to the standards of the Titan race, you have passed the infant stage and entered the childhood stage. According to the standards of the Dragon race, you are currently in the young dragon stage," replied the golden-haired girl, whose cheeks were adorned with fine golden scales, in a formal and respectful manner.
Then, Mureya became accustomed to it. Until now, when he saw the collection displayed in this exhibition hall by the corridor, the astonishment on his face was unmasked. Fortunately, he was looking up at this familiar exhibit in the exhibition hall, so Sofia could not see the expression on his face; she could only hear his voice
Ye Tianrui is the name I had in my previous life as a human, and that life has already come to an end, so there is no need to continue using the name Ye Tianrui. The current me is the son of Titans and Dragons, Muria Iapetos Eilonsas, and this is the name I will use now and in the future
Sophia, a dragonborn girl who is tall compared to ordinary humans, seems exceedingly short to Ye Tianrui at this moment, especially considering that this dragonborn maid, sent specifically by the golden dragon Atris Alonsas to take care of her, is quite diminutive.
This castle is constructed from a variety of crystals, each area shimmering with vibrant and colorful light, making Muria almost doubt whether she is in a fairy tale.
"How big have I grown now? Sofia." Suddenly, Ye Tianrui looked down at the golden-haired maid-dressed girl quietly standing behind the baby in the mirror and asked her
"Hmm, wait a minute, this is my father's trophy, how did it end up in my mother's collection gallery?" Mureya suddenly realized an inconsistency.
On this super-sized "Gundam," Muria recognized several types of magical metals that could be used to forge legendary weapons. Metals of this caliber are strategic resources, regardless of their location, so how could they possibly allow others to take them away
My mother is truly wealthy! This has been the only thought of Muria throughout this journey. Unfortunately, even if it were a brick, I wouldn't dare to touch it. This belongs to my legendary mother, Atris Alonsas, and is her private dragon property. Even though I am her biological son, I have no connection to even a single copper coin.
The slightly plump, baby-like body stretched the silk pajamas, while a pair of broad golden dragon wings extended from the deliberately left gaps in the pajamas. Beneath the robe-style pajamas, a dragon tail, tipped with a blade-like point and covered in golden scales, swayed back and forth.
In the room shimmering with light, Ye Tianrui stood before a mirror that was nearly as tall as the dome, gazing silently at the enormous figure reflected within it
At this thought, Muria's mood began to darken. Just then, Muria stared blankly at a tall exhibit standing in the exhibition hall, feeling as if ten thousand alpacas were racing through her mind
"Muraya!" Ye Tianrui was momentarily stunned. This name, he had heard the dragon-blooded maid call for five years. It was his true name, unique to him, while his name from his previous life, Ye Tianrui, had not been spoken for five years, and he was on the verge of forgetting it.
Then, the legendary giant statue named Titan of the Arcane Federation was shattered by a single punch from my father Muria continued to recount the outcome of the battle following Sophia's words
This colossal humanoid magical golem, resembling the shape of a free high-rise building and standing nearly 100 meters tall, is as striking and handsome as Muria remembered. Its size, several times larger than the original design, left Muria even more astonished.
Indeed unworthy. Sofia's face revealed a look of reverence and longing, thus, your father, the great legendary Titan Anseor Iapetos, sought out the Arcane Federation, specifically challenging this arrogant colossus known as the Titan.
It is somewhat amusing that Ye Tianrui has been in this world for five years, yet he has never stepped out of this room filled with shimmering light, as most of his time has been spent in slumber, and the time he has spent awake has been entirely devoted to eating
Walking through the corridors of the castle with her current physique, Muriya felt an overwhelming sense of spaciousness. Moreover, as she walked, Muriya was quite certain that she had not retraced any path. She had no doubt that if she were not closely following Sophia, she would surely have gotten lost in the castle. This illustrates just how vast the layout of this castle is.
"Well, it should be about like this," Muria speculated about the situation at that time, feeling that it was close to the truth
And his mother, a golden dragon renowned for her greed, disregarded all else; when it came to face and treasure, the giant dragon would always choose treasure. Thus, this "Gundam" was taken into her possession.
The only flaw is that on the chest of this super large Gundam, there is a massive transparent passage that runs through from front to back, still surrounded by golden lightning, emanating an aura that is both familiar and thrilling to Mureya
After Muria stepped out of the room where he had stayed for five years, he was initially stunned by the collection of treasures placed throughout the castle by the Golden Dragon Lady: precious enchanted swords, magnificent magical armors, priceless masterpieces, rare and formidable creature corpses
Alongside the renowned power of dragons, there exists their insatiable greed for treasure. The "Gundam," forged from various precious magical metals, stands as a rare treasure.
