Chapter 123: The Awakening of the Titans and the Heart of the Titan Clan
Over a thousand beams of light appeared over the entire altar. Within each beam, there was a massive figure—a Titan.
Titans looked quite similar to humans, but they were much larger. Among the more than a thousand Titans before Sylvus, the shortest was at least a hundred meters tall.
"No wonder the Titans are so powerful; their sheer size gives them an advantage," Sylvus thought to himself. Just a casual punch from these Titans could likely match one of Grey's full-powered attacks.
"So this is the Titan clan? Back in the Deity Realm, the Titans were even more renowned than the angel clan. Seeing them now, it truly seems that way," Elena said, staring at the giant Titans, somewhat lost in thought.
The most excited, of course, were Ronald and the other dwarven powerhouses, as the giant before them represented their original form.
At that moment, the Titans all descended onto the altar, murmuring something. The entire altar began to shake.
"Look! Something is coming out!"
As a voice rang out, everyone turned their gaze to the center of the altar. There, a stone platform slowly rose, and atop it lay a fiery red stone.
"Thump... thump..."
As the red stone appeared, everyone could clearly hear a heartbeat. The dwarves felt their blood boiling, as if something within them was breaking.
"Is this the Titan's Heart? Our dwarven clan will finally regain the glory of the past," Ronald muttered, swallowing with excitement. Without hesitation, he moved toward the stone platform.
Some in the crowd looked at the Titan's Heart in the distance, a glimmer of greed appearing in their eyes. But when they saw Sylvus standing nearby, they eventually gave up. Even if they managed to take it, what would be the point? Not even Sylvus, the strongest here, was trying to take it. If they tried, it would be a death wish.
Moreover, the elven clan was friendly with the dwarven clan. Now, Elena was a Mage Ruler-level powerhouse. None of them could possibly leave here alive.
By now, Ronald had reached the stone platform with his clansmen. Looking at the Titan's Heart, Ronald took a deep breath. Instead of grabbing it immediately, he knelt and respectfully bowed before extending his hand to take the Titan's Heart.
As Ronald's hands touched the Titan's Heart, a crimson light rose from it, flowing into his body through his hands.
The next second, a powerful aura erupted from Ronald, and an immense force appeared within him. At the same time, his body began to grow.
Within three breaths, Ronald, who had been a dwarf, had grown to a height comparable to an average human.

At the same time, a crimson light surrounded the other dwarves, breaking the seal on their bloodline, and their bodies began to grow as well.
The crowd watched as the Titan's Heart turned into a red stream of light and merged into Ronald's body. Ronald's eyes were filled with excitement as the Titan's Heart disappeared, and the projections of the Titan ancestors on the altar slowly faded away. The entire space became empty once again.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the Titan's Heart?"
Seeing this, everyone frowned. They had thought that, after breaking the bloodline seal, the dwarves would be as large as the Titan giants. However, the result was a bit disappointing. Although the dwarves had grown, they were now roughly the size of humans, far smaller than true Titans.
Sylvus, however, knew that there was no problem. The system's voice had just sounded.
[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Task completion rate has reached 100%. The system will now process the rewards... Processing completed. Would you like to claim the task rewards now?]
"Not yet."
Sylvus shook his head. There were too many people here, and if the reward was too incredible, he might not be able to contain his excitement. He decided to wait until he returned to his shop to see the reward—after all, it wasn't going anywhere.
"Clan Leader Ronald, is there something wrong with the Titan's Heart?"
At the same time, Elena approached Ronald, curious.
He should have become a giant, after all.
"Queen, there's nothing wrong with the Titan's Heart. It's just that our strength is still too weak. To become true Titan giants, we need deity-level power. However, our strength has indeed improved significantly," Ronald said with a smile.
The Titans were inherently a deity-level race. To become a true Titan in form, deity power was necessary. However, in their daily lives, Titans would transform into human-like forms for convenience.
"That's a pity. The Twelve Kings have exhausted all of the deity power from Aisral. Otherwise, we could have broken through to the level of Mage Ruler," Elena said with a sigh.
"Alright, now that everything here is resolved, you can handle the remaining undead yourselves. I'm heading back," Sylvus said as he saw the two of them still talking. He wanted to go back and see what reward he had received.
"Thank you, Boss, for your help this time. Emperor Boone's promised reward will definitely not be delayed," Elena and the others said, bowing.
They knew very well that getting Sylvus to help came at a cost.
Sylvus nodded in satisfaction—it seemed these people knew how to behave. Just as he was about to leave, two figures ran over. It was Corvin and Kennan.
"Boss, can we go back with you?"
"You're not continuing your training?" Sylvus asked with a smile. The two had specifically said goodbye before, stating they were heading out to fight the undead for training.
"There's no need for us here anymore. We'd be better off going back and continuing our cultivation," Corvin said with a smile.
This battle had made them realize many of their shortcomings. Although their levels had increased, their combat awareness was still inferior to that of a Mage Lord.
"Alright, then let's go back together."
Sylvus didn't mind, and under everyone's watchful eyes, he left with Corvin and Kennan.
"Queen, have you really broken through to the level of a Mage Ruler?"
After Sylvus left, Ronald couldn't help but ask Elena.
Elena shook her head.
"It's not that simple. The boss created a magical tool that allowed me to temporarily have the power of a Mage Ruler."
Hearing this, Ronald was a bit surprised. As expected, the boss was powerful. A magical tool made by him could even grant someone the power of a Mage Ruler.
"It seems that once we return, we must speed up the process of crafting what he needs; otherwise, the consequences will be dire," Ronald thought to himself.
