Picking Up Attributes From Today - Chapter 223
Chapter 223: Titan Surrenders. The Spider Goddess.
The breeze blew gently, caressing people’s cheeks, like the sender hands of a beautiful woman.
It was gentle, light, and comfortable.
Yet Bubbles the Fallen Titan couldn’t feel comfortable. He looked at the two headless bodies, and only fear was left in his heart.
The Chimera Queen and the Golden Dragon-Lion—they died just like this!
The Empress of the Dark Fairies also fled!
Two deaths and one escape!
At present, only he was left.
What should he do?
Run?
He couldn’t possibly escape.
Fight?
He couldn’t win the fight.
Die?
He didn’t want to die.
Was he to surrender?
No!
I’m the noble Fallen Titan!
Even if I were to die, were to be slashed into a thousand pieces, or were to jump down from here, I would never surrender!
“Bubbles!”
Meng Lei looked over.
“I surrender!”
The Fallen Titan hurriedly knelt on one knee, lowered his noble head, and then took the initiative to release his divine spirit origin energy, without the least bit of hesitation.
Meng Lei froze for a moment. “Bubbles, you made a wise decision.”
“Thank you, my noble Master!”
The Fallen Titan stood up and looked at Meng Lei with a complicated look in his eyes. He knew that from then onward, his life and death were in Meng Lei’s hands.
If Meng Lei wanted him to live, he would live.
If Meng Lei wanted him to die, he would die.
He would have no other chance to regain his freedom!
“Big guy, you disappoint me too much.” Puhaman was displeased. “As a noble Fallen Titan, how can you surrender? Shouldn’t you fight to your death and never surrender?”
“Evil Dead Souls half-deity, stay away from Bubbles!” The Fallen Titan stared at Puhaman with disdain. “Otherwise, I will break your head with one hit!”
“Pfft! I was joking.”
Puhaman gave the Fallen Titan’s huge fist a look and let an ugly peal of laughter. “Since you surrendered, we are allies. Bubbles, welcome.”
“Hmph! Now you’re talking!”
The Fallen Titan snorted softly, and the look on his face softened.
Meng Lei smiled slightly. “Bubbles, do you know where the Golden Dragon-Lion clan is?”
“Master, the Golden Dragon-Lion clan is situated at the Golden Archipelago, with more than 5,000 islands big and small, all territories of the Golden Dragon-Lion clan,” Bubbles replied in a respectful voice.
‘Golden Archipelago?” Meng Lei nodded slightly. “You know the way, right?”
“The Golden Archipelago is situated in the east of Endless Oceans. One can reach the Golden Archipelago by flying almost 30,000 kilometers east from the Blue Dragon Kingdom.”
Bubbles said very respectfully, “I used to travel across the Golden Archipelago 300 years ago. That was also when I got to know Thackeray.”
“It’s easy since you know the way.” Meng Lei nodded his head satisfactorily. “Later, you may accompany me to the underground world, and then to the Sunset Ranges, and finally to the Golden Archipelago.”
“Master, this… might not work.”
Bubbles was a bit hesitant.
“What’s wrong?”
Meng Lei’s frowned slightly.
“The underground world is extremely complex, with all kinds of evil deities. These evil deities are vicious, evil, and extremely xenophobic. If we were to get into the underground, we would very likely get attacked by them.”
Bubbles explained, “For example, the Spider Goddess worshiped by the Dark Fairy race is a very evil and vicious evil deity.
“If you went to give Nagaros trouble, the Spider Goddess wouldn’t sit and watch.”
“The Spider Goddess?” Meng Lei raised his eyebrows. “Is she a true god or a half-deity?”
“The Spider Goddess has yet to become a true god, but she is a very ancient half-deity, almost as ancient as the Four Great True Gods.”
Bubbles explained, “I heard that if not for the four true gods, The Dragon God, the Titan Spiritual God, the Beast God, and the Fairy Goddess joining forces to expel her to the underground world, the Spider Goddess would have become a true god long ago.
“Despite this, the Spider Goddess is still the most mysterious and unpredictable half-deity. It is better if you don’t offend her, Master!”
“The Spider Goddess…”
Meng Lei’s eyes squinted. “Now that you mentioned this, I am suddenly wondering whether the Empress of the Dark Fairies’ appearance this time was instructed by the Spider Goddess.”
“This is very possible.”
Bubbles nodded slightly. “As the most ancient half-deity, the Spider Goddess is only the slightest bit from the position of a true god. One may say that it needs the power of faith more than any other half-deity!
“All the half-deities of the Dragon race have been massacred, and this territory so rich with the power of faith is vacated. How can the Spider Goddess leave it alone?”
“That means, even if I don’t go and give the Spider Goddess trouble, it will come to me!”
Meng Lei smiled. “If this is the case, I may as well go right to its door and kill it in case it comes to give me trouble in the future.”
“But…”
Bubbles was a bit hesitant.
“There’s no ‘but’! The Dragon God Empire is mine. No one else should covet it.”
Meng Lei waved a hand. “Not to mention an out-of-style old piece of trash like the Spider Goddess. It should prolong its pitiful life staying in the underground world, instead of coming to provoke me!”
Upon hearing this, Bubbles smiled bitterly, not even knowing what to say.
Master even looks down upon the Spider Goddess.
“Master, when are you intending to leave?” Puhaman asked respectfully.
“Today will do,” Meng Lei said after giving it some thought.
“In that case, I will wish Master great success!” Puhaman smiled and said, “May everything go as you wish!”
“Master!”
At that moment, Thaniel came flying with Flit the 66th!
“M-m-master Meng Lei!”
Flit the 66th looked at Meng Lei and tried hard to force out a smile.
“Your Majesty!”
“This is His Majesty!”
Fred, Dirk Norway, Hudders, and others all looked over with anxiety and confusion on their faces.
“Your Majesty, we meet again.”
Meng Lei looked at the Fire Dragon King, his heart filled with complex feelings. The first time he had met the Fire Dragon King, he had been high up there, accompanied by more than 100 Saint Domain warriors, all-domineering, and he himself a mere Ninth-Grade Saint Domain Magician!
Not long had passed, and Flit the 66th had already become a small and insignificant person.
The changes in the world’s fortunes were indeed unpredictable.
“It’s my honor to see Master Meng Lei!” Flit the 66th was a bit fearful.
“Your Majesty, I told you to go to the new Dragon Island. Why didn’t you go?”
Meng Lei frowned. “Not only did you not go, but you also gathered my family and friends. What are your intentions? To beg for mercy? Or to threaten me?”
“No, no! That’s not the case!”
Cold sweat emerged on the forehead of Flit the 66th. “Master Meng Lei, I’ll head to the new Dragon Island right away, I’ll go to the new Dragon Island right now!”
“What a pity. I’ve already given you a chance, but you didn’t seize it!”
Meng Lei waved his hand and said coldly, “Bubbles, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? He’s yours!”
“Thanks, Master!”
Bubbles was overjoyed and couldn’t help but lick his tongue, as a hint of cruelty showed on his face.
As a Titan, it had a diverse diet, but Colossal Dragons were definitely the most delicious dish. Nonetheless, even though he was a half-deity, he hadn’t dared to eat a Colossal Dragon and risk offending the Dragon race.
Thus, he had not eaten dragon meat for a long time. Now that he could improve his diet once, how could Bubbles not feel joyful?
“Master Meng Lei, you can’t do this!”
Flit the 66th was terrified, but Meng Lei didn’t even look at him, so he had to beg Thaniel. “Grandmaster, save me, you are a half-deity, so long as you ask for a favor on my behalf, it is sure to save me…”
Ask for a favor?
Thaniel smiled bitterly.
I am just a ride. What the hell of an influence do I have!? Asking me to ask a favor for you? You should just go and die!
“I don’t want to see him!”
Meng Lei waved a hand.
“Yes, Master!”
Bubbles laughed viciously, and with a casual grab, he burst Flit the 66th’s head and stored his corpse into the spatial ring.
He would keep it first so that he could eat it slowly later.
“Sigh…”
Fred closed his eyes slowly and didn’t dare to look anymore. From the beginning till the end, he hadn’t begged for mercy.
Fred was certain that Meng Lei’s intention to kill the Colossal Dragons was never firmer, and begging for mercy would be completely useless.
“His Majesty died just like this?”
Dirk Norway, Fatty Hart, Hudders, and others drew a cold breath, and a chill coursed through their spines.
All along, the Fire Dragon King was at a high-up, unreachable position in their minds.
Yet just a moment ago, and right in front of them… The high-up, unreachable king’s head directly burst. This was something they wouldn’t dare picturing even in their dreams in the past.
Yet it just so happened!
“This is who Meng Lei is right now!”
“This is who Old Bro is right now!”
For the first time, Fatty Hart, Hudders, Jonah, and others truly witnessed Meng Lei’s splendor.
The so-called king, so-called sovereign of a country, was nothing at all in Meng Lei’s eyes and could be destroyed with the slightest effort.
“Puhaman, Thaniel!”
Right when the crowd was wildly imagining, Meng Lei spoke. “After I leave, the two of you should manage the empire’s affairs properly. I hope to hear good news from you after I return.”
“We’ll definitely live up to your expectations, Master!” Puhaman and Thaniel replied respectfully.
“And my friends, do also look after them properly, don’t neglect them!”
Meng Lei pointed at Fred, Hudders, and the others and gave special instructions.
“Yes, Master!”
…
“Master, the underground world is intricate and complex, pretty much like a maze. Without anyone to guide your way, you can easily get lost. It’s very troublesome even for us, half-deities.”
“Guiding the way? This is easy.”
The duo took only two hours to travel across the Dragon God Empire at breakneck speed and arrived at the Magical Beast Forest!
“Little Gold, can you hear me?”
Meng Lei contacted Little Gold through the spiritual contract.
“Boss!”
Little Gold was joyful and happy.
“It’s me! I’m here in the underground world!”
“Really? Awesome!” Little Gold was very happy. “Boss, where are you? I’ll go and find you right away.”
“Magical Beast Forest!”
“Wait for me. I’ll be there right away.”
After cutting off the connection, Meng Lei smiled and said, “My friend will be here very soon. With it guiding the way, we won’t worry about getting lost.”
“Friend?”
Bubbles was puzzled.
“Come, eat something first.”
Meng Lei took out the corpse of the Tricannon Pig and started barbecuing. He had nothing to do anyway. Eating more divine pig’s meat could supplement him with extra nourishment.
This was also the first time Bubbles saw the corpse of a divine beast, so he was utterly shocked.
But when the roasted pork released a tempting aroma, all the shock turned into desire and anticipation.
“Let’s eat.”
“Master, I can eat it?”
“Why not?”
“Thanks, Master!”
Bubbles devoured like a wolf, almost eating his own tongue.
Meng Lei also ate. “Bubbles, I heard you once raped the former Titan Queen?”
“Master, this is slandering!”
Bubbles rebutted. “Asley was my first love. It’s Hazeus who was the third wheel!”
“Uh…”
Meng Lei froze for a moment. “Say more!”
“The despicable Hazeus desired Asley’s beauty and forced Asley to marry him, making us break up forcefully!
“Out of desperation, I had to secretly meet Asley. Hazeus eventually found out about us, so he ordered to have Asley executed!
“Out of rage, I chose rebellion!
“Unfortunately, I was alone with weak forces, and the rebellion was suppressed. I was dismembered, with my limbs and head thrown out into the wild…
“Back then, I was in very deep despair, but the fire of revenge made me fall at the final moment.
“Subconsciously, I sensed the Fallen plane—the Demon Realm—far away. By absorbing the Demon Realm’s dark energy, I was revived and became a Fallen Titan!”
“You must love Asley very much?”
“Of course! She was the love of my life! The moment that she was executed, my heart died with her. Avenging her became the driving force for me to live on. I swore that I had to behead Hazeus with my own hands to avenge her!”
“Is Hazeus still alive?”
“He is! He also became a half-deity!”
“I see…”
