The endless wasteland trembled violently as dark lightning split the pitch-black sky as the massive crystal suspended above the ruined world began to crack apart. The countless chains hanging from the heavens rattled ominously, producing a deafening sound that echoed throughout Orion's soul space.The little Orion instinctively hid behind Julius.His small hands trembled as he grabbed Julius's sleeve.“It's coming,” he whispered fearfully.Julius immediately noticed the change in his expression.“You've seen it before?”The child slowly nodded, “Every time I remember something important, it comes to hurt me”The Fifth Sovereign's voice echoed inside Julius's mind.“That explains everything”“What do you mean?”“The Soul Seal isn't merely suppressing his memories. It's actively preventing him from becoming who he was meant to be”Before Julius could ask another question, the black crystal shattered completely.An overwhelming wave of corrupted Titan energy swept across the ruined world

Silence filled the endless wasteland within Orion's soul space. The Soul Seal remained motionless, its countless crimson eyes fixed upon Julius. For thousands of years, it had fed upon despair, resentment, and the darkness hidden within people's hearts. It had witnessed kingdoms rise and fall and had consumed countless souls that succumbed to hatred and regret.Yet never for once had it encountered someone like Julius. The young Sovereign had seen humanity's flaws laid bare before him. He had witnessed betrayal, selfishness, and the tragic fate of the First Titan Era. He had learned that the very people the Titan Heirs sacrificed themselves to save had eventually come to fear and reject their legacy and still, he chose to believe in humanity.The Soul Seal could not understand it.“You are a fool,” it finally spoke, its voice echoing across the ruined landscape. “Humanity is greedy. It fears what it cannot understand and history will repeat itself, just as it always has”“Perhaps,”

The moment the Soul Seal disappeared, an overwhelming wave of Titan energy erupted from Orion's soul space and spread across the entire continent.Golden and amber lights intertwined in the sky like two ancient stars greeting one another after thousands of years of separation. The mountains surrounding the valley trembled gently, while rivers shimmered with strange celestial lights.Far away, sleeping creatures hidden within ancient ruins slowly opened their eyes.The Titan Hearts had begun to reunite and the world had noticed.Inside Orion's soul space, the once ruined wasteland had transformed completely. Towering mountains stretched endlessly toward the horizon, their peaks covered in pristine snow. Crystal-clear rivers flowed peacefully across the land, while countless wildflowers bloomed wherever one's eyes could see.The Earth Heart had finally returned to its original form.Orion stood silently upon a cliff overlooking the beautiful world that had once been hidden beneath cent

The atmosphere across the valley became unbearably heavy.The skies had long since darkened, and the overwhelming pressure emanating from Bahamut made even breathing difficult. Despite being several miles away, the Ancient Titan Beast's mere presence was enough to suppress the Titan energy of everyone present.This was a creature that had witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations.A being that had stood beside the Titan Core long before humanity learned how to wield Titan energy and now, it was judging the new Sovereign.Terragor immediately stepped forward.“Bahamut, this is madness!” he roared “The Sovereign has only just begun his journey, he isn't ready to face your judgment”The colossal beast slowly shifted its gaze toward the ancient Guardian“I CARE NOT FOR HIS PREPARATION”Its voice thundered across the mountains.“THE WORLD WILL NOT WAIT FOR HIM TO GROW STRONGER”The Guardian clenched his fists, “If the Titan Era is truly returning, then surely you understand that the Sov

The overwhelming pressure that had enveloped the entire mountain range gradually disappeared as Bahamut announced Julius's success.For the first time since the Ancient Titan Beast awakened, the skies above the valley returned to their calm and peaceful state. The dark clouds dispersed, revealing countless stars shimmering brilliantly across the heavens.Marcus immediately rushed toward Julius the moment the trial space collapsed.“You're alive!” he exclaimed before pausing for a moment. “Well, I knew you'd survive, but I was at least expecting you to come back missing an arm or something”Julius laughed helplessly, “Should I be concerned that you've already prepared several possible injuries for me?”“Naturally,” Marcus replied proudly. “It's become a survival instinct at this point” The others couldn't help but smile at their interaction.Although Bahamut's appearance had nearly caused everyone to lose hope, Julius had once again managed to overcome a seemingly impossible obstacl
