This alluring, or rather, ingratiating skill, combined with Piper's innocent and adorable face and petite, charming body, created a striking contrast. Especially when he heard the little puppy softly calling his name, calling him "darling," his surging dragon struck his little bun directly. The moment the hot, hard object pressed against her, Piper's already soft and delicate body instantly became even more powerless, completely leaning against Zhuang Sen, as if she had become an accessory to him, with her little bun overflowing with honey-like fluid.
"Darling~" The little puppy struggled to lift its head and kissed Zhuang Sen's chin, its pink tongue leaving a sticky trail of saliva on Zhuang Sen's face. "Carry me home~"
...a river crab passing by...
Before he could erupt, Zhuang Sen, deep within the greenhouse, gently ground against Piper, interrupting his smugness. Zhuang Sen leaned close to the little dog's ear, who was both frightened and delighted, and spread his wings: "There's no time to walk slowly anymore, are you ready?"
Johnson released his hands and pulled Bessie, Celine, and Lissandra, who had already come closer. Piper, who had lost his support, fell again and could only cling tightly to Johnson, swallowing him even deeper to maintain his balance.
Zhuang Sen chuckled twice, then dragged his wives into the air. In the snowy night, their white wings fluttered. The soldiers saw them but didn't care. They all knew that this was their lord, and besides, they didn't have any means to threaten the air force. Ordinary bows and crossbows couldn't be used to attack the air in this snowy night.
So they only glanced at it twice, confirming it was the Earl's white wings, before focusing on something else, completely unaware that Zhuang Sen's body had become much more bloated, or that rain seemed to be falling from the sky. Even little Piper himself was immersed in extreme pleasure, completely losing sight of his surroundings.
Under the influence of high speed and flight posture, Little Piper finally collapsed completely during a spasm, and was opened up by Big Zhuangsen. The extremely tight cervix was violently forced open, and Zhuangsen felt the ultimate stimulation and pleasure, and ejaculated inside.
After a while, Johnson and Piper, who had regained their senses, landed in his tent. Although Lysander, Besh, and Celine wanted to punish Johnson on the spot, one of them ran to find clothes for Piper, and another searched for bottles and jars in the tent. Only Lydia's teasing laughter made the limp Piper blush with embarrassment.
The courage she had mustered was dispelled by the warmth of the tent, and her lower body, still savoring the pleasure, was flowing with honey-like fluid. The little puppy's face was rosy, and she had gained a touch of mature charm.
After changing his clothes, Johnson bent down and kissed Piper's forehead. He then took Bessie and Lysander back into the sky to fetch water from the Fountain of Youth. This time, the journey was smooth and quick, as all three were eager to return to their tents and finish before tomorrow's march.
Some time after Zhuang Sen and his group finished fetching water, late at night.
A frail old man, who looked as if a gust of wind would knock him over, came to the Fountain of Youth with a cane: "Finally... I found it... cough cough."
Brad the Mud Monster coughed lightly, reaching out to touch the water's surface as he chanted in an obscure language: "Come, ancient water elementals, our allies, cleanse me of my filth—"
His hands, covered in age spots, touched the water's surface. The cool sensation cleansed his soul, but only for a moment. The next second, a melodious yet piercing voice, filled with resentment and anger, roared out: "Inferior! Species!!!"
The sound was deafening, and strangely, the wild beasts nearby seemed completely oblivious, as if the noise was confined to this wintery spring scene. But Brad had no time for such details, for with the roar, a colossal wave, tens of meters high, suddenly surged from the once calm and clear spring, crashing down upon him!
Damn it! He hasn't even drawn water yet, how could he have angered the goddess of the spring?!

Chapter 243: Assassination
Brad had mentioned during his meeting with Zhuang Sen that he was only visiting Zhuang Sen on the way, but actually had other important business to attend to: finding this spring, the "Divine Kingdom of the Spring Goddess." He had traveled to several nearby territories, using numerous methods, before finally catching its trail, deciphering its movement patterns, and finding this place.
Then, he was suddenly ambushed by the goddess of the spring.
Moreover, now that the lingering resentment of the Goddess of the Spring has awakened, all his plans have fallen through. He went to great lengths to find this spring for two reasons: one, to repair his usual old body. Although he could manipulate bodies at will, this body currently had the best compatibility with him. The other was to use this divine kingdom to enhance his strength and further advance his bloodline!
Unfortunately, it all came to nothing.
Gazing at the still-clear but no longer calm lake, Brad's rational mind told him he'd better leave quickly; the now-mad goddess of the spring wouldn't give him any face. But emotionally, the sunk costs made him want to try one more time. Even if he couldn't evolve, at least he could repair his current body.
Brad gritted his teeth, revealing his enormous, foul-smelling form, which rapidly spread toward the distant spring.
As long as we reach a certain point, as long as we get there!
boom!
The colossal wave crashed down again, but Brad was prepared, and the damage was much less. After all, he was a powerful being who had awakened five times, and he was facing only a remnant of a spirit, not the complete Mermaid Queen, the Goddess of the Spring. Moreover, his goal wasn't to defeat the Goddess of the Spring, but simply to obtain some of the spring water!
Fight!
……
The silent battle in the Black Forest went unnoticed. Zhuang Sen had a wonderful night and continued his march the next day, eventually arriving smoothly at the destination of this feint attack—White Stork Territory.
This is a very ordinary small baronial territory, famous for its many white storks, but behind it lies the road leading directly to St. Gold, the capital of the Farau territory. Taking it is like lifting the last veil of the Farau woman, exposing the most sensitive and important area. Therefore, the military force gathered here has long exceeded the level that a baronial territory should have, and it is stockpiled in a magnificent castle that is completely not what a baronial territory should have.
However, Zhuang Sen didn't really intend to take this place right now. If he took it too quickly, it would be difficult to continue farming the Bloodline Order. In any case, taking only Farau Territory wouldn't make him a marquis. Besides, the casualties from sieges in this weather were too high. No matter how wealthy he was, he couldn't play like this. It would be better to help his sister-in-law accumulate more merits. Maybe she would be granted the title of marquis directly.
Then I can go find my father-in-law, Borodi King Starr, and get some more gold coins, and I'll have the title of Duke. And next year, I can team up with the Falling Star Kingdom to beat up White City; who knows, I might even become the King of White City in one fell swoop, that would be even better.
As Zhuang Sen envisioned the future, the Leon army busied themselves setting up camp and felling trees, preparing for a siege, which made the onlookers on the city walls tense. Under Lydia's leadership, the Leon army had already gained considerable fame and power; in a full-scale war, they would at least possess the characteristic of intimidating the enemy. Moreover, Zhuang Sen had raised his own banner, and the nobles of Falau had no desire to confront a bloodline user who had awakened four times!
They all looked at the flag atop the wall; on its golden fabric, a crimson dragon, its claws outstretched, fluttered in the wind, barely giving them the will to hold on. Even that "madman" Zhuang Sen wouldn't lay a hand on the First Princess, the daughter of the Titan King, would he? Besides, they'd heard he'd lost to the First Princess in a one-on-one duel; with the First Princess around, they shouldn't have to worry, right?
There's really no need to worry.
Serafina stood atop the wall, her tall figure completely covered by runic armor. Even her cold and arrogant face was obscured by the full-coverage barrel helmet, making her look like a steel statue. She exuded an ominous aura that kept strangers at bay, preventing the anxious nobles around her from approaching her.
It wasn't until Serafina herself slowly spoke up: "Hmph, a bunch of third-rate soldiers, relying entirely on their superior equipment. If my guards had that kind of equipment, I could take them down in three charges."
The nobles were at a loss for words. They all knew that when Princess Serafina visited Saint Gold City, she had requested Count Orco to provide her with 500,000 gold coins to purchase the rune equipment she had ordered from Johnson. Count Orco had refused, offering only 100,000. This incident had spread widely, as Princess Serafina had expressed extreme dissatisfaction and subsequently refused to see Count Orco again, spending her days sweeping away "cults" and bandits.
This has resulted in them not yet receiving bloodline warriors bestowed by the Goddess of Blood. Therefore, the nobles of the Farau family also harbor resistance and dissatisfaction towards Serafina, but they dare not say it at all. Now that the Leon army is pressing in, they dare not say it even more.
They had said that if the Queen left in anger, or even asked them for money to buy Zhuang Sen's rune equipment, wouldn't they be doomed? So, faced with Serafina's "malicious" remarks, the nobles who had just wanted to chat with her suddenly froze on the spot, as if they had been petrified, and started counting the snowflakes falling from the sky.
Serafina turned to look at them, without any regret. Her sudden mention of runic equipment wasn't about money; she knew these nobles wouldn't give her any. Her goal was to determine if any of them were members of the Bloodline Order. She planned to use rhetoric to silence them, make them feel awkward, and force them to look away. But a true assassin wouldn't give up their investigation over something so trivial.
However, it seems they have no intention of making a move yet.
Serafina thought for a moment, then shook her head and said calmly, "Open the city gates. I'll go talk to Zhuang Sen about his illegal intrusion."
She needs to actively create opportunities for the assassins to strike; constantly being on guard is neither her style nor a good way to deal with assassination attempts.
The nobles could not refuse her order, nor could they send the princess alone to face the enemy. So, moments later, the city gates swung open, and Serafina, surrounded by nobles and their guards, rushed toward Johnson's camp. Amid the chaos, the priests of the Blood Order slowly approached Serafina, who was being protected by the Red Dragon Guards.
Then, unsurprisingly, the moment the sunlight was blocked by a large tree, all six priests simultaneously sprang into action, unleashing their strongest attack! The red dragon guards surrounding Serafina fell to the ground, managing only to block two attacks before the remaining four landed precisely on Serafina!
【Death Finger】
[High-efficiency petrochemical]
【Mind Breaking】
[Exhausted flesh and blood]
Even if the level three bloodline users of the Bloodline Order are all inferior products, a hodgepodge, the combined power of the four is definitely enough to kill some unsuspecting and poorly defended level four bloodline users. And while the red dragon is a type with strong vitality, Seraphim is only at the third awakening level!
It worked!
The assassins cheered inwardly and were about to retreat when they heard a violent dragon roar.
【Longwei】!
In an instant, the four assassins were frozen in place. Then, a burst of crimson dragon flames shot towards them. Before they even touched it, the scalding heat hit them, burning their skin with blisters.
Just as the assassination was about to come to a swift and clean end, a strange bubbling sound suddenly rang out. Immediately afterwards, a cloud of black earth carrying a strong stench rose up, easily extinguishing the dragon's breath and enveloping Serafina.
Chapter 244: King of Titans!
The filthy, black, and foul-smelling slime blotted out the sky, instantly turning the entire space into a pitch-black mass, as if the sun itself had been swallowed by this abruptly appearing, eerie substance. The intense stench caused dizziness, mental confusion, and an inability to think rationally, leading to increasing despair. Only a few with superior bloodlines and unwavering wills fared slightly better, but even then, they only gained a clearer view of the vile, ugly, and nauseatingly large body of the slime monster, further highlighting the disparity between them and giving rise to even greater despair.
Five Awakenings—
To these minor nobles with only first or second-level bloodlines, this was a power akin to that of a god. Faced with such terrifying power, they were utterly powerless to resist, filled only with bewilderment, grief, and despair. Why had they encountered such a thing?
Of course, it's because Brad needs to heal and needs enough nutrition.
After a fierce battle with the lingering resentment of the Goddess of the Spring, he successfully obtained the spring water and repaired his old body, but he also suffered considerable injuries. He didn't know how long it would take for him to recover, but if he could consume a sufficient amount of bloodline—such as that of a red dragon—he could not only recover quickly, but might even become stronger.
Therefore, the fourth-level bloodline user originally arranged by Bishop Cameron became Brad himself, and the original plan to assassinate only Seraphia turned into devouring everyone who came out at once! Although the first and second-level bloodlines were of little use to Brad's injuries, it didn't matter, he was a stinky mud monster and never picky about food.
Faced with such a blow, Serafina's icy expression remained unchanged, not because she still had any trump cards, but because she accepted the defeat. A bloodline user who had undergone five awakenings was not someone she could handle in her current state, unless she immediately completed her fifth awakening. But not only was her bloodline development insufficient, she also didn't have any awakening potions on her, nor did she have the time to use them and wait for them to take effect.
Honestly, how could a powerful being with five awakenings suddenly appear and target her, the eldest princess? Wasn't the Bloodline Cult supposed to be keeping a low profile...? No, I'm just too weak and too arrogant. Zhuang Sen clearly reminded her that the Bloodline Cult has bloodline members with five awakenings.
Ah, it seems she can no longer protect Celine. Hopefully, after she dies, Johnson will treat her well. Greck will definitely not let Celine go... Celine...
Long, drawn-out thoughts flashed by, only to quickly fade as the stench drew closer. Serafina opened her eyes wide, facing death with the utmost courage. Even in death, she was still the eldest princess of the Fallen Star Kingdom, with the blood of a red dragon flowing through her veins—a knight! Yes—
The black, filthy, foul-smelling mud suddenly closed in, about to devour all its prey. In that instant, a chilling fear choked the princess's anger. The silent void dissolved her strength, and in the boundless expanse, an uncontrollable vulnerability gradually rose, making her want to cry out for help.
Then, divine light tore through the darkness and illuminated her vision.
……
In the distance, the moment Zhuang Sen saw Brad suddenly appear, he realized the problem. Before Celine beside him could cry out, a holy white spear appeared in his hand, and his body flickered with different lights like a broken light bulb. It wasn't just his own power that was amplified; there was also the support of Lydia, Bessie, Lysander, and even Piper.
Just as Brad closed his body, in that instant, Johnson suddenly threw the Holy Lance in his hand.
The holy white spear glowed, like a thunderclap, like lightning cast by a god, silently streaking across the air until it disappeared into the distance, at which point it exploded with a tremendous sound, precisely hitting the spot Zhuang Sen had aimed at, a spot where no one was.
[Holy Lance - Guaranteed Hit]!
【Holy Lance: Starfall】!
【Holy Lance - Divine Punishment】!
Like a drill bit piercing mud, Johnson's holy spear pierced Brad's filthy body. The intense holy light erupting from the spear, like a torch in the long night, illuminated the dark mud and reawakened the despairing crowd. A resounding dragon roar seemed to echo in response, and the crimson dragon seized the opportunity, flapping its wings and soaring out from the rift!
However, despite being abruptly injured, Brad showed no hesitation. His damaged body wriggled and healed, even extending several black mud tentacles that grabbed the red dragon's hind limbs and pulled it back into his body! At the same time, he roared at Zhuang Sen in the distance. For some reason, Zhuang Sen understood the meaning of the roar.
He promised to help Zhuang Sen resolve the trouble caused by the death of the eldest princess in front of him, and would also give Zhuang Sen a generous gift, asking him to stop interfering with him. If Zhuang Sen were truly a shapeshifter, a good ally of the Bloodline Order, he should have stopped by now, but he wasn't, so he threw another Holy Lance! He even used greater force, making this Holy Lance catch up with the second one thrown before Brad roared!
A violent sonic boom resounded in mid-air as the two holy lances arrived almost simultaneously, tearing Brad's body apart completely. The red dragon, now free, flapped its wings and soared into the sky, circling high above and exhaling scorching dragon breath that flowed into Brad's body through the tear in the lances of Johnson.
Although the dragon flames at the third awakening level couldn't cause Brad too much trouble, they were still the flames of a red dragon, and Brad couldn't be completely immune. So, in an instant, Brad burst into flames. The stinky sludge monster, which was originally like a giant lump of garbage, became a giant lump of burning garbage.
"Roar!!!" (Zhuang Sen, what are you doing!!)
Brad wasn't worried about the dragon flames; he was more concerned about Johnson's sudden attack. Those three shots, with their devastating power, would have made him suspect Johnson was trying to kill him if they hadn't missed their vital points! Of course, it was precisely because Johnson hadn't aimed for his vitals that he still trusted him. But he was still puzzled as to why Johnson was so determined to save Serafina—she wasn't his little princess!
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the death of the eldest princess gave the younger princess the right to ascend to the throne!
Brad was also getting a little angry. He stopped aiming at the red dragon in the sky and instead aimed at Zhuang Sen. Hundreds and thousands of stinking mud spears condensed from his writhing body and were fired at where Zhuang Sen was! The spearheads were all covered in a malicious, excrement-yellow color. Even if you didn't know what kind of vicious effects they had, just looking at the color and where they came from, no one wanted to be hit by them!
Zhuang Sen did the same. He simply threw out the fourth Holy Lance, endured the fatigue of his bloodline power being rapidly depleted, spread his wings, scooped up all his wives around him, and flew into the sky!
But as he took off, a huge figure appeared in front of him first.
It was a giant, a hundred meters tall, with an earthy yellow body! That was the Titan King!

Chapter 245: The Old Father's Anger
Titans stand tall on the earth!
This was the first thought that popped into Zhuang Sen's mind when he saw the enormous figure that suddenly appeared. The sheer size of the object before him made it difficult not to make certain associations, and he was already quite prudent, considering how many works on Earth had depicted giant robots and giant girls. For most people, the sudden appearance of such a colossal creature was a complete shock to their worldview. Even the well-trained elite Shadow Raven Knights were thrown into a state of uncontrollable chaos.
What a colossal creature it was! Its legs stretched like pillars supporting the sky, reaching towards the heavens; its back resembled the sky itself, obscuring the sun and moon; its arms, when simply outstretched, caused the clouds and rain to recede, and all colors were swallowed by the earthy yellow, just like gravity, devouring everything! It merely breathed in place, yet the breath it exhaled was like a whirlwind, stirring up complex dust, and the booming sound was like a thunderclap, awe-inspiring and terrifying!
This is the king of the Fallen Star Kingdom, this is the Titan King!
Zhuang Sen suddenly felt that the [Holy Lance Angel] wasn't so appealing anymore, but then he thought about it again and felt that something was not quite right—did a normal [Earth Titan] bloodline really have such terrifying power? Or was it that his father-in-law actually had some special abilities, such as undergoing some special transformation through that artifact in his palace?
While Johnson still had time for idle thoughts, Brad was filled with nothing but panic. He was no match for Baro King Anser. If he could win, why would he bother contacting Grand Duke Steller to instigate a rebellion? He could have just stormed the palace. Especially now, his injuries from the lingering resentment of the Goddess of the Spring hadn't healed, and he'd also taken three holy spear strikes from Johnson, making his injuries even more severe. He was even less likely to be a match for Baro King Anser.
—Wait, why did Zhuang Sen suddenly attack him but not his vital points? Was he telling him to run?
A warm feeling welled up in Brad's heart, but he didn't have the time or the inclination to apologize to Zhuang Sen at this moment; that would only harm Zhuang Sen and himself even more. So, he simply swiftly inflated his massive mud body, transforming into a mud giant ten meters shorter than Baruo, and roared as he charged towards Baruo. This wasn't because he was out of his mind, but rather a choice he had no other option. He was a mud monster, inherently lacking in speed, and his only hope was to stall Baruo while using the opportunity to let the core hide and escape.
The sudden appearance of the Mud Giant caused another wave of panic. Although Brad was shorter than Baroo, to the average soldier, ninety meters and one hundred meters were both towering figures, indistinguishable at all! Moreover, to them, Baroo and Brad were indeed no different; both were powerful beings who could crush them in groups with a single stomp. Fortunately, Baroo revealed his Titan form in front of Leon's army and Zhuang Sen. Between the two, apart from Serafina who had already flown into the sky, there were only nobles and soldiers from the Farau family, as well as a few priests and assassins from the Bloodline Order.
Oh, they're all gone. They've all gone into Brad's stomach.
Having successfully swallowed a pile of blood, Brad roared and threw a punch at Baroo. His arm, formed from solidified mud, unleashed astonishing power, generating a wide-ranging gust of wind mixed with an extremely strong stench. Even Zhuang Sen couldn't help but rise higher and use a purification spell to dispel the stench. Baroo also frowned slightly, seemingly feeling nauseous. He slowly raised his fist, twisted his body backward, and then unleashed a powerful straight punch!
An even more violent sonic boom erupted, the white sonic boom rings so clearly visible against the azure sky. Baroo's fist, as resilient as steel from the depths of the earth, slammed into the sludge giant's outstretched fist. The instant the two colossal beings collided, another deafening roar followed. Soldiers clutched their ears in pain, many bleeding profusely from their ears—clearly, their eardrums had been ruptured by the explosion. And this wasn't even considered an aftershock of the battle.
Baroo had no time to pay attention to the soldiers below. Brad's unexpected toughness surprised him, but that was all. A light emanated from his body, and his already terrifying physique was further enhanced. His earthy yellow skin turned rock gray, his fists took on a metallic sheen, and his size increased slightly—to about ten meters for a hundred-meter Titan.
"Titan..." A thunderous voice, like a final judgment, reverberated through the sky, followed by a genuine iron fist, "Heavy punch!"
Brad's fist was directly shattered by Baruo's left straight punch, while his right fist, which had been locked in a stalemate, continued its forward thrust without any diminishing force, as if the power of the left punch had no effect on it, completely defying the rules of normal power generation. But for Baruo, this was just routine; when he stood firmly on the ground, his power was limitless!
The earth is the source of his power!
"Titan... Heavy Punch!!!"
A right straight punch landed heavily on Brad's head, knocking him to the ground. The massive body, carrying immense acceleration, slammed heavily into the ground, creating a huge crater at the junction of White Stork Territory and Deherim Plains, which had been relatively flat! But even so, Brad didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries—sludge monsters aren't good at speed, but they are very good at dealing with physical attacks!
"Roar!!"
With a roar, the mud on Brad's body transformed into thousands of sharp arms, wrapping around and piercing towards Baroo from all directions. Anything that stood in its way, whether trees or birds, was crushed to dust. Even the earth was torn apart by these mud tentacles, creating countless deep trenches, each large enough to become a trench or even a moat to hinder cavalry! The once flat terrain was transformed into loess hills!
With just one strike, the entire Leon army would be wiped out!
Even Zhuang Sen wouldn't dare to take it head-on, but it wouldn't hit him anyway, as the Holy Gun Angel is very fast. However, the massive Titan isn't as agile as Zhuang Sen; how will he defend?
The answer is, beating!
Beat him with your well-trained body!
Baroo threw another punch, seemingly no different from the previous two, but those muddy tentacles seemed to be deliberately cooperating, all crashing into his metallic iron fist, and then being easily smashed and crushed like squid facing an iron pillar falling from the sky, until Baroo's heavy fist landed unstoppably on Brad's chest!
The pit, already deep enough for Leon's army to conduct exercises, sank again, creating a huge basin on the plain. Brad's mud tentacles paused strangely in the air for a moment before collapsing. Zhuang Sen looked down and saw that Brad's chest had been pierced through by Baro's iron fist, and the basin floor beneath his back was visible.
