84: Push the limits! Transform, Titans!

"[Third Simulation: You focused on the Origin Giant.]"

"[You commanded Eren to transform into the Origin Giant, and attempted to evolve the Colossal Titan and Founding Titan within it, pushing them to a brand new level of life!]"

"[Fierce battle.]"

"[Leviathan attacked from the deep sea. The Origin Giant roared to the sky, using the Colossal Titan's abilities. Steam boiled, incinerating mountains and boiling seas, yet it still couldn't withstand Leviathan's power!]"

"[With a roar of unwillingness, the Origin Giant was devoured!]"

"[Simulation ended.]"

"Rewind." Su Bai waved his hand... "[Fourth Battle Simulation]"

"[Still focusing on the Origin Giant, this time, you no longer fought with a single creature. Instead, you split it into nine, and in one go, poured the noah's ark's energy into the nine titans, attempting to make them transform with immense energy!]"

"[The effect was almost negligible.]"

"[Although the nine titans each received different enhancements under the boost of this energy, they were still a long way from transformation!]"

"[The nine titans failed again.]"

"Continue rewinding!"

Su Bai didn't even think about it.

He had countless opportunities to make mistakes, and he could always find a glimmer of hope. Moreover, he had a premonition that the key to the Colossal Titan's transformation might... be right here!

... "[Fifth Battle Simulation]"

"[You summoned the Origin Giant again. Perhaps influenced by the memories of the previous two simulations, this time, the Origin Giant's body underwent some changes.]"

"[The icy armor covering its body began to melt, replaced by wisps of steam mixed with flames that started to dissipate...]"

"[At the same time.]"

"[Eren felt a strong summons from the seabed, as if there was something that could promote his evolution!]"

"Seabed?!"

A word of enlightenment, like a dream, woke Su Bai up.

Su Bai suddenly realized that if simply stacking energy couldn't make it evolve, then conversely, could he approach it from the aspect of attributes?

The Colossal Titan, with steam boiling all over its body,

In a way, it could be described as a fire-attributed transcendent creature.

And in the depths of this vast ocean, countless active volcanoes lay dormant, suppressed by the deep-sea beast Leviathan for thousands of years, never erupting!

The accumulated power was terrifying!

If he could harness it, perhaps... it could cause the Colossal Titan to transform!

Su Bai frowned again, "But the risk is great. If it fails, endless magma will engulf the Colossal Titan. This is a plan to put it in a deadly situation and then find life."

Gambling with his life!

Su Bai's heart pounded.

A long-lost sense of tension surged through his body, a feeling like an electric shock. He smiled, a very relaxed smile, as if he had suddenly let go of all worries.

"Another gamble. Coincidentally, I always welcome such gambles."

Su Bai chuckled softly.

The next moment,

His eyes turned cold, and his voice was decisive: "Start rewinding!"

At the same time,

His voice also reached Eren's mind, "Eren, go to the underwater volcano later, and use..."

Everything was arranged properly.

Su Bai's eyes were solemn as he quietly awaited the final outcome... "[Sixth Simulation!]"

"[This is a chance to escape, and a truly insane attempt!]"

"[You are prepared to bet everything on this simulation!]"

"[The noah's ark rumbled, most of its energy gone. You chose to activate God's Redemption! The powerful defensive shield was enough to withstand Leviathan for half an hour!]"

"[Meanwhile, in the distance, Leviathan's roar arrived as expected!]"

"[Eren stood on the deck, biting his skin, scarlet blood flowing.]"

"[He transformed into the Origin Giant!]"

"[Immediately after, he roared to the sky, encasing his entire body in a thick layer of crystal! Then, resolutely, he leaped into the ocean!]"

"[Tens of tons of weight added to his body accelerated his descent!]"

"[Cold, trembling...]"

"[After descending an unknown number of meters, above him, the sound of crashing waves grew increasingly intense. Leviathan's roar drowned out everything else, accompanied by booming thunder. The noah's ark tossed and turned in the tsunami...]"

"[His time was running out.]"

"[Eren told himself inwardly, sensing that strong pull. Eren swam all the way, and finally, he broke into a brand new underwater world!]"

"[Light!]"

"[Aurora!]"

"[Dazzling aurora!]"

"[Majestic mountains, grotesque rocks. Among them, thirty-one volcanoes were particularly peculiar, their peaks out of sight, extending all the way to the land, like pillars stabilizing the sea!]"

"[However, the topmost layer had already been destroyed.]"

"[That was the island where the examinees were previously.]"

"[Eren was stunned by this scene. After a moment of daze, he regained his senses, took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and urged the Origin Giant to leap into the active volcano!]"

"[Flames rolled, magma flowed... In a blink of an eye, the Origin Giant was swallowed by the active volcano!]"

"[Dead silence, cold... Eren's consciousness gradually faded, and the Origin Giant lost all movement, as if in a deep slumber, completely still.]"

"Did it fail?"

On the sea surface,

Hurricanes mixed with torrential rain, thunder mingled with dark clouds. Leviathan stirred up storms. The noah's ark, comparable to a small landmass,

At this moment,

was like a solitary boat adrift in a lonely sea, rising and falling, capable of capsizing at any moment!

"There's no other way. Let's start the next simulation."

Su Bai sighed, his finger moving towards the simulator's screen. Just as he was about to confirm the rewind,

In the simulation information,

The Origin Giant, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved, emitting a faint sound.

"This is..."

Su Bai's movements stopped.

His eyes held anticipation, and his heart unknowingly hung in suspense.

Was it going to succeed?

Or was it just a final burst of activity before complete death?

Regardless,

For now, let's wait and see.

Su Bai abandoned the idea of rewinding. The simulator continued to update, with text constantly appearing... Meanwhile,

Outside,

Many people gathered outside the teleportation square to welcome the examinees from their respective cities. Among them, Jiangcheng was particularly lively. Jiang Ruyue and Ye Lanxin,

By virtue of their scores, which were several times higher than others,

ranked third and sixth nationally, respectively... It could be said that they brought honor to their ancestors, and the entire Jiangcheng glowed with pride.

This was not all,

The truly significant news was that Jiangcheng had produced a top scholar of great xia!

In the third stage, he outmaneuvered many examinees and led Jiangcheng to become the last surviving city!

Most Jiangcheng examinees,

As a result, would at least be able to attend a mid-level academy, a truly unprecedented grand occasion!

However, after waiting and waiting,

When the light faded, Jiangcheng officials led by Ma Huateng desperately searched for Su Bai's figure in the crowd but did not see him.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Su Bai?"

"..."

His answer was met with silence.

Soon after,

Ma Huateng learned the truth and immediately became furious, growling through gritted teeth:

"Chen He!!!"

This damned human traitor,

actually betrayed this year's top scholar of great xia at the last moment. If this year's top scholar of great xia died tragically, not only would the Great Xia Federation's prestige be swept away,

But also,

the potential of this generation of examinees would be largely diminished!

They would struggle to take over the responsibilities of their predecessors. To put it seriously, this generation of examinees, having lost Su Bai as their leader, might... cause a generational gap in Great Xia's strength!

This was by no means an exaggeration.

Su Bai's displayed potential was too astonishing.

In his memory,

even throughout the entire College Entrance Examination, no one could rival him.

He truly achieved something unprecedented,

and even those who came after would find it difficult to reach such heights.

Ma Huateng's eyes were cold as he left. It seemed an S-rank bounty was not enough; he would personally go to the Abyss entrance to intercept and, if given the chance, kill Chen He!

... Meanwhile,

Inside the noah's ark,

A long twenty minutes passed, and the powerful defense provided by God's Redemption was about to dissipate.

The Origin Giant, dormant in the volcano,

after making an initial movement, remained silent. Su Bai waited patiently, one minute, two minutes... The time of destruction was approaching.

On the noah's ark, Su Bai stood at the bow. Behind him, many creatures from the Origin Realm were silent, including Mikasa, Levi, and others.

They... were all waiting.

Mikasa clenched her hands, forming a prayer gesture.

"Eren, live," she whispered.

Instantly,

The volcano erupted, magma breaking through the ocean's confines. In Leviathan's enormous eyes, for the first time, an emotion called astonishment appeared!

The simulator updated at this moment:

"[The Origin Giant merges with the power of volcanic magma!]"

"[The Colossal Titan transforms, becoming a Lava Giant! The Founding Titan senses the change, its bloodline resonates, and it also transforms!]"

"[Thus, all nine titans have transformed!]"

"[The power of the nine titans merges into one, forming a dazzling light cocoon. A desperate life fluctuation emanates from within...]"

Crack—

Su Bai heard

A sound of a giant object breaking from the seabed. Immediately after, a pillar of divine flame shot into the sky!

The Origin Giant bathed in magma, its icy armor now fused with the flames, transforming into a unique armor of ice and fire!

The aura it exuded... had clearly reached the Diamond Rank!

"[Transcendent evolution, breaking through limits, the Diamond-level Lifeform 'Titan Giant God' is born!]"

"[Due to the Titan Giant God's special bloodline, it possesses the opportunity to contend for divine authority. Seizing a complete authority allows it to condense a divine throne and transform into a Mythical-level Creature!]"

"[Current Authority: 0%]"
