Chapter 373: Chapter373-Donald, Inheritor of [Dark Titan]

Orlando’s domineering words caused a trace of surprise to flash across Caelan and the others’ faces.

All this time, the human race had always been the type to quietly accumulate strength and reap benefits behind the scenes. They never took the initiative to provoke trouble, but they would never allow themselves to suffer a loss either.

None of them had expected that the upper echelons of humanity had already changed their way of thinking.

The bearing Orlando displayed was, in fact, representative of the attitude of the entire human race.

"So... their races won’t come looking for trouble with us, right?" Caelan asked casually.

Before Orlando could answer, Kate, who stood nearby, excitedly waved her little fist, looking eager to give it a try.

"If they dare come looking for trouble, I’ll smash them to death!"

Caelan immediately nodded along, making his own position clear.

After all, when it came to fighting, he had never been afraid of anyone. Besides, his younger sister was here with him.

There was a special kind of telepathic connection between him and Kate. Neither of them needed to speak to know exactly what the other was thinking.

As a result, the coordination between them could reach an astonishing level of tacit understanding, allowing them to unleash combat power far greater than the simple sum of one plus one.

Orlando, on the other hand, merely smiled unconcernedly and waved his hand.

"Don’t worry. They neither have the courage nor the ability."

"Before we set off, I had already informed those minor races of your identities. As long as they aren’t fools, they would never dare cause trouble at a time like this."

"Of course, if they insist on making trouble, we humans wouldn’t mind casually wiping out a few insignificant little races. What the Alliance of All Races needs most right now is unity. Do you understand?"

Caelan nodded gently.

Everything his maternal grandfather had said was more or less what he had expected. Moreover, even if a fight truly broke out, Caelan did not believe the opposing side had any chance of winning.

Just then, Orlando suddenly offered another reminder.

"Caelan, Kate, I know that both of you are extremely powerful. However, I need to remind you of something. Strong as you may be, neither of you has mastered the complete power of the Laws."

"The relationship between two races is not simply a matter of fighting and killing. There are also favors, interests, and politics involved."

"In short, these matters are not as simple as you imagine."

At Orlando’s explanation, Kate frowned, making it clear that she did not understand any of this at all.

Orlando, however, remained extremely patient and continued explaining it to her.

"Every race has a group of hidden, top-tier Awakeners. They will not easily take action, because they need to rely on energy to sustain their constantly aging bodies."

"But if their race truly encounters a crisis that could lead to its complete annihilation, then even if it costs them their lives, they will still choose to act."

"You should both understand the principle that even a cornered dog will leap over a wall. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no need to force matters to that point."

"Of course, if things truly must escalate to that extent, then you must remember to uproot the problem completely and leave no future threat behind."

"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. In extremely rare cases, however, we may also have eternal enemies."

"You must always remember one thing: only a dead enemy is a qualified enemy."

Orlando did his best to pass some of his experience and lessons on to the three youngsters.

Of course, the purpose of doing so was not to encourage them to slaughter everyone without mercy. Rather, he wanted them to understand that now was not the time to make a move.

The Lord of the Abyss was about to descend. No one knew what would happen afterward, so the myriad races had no choice but to temporarily put aside their hatred for one another.

Furthermore, the strength of the human race was no longer what it had once been.

Therefore, even if the geniuses of those races had been killed, they could only grit their teeth, swallow their resentment, and accept it.

As Orlando chatted with the three youngsters, he led them into the grand assembly hall.

However, the moment they passed through the entrance, they saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed elf dressed in a long, elegant tailcoat waiting by the doorway.

"You must be the friends from the human race. Welcome to the conference hall of the Alliance of All Races. My name is Donald, an elf and also an inheritor in possession of two [Dark Titan] inheritance items."

The moment Kate heard Donald’s introduction, her eyes immediately lit up.

She nudged Evelyn beside her with her elbow and whispered excitedly,

"Sister Evelyn, that blond-haired freak has the other two inheritance items. Do you want them?"

Evelyn did not answer, but a thoughtful look flashed through her eyes.

Just then, Donald suddenly turned around and openly extended a hand toward Kate.

"Hello. Unless I am mistaken, you should be Caelan’s Mirror Image, correct? It is an honor to meet you here."

Donald did not seem to care in the slightest about Kate’s implied threat.

Kate, on the other hand, simply tilted her nose upward at him.

"I have no interest in meeting you, but I am very interested in hunting you down. How about we have a one-on-one fight later?"

After saying that, Kate excitedly waved her fist.

The gentle smile on Donald’s face instantly froze.

At that moment, Caelan suddenly spoke up.

"Right, what about the inheritor of [Divine]? Has he arrived yet?"

Seeing that Caelan had changed the subject, Donald secretly let out a small sigh of relief before answering with a smile.

"According to the information currently available to us, the Titan race obtained the [Divine] inheritance item."

"However, his circumstances are somewhat unusual. He appears to have suffered severe injuries and is currently receiving treatment."

After saying this, Donald helplessly spread his hands.

According to the intelligence possessed by the elves, both [Divine] inheritance items should currently be in Caelan’s hands.

Apart from that, the inheritance item belonging to the deceased [Divine] inheritor of the Ivorykin seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

When Evelyn heard that the Titan race’s [Divine] inheritor had been severely injured, she frowned slightly.

An inheritor was an existence who would receive the strictest protection in any race.

So how had he ended up injured in the first place?

Perhaps having noticed Evelyn’s confusion, Donald smiled faintly and took the initiative to share what he knew.

"No, no. You seem to have misunderstood something. That member of the Titan race is not receiving treatment because someone else injured him."

"To be precise, the injuries on his body were caused by himself. As you should already know, the [Divine] class is extremely special. Not only can it heal others, it can also absorb the power of other beings."

"I heard that the Titan race seemed to have carried out some kind of special experiment... but it failed."
