## Chapter 1556 – Sword God Advent – Otherworld Demon God

The Titans’ ship was getting wrecked.

ㅡKWAANG!!!

Every punch thrown and foot stomped sent shrapnel flying and explosions erupting.

“You’re all dead, you sons of bitches!!!”

It felt like barging into someone’s living room with a baseball bat and going on a crazed rampage. No exaggeration, even smashing random things around would make tears of blood stream down their faces.

Each deck, each pillar, each building was a precious asset to these Titans.

As far as I knew, the Titans were a race that once ruled our world, but that bastard Lich summoned gods and fucked them over. I didn’t know the details, but they probably had a huge population, having built an empire, and a lot of them must have fled to other dimensions.

These guys were probably among them.

It’s been quite a while, so they seem to have built up this level of civilization, but no matter how advanced they are, losing a dimensional warship city like this can’t be pleasant.

“Daring to send monsters to the Blue Star Earth!!!! Such traitors will not be forgiven!!!”

ㅡPapat!

Just tap-dancing was enough to shatter the ship.

Honestly, I could turn a ship like this to dust with a single blow, but I have a lot of questions for these guys right now. If I smash things up enough, their leaders will come out and grovel for negotiations or something.

Then I can pretend to spare them, mess around a bit, and then hit them hard. This ominous race must be destroyed.

And.

ㅡPaaat!

As expected, a group of Titans suddenly teleported in front of me. They had shields, but that’s nothing.

“…!”
“…!”
“…!”

Anyway, they were wearing fancy clothes and jewelry. They were over 5 meters tall, so the amount of fabric needed to make their clothes must have been insane.

“Are you guys Titans?”

ㅡSseueuk.

I immediately stopped my actions and suppressed the space to prevent chain explosions. They’ve shown up, so I should talk to them. I’m going to uncover the secrets of this mysterious race, the Titans.

“I’m asking if you’re Titans.”
“Ancient Imperial language…!”
“So they know us!”

The shocked Titans stumbled back in surprise. Their steps were so heavy that the ground seemed to rumble.

“Hey guys? Are you Titans?”
“We are the chief officers of this ship! We request a conversation!”
“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, WHY DON’T YOU ANSWER WHEN SOMEONE ASKS A QUESTION!!!!!!!!!”

These bastards!!!

They never answer when asked!!!

ㅡKKIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!

“Kuaaahaaaaak!”
“Kiyaaaaaaaaak!”
“Aaaaaaaak!!!”

As the sonic wave blasted out, the Titans’ shields shattered and blood splattered! The Titans, with broken limbs, tumbled around in a mess!

“Why!!! Why don’t you answer when I ask!!! Why don’t you answer!!! I’m asking!!! Why don’t you answer!!!”
“Keuhaaaaak…!”
“No!!!!!!!”

Why!!! Why!!! Why!!! Why!!! Why!!! Why won’t they answer until the very end!!! I can’t understand!!!! I clutched my head with my right hand and stretched out my left!!!

“Celestial Demon Death Beam…!”

ㅡTuquakakakakakang!!!

The Celestial Demon Death Beam shot out in a straight line, obliterating the upper part of the ship. The Titans screamed as they watched it, writhing and vomiting blood. The Titans, wriggling like worms, slammed their foreheads on the ground.

“Answer!!! Are you Titans!!! Why won’t you answer meeeeeeeee!!!!”
“Y-yes! We are Titans! We are Titans! Please! Please spare us! We are Titans!”
“Oh. So you are. Good. Then let’s have a little chat.”
“Heoeok…!”

The insane rage that had been erupting subsided instantly when they answered my question properly. I fucking hate it when people give irrelevant answers when I ask something.

Just seeing those kinds of guys makes my rage explode and I can’t suppress my impulses…! Why!!! Why do these bastards have to be asked two, three, four, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times to answer something that could be answered with one question!!!

“I’ll ask one last time. Are you Titans?”
“Y-yes! We are Titans!”

Good.

“Okay. Let’s just do that from now on. I don’t think I can stand it if you say anything weird.”
“Understood! Understood! We will cooperate fully! So please spare us!”
“Spare you? You’re not in a position to suggest something like that. I’ll make all the questions and suggestions. So shut up and listen.”
“…!”

The Titan nodded.

ㅡSseueuk.

I used my power to lift him up and fix him in the air.

“Name and title?”
“M-my name is… Gantarei Petusa. My title is… the lord of this ship…”
“Medusa? Good name. Okay. Then I’ll call you Medusa from now on. You Medusa bastard.”
“…Understood.”

This bastard is really!!!

“You!!!!!!!”
“Heoeok?!”
“Your name is Petusa!!! You fucking bastard, why didn’t you correct me!!!!”
“Uh, uh? Uh uh uh?!”

This Titan really had a talent for driving people crazy!!

“This bastard doesn’t have the basic attitude to cooperate!!! You’re planning to hide all the information like that!!! Huh!!! Why didn’t you correct my mistake! Why didn’t you correct my mistake! Why didn’t you correct the name your mom gave you when it was wrong!!!”
“Uh, uh uh!!!”
“You’re planning to give me all false information no matter what I ask!!! Then you all die!!!”
“I-I was wrong!!! I was wrong!!! I didn’t think my humble name was important at all, so I didn’t bother to correct it!!! I’ll tell you everything I know!!! Please!!!”
“What? Was that it? Then I should understand.”

Petusa’s face contorted with fear.

“…!”

I did that on purpose just now. Calling him Medusa, that was just on purpose too.

Giving the person being interrogated some absurd fear to break their spirit before the interrogation is common sense.

I’ve been constantly honing this technique on heretics and robbers throughout my life. Now this terrified Titan will tell me everything.

“Hehehe, please correct me if I misunderstand anything in the future.”
“Certainly. I will certainly do so.”
“Good, Titan Lord. Then let’s begin the questioning. As far as I know, your Titans, High Priest Angrahel.”

Lich’s real name was Angrahel, and he was the high priest who was the leader of the human slave race during the Titan era. He summoned divine beings from beyond the dimensions using the forbidden arts of the Titans… If I can dig this up, I might be able to learn about the dimension where the Outer Gods exist.

“I thought you were wiped out by the Outer Gods he summoned with forbidden arts.”

Just as I finished speaking.

“A, Angrahel!!!”

The Titan Lord shouted as if having a seizure.

“How do you know that…!”

It is a sensitive history for the Titans.

“Is this bastard asking questions on his own?”
“Heoeok!”
“Shut up. Just listen to me. Weren’t you guys wiped out? What’s going on?”
“W-we weren’t completely wiped out! At the time, our Titans had built an empire and controlled the entire surface of the planet! There were so many of us! Of course, many escaped even as the divine beings from other dimensions were destroying our race!”
“Where to?”
“They escaped to other dimensions! Our Titans were well-versed in dimensional magic at the time!”

Oh. I see.

That reminds me of something.

A long time ago, I raided the Otherworld Palace with the elves and others in the borderlands. That huge palace was probably the Titans’.

But they seem to have been captured and destroyed by a race from another dimension. In other words, the Titans were all in a boat people state. No. They’re not people, so I should call them boat Titans. Gigantic refugees wandering on a dimensional scale.

If they escape and live well, they become like these guys, and if they fail, they become like those guys in the Otherworld Palace.

“I see. But these bastards are doing pretty well for having escaped? They even built a ship like this.”
“It’s been… quite a long time. It’s been thousands of years since we started wandering… The story of High Priest Angrahel has become almost a legend.”

Thousands of years.

“What did you do for thousands of years?”
“There has been a long history. Our Titans, who escaped to different dimensions in different ways… fought desperately for survival. We explored dimensions and planets for survival… We succeeded, but at the same time, we had many trials and errors and failures. In the past, we used to interact with other Titan groups… but that’s no longer the case. They’ve all scattered and lost contact.”

The Titan Lord explained in detail, as if reciting a lament.

Basically, they escaped from their homeland thousands of years ago. And they wandered through dimensions they didn’t even know well. They succeeded, but they also failed, and many of them went to ruin. As a result, they lost contact and that’s pretty much how it went.

“What a tragic history.”
“Indeed…”
“I’m not sympathizing, so shut your fucking mouth, you bitch.”
“A, understood.”

I really want to kill this bastard.

“But why haven’t you returned to your home dimension until now?”
“That’s because we weren’t ready yet. Attacking a dimension occupied by evil divine beings is… difficult even for us now.”

Ah.

These bastards don’t know that the Outer Gods have been fragmented. Actually, that’s probably it. They escaped when the gods were first summoned.

“Difficult. Then what was that thing I killed earlier? Was it called an Ascended Warrior?”
“H-how do you know that name…”
“Shut up. Just answer, you bastard.”
“He is… something like our ultimate weapon.”

Ultimate weapon.

“The souls and bodies of Titan heroes. And our technology and magic. Powerful demonic beasts and divine beings we defeated while wandering through dimensions… An artificial guardian god created using those things…”

The Titan Lord’s face was filled with great sadness as he said that. So that was a guardian god.

“Did you think he could beat me?”
“We have defeated several divine beings from other dimensions like you… and used them as resources. We thought he would win enough…”
“It was an irreversible choice. Anyway. Why did you invade Earth?”
“To obtain our land… The place where Earth is located was a relatively safe dimension.”

Safe dimension.

“Safe?”
“A world without divine beings and weak…”

I guess so.

“I see. Then what are the monsters?”
“They are bio-weapons created by combining the essence of alien races found in other dimensions with our technology.”
“I knew it. But hey. Why didn’t you guys go directly and send those monsters? You could easily steamroll Earth with just this one ship, right?”
“There is… a complicated reason.”
“How complicated can it be to be so heavy, you fucking bitch. Why don’t you tell me quickly?”
“A, understood! I’ll tell you right away!”

These bastards seem to know more than I thought, so I should be able to resolve all the things I’ve been curious about.
