Chapter 51: Piercing the Divine

I’ve been to New York where the Titan is, so I can teleport there instantly. But first—there’s something I need to do.

If I beat the Titan, I’ll get an insane amount of experience points… and to level up efficiently at that moment, I’ll need the top-tier profession. Thinking that, I pulled out one job board from the sub-space.

“Grand Sage”… unlocked by maxing out Alchemist. That alone makes me think it’s higher than Alchemist.

If I fail to beat the Titan, I’ll level this job and try again! I’ve done everything I can—now I’m opening space for teleportation.

Even though it’s daytime, thick clouds cover everything, dim and heavy, as if the high concentration of mana is choking the sky. The magma oozing from the Titan glows with an eerie light.

The giant stands calmly on the earth, looking down over the ruined world spread beneath.

The Titan… wasn’t that a god’s name from Greek mythology? A giant, fought Zeus in the gods’ war, and was ultimately imprisoned in Tartarus… wasn’t it?

I’d believe this giant is a god right now. That’s how intense it feels!

I land before the Titan… unlike before, the giant now recognizes me as an enemy. Quietly… but unmistakably, it radiates killing intent.

“Let’s settle this! Titan!!”

The Titan slowly plunges its hands into the molten ground beneath its feet… straining, pulling something up, tearing the earth apart with a grinding, ripping sound as it lifts it into the air.

What I was holding was a giant “axe” that looked like it was nearly a hundred meters long. I checked it with “鉴定.”

Annihilation Battle Axe Rank SSS

They say one swing can shatter mountains.

Myth-tier weapon.

“…Can I actually land this on him?”

The Titan swings the axe down. Instantly—

The ground explodes outward, melting into magma that sprays across the entire area. Anyone hit would be killed in one blow…

Of course, I dodged with instant teleportation, but I still felt a thrill at how seriously he was aiming to kill me.

“Now it’s my turn!”

I teleported to just below the edge of the atmosphere. Going any further would mean space. Right now, I’m using Wind Magic to form an atmospheric layer around me for protection, but if I went all the way into space, that’d be seriously dangerous… This is the absolute limit.

From the rift in subspace, I pulled out a massive “sphere” made of mithril. I’d already applied Enhancement Magic to it, drastically increasing its hardness.

I’m directly above the Titan now. The sphere slowly descends under gravity, and I follow, flying toward the ground.

Normally, a mithril sphere would fall through air resistance, but I’ve used Wind Magic to reduce air pressure along its entire trajectory to the absolute limit—accelerating it as much as possible.

Then, I applied gravity manipulation, increasing gravity to 100 times normal.

It’s hard to manipulate gravity on the Titan himself, but for something this size, I can easily apply enough force.

Breaking through the clouds, the mithril sphere plummets, leaving sound behind. Noticing the attack from above, the Titan raises his right hand, gripping his massive axe to intercept.

This is the strongest attack I can pull off right now—

“—Meteor Impact Shockwave—!!!”

At the moment of impact, an unimaginable explosion and shockwave swallowed everything around me.

Blinding light and fire—like a nuclear blast… I was already ten kilometers away, teleporting at the instant of collision.

All I could see ahead was swirling dust and smoke—no sign of the Titan… Not possible he came out unscathed from that explosion…?

As the dust slowly settled… a massive silhouette emerged.

Missing his right hand, battered all over—but still standing tall. Can I really bring this guy down…?

But…

The giant slowly bent his knees, crashing to the ground with a thunderous boom.

After enduring an attack far stronger than seven nuclear bombs, the titan—probably for the first time in his life—kneeled before an enemy. Yet even now, he still glared at me from ten kilometers away.

“Your weakness? You’re just too damn big!!!”

I teleported up to near space. Of course, I didn’t bring just one mithril sphere. I’d prepared four—crafted specifically to take down the Titan.

I’ll keep firing them as many times as it takes.

I moved with the falling mithril sphere again. Can’t miss. Can’t be sloppy. Gotta hit him dead-on. I focused harder, imagining the air tunnel created by my wind magic—sharper, clearer.

Using atmospheric pressure differences, I subtly adjusted the sphere’s trajectory. Target: the back of the Titan, face-down on the ground.

Four hyper-speed meteors—smashing into the giant, crawling on all fours!!!

If you can take it, then take it!!!

"——Meteor Extreme Impact——!!!"

Right in the middle of the Titan’s back, slamming into it! Instantly—something between a scream and a roar erupts as the Titan’s body shatters, a monstrous explosion swallowing the area in dust and sand...

"Teim!!!"

A massive magic circle spreads across the ground, a pillar of light shooting skyward. I glance at the glowing board that appeared in my hand. If the Teim succeeded, the Titan’s name should be showing up on this “list.”

Teim’s job rank is maxed out at “SSS,” and my luck stat’s been skyrocketing thanks to skills like “Blessing” and “Goddess’s Blessing.” The success rate should be hovering near 100%... but...

A flood of experience points pours into my body from afar.

Staring up at the towering dust cloud, I suddenly collapse, utterly drained, and just sit there.

"Done... finally did it..."

I lie flat on the earth, arms and legs splayed, basking in the sheer relief of accomplishment.

The Titan’s name was displayed on the list in my hand... Success! Teim worked!
