Mo Fan initially planned to stay at the Parthenon Temple for a few more days before heading to the Aegean Sea, at least until he was done having fun with Xinxia, since there was plenty of time left.

However, the news that evening took everyone in Athens by surprise!

In this Internet Age, any news could easily spread across a country within two hours, as long as it was shocking enough!

Everyone, we just received an update from a reliable source that Green Sprouts Island to the west of Crete has totally disappeared from human territory, Poseidon, one of the twelve knights reported sternly.

Disappeared from human territory...

Normally, they would only lose their territory to the invasion of demon creatures, but saying that a place had completely disappeared? The term was rarely used in the past hundred years.

Everyone remained silent. Many had heard the news from their phones, but it was shocking to hear it from an authoritative figure like Poseidon!

Did it really disappear, just like that?

The land on Green Sprouts Island was rich in nutrients. Its olive trees were of the highest quality in the world. The olive oil it produced was usually reserved for the royal families in Europe!

The town on the island was surrounded by olive trees, and quite beautiful. It housed a lot of locals from Crete, but it had now disappeared, along with the areas close to the sea.

Were the Tyrant Titans behind it? a Golden Sun Knight asked.

Yes, Poseidon confirmed.

Damn it!

Those devils. Why cant they spare our civilians? They are clearly declaring war against us!

The knights were enraged like erupted volcanoes. The Hall of Knights was soon filled with their declarations for war!

Mo Fan did not think things would turn out like this so suddenly.

If it was a war, shouldnt there be a boundary with the enemy on one side and them on the other? The enemy would have to cross the boundary to reach their city, yet something so disastrous had already happened before the two sides even engaged one another.

I think thats why our country insists on setting up the headquarters cities. Every country has so many cities to look after across its territory. Its impossible to guarantee the safety of every mountain, forest, island, village, town, and city, even when the Mages have gathered at the frontline, Mu Bai commented.

Do we really have to go to war? Its already at the level where an island could disappear in an instant. We might die at any second if we go! Zhao Manyan said hesitantly.

Ive already given my promise. Its not like we can quit now. I just didnt expect things would escalate so quickly, Mo Fan replied honestly.

Yeah, the Parthenon Temple usually can succor the victims, but I believe they are feeling hopeless after what happened, too. They didnt even have a chance to save the civilians, or heal the wounded, Mu Bai agreed.

They traveled along the coastline and soon arrived at Crete.

Green Sprouts Island was to the west of Crete. Crete itself was shaped like a comb. It was located to the south of Greece, but the head of the comb was now gone. Only a few broken pieces of it remained, like an island that had exploded. Some pieces were still on the surface, while the rest had sunk into the ocean.

The Tyrant Titan was already gone by the time they reached the venue of the incident.

The Tyrant Titans are terrifying not only because they possess destructive power with their mountainous bodies, but because its difficult to track them down. They might suddenly poke their heads above a mountain close to the city when the sun is up in the sky and look down at us like we are mere toys. They might also appear during a pitch-black night. Everyone would assume it is only a normal earthquake until the streets are destroyed and the buildings collapse. It might even happen in the afternoon when we lower our guard. Their massive figures suddenly appear in our view, even when the sentries are watching the sea at all times... Poseidon told the others behind him.

The group who came with Poseidon to investigate the incident consisted of seven Golden Sun Knights, fifty Silver Moon Knights, and three Muses.

Commander, we have only found a single footprint so far. Its fifty meters long and seventeen meters wide. I believe this titan is taller than the lighthouse in Athens. We still cant identify its level, a Golden Sun Knight reported.

Cant we determine its level through its height? Mo Fan asked.

Tuis, who had been silent most of the time, spoke as if he was purposely trying to pick on Mo Fan, How naive can you be? A Tyrant Titans height and size arent proportional to its level. Even a Blue Star Tyrant Titan might be as tall as a skyscraper, and a Golden Sun Tyrant Tian might be around the height of a tree if its in a bad environment.

Yes, we can only learn its height from the footprint, but theres one thing we are sure of: the bigger their size, the greater their physical strength! Poseidon also answered.

Those who are here are experienced Knights, Muses, and Hunters. Im afraid outsiders like you couldnt even find the shadows of the Tyrant Titans, let alone hunt them! Tuis scoffed.

The one responsible for butchering Green Sprouts City is good at hiding. It wont be easy to track it down, Poseidon said with a worried face.

The Tyrant Titans never showed any signs before they appeared. They might even walk around your house a few times and smash your neighbors houses into pieces, but they were always able to conceal their presence.

It was a very strange phenomenon. They still did not understand how the Tyrant Titans were so good at hiding their massive bodies and loud footsteps.

Please check the surroundings thoroughly and see if we can find any clues, Poseidon told the others.

The Knights went their separate ways. Green Sprouts Island was not small and the Tyrant Titans could easily raze the residential areas to the ground, so it was not easy for them to search for clues. It also had many mountains and small islands around it.

Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai were naturally together. None of the Knights were willing to team up with Mo Fan. They were holding a grudge against him after he challenged an entire class of Blue Star Knights, and he had offended the Tuis, too. The three had no choice but to rely on themselves.

Look, theres a pile of clothes over there, Zhao Manyan pointed at a pool of mud.

Clothes? Why do I feel like its a person? Mo Fan said.

I think they are just clothes. They are just squashed.

I think its a human. Whoever it is is just skinny.

I bet its just some clothes.

I bet...

Will you die if you go closer to check it out? Mu Bai sighed.
