Chapter 2: The Titan Father and the Golden Dragon Mother (Edited)

"Muria Iapetos Elonsas."

Involuntarily, Joseph's mouth opened, uttering a series of extremely difficult-to-pronounce words.

Then, Joseph blinked slightly, and without needing anyone to explain, he naturally understood what he had said: "This is my true name."

As Joseph uttered his true name, two vast and boundless inheritances of knowledge poured into his mind, belonging to the dragons and titans, the two top races of the world.

A massive amount of knowledge flooded into Joseph's mind, making his head ache, and his little face twisted in pain, but this pain only lasted for a very short time before disappearing.

"The initial inheritance of dragons and titans, I finally endured it to the end." Joseph exhaled with lingering fear. He had no doubt that if he continued to receive the inheritance of knowledge, his brain would explode, and even if he didn't die, he would become an idiot.

But fortunately, the inheritance of knowledge from dragons and titans is segmented, not crammed in all at once, but unlocked step by step as one ages and strengthens.

Otherwise, whether it's titan infants or dragon hatchlings, receiving all the racial inheritance knowledge at birth would only lead to their brains bursting, the only outcome for such powerful creatures at birth is extremely fragile.

The powerful beings who left behind the inheritance of knowledge for their descendants did so to make their offspring stronger and live better lives, not to murder them with a massive amount of knowledge.

"This is a titan, my father." Joseph looked at the black-haired golden-eyed "man" standing before him, bowing his head to look at him. The inheritance of knowledge he had just received quickly helped Joseph understand the identity of the golden beast and the tall figure not inferior to the beast standing before him.

"Golden dragon, my mother." Joseph's gaze moved to the golden dragon looking at him with great interest. The tangible golden dragon's aura enveloped the golden and magnificent hall, emitting a terrifying pressure, but this strong pressure did not make Joseph feel any oppression. Instead, he felt a sense of bloodline closeness.

"My father is a titan, and my mother is actually a dragon. This is a cross-species forbidden love, and I am the crystallization of their love. This situation is a bit complicated."

Understanding the relationship between himself and the titan and golden dragon standing before him, Joseph's thoughts became a bit messy. He finally figured out what he was: a super hybrid creature of titan and dragon.

He thought a lot in his mind, but in reality, only a moment had passed. Not allowing Joseph to think too much, his body, almost exhausted from breaking out of the shell, began to signal his brain the need to replenish energy.

The spirit, already tormented by the inheritance of knowledge, felt an intense hunger that almost drove Joseph mad.

Joseph's eyes, seemingly emitting green light, scanned his surroundings. He was in a room that could be described as vast, and everything in the room shone brilliantly, as if the building he was in was constructed of various colored crystals. He was in the concave center of a purple-black crystal platform.

Looking around, everything was sparkling with crystal light, exuding an aura of extreme luxury. If not for his frantic hunger, Joseph would definitely appreciate it. But now, all he could think of was food.

"Eat, eat, where's the food?" Joseph murmured in dragon language, then he smelled a tempting scent.

He flared his nostrils, following the scent that made him secrete more gastric acid. Finally, Joseph's gaze settled on the golden eggshells beneath him, still covered in transparent egg fluid.

The tempting scent was coming from there; it was the smell of food. Joseph hesitated only for a moment before extending his chubby little hand, picking up a piece of eggshell with egg fluid, and stuffing it into his mouth.

In an extreme state of hunger, people can eat anything, from grass roots and tree bark to even cannibalism. So, what's an eggshell in comparison? Although Joseph was no longer human, he was still a humanoid creature.

"Crunch!" The eggshell broke with a crisp sound. Joseph's eyes lit up. Contrary to his expectations, the metallic-textured eggshell felt like chips from his previous life under his teeth, with a perfectly sweet taste and no fishiness at all.

Then, Joseph sat kneeling in the concave center of the purple-black crystal platform, using both hands to pick up pieces of eggshell and stuff them into his mouth. "Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!" The sound of eggshells being chewed echoed in the vast room.

The golden dragon mother watched her son break out of the shell and have his first meal with tender eyes. Watching Joseph eat, the soft, drooping golden dragon wings on his back began to slowly stretch and open. The pale golden, initially somewhat soft dragon scales on his back darkened in color and gradually hardened as Joseph continued to eat.

Watching this scene, the golden dragon mother's face became even more tender, her joy unabashed, while the black-haired golden-eyed titan had a different expression, his brows furrowed, forming a "川" shape, not looking too pleased.

Titan infants do not have the precedent of eating eggshells after birth. Titans are viviparous, unlike the egg-laying dragon race. After birth, they eat meat directly, not eggshells.

If not for the fact that his son indeed possesses half of the dragon race's bloodline and that eating the eggshell brought about positive changes in his body, he could hardly bear this scene.

While the parents showed completely different expressions, Joseph didn't notice at all; his attention was entirely on the eggshells.

Whether as titans or as top predators, both possess a terrifying digestive ability. Joseph, who inherits blood from both races, naturally has an even more terrifying digestive ability.

Joseph could feel that after he chewed and swallowed the eggshells, they were immediately digested, breaking down into nutrients needed by his body, almost without any waste. The effect was immediate.

His strength quickly recovered. When the feeling of weakness disappeared, Joseph could clearly sense that as he continued to eat, his body was growing slowly but surely, and his strength was gradually increasing.

The sides of his forehead swelled as if something was extending, his wings gradually stretched out, and his tail swung more powerfully. The strong force generated in the air made a slight "whoosh" sound, and when it hit the purple-black crystal platform, it produced a muffled "thump" sound.

...After stuffing the last piece of eggshell into his mouth, Joseph was surprised to find that the hunger in his belly had not disappeared, although it had lessened significantly. Considering the amount of eggshell he had swallowed, it was enough to wrap him entirely.

Joseph propped himself up on the crystal platform, then, with his legs exerting force, his bones, which had been strengthened after his first meal, were now strong enough to support Joseph's weight. Thus, under the watchful eyes of the titan and the golden dragon, the small figure with wings stood up shakily, touching his flat belly, and uttered his second word since coming into the world.

"Daddy, I'm hungry!"

Joseph stood tremblingly, speaking to his father in the titan language with a milky voice.

The originally furrowed-brow titan, upon hearing this shout, immediately smiled broadly. He extended his right hand, and a piece of meat the size of his palm appeared in his hand, gently placed next to his son.

In Joseph's eyes, a meat mountain appeared in his father's hand, then this meat mountain was tossed next to him by his titan dad. The huge meat mountain fell, generating a strong shockwave and a huge vibration, directly flipping him over.

Joseph sat dumbfounded on the purple-black stone platform, looking up at the meat mountain still emitting heat in front of him, then looked up at his father, who was full of expectation, twitched his face, and bit his teeth, standing up again and walking towards the meat mountain.

This meat mountain was obtained by him playing cute and begging his father. Even if he cried, he had to eat it all. Joseph was filled with grief and indignation; he just wanted to act cute using the titan language he had just learned from the titan's inheritance knowledge to beg for some food, never expecting this outcome.

"My dad, how much do you think I can eat? Do you want to stuff me to death by throwing a meat mountain?" Joseph muttered to himself while biting into the meat.

"Don't say it, this meat, really fragrant, really delicious." After a few bites, Joseph sincerely praised.

A few hours later, "Burp!" Joseph let out a loud belch, lying in the gap he had eaten in the meat mountain, his belly noticeably bulged.

He didn't care about his parents who had been watching him eat for hours, closed his eyes, and started to snore heavily. He was truly at his limit, unable to continue, and his body also demanded necessary sleep. After all, he had just been born.

In the following days, Joseph lived the life he had dreamt of in his previous life: eat until full, sleep until satiated, and continue to sleep after eating...

Such a decadent and corrupt life satisfied Joseph, and the only thing that surprised him was his terrifying appetite. Every meal, he ate an amount equivalent to five to seven times his body volume.

This terrifying appetite initially made Joseph somewhat uneasy. Later, under the indifferent gaze of his golden dragon mother, Joseph guessed that for dragons, or titans, such a terrifying appetite should be quite normal.

Maintaining this terrifying three meals a day, what followed was the rapid growth of Joseph's body size. He seemed to grow differently every day, endlessly increasing in size.
