Cooperating with the Dragon of Imagination
Deep within Groselle's Travels, in the "Hall of Truth" of the City of Miracles.
Luther was stunned as he stared at the enormous Dragon, which had materialized into a magnificent form and was holding Quill.
What happened?
Has the "Dragon of Imagination," Ankewelt, been resurrected?
The Dragon lowered its neck slightly, looking down at the tiny human beneath its feet. A playful glint shone in its golden eyes, as if it wanted to know how Luther would react after facing the Ancient God.
Wrong.
Impossible.
0-08 never fully came into contact with * The Groselle's Travels *, and was later taken away by Adam. Ankewelt lacked the foundation for resurrection... At most, contact between the two triggered some memories and a partial awakening of Consciousness, constructing a phantom form... That Quill couldn't possibly be the real 0-08 either...
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Luther quickly regained his composure.
He smiled gently at the illusory Dragon, and then said:
"Adam is ready for the ascension Ritual, and the Quill of Alzuhod has probably been made into Potion. It's estimated that when the time is right, he can ascend to the rank of 'Visionary.'"
Luther chose the topic that would most likely strike at the other party's weak spot, the topic that would most likely make them lose their composure. "!!"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the illusory Dragon's eyes changed immediately. Its pupils shrank to a vertical line, and it stared at Luther with an unfriendly expression.
The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly, and a terrifying pressure began to build.
Ankewelt seemed extremely angry; as Ancient God, to be threatened by a mere human... But it's hard to say. He was, after all, an "Spectator" Pathway; perhaps his actions were all an act, simply to complement my words...
Luther wondered to himself.
He met the Dragon's gaze without fear, and even took a step toward it.
"Whoosh..."
The Tide within his body was automatically activated, as if echoing something behind the chained Bronze Gate beneath the hall.
"Boom!!"
The hall suddenly shook violently, as if struck by a powerful Earthquake. The stone pillars beneath the illusory Dragon, closest to the Bronze Gate, trembled even more violently, shaking up and down with astonishing amplitude!
The stone pillars also affected Ankewelt.
His posture, which had been quite comfortable, was suddenly jolted off the stone pillar, nearly causing him to fall. The illusory Dragon hastily spread his wings to regain his balance, gripping the pillar with his limbs to stabilize himself. Luna had clung to the crate in the same way when she encountered a storm on the ship...
Luther thought to himself, and stopped in his tracks.
"Shall we continue?"
He asked provocatively.
"..."
The illusory Dragon gave him a deep look, adjusted its posture, and sat back on its Throne. But this time, its eyes no longer held the obvious hostility they had before.
But He remained silent.
Why isn't it talking to me? Are the Ancient God really this Pride...? Wait, could it be that it can't speak...? After all, it hasn't been resurrected yet...
Luther wondered to himself.
To verify his idea, he spoke again:
"You've been listening to our conversation, right...? So, what do you think of those guesses? Are Badheil and Omebella the current God of Combat and Earth Mother Goddess?"
The other party was Ancient God from a bygone era, and might know some of the secrets. The Dragon adjusted its posture, offering no comment on Luther's answer. It simply looked at Luther, showing no hostility, but also no intention of making any move to befriend him.
"... Do you not want to answer, or do you not know the answer?"
Luther continued to ask.
The Dragon lay down, yawned boredly, turned its face away from Luther, rested its head on its crossed forepaws, and slowly closed its eyes.
He seemed to have no intention of paying attention to Luther anymore.
"Why are you asleep? Haven't you had enough sleep after sleeping in your diary for so long?"
"While you were asleep, the entire continent changed..."
"Let's talk. Don't be so reserved."
Seeing this, Luther chuckled and said, "I came to see you today to discuss cooperation... We have some common enemies that we can rationally confront together, for example, Adam?"
Yes, he was wary of Adam.
Luther always felt that the eldest son of the Creator's attitude towards him was somewhat strange. Although it wasn't the intense malice of the True Creator, it wasn't exactly kind either; he was just quietly observing, as if waiting for a suitable opportunity.
This ambiguous attitude made him sense danger. Luther was pleased to see the Dragon's eyelids twitch suddenly, and then it finally opened its eyes. It stared silently at Luther, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
"Adam's father is your enemy, so he probably wouldn't be so kind as to Imagination a Sequence 1 Characteristic just to save you, right?"
He questioned in a soft voice.
The "Visionary's " authority is unique, being the only one that can exist simultaneously with Sequence 1 0 the same Pathway, just like Ankewelt and his son, "Nightmare Dragon" Alzuhorn.
"Furthermore, if Adam truly minds your existence, to prevent any potential problems, He might come and destroy Groselle's Travels and your remaining will, completely extinguishing your hope of resurrection."
Luther threatened.
He paused, then said, "And I happen to have some conflicts with Him... If we ever encounter Him, perhaps we can join forces and rebel."
So, what are your thoughts on this?
He said to Ankewelt.
According to ancient Record from City of Silver, the "Dragon of Imagination" is a cunning and unpredictable god, but Luther does not intend to fully trust Him; at most, they will only use each other.
The Dragon suddenly began to move.
"Swish, swish..." Please remember the only website address for this novel: www. deqixs. org. The website owner has only this one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.
Then, He gently picked up the small, Classical Quill with His large claws and wrote a line of glowing words in front of Him, in the air above:
"The God of Combat you're talking about is indeed the Badheil I know."
In the Real World, at the Meager Manor.
"Buzz!"
Klein noticed that the copy of Groselle's Travels on the table suddenly began to tremble, then emitted a strange light. The light shone on the seat opposite him, and soon, Luther's figure appeared from the light.
Good news.
As soon as he came out, he smiled and said to Klein.
"What good news?"
Klein asked in surprise.
"I just spoke with the Dragon of Imagination," Luther replied. "He's certain that the God of Combat is indeed Badheil." Ankewelt's willingness to share this secret was indeed a gesture of goodwill. The reason he was certain was because when Luther was chasing [Greed] and was summoned to reality, he glanced at the "Twilight Giant Palace" from afar and sensed the aura of the former "God of Dawn."
That makes it even more likely that the Earth Mother Goddess is the Giant Queen Omebella!
