In the sky, several blood relatives gathered around him.
The red dragon Samantha was the first to rush forward. Her wings slightly expanded and closed in excitement, her tail tip swayed uncontrollably from side to side, and her eyes were full of excitement and admiration.
She flew around Garos for a small half circle and finally stopped on his right side.
"Garos, my dear brother, your gesture just now...
She said excitedly, "It's that sacred and majestic posture that covers the sky and the sun. It's so awesome! Haha, even Saint Realm was easily killed by your claw, just like crushing an insect!"
As she spoke, she circled around again, wagging her tail even more cheerfully.
"Holden Floating City has not yet settled the accounts for what they did to us. Not to mention Cantum. Gnawbone Saint is just the first one. Red Tide Saint is still hiding in Theresia. After knowing the news, he will definitely hide in their temple and dare not come out."
"The left claw exploded Holden, and the right claw crushed Cantum!"
"Haha, we Aura are invincible!"
The red dragon laughed extremely arrogantly, without any restraint in his laughter.
She thought Garos would become very strong after waking up, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful.
He jumped to the top of Material Plane, unrivaled.
Bernardo?
Passed!
The whole planet will be theirs.
Samantha's mind has begun to imagine the expressions of those once arrogant forces after learning that Gnawbone Saint was crushed to pieces by a claw.
Holden's center will have a meeting overnight, Cantum Saint Realm will probably panic.
Thinking of this, the tip of her tail almost reached the sky.
"If Nausir is ignorant, just sneeze and destroy Nausir."
Iron Dragon Gordon chuckled and continued, "The entire Bernardo should surrender under our dragon wings. Let them all see what is real power and what is a real dragon."
As he spoke, his tail couldn't help but sway from side to side.
The feeling of lying down and winning is really wonderful.
Different from the excitement of the two blood relatives, Red Iron Dragon slowly shook his head.
"It's not that simple."
"Things are not as simple as they seem."
he said.
The voice returned to its usual low tone, and was no longer the majestic voice when the thousand-meter giant god announced his doctrine just now.
Next to him, Sorog has been looking at Garos, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Your state just now... is like the Ascension to Godhood described in the inheritance, Ascension to Godhood due to faith."
"Is there something wrong here?"
he asked.
As the calmest and best thinking among his blood relatives, he noticed something unusual about Garos from the moment he left Ascension to Godhood's state.
Garos looked at Iron Dragon Sorog and nodded solemnly. "It's very problematic."
Faith is not a simple force.
It carries the will, expectation, emotion and desire poured into it by every believer when they pray, like water droplets in a river, gathering into a torrent, enveloping everything.
Garos recalled the feeling just now and said slowly, "The moment I accepted my faith, countless voices drowned me. They appeared directly in my consciousness, and they all told me what they wanted me to be."
"The victor who survives a hundred battles, the Emperor who returns to glory, the patron saint who protects Aura."
"They are sincere, and every sound is sincere, but it is this sincerity that makes them irresistible."
Garos's eyes showed fear.
This expression rarely appears on his face.
"In the vast ocean of gathering beliefs, I feel like a lonely boat, and the gathered will is like a wave, hugging me and pushing me, making me drift in the direction they want involuntarily."
Aura's People knows how much he admires him.
That was obtained with countless victories, and it was the trust and dependence that surged out of every Aura's People's heart when they saw his figure when they looked up at the sky in times of crisis.
Unknowingly, this admiration has reached the level of belief.
The key is that Aura Kingdom now dominates the entire Atlant, and its scale is already quite large.
The faith born from the Aura Kingdom is also so powerful that it is difficult for him to control it.
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."
Iron Dragon Sorog whispered.
"Faith is never a free lunch, it has corresponding disadvantages. All Dragonkin inheritances who have come into contact with the Divinity field have similar warnings."
Iron Dragon paused and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Garos narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful, but did not answer directly.
The feeling just now still remains in my heart.
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun, destroying Saint Realm was like crushing ants. Thinking back on it at this moment, it still made his blood drain.
However, it is too dangerous.
It was just Ascension to Godhood that was short-lived. Even if it has returned to normal now, Garos is still affected.
He was keenly aware of his own transformation.
For example, I can't help but want to think about Aura's People, respond to their expectations, become what they want, bring them countless Victory and Glory, etc.
If Ascension to Godhood lasts longer, the consequences will be unpredictable.
His consciousness may be completely overwhelmed by the torrent of faith, and his self-will will melt away in the expectations of believers.
In the end, he may become a perfect god that meets the expectations of all believers.
But it is unknown whether that god is still Garos.
Fortunately, Garos's will is strong enough, otherwise, he would most likely be immersed in the feeling of power of Ascension to Godhood, immersed in the trust of countless believers, and unable to extricate himself.
"Can I adapt to the influence of my faith?"
He pondered this question in his mind.
Then he slowly shook his head.
I'm afraid not.
All along, what Garos is least afraid of is the continuous negative impact, because he can gradually adapt to it and turn it into his own strong foundation.
Whether it's a curse, poison, or some other form of negative effect.
As long as he is given enough time, he can always adapt to it, and even if he is not completely immune, he can still minimize the impact.
But accordingly.
The violent impact like a frenzy is what he needs to be most vigilant about.
Such is the influence of faith.
It was so intense that it didn't give Garos any time to adapt. It poured in like a flood that broke a bank, drowning consciousness in an instant. There was no gradual process.
"The reason is that the intensity of faith exceeds my current level of life."
"If I have Immortal Realm, it will be less intense and I can gradually adapt to it."
he thought to himself.
The territory of the Aura Kingdom has long exceeded the limit that a Destiny Rank should control.
The scale and purity of the faith born in this country have reached a level that can only be tolerated by the Demigod level.
Demigod is also a god, a real god, not a fake Divine Authority that relies on gods for charity.
Theoretically, Demigod is located at the bottom of Divine Pyramid, on the same level as the god Saint Realm, but in essence, it is not comparable to the so-called Saint Realm, which relies on charity from the gods to Divine Authority.
Saint Realm and Divine Authority are borrowed, given by God, and may be taken back at any time.
Divine Authority from Demigod is completely your own.
The properties of Garos Second Shining itself have reached Immortal-tier.
The two were superimposed together, allowing him to kill Gnawbone Saint with one claw.
"If I choose Ascension to Godhood, after my Divine Authority is completely condensed, it should be Victory and Glory, which is a relatively powerful Divine Authority."
In Ascension to Godhood state, he has already declared his title.
Lord of Victory and Glory.
It represents Aura's People's expectations for him.
Unfortunately, for him now, Ascension to Godhood is too dangerous and completely uncontrollable.
Garos was thoughtful and gradually made a decision in his heart.
He looked at several blood relatives.
"Aura exists because of me, not me because of Aura."
"Until I can control this power, I will not use it unless absolutely necessary."
Hearing this, the red dragon blinked.
On the one hand, she feels that there is nothing wrong with ruling the world as Deity.
She just hopes that her brother will stand on top of the world, make all things surrender under his wings, and accept the worship and fear of all races.
And she can also be by his side, sharing the glory.
Just thinking about this sight made her excited.
But on the other hand, she respects Garos's own ideas more.
He always knew what he was doing and his judgment never went wrong.
Samantha said seriously, "I believe that even without faith, there are not many creatures on this planet that can compete with you."
Garos is not as optimistic as Red Dragon.
After playing against Gnawbone Saint, he has become much clearer about his positioning.
Without Ascension to Godhood, if the condition is intact, he and Orc Saint Realm will probably be equally matched.
It may be possible to defeat it and suppress the opponent's Divine Authority and power, but it is extremely difficult to kill.
"When I was at level 20, I was able to kill the human Legendary Realm in a head-to-head confrontation. When I faced the Legendary Realm dragon, I experienced a narrow escape from death."
"My Life Level is now 35, which is not the limit of the Legendary Realm."
"Perhaps I have to reach 38 or 39 before I can kill a Orc Saint Realm 100% like before. Only the Immortal-tier dragon can put me in danger."
Garos is thinking about these.
He does not guarantee that his judgment is correct, because he often underestimates himself a little, so that he can be more cautious and have more error tolerance when facing risks.
This is a habit he has developed over the years and is one of the reasons why he is still alive today.
If anyone knew his inner thoughts, they might be speechless.
A Legendary Realm, thinking about when will he be able to kill a Saint Realm 100%, and on the premise that he often underestimates himself?
Who can believe this.
However, if you look at Garos's past, you will know that he is not arrogant, but just seeking truth from facts.
At this time, Iron Dragon Sorog said, "Now Aura's People, I respect you like a god."
"Need to intervene?"
Garos tapped his chin and said seriously, "Intervene appropriately and let every Aura's People know clearly that I am their emperor, but not a god."
Faith is not something that can be rejected casually.
Once it is generated, it will continue to gather together, just like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
He relied on his extraordinary will to escape from the Ascension to Godhood state.
But even so, the steady stream of faith will still change his mind subtly. Changes like this are not so drastic. He may be able to adapt, but there is no guarantee.
"I need time."
Garos thought to himself.
He needs time to adapt to the influence of faith and find a way to utilize the power of faith without being changed by it. This may be a long process.
As for now, he chooses to be cautious first.
Iron Dragon Gordon said, "I will be responsible for this matter."
Garos nodded, and then asked, "During my sleep, did you create something that made my sleep time faster?"
Several blood relatives were slightly startled and looked at each other.
"Isn't it because of Greenwild Queen?"
Samantha tilted his head and said doubtfully.
They believe that Garos woke up early this time because Greenwild Queen went one step further in shortening the sleep time.
But actually, that's not the case.
Garos The scales between his forehead are slightly wrinkled.
His condition is very strange.
Although he has actually reached Destiny Rank, in Garos's age perception, he seems to have passed more than two hundred years directly, and his actual age has reached the Venerable Dragon stage of over six hundred years old, instead of just sleeping for thirty years.
But if it is really more than two hundred years ago, his Life Level should be more than 35.
This is an obvious contradiction.
His actual age perception does not match the actual Life Level, which means that something interferes with his perception, or interferes with the time flowing through him.
Garos has fought against opponents who have mastered time skills.
He is familiar with this feeling.
Someone must have used time skills on him.
Is it Gold Dragon King Odhos?
The existence of the time system is mysterious and rare, and only very few lives have touched this realm.
In Bernardo, there are only a handful of known time systems that can affect him and may be used on him. After Garos thought about it carefully, he could only think of Gold Dragon King.
"When you have time, go to the Radiant Dragon Realm."
Garos thought to himself.
He needs to figure this out.
At the same time, Iron Dragon Gordon said, "My dear brother, since you will not rule the world as a god for the time being, at least, we have to celebrate it."
There was a smile in his voice again, and his tail began to wag from side to side again.
He likes to hold banquets the most.
He could eat and drink happily at every banquet.
Garos did not disappoint.
He knew that his blood relatives had been guarding Aura and his territory all these years while he was sleeping. They deserved a grand celebration.
"Yes, there will be a feast to celebrate my awakening and breakthrough."
He thought for a moment and then said, "It's not just limited to Aura. I'm sending invitations to the monarchs of Atlant's surface countries and telling them that Aura Emperor is personally inviting them to the banquet. I want to announce something important."
Samantha asked, "What happened?"
Red Iron Dragon smiled slightly, his expression became majestic.
"For today's Aura, the name of the kingdom no longer lives up to its reality."
"Our territory covers the entire Atlant, our power is superior to all forces, and our people are countless. The title of kingdom is an underestimation of our strength and a failure to respond to Aura's People's expectations.
F
His self-light swept over several blood relatives and said, "It is time to announce to the world that Sacred Aura Empire, Bernardo, the first Dragon Empire in history, will be born under our wings."
Several blood relatives were very happy.
They have long wanted to get rid of the title of Kingdom. This title is too restrictive and completely unworthy of their current status.
Every time when I hear foreign envoys call Aura a kingdom, Samantha wants to slap it with my paw and let them take a closer look. Why is a force with such territory and power called a kingdom?
However, while being happy, Sorog was keenly aware that the previous Ascension to Godhood must have had an impact on Garos.
Normal Garos doesn't care about such false names.
He pays more attention to actual power and interests rather than a change of name. Whether it is a kingdom or an empire, as long as the power is sufficient, it does not matter what name it is called.
Aura is Aura, and its power will not increase or decrease due to the change of its name.
But this time, he took the initiative to change the kingdom into an empire.
This is a bit abnormal.
Sorog suddenly asked, "Why do you have this idea?"
Garos answered directly without hesitation, "Because this is what Aura's Peoples want. As their emperor, I should make them get what they want. This is what they deserve."
As soon as he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes.
Garos also realized that this was the influence Ascension to Godhood had on him.
The expectation contained in his faith still remains in his heart, affecting his decision-making and judgment.
"If something similar happens, remember to remind me."
He said to Sorog.
Iron Dragon nodded solemnly. "Yes, I will. Every time your decision-making shows signs of deviating from the norm, I will remind you immediately and ask about the motivation for your decision-making."
Then he paused and asked, "Do you want to announce it again?"
Garos thought for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Do as you just said."
he said.
The change of name is not the point. It does not matter whether it is influenced by his faith. Since he has already decided, he does not want to change it anymore.
Soon after, Garos returned to Dragon Court.
This body is severely deficient and needs to be replenished.
Garos stayed in the treasure house and began to feast.
He took the precious treasures that other dragons were reluctant to eat as food and swallowed them piece by piece.
At the same time, he began to carefully summarize the feature changes after Destiny Rank.
Under normal circumstances, when a Legendary Realm reaches Destiny Rank, the characteristics created before will begin to merge and change qualitatively, with the quantity reduced and the quality improved.
But Garos is a little different.
On the one hand, his characteristics are indeed integrating and changing qualitatively, but on the other hand, their quantity has also increased.
Giant Slayer.
You often face opponents with a higher Life Level and win every time. When you attack an opponent with a higher Life Level, you have a greater chance of breaking through their defense and causing more damage.
Dragon Succubus.
You are a rare anomaly among Dragonkin, with an irresistible attraction flowing in your blood. When you talk to Dragonkin, it is easier to gain Dragonkin's favor and trust. It is easier to gather many Dragonkin around you, regardless of gender, age, or race.
These two characteristics.
The former gives Garos more confidence to compete with the Saint Realm or Immortal Realm. As for the latter...
Frankly speaking, Garos never expected that such a strong and powerful self would have such a sociable characteristic.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.
The so-called characteristics are a summary of the past.
Because Garos is powerful, he condenses and shapes these characteristics, not because he has these characteristics.
He did attract many Dragonkin unknowingly.
In addition to these two characteristics, the most critical one is the third one.
Mutant Body.
You can display different mutated forms more than once. You can retain up to three mutated forms at the same time and quickly perform mutated transformations during battle.
After each transformation, you can temporarily inherit some attributes of the previous transformed form.
Each mutation will put a load on your body. The higher your body strength, the more mutations you can perform in one battle.
"The characteristics related to form changes in Tear of Immortality were absorbed by me."
"Mutant Body, with this feature, the originally uncontrollable mutations have become controllable to a certain extent."
Garos is quite satisfied with this.
In the battle with Gnawbone Saint, the effect of Mutant Body was not exerted.
Because he had just woken up from a deep sleep, there was a problem with time. His basic state at that time was too poor, and he could not withstand several mutation transformations, nor could he develop many strong attributes.
Finally, in order to end the battle quickly, I chose Ascension to Godhood.
If it were in its prime, the situation would be completely different.
As long as Garos cannot be killed quickly, he will make himself powerful to the point of despair through repeated mutations and evolutionary characteristics.
Moreover, Garos also has the characteristics of Undying Life.
This is doomed. Unless the gap with the enemy is so big that no one can kill him quickly, they can only watch him getting stronger and stronger.
In addition, what worries Garos the most is that his evolutionary characteristics have finally made a leap.
Ever-Battling, Ever-Advancing This feature is gone.
Also disappearing together are basic numerical properties such as Colossal Strength, Superspeed, smart, Advanced Physical Immunity, Advanced Magical Immunity, etc.
Instead, it is a completely new feature.
Battle Dragon.
Born to fight, born to evolve.
Your body has attributes that far exceed those of the same level Dragonkin. It is indestructible and indestructible.
You can perform Adaptive Evolution in battle. In addition to the adaptive improvement of attributes, your body structure will also undergo temporary adaptive changes whenever enough damage is accumulated.
"Battle Dragon, Mutant Body, Giant Slayer."
"These three new features will give me the confidence to compete with the Immortal Realm or Saint Realm."
Garos whispers.
At the Immortal Realm and Saint Realm stage, Divine Power or Divine Authority, which control further qualitative changes, are no longer comparable in performance.
However, I can't help but think that Garos has so many powerful features.
Rebirth at Death's Door, Undying Life, Battle Dragon, Mutant Body... take out these characteristics, and each of them can be regarded as the core characteristics of other Destiny Rank, but when placed on it, it is just one of many characteristics.
When these characteristics are added together, the result is comparable to the Immortal Realm.
Red Iron Dragon raised his paws and rubbed his chest.
No one noticed that in addition to the change in characteristics, there was a structure similar to a multi-layered gem crystal in the center of his chest, hidden under the dragon scales.
This is a new characteristic of his Adaptive Evolution.
It is closely related to the two major features Mutant Body and Battle Dragon.
In other words, these two characteristics exist because of this.
It is the anchor point of Garos.
Without this structure, his body would be deformed and collapsed after multiple rapid morphological changes, making it impossible to recover.
The change in body shape is not a simple deformation, but also completely different from the fighting states such as Azure Star Form and Shining Form.
It involves the rearrangement of body structure, the redistribution of energy, and even the adjustment of the soul level.
Without the stability of an anchor, these changes will cause confusion in self-perception and lead to irreversible collapse.
This anchor point can ensure that he can still maintain his integrity after countless changes.
Garos Every change in the body will also be recorded by it.
Detailed information about the mutated form is stored inside.
Moreover, when it becomes shiny, it is accumulated enough to be able to perform Adaptive Evolution in battle.
