The festival is coming to an end.
The incarnations of the gods have already said goodbye and left one after another. Naitar and Vines did not know when they slipped away. The noisy and lively sea of flowers became quiet again, and only the fragrance of flowers remained fragrant.
There are not many gods left here.
In addition to Garos, there are only Treant kings, Aimentien, Titania, and Oberon.
Oberon put down the wine glass and glanced at the sky.
His pupils reflected the deep twilight that did not exist here.
Oberon frowned slightly, then stood up first and looked at Titania.
"Dusk Domain has been experiencing frequent strange phenomena recently, and the evil things lurking inside are ready to move. I need to keep an eye on it for a while and personally take charge to prevent the attacks of dark fairies."
"I'm afraid I have to say goodbye to this grand ceremony."
He also said goodbye.
Garos was thoughtful as he listened to his words.
Another name for Dusk Domain, Dusk Court, Sorrow-Rage Court.
As for Sorrow-Rage Court, although it is named Royal Court, it is not essentially a Pantheon organization. It is only called Royal Court because people habitually compare it with Joyful Court.
Its Overlord, is Dusk Goddess, Voiddark Queen.
A complete evil god of chaos, who was born together with Titania, and is the sister of Titania. To a certain extent, it can even be said that she is her evil other side, who takes pleasure in killing Faes. The believers under her command are also dark fairies born from negative emotions such as fear, sorrow, and anger.
Fey Wilds sounds like a dream place.
However, there is no shortage of dangers here. The dark fairies are always trying to kill and take away the lives and habitats of normal Fae people.
The first time Garos officially entered Titania's sight was because he protected Verdant Gardens and killed Demon Wraith, a Legendary Realm, and Demon Wraith also belonged to the dark elf.
"These two Royal Court are opposed to each other, but in fact, Joyful Court completely surpasses Sorrow-Rage Court."
"If the records in the inheritance are correct, there is actually a Voiddark Queen in Sorrow-Rage Court, but this evil god of chaos is too difficult to kill. Even if it has been suppressed, he can often make trouble----"
Garos thought to himself.
Faes are already very weak in Material Plane, and they also have to be wary of dark fairies in Fey Wilds.
One of the reasons why Titania attaches great importance to Garos is that she hopes that having a powerful and fierce dragon will at least allow her to not have to worry too much about Material Plane and can focus more on dealing with Voiddark Queen and concentrate on dealing with this dark sister.
Theoretically speaking.
If she can kill Voiddark Queen and eliminate her dark side, her Divinity will be sublimated and she will have a good chance of being promoted to the top high-level god.
Involving Voiddark Queen, the dark elf, Titania's expression is solemn.
"Go Oberon."
She looked far away and said, "I have a hunch that our midsummer season is coming soon. By then, my Divinity will have reached its peak, and I will no longer have to worry about the dark fairies."
Oberon nodded, turned around and strode away, his wild figure disappearing at the end of the sea of flowers.
Garos looked away.
He was a little confused about what Titania just said, and asked, "What does the midsummer season refer to?"
This is a term he heard for the first time. It sounds like Material Plane's summer, but it is definitely not that simple, and it is very important to Titania.
Titania smiled slightly and said, "In Material Plane, summer is the hottest season of life. Similarly, when the stage of Multiverse gradually becomes lively, big events happen frequently, and there are ups and downs, it is the time when midsummer is coming."
What kind of thing can be called a Multiverse-level event.
Garos ponders.
Titania looked at him and said, "After the gods confirmed their dominance, Multiverse has not changed at all for countless tens of thousands of years, and it is as dull as autumn and winter."
"And you, Garos, with Victory and Glory Divine Authority Ascension to Godhood you, have made a ripple appear in this stagnant water."
"Perhaps, you will kick off the midsummer season."
Garos was slightly startled, then stretched out a paw and pointed at himself.
"Me?"
Titania nodded. "Yes, you."
"You may not know that no new gods have been born in these worlds for many years. Moreover, you are not a slave god, and the Divine Authority you have mastered is very powerful. Your Divinity is not strong enough, but your potential is huge."
"At this time, you have entered the field of vision of countless gods or Immortal Realm."
It turns out that I am so powerful, you deserve to be me.
Garos felt a little complacent, but then he realized that this was not a good thing for him----
He shook his head slightly to suppress the chaotic thoughts.
At the same time, he noticed that the god Tree Sprite was smiling gently at him.
This is Treant Sage of Joyful Court, and also has titles such as King Treant. Like Garos, it belongs to Outer Court. The whole looks like a living big tree, with green branches and leaves, moss and vines growing on the bark, and in the center of the trunk, there is an outline similar to a face.
"Aimentien seems to want to say something to you."
Titania said, "It's just that his appearance has a strange sense of time and he speaks very slowly. Please be patient."
Garos Clearly.
He had just communicated with this Treant Sage, so he naturally knew its characteristics.
Red Iron Dragon is not in a hurry, just wait patiently.
Treant King finally spoke slowly and spit out the first word.
"I----"
After saying that, it was time to wait again.
Titania, who just said please be patient, now has no patience anymore.
She waved her little hand.
In an instant, King Treant seemed to be injected with vitality. His huge body was covered with flowers and branches, and there were numerous fruits, as if he had gone through spring, summer, autumn and winter in an instant.
His speaking speed also suddenly became faster.
"On behalf of Sidrien Pantheon, the god of forest and nature, Leaf Lord, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
King Treant's voice was rich, and he finally spoke a complete sentence, saying, "He said that you saved some of his favorite Elf people from suffering."
The Elfs of Nausir.
Garos immediately understood what he was referring to.
After being contaminated by Frenzied Flame, the Nausir Elfs fell out of control and were consumed by rage.
He first controlled Frenzied Flame, and then destroyed the main body of Ten Thousand Ominous Manifestations, completely liberating Nausir Elf and returning them to normal.
Red Iron Dragon thought for a moment and asked, "As far as I know, Elf of Nausir do not believe in gods, but are Leaf Lord of Elf Pantheon paying attention to them?"
Leaf Lord, Elf Pantheon The god of forest and nature, Wood Elf and the protector of wild Elf.
His two most widely circulated faces are the Treant image similar to King Treant, and the other is the Wood Elf face.
"Leaf Lord has a broad mind."
King Treant slowly relayed. "He guides intelligent life and believes in the harmony between all living things and the natural world. There may be Elf who do not believe in him, but in his eyes, these Elf are still his people."
"It's just that, due to the internal creeds and norms among the Elf gods, as well as the many affairs of the gods themselves, he cannot directly do much for the people who do not believe in him."
"You relieved his people and helped him."
Having said this, King Treant's voice paused slightly, and then the branches and leaves began to sway gently.
"Just verbal gratitude is a bit hollow."
"I have a good personal relationship with Leaf Lord. I will give this first gift to him first."
As he spoke, he swayed from among the lush branches and leaves, and an emerald green leaf spun and fell, then floated towards Garos and floated in front of him.
Garos stared intently.
The leaves are crystal clear, with veins as clear as natural runes, and rich vitality visible to the naked eye flowing inside, as if they were made of jade.
"This leaf was born on my canopy. It condenses the essence of my life. It contains rich and pure Life Energy. Carrying it with you can nourish your body, speed up the healing of injuries, or give you a certain supplement when you are in extreme danger."
Treant Wang said.
Garos didn't reach out immediately.
"There is already a friendly relationship between the gods Joyful Court and Elf. Now that I am a member of Joyful Court, I am willing to contribute to this relationship."
He said, "If Leaf Lord wants to thank, then thank Joyful Court."
Treant Wang's expression outline has not changed.
Beside him, Titania's smile grew even stronger after hearing these words.
"Garos, don't refuse the credit that belongs to you, just accept it."
She said, "Besides, according to the relationship between mortal beings, Leaf Lord and our King Treant are almost blood brothers, and they are also closely related to our Joyful Court. This gift is earned by your victory."
Garos no longer shirks and accepts Treant's Leaf.
Elf Pantheon is a huge Pantheon spread across all major planes and Material World. There are two high-level gods, many Intermediate Deity, and a large number of slaves. After stepping onto the Multiverse stage, you will inevitably have to deal with Elf Pantheon in the future.
If you help me, I will also remember to thank you and give you gifts----
Such exchanges are a friendly signal.
Garos naturally doesn't mind establishing a friendly relationship with Elf Pantheon. He has never been someone who makes enemies for himself everywhere.
However, he also had some doubts in his heart.
"Leaf Lord and King Treant, do they still have such a connection? Are they blood relatives?"
Garos asked.
Treant King smiled and shook the crown of the tree, causing the branches and leaves to rub together and make a rustling sound.
"Although we are in different Pantheons and perform our own duties, our roots are connected and we have the same origin."
"And, you know, Father of Nature Sylvanus?"
He slowly said, "Leaf Lord and I have a deep bond with Father of Nature in essence. In a sense, he can be regarded as our father god.
Garos suddenly realized.
Father of Nature, Sylvanus.
A powerful higher deity who represents all animals, all plants, and all natural wilderness.
Moreover, He also has the famous teaching of [Unity of Balance], which views nature with a grand and transcendent vision. For example, in addition to protecting the vitality of all natural things, He will also maintain the material cycle and balance of the entire Multiverse through floods, droughts, heavy rains, flames, withering, etc.
This is definitely an unfathomable being.
No wonder King Treant and Leaf Lord have a relationship similar to that of blood relatives.
Father of Nature is not only the general representative of all things natural, but also the source of all natural gods. Most of the gods related to nature are essentially different aspects extending from the domain of Sylvanus, each in charge of different levels of nature.
"If you have a chance, please say hello to Father of Nature on my behalf."
Garos expresses his kindness.
Father of Nature, the Lord of Balance of All Things, this Greater Deity's position in the lineage of gods is even higher than Titania.
"Yes."
Treant Wang smiled gently, "From the moment you Ascension to Godhood, you have already entered Father of Nature's field of vision.
"Father of Nature, I will remember you."
After this conversation, the god also said goodbye, and his huge body slowly sank under the sea of flowers and disappeared.
Above the sea of flowers, only Garos and Titania were left.
"In the eyes of mortal beings, gods are aloof, transcendent, and uncontaminated by each other."
"It seems that gods only exist in distant legends and prayers."
Titania shook the mini wine glass in his hand and said slowly, "But in fact, different gods, different Divinity, often there is me in you, you in me, entangled with each other, connected with each other, the relationship is intricate, and the influence of one hair affects the whole body."
Garos realized that she was trying to spread some knowledge about gods to herself.
Although Dragon Inheritance is widespread, it is not omnipotent after all.
For example, he was not clear about what Titania said, as well as the specific relationship between Leaf Lord, Treant King, and Father of Nature.
"I understand what you mean."
Garos nodded. "I rarely make unnecessary enemies."
When fighting against the gods, you should not only consider a single god, but also consider the complex relationships behind the gods.
For example Joyful Court.
If you want to deal with one of the gods, you must be prepared to make the entire Joyful Court an enemy.
Of course, not all Pantheon are so united.
For example, Dragon Pantheon--it is almost divided into pieces, each working on its own.
For another example, Beast of Valor, whom Garos provoked before, belongs to Orc Pantheon, which has a very cold and strict structure. The god Orc above him rarely stands up for his subordinates. They will regard the failure of their own god as weakness.
And those who are weak are not worth caring about.
"Unless you can fight to a certain level, just being able to fight won't work if you go out to hang out. You still need some background--
Garos thought to himself.
In comparison, it is much easier to deal with Primordial Wild God and some other Immortal Life.
There is often a lack of deep relationships behind such existences.
If you die, you will die, and you won't involve too many enemies.
"It's no wonder that the gods rule Multiverse. King Treant and Leaf Lord both have natural Divine Authority existence, but there is no need for a life-and-death fight. If you change it to Immortal Life, if you encounter someone with the same Divine Power, you will definitely fight to the death."
Garos is deep in thought.
Gods, Wild God, Immortal One----
At the current level, he must carefully consider their differences, as well as where he should stand, and prepare for a rainy day.
Moreover, if he wants to activate Great Expedition, he will undoubtedly stand on the opposite side of many gods.
There may not be much at first, but as time goes by and as his mastery of Material World increases, there will inevitably be some gods who cannot tolerate him continuing.
But correspondingly, there will also be some gods who just don't care.
For example, Fae gods.
They care about Material Plane, more because there are still many Fae people living in Material Plane, and their status is very low and their situation is worrying. In fact, Joyful Court hopes that all Fae people can move to Fey Wilds. They don't like Material Plane.
Garos chooses to accept the olive branch from Joyful Court.
This is also one of the important reasons.
Joyful Court will not turn against him because of his Great Expedition plan. On the contrary, he can even provide him with support. He can transfer Fae living in Material World to Fey Wilds during the expedition.
Titania seems to have seen some of Garos's ideas.
"Between the faces of the gods, social interaction is still a powerful skill."
She said, "And you, Garos, beings in your position rarely possess such skills. You are quite outstanding in this aspect. You are neither humble nor overbearing. You have a degree of advance and retreat. You know how to release kindness when the time is right, and you also know how to show edge when necessary."
"I believe that in the intricate genealogy of the gods, you can find the position that suits you best."
After saying that, she changed the subject.
"Okay."
"Garos, you seem to still have some questions.
"We are the only ones left here. Just ask and I will answer your questions."
Garos I really have something to ask.
He thought for a moment and said, "I have a blood relative who has been having a dream recently."
"In the dream, there was a Iron Throne----"
He roughly told Iron Throne and some information about the legacy of Ferrous Dragon King.
"We know too little about Ferrous Dragon King. I think you should know something about this Eternal One."
Red Iron Dragon looks at the mini Fae Lord God.
Titania lowered his eyes and his expression became much more solemn.
"Ferrous Dragon King, Garugosingou——This name is already taboo among Dragon Pantheon. However, you do not belong to Dragon Pantheon. Since you want to know, I can tell you something."
"He is also called Supreme Dragon, a Eternal One who rejected his faith."
"Ferrous Dragon people love him, Metal Dragon admire him, and Chromatic Dragon also recognize him, but Bahamut thinks he is stubborn and stubborn, and Tiamat thinks he is stupid and rude----"
Red Iron Dragon became serious and listened quietly to Titania's story.
At the same time.
In a vast void without sky or earth, as far as the eye can see is flowing silver light, as if the dawn has been solidified here Eternal Realm.
Here, it is Astral Realm.
One of the most famous planes among all planes.
In the Astral Realm, time seems to have stopped flowing. Any material life that should have aged and withered with the passage of time, as long as its own spiritual will can still support it, can survive here forever without aging or needing to eat.
Therefore.
There are a lot of beings who will come to the Astral Realm at the end of their lifespan and try to survive through the special environment here.
However, the final ending of this kind of life is often not very happy.
Among the aboriginal people of the Astral Realm, there are many organizations dedicated to beings like Hunt. Some naturally powerful Astral Realm creatures also have extra perception and resistance to this kind of life and will kill them as intruders.
At this time, floating islands were drifting quietly in the void.
It is said that they are mixed with the corpses of long-dead gods. Occasionally, travelers will pass by, dragging a slender silver line behind them and disappear in a flash.
And on one of the huge floating islands.
Palace The building is high and the flags are like a forest.
A majestic red dragon is sitting on the throne at the highest point of the island.
Two pairs of curved dragon horns stand tall, with dark pupils. The thick body is covered with dark red scales, and the scales are covered with dense battle-damaged lines, layer upon layer.
Under the throne, a group of intelligent beings prostrate themselves on the ground, offering worship and tributes cautiously, and the sound of the mountains shouting could not be heard.
The red dragon looked happy, enjoying all this.
suddenly.
The echo that resounded through Multiverse spread to the Astral Realm along the medium of blood, and also spread to his ears.
The red dragon's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Garos·Ignas----"
He chewed on this name in his heart, a trace of doubt first appeared in his vertical pupils, and the scales on his forehead wrinkled slightly.
This name is undoubtedly unfamiliar.
But, Ignas?
He couldn't be more familiar with it.
After a brief thought, the red dragon's pupils narrowed into two thin lines, and his expression changed from doubtful to excited.
He realized what was happening.
Garos·Ignas.
One of his blood descendants in Material Plane.
Or, to be precise, just one of his many bloodline descendants.
After all, he doesn't know exactly how many descendants he has. These descendants have spread out from generation to generation in Material Plane. Maybe many of them died young, but those who survived have also extended many branches.
And now.
One of his descendants is Ascension to Godhood.
The person in charge is still Divine Authority like Victory and Glory.
"Hahahaha!"
The red dragon raised its head and laughed loudly, making the worshipers under the throne tremble.
"As expected of my bloodline, it is indeed extraordinary!"
"In this harsh era, a god was still born in my bloodline!"
The red dragon was very satisfied.
Then, his smile faded and he narrowed his eyes again, savoring some of the information in the echo.
"The most important thing is that this Garos did not join Dragon Pantheon----instead, he mixed with the Fae gods of Joyful Court, which is interesting."
As he spoke, the red dragon slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.
On the scales at the heart, there is a huge claw mark imprinted on it.
Years have passed, but the scars are still hideous, as if they were added yesterday.
The red dragon stared at the claw marks for a moment, his eyes dark and stern.
Once upon a time, when he was still relatively young, although he didn't really believe in Dragon God, he still had some respect for Dragon God.
However...
When he came into contact with a Dragon God with a trying attitude, the gift given to him was this claw mark that almost killed him and was heartbreaking.
Flame and Destruction Dragon God, Karix!
Want to destroy me and conquer me?
Dream!
One day, I will replace you!
Red Dragon Heart roared in his heart, and there seemed to be flames in his eyes, but soon he returned to his leisurely state and focused his thoughts on the present.
"This descendant of mine may have already realized that most Dragon God are not trustworthy."
"But, as a dragon, you join other Pantheon?"
"In Dragon God's eyes, this is a naked betrayal. He will inevitably have to face Dragon God's wrath in the future."
"But this is just right. Maybe we can become allies."
The red dragon rubbed the thorns on his lower jaw, his eyes twinkling.
As a powerful Immortal Dragon, he knows how deep the Dragon Pantheon waters are, and as a Ascension to Godhood er who is connected by his own blood, without joining Dragon Pantheon, he naturally has reason to try to establish contact and forge an alliance.
However, before that, he needed to make sure of one thing.
How much is this descendant worth?
"There are many Pantheons, but, hey, you choose to be with Faes?"
The red dragon sneered.
Fae?
How could these weak guys deserve the dragon's trust? He doubted whether his descendant had enough clear-headed judgment and was tough enough.
Could it be that you felt that you could be second to none among Fae and enjoy the worship of Fae, so you chose to join Joyful Court?
This is the thinking of the weak.
The strong should be with the strong!
"This cruel Multiverse has no free favor."
"You are my Bloodline Descendant. Everything about you comes from me. Your strength and your talents all come from the blood under my scales."
The red dragon grinned, revealing its mouth full of sharp teeth.
"If you are strong and can satisfy me, I will not ask anything from you, but if you are vain, you should think about how to repay the kindness of my bloodline."
The red dragon spread its wings and stood up from the throne.
"Everyone listen."
He looked down at the worshipers at his feet and announced, "I have important things to do. From today on, my rule here is over."
"You are free."
After the words fell, the red dragon flapped its wings, its huge body flew over Palace, and disappeared into the depths of the silver void in the blink of an eye.
On the floating island, there is deathly silence.
The intelligent creatures looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their ears. It wasn't until the huge figure completely disappeared that the cheers that had been suppressed for a long time burst out.
"He's gone! He's really gone!"
"Free! We are free at last!"
They cried with joy, and some had the courage to curse in the direction in which the red dragon was leaving.
"Bah! Brutal Evil Dragon! You will be punished sooner or later!"
The scoldings got louder and louder, trying to bring back all the fear of these years.
But the next second.
A huge shadow once again enveloped the floating island.
The cheers and curses came to an abrupt end.
The red dragon left and returned without knowing when, and was hanging above their heads, looking down at them, with a hurt expression on its faceplate.
"I just left."
"You are just slandering me like this?"
"Don't you think about my mood?"
"I'm very sad right now, because I always thought that I got along quite happily with you."
Thump, thump.
On the floating island, everyone fell to their knees.
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"We, we didn't mean that----"
Cries and begging for mercy were heard one after another.
Red Dragon listened quietly, and then let out a long sigh.
"Alas."
"You seem to think I'm cruel."
"But actually, I feel pity and cannot bear to see the destruction of life. Your reaction at the moment really makes me very disappointed."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Boom!
The scorching hot Dragon Breath poured down like a waterfall and engulfed the entire floating island.
Palace, flag, intelligent life, cry----
Everything was burned up in the flames and burned to the ground.
The red dragon closed its eyes.
From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at it, and didn't care about the raging fire. He flew directly into the silver void and disappeared.
