Garos stands at Summit of the Dragon Court, overlooking his own territory.
Red Emperor Royal City spreads out under your feet.
The building complex stretches almost to the end of the field of vision, majestic and majestic.
Look back.
Garos was thinking about the conversation with Bahamut just now, his expression was solemn, and the lines on Long's face were tense.
However, while he was uneasy in his heart, he was also a little lucky.
Fortunately, I chose Joyful Court first.
If due to ignorance and the filter of Dragon God, you accept the solicitation of a certain Dragon God by chance, or get shelter in a certain crisis, and finally choose to trust and join Dragon Pantheon, you may unknowingly become abnormal.
As for Dragon God and Garos besides Bahamut and Tiamat, I feel that they are completely out of reach.
After all, these two most famous Dragon Pantheon representatives are like this.
A life of constant messing up.
They are capricious, protecting this one today and abandoning that tomorrow, blessing them one moment, and turning their backs and being ruthless the next.
The other, holding his breath, wants to do a shocking job, and wants to eliminate all powerful beings above Immortal Realm and gods.
Other Dragon God.
Whether it's Good Dragon God or Evil Dragon God, there's probably not much difference.
Of course, this may also be Garos's bias.
Maybe there is also a Dragon God that conforms to the traditional cognitive impression, who abides by justice, protects the weak, and has a normal mind.
Not all Dragon God are extreme.
But he was not in the mood to explore anymore.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Garos Your Majesty----Dragon God's will has been brought. If there is nothing important, I will retreat first."
It's Brass Dragon King.
After Bahamut's will faded, he was still in the same place.
Garos ignored him.
But he cannot ignore the existence of Garos.
At this time, Red Iron Dragon slowly turned around, lowered his head, and stared at Brass Dragon King.
Under his gaze, Brass Dragon King felt a huge sense of oppression, as if a mountain was pressing down from above his head, and his breathing became stagnant.
0
He couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look at her.
Time passed slowly, seconds seemed like years, and the gaze and silence that made him almost suffocated lasted for more than ten seconds before an indifferent whisper reached his ears.
"From today on, Daylight Dragon Realm will be taken over by Sacred Aura."
Red Iron Dragon said lightly.
Brass Dragon King was shocked.
He raised his head sharply, lowered it quickly, and whispered, "You once promised that you would not interfere with the Dragon Realm's choice, and your minions are now spread across many worlds - please be noble and give Daylight Dragon Realm freedom."
Garos tilted his head slightly, expressionless, "You seem to have forgotten that I have never made any promises to you or to the Daylight Dragon Realm. My promise is for Nereus. It's just that I have mercy and gave you the opportunity to choose freely, but you don't cherish it and regard me as someone who needs to be vigilant."
"You don't even want to address me as Your Majesty."
Brass Dragon King stiffened up and said in a dry voice, "Your Majesty----"
Garos interrupted him and said without any doubt, "I have made up my mind."
"The empire will take over Daylight Dragon Realm. If you cannot accept it, you can pray to your god again, beg for his protection, and see if he can change my will."
He paused and leaned forward slightly. The shadow completely enveloped Brass Dragon King, even blocking the sunlight.
"Do you have any opinion?"
Although it was a question, Red Iron Dragon's tone left no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, Brass Dragon King was silent for a while.
He opened his mouth to speak and had countless things to say in his heart, but in the end he just lowered his head and said, "No, Your Majesty."
"I have no problem with you----."
Frankly speaking.
He knew that Garos was not a tyrant, on the contrary, he was the best emperor to the dragon.
For the Daylight Dragon Realm, I have done my best to be kind and righteous.
Garos turned around and looked at the distant sky again, his tail lightly sweeping behind him.
"Then step back."
Brass Dragon King looked at Red Iron Dragon's back as broad as a mountain, silently waved his wings, flew to the sky, gradually moved away, and finally turned into a
A black spot disappeared between the clouds.
Garos raised his head and looked at the sky.
The clouds were not thick, and a few white floating clouds were pushed by the upper air currents to move slowly, and their shapes changed unconsciously.
The wind howled and passed over his faceplate.
Garos After thinking quietly for a few seconds, he stretched out his claws, and the sharp claws tore the space apart, revealing a dark crack, and jumped in.
Joyful Court.
Midsummer Queen's courtyard.
The ground is paved with white stones, the trees hold up the canopy, and mottled light and shadow leak out from the branches and leaves. The stream meanders through the gaps between the stones, and the sound of water gurgling0
Titania and Red Iron Dragon are in the courtyard at this time.
Fairy Queen has a petite figure, wearing a long skirt woven from petals and morning dew, with a pair of transparent wings as thin as cicada's wings trembling gently on her back.
Garos is much larger.
The 100-meter-long body was entrenched in the center of the courtyard, with golden threads flowing on its red scales. Even if it was just lying there quietly, there was a heavy sense of oppression.
When the two stand together, the difference in body shape is clear at a glance.
However, it looks very harmonious.
"Just now, I couldn't sense your presence and was preparing to contact you."
Titania said and flew in front of Red Iron Dragon.
Her eyes swept over Red Iron Dragon's visor, she stretched out her slender hands, gently stroked the fine scales on her face, and said, "Garos, my dear Garos."
"You don't seem happy."
"I can feel your anxiety - your scales are tightening slightly. What happened to you? Tell me and I will make the decision for you."

Titania has a petite body.
In front of Garos, she is almost negligible and easily ignored.
However, her movements and tone at this time felt like a mother comforting a young child.
Gentle, sincere, and naturally caring.
Garos feels much more at ease.
Under the gentle caress of Titania, the haze that had accumulated in my chest was cleared away.
"There is a Destiny Dragon, carrying the will of Bahamut, who came to me----"
He thought about it, then recounted the conversation that took place at Red Emperor Royal City, and mentioned the doubts and troubles Bahamut had brought to him.
Soon after, Garos paused and said, "For this reason, I feel uneasy and confused. I hope to get your guidance."
Titania shook his head slightly, stepped back a little distance, and suspended in mid-air. Looking at the huge dragon in front of him, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
"So that's what it is."
"My dear Garos----it turns out you are scared too."
Who is not afraid of this?
Garos thought to himself.
After all, Bahamut is a being who stands at the top of the pyramid, but he has such extreme and paranoid ideas.
Garos never underestimates himself.
But he rarely overestimates himself. Compared with Dragon God at the level of Bahamut, he is still far behind. If he is involved in the conflict of Bahamut, everything he has now may be lost in an instant.
Red Iron Dragon Take a deep breath.
His eyes were calm and he said to Titania, "Of course I will be scared too."
"I'm afraid of death. I'm afraid that like the enemies I once trampled and destroyed, I will one day encounter the same situation and lose everything I have."
Hearing this, Titania sighed lightly.
She flew closer again and asked, "My poor child - how long have you been like this?"
Garos said, "From the day of birth until now."
Titania had a look of pity on his face.
After thinking for a few seconds, she took a step forward.
The petite and mini body dissipated and turned into a boundless light, enveloping Red Iron Dragon entirely.
For a while.
In this light, Garos felt as if someone was holding him in his arms, and at the same time, there seemed to be a warm hand caressing his back over and over again, with a touch as gentle as water.
Under such gentle caress, his muscles relaxed, and his anxiety and restlessness gradually subsided.
His eyes slowly closed in this sense of warmth, the dragon's head dropped, his breathing became even, and he fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long it will take.
Garos When I woke up, I felt refreshed, every muscle in my body relaxed, and even the gold threads on my scales became brighter0
He couldn't help but let out a low groan, shook his head, stood up, and found himself entrenched in the open space of the courtyard.
Titania was swaying lightly on Swing next to it, with its toes touching the ground and humming a lullaby softly.
"Sleep, sleep, my little star----"
"The moonlight will weave a silver dream for you----"
"The wind is gentle, the flowers are quiet, don't walk too far in your dreams, you will still be by my side when you wake up, sleep, sleep----"
Noticing Garos who woke up, Titania stopped humming.
She turned her head and asked, "You're awake, how do you feel?"
Garos shook his head, his voice a little dazed. "I feel——unprecedented calm."
Uneasiness, anxiety, urgency.
At this moment, all these things disappeared. Garos has never been so calm as now. It feels like his life has been saved.
Sublimation.
"That's good."
Titania floated down from Swing and landed in front of him. He reached out and brushed off a petal on his head that he didn't know when it got stuck.
"However, this is only temporary."
She said, "If you want to find peace of mind - you still need to rely on yourself after all."
Garos wrinkled the scales between his forehead slightly.
"From what you say, this seems to be a difficult thing."
"Of course."
Titania put away his smile and his expression became solemn, "It's just like you said Bahamut."
"He----he believes that powerful beings are the source of chaos and strife. He wants to create a world of weak people and end strife. It sounds unreasonable and unreasonable."
"But in fact, he is just pursuing his own peace."
Red Iron Dragon's pupils shrank slightly.
This sounds like----
It seems like she already knew that Bahamut had this idea?
Garos is a little surprised.
But then I felt that this seemed reasonable.
Based on Bahamut's behavior, he probably didn't bother to hide his thoughts. He also told Garos frankly about his plan and invited Garos to go with him. He was not annoyed at all when he was rejected.
It is normal for a high-level god like Titania to know some inside information.
No wonder when he asked Titania about the situation of Dragon God, Titania said that he wanted to experience it for himself.
If it hadn't been for what happened this time, it would be hard for me to really believe it if she told her.
Garos thought about it and asked, "Why is this happening? In my impression and in the inherited records, Bahamut is a fair, dignified and noble Dragon God who prefers Dragon Race."
"Even if the reality is different, there shouldn't be such a big gap."
Titania asked back, "Why do you think it is? Tell me your guess."
Garos thought for a while and said, "Is it because of the influence of faith?"
Bahamut Because of his justice and protection and compassion for the weak, Dragon Race is not the only one who believes in him. It can even be said that Dragon Race is only a very small part of the living beings who believe in him now."
"Perhaps these beliefs influenced him."
He felt that it was very possible.
But the problem is, Bahamut is an ancient Eternal One, whose personality corresponds to Greater Deity.
And his current Divinity is only at a weak level.
Judging from common sense, it should be difficult to influence him.
At this time, Titania shook his head and said, "No, the facts are exactly the opposite of your guess."
Garos looked puzzled, listened carefully, and tilted his head slightly forward.
Titania said, "Before Dragonfall War, Bahamut was Greater Divinity, but after Dragonfall War, his Immortal Realm personality was not affected, but his Divinity level continued to fall, falling to Lesser Divinity. His faith could no longer shake his will."
"In other words, he is the real him now, the pure him."
Red Iron Dragon's eyes changed slightly.
He said, "You mean----Platinum Dragon God, who preferred Dragonkin before, turned out to be influenced by his faith----"
"That's understandable."
Titania said.
Garos is silent.
Unexpectedly, the reality was completely opposite to what he thought, which was a bit counter-intuitive.
But if you think about it carefully, what Titania said is correct and more logical.
In the most glorious and prosperous era of Dragon Race, almost all of Bahamut's believers were Dragonkin. Affected by his faith, he would naturally protect and prefer Dragonkin from the bottom of his heart.
But now, Dragonkin people still fear him, but few really believe in him. The impact of belief on Bahamut has been minimal, and he has gradually restored his free will.
Thinking of this, Garos feels that there is another problem.
He mused, "Greater Divinity will definitely have an impact on him."
"However, Dragonkins initially had faith in Dragon Race because of Bahamut's justice and majesty and his protection of Dragon Race. His Divinity was born in such a faith, so the impact on his nature should not be so strong."
This made him feel conflicted.
"Garos, you are still as sharp as ever and can spot this problem."
Titania smiled slightly, with admiring eyes.
Then, under the gaze of Garos, she said seriously, "I know that you are afraid of Divinity and are worried that your free will will be affected invisibly."
"But have you ever thought that while Divinity has an influence, it is also an invisible barrier? Otherwise, why would all the gods in the sky, including me, be willing to be affected by Divinity instead of trying to make changes?"
Yes.
Why?
It can't be because all the gods in the sky are stupid and stupid, and only I, the little giant dragon who is afraid of Divinity's influence, is the only sane one Garos realizes.
Titania What I am going to say next should be some secret information that can solve a lot of doubts for myself.
He pretended to be listening attentively and said, "I have thought about this, but I can't find the answer. Please answer it for me."
Titania's eyes showed emotion.
"Both God and Immortal One have infinite lives and will not die from the passage of time, but this does not mean that they will not be affected by time."
"Time----a long time."
"It will kill our will, enthusiasm, and spirit, make us gradually lose our due interest in all things, and make our hearts become void and empty."
Garos Listen quietly.
This sounds a bit similar to the dragon's twilight, but it is more terrifying than the dragon's twilight. After all, the twilight has an end, but the emptiness felt in endless time has no end.
"Do you know what nothingness and emptiness breed?"
Without waiting for Garos to reply, Titania said softly, "It will breed madness, crazy thoughts, and paranoid thoughts."
So, is that so?
Garos's eyes flickered, and he gradually became enlightened.
To put it simply, I have lived for too long and lost interest in normal things, making my days more and more numb and boring.
Therefore, you will need a goal, a grand cause that you can devote your time and effort to, to fill the emptiness in your heart.
But ordinary goals are definitely not possible.
I have lived for countless years, what have I not seen?
Therefore, the older the existence, the easier it is to breed some extremely crazy ideas.
"In times like this, we need Divinity."
Titania said, "Divinity comes from faith, and faith comes from all living beings. Their emotions and desires will have an invisible impact on the gods, but at the same time, it is also a kind of nourishment that can fill the void in the heart."
After hearing this, Garos felt that he had a deeper understanding of the gods and Immortal Realm.
He summed it up.
Probably, the gods will be affected by Divinity, which is inevitable, but overall it is more stable.
Immortal Realm, especially pure Immortal Life.
It is very easy to go crazy and have epilepsy.
Red Iron Dragon thought thoughtfully, "I see, no wonder Dragon Gods are easily paranoid. They generally live for a long time, but today's Divinity level is lower than their own level."
"If you are not careful, you will go to extremes."
Opposite me, Titania shook his head slightly, with a solemn look on his face, and said, "Actually, it's not just Dragon God either."
You may think Bahamut's idea is crazy, but what I want to tell you is that it's nothing."
"As far as I know, besides him, there is an existence that is older than the original. He feels that the existence of all things in the world is too noisy for him to be at peace. Therefore, he wants to destroy the entire Multiverse, destroy all life, and return Multiverse to the silent chaos before the original."
"There are still some, some regard time as a torture and want to freeze everything so that everything is still and no longer have joy and sorrow, and some try to extinguish all
Star The sun brings eternal darkness to fall. Some cannot bear the suffering of living beings and want to drag all living beings into the illusory paradise world and enjoy eternal bliss. Some want to merge all living beings in the world into the ocean of the same will and become one body. There will be no more conflicts between you, me, and him——"
Almost without thinking.
Titania listed many examples at once.
Hearing this, even with Garos's calm character, he was inevitably shocked and his eyes gradually widened.
It turns out that under the seemingly calm surface, there are so many crazy guys!
He had always believed that although the pattern of Multiverse was complex, it was generally rational.
There is a certain tacit understanding between the gods and Immortal Realm.
Everyone is doing their own thing, and there are occasional frictions, but it won't really overturn the entire chessboard.
But now he found out.
Many of the players on this chessboard don't care about the chessboard at all, they even want to overturn it, and they don't want to have fun with you at all.
If one day----
These high-status gangsters get together, or happen to go crazy together, causing trouble together.
What will the future of our Multiverse look like?!
Bahamut, I seem to have misunderstood you----
For a while, Garos even agreed with Bahamut's idea, and it can even be said that he worked hard.
Most of these crooks have grown up with crazy thoughts because they have lived for too long.
Then, if the powerful beings with unlimited lives are wiped out, Multiverse can indeed achieve the peaceful order of the Eternal Realm on a macro level.
At least, it won't be completely overturned.
No.
How could I think like this? The people Bahamut wants to erase include me.
Red Iron Dragon shook his head, trying to get this idea out of his mind.
Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, he has not lived enough.
Maybe one day, because he has lived too long, he will have some crazy thoughts that are unreasonable in the eyes of others.
But now----
He felt that he was very normal and incompatible with those crazy existences.
