The Tides Will Help You
"Round, radiant Stars."
Braiduk repeated it once, then confidently raised the snake's head, shook its tail, slapped the ground, and shouted.
"I will remember, Father!"
Its 500-meter-long body struck the ground of the island in the Dark Ocean, stirring up boundless dust.
But compared to the Wild Giant, their size is too small, like the giants gently tapping the ground with their fingers.
Gutel nodded in satisfaction.
"Then I'll trouble you, my child."
He extended a finger and gently patted Braiduk's head, then spoke.
"Go, child. Go to the land of Radiance, and bring eternal Radiance to this Land of Darkness."
"Father, how can I get to the Continent of Radiance?"
"The Dark Serpent, Braiduk, asked."
Gutel smiled and pointed to the edge of the Deep Sea in the Dark Inner Ring Sea, where endless clouds pierced through.
"It's right there, at the edge of the World of Darkness, at the farthest border of the Deep Sea, just beyond the clouds."
"I understand, Father."
Braiduk nodded heavily on the snake's head.
"I'll set off right away."
"Alright, go. I will slumber in the Shadow Kingdom, waiting for your return."
Gutel laughed.
"Okay, I'm going."
The Dark Serpent Braiduk turned and leaped into the sea, heading in the direction Gutel had indicated.
And behind him.
The Wild Giant Gutel, who wielded the Law of Shadows, watched his figure disappear from sight, then looked at the pitch-black sky and ocean, and sighed.
I hope he succeeds.
He didn't have high hopes for Braiduk.
Although this giant serpent inherited some of his shadow abilities, he did not believe that the brilliant Sun in the sky would be attacked by a Dark Serpent.
The Sun, also a manifestation of the Law of the Sun, is incredibly powerful, far surpassing the Law of Shadows.
He closed his eyes and began to sleep.
In this dark and cold world, he was uninterested in everything.
He believes that if he were to face this situation for an extended period of time, he would also be driven insane.
After he fell into a deep sleep, a snoring sound echoed throughout the sea.
And next to this island in the Shadow Kingdom.
A group of bizarre fish formed from the brain marrow of Wild Giant were stained with a few drops of blood from when Gutel broke his little finger.
They also developed some intelligence, began to settle in this sea, and started to imitate the snoring of the Wild Giant in the Shadow Kingdom.
On the other side.
The Dark Serpent Braiduk travels through the Dark Ocean.
From the Shadow Kingdom to the Sea of Mist at the edge of the Deep Sea, everything was extremely far for the Wild Giant.
Not to mention the Dark Serpent, whose size is only the size of a single finger of Wild Giant.
Despite the long journey, Braiduk never stopped, lurking in the darkness.
Moreover, the Dark Ocean is home to a large number of Dark Ocean creatures that can serve as food when he is hungry, so it's not too boring.
He wandered like this for decades.
He finally reached the edge of the Dark Inner Ring Sea.
He stopped at the edge of the sea cliff and saw for the first time the Sea of Mist the Wild Giant had spoken of.
The endless clouds stretched across the center of the world, parting the seas, connecting the sky and the earth, leading to the boundless beyond.
"What a breathtaking sight! I'm already looking forward to seeing Continent of Radiance be like."
The greatness of the Creator needs no further explanation.
He watched for a while, but dared not venture out of the sea into the clouds. Instead, he carefully followed the surface of the continent toward the Radiance side.
Not long after.
When the Dark Serpent entered the ocean of Radiance.
Instantly.
An unprecedented feeling overwhelmed his senses.
His world became brighter, and the seawater, which he had previously perceived as dark, became shallower.
This was the color of the deep blue sea in his eyes, simply because his eyes could only see black and white.
He raised his head from the vast, deep blue sea, his gaze unobstructed in the Radiance.
at this time.
It was nighttime on the mainland.
The sea where he was located was dotted with a crescent-shaped group of islands, an archipelago near the edge of the Inner Ring Sea.
And above him.
The deep starry sky covered the vast expanse, with countless Stars shining above it, and in the center of the endless stars, a bright moon shone with a cool and clear light.
"Round, radiant Stars."
Is this the Sun Father spoke of?
The Dark Serpent, Braiduk, was shaken to his core.
"It's so beautiful, such a thing!"
Such things should not be exclusive to Land of Radiance; our Land of Darkness should also possess such Radiance!
There are countless shining Stars in the sky, but the Dark Serpent Braiduk has only that great bright moon in his heart.
He knew that this was the Sun his father, Gutel, had spoken of.
"While such beautiful things should not be ruined, the Dark Continent should not remain in eternal darkness either."
"I should finish my task now."
His eyes hardened.
After gathering his strength, he raised the power of the shadow, concentrated all his power in the snake's tail, and leaped into the sky.
But the sky was too far away, and he tried to jump several times but could not reach it.
The power of the shadows was also insufficient for him to reach the heavens.
Just when he was at his wit's end.
The entire ocean suddenly surged, and a female Giant, ten thousand meters tall, appeared before him and spoke.
"You have a familiar scent about you; it's Gutel's scent."
The Dark Serpent never expected that there would be a being as powerful as its father in the Land of Radiance, and it bowed its head in shock.
"Yes, sir."
"I am transformed from a piece of my father's finger."
"So it was Gutel's child."
Her expression softened.
"What are you trying to do by leaping in the ocean?"
"The Giant asked."
"My lord, my father has commanded me to travel to the other side of the Dark Continent, to the Continent of Radiance, to bring Radiance to the Dark Continent."
"I can be honest, "Braiduk said.
"Your father is still alive?"
The Giant suddenly became agitated.
"Of course, sir. Not only is my father still alive, but several of his clansmen are also sleeping beside him in the darkness."
The Dark Serpent was a wise serpent; it keenly sensed the goodwill the Giant showed when she mentioned Gutel.
"So, they're still alive."
The Giant murmured to herself, a hint of relief in her voice.
She looked at the Dark Serpent Braiduk and asked.
"Okay, I understand. I can help you, child."
How will you bring them Radiance?
"My father told me that if I ate a part of it, took it to the Dark Continent, and hung it high in the sky, that would be enough."
The Dark Serpent Braiduk raised its tail and pointed it at the bright moon in the sky.
"Gnawing on the bright moon?!"
The Giant was startled.
"That's a masterpiece of the Creator, how dare Gutel do that?"
"The Creator?"
The Dark Serpent was momentarily confused, not understanding what Creator was.
Those who are ignorant have no fear.
He looked at the Giant and asked.
"My lord, I suspect you are a member of my father's clan. You all possess incredibly tall statures, and I believe I may be able to receive your help. Without Radiance, my father and his people will forever slumber, eternally trapped in solitude."
The Giant frowned and pondered for a long time before finally sighing.
"Gutel, you preserved the race of the Wild Giant."
"I think I should do something for you."
After saying that, she looked at the Dark Serpent Braiduk and spoke.
"Go, child, leap towards the heavens once more! This time, the tides will aid you!"
