Chapter 496: We Seem to Have Scared Her
Titan said, they went back...
The information in this sentence was enormous, so enormous that Anthony and the others exchanged glances: "Go back? Go back where?"
Actually, everyone already had a guess inside. Where did Titan come from?
From the Main Plane, the most likely was returning to the Main Plane, and before the Faith Storm descended, Titan had also conveyed a message through lightning: Thunder would eventually return.
So Titan must want to return to the Main Plane, and Lord Nai Ge Li Si and the others had even analyzed why.
"Why did Titan want to run? Isn't it just because of Your Majesty and the Church of Light? I even suspect that Titan came here together with the exiled Light Main Divine Spark." Anthony analyzed.
"Now the world is changing, the situation is already very different. Your Majesty has also come to this world, re-established the Undying Empire, which is simply an inescapable nightmare for those Titans. At this time, what is their best choice?" Anthony asked.
Duroken said: "You come over, I'll go back, anyway I'll just stay out of your way."
"Right, if there were still one kind of attack that could clean out all the gods of the Main Plane, that would be even better. Once the Titans return, they would directly be the strongest species of the Main Plane. So they notified the dwarves in advance, asking them to protect the War God and the God of Forging. By then, with the returning Thunder God added, the Titans and dwarves would have three deities, and with a flip, they would be the overlords of the Main Plane."
"Hiss—Are the Titans this smart?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked, his teeth aching.
"That's your stereotype for you. Have you forgotten being screwed over by Dwarf King Copper Hammer?" The dwarves' honest and simple stereotype image made Anthony let down his guard, and he was rare to be taken for a ride.
He brought good wine over, not only was it drunk by the other party, but he also had to repair the War God chessboard for them, and after repairing it, he had to watch the records together with them. If Lord Seeing Ange hadn't confiscated his hammer, that would have been a real loss.
So the conclusion drawn was that the Titan race returning to the Main Plane was the best choice.
But the Titans didn't know that the Main Plane had produced an even more perverted guy, a pervert who could unite the Church of Light, the Magic Stars, humans, elves, dragons, dwarves, the undead, and all other forces.
"So, they went back to the Main Plane? How did they go back? Where did they get to?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.
Seeing Ange shook his head blankly. Obviously, this kind of information could not be spread through Thunder.
"Then we can only let everyone on the Main Plane raise their vigilance. Seeing Ange, notify Iruni later, he's been observing the changes in the void, maybe the Titans haven't even returned to the Main Plane yet and he's already discovered them." Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.
Stargazing was Iruni's hobby, and the Astrology Tower of the Star Academy was also the most advanced on the Main Plane. At the beginning of the Faith Storm's arrival, he had also discovered it, but lacking information, he couldn't connect the star signs with specific events. When the time comes, remind him, and he can connect the two himself.
Seeing Ange agreed, and Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked again: "What is that in your hand?"
The iron spear Seeing Ange drew out was found on the statue of the Titan City at the bottom of the sea. The material itself was very special. Although it was iron, after soaking at the bottom of the sea for so many years, there was only a layer of rust on the surface. Could it be stainless iron?
This wasn't the most amazing part. The most amazing part was that after a wave of lightning baptism, it actually recovered as good as new.
When it was struck by lightning and the current was channeled into the ground, it could stimulate the growth of thunder-type crops, such as thunder-struck wood and the like, and could even assist the cultivation of mixed-blood Titans like Purple Bones.
But later comparison found that ordinary lightning rods could also do this, so what mattered was the lightning, not the iron spear. So Duroken designed a bit, found dwarves to build a set of lightning rod towers over ninety meters tall, erected in places where thunderstorms often occur for Purple Bones and others to cultivate, and the iron spear was left idle.
But now, the six or seven meter long iron spear was gone, turned into a ball of lightning. What was this thing?
Seeing Ange gripped it hard, and the lightning ball was 'gripped' into a spear. Seeing Ange looked at the spear in his hand, tilted his head, then stepped forward, leaned his upper body back, stretched his arm, his entire skeleton stretched back like a bow, then suddenly bounced forward, and the spear was thrown out.
A very standard throwing posture, the spear turned into a bolt of lightning and stabbed diagonally into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
Anthony and Duroken both widened their eyes and shouted in shock: "Did you see it? Did you see it clearly?"
"No no no, I just saw a black line whoosh and it was gone." Duroken also replied in shock.
Don't blame them for being shocked. Whether Anthony or Duroken, they were both the topmost powerhouses of the two worlds, one was the Pope, the other was the owner of one of the four sub-palaces of the Palace of Rest. A spear that even they couldn't see clearly, there were not many people in the world who could see it.
A little yellow book flew up, and Lord Nai Ge Li Si's roar rang out: "Is now the time to discuss this question!? This damn skeleton threw the spear away! Threw it away! Threw it away! Who's going to pick it up quickly!"
Then he turned to Seeing Ange and shouted: "Why are you throwing it into the sky, are you going to pick it up?! Throw it at the mountain."
Seeing Ange shook his head: "It'll explode." As he spoke, he pressed his hands down in the air.
It'll explode? An iron spear will explode? Or... it'll blow up the mountain?
While wondering, they saw a point of electric light flash out from the center where Seeing Ange's hands pressed down.
"Hiss, Thunder Spear, a real Thunder Spear, the kind that you throw out and instantly returns to your hand!" Duroken said in shock.
Purple Bones Titan had picked up a pile of Thunder Spears in the Redemption Goddess's warehouse, but those weren't real Thunder Spears, they were one-time use, gone once thrown.
The real Thunder Spear, according to the Thunder Titans, was condensed from the power of Thunder, and would return after being thrown, just like the one in Seeing Ange's hand.
The electric light grew more and more, and soon turned into a lightning ball. Seeing Ange gripped again, and the six or seven meter long iron spear reappeared in his hand.
"Throw it out and it comes back? No need to pick it up? That amazing?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si was shocked.
It was that amazing. Seeing Ange let go, and the iron spear immediately shrank into a ball of lightning. This time, Seeing Ange pinched hard, and the lightning ball was pinched apart. When he opened his hand again, his palm was empty.
"Put it away? Put it away where?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked in surprise.
Seeing Ange pointed at his head. The Thunder Spear was stored in his soul in a very magical way, and as long as he moved his mind, he could draw it out at any time.
When Lord Nai Ge Li Si still wanted to ask something, Seeing Ange suddenly turned his head and looked toward the mountain ridge. Halfway up the distant mountain ridge, Abuk was floating over quickly, with Griffinie following behind him, looking at Seeing Ange and the others with complicated feelings.
After they got closer, Lord Nai Ge Li Si said somewhat embarrassedly: "Griffinie, sorry about that, making such a big commotion, hope it didn't scare your people."
Griffinie pressed her lips together, hesitated in entanglement for a moment, and blurted out: "How do we compensate."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si, Anthony, and Duroken were all stunned. Only Neiwen was laughing awkwardly on the side. This... this was really too inarticulate, no wonder she would say things like 'are you here to be buried with us'.
Anthony laughed heartily, walked forward a few steps: "Although the commotion was a bit big, fortunately, the relic altar has been perfectly repaired and activated. How would you like to pay for this repair?"
"Huh? Pay money?" Griffinie was shocked: "I'm not the one who asked you to repair it, and this isn't my stuff either."
"Oh? Not your stuff? Then forget it, we'll take the stuff away. my lord, let's dismantle." Anthony waved his hand.
The Thunder Titan's altar could receive information across a world, this was a treasure. Originally didn't want to leave it for Griffinie, didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative. Now this was great, the altar became ownerless property.
Seeing Ange nodded and looked at Duroken.
Duroken instructed: "First dig out a two-meter deep circular pit around the altar."
Seeing Ange looked at the little zombie.
The little zombie immediately armored out a hoe and started digging the pit. It was like a large mud-mixing construct, the dirt was thrown seven or eight meters high by it, buzzing forward. In no time, it dug out a circle of two-meter deep tunnel around the altar, surrounding the altar.
Duroken landed in the pit, drew a circle of magic array along the bottom of the pit, then said: "Alright, detached and reinforced, can be transferred."
Seeing Ange pressed both hands on the altar and pressed hard. Whoosh, the entire altar disappeared, pressed by him into the dimensional space, leaving only a large circular pit.
Fortunately, a dimensional space was created, otherwise there was no way to store such a large item. It definitely couldn't fit into the Palace of Rest, and as for the Divine Realm, it would have to be carried in first, too much effort.
Throughout the entire process, Griffinie watched silently, her emotions fluctuating violently, not knowing what she was thinking, but she didn't show any intention to stop it.
Abuk floated over, puzzledly poked her, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say to take the opportunity to provoke and have a fight with us? Now such a good chance, provoke..."
Before she finished speaking, she was urgently interrupted by Griffinie: "When did I ever say such a thing, don't talk nonsense, no, you must have heard wrong."
"Huh?" I clearly said it on the way back—how could I have misheard?
"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Griffinie denied it in rapid succession.
She'd have to be crazy to go provoke them—didn't she see what these people had done? They nearly blasted the valley apart, and that javelin just now had left her trembling with fright.
She waited until Seeing Ange had put the altar away before asking, "Are you going to eat? I'll have someone prepare a meal."
The topic jumped so wildly that Anthony nearly slipped and fell.
Now everyone could be certain that this Griffinie really couldn't hold a conversation—a bit like a social anxiety sufferer racking their brain for a topic, but invariably ending up as the queen of dead air.
Of those present, only Anthony and Niven needed to eat, but under the circumstances they weren't in the mood either—better finish the matter first.
"You've gone to see the petrified dragon, so did Abuk tell you why we came?" Anthony asked.
Griffinie, however, answered a question that hadn't been asked: "What faction are you from? The Church of Light? Or the Undying Empire?"
Anthony gave her a meaningful look and answered in kind: "Our current mission is to rescue Your Majesty from the Annihilation Barrier."
He didn't state his faction outright, yet called the Undying Sovereign Your Majesty—answering Griffinie's question while leaving even more room for interpretation. In a single sentence, the old charlatan's art of speech was on full display.
But Griffinie clearly hadn't seen how lofty the 'art' within was. She simply breathed a sigh of relief—the Spirit Dragon Knights must stand with the Undying Empire, even though they had no subordinate relationship with it.
Since everyone was on the same side, they could talk: "What do you want?" Griffinie asked.
"No, no, no, it's not about what we want. Here's the situation—we've obtained a masterless petrified dragon, and we need a soul to drive it. Niven is a good kid, so the first thing I thought of was your Spirit Dragon Knights. He said you might need a body, which is why we came."
Saying this, Anthony paused, then asked solemnly: "What can you offer?"
Griffinie's expression flickered through several changes, her ethereal face even twisting a little, before she finally said: "I don't want that body anymore."
……
After leaving the dragon's tomb by more than ten kilometers, Anthony suddenly figured it out: "It seems we scared her."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si agreed: "Probably. I felt like she was an undead who doesn't really like contact with people—speaks directly, jumps topics wildly. Seeing Ange probably scared her."
"Right. I bet what she was thinking was: these people are so powerful, yet they came over on their own to give her a body—what are they after? Could they have ill intentions? Forget it, can't figure it out, so annoying, don't want it." Duroken guessed.
Abuk also said: "On the way back, she was still very interested in the body, saying she wanted to provoke you into a fight to see who'd beat whom. But after meeting you, she denied having said such things—probably really got scared."
Seeing that Seeing Ange had already reached into space to plant crops, Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't contain his anger and said loudly: "You scared her, do you hear me?!"
Seeing Ange nodded.
Anthony and Duroken burst out laughing: "Good, good, just scared her. If we'd let my lord chat with her for a bit, she'd probably have gotten angry too."
Imagining that scene, Lord Nai Ge Li Si laughed despite himself, but after laughing, he had to fret again: "So what do we do with this dragon corpse? How about this, Abuk—don't reincarnate as a dragon-soul warrior after all, just go back into your body and be a proper undying dragon."
Abuk shook his head firmly.
Seeing Ange suddenly said: "Alive. Revive."
A sudden, out-of-nowhere sentence—the others didn't understand. Lord Nai Ge Li Si thought for a moment, then sucked in a cold breath: "You mean, transfer a consciousness in and revive it as a living dragon? Like Bai Hou Nai Aili? No, like Black Face?"
Seeing Ange nodded.
……
On the Eternal Road, Seeing Ange's main body moved, turning and arching its form. Its soul howled, and a message, carried by that howl, reached every soul across the multiverse that shared a soul-link.
