Chapter 743: If Bones Grow, It Counts as Hyperplasia
"Fine, you old deathless one, did you break my skill? Give back my prophecy ability!" Lord Nai Ge Li Si shouted angrily.
Among the three ancient great dragons, the Time Dragon, the Void Dragon, and the Prophet Dragon, the Bronze Dragon is the so-called Prophet Dragon, possessing the ability to foresee, capable of predicting future changes within a certain timeframe.
This is far superior to Xia Mala's "good omens work, bad omens fail" premonition ability; it is a true ability to see the future.
However, Lord Nai Ge Li Si cannot unleash the true power of this ability; at most, during a fight, he can foresee where an enemy's claw will strike and dodge in advance.
But if the power gap is too great, foreseeing is useless; he still cannot dodge, such as when Rock beat him.
So this prophecy ability is like a useless bone to him, not even as useful as his own claws.
But no matter how useless it is, you cannot steal it; after stealing it, you erased his memory. Is there no law?
Alright, even if there is no law, stealing it and then breaking it is too much.
A wisp of smoke slowly drifted over, transforming into that huge figure Seeing Ange knew well, except now he was only as tall as an ordinary person. His gaze fell upon Lord Nai Ge Li Si, and he said sorrowfully: "Nai Ge, you've lost weight."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si replied grumpily: "Can I lose more weight than you? You're so thin you're nothing but bones."
The Monarch said in surprise: "Eh, talking back now? That was a clever retort. I am indeed nothing but bones and have no way to refute you. Who taught you?"
"Hmph, don't change the subject. Did you break my prophecy power?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si demanded, though his perked-up little tail showed he was secretly delighted.
"Hehe, it's not my fault; it just inexplicably stopped working." The Monarch chuckled awkwardly: "I will return it to you on the original body."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si did not believe such nonsense and said: "This isn't a magic item that can just stop working after sitting around. Did you get too idle recently, your power declined, your kidneys are weak, so your eyes are blurry and you can't see clearly?"
The Monarch was truly surprised: "You are so good at retorting now, not just muttering like before. You've really grown up. What happened? What happened in your family to make you like this?"
"Too many things happened in the family. Better you tell me what happened first. Why did you come here to the Chaos Plane and become the Undying Dominator? Why has your power become so strong? The Primordial Gods of Origin are being chased by you. Why could you foresee the Faith Storm but not the Chaos Tide? What are you farming here? What field did the Dark Origin burn? Why..."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si's questions were continuous like Seeing Ange's magic, making the Monarch feel dizzy.
Seeing this wouldn't work, Anthony quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, do you remember me?"
The Monarch's will swept over Anthony, and suddenly, as if seeing something miraculous, he circled Anthony once, exclaiming in wonder:
"Piero, you have been resurrected, reincarnated from a undead into a Black Knight and then resurrected as a human? The reincarnation altar you invented is so miraculous. I could only foresee you becoming a Grand Bishop. From the surging holy light power within you, you really did become the Grand Bishop of the Church of Light?"
"No, Your Majesty. I am now the Pope of Light, the earthly representative of the God of the Scales, and also the earthly representative of the God of Undeath. Can you foresee who inherited your Undead Divine Seat?" Anthony asked.
The Monarch shook his head: "I cannot sense it. Did someone really inherit the Undead Divine Seat? Who? One must possess my power to possibly inherit the Divine Seat and the Palace of Rest. I didn't believe you a while ago. Who inherited it?"
While speaking, the Monarch's gaze shifted to Seeing Ange, examining him carefully. Among those present, only Seeing Ange had a feeling he could not clearly discern, yet he could not recall who Seeing Ange was.
"Guess. Guess again. Take your time guessing." Lord Nai Ge Li Si put his hands on his hips, watching the Monarch's painful contemplation with glee.
"I can't guess. Just say it. If you keep teasing me, I'll beat you up," the Monarch said.
Lord Nai Ge Li Si replied with a smile: "Do you remember that farm on the edge of the Palace of Rest?"
The Monarch said: "I remember. When I was bored, I would project onto a Golden Skeleton's body and go there to farm. Are you saying he is that Golden Skeleton?"
"Guess again," Lord Nai Ge Li Si said with a smile.
The Monarch swung his scythe, shook it, and the scythe transformed into a spiked mace, pretending to smash.
"The farming skeleton in the farm," Lord Nai Ge Li Si said, while watching the expressions and body language on the Monarch's face. Seeing the Monarch shudder all over with an expression of disbelief, he felt secretly delighted.
Let you steal my skill and erase my memory; scare you to death.
"How is that possible? I placed only the lowest-level withered bone skeletons in the farm; their souls simply could not bear the Undead Divine Seat. Moreover, I had no foresight regarding anything about him. Nai Ge, is your prophecy power that weak?" the Monarch said in shock.
Lord Nai Ge Li Si roared: "Weak? You still stole it. Clearly you broke it. You can't sense it, so you say my prophecy power is weak. Shameless. Give it back quickly."
Anthony had to interrupt their conversation; if they kept going off-topic like this, they wouldn't know when they would reach the key information. "Your Majesty, can you truly not foresee the existence of my lord?"
"You just said you foresaw me becoming a Grand Bishop but didn't know I became the Pope, and you couldn't foresee Lord Nai Ge arriving here, being very surprised by his appearance. I ask Your Majesty, until what time period does the future you foresee remain valid?"
The Monarch immediately understood Anthony's meaning: "The prophecy power started failing a few years ago. Your meaning is that something is blocking the prophecy power? Him?"
The Monarch's gaze fell upon Seeing Ange. Seeing Ange also tilted his head, looking curiously at the Monarch. This image had always been hidden deep in his soul; even when he was in the Palace of Rest, it always scared him into entering the palace to search for better skeletons.
Finally meeting face to face, Seeing Ange saw another familiar image on him: a Golden Skeleton hunched over and squatting on a Tian Geng. That was the Lord who created him, Seeing Ange's true King.
Before, Lord Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony always said the Lord in the farm was the Monarch's clone. From their similar body movements, Seeing Ange could confirm they were indeed the same.
Anthony said: "I don't know the characteristics of the prophecy power, but in the Main Plane, we know a Saintess of the Church of Light. She also possesses the same premonition ability, but her premonition ability cannot affect anyone stronger than her. So, could it be that my lord has already exceeded the prediction range of the prophecy power?"
"Possible. The prophecy power also has no effect on the Abyssal Maw, the Dark Origin, and that hiding-and-showing Void Will. Eh, is this child that strong?" the Monarch said in surprise.
Speaking of this, the Monarch finally remembered something: "What is your name?"
He hadn't had time to ask Seeing Ange's name yet.
"Seeing Ange," Seeing Ange said.
The Monarch was greatly shocked: "It's you? I remember there was a skeleton in the farm that wouldn't rot no matter what, so I casually named it Seeing Ange. Could it be you?"
Lord Nai Ge Li Si could no longer hold back and burst into laughter: "Ahahahaha, guess why he wouldn't rot."
Seeing Ange nodded. That is why he is called Seeing Ange; otherwise, a vegetable-farming skeleton wouldn't need a name.
The Monarch suddenly let out a long sigh: "Truly an incredible thing. A withered bone skeleton so fragile back then has now grown into an existence that even the prophecy power cannot predict, at least at the Chaos Origin level. What a pity..."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si said grumpily: "What do you mean? What is there to pity? Isn't this a good thing?"
The Monarch shook his head: "No, I just pity that it was too brief. The Dark Origin burned my fields and also burned the new Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Tree I planted on them. Without the Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Tree, there is no way to reverse the collapse of the Void..."
While speaking, the Monarch noticed the strange expressions on Lord Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony's faces and couldn't help asking: "What are these expressions on your faces?"
"Uh, Your Majesty, if I tell you that we also planted a Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Tree, a living one," Anthony said with a strange expression.
"What kind of joke is this? How can the Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Tree be planted so easily? It must first evolve from a World Tree, then into a Void Tree, and finally into a Ten Thousand Worlds Divine Tree. Do you have a World Tree, do you have a Void Tree... Tree...?" The Monarch stumbled here.
Because he saw a small sapling sprouting from Seeing Ange's shoulder, turning its head dizzily. Seeing the only person in the scene it didn't know, the Monarch, it immediately perked up, waved its true leaves, and sent out a fervent message: Push hard—
Just as the message was sent, it was gently pressed down by Seeing Ange. Bones cannot grow; if bones grow, it counts as hyperplasia.
