Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 653 - 041 Beast God Appears (First Update)

In the past, when Austin was weak, he once obtained two things similar to Divine Crystals.

The first one came from within the Pyramid constructed during the necromantic plague that the Beast God unleashed behind the Beastman Royal Court.

That Divine Crystal was eventually consumed during the process of eradicating the mysterious power on the Law Power of the Pure-blooded Beastman when refining the Immortal Law.

The second one was a gift from the old priest within the Fallen Divine Kingdom.

Back then, he inadvertently entered that Divine Kingdom, which had almost collapsed into a small island beneath the Volcanic Cluster Domain, not knowing how many years had passed, and encountered the remnant soul of an epic-level old priest within it.

From the old priest's words, Austin learned that someone had once come to the Divine Kingdom and taken away the most important things from within.

Later, from various clues, Austin speculated and learned,

that the Beast God, who had fallen in an unknown war, was somehow reborn, returning to secretly control the Beastman Royal Court and initiated the necromantic plague from behind the scenes, achieving its unknown purpose.

Until the final great war broke out, the Beastman Royal Court was destroyed, and the Beast God disappeared without a trace.

At that time, Austin, in fear, didn't have the courage to approach the battlefield to watch, and was not clear about the details of that war, only feeling that on that day, the vast aura like a great burning sun rose from the horizon, an infinitely hot breath impacting the Celestial Secret Aura, causing the celestial energy to rage like an endless tsunami.

Thus, that Divine Crystal was kept by Austin in the Treasure Room.

Occasionally, he would take it out, trying to observe and analyze it, but its power was indeed too advanced, even he, who could devour and refine Law Origin, had no means to deal with it.

It was utterly unremarkable, with no extraordinary phenomena.

Yet Austin could sense the extremely high-level power sealed within it!

However,

what Austin did not expect was that the spoils obtained back then turned out to be a hidden countermeasure of that Beast God in the shadows!

If it weren't for a series of events today that gave Austin some insight,

that one might have continued to hide in his Treasure Hall, causing untold trouble for him!

Austin was suspended in the void,

his gaze filled with a murderous intent.

A dead silence enveloped the air.

Opposite him,

amongst countless golden brick treasures, accompanied by the slow rotation of the Divine Crystal,

Hiss!

Accompanied by the sound of clear flowing water,

darkness thick as ink flowed like water from the originally crystal-clear Divine Crystal, instantly turning the entire hall into a scene like heaven collapsing and earth sinking, rendering the sun and moon without light, and all splendid colors turning to gray.

Then,

the completely untainted, purest darkness converged like a living creature, forming a pitch-black silhouette suspended in the void, with eyes emitting a sinister red light.

The darkness on the figure flowed like water,

as if a bizarre Demon God descended from Hell.

[Little Blue Dragon, when did you discover me?]

The strange Beast God's crimson pupils stared at Austin, with the black smoke swirling around its body like a ferocious ghost baring its fangs and claws.

"Is it so hard? As long as a bird flies through the sky, it leaves traces. Do you think doing so much can really leave people unaware?"

Austin stared intently at the bizarre scene before him,

without any motion, but his heart was alert to the extreme, ready to unleash a terrifying destructive attack at any moment to shatter everything in front of him.

Too careless!

Anything related to the Divine should not have been handled carelessly, yet he placed the Divine Crystal in his collection hall without any vigilance, allowing the opponent's backup plan to quietly and smoothly hide in his base, silently watching everything he did from the shadows.

How many of his secrets were thus known by the opponent?!

A chill ran through Austin's heart, and the murderous intent in his gaze grew even hotter.

"When a sound similar to the chanting of faith occurred around me, I had some suspicions. If being revered by people can produce faith, then could those wise kings of Central Earth, those heroes revered by people throughout their travels, easily become gods because of it? Clearly, that's impossible!"

"At that time, I was only suspicious, but I had no target for my suspicions."

"What really alerted me was the descent of that deity! In this era, deities have only recently awakened; over thousands of years, the Vatican's power has weakened to the extreme, and any bit of Divine Power is extremely precious. If that deity descended even at the cost of expending a limited amount of Divine Power, then it must have already discovered some traces around me!"

That unknown deity, after exchanging one blow with him, immediately left this world.

Within this,

Edward's body was too fragile to bear more powerful Divine Power, which was the main reason,

but perhaps the opponent discovered some of Austin's secrets and realized he was not the reincarnated fallen Beast God or a puppet secretly manipulated, was another reason.

Staying in the world to continue fighting, not to mention the vast amount of Divine Power needed to sustain Edward's body, even if it crushed him with absolute power, then what?

There was simply nothing worth risking.

Therefore, the unknown deity decisively left.

Originally, Austin had some doubts.

But once he understood the causes and consequences, everything became clear! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Even that Edward kid, who ultimately achieved this level, couldn't have been without your hand pushing things behind the scenes!"

With the strength of the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe, combined with the development of an Otherworld version of the beastman spy system based on various scientific advances and modern intelligence systems, such powerful intelligence capabilities, yet they couldn't detect Edward's tumultuous development among the Dragon Nest Tribe, not even the head of the spies within the Beastman Tribe knew about such an individual,

this is simply unscientific!

The only possibility is that someone has been concealing all traces of that person.

Moreover, most importantly,

Edward, a mere ordinary Extraordinary being, who hadn't even stepped into the Legendary Realm tier, how did he know those untold secrets, getting involved with the deities above the starry sky, and becoming a carrier for their schemes?!

Unless,

someone once on the same level as deities, secretly revealed certain hidden truths to him, allowing Edward to connect with those deities above the starry sky, who had not long awakened!
