Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 166 - 145: The Fall of the Gods, the Two Dragon Descendants’ Resolve
The Space Dragon had left.
Both Silver Dragon Edie and Angelina couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was no other reason. Lince’s promotion, and his terrifying Body Type of over 1,500 meters, had simply been too oppressive.
Fear, confusion, shock, excitement, and then fervent zeal.
This psychological transformation occurred in the hearts of them both.
"It’s truly hard to imagine. When did our... Your Highness return to the mortal world?"
"And what’s the deal with this place? I still don’t understand it at all."
Silver Dragon Edie looked extremely curious. Unable to restrain herself, she had far too many questions.
Angelina did her best to calm herself. She looked at Silver Dragon Edie, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Over the past two days, I’ve been listening to the conversations between the Demon Beasts and humans in Dawn City while I was resting."
"It seems our Highness first descended within the borders of the Silver Lion Duchy, on the frontier between the Demon Beast Mountain Range and the various duchies of the Western Realm."
"And the City Lord of Dawn City seems to be the first Divine Favored to witness His Highness’s Descent into the mortal world."
"Considering everything, perhaps it was all the choice of fate."
Angelina didn’t know much about York; after all, she had only learned of his existence after coming to Dawn City this time.
But once Angelina returned to the Oakland Continent, she could naturally find out information about York quite quickly.
However, compared to going back to the Oakland Continent to gather information...
Perhaps she could glean some news from the residents of Dawn City and those missionaries.
Yes.
On Angelina’s first day in Dawn City.
She had been led by Phemos to overlook the entirety of Dawn City from a mountain peak.
With her Tier Nine Peak vision, it only took a moment to take in the entire city’s situation.
Therefore, Angelina had also successfully spotted many missionaries spreading knowledge in Dawn City’s slave district.
Moreover, if Angelina wasn’t mistaken...
The vestments of these missionaries were those of the Truth Church from the Eagle Kingdom.
’Truth Church missionaries are connected to His Highness?’
This bizarre situation had actually puzzled Angelina for a long time.
But now, things were better.
There would be plenty of time to figure it all out later.
Besides, none of this really mattered anymore. What mattered was that the Great One—the Great Ones—had finally returned.
Silver Dragon Edie gave Angelina a strange look.
Then, she said in an odd tone, "Angelina, something’s off about you."
"At a time like this, you should be the most excited one, right?"
"After all, His Highness’s existence means you finally don’t have to just sit around and wait for death like those old geezers."
"Who are you putting on this indifferent act for? Do you think I don’t know you?"
At Silver Dragon Edie’s words, a look of helplessness crossed Angelina’s face.
Her cold expression vanished, but her tone remained much more composed than Edie’s.
"It is a sign of true strength to conceal one’s joy."
"Never mind. You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it."
Silver Dragon Edie heard this and replied dismissively:
"’A sign of true strength,’ hah! Why do the powerful have to live such tiring lives?"
"As a Dragon Species, I remember the Dragon Race never had such a requirement. They just told us to remain true to ourselves."
"Look at all those old stories. How many Giant Dragons kidnapped a Princess, or even snuck off Dragon Island to run amok on the continent?"
"Even though they were all eventually caught and brought back to Dragon Island, the worst they got was a bit of solitary confinement. And you have to remember, the weakest of those dragons who managed to sneak out were adult Giant Dragons of the Saint Tier!"
"If you ask me, the reason the Oakland Continent had so many Sub-dragons and Dragon Species in the past had something to do with Dragon Island being deliberately indulgent."
Silver Dragon Edie grumbled, but she was quickly interrupted by Angelina.
"Watch your tongue. Words have consequences, especially since we now serve His Highness."
Angelina looked at Silver Dragon Edie with a serious gaze.
Silver Dragon Edie knew she had misspoken and immediately looked around in a panic.
She was terrified that her grumblings about the Dragon Race had been heard by the great being, Lince.
However, it was obvious Lince didn’t have time to constantly monitor two Dragon Descendant Dragon Species.
"You’re right, I misspoke. I won’t say any more, I won’t say any more."
Silver Dragon Edie stopped talking, instead using her Spiritual sense to suppress her Magic Power fluctuations and send a telepathic message: "But, Angelina, what do you think is going on with His Highness?"
"The commotion His Highness caused earlier was just too terrifying."
"A pillar of light reaching the heavens, a body as massive as a mountain range... and even with all that, His Highness’s aura only felt like it was at Tier Eight."
"That means that when His Highness was at Tier Seven, he could instantly kill any being below Saint Tier. I’ve never heard of anything so terrifying..."
At this point, Silver Dragon Edie glanced around cautiously before continuing:
"I remember the records say that no one on our Oakland Continent ever knew how many Divine Tier beings the Dragon Race had."
"But on the entire Oakland Continent, I don’t think there could be a second being who can control Space Power, right?"
Silver Dragon Edie’s expression was full of hesitation and uncertainty.
And Angelina was no different.
She looked at Silver Dragon Edie and didn’t hide her own suspicions, pondering for a moment before saying:
"The Power of Space is unique. That’s no secret on the entire continent."
"Even the fact that Magic Crystal Ores stopped producing ’Void Crystal Stones’ in ancient times is believed by many great beings to be related to him." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Ancient records say that back when the Power of Space was not yet unique, the entire continent had countless Space Shuttle Arrays and space-related items. Many Space System experts could even rival Giant Dragons of the same tier."
"Such a prosperous era is truly unimaginable in our time."
"But it truly did exist. After all, all five major powers on the Oakland Continent currently have records of these events."
"However, in the end, following a celestial event on a certain day, no creature with an affinity for the Space Element was ever born on the continent again. Even Magic Crystal Ores stopped generating Void Magic Crystals."
"The records of all races on this matter end there. No one investigated it, or perhaps no one dared to investigate the reason. Even the Deities of the various races remained silent about it."
"So, it was only after the Dragon Race disappeared that the other races dared to logically deduce that this matter was related to the primeval being of the Dragon Race, the great Space Dragon."
"But what’s the use in knowing? After all, something like this couldn’t have happened for no reason. And with the Deities of all races remaining silent, it’s possible that the power of Space Magic had previously caused some kind of disaster that harmed the entire continent."
"Therefore, even after the Dragon Race disappeared, regarding the loss of Space Power, the Deities only said one thing: ’The Power of Space is unique, and it should be unique.’"
As she spoke, Angelina’s expression gradually grew serious.
"For the Deities of all races to act this way, one can only imagine that the secret behind this matter is beyond comprehension."
"And now, the fact that we can appear in this world, and that the Deities haven’t made a Descent in three thousand years, has led me to guess a terrifying truth."
Having said this, Angelina immediately looked at Silver Dragon Edie and said:
"Edie, do you remember the details Phemos told us about this world?"
Silver Dragon Edie’s mind was still a bit fuzzy from Angelina’s long speech. When Angelina suddenly asked this, she didn’t think much and immediately replied:
"That bear said the native Deities of this Carter Continent were killed by the Deities of the Giant Demon Empire, who came from some unknown world, which led to this world’s complete fall."
"AHH!!!"
Suddenly, Silver Dragon Edie seemed to have finally discovered the truth!
She let out an involuntary low roar, and as she realized what was happening, she immediately covered her mouth with her Dragon Claw!
"So, Angelina, you suspect that the Deities of our Oakland Continent have all... all..."
Silver Dragon Edie’s eyes were wide with disbelief.
Angelina, however, made no attempt to hide it.
"I think there’s nothing left to doubt about this matter."
"It’s been over three thousand years. After a certain day, the Deities never again descended into the mortal world."
"And now, His Highness’s arrival, his Power, and the presence of those Truth Preachers in Dawn City... what do you think, Edie?"
Silver Dragon Edie’s eyes were filled with disbelief, and she even retorted:
"No, Angelina, maybe you’ve guessed wrong. If the Deities of our world really have all fallen, then why has our Oakland Continent remained stable for over three thousand years?"
"And our world hasn’t experienced the same situation as this one. How do you explain that?"
Faced with Silver Dragon Edie’s question, Angelina just sighed wistfully.
"No explanation is needed. His Highness’s existence is the truth."
"Because His Highness has appeared. His appearance also means the Dragon Race still exists. Even if all the Deities of the other races have fallen, our world still has a chance."
Hearing Angelina say this, Silver Dragon Edie’s expression went blank for a moment.
Although Silver Dragon Edie’s wisdom couldn’t compare to Angelina’s, she was still a Tier Eight Sub-dragon who was over two thousand years old.
So, her face instantly filled with a complex mix of shock and even worry.
"A World Guardian?"
"But, given His Highness’s current situation, Angelina, would you say the Dragon Race is doing okay right now?"
Silver Dragon Edie’s expression was full of worry and fear.
To this, Angelina could only shake her head:
"How would I know?"
"However, I imagine things are not too good."
"After all, even though His Highness before us seems to be displaying divine majesty like a mortal avatar..."
"But the Dragon Race has never had a concept of avatars. His Highness’s appearance in itself represents..."
"And the fact that only His Highness has returned... only one dragon... that in itself says a lot."
Angelina didn’t spell it out, but Silver Dragon Edie understood.
And so, the two of them looked at each other, silent for a long, long time.
Finally, Silver Dragon Edie suddenly let out a great roar.
This startled some of the Demon Beasts working below the city.
Silver Dragon Edie paid them no mind, her gaze suddenly firming as she looked at Angelina.
"No matter what the Dragon Race’s situation is, at least His Highness is still here. He is our hope!"
"Angelina, I’ve decided! I must do something for our world, for our Dragon Race. For example, right now, maybe we should do our best to follow His Highness’s arrangements and complete everything he has tasked us with."
"I believe that everything His Highness does is for our world, just like how we were able to come to this world now!"
Angelina looked at the suddenly invigorated Silver Dragon Edie, giving her a startled glance.
Then, she gave a rare smile.
"Yes. We really should be doing something."
"As for His Highness, his Power is completely beyond our reach right now. But we have things we can do too, like helping His Highness sweep this world clean first?"
Angelina and Edie exchanged a look, and finally, both of them relaxed and laughed.
However, not long after, a High Tier Flying Magical Beast suddenly flew up before them.
"His Highness summons us?"
"He wants us to return to the Outer Mountain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range? What?"
The two exchanged a glance, both looking a little puzzled.
But no matter their confusion, they both immediately rushed back toward Dawn City, and quickly passed through the Gate of Truth to return to the Wilderness Territory.
It didn’t take them long to travel from the Wilderness to the Outer Mountain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Soon, they saw it.
In that familiar territory of the Demon Beast Mountain Range’s Outer Mountain, a behemoth stood, its raised head as tall as the entire Outer Mountain itself.
And below him, Earth Dragon Amos and Red Dragon Crimson, along with a group of Little Sub-dragons, were gathered around him.
