Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 1006 - 491: Journey to the Abyss in Search of the Dragon Emperors, Florecia’s Disappearance, Villains Assemble (4k)_2
Luo Xi was different; having had the experience of ascending from the bottom before, Bahamut knew Luo Xi could definitely hold on.
After mulling it over in her heart for a long time, Luo Xi finally made a decision.
"Then, Ressia Mama, you wait here for me. I don’t know when I will be back, so you must not leave this place."
"Mmmhm!"
Florecia nodded vigorously, then asked with concern,
"Where exactly are you going, Little Luo Xi?"
"To borrow something from ’people.’"
Luo Xi pretended to smile lightly.
She was just going to ask those mythical giant dragons for a little bit of strength.
They should agree, right?
"Lord The Black Dragon Emperor, I’m troubling you," Luo Xi said to the Black Dragon Lady.
"Mmm."
Immediately, a terrifying, furious wind began to blow out from Bahamut, forming a closed-off barrier around the cabin.
Bahamut’s humanoid body dissipated into specks of light, and then a giant dragon, tens of meters in size, soared into the sky, clutching Luo Xi as it dashed towards the heavens.
Florecia and Mu Yu stood there dumbfounded, their heads raised for a long time without lowering.
That Sister Mu... was actually a dragon?
And before Luo Xi was taken away, she called her ’Lord The Black Dragon Emperor’?
Florecia felt like her head was going to explode.
That was a mythical giant dragon of legend; why would it appear beside them, behaving like a high-society girlfriend from a big family?
After being in a daze, Mu Yu realized that something might have been done around this cabin.
She walked to the door, looked at the semi-transparent black membrane in front of her, touched it with her hand, then mustered her courage and walked out.
In the blink of an eye, she found herself back in the center of the cabin, by Florecia’s side.
·
The High Sky region.
On Bahamut’s back.
Luo Xi squatted, watching the Black Dragon take her into an area that commoners could not enter.
In the future, at some point, he had also come here on an airship with Cat Cat, and they were immobilized; if not for the Black Dragon’s aid, they wouldn’t have known how to get down.
Of course, now Luo Xi knew that even if Bahamut hadn’t come that time, the Damn Text wouldn’t have just watched them hanging in the sky.
Below, the Black Dragon’s voice reached up.
"Although your appearance is indeed a miracle, are you sure you can obtain strength from them? I saw you struggling a bit just now while absorbing my strength."
"Mmm."
Luo Xi nodded.
"Then you have to mentally prepare yourself; it’s going to take quite a while. The Abyss is the buffer zone at the border of our world and the Void. Not long ago, Zi Shui and Tide were destroyed, creating many rifts in the Abyss, causing Little Red and Xiao Bai to work in different regions. They won’t come to us voluntarily, so if we look for them one by one, several months would pass in the blink of an eye."
"Can’t you speed it up?"
"It can’t be done any faster. Even when I ascended to bring you up here, despite the ’buoyancy,’ it was quite the struggle. Going down won’t work; the deeper we go, the greater the resistance, so we must take it slowly."
Bahamut was not deceiving Luo Xi.
For Luo Xi to meet the other Dragon Emperors, she would need at least three months even if she searched non-stop because aside from Isla, who was always sleeping in Grey Dream’s world, both Xiao Bai and Little Red were now dispersed at the bottom of the Abyss.
With Zi Shui and Tide gone, the pressure brought upon the bottom layer of this world forced them to work overtime frantically, and it wouldn’t take long before she had to go back and help.
"Let’s just do it as quickly as possible."
"I know. I’ll definitely send you back before the Lord of the Country candidate day."
"Wouldn’t that be seven or eight months?"
"Not that slow, maybe three to four months."
"Dragon Emperor, I have a question; is there really no way for The Red Dragon Emperor to turn Florecia back into a normal human?"
"It can’t be done; I’ve already said, extracting that blood factor is simple, but making her survive is difficult."
"..."
The Black Dragon suddenly said, "You, young man, like her, don’t you?"
"It’s not what you’re thinking."
"Oh?"
"Yes, I do like her. Who wouldn’t like a girl who is wholeheartedly dedicated to you?"
"Then why are you still—"
"She can’t accept who I am now,"
Luo Xi fell silent for a moment, then said, "At the same time, I can’t figure out in my heart whether the her of this era or the her of that future, which one is Florecia? Are they the same person? Is it possible that the Florecia of this era might die, and the one in the future is her reborn..."
Even though Luo Xi had first gotten to know the future Dragon Mama, after spending so much time with the Florecia of this era, he didn’t want to see her die either.
When humans mutate into Origin Beasts and their humanity is overshadowed by their bestial nature, can they still be considered human?
After all, not everyone is him, having gods as their backing, possessing a strange soul that even the gods can’t comprehend.
The Black Dragon conveyed an irritated tone, "You humans are such a pain. If you ask me, if you like her, just go for it. Why think so much? It will only add to your worries."
"But..."
"No buts, I’m tired of discussing your personal issues. Are you ready? I’m going to start descending. The first few tier levels will be quite rapid, but as we go deeper, it will get slower. Prepare yourself mentally."
"Oh..."
Bahamut had no interest in discussing these human emotional problems with Luo Xi.
In her long life, due to her authoritative traits, she struggled to communicate well with normal people. Although some of her companions had developed special feelings with humans, the outcomes were never very good.
Eight thousand years seemed like a long time to humans, but to her, it was just okay.
However, after descending for a period of time, perhaps feeling that what she had said earlier was a bit harsh, Bahamut communicated, "Why would you think that once Florecia completes her transformation through Dragonization, she wouldn’t be the her now? Since ancient times, the blood path has always been difficult, and all those who underwent it chose this ’ultimate path’ to become stronger. But as long as her memories remain, then she is still her. Whether it is soul sublimation or physical transformation, as long as she doesn’t lose those unique memories, you should be happy for her becoming stronger."
...
Tirsiu Calendar, September 19th.
It had been over two months since Luo Xi left.
Florecia counted the days, idly stroking the little Dragon Horn on her head, sprawled listlessly across the stone table in the courtyard.
Behind her, a small Dragon Tail was visible, extending from the base of her spine, swaying leisurely, its red scales glistening like rubies.
"Ah, I wonder what Little Luo Xi will think if he sees it when he comes back... Will he hate me?"
Florecia looked at her tail with worry.
She didn’t know when this tail had grown out overnight, ruining a bunch of her pretty clothes.
Suddenly, she saw a number appear at the tip of her tail.
07.
"A candidate number for Lord of the Country?"
The girl couldn’t believe it.
This was the sequence number once held by her brother, Reyceria, when he was a candidate for Lord of the Country. She had seen it more than once, so it was deeply ingrained in her memory.
Reyceria was killed by her, his body reduced to pieces; logically, the sequence number should have disappeared.
Why did it appear on her?
Moreover, as a Mutant Patient, why would the Eternal World Tree choose her?
Florecia stood up, intending to examine the number on her tail.
In an instant, the world seemed to spin around her.
"Miss, it’s time for dinner."
Mu Yu, carrying a plate of food, came out from the room, only to search for a long time without finding Florecia.
Cold sweat broke out behind the maid’s back.
No, where had the missus gone?
-
In one of the Golden City’s David City, the city of coppery purple,
Two groups of people stood up from the negotiation table after reaching an agreement and shook hands.
"Pleasure doing business?"
"Pleasure doing business. True believers of the Lord of Truth get things done swiftly." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Both leaders smiled insincerely.
One group wore grey-black coats with a double pupil pattern, strangers to most.
If Luo Xi were here, he would have recognized them as those Shadow merchants.
The other group belonged to the Church of Truth.
"So, let’s start from this city, our first cooperation."
"For the eternal truth."
"To bring about the day this world ends."
