Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Chapter 553 Bloody Scales 'Thor' Thor

Below the poisonous spring, the water is clear and traceless.

All the way inside, underground of the Nibelung, the Dragon Mother's speed was even faster than Zeus.

It dived rapidly, maintaining its original shape at first, but gradually, a huge shadow replaced the dragon wings on its back.

Hidden in the water, the body of the god is still thousands of feet tall even without stretching out. Two dragon heads of different colors patrol the surroundings, and there are three more bulges on the shoulders that have not grown yet.

This is the true form of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen, and it is also her most powerful state.

After all, the Dragon Queen, who was born from a dragon egg in a foreign land, is not Chaos's spirit, and her true power does not come from the granting of divine office.

A bit of the thin origin flows in her bones, but more of it is entrusted to the ethnic group she reproduces in a way that exists and yet seems non-existent.

It works in a different way without interfering with the spirit of the person in charge.

The dragon's wings vibrated. The poisonous springs that corroded living things around her could not destroy the scales on the Dragon Mother's body. These ownerless forces were even being absorbed by her bit by bit.

The huge vertical pupils followed the direction of the sacred spring, allowing the Dragon Mother to quickly approach the finish line.

This is another characteristic of the bloodline path. Since the source power is not confined by the laws of the world in the form of priesthood, if one does not want the power to infect the spirit and reason, one must choose another solution.

Therefore, the source of blood turns the bloodline into a big net, turns the existence of the race in the world into a barrier, and finally places the source power in an elusive place that is almost like the source sea, so as to avoid all kinds of drawbacks.

Undoubtedly, this is an effective solution. Although it also has many other problems, it is already very good in comparison.

After all, the gods of Chaos hold the priesthood, so the power is at the mercy of the laws of the world; although the gods of the Nine Realms and Hermeneus can hold power in their hands, they dare not merge with it, as they may not only be seized by others, but also age and die.

Almost every way of becoming a god has various advantages and disadvantages. One either relies on the gift of the outside world to cut off the influence of the source of power, or constructs a barrier by oneself to isolate the connection between the two.

It is difficult to determine the pros and cons of either, it just depends on the similarities and differences in each person's ideas.

……

wow...

As we dived deeper, we gradually saw some green light surrounding the poisonous spring.

That was because the poisonous power was too refined, and even caused this authority that had never appeared in Chaos' past to reveal some traces of fragments of laws.

Greedily absorbing the power from all around, the bulges on the shoulders and necks of the two giant dragons jumped slightly.

Having arrived here, we are approaching the end of this journey.

Gradually slowing down, the Dragon Mother needs to wait for the signal from the other side.

Only by squeezing the source of the sacred spring with divine power from both sides at the same time can the two separated springs be united again.

Since Zeus hasn't arrived yet, she can't arrive first.

So the Dragon Mother had to wait quietly and wander around at the bottom of the spring.

But as time slowly passed, a hint of hesitation flashed in the pupils of the huge dragon head.

On the one hand, it was naturally because of Zeus. Logically speaking, even if the other party was a little slower, he should have arrived long ago. He shouldn't have been so late.

Of course, this is not a big deal, it's just a matter of waiting a little longer.

But on the other hand, the Mother of Dragons had to pay attention.

"what is that?"

The vertical pupils flashed with golden light, and could be seen clearly even at an unknown depth of tens of thousands of feet underground.

However, at the bottom of this poisonous spring, the Dragon Mother unexpectedly discovered something that should not have been here.

It was a scale, and the black scales were stained with traces of blood. From the traces on it, it seemed that it had been pierced by some extremely terrifying force.

And that power seemed to be permanent. Even though the scales had long been separated from their owner's body, they were still unable to escape its pursuit.

It's just that too much time has passed, or perhaps this power has been erased by the laws of the abyss.

In short, in the poisonous spring today, this scale no longer has the power to break it.

Only the Mother of Dragons looked at the bloodstained black scale and felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of her heart.

"... [Nibelungen], at the bottom of the poisonous spring."

"As the realm of the abyss, there is no shortage of beings that can ignore the toxicity of the poisonous spring."

"But for some reason, I can't sense any powerful demons from this level, not even a secondary lord... If this is not a coincidence, then the only explanation is that this is actually a level in Tartarus that is not open to the public."

A hint of solemnity flashed across her vertical pupils, which were as tall as a person. The Dragon Mother had guessed that this place was not open to the public since she first entered this place.

After all, it is understandable that a plane does not have a unified lord, but the current situation in [Nibelungen] is really too desolate.

Not to mention the lesser lords with the mark, the Mother of Dragons didn't even see any demons with local characteristics of the interface during the entire journey. This was a bit unreasonable.

You must know that although the laws of the abyss are not yet complete and there is no unified rule for the birth of demons, crazy and bloodthirsty figures can be seen on basically all levels, big and small, the only difference is the number and type.

Therefore, if we exclude all speculations with almost zero probability, the only possibility is that this layer of interface has not been opened at all, and naturally no demons were born.

"The abyss interface is vast and endless. I can see no less than a thousand marks on the secondary lords alone."

"But correspondingly, these levels are not adjacent to each other. Each serial number has a corresponding level."

"The number of the interface only reflects its 'depth' in the abyssal space. In reality, it is very likely that there are no interfaces of the other four levels between [110] and [115]. There is only a vast expanse of nothingness."

"Or perhaps there are levels within it, but because the order within it is not yet complete, and the laws are not stable and could be destroyed at any time, it is temporarily isolated by the laws of the abyss."

"Even beyond that, the lord used the authority of the interface to hide himself and gave up contact with the outside world; Tartarus' will covered it for some reason and did not allow other demons to enter... There are countless such things."

"And [Nibelungen] is probably such an interface. Although it is clearly visible to me, in the eyes of other demon lords, it is probably just a blank void. There is no such abyss at all!"

After thinking silently, many of the Dragon Mother's doubts were resolved.

Just like she had an inexplicable feeling for this place, it was very likely that this attraction was not one-way. And it was precisely because of this attraction that she naturally sensed this abyss in the secondary lord's mark.

If not, passing by without recognizing it might be the only result...but if so, who left this black scale?

The local dragon mother had never seen one before, and even if she could, it would be impossible for her to penetrate into the poisonous spring. Moreover, even the bloodstains on her scales could ignore the erosion of the poisonous spring.

This level of power is not even comparable to what she can compare to at the moment. Without the protection of scales, the Dragon Mother's flesh and blood will be corroded by the poisonous springs here.

Each scale represented a powerful and unknown creature. And most importantly, the mysterious attraction might have come from this.

His eyes shifted constantly, and his huge dragon claws clenched slightly.

Looking at the blood on the scales, a desire surged in her heart, but the Mother of Dragons quickly suppressed this instinct.

This looked like a trap, and she didn't need to touch something of unknown origin. However, even though she thought so, she didn't know why she felt a little hesitant in her heart.

Suddenly, at the bottom of this uninhabited poison spring, there seemed to be a voice speaking in her heart. If you give up contacting it today, you may become the mother of dragons that roam the world, and become a strange beast that all gods fear.

But you will never have the chance to go one step further, to cover the sky with your wings, to make the sea stop before you.

The realm of great divine power is a natural chasm that cannot be traversed by following the rules. If you give up your chance today, you may never have the chance to see it again until the day you die.

"Ha ha……"

"This is really becoming more and more like a trap."

A low roar resonated under the water, but the huge dragon's mouth bent into an arc.

With a slight movement of her mind, the Dragon Mother sensed that there was a pitch-black crystal hidden between the gaps of a scale on her chest.

That was something the Dark Lord gave her before he left. Hidden in it was a trace of the will of the primordial god, but in order to avoid being noticed by Tartarus, he chose to isolate himself and completely cut off contact with the outside world.

And it is also another mission of the Dragon Mother's trip - but in her view, it is also an alternative amulet.

Activating it early would mean the mission failed, and he might even be noticed by the Abyss Will, which would directly deprive him of his originally granted lord status. But no matter what, if his life was threatened, he would naturally have to save it first.

The Dragon Mother guessed that the Olympian god probably had similar methods, and the previous tests seemed to prove this.

"So the question now is, which is greater, the risk and consequences of mission failure or the potential benefits I can gain?"

"And do I...need to take this gamble?"

No answer is given, nor does it need to be given.

The huge dragon's eyes were hot and cold. She stared at the small scale without any hesitation.

Faced with such a choice, others might think about it, but a natural evil god would not.

As long as she doesn't die...there is nothing she can't do.

······

total darkness.

It was as if I was trapped in an eternal night without starlight. My thoughts were paralyzed and I felt only a cold touch.

Light and shadow flow, the void changes, and the concept of time becomes blurred.

It seemed like one day, and it seemed like ten thousand years. At a certain moment, in the boundless darkness, Zeus seemed to see a ray of light.

In this fragment of memory, the incarnation's will is like a piece of duckweed, and can only go with the flow...

"Ho-"

I suddenly opened my eyes, the darkness faded away, and everything around me came into view again.

Tall trees covered the sky, and mottled light and shadows shone through the treetops.

Feeling that the light that had been lost and regained was a bit dazzling, Zeus subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block it, but in the end he did nothing.

His body seemed to have its own logic of action and did not move according to his thoughts at all.

"Is this the same as last time... Taking over a person's identity in the fragments of memory and watching the past from his perspective?"

"It seems to be good... so the question is, now, who am I?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and with the help of this existence's gaze, the God King silently observed his surroundings.

Not long ago, he was still exploring in the abyss. But with the movement in the depths of his memory, the God King finally chose to explore its changes first.

It doesn't matter whether the dragoness will come sooner or later, so let her wait for a while... However, while sensing the state of this body and exploring this strange place according to the other party's perception, Zeus actually felt a little familiar for some reason.

There were tall woodlands beside me, and the sun was faintly shining in the sky. But these seemed to be just a small part of the place. In the distance, there was no light or plants, only fog and cold.

The laws of all things seemed dry and decaying, only the divine power in the body sent waves of warmth - and this was another thing that surprised Zeus, because this body seemed to be the same as himself, a god in charge of "thunder".

"Thunder... According to the documents recorded in Asgard, this is the son of the foreign god king, 'Thor', the god of thunder... "

His heart was slightly shaken. In this strange body, Zeus actually felt a thunder power that was even more powerful than his own.

Although as a mere god of thunder, Zeus had not set foot in the realm of great divine power, this was enough to shock him.

This level of power has already surpassed the limits of powerful divine power. Just like Oceanus standing on the sea with the help of his wife, he is almost invincible in the realm below greatness.

And to be able to reach this point without any external support... maybe this is what the [Sky] of the first generation God King was like.

It's not a great divine power, but it seems that with the rise of world power, no one can be sure that he will not have the opportunity to take that step.

In contrast, Zeus himself never felt this way in his ministry.

"…It's just that the world is different."

"Maybe it's just because lightning is more important in their world, while our world values ​​theocean, sun, and life more."

He silently comforted himself. Fortunately, Zeus had been promoted with the help of [royal power], so he was able to take it easy.

If you can’t win, then so be it. No matter how strong the opponent’s [Thunder] is, can it be able to defeat his royal power?
