175. Chapter 175 – Strong Force

Chapter 175 – Strong Power
At the first moment when the [Tiamat’s Guardian] appeared abnormal, David, who was originally still shocked by the might of Mother Dragon, instantly became suspicious and wanted to try to continue to get in touch with Mother Dragon:
“Mother, if you’re threatened by the Five-Colored Dragon Queen, just squeak?”

David, who had once briefly dealt with that Five-Colored Dragon Queen in the Dark Territory, had some understanding of Tiamat.

That was that although this Dragon Queen was generous and might let you make a small profit, she would never lose money, and especially not do a losing deal.

But the dragon mother’s communication with him had broken down long ago, and even if it hadn’t, Pavla’s nature would never show him weakness.

Unable to rest assured, David immediately threw Zorciat with his claws, and then turned on the ‘Sky Comet Mode’ toward the direction of the explosion on the coast and roared away.

Soon, his fears were realized!
A breath that gave him the creeps suddenly descended.

That instant jingoistic feeling as if he was in a battlefield!
Oh no! The God of War had descended!

In that instant David didn’t care about the cost of unleashing the divine power spell seal, gripping heavily on his right clawed wrist, he tried to summon the descent of the Dragon God Tiamat’s will once again.

Only unfortunately, this time there was absolutely no response at all.

So much so that Davy, who instantly had a feeling of being cheated, [Rage] broke out in curses:
“Tiamat! What the hell are you up to?!!!”

If this was a long premeditated war between the gods, then the mother caught in between .
And as he hurried along in full force in ‘Sky Comet’ mode, the moment he saw everything that had happened on the old continent’s Scannis Coast, it seemed that he had finally vaguely guessed what Tiamat was trying to do.

“You guys are really fishing here?” David muttered, and only the word ‘fishing’ could barely describe what he could see in front of his eyes right now.

The clear blue sky, which had originally been blasted cloudless by Mother Dragon’s ‘Magic Energy Fission Spit’, had a clear dividing line appearing with the legendary red dragon suspended in mid-air as the center.

On the other side of that golden-red shore, terraces and lone peaks towered over the surface covered with the Sharp Sound Battlefield and the Orc’s Earth, extending to the end of the line of sight.

That was the Warrior’s Sleep, the divine kingdom of the God of War, Tempus.

The warriors who should be permanently at war with each other are all looking like they are on the verge of an enemy, pulling at something like a slender man.

In the distance, a large number of titans were coming this way.

There were even Gisthereans gathering troops from that chaotic cluster of monasteries.

And on either side of those angry eyes of the clear sky were the scheming ladies who had built the Permanent Fortress and the Crimson Tower in the Warrior’s Sleep.

The Father of Battle, Ushija, who controls the domain of Ushijadat;
Karejus, the Marauder known as the Battle Guard;
and Velkor, the General of the Waves, who controls the Edge Waters.

And in the scarlet sky slowly appearing in the direction of the Old Continent, there is the iconic evil scale fortress of the five-colored dragon queen, as well as the runic stone pillars that look like peaks towering straight up to the sky, shooting out endless obscene and evil light.

Countless five-colored dragons and Abyssinian dragons took off from the wall, filling the sky, and soon seemed to be holding something in their mouths, pulling back.

Beyond the Evil Scale Fortress, on the Avernus Wasteland outside the bronze fortress that spanned the Dragon Cliff and Maggot’s Den, the Devil Archduke Bail of the first level of Batou Hell and the Eight Dark Demon Generals waved their troops to withdraw, and countless unseen demons actually climbed along the demonic cranial pillars outside the city and even the invisible bridges on the upper gables towards the high altitude, towards the Divine Kingdom Demarcation Line.

Even though there were demons being pushed down like rain every moment, these demons were still climbing and charging persistently and maniacally under the murmuring and whispering of the abyssal will.

It was as if the unattainable shore was their ultimate journey.

That was the lifelong prayer of the countless demons of the bottomless abyss, to fight out of the bottomless abyss again! To ignite the flames of war and chaos in this multiverse of realms.

But he didn’t even know that he had already been reduced to cannon fodder under a deal between Tiamat and Grand Duke Bayer of Avernus.

Because the God of War’s divine kingdom has entered the lower realms, Tiamat and Bail’s operation of leading the demons upwards and deflecting the battlefield of the bloody war is not considered to be a violation of the original agreement signed between the Lord of the Nine Prisons, Asmodeus, and the Gods of Dawn, and at the same time, it does alleviate the pressure of the defense of the bronze fortress outside of Batou Hell, which has been under passive defense for countless years.

This was something that both sides were happy to see.

“Wait..! Why would a god of war crash into the lower realms?”

Gradually, and I don’t know if it was because Davey was barely leaning in closer or because of the influence of the wisp of divinity that remained, Davey finally saw what it was that they were fighting back and forth about.

They were supposed to be spirits that returned to the War God’s Hall of Valor after death.

At the moment, they were reduced to dead souls that were stacked up by the pillars of faith.

The divinity of the God of War’s Hall of Spirits had been stolen by himself for ten years, and during those ten years, more than half of the dead souls had no place to return to, and fell into the River Styx as they were drawn into David’s sleep with the Warriors.

These dead souls were salvaged by the demons under Bail’s command in the River Styx, and under the deal with Tiamat, and under the pull of David’s lending the divinity of the Hall of Spirits, a chain of beliefs composed of the fallen followers of the God of War from an unknown number of realms was formed in front of his eyes.

In the beginning, it was the five lines pulled by the five-colored dragon queen, gradually, these lines of faith became more and more, more and more dense, like a net, a net of intrigue woven in the pitch-black depths.

Net?
For some reason, David suddenly remembered the owner of that wild and treacherous voice in the dark territory
“Groove! He’s in on it too!?”

“Rose!!!” The extremely angry War God Tempus had already shouted out His name through gritted teeth.

Rose, synonymous with chaos, darkness, destruction, evil and trickery.

At that moment, David finally drifted off as an afterthought, a wisp of an image that was hard to recall due to the difference in dimensions, being in the realm of the Pantheon, finally came back to him.

At the same time, he finally realized why Tempus was so angry.

He had been ‘acted out’ by Tiamat along with Rose, the two goddesses.

Tampas only knew that his divinity had been stolen to the lower realms, but it was difficult to determine the real plot weaver behind the scenes.

David, who was both in and out of the situation, was somewhat confused.

Because he didn’t know whether the conspiracy of these two goddesses was a tacit understanding and watertight, or whether it had begun much earlier.

Or even, perhaps, it had begun at the time of the Spider’s Nest City?

After all, what Rose had shown at that time could not be considered ‘treachery’ and ‘trickery’, the only thing that was true was that anger.

So much so that for a certain period of time, David had even begun to somewhat despise this goddess who was known for her intrigue and betrayal.

However, the spider goddess Rose, whose name was called out, was only hidden in the bottomless abyss in the pit that belonged to her magic web, letting out bursts of evil and joyful laughter, and did not have the intention of striking out immediately, but instead was like a yellow finch gawking at the side.

Already touched the God’s country began to border, that silent collision, fell in David’s ears is deafening, God’s power collision of the terrible aftermath is so that he simply can not get close to, and even by the invisible and silent tsunami of God’s power more and more pushed farther and farther.

The countless demon armies acting as cannon fodder have already gone along the ‘bridge of evil spirits’ towards the God of War Tampax’s divine kingdom to charge and kill.

The five-colored dragon believers who had also completed the divine country’s reception roared and rose up in the air with their wings spread out, facing the weaving rain of arrows and throwing spears to sprinkle various colors of dragon’s breath towards the sea-like army formation of the Warrior’s Sleep.

This should have been a picture that would have shaken the dragons to their core, but at this moment David was not interested in appreciating it.

“Mother!” Davy hissed with all his might as he noticed something unusual about his dragon mother, Pavla.

The legendary red dragon hovering between the borders of this divine kingdom was seeping blood between its scales.

This was ultimately the battlefield of the gods, and even if it had barely borrowed the wisp of divinity stolen from Davy, it was still only a dragon of mortal life.

How could a mortal dragon participate in a competition between gods?

It was not until this moment that David realized what his ‘mother’, Pavla, had done and what she was doing.

David’s heart was filled with a mixture of emotions, an unspeakable and powerless feeling.

But at this moment, he seemed to be unable to do anything.

“Ai.” A sigh seemed to ring in David’s ears.

“Mom?” Davie looked up in shock, only Pavla, who was in the center of the battlefield, didn’t seem to be looking right at her, as if she was secretly talking to one of his dragons.

Pavela was silent for a long time, and didn’t seem to be very good at expressing herself before she finally spoke:

“I knew this would happen, that’s why I didn’t want to talk to you earlier.”

“.” David said in his heart that saying such words at such a time, mom, aren’t you hurting the dragon a little too much. “Don’t feel bad and sad about the upcoming parting, it’s not like I’m doing it for you, at least, not all of it.”

Parting?

The word that struck David with vague fear sent a shiver through him.

But that was for me after all, wasn’t it?
Davey opened his mouth, but it stuck in his throat.

In this world, perhaps Pavla, the Dragon Mother, was the only being he had ever felt sorry for or owed anything to.

Not to mention the almost unconditional shelter back then, the most crucial thing was that David always had a secret in his heart that he couldn’t tell the other party.

That is.
“I actually know that you’re not really my child, at least, not in spirit.”

The secret that the Dragon Mother suddenly opened her mouth to reveal made Davey nearly fall headfirst through the air.

Crap! She actually knew! How did she know? And how did she know it!

“You must be wondering how I know now aren’t you? Hmph.”

Nima! No, you couldn’t have put some kind of ‘surveillance’ on me!
“Still think I’ve mostly spied on you, not bad, the entire territory area is actually under my magical surveillance, all those little moves you made back then were actually seen by me.

“More precisely, back then, when you just appeared in my egg, I detected that something was wrong, and even more so, I sifted through your dreams, and this, in turn, opened the door to a new world for me.

“If you’re angry about that that’s as it should be, I’m sorry, whoever made me really bored at the time.

“I don’t know if I ever told Tania, or at least I don’t think I told you, that I was actually a strip hatched and raised by a brass dragon.

“You raised a brass dragon back in the day, and you should know how noisy they really are and how much they drive dragons crazy.

“So whenever my mom started nagging at me and being bombarded with information, well, I think that’s the right way to use it, whenever that happened, and at that time, and being powerless to run away, I had to focus my attention on something else, at first it was reading the Dragon’s Inheritance, and then when the Dragon’s Inheritance was finished, I could only learn about magic and martial arts.

“And this habit was maintained even after I was able to live on my own, so once the dragon egg was born, the amount of unconventional information carried in that egg of yours immediately caught my attention, and then inevitably fell deeper into it”

Up until this moment, David, who had been bombarded with ‘information’ from his dragon mom, had believed near-firsthand the claim that she had been raised by a brass dragon.

The average red dragon wasn’t this articulate . Or at such a critical time.

At the same time, he finally realized where Tania’s usual sentences that gave him a strong sense of vestiges came from.

So much so that at one point in his youth he had thought that there was always a traveling companion between his dragon mother and his dragon sister.

Hearing these words from his dragon mom, David finally released himself and hurriedly changed the topic:

“Mom, now is not the time to talk about this, is there any other way for me to save you? For example, through the five-colored dragon queen sire.”

“Hm? Why do you want to save me? Aren’t I alive and well? Just telling you a little secret before I leave.”

“Huh?” David felt like he was going crazy talking to this ‘stuffy’ brass dragon foster son, according to the situation at hand aren’t you about to die?
“Well, after all that, I just want to say to you, my child, David Eutaw, you don’t need to feel bad about it, the birth of you and Tanya was just an accident in my dragon life, and this accident opened a new window for my boring dragon life, to see a brand new world, and to know that our destiny isn’t fixed and linear, but a wilderness of infinite possibilities. Instead, it is a wilderness of infinite possibilities.

“And our dragon’s consciousness was originally born from a piece of information, from this perspective, you may, but also from that piece of information re-surfaced.

“What’s more, you, like Tania, have called me mother, and I, too, have done my duty of parental nurturing and shelter.

“So, Davyutos, you, are my child, even though at one point I resented you for breathing fire out of your ass.”

Davy was going crazy, “Can we not mention this anymore?”

“You see, you’re hiding a secret from me, and I’m hiding it from you.

“Now, we’re even.”

Listening to the déjà vu filled with a sense of vestigial chicken soup for the soul, David inexplicably felt a sense of crying and laughter, and his chest was filled with a strange feeling of emotion:

“Yes, we’re tied, Mom.”

“But since you’re here all the time, it seems like I have another option.” Pavla said so.

“What option?” Davey asked.

“Davyutos, my son, will you be my first and only, perhaps the only two, well, maybe the only three, believers?”

“A believer, a believer? You. You’re going to ascend to godhood?” David was outright shocked!
This was another possibility that he had never thought of.

Nima! You’ve only been a Legend for how many years, and this is directly ascending to God?

As a result, he heard Pavela’s rather annoyed Versailles say:

“What’s so strange about being a god? What’s so strange about it, Tiamat’s aunt was waiting for me to become her slave god a hundred years ago, if it wasn’t for a bunch of ‘shit-stirrers’ disturbing my slumber back then, I wouldn’t even want to enter the Legendary Heavenly Fate, because the higher I ascend, the tighter I’m tied to Tiamat, and you don’t know how annoying that old woman is, she has to preach to me in my dreams even when I sleep. Preaching.”

“.” David was suddenly tempted to snitch on his mom, was it possible that Tiamat was secretly preaching in his dreams too?

He took a deep breath, then said:

“It would be an honor, Mom, just, what concept are you going to choose to ascend to God?”

It was important to realize that the vast majority of divine concepts had already been divided up by the gods of this world.

“Well, I’ll go with powerful.”

“But there are many strong concepts, so I need to recommend a few etc… Strong force? You mean, it wouldn’t be the strong interaction force in physics, would it?”

Until this moment, David seemed to finally understand how his own mom’s anticlimactic dragon breath, which was comparable to a hydrogen bomb explosion, came about.

“Yes, it’s that strong force, but there’s a problem I may have to rely on you to solve.”

“What?”

“The two worlds have different microscopic underlying frameworks, and the cosmological constants are also somewhat different, under the data cannot be accurately deduced to completion, with the current me not being able to ascend to godhood with ‘Powerful’, I can only settle for an easier one, but with you here, we, might be able to try to forcefully complete this last step directly. That is. Son Smash, you help me search for it.”

“Good.” Davey cried a little.

Sure enough, it was still necessary to rely on his power of I Seek Thought – [Arrogance] ah.

“Thanks.” Pavela said with a bit of a twist.

“. You’re welcome.”

Before Davey could ask exactly how, along with his agreement, he felt himself being yanked right over by his own mom.

And this time, through the connection between the two borrowed divinity, they directly bypassed the Dragon God Tiamat.

“Pavla! What are you doing?” But this could not necessarily be hidden from Tiamat, who was the deity of his faith.

But Tiamat, even if he found out, still couldn’t stop it, or rather, couldn’t stop it at this juncture.

Pavla’s ascension to godhood was already in His plans.

The only ‘bait’ that had been used up was David.

It was not expected.
