Chapter 107: Supreme Dragons
"What are you trying to say, Mum?"
Nyx shook her head at Moros' question and then said, "The Supreme Dragons were created by Chaos as our protectors. Guardians of the tower. Most of them used to live their own lives inside the tower, but when my father wanted them to fulfil their guardian duties, they forbade their kind from living inside the tower."
Everyone seemed even more confused. At that moment, Erebus tapped Nyx on the shoulder and said, "You're making it too complicated, my dear." He stopped Nyx and began to speak:
"In a way, our father created them to keep the other creators from touching the tower. Of course, Chaos himself is the one who created the other creators, but he's a bit...Cough...He's lazy, so it was easier for him to create others instead of protecting things himself, someone who could compete with the power of the creators, the Supreme Dragons."
He paused for a few seconds and then said, "Just as Nyx had said, the Supreme Dragons had banned their kind from entering the tower to prevent any attempt at dominance. By their very nature, the eggs from their matings would give birth to a creature according to the potential of the person who raised them."
Hearing this, Hades was surprised and said, "So you are saying that.....James' potential is enough to create a Supreme Dragon with the mana contained in the egg?"
Erebus shook his head when he heard these words and said, "It was Nyx and me who gave the egg to Moros, as a birthday present, after all, our child is a mystical monster fan, so it was necessary to make him happy, we simply asked two Supreme Dragon to make us one.
He gave James a gift, the hatching process of the egg was very different from normal, the only thing that could bend reality in any sense of the word was the eggs of the Supreme Dragons."
"I thought I found the egg myself?" Moros said in surprise, and Nyx turned to him and said, "Really? You thought you found a Supreme Dragon egg?", Moros shook his head sheepishly and fell silent, and then Erebus continued.
"During incubation, the egg takes on the energy of its caretaker, moulded by the attack patterns and elements it uses, in short, that's how potential is measured. Then the egg owner is expected to find a mate just like Supreme Dragons, someone they can love and protect with their life, even if the egg does not hatch until then, even if it has an incubation period of 100%.
The Supreme Dragon's magic, mana energy, binds the pair together and the three of them can sense when one of them is in danger or well, a very nice feature if you ask me."
"So the egg was ready to hatch when James accepted Nemesis and wanted to claim her for himself?" Apate asked.
"Exactly, James may not have realised it, but the incubation period must have been incredibly close to completion and the egg hatched on the mountain, and what came out of it must have been a Supreme Dragon. A race that hasn't emerged in millions of years, a member of the blessed race that even outside the tower there is only a handful left," Erebus replied.
"This is what Supreme Dragons are all about. They are known as the most perfect race created by the Creator, their beauty, their power, and even their function, sad as it may be, must be admitted...more perfect than me and Nyx." Erebus added, and with that, the entire hall fell silent.
After a few seconds, Moros shook his head and then said, "Then I'm glad I gifted the egg to James, I am, if such a huge mana energy was released, then the dragon is fighting, and James' life might have been saved..."
When Nyx heard Moros' words, she stood up and walked down the stairs in front of the throne, stroked her son's cheek and kissed him on the forehead. "I'm proud of you, my son, for not letting jealousy get a foothold in your heart and instead being happy about James, well done," she smiled and then added, "Connect to Ariel, we need to see what's going on, even from a distance."
Moros nodded his head and immediately connected to Ariel to see what she was seeing and the whole hall began to watch intently.
The lightning that was flashing all around the mountain was a perfect yet frightening sight, the sudden blizzard that had suddenly appeared had begun to cover the mountain in a strange vapour, and nothing could be seen.
"James!" Ariel screamed suddenly, only to realise that the worry in Nemesis' eyes had dissipated.
"He's fine...I can feel it...somehow..." Nemesis said suddenly and those who heard it were stunned, it was clear that no one knew what was going on.
James could barely open his eyes because of the ice dust that was in the air at the time.
"ARE YOU OK, GIRL?!" he shouted, and suddenly he saw golden eyes staring at him.
He fell to the ground in fright and then hugged the little girl, smiling as if he was so glad that she was safe. James looked very relieved indeed.
It was at that moment that James realised that his back was getting wet, a warm sensation had touched his clothes and felt even on the Adamant Armour.
James stopped hugging the girl and looked at her hand and saw that it was bleeding profusely from the attack, he instantly took out the highest level health potion from his inventory and gave it to her, and with that, her hand was healed.
James patted her on the head and was able to relax for a few seconds, at which point he felt something coming at them and jumped to the left, embracing her.
As the ice dust fell back to the ground, the incoming attack was obvious, the Fallen God seemed to be looking at James rather nervously.
James smiled as he looked carefully at the Fallen God, the Fallen God was missing an arm and his whole body was covered in blood, it seemed strange that the Fallen God, who was dead and formed by the embodiment of spirituality, had fallen into this state.
This battle could have been won.
