Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 654 - 42 Alliance (Second Update)
Only the Divine truly understands the Divine!
In this era where the gods are hidden, even the Pope of The Vatican finds it difficult to pray to the Divine and bear the glory of the Lord.
Only by knowing certain intelligence once shared by the deities can one understand the hidden contingencies left by some gods in the world, awakening those Divine who have just awakened from long slumbers above the starry sky!
[Little Blue Young Dragon, you are very clever.]
The eerie black body of the Beast God, with its blood-red pupils, looked at Austin, as if there was a strange expression vaguely present, and the low voice resounded in the air.
[Originally, I thought it would take some time before I was exposed. Little did I expect, with just a small maneuver, you detected the trace...]
Austin guessed correctly.
The root of everything was indeed propelled by him from behind the scenes.
The reason Edward could repeatedly launch plots against the Dragon Nest Tribe was not only because of the Dragon Nest Tribe's vast power, making it hard to shake its foundations, but also because the Beast God secretly helped him escape detection by the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe's intelligence network.
The great secret discovered by coincidence that could connect with the celestial deities was in essence also a part of the Beast God's secret plans.
Perhaps,
Edward believed during his lifetime that it was he, from behind the scenes, who initiated this war against the Blue Dragon Austin, guiding everything, with even the Legendary under his sway.
However, the one who plays with the pawns, thinking himself the player,
little did he know he was also a pawn in someone else's hand.
Perhaps, Edward didn't even know himself if there was a hidden hand guiding everything behind his own fierce attacks on the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe.
His very existence was merely a tool crafted by the Beast God to achieve certain aims!
As for the Power of Faith that Austin felt before, it was the Beast God in the shadows, unable to resist drawing from the faith-gathering upon Austin to replenish his strength.
Originally, this formless and intangible power of worship had no effect unless one possessed special Techniques for gathering faith; otherwise, it would have no influence.
During the Beast God's process of converting faith, a portion of the Power of Faith served him, while another part lingered around Austin.
The Beast God ultimately was not the master of this power of worship, and being able to acquire a large part of it through clever means was already sneaky.
And because Austin did not know how to wield the power of faith, this power thus dissipated into the Giant Dragon Palace, forming a contribution by Austin to its full breadth.
Originally, Austin did not understand any Techniques of Faith, and hence did not produce any feelings.
Perfect infiltration, like a thief stealing faith,
without fear of being discovered by the owners.
However,
the Beast God overlooked one thing,
Austin's soul was special...
A special soul perception caused him to misinterpret the surrounding encirclement of faith power as a serenade of hymns and praises.
This seemingly trivial oversight,
ultimately led Austin to notice traces hidden deep within his own stronghold!
[You harbor a great secret!]
The eerie black shadow of the Beast God gazed at Austin, as if seeing through him entirely, almost making Austin shiver.
Austin remained unmoved, his expression as calm as still water, his voice indifferent.
"Oh, and so what?"
Black smoke drifted in the air, and the Beast God did not answer Austin directly but spoke of an event from the past.
A low voice echoed in the spacious surrounding:
[Twenty-odd years ago, when I fell in the great war tens of thousands of years ago, my Divine Kingdom shattered completely, leaving only a wisp of broken soul swaying like a candle in the wind, at risk of eternal oblivion in slumber. Luckily, back then, in the domain of the Kawa Great Forest, an anomaly in space-time suddenly occurred, triggering the agitation of a fragment of the Gate of Truth torn from that ancient war, and the strength of time and space allowed me to awaken from slumber.]
[In that time, you, a Blue Young Dragon, too, were born around the same time!]
The Beast God's shadow's blood-red eyes stared at Austin,
as if seeking something from Austin's eyes.
Unfortunately,
he failed.
Austin's face remained devoid of expression.
Calm and emotionless.
As if nothing concerned him.
Only the thoughts deep within, perhaps only Austin himself knew.
[A lone soul, fortunate to awaken, had nothing, but fortunately, the place where the Divine Kingdom fell was not far. After inheriting the assets within the Divine Kingdom, there was finally a bit of power to protect myself.]
[Soon after, I discovered that that fragment of the Gate of Truth that awakened me underwent a transformation, and then, I harnessed a Plane Teleportation Array in combination with the Gate of Truth's fragment to conduct dimensional travel.]
[Do you know, it was an incredibly wondrous journey, a system entirely unlike the Multi-universe.]
[All fundamental matter and even the Law of Power, upon reaching that plane, would collapse, leaving only the purest Spiritual Power...the entire world was deathly silent, with the only beings being peculiar living corpses of rot populating the world...strange structures, curious yet strong weapons, an alien Divine system, and those Divine Artifacts amassed with the faith of billions...]
At this point, the shadow of the Beast God grew excited.
Evidently,
in his previous dimensional adventure, the Beast God harvested greatly in that plane.
And this,
was likely one of the primary reasons he could escape with his life during that past battle.
Austin's eyes flickered,
understanding the source of the undead viral army, likely from the doomsday plane that was akin to a zombie apocalypse.
However...
A plane entirely different than the Multi-universe System, with space-time fluctuations occurring coincidentally when I transmigrated to this world over twenty years ago, what does this all mean?
Could it be that my arrival caused some mutation in the Gate of Truth?
And what does the Multi-universe System mean?
"So what if it is, what does this have to do with me?"
Without revealing the confusion in his mind,
Austin's face remained placid, his voice heavy with indifference.
[Heh-heh-heh-heh...my fragment fell into your hands...but it doesn't matter, I've already obtained what I need from that plane, an alien Divine system, billions of faith, that plane holds no more value for me.]
"Then, what is your purpose?"
[Alliance!]
The shadow of the Beast God expelled these two words, causing Austin's pupils to contract.
