Examining Nerael's stats, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
She must have reached the Lvl.10 in one go after killing the Enma-rank. Thereafter, she broke through to the next level in the forest.
"I knew divine beasts are strong for their level, but this is something else."
With these stats, she could go against an Lvl.50 that had 5Sp/Lvl.
And she was only Lvl.11.
"Isn't she stronger than the divine beasts shown in the novel?"
She had 4 traits at Iota-rank. None of the beasts had that.
[Gigantonomia] was the trait she gained after reaching Iota-rank. Although she did not know what it was, we'll know more sooner or later.
"Her human form… is it because of [Evolver]?"
That was the only explanation.
Normally, divine beasts will gain human appearance after reaching Tesla-rank.𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝗲𝙡.𝐜o𝚖
Everyone goes through evolution after breaking through to Lvl.51. For divine beasts, this gives them a human appearance.
Though, unlike Nerael, other divine beasts prefer to stay in their beast form.
Rubbing my chin, I closed the status screen.
After she reached Iota-rank, a connection formed between us and we could now sense each other's emotions and general thoughts.
I could also check her status screen as long as I was within a certain range of her.
The connection between divine beasts and their partners is something that the beast can only form once in their lifetime. It forms when both sides accept each other and they grow intimate.
Nodding my head, I checked my loot.
Vupp-
Two objects appeared in my hands.
A purple vial and an oval-shaped orb rested in my hands.
The purple vial was the 'Mermaid's Tear' while the orb was…
The item Goliath Unit was trying to steal!
Hehehe…
Since the orb could not be put in the storage rings, Isabell had to carry it on her. How could I have passed on such a wondrous opportunity presented to me?
It was like the orb was begging to be stolen.
And so I did!
I replaced it with a monster core when I jumped with Isabell from the prize room!
Storing Mermaid's Tears, I decided to check the orb. Although I could use the tears to increase my intelligence, I had a better use for it.
"Let's see what you are to make Umbra and Aegis fight over you."
I held the orb in front of me.
"[Appraisal]"

Dragon Egg [Legacy]
The only dragon left after the dragons were ■ during the Dark ages.
Status: Dead
======
"It's a dragon egg… dragon egg… dragon… DRAGON EGG!"
Did Goliath and Umbra know that it was a dragon egg?
Probably not. If they did, even pioneers might have entered the field to take over.
If I had to guess, they only knew that it was an egg, maybe even that it was a divine beast egg. That would explain why they sent Goliaths to take it.
The fact that it was dead was a little downer, but it didn't decrease its value.
The ways I could use it were uncountable!
Weapon enchantment, potion making, rank boosting, there was no end to the benefits!
Thinking back, there was only one dragon in the novel.
"The divine beast of the Second Protagonist."
Peter, the second protagonist, was a necromancer. His divine beast was a bone dragon.
That dragon was one of the 4 calamities that almost destroyed Earth.
A few years later, the bone dragon would spring up from Aegis' secret facilities and start wreaking havoc.
Due to its abilities, it would be very difficult to defeat it.
At that time, Peter will return from Planet Delmond.
Having progressed in his necromancy by a large margin, he will bring the bone dragon under his control, essentially gaining a divine beast.
"Wait a second; the bone dragon came from an Aegis facility and…."
I looked at the egg in my hand.
"If I didn't interfere, Goliaths should have been able to take the egg."
My eyes widened.
"This is the bone dragon!"
If I couldn't see the connection between the two, then I must be blind.
The dragon was dead and since it had been dead for a very long while, it couldn't be resurrected, at least not completely.
Necromancy in 'Hero hasn't returned' wasn't very special. You could even say the elves' ability to use spirit magic was necromancy.
The spirits are lingering souls with bits of consciousness. Elves were essentially necromancers with their ability to contact spirits and use them to fight.
If the Aegis, knowing that the dragon was dead, tried to use necromancy on it…
"A dead dragon should have been born."
This made me even more excited.
I could get the bone dragon too!
What's better was, although unknowingly, I stopped a Calamity!
You could say I saved the lives of millions of people who would've died when the bone dragon goes on a rampage.
Hehehehe….
"This counts as helping Leon, right? I took care of such a precarious task for him shouldn't I be compensated?"
Leon, I understand.
If you knew about how I put my life on the line to save millions of people, you would've been moved.
You would then tell me to take a few of your future cheats in exchange for my community service.
Sniff
"Don't worry Leon. I'll do as you say."
Agreeing with Leon's wishes, I put the egg back.
I didn't have a way to deal with it at this moment. However, it didn't mean I wouldn't have one in the future too.
Muhahaha.... my lucky star is finally shining on me!
The trip to the Underworld was a massive success!
Not only was I able to put all of my plans in motion, but I was also able to recruit Tristan and Evelyn, and I got everything I wanted to steal with an added bonus at that!
"I think I used my lifetime's worth of luck."
I sneaked glances around. Why do I feel like something extremely unlucky was going to happen to me?
A sigh escaped my lips.
What has my life come to? I got lucky for once, but my bad luck has traumatized me to the point I'm scared of what was coming.
"tsk"
Clicking my tongue, I decided to stop fooling around.
I still had one last important thing to check.
"The diary"
Bringing the diary out, I checked it.
That dream and the confidence of the being when he spoke about the consequences of my past actions sprouted a seed of doubt in me.
That only led me to think of an absurd theory.
"What if… the dairy wasn't showing me future bu-"
ZAP-
Suddenly, an electric shock zapped from the diary, and it flew out of my hands.
