The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 952 - 634: Divine Friend
Bugreit never imagined, not even in his dreams, that the one to attain godhood would be someone he once knew.
He knew somewhat that, during the era of his death, the existence of the Void had yet to be discovered, much further back than the era of the few remaining giant dragons today.
However, becoming a god and having knowledge of the Void are entirely different concepts. The time and opportunity required for godhood are incredibly long and rare. Even though he existed in a more ancient time, it was still far from sufficient for the ascension to divinity.
Moreover, speculating from the circumstances back then, it seemed some of his elders were closer to crossing that threshold to godhood.
Yet, unexpectedly, it turned out that it was his peer who eventually became a god. This was something Bugreit found very hard to accept.
"Haha, Bugreit! How amusing it is that you encountered the remnants of my bloodline, hahaha!"
The soul's voice echoed in his mind with unbridled arrogance, unimaginable that such laughter would come from a dragon god.
"If it weren't for the fact that your world is now watched by the Void, I would have come personally to stand before you and see your face." The voice was filled with schadenfreude.
"Damn it, Lace Rava, how did you do it? How could you possibly become a god? You bastard!" Bugreit became anxious and hastily inquired. He had to understand how the other reached this stage; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to let it go.
As peers, starry sky dragons were already rare in number, naturally knowing each other, and could even be called friends.
Bugreit's temperament was odd, different from other dragons; he wasn't arrogant and didn't like showing off. As a radiant giant dragon, he was supposed to symbolize holiness and justice, but Bugreit was fond of mischief and was extremely lazy.
And now, Lace Rava, who had become a dragon god, was also a unique character among their peers. His peculiarity lay in his extreme quietness, always playing the role of a spectator, making him seem somewhat unremarkable.
Precisely because of this, only Bugreit, with his equally peculiar nature, could share more common topics with him, and their relationship was quite good.
"There's nothing strange about it. Given you're still in that world, you should know about the Stone of Creation, right?"
"I know, are you saying you used the Stone of Creation?"
"That's right, at that time, you all didn't care much about such stones. I spent a fortune, and after using a total of three stones, only then could I clarify my path to godhood.
But after becoming a god, I noticed the threat of the Void, so I did not publicize it. Otherwise, more clan members might have tried to use it. By then, if they didn't have strength comparable to mine, they probably couldn't escape the threat of the Void."
"Tch." Bugreit clicked his tongue disdainfully.
It turned out that he relied on such a method. In the past, indeed, Bugreit had not taken the Stone of Creation seriously, influenced somewhat by the arrogance of dragon thinking.
However, he also used the Stone of Creation to hide his soul in the end.
At that time, dragons were the most powerful creatures in this world, with numerous opportunities to obtain the Stones of Creation. Yet, the pride of the starry sky dragons made them disdain using external forces to forcibly acquire it.
So, almost no dragons would wish upon the Stone of Creation for themselves, and even if they did, it was mostly for more gold, gemstones, or other shiny treasures. Otherwise, they would simply treat it as a collectible and stash it in their treasure trove.
Evidently, the low-key Lace Rava had different ideas. He quietly exchanged the Stone of Creation from other dragons using his collected treasures.
Back then, the Stones of Creation appeared in complete forms, not fragments, with each acquisition interval spanning hundreds of years. Only dragons had the capability to do so.
In all likelihood, after Bugreit's death, Lace Rava continued seeking and exchanging for the Stones of Creation.
"It's a pity, although I'm not sure how you resurrected, your current status is evidently not right. Even if you use this remnant of my bloodline, you probably can't ascend to godhood in the short term, nor can you escape this soon-to-be-crisis world. Sorry, my friend, this might not help you."
Clearly, the voice in Bugreit's mind, from Lace Rava, mistaken that Bugreit obtained the bloodline remnant to try escaping this world.
Who knew Bugreit shook his head: "No, now I won't use your bloodline remnant, and I didn't come here to escape. I just wanted to use your power to draw a traitor out of the Abyss."
"A traitor? Are you referring to that Blade Dragon?"
"You know about this?" Bugreit was somewhat surprised.
"Of course I know. After all, my power to ascend to godhood originated from this world, and yet I fled, there's naturally some guilt. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent the energy to leave a remnant of my bloodline here right after ascending to godhood."
Although this wasn't significant for his godly power, it could at least alleviate some inner guilt. After all, for a dragon to feel guilt was exceedingly rare.
"Though I also fled this world, any dragon would be disgusted by his descent into the Abyss. So I made it so he couldn't easily show up in the Abyss. Whenever he dared to come out, I beat him up."
So it turned out, Bugreit hadn't known this beforehand.
"Let's end our reminiscence here; the thought power I stored in this gemstone is limited.
You can take this gemstone, hope it will help you or this world. I will remove all constraints on it and set a password. By accessing it, you will be able to freely review the powers and information contained within and perform the corresponding actions."
After saying this, the voice vanished from Bugreit's mind.
"This guy, truly became a god." Bugreit murmured helplessly.
This action by Lace Rava clearly indicated he noticed the abnormal state of Bugreit.
Perhaps, just from this trace of lingering thought, he discovered the problem with Bugreit's body and deduced the reason for Bugreit's presence here.
Probably, he could also perceive the identity of Kana the Savior through Bugreit's alchemy body.
Under such circumstances, using the bloodline remnant to gather power for godhood seemed to have lost its meaning.
After all, this is the legacy of a dragon god, highly versatile and powerful, no matter what, it's a significant aid.
Moreover, Lace Rava should also realize the current situation. The present moment no longer allows for dragons to ascend using his remaining power; time is urgent, the Void has already extended its reach into this world.
"I was originally full of anticipation, and now I have no desire to use it at all." Bugreit couldn't help but complain.
He too had his pride. If it were the legacy of an elder, using it would be with peace of mind and without any psychological burden.
But if it were his peer or especially the leftover power of a friend he knew, Bugreit really couldn't bring himself to inherit it. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
His pride would not allow him to do such a thing.
"Ascension to divinity... Even without this legacy, I can achieve it myself."
After all, there's also Kana.
