The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 976 - 657: What Comes Next
The Frost Dragon, having already cleared past grievances, appeared particularly patient in responding to Bobo's question.
"My soul still resides in the Dragon Tomb. This body was constructed based on the agreement at that time, after gathering power and replicating memories.
"If the situation is dire and you have need, even if my soul remains in the Dragon Tomb, its will can descend. However, I ultimately cannot truly resurrect.
"But everything this soul body goes through will be transmitted to the Dragon Tomb before my soul has reincarnated."
Upon hearing this explanation, Bobo nodded slightly.
Since Kana has been dedicated to researching the power regarding souls, Bobo sometimes assists him and is thereby quite interested in delving deeper into this field.
Understanding the current form of existence of the Frost Dragon, Kana nodded slightly and retracted it.
This time, the blade no longer floated behind Kana as before but transformed into a palm-sized crystal ice dragon that joyously flitted around him.
Finally, it settled on the ice-blue light ball floating behind Kana, seemingly considering it its nest.
"Let's go, it's time to return. This is no longer a place for us to linger. We'll consider further development here after dealing with the rat infestation." Kana said, prompting the Night Watchers to begin moving.
With Kana's power growing, Bugreit's strength also enhanced, its appearance becoming increasingly exquisite.
Even though it is an alchemy creature composed of Silver metal and blood-colored fluid energy, its appearance is as lively as that of a real organism.
Although Kana's understanding of the creation rule is still superficial, these insights have begun to show effects on Bugreit.
Bugreit underwent another transformation, this time more thorough, completely turning into a giant dragon-shaped technological plane.
Once everyone boarded, Bugreit announced loudly, "Taking off!"
Accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking air, the plane shot through the sky like an arrow leaving the string, forcibly slicing the clouds into a streak of light, and in the blink of an eye, flew into the distance, disappearing from everyone's view.
"It's so fast!" Svina Anna exclaimed in the plane, marveling at the speed which was several times faster than on their way here.
"Hahaha, now this is real speed! Heaven knows, the ground scenery flashes by before you can even catch a clear view!" Bugreit said excitedly.
Soon afterward, they returned to the fortress. Bugreit reverted to its original form, and everyone gradually disembarked from the plane.
Upon stepping out, Bobo immediately sensed something was amiss. Kana couldn't help but blink his eyes.
"The magic power on this continent is becoming more and more chaotic. It seems our battle did indeed have an impact, with the death of the Fallen Blade Dragon suffusing this land with a bloody aura."
After all, it was a mighty being standing at the threshold of the Divine Gate. Even though it was thoroughly disassembled by the joint forces, the battle process and its roar upon dying inevitably affected the environment of this continent.
"Troublesome, the dwarves will likely have to pay a greater price to reclaim their nation." Bobo said anxiously.
After all, they would inevitably get involved, which would undoubtedly bring many variables and pressure to subsequent work.
While Kana noticed these changes, he was more concerned about potentially bigger crises that might arise afterward.
"Just one Fallen Blade Dragon caused such a huge effect... If the evil rats are destroyed, the consequences would be unimaginable." Kana didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood that the outcome would only be worse than now.
The Fallen Blade Dragon is not a native race of this world; it is an outsider that only connected to this world through the Stone of Creation.
Even so, it never wanted to become a pawn of the Abyss, having a fundamental difference from pure Abyss creatures and demons.
To talk about ties to the Abyss, Svina Anna's connection with it is even deeper.
While the evil rat is formed by the gathering of evil filth from all beings in the world, combined with the enticing power of the Four Gods, it is a native Evil God. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
If it dies, the range of harm it would cause would be even more alarming. Moreover, by then the world might be barely able to look after itself, because by then the world's barrier may have completely shattered, and all energy would be devoted to resisting the invasion of external forces.
The raging wars, fallen faiths, and despair for the future and similar negative emotions would be fully ignited once the evil rat is dead, spreading across the entire world. The already chaotic environment of Tarir by then would grow more vile and filled with resentment.
Just imagining such consequences is already exasperating. If Kana has to defeat another Evil God, the scene… is simply unimaginable.
Yet certain things, no matter how difficult, must be done.
"The benefits outweigh the possible dangers afterward." Bugreit evaluated.
The truth is indeed so.
At this moment, Kana seemed to conceive some thoughts, smiling.
"However, it seems we are already somewhat prepared." Seeing the inquisitive eyes of others turned towards him, Kana explained with a smile, "I conclude that there must be a complete Stone of Creation on the evil rat. We haven't collected any Stone of Creation fragments for a long time.
"If we manage to eliminate the evil rat, obtaining that complete Stone of Creation will bring innumerable opportunities.
"By then, just need to get the long-prepared [Adventurer Association] up and running, naturally there will be streams of people coming here. As long as we can persuade the world and offer some experience rewards..."
Trying to incite all the life in this world to act.
"Alright, hopefully by then everything goes smoothly."
Upon returning to the fortress, influenced by the surrounding environment, the creatures previously cleared out began gathering towards here again.
They reluctantly performed a simple cleanup once more.
Afterward, Kana left a team of Scholars and a squad of [Soul Guardians] and instructed them: "Your task is to protect this fortress, while scouting the surrounding areas, charting new maps, exploring unknown dark zones, preparing for our subsequent arrivals and operations."
The Night Watchers accepted the command, nodding one by one.
Then Bugreit added, "I will send a message to a friend who should arrive soon to provide some assistance to you. He is a level twelve Thunder Vein Sub-dragon."
The dragon he referred to is the one safeguarding the remnants of the bloodline earlier.
"It's time to head back now, the upcoming days will be even busier, as we'll fully launch our war against the rats. They too must have been preparing for war all this time these past days.
Yet this time, we intend to wipe them out completely, uprooting the evil rats from this land."
With that, Kana led everyone into the fortress's Teleportation Gate. Through the Teleportation Gate, they swiftly returned to Ring Tower City.
Currently, Kana's power has reached the current limit, and he decided to shift focus from battles and strength improvement to the development and planning of the Night Watchers.
