Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 87 A Contract

Human nature has a noble and beautiful side, but also a despicable and cruel side.

Even in the current Second Age, which has just passed the most difficult era with the birth of the two gods of mankind.

Conflicts between people and between people and other living beings have been growing quietly.

As the belief in two gods spread among humans, although the concept of a kingdom was developed, it was essentially a city-state system that brought together all human tribes.

But it is not necessary to exterminate all non-human races because of this.

Even the ancient sun god who fought and killed one ancient god after another later ushered in a glorious era of racial integration instead of exterminating all non-human races.

Hermione also doesn't know why the dragons, giants and other extraordinary races became extinct in the video plot. It is suspected that it is related to the catastrophe that caused the fall of the "ancient sun god".

The future that this wise dragon saw was still the same, which meant that, at least to a certain extent, the power that Hermione currently possessed could not change the future of the extinction of the extraordinary race.

The "Banquet of Betrayal" that led to the fall of the ancient sun god and the "Great Cataclysm" that nearly wiped out all life on the Eastern Continent...

But how could such a thing happen again in this world where even the ancient sun god has not been born?
Hermione naturally thought of herself.

If this were to happen again, the only one who could replace Yuantai would be her, the "Sun God"...

But she would not accept such a future.

In response to the question from the Dragon of Wisdom, Hermione said piously and firmly, "Humans are not the main cause, but my Lord will not allow such a future."

Hearing Hermione's words, the Dragon of Wisdom revealed its giant dragon form. The dusk pouring down on the temple did not sense the Dragon of Wisdom's malice, nor did it try to stop or defeat the Dragon of Wisdom.

The Dragon of Wisdom looked at Hermione and said:

"I can see that you possess the power of the 'Contract.' Your Lord, the 'Sun God,' presumably possesses the authority of the 'Contract.' I hope to sign a contract with humanity."

Hermione calmly met His gaze, listening to the dragon's thoughts.

The Dragon of Wisdom opened his amber eyes and continued:
"Before I came here, my 'king' predicted that I would encounter disaster here and lose the power of the 'Dragon of Wisdom'. Therefore, my 'king' did not advise me to take this action."

Well, I do have such malicious intentions... Hermione asked doubtfully, "Then why did you come anyway?"

The Dragon of Wisdom said slowly:

"Although I don't know the reason, the essence of prophecy is deduction. From this, I can infer that the two gods of humanity need the divine power within me."

"So I want to exchange this divine power for the promise spoken by the two gods themselves, a promise of a future where the dragon race can survive."

That is to say, using the characteristics in the body in exchange for the continuation of the future dragon race.

Hermione asked curiously, "Have you ever considered hunting you down here and taking away your divine power?"

The Dragon of Wisdom said fearlessly, "To change the prophesied future, repeated attempts are necessary. I am prepared to bear any cost. This is why my 'King' did not stop me from this journey."

Although these words were said selflessly and fearlessly, this behavior is ultimately a manifestation of "surrender" when the race faces a crisis.

However, even the "Dragon of Imagination" acquiesced to this act of surrender, which indirectly proves that these dragons who can predict the future are pessimistic about it.

It is no wonder that the "Dragon of Imagination" is trying to win over the Demon Wolf Clan and risk contact with underground pollution to gain power... These can be regarded as attempts by the "war faction" of the dragon.

However, even with such pessimism, the Utopian Dragon has never thought of reconciling with humans, which also proves that the pride and ambition in the heart of the Utopian Dragon have not been extinguished.

However, the Dragon of Wisdom's request to meet the two gods of humanity at this time...

This was actually a test. Hermione's consciousness returned to the dream world, where she unexpectedly sensed the presence of the "Dragon of Wisdom," meaning she could summon the Dragon of Wisdom's consciousness.

However, this summoning is inconsistent with the existence of Amanisis, Lilith, Amon, etc.

Hermione first called upon Amanesis before attempting to summon the breath of the Dragon of Wisdom.

The "Dragon of Wisdom" Herabergen, who was waiting quietly in the Temple of Dusk, suddenly felt his consciousness being forcibly pulled by some powerful force.

After his consciousness passed through the veils of shadows, he stood on a flat ground and looked up. What came into his sight were ten towering stone pillars.

At this moment, two towering figures stood on the two lit stone pillars.

One is a huge light and shadow.

One is a black figure wrapped in orange.

The two figures were so tall and majestic that they could be said to cover the sky and the earth.

He could only vaguely see that behind these two towering figures was a waterfall of light and shadow that made it impossible for him to see the end.

These two conceptualized beings are... the twin gods of humanity!
"Sun God" and "Lord of Dusk"!
At this moment, the towering giant of light and shadow, as majestic as a mountain, said in a magnificent voice:

"'Dragon of Wisdom' Herabergen, I grant your request and hereby sign a contract with you."

"When the 'Imagination Dragon' falls, when the dragons lose their king, I, the 'Sun God,' will protect the dragon clan just as I protect humans."

"And the price you pay is to sacrifice the two Beyonder characteristics of 'Cherubim' and 'Omniscient Eye' within you to me."

The aura of the "Sun God" is even more terrifying than that of the "King"!
At this moment, Herabogen's heart was filled with fear. Many of his unspoken thoughts vanished at this moment. The dragon body crawled on the ground and made a true choice: "Praise my Lord."

As for the characteristics of that strange name, it must be the power from God within Him.

The contract is established.

However, Hermione still needs to find a way to remove the two characteristics from the body of the Dragon of Wisdom.

If she was the real "Sun God", when the Dragon of Wisdom surrendered, she could use her power of "purification" to extract these two characteristics from the other party.

Too bad she's fake...

However, Hermione has an alternative.

In the Dusk Temple, Amon, who was summoned, stood before the unconscious body of the Dragon of Wisdom.

He stretched out his hand toward the Dragon of Wisdom, exerting the power to steal...

"It's more difficult than expected... I'll have to ask the 'Sun God' for compensation afterwards." Amon muttered, a faint gray mist emerging from his body, and several slippery tentacles protruded from under his loose robes.

With the status elevated by Sefirah Castle, Amon was able to truly steal the two highest Beyonder Characteristics from the body of the Dragon of Wisdom.

In the dream space.

Herabergen felt that his whole body was burned by some strange flame. He felt that the characteristics in his body were being taken out by a certain force. He restrained all his resistance instincts and silently endured the pain.

When the power belonging to the gods completely disappeared from his body, he became extremely weak...
