In this place of incredible sight and in the company of my Family, children and loved ones, stood a single young man emanating a tyrannical ferocity towards me.
He appears young, still in his mid-teens and having messy black hair, golden eyes like those of a predator, three large golden crystal horns on his head resembling a crown and white skin without any markings.
If it was just by appearance, he doesn’t look like a warrior and even less like a wild beast, such a deceptive and contrary appearance must not be a coincidence, he must have chosen this appearance and the only reason I can assume is fun.
When I entered his Divine Kingdom I felt a new layer of Divine power supporting the 3 seals of the Goddesses delaying my transformation, this stabilized my body a little and at the same time increased the load on my Soul, it feels as if I was sandwiched between two trucks and when I’m on a scooter.
Sigh
I have walked further, I have felt the pressure of Divine presences many times, I have already devoured some Evil Gods and whatever Erkales was, so even though it is difficult in my current situation, I still managed to walk in front of the God Akatosh at join the others.
"Well I’ve always liked you, you acted like Dragons long before you became one." (God Akatosh)
"Arrogance, pride in who he is, a wild temperament in his decisions and more than anything, a willpower worthy of a Dragon." (God Akatosh)
I didn’t even see him move when he appeared inches away placing his hand on my shoulder with an amused smile.
That was when I felt a wave of Divine Power running through my body and sinking until it reached my Soul, ignoring everything to only approach the Anomalous Core without daring to make contact.
"Interesting, you really have the power of the Anomalies, but it doesn’t seem the same as the Dragon Eaters..." (God Akatosh)
"He’s not in the best condition, be careful not to break him." (Adella)
"Our Father is not that fragile, but I still don’t think being so close to a God in his current condition is favorable." (Silvia)
"I’m fine..." (I)
"He, above being your Father, is a Primordial Dragon, I doubt that even in my true form I would be able to pressure him, that is the type of power that the primordials cultivated." (God Akatosh)
The Dragon God lets go of my shoulder, withdrawing his power, but with his probe I can at least understand that it has to do with the Anomalous power.
"I’m sorry if I’m hasty or rude, but what can I do for you? Right now I’m not in a good state to do anything for any God." (I)
"Actually your situation is almost perfect, if Adella had told me sooner or maybe seen it, it could have been done sooner, but it can still be taken with some changes." (God Akatosh)
In Akatosh’s hands stands a small statue in the shape of a Totem that I recognized very quickly, because it was my Dragon Totem.
Then a monumental amount of Divine Power was inserted into the Dragon Totem causing lines, Runes and veins of energy to appear everywhere, the Dragon Totem pulsed with great power as a multi-sided crystal formed around it before an illusory egg hatched form covering everything.
"As you said before, we have no time to waste, your condition will only accelerate once you leave here, so I suggest quickly finding a suitable place." (God Akatosh)
"But before that, I need you to do something for all the Dragons in this Universe." (God Akatosh)
"If it’s within my power, I can do it." (I)
I suddenly felt the seriousness of the Dragon God, the matter seemed truly serious and I still didn’t understand what he was doing with my Dragon Totem.
"Some things I am restricted from talking about, but I can reveal that that creature you defeated is an enemy of all Dragons, their appearance and existence stain us all, they are also difficult enemies to fight." (God Akatosh)
"At least until now..." (God Akatosh)
With a smile of his filled with monstrous killing intent, a cone-shaped tornado sucked in Divine Power from the surroundings which poured into the egg, I as the one who created this Dragon Totem could feel that it was undergoing fundamental changes that I could not fully understand.
"I need you to merge your Anomalous Power into this Dragon Totem, by doing so you will save all Dragons, I cannot tell you how this will happen as Divine secrets cannot be told to those who have not achieved Divinity." (God Akatosh)
"But I can guarantee that after you become a God, I will tell you about the Dragon Eaters, about what you did today and about the responsibility I am making you take on." (God Akatosh)
"..." (I)
I wanted to ask several questions, but after listening to him it was like receiving a refusal before even opening my mouth, he was implying that he wouldn’t say anything, he was asking me to trust him without saying anything.
"(In fact, he’s already started acting like I’m going to accept all this without knowing anything...)" (I)
I was tempted to refuse all of this, I don’t like getting involved in things I don’t understand, I also don’t like being responsible for things I know nothing about, I like it even less that he started acting as if my acceptance was a given.
"..." (I)
I looked around, Adella didn’t give a damn, she was sitting in the corner tending to her injuries just looking over here every now and then, my children were silent not saying anything, but my Family members clearly wanted me to refuse and it seemed like they were avoiding talking.
Only Karina looked at me as if she would accept any decision I made, so I started to think about all this, he didn’t tell me anything, but he left several clues about the importance of what he is doing.
He also made it clear that by choosing to do this, I will be accepting a great responsibility towards all Dragons while pointing to the type of enemy I will have, but it turns out that with or without what is happening here, those like Erkales already see me as an enemy for your death.
"(I have no real reason to refuse...)" (I)
So far my only reasons for refusing are senseless pride and arrogance at the way the Dragon God presented all of this to me, other than those things, he clearly pointed out the main points even without telling the general scope of it all, he could have lied to me instead of telling me such obvious half-truths.
"I suppose I’ll be in danger, right?" (I)
"Yes, but not now, that will be in the future." (God Akatosh)
"Will those around me be in danger?" (I)
"Also yes, after all, they will be close if you." (God Akatosh)
"..." (I)
"Is this really important? You can’t do it yourself?" (I)
"This is very important, I can’t accomplish what is needed, you are the only option or I wouldn’t be here right now." (God Akatosh)
"You’re asking too much." (I)
"I know, I also can’t concede much compared to what you’ll accomplish." (God Akatosh)
"..." (I)
"You’re not making it easy for me..." (I)
Sigh
I wasn’t very confident in the decision I already made, if it was just me being in danger it would be one thing, but putting others in danger would be another thing.
I don’t care that much about all the Dragons, I don’t know all of them to care deeply, my concern and responsibility lies with those next to me.
"You should accept it you idiot, you already have the Dragon Eaters as enemies, this decision now only concerns how many will fight by your side when the time comes." (Adella)
"She is right?" (I)
"..." (God Akatosh)
"(He can’t talk or doesn’t want to talk?)" (I)
After that, I didn’t need much more thought, Adella was right, I already received an ultimatum from them, they already see me as an enemy, those around me already share this danger, so I have no reason to doubt anymore. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
"I accept." (I)
"What should I do? How can I infuse Anomalous Power into the Dragon Totem?" (I)
"As Dragons do, with combat demonstrating their power!" (God Akatosh)
Saying his last words with a big smile, he waves the hand that was holding the egg making it fly a few hundred meters after it stops absorbing the Divine Power, then it explodes into something that is different from power or energy.
A Dragon form similar to mine appears, it wasn’t just my appearance, I could feel my Aura, Essences and Holy Power, even my Will or at least something close to my Will was there.
"Fight and let your will mark its power on your Dragon Totem, carve it with your claws bathed in ferocity." (Dragon God)
The Dragon God looked at me, his eyes glowed and I felt the Dragon power in my blood as well as my Soul burn, then the Divine Dragon within my Essence Core opens its eyes, it emanates its power fleeing out of my Essence Core, Essence sucking into itself my Will that merges once again as well as my Divine Weapon that once again becomes your eyes.
Soon the Divine Dragon grabbed the Anomalous Core and devoured it, making it appear on its forehead between its horns It was then that the Divine Dragon fell apart as it merged with my body and began to transform.
"Fight before those of your Tribe and the leaders of all the Tribes!" (God Akatosh)
