People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 399: Ancient dragons gather and the power awakens!
The highest point of Fontaine, the top floor of Momang Palace.

"Click——"

In front of the water god's residence, the exquisite metal door slowly returned to its place under the action of machinery.

After I explained my motivation for the vacation, I got approval much more readily than last time.
Navilette, who was holding a "leave note" in front of the door, thought about the changes in the outside world's evaluation of the God of Water in recent times, and left this room belonging to the God thoughtfully.

"Om-"

In a corner of Mo Mang Palace, the special elevator leading to the residence of the God of Water made a humming sound unique to its mechanical structure.

In the middle of the elevator, Navelette, who was wearing a blue and black dress, put the document in her hand in front of her eyes.

Pause for a moment and stare at the red seal in the lower right corner, representing the water god.
Because of some puzzling things, the supreme judge, who was always majestic in the eyes of the people of Fontaine, couldn't help but reveal a somewhat puzzled expression.

——For some reason, in recent times, he clearly felt that a lot of changes had taken place in his daily work.

It was as if he had accidentally missed some crucial factor.
In a short period of time, everything in Fontaine that had not changed for hundreds of years suddenly changed without his expectations.

Among them, what he felt most clearly was undoubtedly the "God of Water".

"."

".Recently, the frequency of people sending gifts to the gods has obviously exceeded that of the past.

Ms. Funina is much more active in various fields than before.
Not only are the performances more popular, but even government affairs are shared.”

——It was as if something that had previously limited the power of the country's gods had suddenly disappeared.

Navilet discovered unexpectedly while working.
It seems that Ms. Funina is indeed as His Majesty said last time, paying extremely high attention to almost all areas of Fontaine, which is inconsistent with her appearance.

Although this god of ours now seems to have suddenly developed an interest in various works of art in addition to collecting desserts,

Not only did he always like to carry the elegantly shaped scepter with him when traveling, but even when he was signing a document, he still kept the gift from Xumi by his side.

But anyway, Navelette, who had been very busy before, thought about the much easier work now.
In the end, he shook his head and didn't intend to comment on this personal hobby:

——Although I don't know why His Majesty knows so much about the preferences of the God of Fontaine, but all the changes now are obviously for the better.
If receiving gifts can inspire Ms. Funina's enthusiasm for work, then he would be happy to see his boss collect a few more.
"Clang-"

The elevator stopped and with the help of the guard, the door slowly opened.

Villette watched the rays of sunlight streaming into the hall through the blue glass.
Thinking of the scorching sun in the desert, he shook his head and decided to put aside his thoughts for the time being:
——Although being able to meet other people of his race was something he had longed for,

But no matter what, this gathering place is too unfriendly to him, the Water Dragon.
".Huh, gone?"

".From the look on Villette's face, a break should be a good time for him."

"Well, although I would like to take a break occasionally and visit other countries, as the "Water God", there is really nothing I can do about it."

On the top floor of Mo Mang Palace, in a beautifully decorated room.

The God of Water, wearing a blue top hat at an angle, sighed slightly, feeling troubled by his identity that always brought him various troubles.

Putting down the planning documents on the development and reconstruction of Baisong Town and the calculation of the required funds,
Looking at the pile of unprocessed work next to it,

Funina also stroked her forehead with her hand, picked up her cane as usual, and walked to the bright window with a wide view.

".Well, now that Villette is gone, there will surely be more and more of these documents in the next period of time, right?"

".Although I have learned more than most people, I will probably have to work overtime again during this period, just like when I was dealing with the 'prophecy' before."

I have learned from the other party about the movement of the elemental dragon and the large-scale impact that will happen next.

But facing this powerful existence that could not be countered at all, Funina did not feel nervous about it at all.
If she had to say, what gave her the most headache was the seemingly endless government work.

——It’s not that she, the god, has no sense of crisis.

But since she had tested the power of this "little gift" last time, she had fully understood the ridiculous strength of the giver.
Judging from the function and message of this gift, the "supporter" whom she had never met might have already realized that she was not a god.

Although she also thought it was a bit strange for a country's god to have such thoughts,
But facing such an unimaginable strong man, at this moment, Funina was actually giving up and hoping that the other party would become as strong as possible:

——After all, if the other party wants to do something, there is no way for you to stop them, so it is better to treat those who have shown kindness as friends.

If you think like this, then as a "comrade" who may face the prophecy together,
As long as the friendly forces are strong enough, it shouldn't be a big problem if you are weak.
"."

"Well, it's still a bit strange. Isn't this a complete abandonment?
But, even if another me comes, I can’t beat him at all, there’s nothing I can do.”

"."

"Forget it, let that guy take care of the headaches.
Instead of thinking about these things, I should think seriously about what I can offer so that I can ask the other party for help."

With a very 'pragmatic' attitude, I chose not to think about things that I couldn't think about.

Furninna recalled the prophesied time that might come within the next few years.

Because I really can't think of anything in Fontaine that the other party would like.

For a moment, I even wanted to call out my other self to ask if she had any treasures belonging to the gods.
the next morning,

Sumeru Desert, Apepu's territory.

The red sun slowly rises from the edge of the desert, and the golden morning light spreads from the sky.

In the center of the territory, the grass dragon, which is now more verdant and gives people a sense of strong vitality at first glance, curls up.
While raising his head to talk to Tevarin, he was also satisfied with the condition of this fellow tribesman:
——The body shape is still well preserved, and the identity of an elemental dragon can be considered to be still recognized.

Although this fellow tribesman has lost too much of his inherited knowledge and seems a little unintelligent,
But times have changed after all. It has long been mentally prepared for the fact that elemental dragons will lose some things more or less.

——Compared to the disappearance of the previous elemental dragon, the new elemental dragon has been silent for a long time under the guidance of fate.

Nowadays, losing a little bit of inherited knowledge is not a big problem.

"." He tilted his head slightly and looked at the many helpers who had gathered in the desert.

Since the ancient times, there has never been such a large number of people of the same race and strong men gathered in one area.
Apep felt that even if he ignored the completely unfathomable "unknown existence", the remaining forces might be equal to the sum of all other human countries.

"."

At the edge of the territory, Lin Feng was chatting with Navelette, who had avoided the sun and rushed over at night.

After noticing Apep's gaze,
Because of some thoughts he had during the conversation just now, he also chose to come over to join in the fun and consult one of the oldest antiques in the entire Teyvat.

".The form of an elemental dragon?"

".Sure enough, you finally noticed this problem."

Listening to Lin Feng's question,
I just wanted to ask Tevarin why he had been sleeping for so long, to see what kind of difficult problem he had encountered.

But because the matter at hand is more urgent,

Apep looked at Tevarin's slightly shifted gaze and finally shook his head, temporarily putting aside his curiosity:

"——Just as you think, the form of the elemental dragon is not just the appearance of ordinary life, but actually the embodiment of the laws of the world."

"——In ancient times, the ruler's body carried the power of great power from the moment of birth.
And corresponding to its status, this carried power will also shape the form and posture of its owner. "

"The body that best matches its own element, the posture that best unleashes this power,
Before the invasion, this was one of the gifts the world itself gave to our race."

Thinking that Lin Feng in front of him was curious about his own elemental dragon form, Apep also briefly explained the underlying logic.

——There is no doubt that the body of an elemental dragon is an important component of its combat power, and it is also the most intuitive and beautiful embodiment of the elemental characteristics.

The inherent advantages brought by race are extremely difficult to erase.
When the power levels are not much different, the enormous power of the dragon's body and the elemental bonus alone is a destination that weaker races cannot reach even if they work their entire lives.

"."

After a brief pause, Apep, who had remained in dragon form from beginning to end, raised his head slightly.
Looking at Lin Feng who seemed to be thinking about something, he also explained:

"——Your Excellency, do not doubt it. With the power you now possess, it will not be long before you realize the 'wish' that the elements themselves have portrayed to you."

"Those who possess great power will naturally have a heroic appearance that matches their power. This has been the law of this world since ancient times."

"—The body controls the power, the power shapes the body,
You hold the power of the grass element, which is the best at adapting and evolving.
Given enough time, you will naturally learn how to transform your body into the best shape to exert strength, but...

After a slight pause,
Apep felt the overly young life breath of Lin Feng in front of him, and said in a complicated tone:
".It's just that the time you took power was too short.
This time is just a blink of an eye for us in ancient times.
Not to mention controlling power, it is probably impossible to even take shape in the gestation area."

". In addition, your elemental authority changes too quickly, and the most suitable posture is constantly changing.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, it is normal to have some problems with growth progress."

Lin Feng: "."

I just wanted to research what's going on with Villette, how does this have to do with age and seniority?

shook his head,

Thinking about how Villette still hasn't had the nerve to tell Apep that he can't actually transform into a dragon, otherwise Apep would probably have shouted that the law of nature is too harsh on dragons.

I will put this matter aside for now and decide to do more research later when I return to the original sea where the water dragons were born.
Because a question has been in his mind for a long time.

Lin Feng also asked one last question before the awakening began:
".I can feel that as the number of elemental powers increases, each upgrade is much stronger than the previous stage.

——In this case, is the former King of the Nibelung really equivalent to the seven elemental powers?"

"If that is the case, then the strength of the power of Heavenly Principle, which defeated him, is a bit too exaggerated."

"."

".The king and the usurper are far more powerful than anyone could imagine. They are at the top of this world, and perhaps even in many worlds."

".But I still cannot fully understand your character, so I cannot give you a definite answer."

A moment of silence,

Looking at Lin Feng who was stepping on the dragon's back and preparing to go to the sky to awaken, Apep didn't know what answer to give.

——After all, if we only look at the current situation, then this person will probably be able to replace the departed king and become the long-lost will of the world again.

But if we can continue to grow in this way that seems to have no end, then
I shook my head, unable to imagine what the scene would be like.
Apep also put aside his thoughts for the time being, stood up, and decided to organize reinforcements to eliminate the aftermath of the outside world.

".There has never been a situation where the three powers are superimposed.
But even with the most conservative estimate, the aftermath of the spillover is definitely no less than the simultaneous appearance of several complete members of the same clan."

".Even though many preparations have been made before awakening, the residual influence left after Your Majesty's suppression cannot be ignored and needs to be treated with caution."

Oasis Central,

Apep, who has the most experience, is deploying personnel to various directions according to their strength.
But unlike other situations where you need to protect a target,

All it and everyone present cared about were external influences, and they had no concern for the safety of the awakened person himself.

He looked up at Lin Feng who was guiding the wind element in the sky and was about to start.

Apep also shook his head, thinking that this was not something they should worry about at all:
——The combination of elemental powers only takes a moment, and the rest of the time is just spent suppressing external influences and familiar forces.

Interfere with an elemental dragon king who controls the power of three elements and attacks with all his strength?

Even those shadows who think highly of themselves would never be so stupid.
