Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 142 The Generous God

The slumber of a dragon is usually in a dark and dreamless state, and Nemesis is no exception.

But this time, the stage leading to adult dragon was different.

He didn't know how to describe it, nor did he know if he was dreaming, but he saw a gem, emitting light in the vast universe.

The color of the gem is indescribable. Sometimes it is yellow, sometimes it turns purple, sometimes it is green, and sometimes it turns blue.

Seven colors are interwoven in it, making people daydream like intoxicating neon lights.

"Nemesis. Nemesis"

The voice came and went, appearing without warning, but calling him tirelessly.

He didn't know what it was, but he had a feeling from nowhere that he was not a human, not a dragon, but a gem.

The jewel is he, he is the jewel.

The light bloomed, and the gem kept changing colors in the blazing light, finally settling on purple.

With a whoosh, it disappeared.

The next moment, a black hole appeared. Although the surroundings were pitch black and invisible, Nemesis could distinguish the existence that was darker than the darkness.

A powerful suction force was sucking him in. He didn't know what the black hole was absorbing, but he felt that something inexplicable was being lost.

As that thing disappeared, a faint purple color appeared in the black hole, but as the purple color became brighter, Nemesis felt weak.

It is not a weakness in strength, but a weakness in existence.

He understood his situation without any guidance - he was not yet capable of giving birth to the purple gem.

That existence is called the [Power Gem].

But it was too late. He was too weak. The black hole had already absorbed too much. Soon, he would disappear from the world, and all the information about him would disappear with him.

"No no! How can we stop here?!"

Nemesis shouted in his mind, but the black hole sucked away everything, including his voice, and the purple light began to become fainter and fainter, like a candle in the wind.

But the next moment, the situation changed.

A golden light suddenly appeared, like a sharp sword cutting through the darkness, illuminating everything.

Nemesis saw clearly that in the darkness, there was endless nothingness and only the black hole that kept swallowing.

The black hole seemed to have obtained nutrients and greedily absorbed the golden light. The purple light shone from the black hole again and became more and more prosperous.

"Wake up. Nemesis wake up"

A huge sound like a bell rang in his mind. Nemesis felt that the sound was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

But in his dream, he had already forgotten everything in reality and forgot that this was the voice of Oghma, the god of knowledge.

"Wake up quickly, Nemesis"

The urging became more and more frequent, and the loud voices gave Nemesis a headache. The golden light continued to illuminate the dark world, and the purple light in the black hole seemed to be substantial.

Finally, the purple light shone brightly, filling Nemesis's vision, and everything disappeared.

He woke up.

The dark cave was now full of blue arcane flowers, and the faint blue light illuminated the outline of a huge creature in the darkness. Suddenly, the figure opened his eyes, and the purple eyes glowed in the darkness.

"Where am I? Who am I? I am Nemesis. I am Nemesis."

The dark purple eyes gradually became clear from confusion. It felt like only a moment in the dream, but in reality, three long years had passed.

"You finally woke up, Nemesis."

A vast and sacred voice rang in his ears, and a scroll filled with ancient text unfolded before him.

That is Oghma incarnate.

"Your Majesty? Why are you here?" Nemesis asked with some confusion.

"Why am I here?" Oghma's voice became a little angry.

"If I hadn't planned to personally weave a new career for you while you were sleeping this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that you almost died in your sleep!"

The voice asked curiously, "You really don't know what happened? Nemesis, I used up ten drops of true divine power to save you!"

"Do you know what such a huge amount of energy can do? I can even destroy the entire surface of Toril!"

Oghma asked incredulously: "What kind of monster are you? This is the first time I have seen a mortal who can absorb true divine power!"

"Uh" Nemesis was a little confused, but he had a vague feeling that it was related to his Infinite Crown that had been silent for a long time.

He remembered the golden light in his dream and his dying state before the golden light appeared, and his heart moved.

"Did you save me?" he asked after a moment of silence.

A long sigh came from the scroll, and Oghma's voice was tired: "Of course I saved you, Nemesis. No matter what you have experienced, I can see that there is a powerful force in your body now."

"I don't want to explore your secrets, but I hope you understand that there are some powers that you cannot control when you are weak. If I hadn't been here this time, you would have disappeared."

Nemesis remained silent and did not speak, because he did not know how to explain the origin of the Infinite Crown, and he did not want to deceive Oghma, the god who had always helped him.

"I'm leaving, Nemesis. Toril's magic net has transported ten drops of divine power in one day, which has alarmed His Majesty. After today, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to help you in the Kingdom of Heaven."

The scroll gradually became transparent, and Oghma's final voice came from it:
"Son of Gadolina, I hope you will inherit the glory of your father and come to my kingdom of God again. Before that, please grow up carefully."

Nemesis was silent for a long time, then whispered a thank you to the disappearing air.

This god has already paid a lot for this child who was once his chosen one.

Nemesis is not a heartless dragon. Now Oghma has completely gained his trust. If it weren't for his previous human thoughts, Oghma's dream of becoming a dragon would probably have come true today.

"There will be a chance."

Nemesis made up his mind that he would repay the respected god in the future when he had enough capital.

As he was thinking this, there was suddenly a noise and wailing coming from the entrance of the cave above his head. Nemesis faintly heard Wangmula's arrogant and evil laughter coming from outside.

Soon, Nemesis, who had been moved just now, immediately threw these thoughts behind his mind. He angrily opened the entrance of the cave and planned to go out to settle the score with Wangmula.

I told you to watch me sleep, but you dared to have fun outside?!
At this time, Wangmula was spewing hellfire high in the sky on the mountain, watching the trolls wailing in her flames and laughing.

She had no idea that her petty master was planning to vent his anger on her.

　Three chapters today. The second gem finally appeared~ Is the progress a bit slow? Emmm, if it comes out early, I will probably finish it early.
