Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 153 Divinity

The great one, the hidden existence.

Nemesis had actually heard of the existence of Io a long time ago. Both Oghma and Selûne were very secretive about that existence.

The only thing Nemesis knew was that in the Kingdom of Heaven, even a god like him had to obey that person's orders.

And Quart's remarks at this time proved his guess.

"Creating the kingdom of the sky?" Nemesis pondered in his heart.

In the mythological records of Faerun, there are actually many versions of the myth of Genesis, but most of them were fabricated by various churches to promote their own gods.

For example, the most famous legend is the creation of the world by Selûne and Shar, and the legend of the creation of the world by the Earth Mother Chauntia.

But for most scholars, these various creation myths have more or less loopholes that make them unable to justify themselves.

But the fact that a god personally confirmed it is obviously a more powerful evidence than those myths.

The so-called [Kingdom Sky] is actually the crystal wall system where Faerun is located.

The size of the entire [Kingdom Sky] is almost equal to the size of the solar system in Nemesis' previous life, with one sun, eight planets, and numerous satellites.

The planet where Faerun is located, Toril, is one of the eight planets in the kingdom's sky.

His Majesty Aio is the creator of the entire [Kingdom Sky] crystal wall system.

After introducing Io in a few brief words, Quart continued with the rest of the story.

"His Majesty Io used his great power to lock the Maztec gods in the sky. Well, to be precise, he locked them in a place called the Polaris Camp outside the atmosphere of the planet Toril."

"Thirty thousand years in prison. This is their punishment."

"And I have become the only god still walking on the Maztec continent."

"Then how did you end up like this..." Nemesis chose the words, but didn't know how to describe the other party's situation.

"Down and out?" Quart chuckled.

"Because I was also deprived of my power by His Majesty Io."

"Aren't you curious about where my dragon bloodline comes from?" Quart said softly.

"When I was born, all the stars in the sky cheered for my birth, but the brightest one among them was the one called the King-killing Star."

"I am a giant dragon born from nothing, representing the proof of the reproduction of the true dragon race in Maztec. Even my parents did not hold out hope for my birth, because they knew that the source of my power came from the good side of the nine-faced dragon god [Ao] of the ancient times - the platinum dragon god [Bahamut]."

Nemesis was stunned and speechless.

Is Quart a descendant of the Platinum Dragon God? Wait, doesn't that mean Kukul is cuckolded?

As if seeing through Nemesis's thoughts, Quart smiled bitterly and explained, "It's not what you think."

"The gods' birth of children is not like that of mortals, and the union is more of a symbolic meaning."

"As the top race in the multiverse, the concept of true dragons is circulated in every crystal wall system, and I am the collection of the concept of good dragons on the Maztec continent, and I came into the world with the help of the power of the Mother Goddess."

"However, it is precisely because I am, in a sense, a descendant of the Good Dragon God that I was implicated 30,000 years ago when the Platinum Dragon God recklessly unleashed a world-destroying disaster on the continent of Faerun."

"His Majesty Io took away my divine power and turned me back into a powerless ordinary dragon. At that time, I was almost equivalent to an ordinary creature."

"After years of hard training, deep sleep, and evolution, I finally recovered to the realm of quasi-god. However, by then, the beliefs of Zaltek and his followers had already dominated the entire Maztec continent."

"Even if they are still sealed, there is no place for me in the entire Maztec continent."

"After thousands of years of unremitting efforts to smear the church, I have become a complete joke. If I hadn't sensed an isolated tribe in the distant forest that still praised my name, I would have fallen from the throne of God again."

Nemesis let out a sigh of relief. This Quart was so miserable. It was completely an unprovoked disaster. Not only was the Platinum Dragon God expelled from the [Kingdom Sky], but he was also implicated and turned back to his original form.

"So that's why you cooperate with the colonists? To regain faith?" Nemesis asked boldly and directly. He could see that this god had talked to him so much and obviously had something to ask for. In that case, he might as well ask all his questions clearly.

"That's only part of the reason," Quart said bluntly.

"Eliminating faith is only the first step. The thirty thousand year period is coming soon. When Zaltek regains his freedom, the entire Maztec continent will surely return to bloodshed."

"All believers must choose their side. Those who refuse to change their ways will be killed without mercy." Quart's voice turned cold.

"They can choose not to believe in me. Whether it's Heim or Vol'jin, I have already reached a cooperation with them. It doesn't matter even if they accept the whole belief. When the entire Maztec continent is full of their believers, can they still sit idly by and watch Zartek's massacre?"

"But there is one more thing I need to ask you." Quart changed the subject.

"This pyramid was actually built by me. In the past ten thousand years, I have built a total of five pyramids, which suppressed five kings of the ancient Nexus Empire."

"These five kings are the descendants of Zaltek's Godson. If Zaltek dies, they will be Zaltek's backup for resurrection."

"I need you to help me destroy them."

Nemesis frowned and asked in confusion: "Can't you deal with them yourself? This king of the Nikesu Empire doesn't look very strong." Quart sighed: "That's just because he has been suppressed by the pyramid for ten thousand years, and his strength has almost been lost."

"These five pyramids are not only their prisons, but also their sleeping chambers. If no one breaks in, it will be fine. In their endless sleep, their strength will be drained away bit by bit, and they will turn into ashes."

"But if someone broke into the cave like you did, they would be awakened immediately in the pyramid."

"Back then, I lost the power of the gods and could not kill the sons of gods. I could only imprison them. But now, because of the three audacious and stupid gods of your continent of Faerun four hundred years ago, all gods have been banned from projecting power on the continent, let alone killing five legends."

"Legend? That mummy is actually a legend?!" Nemesis was surprised. He actually killed a legend? Although according to Quart, the other party had almost no power left.

"Ipana III is the weakest among the five kings. The remaining four are stronger than the other. You must not underestimate them." Quart said seriously.

"Why are you looking for me?" Nemesis calmed down and asked rationally.

There are many powerful candidates in the Golden Legion, including two living legends who have never been weakened, Boris the Flowing Gate and General Cordel.

It's not his turn, right?

In response to his question, Quart gave an answer.

"It's a bit of care for our fellow tribesmen." Quart said with a smile.

"take care of?"

"The people of the Golden Legion are not aware of the existence of the Son of God. If those two legends knew, they would search for him at all costs. Do you know why?" Quart asked.

Nemesis shook his head.

“Because of divinity.”

As Quart spoke, the gem on the top of the pyramid floated in front of Nemesis as if summoned, and a faint golden light flickered in the center of the gem.

"This is divinity, the precious thing that Zaltek gave to his son. I extracted it and sealed it in the Diamond of All Things."

"What is the use of this divinity?" Nemesis asked curiously. He knew almost nothing about the world of gods.

"What's the use?" Zaltek laughed as if he heard something funny.

"You should ask why it is not used."

"Creating artifacts, even advanced artifacts, upgrading the legendary level, and enhancing the six-dimensional attributes. And most importantly, the threshold for the legendary to advance to quasi-god - igniting the divine fire."

“These are all going to need it.”

"Unfortunately, this thing is of no use to me. Zartek's priesthood is too bloody and dark, and it conflicts greatly with me. I have no way of absorbing his priesthood, otherwise I will definitely let him taste the feeling of having his priesthood torn apart!" Quart said with some hatred.

"So, you gave me such a precious thing?" Nemesis asked in surprise.

Quart chuckled and said, "It depends on who the object is."

"For mortals, this is a rare treasure that is invaluable in the world, but for gods, this thing is just a lower-level substitute for the divine fire."

"If it weren't for the fact that mortals cannot bear the power of the divine fire, I'm afraid Zartek would have given a portion of the divine fire to these sons of God. After all, in his eyes, these are all backups for his resurrection."

"I see."

"So, my fellow countrymen, are you willing to accept this commission? I will not lie to you. The remaining four kings must be more powerful than Ipana III. But at the same time, along with the danger comes a generous reward." Quart said in a tempting tone.

"What is the time limit?" Nemesis asked cautiously.

"100."

"This is the final deadline. After 100 years, Zartek will return from the Pole Star Camp. By then, his sons of God will awaken and gain power comparable to that of a quasi-god. I don't think you will be able to break through to the quasi-god level within 100 years, right?"

Nemesis was relieved when he heard the time limit of "100 years".

Just 100 years, he didn't believe that even with the help of the Power Stone, he couldn't gain the power to defeat a group of old, weak, sick and disabled legends within 100 years.

He might as well die!

Nemesis gritted his teeth and agreed.

Quart nodded and left with satisfaction.

"Remember, my people, you only have 100 years. If you haven't killed them by then, leave this continent and never come back."

As the dragon-shaped light disappeared, Quart's last voice was heard on the wind.

　I'll write 6000 words today. At least I got recommended. I can make a comeback.
