Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 279 Shana's Thoughts

"Are you sure you want to go with them to find that illusory organization?" Nemesis asked Shana before leaving the Am Empire.

Shanai looked back at the silent Ebis trio and smiled helplessly, "There has to be a decision. The debt of the lives of the 27 members of the Clermont family cannot be repaid by a small leader."

Outside the magnificent city gate, Nemesis rode on a tall black horse with his eyes slightly lowered. He did not comment on Shana's decision. After all, she was not his family, and he had no intention of influencing Shana's decision.

However, thinking of the memories he had discovered from Marov's mind before his death, he felt pity for Shana and the three mediocre adventurers who were about to face the difficulties.

Moreno's handsome face was pale, his mouth slightly opened, and after a long while, he asked with a trembling voice: "Excuse me, what you said before about Aisha, is it true?"

Nemesis thought about it and realized that after leading them out of the demiplane, the three adventurers still couldn't believe that their sister was such a ruthless character, so he told them some "little news" about the Shadow Alliance.

As a consul, Marov didn't know much. The reason why he was able to obtain so many resources to train his men to seize the demiplane was that there was actually a big boss of the Shadow Alliance standing behind him, a person whose strength had reached the legendary level but who had not yet become an elder of the Shadow Veil Council.

The [Shadow Council] is the brain of the [Shadow Alliance] and is controlled by two legendary elders who have lived for an unknown amount of time.

The elders claimed that they had received a revelation from an unknown ancient god deep in the Shadowfallen Underworld, intending to destroy the light in the universe and bring darkness to the main material plane.

The words that the group saw at the entrance to the cemetery: "Light is my enemy. The sun's eyes are hateful and keep no secrets. This will not last long. I will eliminate it."

In fact, it is the teachings of the Shadow League.

The legendary warrior standing behind Marov is a rising star in the Shadow Alliance in recent years. No one has ever seen his true face, and no one even knows whether he is a man or a woman. All they know is that he is the third legendary warrior in the entire alliance.

It was just because he had only been promoted for a short time and had a shallow foundation in the alliance, so he had been kept out of the parliament by the two elders, [Darkness] and [Darkness] who controlled power.

Before entering this demiplane, Marov received a mission - [Rescue Aisha].

Aisha belongs to the Dark Race in the Shadow Alliance. They are elites who were kidnapped and trained since childhood, and their souls are branded with the Shadow Contract.

Moreno and his sister were separated when they were young and only reunited recently, so he didn't know that his sister had already lost her humanity due to the brutal training day and night.

When Nemesis said these things, it dealt a heavy blow to Moreno and Cade.

Faced with Moreno's persistent questioning, he mercilessly exposed his self-deception: "Do you think I have the time to tease you?"

The blunt question made Moreno turn pale, like a sharp blade peeling open his heart.

Moreno is a good man in the true sense of the word. He has always believed in the teachings of Lathander, Lord of the Dawn. He will lend a helping hand to those in need and will also use his life to protect his teammates who he works with day and night.

The lost and regained family affection was extremely important to him, but the difference in camps tore his heart apart.

Not to mention Moreno's own ideological struggle, Shana also saw the performance of several people and felt helpless.

Among the three people, she felt that only Ebis was somewhat reliable, and the other two were useless.

But these were the only resources she could mobilize. Like her, these three people had irreconcilable conflicts with the Shadow Alliance. In order to achieve her goal, she had to temporarily cooperate with these three people.

As for asking Nemesis to help?

Shana had naturally considered this, but she also knew the nature of this scroll dragon - he would not do anything without benefit, which perfectly summarized the other party.

She wanted to persuade the other party to help her deal with an organization that had two legendary masters, but she felt that she could not afford the price and did not want to pay it.

"It's just a legend. There are more than just them in the world." Shana said confidently.

The source of confidence is naturally the extremely developed forces of the major orthodox churches in the Sword Bay area.

Although the territory of the Amn Empire was completely divided up by Woking and Helm, especially the Woking Church, which was extremely xenophobic to foreign beliefs, as long as they found evidence that the Shadow Alliance believed in evil gods, they would be able to persuade the major orthodox churches to send investigation teams or even formal extermination teams to deal with the Shadow Alliance.

By then, even the Church of Woking would have no reason to prevent other churches from entering the Amn Empire, unless their pope was crazy enough to want to have his church removed from the Orthodox Church.

In fact, in the continent of Faerun, there are countless organizations that believe in various unknown small wild gods, but in most cases, once these organizations emerge, they will be destroyed by various orthodox churches and adventurers.

Cult organizations that can survive for a long time are mostly those that have the support of powerful evil gods such as the Five-Colored Dragon Mother.

There are even organizations like the Church of Lies and the Church of Storms, whose gods of worship are openly evil gods that gain faith by intimidating mortals, but they are organizations on an equal footing with the righteous churches.

What do they rely on? The god they believe in is the most powerful and sacred god among all gods, even the god believed in by the Church of Storms, Storm Lord Talos, who is such a noble existence as the main god of the entire Destruction God System.

At all times, in the multiverse, strength prevails.

The Shadow Alliance is indeed powerful, but their biggest weakness is their belief in a small wild god who can only remain unknown in Faerun and hide in the darkness.

Nemesis nodded at Shana's idea and said, "Since you have thought it through, I wish you success. I will also leave here and go back to my hometown to take a look."

As he spoke, Nemesis transformed into a huge, sacred, beautiful silver dragon in a gust of wind, and soared into the sky. The sky was fluttered by the wings that obscured the sky, and between the clouds, the dragon's fin-like tail revealed a rainbow-colored light.
-
While Nemesis was flying across the Sword Coast, across the Anauroch Desert, and heading for the Kingdom of Imbutu, he pulled up his data and took a look.

Activated Gems: Mind Gem, Power Gem.

Activated abilities: mind control (memory reading, memory modification, common sense modification, mind control), tenfold increase in spellcasting resources, tenfold increase in strength, and adaptive evolution.

Witnessed miracles: the birth of Nemesis, the power of higher dimensions.

The benefit of raising his level by two levels at once was that Nemesis' intelligence increased a little. Although it was not much, it was a very unexpected surprise for the precious three-dimensional spiritual attribute.

Moreover, Nemesis always had a hunch that the improvement of the third dimension of his spirit would bring him great benefits in the future, and it would not just be the case now where he could just provide more mana.

Another point is that Nemesis can use the eighth-ring spell slot, and the power level of the spell has been increased to level 22. The power of any spell Nemesis casts now is the same as that of a level 22 legendary wizard, and this is not counting the result of the power gem enhancement.

The last thing is the improvement of magic points. Increasing by two levels has increased Nemesis' magic points by more than seventy points. With the enhancement of the Mind Gem, it is equivalent to Nemesis increasing his magic points by more than seven hundred points.

The already enormous mana has become even more powerful. For the current Scroll Dragon, there may be opponents who can exhaust his mana pool, but they probably haven't been born yet.

If there really is an opponent with more powerful magic than him, the opponent's strength is probably much greater than that of Nemesis.
