Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 304: The Mind Flayer's Request
When the mind blast hit the rebound barrier, the heads of the three mind flayer larvae exploded like ripe berries. The brain pool solution boiled and rolled, and the surging psionic energy continued to overflow from it.

"Put aside your tricks, or I can help you change your mind and speak."

"Master?!" Segna opened her mouth in surprise when she saw Nemesis. She thought she was dead today, but she didn't expect that the master she hadn't seen for many years would appear and save her!

At this moment, Signa couldn't help but feel proud of her own intelligence. If she hadn't recognized this scroll dragon as her master many years ago, how could she have escaped now?

As expected of me, the great tide of corrosion!

"After ten years, you are still so smart." Nemesis looked at Segna meaningfully.

Not realizing his sarcasm, Signa raised her head proudly.

The dragon warriors at the side opened their mouths wide when they saw that their mistress actually called a human "master". The Tome Dragon can now control his own smell very well, and it is almost difficult for these low-level monsters to distinguish his true identity with the noses of the monsters.

Nemesis had to maintain his human form because most of the Underdark was very narrow and cramped. With Sgena's body that was more than 30 meters long and 5 or 6 meters tall when standing up, he could stretch out, but if Nemesis's 100-meter-long body showed up, it would probably burst the tunnel immediately.

Seeing that this inexplicably appearing human actually killed the precious young mind flayer, the tentacles of more than a dozen mind flayers twitched violently, and suddenly they collectively raised their fingers and pointed to the sky.

At the critical moment, the mind-thirsty elder O'Brien stopped them.

O'Brien looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, his cold-blooded brain now full of warnings.

Huge, too huge.

In O'Brien's vision, the human being in front of him, no, the humanoid creature, had traces of immeasurable spiritual energy in his body.

As a level 19 elite mind flayer elder, O'Brien is the most powerful being in the tribe except for the destroyed Mastermind.

The adult black dragon in front of him was just a toy that he could play with with just a wave of his hand, but the one in front of him was different.

The moment it saw him, the mind flayer's psychic intuition began to warn O'Brien.

He is dangerous.

"We are from Orindor." The tentacles of the elder illithid rolled up a stone slab engraved with spiral patterns. Nemesis' pupils shrank as he saw that it seemed to be engraved with the holy emblem of the long-destroyed Three Gods of Death.

Signa's dragon claws dug deep into the rock wall: "You're lying! Orindor was already 40 years ago..."

"It became a gap between the etheric world and the material plane." The three broken tentacles of the mind flayer ooze out psychic blood at the same time as the mind flayer spoke. "It took us thirty years to rebuild our collective consciousness until the poisonous blades of the drow tore through the brain pool again."

Only then did Nemesis remember the origins of Orindor.

Decades ago, when he was still a young dragon, this illithid city that controlled the north-central part of the Underdark was suddenly destroyed overnight.

It was precisely because of this incident that the dark elves in the west marched eastward.

Which city did these mind suckers come from?
"I heard that the city seemed to be destroyed overnight. How did you escape?" Nemesis asked with narrowed eyes.

The other dozen or so adult mind flayers seemed to be frightened by this question, and they were so cold-blooded that they even trembled, which was rare.

O'Brien did not answer directly, but said: "Before that, I have a request that I hope you can agree to." Nemesis raised his eyebrows and said: "Tell me about it."

"Please allow us to stay in your territory, powerful dragon," O'Brien said respectfully.

"Oh," Nemesis asked with interest, "Do you want to submit to me?"

O'Brien shook his head. "The Illithids only obey the orders of the Mastermind. We only hope to gain a refuge in your territory."

The scroll dragon's eyes turned a few times and said cunningly, "Oh? But what good will this do me? You tried to enslave my followers, and now you want to get me to protect you for nothing? You are brain-eating mind suckers, not succubi that seduce people's hearts."

O'Brien was silent for a moment, then raised the stone tablet in his hand higher: "The material of this stone tablet comes from the corpse of the god in the astral world. Before the destruction of the main brain of Orindor, it stored all the power of the entire Orindor race, from the first ring to the ninth ring, and even including the three legendary powers, in this stone tablet."

"As long as you can protect us and allow us to breed a new mastermind, it will unlock the secrets of the stone tablet and give us all our superpowers."

Nemesis unceremoniously mobilized his enormous telekinetic power to snatch the stone slab, but strangely, the mind suckers were not in a hurry and did not move at all.

He tried to infuse psychic energy into it, but found that there was indeed a powerful psychic reaction inside the stone slab, but it was sealed by an extremely complex supernatural power.

"The holder must input a specific psychic frequency to remove the restrictions of the stone tablet. No one except our main brain can open it." O'Brien's tone did not fluctuate at all.

Nemesis put away the stone slab in displeasure. No wonder these octopus-faced creatures were not afraid of him going back on his word. It turned out that they were waiting here.

If he wanted this coveted psychic knowledge, he could only protect them obediently until a new mastermind was born.

but
Nemesis lowered his eyes and thought for a while. He was indeed moved.

Compared to spells that are easier to obtain, supernatural powers are too rare in the main material plane. Until now, he has been using the stock in the notebook that Duke Gavin gave him.

But the stock only goes up to the seventh ring.

More importantly, this stone slab not only contains all the superpowers that a powerful Mind Flayer city possesses, but also three priceless legendary powers!

Legendary superpowers.

Compared to legendary spells, most creatures in the multiverse have never even heard of this word.

Maybe you think that a psychic at the legendary level can possess legendary powers?
That's true, but even in the entire multiverse, the number of legendary psions is so rare that they are almost extinct.

I'm afraid that in the entire star realm, the number of people who can unleash legendary supernatural powers will not exceed dozens of figures.

"I agree." Nemesis gave his answer after careful consideration.

It’s nothing, I just gave too much.

O'Brien breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became a little less tense: "By the way, to answer your previous question, the reason we were able to escape from Orindor was because the Mastermind predicted it before the disaster happened, and we were the last seed it specially arranged."
