Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 326 Sacred Artifact
The underground intelligence room of the CIA branch in Wyoming, United States.

“Oh my god, this thing is breathing!”

The scream of intelligence agent Marian Claire caused the entire NORAD underground control room on the third floor to fall into silence. On the monitoring wall composed of twenty curved screens, the red spots representing the abnormal heat source were flickering in a strange rhythm, like a giant heart suspended at an altitude of 58000 feet.

Technician Gavin took a gulp of cold coffee, his fingertips leaving afterimages on the touchpad: "NROD's KH-13 satellite just sent back correction data - body length 100 meters, wingspan 240 meters, extremely high heat sources detected between scales..." He swallowed, "This is not a fucking drone at all."

"Shut up and continue cross-verification!" The hooked nose of the control room director O'Brien was almost touching the main screen, and cold sweat seeped into the bulletproof plate of his tactical vest. In the picture, the creature was flying through the clouds and diving towards Yellowstone. The shock waves from the wing membrane tearing the air made the Cody City seismometer jump into crazy sawtooth.

"Sir!" A noise suddenly broke out from the communications booth, and the FBI Wyoming Field Team's encrypted channel was forcibly cut in. "Six witnesses in Jackson Town took photos of the reflection of scales. Our people found this in the camera--"

O'Brien's pupils shrank suddenly. In the blurry video shot by the witness, some kind of fin-like object covered with silver shells swept across the camera, and the blue flames from the tail instantly melted the clouds.

"Damn it, it's that dragon that appeared in New York! How did it come to Wyoming!" He grabbed the red communicator, "Connect to the Pentagon Situation Room, now!"
-
Pentagon.

“You better not be writing your briefings from a post-apocalyptic movie script.”

Admiral Crawford's voice came from the command desk, and twelve generals surrounded the 3D sand table simulated by the central computer. The volcano model of Yellowstone Park was glowing red, and the red light point representing the dragon was only 41 kilometers away.

Admiral Richardson, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said with a smile: "Sir, our scientists have analyzed the data. The energy fluctuations emitted by this creature are completely synchronized with the vibration frequency of the Yellowstone magma chamber. If it touches the crater..."

Say the conclusion, General. ” Crawford’s nails dug into the oak table.

"In the worst case, the Yellowstone supervolcano will explode prematurely."

The war room was silent.

Crawford turned to the shadowy figure. "Mr. President?"

"Initiate 'Hunting Protocol.'" said the hoarse voice.

High in the sky over Wyoming, the huge body of the scroll dragon was flying rapidly in the air. With the enhancement of a series of spells such as [Cat's Grace], the physical attributes of his entire body had approached 99 points.

Coupled with special acceleration spells and spells to increase flight speed, he was able to fly in the air at a speed of Mach 1983 (three times the speed of sound). In , fighter jets of most countries could not catch up with such a fast speed.

The destination of his trip was the Yellowstone Volcano in Yellowstone Park in Wyoming.

It is the largest and still active volcano in the world. If it erupts completely, it would be enough to spew volcanic ash covering the entire world.

Of course, Nemesis did not go there with the intention of destroying the earth.

"The Library in the Cracks of Time" Nemesis' body flying in the air continued to speed up, and the information Vecna ​​gave him was very comprehensive.

This includes the unknown place where He is sealed - the library in the cracks of time.

According to the information given by Vecna, he must go to this library and find a part of Vecna's body - a holy artifact called [Vecna's Eye Severed Palm].

A holy artifact is an existence that surpasses higher-level divine artifacts. To gods, each holy artifact is a super weapon created by splitting off a portion of their divine essence.

Different from higher-level artifacts, the biggest feature of holy artifacts is that they have the ability to harm gods.

It is said that during the Saint's Catastrophe, the mortal Prince of Lies, Cyric, used an unknown holy weapon to kill Baal, the God of Murder, one of the Three Gods of Death. This is because the holy weapon has the power of divinity.

As you can imagine, such a precious treasure is rare even in the entire multiverse. For most gods, if there is no reason to make a holy vessel, they will not sacrifice their precious divinity to make such a transcendental item.

After all, no matter how powerful a holy weapon is, it cannot be as powerful as the god who created it. For a god, making a holy weapon is not a smart move.

High-level artifacts are different. Although they are also treasures that must be made by gods and must involve the power of gods, high-level artifacts do not require precious and non-renewable things like [divinity].

For example, the high-level artifact possessed by Nemesis, [Demon Star of Troubled Times], is nothing more than a fusion of the divine power of the Five-Colored Dragon Mother.

The reason why Vecna ​​asked Nemesis to take out the holy weapon was because in order to break the seal, he had to obtain Vecna's mutated right eye - [Reverse Pupil].

And [Reverse Eyes] is in the hands of Vic's crazy nature.

Vecna ​​knew very well that as an adult dragon who was not even a legend, Nemesis would never be able to defeat his own mad nature.

Therefore, [Vecna's Divine Eye Severed Palm] is the plug-in He gave to Nemesis.

As a reward for releasing him, Vecna ​​promised to give Nemesis the use of [Vecna's Eye of the Palm] for ten thousand years.

This is why Nemesis threw himself into the battle against the half of a god without hesitation.

Profits drive the dragon crazy.

The library in the cracks of time is a very special place. There is no flow of time there, and all the books of the entire human society on Earth from ancient times to the present are preserved there.

It is the alienated embodiment of the concept of Earth civilization in the environment of the revived magic network. There is also a similar place in Faerun, which people call the Polaris Camp.

According to Vecna's information, the entrance to the library is at the bottom of the Yellowstone volcano.

Of course, entering the library is likely to cause a volcanic eruption, but Nemesis is confident that his magic can confine the volcanic ash within a thousand kilometers, and he can use magic to slowly purify it after he comes out.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the entire US government had gone crazy because of the news that he might be going to detonate the Yellowstone volcano.

"Huh?" Nemesis, who was flying, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot of sounds of flying machines coming from a far distance.

"Humph, it seems they haven't learned their lesson from last time." Nemesis curled the corners of his mouth and sneered.

In that case, let’s do it again.

He had already guessed what those politicians were thinking. They were simply unwilling to accept that they had not used a large number of nuclear weapons against him last time.

For these humans, the only way to get these annoying flies to stop harassing them is to make them realize fundamentally that their weapons are ineffective against them.
