Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods

The dragon spirit Drag squatted on the clean floor, the rays of light shining through the huge hole spreading evenly like gold across his white scales.

After the dragon spirits had fully expressed their demands to the god of vengeance, he fell silent, respectfully giving the divine being time to consider.

Drag lowered his head slightly. Although he did not look directly into the eyes of the god, the expectation in his dragon eyes grew stronger. Once the cooperation between the two sides was achieved, anything was possible.

He could clearly feel the air become still, and the sound of every speck of dust falling was clearly audible.

A moment later, he received an answer.

He could clearly feel those extremely oppressive eyes move slightly, their gaze lingering on him. Although there was no malice in them, it sent chills down his spine.

The chilling voice of the divine race, like countless layers of men, women, and children, seemed to echo through time and space, reaching the ears of Dragg at every point in time.

"Let her talk to us herself."

Upon hearing this, Dragron's expression froze, but he realized that he was indeed not qualified, so he lowered his head in response.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will convey your message to Reginlev."

As he finished speaking, he stretched out his six limbs like a feline, and like a fish entering a river, he smoothly disappeared into the gap of time, leaving behind a rippled mirror of time and space.

Almost simultaneously, another spacetime mirror unfolded, its even larger outline emerging, its long tail gliding through the air, causing slight ripples to spread across spacetime itself.

One of the three great dragon kings of the dragon spirit species, and the only existing dragon king, the wise dragon, Reijin Levi, has arrived.

She has dark red scales, a huge head with three horns of different lengths on top, a body tens of meters long, and a long tail that ends up like a fish tail.

Reginlev raised her head, facing the newly born divine species, and her deep female voice followed.

"I have arrived, God of Vengeance."

As a high-dimensional being active in multiple dimensions, she could even set off after being invited by the god of vengeance, and arrive here before he made the invitation.

The reason we didn't do that is because only those who are invited can be considered guests. If someone comes without an invitation, it would be considered an intrusion, and they would easily be killed.

Even her dragon companion dared to come here after asking the human race to deliver a message beforehand, instead of barging in directly. She would naturally not make such a basic mistake.

Mara looked at the Dragon King, who was a size larger than Drag but whose power was vastly different from his, and sensed the spacetime power that was constantly flashing around her.

She has a deep understanding of the use of time and space.

The other dragon spirits can only transfer the damage from attacks that land on their scales to themselves at other points in time to share the burden, but she can passively transfer things that come within a certain range of her to other timelines.

She doesn't necessarily have to bear the consequences herself. Although she is also "one drop of blood", she surpasses her counterparts in all aspects of stats and has a much higher margin for error than her follower.

Mara was not surprised by Conglong's sudden appearance, listening to her emotionless voice fall.

"Why would you consider allying with me?"

In response, Reginlev's face revealed a meaningful expression, and he said pointedly, "We dragon elves are multidimensional life forms."

"You mean, you saw the future?" Mara was not surprised by this; he had such a person by his side all the time.

In a way, Goldras and the Dragon Spirits seem to have some similarities. Both are active at special nodes in spacetime and possess great power and defense.

However, unlike Goldras, it is not so overpowered in its mechanism, nor does it have the ability to make words come true. Consequently, it is not so vulnerable to being instantly killed if its defenses are breached.

but…

Goldras and the Dragon Spirits have many similarities. If possible, it would be good to bring back the Dragon Spirits' spacetime manipulation and talent analysis to it.

As Mara thought this, Regin Levi shook his head and whispered, "No, we cannot see your future. Not only that, but even the world's original destiny has been shrouded in mist, becoming unpredictable."

"It's all because of your arrival that I made the decision to try to form an alliance with you."

Faced with Mara's doubts, the last remaining dragon king answered them without reservation.

She explained that dragon spirits are born from the remains of gods, and are at their peak at birth, with no possibility of further growth; their strength is forever fixed within a certain range.

Over the long course of time, there have been three dragon spirits like her.

The most powerful dragon, Hatirem, engaged in a final battle with the war god Artesius, but was ultimately defeated and killed on the spot.

Another dragon king, Yanlong-Lanyarev, and his dragons clashed with the neutral machine-type creatures and were also killed by them after the battle.

Although the Elven adaptability of the Mech race is at a low to mid level, their collective strength is exceptionally powerful. Even the mighty Dragon King and his dragon companions could not escape death.

After that, the Dragon Spirits realized that they should put aside their arrogance and seek opportunities to continue their lineage.

Reginlev made many attempts to gather the remaining dragon spirits together and reorganize the scattered tribe into a decent collective.

Under her influence, the dragon elves even bowed their heads and chose to form an alliance with the goblins, who ranked eighth among the sixteen races.

Because the deity behind them, like the god of the forest, is one of the most powerful deities below the god of war.

By allying with Him, we at least gained a greater sense of security. As for whether the alliance with the goblin race would pose a threat to the God of War and his weapons...

The answer is yes, but not to the God of War himself. Rather, it poses a threat to the Skywing race that the God of War has allowed to roam freely. They are now hesitant to target the goblin and dragon races.

After the alliance was formed, the two races enjoyed a long period of peace.

After a long pause, Reginlev looked at Mara again, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "What, is there another problem?"

Mara didn't answer immediately, but looked at her and asked another question: "You just said you had an alliance with the goblins, and now you've come to me seeking an alliance. How will you treat them in the future?"

Mara suddenly wanted to see how much the goblin race meant to the dragon spirits, since they were the races that the dragon spirits had taken a liking to.

Upon hearing this, Regin Levi appeared quite calm and composed. "Naturally, we should dissolve the alliance, but if you also wish to bring the God of Forging to the alliance, I can make an introduction."

"But if you want to kill him like you would the Forest God, then I suggest you do it after the Dragon Spirits break their alliance with them. That way, we Dragon Spirits won't lose so much face."

She said that although the dragon spirit had lowered its head, it still had some shame.

If Mara wants to eliminate the goblin race and the God of Forging, then he shouldn't bring the dragon race along. After all, it's rather unethical to be in the Alliance one second and then stab your former allies in the back with a new one the next.

Regin Levi subtly hinted that the Alliance would be better off adding the God of Forging and his goblin race, who were now a force to be reckoned with, having found many unactivated divine essences and crafted them into incredibly powerful bombs.

Such bombs are exceptionally powerful; even a dragon spirit would be instantly vaporized if hit by one.

Finally, Regin Levi extended the final invitation for an alliance: "Interested in forming an alliance with the Dragon Spirits?"

"I believe that the God of Vengeance can see the sincerity we have laid out before you."

Regin Levi gazed at the divine being before him and asked meaningfully, "How is it?"

"..."

Under her gaze, Mara's reply echoed through the palace: "Very well, but I need a dragon spirit to remain in Eden. I am very interested in your life essence and your use of space and time."

Mara didn't care much about any alliance, but he wanted to understand the nature of the Dragon Spirits, a high-dimensional species, and their use of spacetime power.

This not only helps Goldras, but also provides inspiration for Mara himself.

Even Mara couldn't obtain this information through violence, since the most powerful killing move of the Dragon Spirits was the "Heaven and Earth Cannon" [Collapse Roar], which was unleashed at the cost of its own life.

Even someone as powerful as Mara couldn't stop their killing moves, because the dragon spirits were really good at committing suicide.

Mara's request was undoubtedly extremely unreasonable, because what he wanted was the very foundation of the dragon spirit race. If this foundation were easily revealed, other races could easily develop methods to counter it, causing the dragon spirit race's ecological niche to fall.

As Mara's voice faded, Reginlev's expression changed, and he fell into deep thought.

Mara didn't care; whether or not they formed an alliance wasn't of much use to him. But for Reginlev, it was a difficult decision.

One is the foundation upon which the clan stands, and the other is the possibility of ensuring the continuation of the entire clan by rewriting the course of war.

In the end, however, she gritted her teeth and agreed to the condition, on the condition that the God of Vengeance would not harm the Dragon Spirit race during the war, in order to ensure the continuation of the Dragon Spirit race.

"make a deal."

As Regin Levi's voice faded, he extended his claws, covered in tens of millions of scales, and probed into the spacetime dimension.

An immensely powerful force of spacetime extended from her claws, controlling spacetime itself to shift rapidly. She precisely seized a silver-white dragon spirit and, to the latter's bewilderment, pulled him out of the spacetime dimension. It was her follower, Drag.

As Regin Levi released his grip, Drag, his face filled with stunned confusion, fell to the ground with a dull thud. Looking up, he saw the Divine Race in his field of vision.

"..."

"here it is?"

He turned to look at his master, hesitant to speak, "You've sold your own servant..."

Dragg had just delivered the words of the God of Vengeance to his master and left, only to be dragged back to this place by his master a second later. He didn't know what had happened, but for now, he could only silently accept it.

Regin Levi turned his head away and gazed at the sun in the sky, as if captivated by the beautiful sight.

This sun is so bright...

Dragg sighed and bowed respectfully to the god of vengeance. "Once again, Your Majesty."

When he raised his dragon head again, he had fully accepted his fate and calmly asked, "Your Majesty Mara, what can I do?"

"Nothing needs to be done," Mara replied. "Just stay within the Garden of Eden."

"As you wish..." Drag replied, respectfully retreating outside the palace.

He crouched at the doorway like a cat, his long tail coiled in front of him, transforming into a cold statue.

Inside the hall, Mara looked at the enormous statue at the entrance and said thoughtfully, "That's your follower, why did you choose him?"

Regin Levi glanced into the distance, taking in the statues, the forest, and the human race. "It is precisely because he is my follower that I chose him."

"He originally had another colleague, but many years ago, he was killed alone by a fragment of the God of War, and his head was hung at the front of their lair."

"Leaving Dragg here will at least ensure his survival."

"Is that so?" Mara remained noncommittal, not dwelling on the matter further. "You've achieved your goal; you can leave now."

After leaving those words, Mara ignored Reginlev and devoted himself once again to digesting the life authority and analyzing the life essence of the dragon spirit.

The entire hall fell silent again, but Regin Levi was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he turned around and walked out of the towering doors with the graceful and light steps of a cat, standing outside the palace and watching the human race.

There was a time when even she hadn't paid much attention to humanity, a race so small it was almost indistinguishable from wild beasts, but the world changes too fast.

It happened so fast she couldn't react in time. The voices of the dying humans echoed through the elven corridors, awakening the essence of the god of vengeance, allowing humanity to rise up and even obscuring the prophecies of the dragon spirits.

Regin Levi gazed meaningfully at the humans. In her perception, the humans who had been granted the Elven Corridor had an average elven adaptability that even surpassed that of the goblins, pushing them down to ninth place.

It has almost caught up with the Forest Elf species, which still holds the seventh position even though its adaptability has been permanently reduced.

Although the adaptability ranking cannot represent pure combat strength, Regin Levi still saw the potential of the human race. Their ability and speed of learning magic were exceptionally amazing. Although the forest elves had stronger control, their growth rate was far inferior to these short-lived species.

Not only that.

In her eyes, the civilization, social order, understanding of various races, and possession of knowledge that humanity displayed at this moment shocked her.

Many races have been at war in this world for tens of thousands of years, and various spells and technologies have developed to a near-divine level.

Nevertheless, all races overlooked one fact: the races without the Elven Corridor were hiding so well.

"The world is truly amazing..."

Regin Levy made a self-deprecating remark with a meaningful tone:

"We have all overlooked this race, and never even considered how they survived to this day without the Elven Corridor."

"Is it because humans are too good at hiding?"

"Or is it because we are too arrogant?"

Regin Levi didn't know the answer, and there was no point in continuing the search, so he turned and entered the space-time continuum, disappearing from the Garden of Eden.
