Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 87 A Contract

Human nature has a noble and beautiful side, but it also has a base and cruel side.

Even in the current Second Age, which has just passed through the most difficult era thanks to the birth of two gods through humankind.

Conflicts between people and between people and other living beings have been quietly brewing.

As human dualistic beliefs spread, although the concept of a nation developed, it was essentially a system of city-states that brought together all human tribes.

But it's really not necessary to exterminate all non-human races because of this.

Even the ancient sun god who fought against one ancient god after another later ushered in a glorious era of racial integration, instead of exterminating all non-human races.

Helmani also did not know why the extraordinary races such as dragons and giants in the video plot were wiped out, which was suspected to be related to the great cataclysm of the fall of the "ancient sun god".

The fact that this intelligent dragon saw the same future means that, at least to some extent, it foreshadows that Helmaene's current power has failed to change the future of the extinction of the extraordinary race.

The "Banquet of Betrayal" that led to the fall of the ancient sun god and the "Great Cataclysm" that nearly wiped out all life on the Eastern Continent...

But how could such a thing happen again in a world where even the ancient sun god has not yet been born?

Hermaine naturally thought of herself.

If this were to happen again, the only one who could replace Tomoya would be her, the "Sun Goddess"...

But she would not accept such a future.

In response to the question posed by the Dragon of Wisdom, Helmani replied devoutly and firmly, "Humanity is not the primary cause, but my Lord will not allow such a future."

Upon hearing Helmaene's words, the Dragon of Wisdom revealed its dragon form. The twilight that bathed the sanctuary did not sense the Dragon of Wisdom's malice, nor did it decay or hinder its actions.

The Dragon of Wisdom looked at Helmaene and spoke:

"I can sense that you possess the power of 'contracts.' Your master, the 'Sun God,' likely holds the authority over 'contracts.' I wish to enter into a contract with humanity."

Helmaeus calmly met His gaze and listened to the dragon's thoughts.

The dragon of wisdom, with its amber eyes wide open, continued:

"Before I came, my 'king' prophesied that I would encounter calamity here and lose the divine power of the 'Dragon of Wisdom,' so my 'king' advised against this action."

"Uh, I did have that malicious intent..." Helmaenie asked疑惑地, "Then why did you still come?"

The dragon of wisdom slowly said:

"Although I do not know the reason, the essence of prophecy is deduction. From this, I can deduce that the two human gods need the divine power within me."

"Therefore, I want to use this divine power as a price to obtain the promise personally made by the two gods, a promise for the future where the dragon race can survive."

In other words, they exchanged their internal characteristics for the continuation of the dragon race in the future.

Helmani asked curiously, "Didn't you ever consider that we could hunt you down here and seize your divine power?"

The wise dragon said fearlessly, "To change the prophesied future always requires repeated attempts. I am prepared to bear all the costs. That is why my 'king' did not stop me from this journey."

While these words may sound selfless and fearless, such behavior ultimately reflects the "surrender faction" when a race faces a crisis.

However, even the "Dragon of Imagination" tacitly approved of this act of surrender, which indirectly proves the pessimism of these dragons who can predict the future.

It's no wonder that the "Dragon of Imagination" is trying to win over the wolf clan and risk contact with underground pollution to gain power... These can be considered attempts by the "war faction" of the dragons.

However, the fact that the Imaginary Dragon has never considered reconciliation with humanity, despite its pessimism, proves that its pride and ambition have not been extinguished.

However, the intelligent dragon's request to meet with the two human gods at this time...

This is actually a kind of test.

Hermaine's consciousness returned to the dream space, where she surprisingly sensed the aura of the "Dragon of Wisdom," which meant she could summon the Dragon of Wisdom's consciousness here.

However, this kind of summoning is not consistent with the existence of Amanisis, Lilith, Amon, etc.

Hermaine first summoned Amanisis before attempting to summon the aura of the Dragon of Wisdom.

The "Dragon of Wisdom," Herabergen, who was quietly waiting in the Twilight Sanctuary, suddenly felt his consciousness being forcibly pulled by some great force.

After his consciousness passed through layers of shadows, he stood on a flat ground, looked up, and saw ten towering stone pillars.

Two imposing figures stand atop the two illuminated stone pillars.

One was a huge beam of light and shadow.

One was a black figure shrouded in orange-red.

The two figures were towering and majestic, their presence practically obscuring the sky and earth.

Only faintly visible behind these two towering figures is a waterfall of light and shadow that obscures its upper and lower ends.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

These two conceptual beings are... two human gods!

"The Sun God" and "The Lord of Twilight"!

At this moment, the towering, mountain-like giant of light and shadow spoke in a majestic voice:

"Herabergen, the Dragon of Wisdom, I grant your request and hereby enter into a contract with you."

"When the 'Dragon of Imagination' falls, when the dragons lose their king, I, the 'Sun God,' will protect the dragon race as I have protected humankind."

"And the price you paid was to sacrifice the two extraordinary characteristics within you, the 'Cherarchs' and the 'All-Knowing Eye,' to me."

The aura of the "Sun God" was even more terrifying than that of the "King"!

At this moment, Herabgan was filled with fear. Many unspoken thoughts vanished in an instant. The dragon prostrated itself on the ground and truly made its choice: "Praise be to my Lord."

As for the characteristics of that unfamiliar name, it must be the divine power within Him.

The contract is established.

However, Helmaenie needs to find a way to extract the two properties from the Wisdom Dragon's body.

If she is the true "Sun Goddess," she could use her "purification" power to extract these two characteristics from the dragon of wisdom when it submits.

Unfortunately, she was an imposter...

However, Helmayne has an alternative.

In the twilight sanctuary, Amon, summoned there, stood before the body of the unconscious dragon of wisdom.

He stretched out his hand to the dragon of wisdom, wielding the authority to "steal"...

"It's more difficult than I expected... I'll have to ask the 'Sun God' for compensation afterwards." Amon muttered, a faint gray mist rising from his body, and several slippery tentacles protruding from under his loose robes.

With the boost to his rank from the "Source Castle," Amon was able to truly steal the two most extraordinary traits from the body of the Wisdom Dragon.

Inside the dream space.

Heraborg felt his entire body being burned by some strange flame, and he felt his inherent nature being extracted by a force. He suppressed all instincts of resistance and silently endured this pain.

When the power belonging to God completely disappeared from His body, He became extremely weak...
