After shutting down Selene's "Water Wings" once again, Hope laughed and said, "Don't bother, I can use Water Wings too. You can open a portal as many times as I can shut it down."
"Next, if you miss, go find Xiao Hei."
"If you want to live, come find me."
"Friendly reminder, you've probably heard of the Dark Mage, right? That old codger who pretended to be young got a good beating from me, so I suggest you crouch down with your hands on your head and give up resisting, otherwise..."
Hope waved her hand, and a huge suction force pulled Kurnuki, who was watching the show from the side, towards her. "Madam, you don't want anything to happen to your son, do you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Acnologia, cast disdainful glances at Hope, who had a lewd expression.
Which side is the villain...?
Chapter 297 The Moon Dragon in the Interrogation Room
Inside the dark interrogation room of the Edolas Palace.
Selene, handcuffed, sat in a chair, a bright light shining on her face. Opposite her, Hope and Acunorokia sat side by side behind an office desk.
"What's your name?" Hope, who had somehow acquired a police uniform, asked, his voice carrying a hint of authority.
Selene's lips twitched. If she had known that surrendering would mean playing house with these shameless humans, she would never have given in so easily...
Well, we still have to surrender, since we really can't win.
"Selene," the Moon Dragon answered honestly.
Hope nodded, pretended to take notes, and continued to ask, "Gender."
Selene looked down at her impressive figure, which made Wendy feel ashamed, then looked up at Hope and said helplessly, "Female."
Hope nodded. "Oh, female."
You fucking know that?!
Watching Selene's chest heave with anger, wanting to explode but not daring to, Acnologia, who was also dressed in a security team uniform and had been silently acting as an NPC, suddenly felt a little sorry for her.
I doubt anyone is better at manipulating people's mentality than Hope.
He suddenly started craving a food called melon seeds.
Hope continued, "Do you have any other family members?"
Selene took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound calmer. "A son, whom you used to blackmail me before."
"Criminal suspect Long, please watch your words."
Hope said seriously, "Sword Saint Dragon Kurnuki only put himself in this situation to help us capture you."
"Furthermore, as a mother who hasn't seen her son for decades, I have the right to sue you for abandonment."
Selene's vision went black. To judge a dragon using human laws—what a display of power!
If she weren't outmatched, she would have rushed up and pinned Hope to the ground and beaten her eight hundred times over.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the guts.
Actually, besides avoiding Acnologia, there was another reason why I left the continent of Ishgar in Selene: the Dark Mages.
In terms of the danger to dragons, black mages are no less dangerous than black dragons. Their inexplicable death power is so great that even dragons, as the most powerful magical creatures, are powerless against them.
But this human confidently claimed that he could hang up a dark mage and whip him.
Selene didn't know if it was true or not, but she understood that Acunorokiahop's different attitude was enough to show that this person was not simple.
Damn it, they clearly have great strength, yet they have to humiliate themselves like this. Are all the strong humans these days so twisted?
Tired... Let it all end...
Selene leaned back in his chair, giving him a "whatever" look.
Seeing her like this, Hope knew to keep things in check, so the prank ended there. He put down his pen and said, "Let's get down to business, Selene. Why do you want to kill the other five dragons?"
Selene, who was fully aware that Faris had betrayed her plans, made no further attempt to conceal the truth and confessed, "If I don't kill them, won't they come after me?"
The five dragon gods were at odds with each other, a fact that the water dragon Melkkobia had told Hope long ago.
Melkkobia had no intention of fighting the dragons again; he only wanted to stay in his little corner of the world and coexist with humans.
But other dragons might not think the same way.
According to the Moon Dragon, apart from the Water Dragon and the missing Gold Dragon, the Flame Dragon, Wood Dragon, and Earth Dragon all wanted to defeat the other dragons.
Moreover, they have one thing in common: they look down on humans.
"Even though he was scared out of his wits by a human dragon slayer mage 400 years ago and ended up fleeing to the northern continent, he still thinks humans are nothing."
Seleneru gave a mocking smile, "Don't you think they're ridiculous?"
"And what about you?" Hope asked calmly. "Is there any difference between what you did and what those three dragons did?"
"Of course there are differences."
Selene's expression was complicated. "I don't look down on humans like other pro-war dragons. It's kind of funny... even though I'm a dragon, I like to live like a human."
Selene was indeed cruel, but not without reason.
She and the other dragons believed that most humans were foolish, using their short lives to fight constantly, trying to put themselves above others, and some even killed each other, ultimately passing on their grudges to the next generation.
Yet these tiny humans radiate vitality, establishing prosperous and thriving communities.
Foolish yet loving others.
They hate, yet are also willing to share their joy.
The road ahead is long, but we still dream of the future.
From this perspective, Selene believes that humans and dragons are fundamentally no different; both are magical creatures driven by desire, except that dragons are naturally stronger than humans.
In fact, over the years, Selene had become accustomed to the human way of life. She liked these contradictory and weak creatures and even wanted to become a real human.
Selene believed that the age of dragons had long ended, and she regarded the other dragons as hostile targets simply because they were different from her and had no interest in understanding humans.
After all that talk and this whole charade, you finally tell me it was because of humans that you went to fight the Five Dragons... Hope doesn't know what to say about Selene.
He was both coercing Faris and attempting to control the dragon through the "White Annihilation Power".
If you want to get close to humans, why not do what the water dragon did?
Hope declined to comment on the Moon God Dragon's twisted ideas, instead inquiring about something else: "Is Elentia's expanding magic power related to you?"
"You are indeed clever."
Selene sighed, "Years ago, when I was searching for a way to deal with the Five Divine Dragons, I accidentally entered Elentia. I fell in love with the place and made Elentia my new home."
"But something unexpected happened. Because of my powerful magic, I broke the balance of magic in Elendia, causing that world to start producing magic like crazy."
"It was precisely because of this anomaly that I discovered the Land of White Annihilation, a family that has passed down the 'White Annihilation' magic for generations and can control magical power."
"You all know what happened next."
Chapter 298 Mother's Love and Son's Wheezing
The bright lights in the interrogation room were still blinding, but the atmosphere had subtly changed.
After listening to Selene's confession, Hope did not speak immediately. He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping the table rhythmically, a sound that was particularly clear in the quiet interrogation room.
Acnologia remained seated expressionlessly to the side, unmoved by Selene's attitude toward humanity and her transformation.
Because I have long been utterly disappointed and disillusioned with humanity.
Irene, the former mother of the Dragon Slayers, met a tragic end after being transformed into a dragon after the war between humans and dragons ended. In reality, people transferred their fear of dragons to the heroes who slayed the evil dragons.
As the strongest Dragon Slayer Mage, Acnologia's fate couldn't be any better.
After the war, his emotions gradually faded. He simply crushed a few scumbags who pointed fingers at him and tried to confuse him with dragons, and was then attacked by the crowd who feared his invincible power.
Ultimately, this led to the demise of a nation.
The "Dragon Slayer Hero" thus abandoned his last shred of humanity, transforming into a "Black Dragon" feared by the world, and shunning humankind.
Those humans who feared his greed finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and thus tacitly erased the history of the Acnologian humans and the history of their joint efforts to force a hero to become completely corrupted. They also compiled the news of the black dragon into the Book of Revelation and regarded it as taboo.
From then on, only the black dragon remained in the world.
However, some scheming individuals discovered the loophole and, after committing their misdeeds, directly shifted the blame onto the Black Dragon, since no one would defend him anyway.
Having taken the blame for so many things, Heilong gradually earned the reputation of being extremely evil.
Selene believed that dragons and humans were no different, so she became fascinated with the human way of life and even wanted to become human.
Acnologia, who deeply understood that the inferiority of humans was no different from that of evil dragons, naturally equated the two races, only placing himself in a higher position.
Humans? Dragons?
In terms of killing, there is indeed no difference.
In other words, Acunorokia doesn't care.
Otherwise, if we follow the brutal description of him in the Book of Revelation, it would be a miracle that the continent of Ishgar has survived unscathed for 400 years.
To put it bluntly, Acnologia's frequency of causing trouble is far less than rumored; he spends most of his time alone.
In other words, he will only venture out for a stroll if he senses the presence of a powerful Dragon Slayer Mage or the aura of a bloody war.
Now, he has something more worthy of destruction, and humans and dragons are no longer even worthy of his amusement.
“How boring.” Acnologia stood up and looked at Hope. “Let’s end this childish game and take me back to Aslant.”
Sensing the sudden increase in magical power around Acnologia, which seemed to indicate that he was in a bad mood, Hope didn't say anything and directly activated 'Wings of Water' to connect to the world of Aslant.
As Acnologia's figure disappeared into the hydrofoil, Selene's tense heart finally relaxed a little. She was really afraid that the black dragon would be displeased and kill her.
She hasn't had enough fun yet.
Start your day with a soak in the hot springs, sunbathe in the hot springs at noon, and enjoy the moon and drinks while soaking in the hot springs in the evening, perhaps even getting a massage from two maids...
Three hot springs a day is just wonderful!
As long as she's happy, it doesn't really matter what the world becomes to Selene, of course, that's only if there's nothing that can threaten her, which is why she has the plan to deal with the other dragons.
Unexpectedly, before even getting started, they ran into a black dragon...
"What do you plan to do with me?" Selene's tone relaxed as Acnologia left.
