The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Chapter 177 Guardian·Courage·Time Dragon God
The huge colorful dragon claws were lowered slowly, gently placing the corpses of the Sphinx couple, who had shrunk to more than three meters in size, together.

Blend of withered yellow and dark brown

The sphinx couple, who lived and died together, are intertwined in hair, as if they would never want to leave each other.

Their peaceful demeanor is not like facing death, but like falling asleep.

Even when the dragon claw was pulled away, it didn't seem to wake them up.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.

With the breeze blowing, a pure white feather flew out from the palm of the male Sphinx.

It slowly floated between the dragon and the corpse.

It fell on the blood-soaked ground.

Ron picked up the feather gently, put it in the palm of his hand, and felt its soft touch.

Ron looked at this feather of heaven, and suddenly recalled the scene when he met the male Sphinx.

"You kind of let go of me. We're singled out"

"Thanks to this Crystal Dragon Crown, we can escape the grasp of that voice."

"Maybe it's the sun god's blessing. I was lucky enough to obtain this material in the void after only searching for 136 years, but it seems that I don't need it now."

The simple and honest words seemed to be stuck in the previous second.

Thinking about it carefully, I have only known this Sphinx couple for less than a day.
But why.

Do you always feel uncomfortable when you see them passing away?

Ron quietly watched the pair of friends who had just met on the ground.

perhaps
It's because during their short time together, Ron saw sincerity and love in their mutual eyes.

perhaps
It is also because of their passing that Ron truly realized the fragility and preciousness of life, and cherished his life and the people around him even more.

Life is so short, death is so long.

Time is like a thief, stealing everything quietly.

look at everything

suddenly
Ron stretched out his dragon claws, and with divine power transformed into wind, he gently cleaned up the wet blood on the couple's bodies.

"I've heard it said"

"Some people are in a hurry just to be your passer-by, and some people are desperate just to stay with you in your life, but no matter how they stay to watch the flowers bloom and fade with you, you should cherish them. "

He slowly said what was in his heart, with a gentle golden glow in his hand, gently brushing the blood-soaked ground,
The blood that seeped into the earth seemed to be reversed in time, slowly separated from the soil, condensed into a ball and floated in the palm of the colorful palm.

"God exists, but he doesn't love you."

The bright red rolling blood reflected the figure of the colorful giant dragon, and the nine-colored dragon eyes that were neither happy nor sad.

At some point, Ron took off his disguise and returned to his original real body.

He slowly gathered all the blood together, allowing the surrounding land to return to its original state.

"Although I haven't known each other for long, the impression you have left on me is far more profound than that group of unnamed humans in the capital."

Ron slowly grabbed the floating ball of blood and moved it in front of him.

He looked at the liquid surging in front of his eyes, but recalled the scene of saying goodbye to the three rainbow dragon gods in his mind.

Faint energy fluctuations emanate from the body of the colorful dragon,

It was as if a gust of wind was blowing, gently pushing away the fine gravel on the ground.

"The group of gods said: The life of those mortal beings is only a short moment, and eternal sleep is their true destination."

Dots of green light emerge from the void,
Emerald light traces revolve around the colorful dragon, like tiny elves, wandering in the air.

Ron stared blankly at the ball of blood.

"But I don't believe it!"

The colorful dragon claws were slightly bent, and then they were grasped suddenly, as if they were integrated with the blood.

A hexagonal rune slowly emerged in the void.

It is different from the guardian runes summoned by Ron before.

In addition to the hexagonal frame on the outside, a new pattern slowly condensed in the center of the rune!
It was a prismatic shape that was too dazzling to look directly at.

It's just like.
a heart!

As Ron muttered to himself, more and more green light clusters floated in the air, so that they almost filled the entire core of the space.

"The things you guard with your life are being manipulated by those high gods and trampled on at will."

At this time, the emerald green light that appeared in the void almost illuminated the entire space,

"Gods like that are just false gods"

the moment the words fall
Ron suddenly felt something

He raised his head, looked at the guardian rune in the void and seemed to understand something.

It turns out that you didn't choose me
Instead, I chose you!

No magic was used, no divine power was used.

The green mysterious rune in the void slowly emerged with Ron's mind, and began to crazily absorb the surrounding energy.

"A person who is unscrupulous and disregarding everything is called vicious; but to be reckless for the people you care about and protect the people is called bravery and fearlessness."

"It is precisely because there is something to care about and something to protect that a person can become truly brave."

Ron looked at the slowly rotating guardian rune in his palm and the sudden appearance of guardian power around him.

Vivian's figure flashed in his mind.

At this time, he finally understood the true meaning of the power of protection.

He muttered to himself:

"It turns out that the other side of protection is called courage."

boom!
with the voice down
Countless green light groups in the air seemed to go crazy, and they all rushed towards Ron like a tide.

The so-called guardian rune is also a symbol of courage.

Hidden in Ron's body, the real power of protection finally fully awakened at this moment.

The guardian runes that have lost their camouflage are almost completely filled, and the vast power fluctuations echo in it.

Wave after wave of emerald green energy, the green ocean is constantly spreading, submerging the entire core space.

at the same time
Far away in the castle of justice in the royal capital
Vivian, who was lying on the bed in pure white pajamas and was about to rest, suddenly felt a strange feeling on the back of her right hand.

She raised her hand in surprise, looking at the back of her hand that was shining with green light.

"How is this going?"

At this time, the guardian rune imprint left by Ron on Vivian's right hand was shaking wildly, as if celebrating the birth of the real king.

"Ron, is that you?"

Vivienne felt the call hidden in the rune.

She felt that her body and soul were infected by this power, as if there was an invisible force in the universe supporting her behind her.

Vivian stood up, staring at the guardian rune on the back of her hand.

She knew that this must be what Ron was conveying, but she didn't know what it meant.

Vivienne took a deep breath and stared forward, showing a gentle yet firm demeanor.

Without the slightest hesitation, she clasped her hands together and poured all the guardian power in her body into the guardian runes.

"If you need it, please take it all!"

The emerald green light turned into a beam of light, piercing through the starry sky in an instant, illuminating the night in the capital.

Countless people were awakened by that voice, turned over and got out of bed, staring blankly at the sky-reaching pillar in the sky.

Tina, Shirley, Setsuna, Hermione, Carol and others arrived at Vivian's door almost instantly.

"In the end what happened?"

Shirley looked at the closed door and shouted urgently.

"Tina doesn't know, Vivian's room suddenly changed like this!"

Tina shouted anxiously, while the small black hammer in her hand was still trying to break open the door.

Similarly, Ji Mo's five-fold claw attack and Hermione's divine hair attack could not open the door.

The four of them had tried their best, but the door seemed to be made of pure gold, firmly keeping the four of them out.

"Did something happen to Ron?"

Carroll knew that his own strength could not help him much.

She didn't participate in the door-breaking operation, but picked up a blue wand and turned her head to look outside the house.

A large number of soldiers in full body armor are quickly surrounding the entire Castle of Justice.

"Fortunately, I notified my father as soon as possible. It should be safe here for the time being, but."

Carol frowned, thinking about the next coping strategy.

At this time, outside the castle of justice
If it weren't for the legendary mage Duke Green guarding the gate of the Castle of Justice, the entire Castle of Justice would have been overwhelmed by swarms of soldiers.

Rodney Green looked at the black soldiers in front of him and said expressionlessly.

"What are you doing here? This is the aftermath of my magic experiment, what? You also want to come as experimental material?"

"This"

The leading red-robed mage and the captain of the guard glanced at each other, a little embarrassed.

"Why, can't you hear me? Go back!"

Rodney suddenly flew into the sky, and the faint sound of waves began to echo in everyone's ears.

"No, no, please calm Duke Green, we will retreat now."

The faces of the two leaders suddenly turned pale, and they quickly waved their hands to signal the soldiers behind to retreat quickly.

Fight against the legendary mage Duke Green who holds the title of the contemporary [Neptune]?

How many lives do you have, so crazy?

Without the leader's urging, the surrounding soldiers had already dispersed.

The monthly salary is so little, no one wants to do this kind of behavior that is obviously death.

After making sure that all the soldiers and court mages sent by the king had retreated, the furious Duke Green fell to the ground.

He first turned his head to look at his daughter standing at the window of the castle with a worried face.

Rodney smiled and waved, indicating that he was fine.

Then he turned his head, looked at the familiar green beam of light in the air and remained silent.

Rodney Green has personally experienced the power of protection. Once he experiences that strange feeling, he will never forget it.

"It's such a strong breath, is it that adult?"

"What exactly happened to make such a big commotion."

------

heaven plane

This is the highest place in the Kingdom of God of the current Golden Dragon King Ares.

Even Tina, the most beloved little granddaughter of the Golden Dragon King, was strictly forbidden to come and play around here.

Although she is the princess of the Golden Dragon Clan, she doesn't know the true face here.

She had asked her grandpa many times, but the Golden Dragon King always avoided the topic and just said to her, "This is not a place for you, little guy."

At the highest point of the heavenly plane in the sky is a sealed space.

The sky is full of clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland.

Since no one has visited here for millions of years, the scenery here is extremely mysterious and spectacular.

In this vast sea of ​​clouds, a huge golden palace can be seen standing here.

The entire palace was engraved with countless silver and black runes, making the entire golden palace faintly visible in the long river of time, as if it existed and seemed to be nothing.

On the top of the gate of the palace, the words [Temple of Time] are inlaid with the power of time.

Inside the huge space of the Temple of Time.

Two giant dragons with a length of over [-] meters were silently looking at the twelve slowly rotating runes of different colors in front of them.

Three of these runes are already lit,

They are completely different from other dull runes, exuding strange rhythms as if they were alive.

Seeing the dim green rune in the center slowly light up, the two dragon gods looked at each other.

"The guardian rune has finally found its owner again."

The silver-gray dragon stretched out a dragon finger and gently pushed the lit guardian rune aside, blending with the other three lit runes.

The emerald green color is slowly connected with the three-color runes, illuminating the dark space,

The body of the silver-gray dragon is also fully revealed under this ray of light.

Charcoal scales clinging to the flesh, and a back without a high spine, gave the creature a sense of smoothness.

Hourglass-shaped black dragon scales surround the eyes like a mask, and twelve lines of unevenly spaced black scales radiate along the body, like annual rings.

A coronal pointer-like spike extends from the back of its skull, effectively doubling the length of its head.

The narrowest point of the triangular wings is connected to the back, and then gradually stretches out. The overall shape is like an hourglass, and the two spikes of different lengths protruding from the tail form the two ends.

If Tamara and the other dragon gods were here, they would definitely exclaim in surprise, the Dragon Lord God would appear in the Golden Dragon King's divine kingdom when the star world had disappeared for a long time!

"Are you sure?"

The golden dragon standing next to Time Dragon suddenly asked.

He is the Lord of heaven,
The dragon god known as the strongest golden dragon king in the past: [Aris Joe Carvajal]!
Since the previous Golden Dragon King was killed by the abyss, Ares has stood up.

He, who was still an ancient golden dragon at that time, became the new glory of the golden dragon clan, and successfully led the golden dragon clan to take revenge on Abyss twice.

He personally directed the big explosion on the plane of the bottomless abyss that shocked the whole world.

Countless abyssal creatures and lords died because of this incident, which almost triggered the second full-scale war between the abyssal gods and the dragon gods.

Also because of this incident, the abyss no longer dared to let the demi-plane or the main plane fall into the abyss, and the three abyss lords had to strictly inspect it before releasing it.

Today, His reputation in the Golden Dragon Clan can be said to be almost equal to that of the God of Good Dragons, Bahamut!

This is something that the previous Golden Dragon Kings have never done, which shows his ability and means.

Time Dragon God nodded, and said in a deep voice:

"Unlike the previous time branches, this one is a real awakening."

Golden Dragon King Ares frowned as he watched the remaining eight still dim runes floating in the air.

"So, when do we do it?"

"Tina is still with him, I'm worried."

Time Dragon God did not speak.

he raised his head
Look up at the imperceptible, never-ending river of time in the sky.

The invisible divine power of time pierces through all barriers in an instant

Crystal wall, space, stand.
Also, time is included!

The figure wrapped in the power of protection and shining with emerald green light slowly emerged from his silver-white pupils.

"There's no need to worry, above the sky, fate has already made arrangements, we just need to wait quietly."

"Time is on our side."

------

Thousands of miles away from the royal capital

Ron, who was in the core of the space, slowly stretched out his fingers, and gently touched the rune that absorbed all the green light.

"Bring their souls back!"

As the voice fell, the entire space began to change.

Ron felt the power in his body start to surge, and his body and soul were being surrounded by this energy.

That is a huge and boundless power of protection.

Compared with the guardian rune summoned by treating Duke Green before.

The guardian runes summoned by Ron this time are far superior in quality and quantity, and the difference between the two is like cloud and mud!
He felt the boiling protective power, as if he had become a part of this energy.

suddenly

Ron felt something in his heart, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Endless green waves swarmed his true spirit through the limitations of time and space, rushing towards the unknown end of time.

Led by the guardian force

Ron felt that his consciousness broke through layers of obstacles, and finally he was brought into a mysterious world before stopping.

Ron slowly opened his eyes,

The symbol of the guardian rune emerged from the emerald green eyes, and the original iridescent body completely turned into an emerald green illusory body.

In his heart, an almost substantial guardian rune was slowly spinning.

"Where is this place?"

Ron looked at everything in front of him in confusion.

He originally just wanted to try to use the guardian rune to call back the souls of the Sphinx couple.

After all, in the inheritance space of the Supreme Scepter, he was almost called back to reality by Vivienne with the power of protection. Maybe he can reproduce Vivienne's operation at that time.

However, the power of protection took the initiative to bring him to this strange place.

This is a world made entirely of black and white!

Here, Ron saw a scene he had never seen before.

The towering half towers, the white rocks and black stones suspended in the air, and the grasslands shining with magical light.
There are also groups of mysterious wandering giant undead creatures that are tens of thousands of meters tall.

however

In this world, the most conspicuous is not them.

It was the endless ocean of milky white souls floating in the sky!
Some of the large and small soul light clusters are as big as a millstone, some are as small as dust, some are as solid as a rock, and some are as loose as cotton wool.

With the surge of the soul ocean, they are constantly floating in the black and white world, like ghosts, looking down on the earth and the abyss below.

In addition to the soul sea, there are stars similar to the sun in the sky.

Unlike Karen, there are three suns hanging in the sky at the same time!

But the strange thing is that Ron didn't feel a trace of warmth in the sky after three days.

There is only the bone-chilling cold and the breath of silence here.

In the end, Ron's eyes fell on the end of the black and white world.

It is a narrow path leading to the sky.

At the end of the road, there are two faint soul light clusters, floating helplessly in the passage into the black and white world.

They supported each other, avoided those larger soul light clusters, and moved forward cautiously.

It wasn't until the emerald giant dragon descended in front of them that they stopped moving, trembling and standing in place, at a loss for what to do.

At this time, Ron's body was completely condensed by the power of protection, and the original colorful body turned emerald green, which looked a bit like a gemstone dragon made of emerald stones.

Ron didn't know where this was and how he got in.

But he could feel that the two groups of faint soul lights in front of him were the Sphinx couple!
Although Ron was a little curious as to why the souls of the two Sphinxes, who were clearly out of their wits, would reappear here, as long as they were found.

Looking at the two soul light clusters who seemed to have no mind, Ron showed a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"You two cheated a real dragon and still want to run away? It's not that easy!"

"Come and work for me honestly."

Ron looked at the two souls in his palm and said slowly.

"Next, you will break away from the fate set by those so-called gods. In the future, you will no longer be the toys of the gods, but become your true selves."

He stretched out his emerald green dragon claws, and gently absorbed the two balls of soul light into the heart formed by the power of protection, and moistened the two somewhat damaged souls with almost substantial light green energy.

Then, he waved his wings and soared into the sky.

This world composed entirely of black and white gave Ron a bad feeling.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible.

after an hour.
Looking at the two groups of weak Sphinx souls in the heart, Ron frowned.

"It's been like this for a while, if you stay for a while, I'm afraid the souls of the Sphinx couple will be completely assimilated and become part of the sea of ​​souls, right?"

Ron guessed,

This black and white world may be the end of all life in the legend - the realm of the dead.

This guess is based, and the endless breath of death is the evidence.

Ron could clearly feel that his protective power was being frantically consumed in order to resist the death breath around him, but only a tenth of it was wiped out in a short while!

This thing comes from the power of the "heart", and he hasn't figured out how to replenish it at the moment, so he has to save it.

Ron stretched out his palm, feeling the invisible aura fluctuations around him.

"Perhaps it's because the aura of the living on my body is too strong, and the aura of death around me is rushing towards me. I must leave here as soon as possible!"

"But how to get out? Why can't the plane teleportation circle be activated here?"

Just as Ron was trying to get out of here.

suddenly!

All the breath of death wandering around Ron dissipated invisible.

It was as if a mysterious force crushed them all at once, and the entire time and space seemed to be shocked to the extreme, and it seemed that a mysterious light could be seen spreading in a trance, rendering the black and white world more dazzling and gorgeous.

A sky-reaching avenue quickly spread from the tower to Ron.

The solemn and solemn atmosphere made people feel a shock in their hearts.It seems that the whole black and white world is feeling the surge of this mysterious energy.

At the same time, countless souls in the sea of ​​souls and powerful beings living in the realm of the dead all bowed in the same direction.

That attitude is like that.
Greet their gods!

Accompanied by violent energy fluctuations, a voice familiar to Ron echoed throughout the black and white world.

"It's all here, why don't you come to see me?"
