Throne of the North.

Chapter 645 The Demigod's Deal, The Only Lord Who Can Listen to Believers
Ryan returned to the frozen tundra with a woman whose magnanimity astonished even Bogeld.

She felt as if she had found the reason for her previous failures: there was no standard.

"Boss Avril, Mr. Ryan is getting a new boss! She's the boss now!"

"what's your name!"

Ryan was exasperated, wishing he could kick her, but she was too far away, and a woman with crystal eyes appeared behind her.

She is very tall.

"This is Lady Isabella."

Ryan whispered to Archbishop Adriana, wanting to stay behind her. He had witnessed the pressure of a demigod before, one who possessed the extraordinary ability to change the entire world.

Adriana looked at Isabella, a fleeting, brilliant light of dawn flashing in her eyes.

"Born with divinity, you rewrote the destiny of the primordial chaos and became a demigod with a mortal body. The Moon Lady actually allowed you to obtain the destiny of a demigod?"

"What does this have to do with Lady Moon?"

Ryan was curious, as he still only had a vague understanding of what the Great Beings were.

"The Moon Lady, who also embodied Destiny, is called the Destiny Lady by believers."

“But Princess Isabella, as far as I know, is a Dragon Chosen.”

Archbishop Adriana pondered for a long time, or perhaps she gained something from the dawn, and said:

“They all belong to the old day.”

Ryan thought of his spiritual panel; even divinity has different levels, such as the eternal, the ancient...

Do they belong to different camps?

The Dragon God is getting close to the Moon Goddess?

"I don't understand," he said, looking at Isabella. He invited both of them into the castle in Rhinoceros Horn Mountain. There was no way around it; with the power of a demigod, he could destroy the Frozen Territory no matter where he fought.

"Where did you get this thing from?"

Isabella took out the Frost Demon Crystal and asked Ryan directly. Ryan thought for a moment and said:
"The North is too vast, and this thing was obtained by chance."

"It's vast for you, but not for me."

"This thing doesn't exist on the continent of Norris, nor could it possibly exist."

"It contains an ancient, unknown, and divine quality that only gods possess."

“I was born from this power.”

Spirituality? As a former chosen one of the dragons, Isabella possessed a trace of the Dragon Emperor's original power. However, now that the Dragon Emperor is dead, although Isabella has become a demigod under the Dragon God, her original essence still retains spirituality.

As the saying goes, there are only born demigods, not those who grow and reach the top through hard work.

Isabella was deeply influenced by the Dragon Emperor in her origins.

The Dragon Emperor is dead, and everything about him is collapsing, which deeply affects Isabella.

She needs the origin of those great beings belonging to the "spirit" among the ancient gods.

The Frost Demon was born from the bones of an ancient serpent spirit, containing a great origin.

"Do demigods need this?"

Ryan didn't deny it, but asked curiously, "If even demigods covet it, then that would be a bit troublesome."

"do not know."

Each demigod is unique, like a legendary gift, and cannot be replicated.

"But I really don't have any left."

"This thing is very precious and rare. I was just lucky to find it."

"where is it?"

Isabella stared at Ryan, her voice as cold as a dragon's as she spoke:

“I know you can open spatial portals, but Norris can’t. That means it’s in another dimension.”

Isabella certainly knew Ryan, and she was deeply wary of his power. He had once been possessed by divine power, yet he was still able to maintain a complete human soul, which was simply unbelievable.

Ryan was wary of Isabella because he knew her strength, while Isabella, on the other hand, was wary because she had witnessed it firsthand.

Humans are special. Many great beings have tried to gain their faith. The Dragon Emperor succeeded, but only among a small number of humans in that other world.

It is precisely for this reason that Isabella holds the power of the Lord of Dawn in infinite awe for the continent of Norris.

Just like that legendary space magician, the more you get to know him, the closer you become, the more you understand what fear is.

"That world has been destroyed. The demons of the abyss coveted everything in that world and dragged it into an endless abyss of depravity."

Isabella looked at Ryan, her eyes already showing signs of losing patience.

"You don't understand the Abyss. All matter in the Abyss contains the aura of the Abyss, which can never be dissipated."

"But it doesn't."

As Isabella finished speaking, the surrounding void distorted, and through the blur, Ryan saw a gigantic tidal dragon about to unleash a catastrophe upon the desolate land.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Seeing that everything around them was shaking, Ryan spoke bluntly.

"But let's make this clear first, it belongs to me."

Ryan opened the dimensional portal, and both women looked at the entrance to Lake Nam before turning to look at Ryan.

"What kind of power is this? I can't sense any fluctuations in the laws of space."

"Even a great being has never appeared."

"This shows your ignorance; do you even know about the abyss and the soil?"

"do not know."

"Do you know about the great tree beyond this world?"

"do not know."

"So you know nothing at all?"

"do not know."

Isabella looked at Ryan and asked:
"Outside the world? A giant tree?"

"What does the abyss have to do with soil? There's nothing there."

"Your question."

Ryan straightened his back.

"I do not know either."

Ryan took the lead and stepped into the dimensional portal, followed closely by two unfathomable mountains. Upon arriving in the world of Svafnir, the biting desolation and frost made both of them feel uncomfortable.

"This world is dead."

"But it is still breathing."

Almost instantly, Isabella located the large number of Frostfiends hidden deep in the North. As the power of the tide swept across the sky, a dense rain began to fall on Ryan's head.

Every raindrop is a frost-demon crystal.

"Is this what you mean by rare, precious, and hard to come by?"

Even Isabella, with her exceptional patience, couldn't hold back any longer.

"Isn't it?"

"The effort I expended when catching them is unimaginable."

Ryan, unwilling to admit it, quickly changed the subject, saying:
“These are my property. If Your Highness Isabella wants some, I can give them to you.”

“That’s not enough.” Isabella shook her head; what she needed was far more complex than that.

She looked north and was about to fly in that direction when Ryan quickly stopped her.

“Your Highness Isabella, let’s get this straight first: this world belongs to me. I know exactly what you want, but you can’t take what belongs to me for nothing.”

Isabella looked at Ryan, her pupils gradually narrowing.

“Every alternate dimension belongs to its great being, not to you, humankind.”

“He is dead, and He chose me.”

“Your Highness Isabella, the former Chosen One of the Dragons, your god also chose me. In a sense, I am your god.”

"You are not qualified to negotiate with me."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, he took a step back, and the dimensional gate enveloped him and Adriana.

In an instant, the two returned to Rhinoceros Horn Mountain.

“The power of a demigod, even a fragment of her soul, can stir up the tides. She is dangerous. Even if I call upon the power of the Lord, I cannot kill her.”

Archbishop Adriana showed no fear in her eyes. The Lord of Dawn had simply not yet awakened, and as His followers, they should never fear anything else.

Her devotion was so steadfast that even the North could not cool the burning passion of her faith in the Dawn.

"When should we see her again? I'm going to miss the prayer."

Ryan thought for a moment and said:

"About two hours."

Two hours later, the dimensional gate opened once more, and Ryan immediately saw the devastation ravaged by Swafnir.

The power of a demigod is directed at a half-dead, alternate dimension. This world has no chance to resist and can only silently endure everything.

Ryan and Isabella were quickly sensed; before they even got close, Isabella saw the outline of the dimensional gate behind Ryan.

“Last time you smuggled yourself into Norris with me, I didn’t hold it against you, but now you want to take advantage of me for free, that’s unreasonable. Now that I’m in charge of the Northern Territory, if I’m allowed to have my wealth robbed without any reason, how am I supposed to manage all my noble followers?”

"Trade has rules. Only wild beasts plunder savagely, and dragons are wild beasts too."

Ryan looked at Isabella. He was indeed afraid of demigods, but he had killed gods before. Demigods made him fear them, but they could not make him lose everything to serve them.

That's a qualification even gods don't have.

"You think you can kill me? Human?"

Isabella let out a deep roar, and the next moment a torrential rain began to fall, as if a curtain of rain had covered the wandering land.

The tidal dragon, appearing and disappearing in the mist, came into view. Ryan, drenched in the rain, roared:
Do you think I can't kill you?

"Can you leave this world?"

"I can wait ten years to kill you, but can you leave this world within ten years?"

"Do you know what lies beyond this world? It's the abyss! The demon lords are opening their mouths, waiting for you!"

"You can't live without it, but I have plenty of time."

In an instant, the rain stopped and the sun overhead shone brightly and clearly. Adriana squinted, feeling that God might still favor this world.

Isabella was floating naked in mid-air, which seemed quite normal; I'd never heard of clothes being something that could be conjured up.

Ryan's eyes widened. It seemed that there was no difference between a dragon and a human, except that the dragon was a bit taller.

"Then let's make the deal."

Isabella looked at Ryan with eyes as cold as ice. She couldn't outrun Ryan, nor could she leave this otherworldly plane on her own.

Why are space mages so rare? So many alternate worlds are covered in apocalyptic events, and even powerful superhumans can only perish helplessly.

While demigods are powerful, the power of rules is decisive.

Her two-hour rampage proved Ryan right.

"I can't give this to you."

Ryan picked up the Frost Demon Crystal from the ground and felt the surge of power emanating from Isabella once again.

"Unless you can provide me with a continuous supply of Frostfiend Origin Crystals, which are crucial to my territory, comparable to the Highlands of the Empire."

“The remains of a great being can satisfy all your needs and even give you more power, but I still need Him.”

"If you can do that, then it doesn't matter if you destroy the world."

"If you can do this one simple request, our deal is done. If you can't... I can't let a demigod leave."

After Ryan finished speaking, he retreated back to Rhinoceros Horn Mountain.

"I will know whether you succeed or fail, even in another world."

Svafnir, Archbishop Adriana, and Isabella signed a pact, the power of which was inscribed by the divine power of the Lord of Dawn, a pact that even demigods were not qualified to resist.

It could even be said that any level of superhuman or even mortal can find a way to fight against them, but only at the level of demigods will their contracts be eternally watched.

Because even great beings covet that unique divine essence within a demigod.

"My lord will purify this world. You need not worry about the abyss beyond this world. Under the light of dawn, darkness has nowhere to hide."

Isabella snorted coldly, turned and flew towards the depths of the North, landing above the land of bones, waiting for the earth to crack open at a certain moment, before countless frost ghosts could even realize what was happening and were already swallowed up.

Isabella disappeared into the cracks in the earth, into a world formed of bones, enveloped by countless ancient energies. For the second time in countless years, she felt the warmth of being enveloped by the primordial source, as if she were born from a place filled with warmth.

"Spirituality, is this the energy beyond the primordial chaos?"

"That human, how is he able to utilize spirituality? This is something even gods cannot do."

Isabella was immersed in the boundless divine origin. She finally sensed the ancient tree, the veins of the World Tree, which were the primordial essence that permeated all things. She wandered through it with her spirit, just like water and oil, which could never be fully integrated.

They do not interfere with each other, yet they are equally great.

“Spiritual beings, masters of the spirit of all things, please hear my prayer.”

Rhinoceros Horn Mountain.

Ryan looked at the spiritual panel. He had to feed the dragon spirit every day, and before he knew it, the dragon spirit had become a major consumer of spiritual energy.

"I still have spiritual beings to nurture, so you should eat less."

Upon hearing Ryan's words, the dragon spirit wagged its tail in grievance and then spat in a certain direction. Ryan also noticed that the spiritual energy he had fed to the dragon spirit had been spat out again.

He checked it twice and confirmed that his spiritual balance had not increased.

"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Give it back to me! Where did you put it?"

Ryan was a little angry; he was rebellious, he had already begun to rebel!

After a long time, Ryan had a guess. Looking at the opened dimensional gate, he wondered where Isabella, the demigod dragon girl, could obtain her spirituality from.

In this extraordinary world, after the interdimensional war of the gods, the great beings of the spiritual faction have all been defeated, and with their last strength, they have only managed to plunge their enemies into a deep slumber in the North.

They have perished, so where in this world, besides ourselves, is there any place that possesses spirituality?

No more.

"A demigod."

Ryan was both expectant and melancholy; it was too big, and he was afraid he couldn't hold it with his hands.

"I don't need it, I don't need it for the time being."

Ryan told himself that he already had enough power, but it wasn't to the point where he needed a demigod.

But if we take it one step at a time, there will always be opportunities.

You are the only source of spirituality.

Only he himself could feed a demigod of primordial spirit.

She should just bear with it for now.
