Under the Red Dragon.

"Now, the sun in this universe of the Great Other Shore has long since lost its brilliance, and the divinity and immortal essence of the Sun God can no longer return. He has been suppressed by the great enemy who killed him, causing the positive forces of all things in this universe to begin to become unbalanced,"

As Mostima recounted the story, Charon was truly surprised to find that the outside world was in such a chaotic state that even the gods of some universes were now fighting for their own future.

Although he had never seen the sun god in this universe, in the rules of every universe, among the symbols representing the darkness of the world and the righteousness of all things, the sun would undoubtedly stand more or less on the opposite side of the darkness of the world and occupy a certain weight.

The darkness of the world exists as the main body of the bottomless abyss in some universes, while in others it manifests in another form, such as hell.

But this hell is not the nine-layered hell inhabited by demons and ruled by demon princes.

Because every strong person who has advanced through orthodox inheritance knows that although the Nine Hells ruled by demons may seem to be on par with the Abyss, in fact, the Nine Hells were once just an insignificant part of the Abyss.

As one of the symbols of the righteousness of all things, the sun holds immense weight, which means that no sun god can be weak; at the very least, they must be high-ranking deities.

Some universes' sun gods were even immortal deities with power comparable to powerful gods from the very beginning of their existence.

Charon could roughly estimate the power of this sun god from the power emanating from Iomede, the first goddess of justice, and concluded that it could not be weaker than the goddess.

However, this deity died silently at the hands of other deities, and even its soul and divinity could not return from the other dimension. Its immortal nature was also suppressed by another sun god.

Although the immortal nature of these true gods makes them difficult to kill completely, Charon does not believe that this is eternal.

On the ultimate path of power pursued by this great red dragon, ease is also an essential link. Without this principle, power could never encompass all changes in rules and penetrate all subjects of time and space.

Perhaps the sun god in this universe will also be completely killed in the future, and his soul will sink into silence.

"Has the situation gotten this serious?"

Kalon frowned slightly, recalling the words of the white-robed mage who had once visited the Dragon King's Court.

However, it wasn't that Kalon intentionally ignored the white-robed mage's words at the time, but rather that the level of the Supreme God was still far beyond his reach and not something he should pay attention to.

However, Kalon also thought that the gods of the original universe rarely appear in the world now. Since the Golden Empire stepped out of the world of Ekania, it has been discovered that although other worlds are not completely ignored by the gods like Ekania, the power of the gods rarely manifests.

This situation has lasted for at least three hundred years.

Only those deities who attained godhood entirely through faith are relatively active.

"serious?"

"Hey!"

Mostima suddenly laughed, then sighed softly and said, "Although I don't know which specific universe you come from, you can secretly gather information after returning to your own universe."

"If the rules of your universe are still stable, and your sun god does not show himself, you might find that your sun god is no longer the same one he once was,"

Mostima chuckled softly, "The positive forces of the world often react a thousand times faster than the negative forces of the world to changes in the universe."

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are guys like me who don't always target the gods of order."

"However, when you face the truth, it's best not to reveal the secret to others, because the sun god in this universe discovered, in the battle for the sun's authority and divine rules, that Ra, the supreme sun god of the Oppolis pantheon, had actually already been replaced and devoured by the incarnation of the Eastern Golden Crow sun god,"

"This unfortunate fellow will never be able to return to his divine kingdom!"

"However, even the gods in this pantheon do not know this."

Caron's expression was extremely solemn, because he had finally discovered that Mostima, this great demon, was dragging him into the 'abyss' with some secrets that should not be known to others.

Even though Caron was able to suppress his curiosity, some crises often occur unexpectedly.

After all, no one can imagine that simply talking to someone could bring danger.

Although he still had countless questions and doubts he wanted to ask this extremely mysterious demon, he did not speak again.

Caron did not press further or take up Mostima's topic; instead, he turned to look down at the palace.

An extremely powerful mental fluctuation descended from the sky and landed in the mind of the golden beetle that was being strangled by the ancient giant snake and was emitting mournful cries.

"If you wish to escape your destiny of death, O primordial gods, open your mind and body, and I will grant you the power to escape your fate of death!"

"If you fear death, open your heart!"

The vast and powerful waves of emotion resonated within the giant beetle's heart, which was emitting mournful cries, countless times, until the golden beetle finally responded with a hissing sound to Kalon.

"Save me, I'm willing to open my heart and body..."

With a thunderous roar, an extremely powerful aura suddenly soared into the sky, and the mighty force passed through the void and fell directly into the body of the golden scarab beetle, imprinting the dragon's mental steel seal and beacon onto this primordial deity that had not yet awakened its intelligence.

Even the divinity of this ancient scarab was completely seen by Kalon at this moment. In that instant, the runes forged by magic filled every part of the giant scarab's body, and even the links of its divinity were marked by Kalon.

At the same time, the ancient giant serpent, whose ferocity was growing stronger, felt that the power that had been flowing endlessly from its body had disappeared without a trace. This feeling of emptiness after its sudden strength had diminished was something that the giant serpent found hard to adapt to.

The next moment, the giant golden beetle, which had been unable to move due to being entangled and suppressed by its body, suddenly collapsed, its shell and flesh shattering, causing the ancient giant snake to suddenly lose its target and miss its target.

But before the ancient giant serpent could react, the shattered flesh and shell scattered all over the ground actually reassembled and shrank, condensing in the void into a bell covered with protruding iron lumps, looking just like an ancient ritual instrument collected by many nobles.

But the bell only trembled slightly, yet the innate power of the primordial scarab was amplified tenfold by magic. The tangible sound waves directly stunned the ancient giant serpent, leaving it frozen in place.

Even the ancient serpent's thick, rugged scales were shaken and exploded by the immensely powerful sound waves, unable to withstand this attack that penetrated deep into the soul of living beings.

Kalon ignored the increasingly deep and rapid sound waves from the bell that the scarab had transformed into, and simply let the scarab, temporarily transformed into a magical artifact, relentlessly pound on the mind of the ancient giant serpent and attack its body.

Each time this golden scarab amplifies its power by borrowing Charon's strength, the mark of Charon within its divinity becomes more profound.

All Kalon needed to do was wait, wait for the golden scarab to inflict a fatal blow on the ancient giant serpent, wait for him to be able to completely control the soul of the golden scarab. Only then would the dragon truly make its move.

“So, who exactly are you, Mostima, and what is your real purpose in telling me these secrets?” Caron asked directly, setting aside other questions.

He was already prepared. If the demon's demands were too excessive, the great red dragon would immediately recall the golden scarab and use the artifact to try to forcibly suppress the great demon.

Although he wasn't entirely confident, Caron didn't like being led by the nose.

Do you know why I have so many secrets?

Mostima smiled and sat cross-legged beside the giant dragon with an air of nonchalance, seemingly oblivious to the deep malice and killing intent that had already welled up within the great red dragon.

"It's not just because my true form is ancient and powerful enough, but also because my eyes can see things that even gods cannot,"

The handsome ancient demon extended two fingers, pointing them back to his own eyes, and said, "There are many powerful ancient bloodlines in the world that are born with talents that even gods cannot match, and my eyes are one of them."

"Even though my true form is now infinitely far away from this universe and spacetime, I can still see some blurry images of your future path,"

Mostima turned to look at the great red dragon's pupils, which were beginning to ignite blue fire and lightning. The power contained within the lightning and blue fire was so great that it stung his eyes.

But the ancient demon said in an extremely relaxed tone, "Don't worry, the power of my body is not enough to see through all your origins, nor can it reveal what trump cards you possess."

"However, I do know one thing: although you have not yet embarked on the path of the gods, there will come a day when you will reach a level where you stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods."

"But the path you choose is destined to be feared by the gods. No god would willingly share their authority with another, especially one who wants to defecate on their heads."

"Unless you can always remain patient and not try to reach a higher level, you will face an insurmountable predicament whenever that day comes."

Mostima chuckled and said, "Even if you have many trump cards and outstanding strength, without the help of friends who have reached a certain level, the best outcome for you is to be besieged by the gods, completely dismembered and suppressed, and never able to be resurrected or rise again."

"Even if Tiamat and Bahamut, the dragon gods in your universe, were willing to help you, they would not be able to withstand this torrent of gods."

call,
A pale blue flame blazed up between Charon's fangs. The Flame of the End of Life was already incredibly terrifying, and now that it possessed its own will, even the divinity within Mostima sensed a threat of impending destruction.

"Do you have a plan? You look so confident."

Kalon forcibly suppressed the destructive urge surging within him, a murderous intent born from the rage that his path had been spied upon.

"I certainly cannot help you defeat the gods, but I have a way to save you from the fate of being killed and completely suppressed by them,"

Mostima's expression suddenly turned serious, and he slowly said, word by word, "This is our deal: I help you, you help me."

"I want you to go all out for me at a crucial moment in the future, no matter the cost!"

Karon narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping across the great demon's face, carefully observing every expression on the creature's face.

"If I were to go all out regardless of the cost, and that cost me my complete death, what difference would it make from being killed and suppressed by the gods?"

"How could you possibly die?"

Mostima smiled and shook his head, slowly saying, "Once you reach the level where you need to go all out for me, there will probably be only a handful of beings in the endless universe capable of completely killing you."

Caron remained silent for a long time. Reason told him that he should refuse the other party's request for cooperation, after all, the words of a demon should not be believed.

But his intuition told him he should believe the great demon.

Kalon's driving force for the Golden Empire's continuous progress and growth was also a preparation for his own path.

But with the help of this mysterious demon, things might be easier for him in the future.

"Okay, our deal is done!"

Caron finally exhaled slowly and spoke.

"Hehe, actually you still benefited,"

Mostima said, "After all, I can't be sure you'll get there in the future. I'm just investing in advance and taking on the risk of sunk costs!"

"Just like many gods playing chess everywhere, perhaps you are just a useless piece in my game."

“However, you and your companions should not linger here. I have brought your companions with me.”

"When you need me in the future, I will naturally find you!"

Caron was slightly distracted, and the figure of the mysterious demon in front of him had faded away again. Even Caron could not fully grasp the direction of this demon.

The multi-armed giant Mogeyes appeared in the center of the palace, bound by a black rope, his head bowed, seemingly asleep.

“Wake up, Mogeyes,”

Charon walked to the giant's side and slammed his claw into the giant's head, instantly waking the giant.

However, Charon always felt that the gaze of this multi-armed giant was somewhat teary-eyed, but Charon quickly dismissed the thought.

After all, Mogeyes's head was exceptionally hard, and it was not something that could be damaged by a casual strike.

"How did I get here? What happened, Gogmora?" Mogyes seemed to have only been mentally controlled by magic before, but now that he had awakened, he spontaneously broke free of his bonds.

"How would I know? I was going to ask you that."

Caron replied casually, "But whatever happened, we have to get out of here."

"We should quicken our pace!" (End of Chapter)
