Make the dragon great again

Chapter 173 Everything extraordinary is the cancer of the world

In the depths of [Silver Forest], [Tree of Life] Isana Tower, in the canopy of the sky-covering tree, criss-crossing, contains some indescribable charm.

Anastasia was sitting on the edge of a huge leaf, looking at the forest of silver elves, which was known as the best scenery in the Silias continent.

At this time, the princess's eyes had transformed into the dark golden vertical pupils of a giant dragon, and some immature white scales appeared around the temples at the outer corners of her eyes, as well as at the forehead above the eyebrow arch.

[Tree of Life] The rich free magic power on the canopy allows Anna, who has entered a partial dragon state, to easily center on herself and form a magic vortex invisible to the naked eye.

She is practicing to master the increasingly powerful dragon blood in her body.

From the perspective of Anna who has now turned on [Magic Perception], the vast silver maple forest in front of her is filled with various magical clouds representing different attributes, and these "clouds" are slowly moving towards her at an extremely slow speed. The [Tree of Life] in the middle of the forest gathered here.

The roots of the [Tree of Life] all over the forest are providing nutrients for the continuation of life for this suspected demon species who is lingering under the impact of the [Death] rule.

"The existence of such an incredible scale actually stands quietly in a corner of this continent, and its existence time is estimated to be longer than the history of civilization of most Gaia species... It is really unimaginable, before the second era, among mortals Before the beginning of history, such fantasy creatures spread all over the world."

Anna once again felt the gap between the mortal race and the phantom race.

Over the past few years, with the continuous purification of the dragon blood in her body and the gradual improvement of her own strength, Anna has become more and more aware of the unreality of this world, and has become more and more confused about her own identity.

The mortal races, not only the Gaia subspecies, but even the long-lived species, really entered the main stage of history after the [Age of Gods] ended and after the number of fantasy species decreased sharply.

After the end of [Age of Gods], the material world that was originally beaten to fragments by mythical creatures and looked like purgatory completed the reshaping of the spatial structure and ecological system. main active person;
And when the Gaia subspecies relied on a higher and more stable reproduction speed than the long-lived species, replacing the long-lived species with difficulty in reproduction and becoming the mainstream, the time was only more than 3000 years ago.

This total of less than 2 years has been divided into two eras by "mortal races" such as the Gaia species and the longevity species, with their own rise and fall.

But before this, the era ruled by the phantom species, called the first era [Age of Gods] by mortals, started from the beginning of the birth of the Ayla world, before the Gaia species and the longevity species were born. It has continued for an unknown number of thousands of years...

Ordinary people don't have much research and documentation on the world before their birth, but Anna learned from Adrian that the [Age of Gods] lasted at least a million years or more!

"...Whether it is the third era that the Gaia species claimed to have won, or the second era that the long-lived species still remember, they are just a drop of water in the ocean in front of the [Age of Gods] where the fantasy species is active."

Anna stretched out her left hand, stroking the few smooth scales near the outer corner of her left eye.

Ever since her own strength reached the fourth level, the degree of purification of Anna's dragon blood seemed to have broken through a certain critical value. Since then, whenever she fully aroused the power sleeping deep in her blood, some places on her body surface would appear like Such a "dragonization" phenomenon.

Anna withdrew her left hand that was stroking her forehead, and stretched it forward, silently motivating the surging blood power in her body to temporarily converge on her left hand.

Under the sunlight, Anna's left hand, which was originally as clean as jade, was quickly covered by delicate white dragon scales, and the structure of the five fingers also changed, becoming more powerful, and dragon-like creatures appeared on the fingertips. retractable horny hooks.

Anna has actually been able to achieve a real "partial dragon transformation"!Just like Adrian had shown her when he first met Adrian.

Compared with the resistance and discomfort she showed when Mr. Ai De showed her partial dragon transformation, Anna didn't feel it at all at this moment.

On the contrary, when looking at the current appearance of her left hand, Anna actually felt that there was an indescribable beauty in it...

"Isn't it human... Why should everything in the world be based on human beings?"

While Anna was muttering to herself, the sound of "Shusha" was heard beside her, and at the same time, an ethereal, emotionless soft female voice came:
"Mortals are what the world of Ayla needs. Our fantasy species, even the long-lived species, and even all supernatural beings, to the world of Ayla, are just symptoms left over from the early immaturity."

Anna turned around, and saw some vines entangled in the top of the [Tree of Life], wriggling and gathering into a roughly human shape, from which the female voice came from.

"you are?"

"I am the Queen of the Silver Elf."

Although Anna was surprised that the elf queen appeared with such a face, she was still from the royal family after all, so she got up quickly and greeted the "elf queen" with very standard noble etiquette.

"Your Majesty, the First Princess of Bechymos, Anastasia sends you greetings."

Isanata's voice, lacking in emotional fluctuations, came from the human figure made of vines:
"I have learned about your human aristocratic etiquette. According to the standards of the human race, your etiquette is perfect."

"It is my honor to receive your compliment. May I ask why Your Majesty wants to see me?"

Isanata didn't answer Anna's question right away. More and smaller vines wrapped around this temporary human form, and various moss plants grew out.

Soon, the rough "human form" turned into an elf woman with a soft face and hair made of vines.

"You don't have to abide by human aristocratic etiquette in front of me. Except for the Gaia species, the phantom species and even some longevity species don't care about these so-called etiquette that are superficial and useless except to hinder communication. "

"This……"

Anna froze for a moment, then relaxed her slightly tense body, and then realized that her left hand was still in the state of dragon transformation, and quickly dispersed the gathered blood power, and wanted to attack the "Elf Queen" After expressing my apologies, I realized that I didn't seem to need to do this at all. After holding back for a while, I said:
"...I made you laugh."

Seeing that the "Elf Queen" didn't seem to care about this small detail at all, Anna relaxed her attitude even more, and said proactively:
"Your Majesty, you just said that mortals are the hope of Ayla's world, while fantasy species, longevity species, and even all supernatural beings are the early pathological changes of the world. What do you mean by that?"

Isanata, who had transformed into a relatively complete human figure, walked to the edge of this wide and strong giant leaf while the roots of his feet squirmed, stretched out his hand and made a move towards the depths of the tree crown, and a withered giant leaf fell with the wind. And in the process of slowly falling, it gradually turned into powder exuding various colors of magical light.

It was only then that Anna noticed that there were withered leaves on the seemingly vibrant [World Tree] she was in.

Anna noticed this for the first time and looked around. Sure enough, among the layers of countless green giant leaves, there were rare but still existing leaves that showed signs of withering or were about to wither...

Elves are known for being good at natural life magic, but the mother tree of elves named "life" is showing signs of withering?

At this time, Isanata finally said:
"At the beginning of the birth of the world, all kinds of rules were not fully established. This is not an environment where life attached to the world can be born, but life was abnormally born before the world of Ayla stabilized. These immature worlds The immature lives born in the world have a one-to-one correspondence with the underlying rules established one by one in the world of Ayla. They are the [First Gods], which are the first batch of fantasy species, and those who are the same as the gods The corresponding underlying rules of the world have changed from an abstract concept to a concrete thing, which is the source of the power of the gods—[Godhead].”

Anna actually knew all of this from Adrian.

Anna was thoughtful, and seemed to have some guesses as to why Isanatta didn't answer her question directly, but said such a thing.

I saw Isanata continued:

"Fantasy species are things that were born in this kind of 'error' when the world was first born, and are abnormal things to the world. The existence of these fantasy species has torn an irreparable gap in the bottom rules of the world, allowing Ella to There is always a logical loophole in the operation of the world that cannot be self-consistent, which leads to the concretization and utilization of the rules, and this is the source of all the extraordinary."

Extraordinary is the cancer of the world.

"...So, you want to say that mortals are truly normal beings?"

Anna was somewhat clear about the reason why the "Elf Queen" said these words to her. It must have been her soliloquy on the topic between "mortals" and "fantasy species". Did the queen hear that?
Sure enough, Isanata turned to look at Anna and said:
"Yes, the Gaia species are almost all races born of natural evolution. The reason why they have low extraordinary talent is because they are not within the loopholes in the world's logic. It is also because of this that the Gaia species' reproduction iteration is so stable, relatively fantasy For species and long-lived species, this kind of stability is enough to be called 'quick'."

"A mortal is 'correct', but an extraordinary is 'wrong'... Therefore, the last established bottom-level rule in the world of Ayla is [death] that even phantom species cannot escape..."

Isanata looked at Anna who was in deep thought, and said suddenly:
"Of course, this is just the view of some old guys. There are still quite a few fantasy species who hold different views. For example, the Dragon Race is a staunch opponent of this view. They believe that existence is truth, and that even if the world of Ayla is true If we want to develop in the direction of "No Extraordinary", that's just the world of Ayla. The powerful dragons believe that outside the world of Ayla, in the endless void, there must be a vaster and more inclusive world than here. , a new world dominated by extraordinary power."

"Dragon Clan believes that there is a new world that allows extraordinary, truly extraordinary supremacy?"

Anna suddenly thought of the history of the dragon clan that Mr. Ed had told her. It was mentioned in it that the end of the [Age of Gods] was when the [Original Dragon], known as the God of Dragons and the King of Gods, left Ayla. the world began;

After the battle of the gods, including the four ancestor dragons of the dragon clan, many powerful demon species in the Aila world disappeared mysteriously almost at the same time. Mr. Ed guessed that they all followed the [primordial dragon] step, left this world...

"So what about you, after hearing this, what's your opinion?" Isanatta asked Anna.

"Me? I..." Anna didn't know how to answer for a while.

"You are the descendant of an awakened dragon, and you inherited the blood of an ancient giant dragon, and you got Baja... You got the blood of Adrian, but you are still considered a human race, a mortal, and what is in front of you now , are roads leading to two diametrically opposite directions, how would you choose?"

On the one hand, there is the supernatural being the cancer of Ella's world, and on the other hand, the ordinary that conforms to the law of the world's development...

Anna was speechless, and her heart, which had gradually become clear on a certain issue, fell into turbidity again because of this conversation.

……

[Roaring Mountains] Xilu, in [Red Maple Valley].

"Everything extraordinary is the cancer of the world? Then what is the purpose of your cooperation with the Saint Rand Magic Empire?"

On a relatively empty lawn in the forest, Adrian, who had shrunk in size, looked at the wood elf elder in front of him inexplicably.

Leaning on crutches, the wrinkled, hunchbacked wood elf elder said to Adrian:
"Individuals use the logical loopholes at the bottom of the world to master extraordinary power, which is a wrong path that violates the laws of the world's development. However, following the general trend of the world of Aila, summing up a complete and logically self-consistent natural law, using the existing and naturally born in nature Matter, to express certain phenomena that conform to the laws of nature, and to express them in a way that conforms to the laws of nature, this is the original intention of our cooperation with the Magic Empire."

The development of natural science and the industrial revolution... How can two simple words be so complicated?
Adrian realized that these wood elves wanted to be Master Newton in the world of Ella...

"Okay, I understand your point of view, but you come to me, don't you just want to say this and preach to me, right? Let me state in advance, I admit that this is a very enlightening point of view, but I, and our Dragon Clan, both He is a staunch supremacist."
