You are all my wings...

'Could it be that Camille's refusal to yield is due to an order from the Goddess of the End?'

Lyon quickly calculated the strength and size of the dragon horde, and his heart sank slightly.

If Castiga, Morlipe, and Birelita hadn't suffered a decline in strength due to the withering of the Sacred Tree, even if they were only at the twelfth rank, they would likely be able to contend with several thirteenth-rank powerhouses if they were to work with the Sacred Tree.

After all, while the celestial gods are powerful, the sacred tree is undoubtedly superior.

However, given the current situation, if Terena is unable to stop this battle, she will inevitably need to find a way to reduce the numerical advantage of the dragons' high-ranking members and narrow the gap between the two sides.

Just then, as Leon was deep in thought, Camille once again turned her gaze to him, seemingly lost in thought.

The subtle pressure in her gaze startled Leon. He looked up to meet Camille's eyes, deciding to start a bluff:

"Lady Camille, do you know that your all-out effort this time, seemingly on the verge of a great victory, is actually the beginning of your clan's decline from its peak?"

As he spoke, he gave Therena a look, and Therena's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.

Camille noticed Terena's reaction and frowned, asking, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important; what matters is who I am with right now."

Lyon said:

"I am proficient in divination, as Your Excellency Terena can attest. Unfortunately, I have already foreseen the inevitable decline of your dragon race."

Camille said, "I can also glimpse the river of time, and what I see is a great victory in this battle. How could this be a decline?"

"Your Excellency, victory in war does not mean that a race will not decline, nor does defeat in war mean that a race will not become more prosperous and flourishing, does it?"

Lyon laughed.

Upon hearing this, Camille was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying that if we win, we'll actually decline? Why?"

Chapter 546 Camille: He's somewhat pleasing to the eye

Leon observed Camille's expression but did not rush to explain. Instead, he transmitted his voice and said, "Your Excellency, you are of a high rank. Can you see the problem with me?"

Camille's eyes flickered slightly: "Indeed, I can see that you are out of place in this time and space."

Lyon thought that this might be the reason, or one of the reasons, why she had stared at him so many times before.

"In that case, you should know that I come from the future."

"So you're saying you witnessed the decline of my dragon race in the future?"

Camille frowned and asked.

Lyon smiled, revealing a profound and unfathomable expression.

He naturally did not witness the decline of the dragon race ten thousand years later.

However, six million years later, the dragon race did indeed decline. But what he didn't add was that it wasn't just the dragon race that declined; the elf race also declined. The Flood Era was a period of significant decline for all races' powerful beings, and even gods became extremely rare.

As for why he didn't respond directly, the reason is quite simple: given Camille's rank, she likely possesses the supernatural ability to see through truth and falsehood.

Although I have multiple modes to prevent distracting thoughts, judging from the fact that Terena almost saw through my lie a few minutes ago, I should still appropriately reduce the risk of being seen through in my speech.

Camille took in Leon's expression and assumed he had given a positive answer, saying, "But you still haven't answered why victory leads to decline."

After Leon's counter-question, she seemed to have vaguely come to believe that the dragon race would decline.

Leon also extracted the conceptual essence from this lie, and indeed extracted 3 copies, showing that she had some similarities, but there were still many doubts.

As for the others, considering that revealing too much information in front of a group of dragons would not be good, Leon still chose to use telepathy to avoid further complications.

"The reason is quite simple."

Lyon said:

"Your Majesty's attack on the Holy Land is nothing more than an attempt to clip the wings of the Goddess of Origin, acquire a large amount of Holy Land resources, and reduce hostile forces. But the question is, when you use the Elf race as your adversary, have you truly considered whether this will be beneficial to you in the long run? This is indeed the only chance to significantly weaken the Elf race, and perhaps even to annihilate them, but once the Elf race is destroyed, how will the Goddess of the End deal with you, the strongest race on the continent?"

Camille fixed her gaze on Leon with a scrutinizing look, but did not answer.

Lyon continued, “In the Eden Era, intelligent species rose to power. The natural gods, having experienced several epochal crises, have mostly perished, leaving only the strong. Although divine beings are naturally powerful, in this era they have become sustenance for your dragon and elf races. If the elves are destroyed, the dragons will become the strongest race in the world, and the other weaker races will no longer be able to navigate the conflict between multiple powerful races and survive by playing both sides. In this way, the world will be controlled by one race, losing its balance. You can naturally imagine what the outcome will be.”

Camille said, "As the world turns, a stronger race may emerge in the future to balance the world."

"But you don't deny that if the world becomes unbalanced prematurely and collapses on its own before the power of the end ends it, then the Goddess of the End will not receive the reward of the world's end, and you will most likely face annihilation, won't you?"

Lyon countered with a question.

Camille said, "When that time comes, we'll still have options. We can divide our races, spread them across the world, and replace other species with dragons. What's wrong with that?"

The implicit premise here is that the destruction of the world by the Goddess of the End is inevitable and impossible to avoid, because she is born with the characteristic of ending everything.

As the supporting race of the Goddess of the End, the Dragon race can theoretically receive protection during the destruction of the world.

However, if the role of dragons in the later stages is less than their value to the world, then it is not impossible that they will be eliminated by the Goddess of the End.

Camille's answer clearly acknowledged the possibility that the Goddess of the End might be capable of eliminating the dragon race, and that she might have even considered similar questions long ago.

"Moreover, the balance of the world is the result of the struggle between two supreme gods. We are merely pushing a race toward prosperity, just as in the past. Since such changes have existed since ancient times, why does the rise of the dragon race significantly disrupt the balance of the world?"

Camille unknowingly entered into a discussion with Leon.

Beside her, Terena's delicate pink ear tips twitched, and she heard the two's telepathic conversation perfectly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

[Goddess Therina's favorability +2%, current favorability 126%]

When Leon got to this point, he knew that ordinary persuasion would be unlikely to change Camille's mind, so he simply activated the [Wish Miracle Spell] that he had just successfully ascended to.

[Effect: Regardless of whether it is illusory or difficult to achieve, as long as you have enough faith and consume enough mental energy, the stronger your belief, the more likely you are to turn your wish into a miracle (if your wish aligns with the laws of the world, it is more likely to come true; please guide your wish in a direction that aligns with the laws of the world to increase the chances of its realization)]

At the same time, he used various methods to strengthen his belief and confirm that his words were correct.

Having made such preparations, he stated unequivocally:

"As you surely know, the First Era of Creation lasted for at least hundreds of millions of years, while the Second Era of Divine Species lasted only fifty to sixty million years, and the Third Era of Eden lasted only thirty million years before its end in ten thousand years. This shrinking of eras, seemingly a power struggle between two supreme beings, is actually a result of the world's balance declining with the fall of the natural gods and the depletion of divine species! All races are born according to the laws of the world; when a race prospers, the corresponding law shines brightly! The decline of multiple races means that multiple laws have dimmed! You want to replace racial diversity with dragons; if time allows, it might be feasible. But do you think you have the chance to live to see that day?"

Strangely enough, it's unclear whether it's because the skill was activated.

After he finished speaking, the earth suddenly shook and roared, as if in response to his words.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three streaks of purple lightning cleaved through the night sky, instantly illuminating hundreds of kilometers.

The lightning bolt was aimed at Leon, but Terena waved her hand and unleashed her divine power, extinguishing the lightning bolt with a loud bang, as if erasing a trace.

Although the lightning canceled out the thunder, the resulting roar continued unabated, instantly drowning out the howls of the dragons. The dragons turned to look, terrified.

"What exactly did he and Lady Camille say that suddenly caused such a huge world phenomenon?"

An eleven-tiered dragon murmured softly.

Camille, standing nearby, also looked at him with a strange expression.

Most gods would believe that the imbalance in the world is a manifestation of the power struggle between two supreme gods, with the Goddess of Origin gradually losing to the Goddess of the End, which leads to the era becoming shorter and shorter.

But Lyon's words brought the issue to the angle of racial extinction, a completely new perspective that no one had ever considered.

If Leon's words did not produce any extraordinary phenomena, then their authenticity is naturally difficult to determine.

But now that the world is responding with strange phenomena, it means that he has triggered certain world laws and created a deep resonance of those laws.

If that's the case, then what he said is very likely true!

[Goddess Camille's favorability increased by 2%. Temporal disorder detected and corrected... Current favorability is 108%]

Camille suddenly felt a strange sensation; she found Leon much more pleasing to the eye.

In terms of appearance, the silver-haired man in front of me is naturally very handsome, a rare find in the world.

But someone of her thirteenth rank, with her extensive knowledge and experience, would not be easily swayed by physical appearance.

For some reason, she did feel a stirring in her heart, a desire to be close to the person in front of her.

She had no choice but to adopt a condescending attitude, suppress that feeling, and at the same time, talk to distract herself:

"Did you just make up those words yourself, or is that a common understanding from future generations?"

Lyon felt a little uneasy at that moment, because his words just now were entirely based on instinct, half of which was a lie and half of which was based on his past knowledge.

Even with the blessing of the "Wish Miracle Mantra," shouldn't this have triggered such unusual phenomena in the world?

Just as he was about to say something.

The sky and earth changed color once again.

The already inky black night sky suddenly revealed a gigantic black hole from which even light could not escape, instantly obscuring part of the majestic dragon body that the Star Lord Taginia had revealed.

A heavy pressure and an unparalleled suction force simultaneously descended upon an area spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, encompassing most of the Holy Land and the pitch-black sky occupied by the dragon horde.

Even with Terena's divine power protecting him, Lyon still felt the terrifying, repulsive force seeping through Terena's divine power and pressing down on him, causing an uncomfortable feeling as if his bones were being squeezed.

Camille's expression changed slightly, a hint of confusion and apprehension flashing across her wild yet refined face.

From the dragon herd came a murmur: "It's an omen of the goddess of the end's descent, the Black Star of Death!"

Taking leave late at night

...As the title suggests, we had quite a few guests at home during the May Day holiday (mainly to visit my mother), plus a few cousins ​​were also there, and we ended up talking about this topic by accident.

I will update normally the day after tomorrow and add more content.

Chapter 547 Goddess of the End

Under the pressure of the strange, twisting force created by the combination of overwhelming pressure and immense suction, the eighth or ninth-level dragons let out whimpering sounds like little dogs.

The enormous dragon, hundreds of meters long, looked like an earthworm under this terrifying change in the heavens.

Lyon looked up at the sky and saw a graceful, ethereal figure coalescing in mid-air, slowly transforming into a solid form high in the sky.

At this moment, the appearance of this other supreme god clearly came into view.

She had long, thick, jet-black hair that flowed down to her ankles. The strands of her hair were dark and gloomy, seemingly emitting divine light, yet they did not seem to radiate outwards. This created a very strange surface force field that distorted the light particles, forming a mysterious spectrum of light that was both colorful and pitch black.

Her features were naturally extremely beautiful, with slanted eyebrows like swords, deep black eyes like the universe, and a bright and pointed nose like jade.

The outer corner of the eye is significantly higher than the inner corner. Although it is beautiful, it is a shape of eye socket that is extremely dark and oppressive, even with a kind expression.

Compared to the tall, mature-looking Perseid, who was also a supreme goddess, she appeared much smaller, like a delicate little porcelain doll.

Her slender calves were covered in black stockings.

The exposed skin of her thighs between her skirt and stockings reflected the soft, white light of the water, making her look very beautiful. The style was very similar to Leon's past life.

She was slightly shorter than Yandis, about the same height as Mshiruna.

But her petite height doesn't diminish her domineering presence at all.

The terrifying divine power that naturally emanated from her body, and the terrifying phenomenon of the [Death Omen Black Star] hanging high above her head, all possessed an incomparably powerful oppressive force, making them an existence that no low-level creature could look directly at.

Once you look directly at it, you will be destroyed from the inside out.

Fortunately, after she condensed her form, she slightly restrained her divine power, causing all the dragons present to feel a sense of lingering fear, as if they had escaped death, and their towering dragon bodies all shrank back.

Even the elves thousands of kilometers away were sweating profusely, their eyes filled with fear.

With Terena by his side, Leon was in slightly better shape.

Therefore, he did not intend to let this opportunity pass and continued to focus on observing this supreme god.

Linglong's figure was enveloped in thick, long hair. She wore a sleek, black pleated dress with a V-neck that combined gothic and formal styles. Her collarbone and the lines of her long, fair neck were particularly sexy. Even from tens of thousands of meters away, Leon's amazing eyesight allowed him to see her clearly and he couldn't help but swallow.

Then Leon immediately became alert to his body's reaction and narrowed his eyes.

The charisma of this supreme god is indeed extraordinary.

I was so engrossed in watching it for a moment that, besides my emotions being shaken, I even felt like my soul was being sucked away.

I had only seen Petrified's projection clones before, and I didn't feel anything special then.

And the one in front of us is very likely the real one!

Otherwise, with his extensive experience in countless battles, he wouldn't be so easily swayed.
