Chapter 517: Heart of the Ocean (8)
When Caesar returned to his domain, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the royal courtyard of the Blackwing Empire.
Talos
TALOS, Lord of the Storms, Lord of the Mighty Gods, Ruler of the Fury Gods,
He restrained his divine powers, appeared silently before Caesar, stood lightly, and as one of the most powerful of the gods, the appearance of this god was incorporating many of the characteristics of his divinity: his image was based on a human, but not an ordinary man, with demonic horns snaking upwards on either side of his head, arms covered with scales and protrusions representing the sea, and legs with sharp feet of birds; It was a one-eyed deity with sparks of lightning swirling in its hollow eye sockets.
In the primordial years, the Lord of the Scourge was born out of the battle between the god of the night, Shar, and the god of the moon, Suren, and wielded the power of nature to destroy everything.
"Talos." Without introducing himself, Caesar sniffed the destructive power and already knew who it was: "You really smell like a demon." โ
"Really? Thanks for the compliment. Comparing him to a mortal enemy, the god did not seem angry at all: "I know that there is a real demon hiding in this place. โ
Caesar's expression moved slightly: "You are here to find it?" โ
"Not really." Talos stared at the black dragon, blue lightning burning in his hollow eye sockets, "I'm more interested in you than it." โ
In human depictions of the gods, Talos, the Storm Master, is a brutal, impatient, and irritable god who is often furious, a powerful bully who is obsessed with chaos and destruction. But now his performance in front of Caesar does not seem to be like this, just now, the black dragon also fought with the furious gods, and several gods who fought lost their divine power for at least a few years to recover, but Talos didn't seem to care at all, his words were calm, and his mood seemed to be good.
But also because these chaotic and evil gods have little friendship with each other, and the Storm Lord rules over other gods with power and violence, as long as it doesn't involve his own interests, Talos will not feel any emotions when his gods are frustrated.
The black dragon raised his eyelids and met the Storm Lord's gaze, waiting for his next step.
Talos said in a seductive tone, "Your power is strong, but it's not enough, it's not even enough to get you out of the main physical realm. Now, a whole new opportunity has appeared before you, embrace the storm and the natural disaster......"
"Alright." Caesar pouted and waved his paws: "You gods are the same, this set is too old, I have seen it countless times." โ
"Really?" Talos showed an interested expression: "Tell me, which gods have looked for you?" โ
"Marat, Tiamat, Bahamut......" The black dragon fiddled with his paws: "But in the end, everyone's relationship seems to be a little stiff, so don't open your mouth, lest you end up angry." โ
"Huh." The Storm Lord let out a shrill laugh, "All you have met before are low-level gods who are incapable of giving you anything truly useful, young dragon, do you know what it means to you to embrace the storm and the scourge?" Something that countless people have dreamed ofโI can put you on the throne! โ
"Join the Fury and be one of us." Talos said in a bold tone: "From now on, you will be the dragon god alongside Tiamat and Bahamut, the Lord of Calamity, how about it, that's a good name, isn't it?" โ
Although he was a little arrogant, Talos was not exaggerating, he was telling the truth, as the ruler of the Fury Heart World and the main god of powerful divine powers, the Lord of the Storm has the ability to bestow divinity on mortals, and he has done it many times-
- The most recent was the Lich God Visharon, who was just an ordinary red-robed mage who rose to the status of a god because of Talos's favor, but he eventually defected and is still alive and under the protection of the Lord of the Storms.
Talos was ambitious, and over the years he had been searching for dragons with potential and willingness to serve him and help them become gods in order to compete for the faith of Tiamat and Bahamut.
It's a pity that those dragons finally failed to ignite the divine fire due to their own problems, and became an incompetent evil dragon attendant, he visited this world thousands of years ago, when the Lord of the Storm found a great target for himself - the red dragon Kungudius, but the powerful red dragon rejected him, and only maintained a brief alliance with him, after which he saw the madness, but the white dragon was really annoying to him, and now Talos has come again, thinking that the candidate for the Raging God Dragon God has reappeared.
"It's a good name, but what matters is the priesthood and power, isn't it?" The black dragon's voice was like two serrated swords staggering against the blades: "What you can give, at most, is a certain divine rank and weak divine power, which can't satisfy me." โ
"And what do you want?" Talos felt as if there was still something to talk about.
"Those three guys just now, Hunting, Ocean and Winter, I want you to find a way to take away their godhead, plus your natural disaster, all for me!" The black dragon's pupils were blazing.
In fact, in thinking about the future path, Caesar did not want to ignite the divine fire to become a god, but planned to take the path of hatred and evil things to grow themselves, but he was a very realistic guy, if Talos really agreed to give these priesthoods, then he could change his mind and take a shortcut to become a dragon god entrenched in the throne, and it was not indispensable to do things for the Storm Master.
But Talos hesitated, he had to hesitate, not to mention whether it was worth taking the priesthood from the furious gods for the black dragon, how difficult it was to implement this plan, if it came to pass, if it really gave the black dragon Targaryen hunting, the ocean, the winter and the natural disaster, this monster will become unprecedentedly powerful as soon as it becomes a god, and even comparable to the powerful divine power of himself, who is the master of the furious heart at that time, can he really control this ambitious dragon?
"Hunting and natural disasters, I can give you these two at most." Talos thought about it for a while, and sold Mara in a few words.
"Why, I can't bear those two goddesses." Caesar smiled narrowly, feeling that it was quite easy to talk to this guy: "That is, there is no need to talk?" โ
The Storm Lord nodded: "Even if it's me, my abilities have boundaries, and this is already the maximum preferential treatment I can give." โ
"Need the Blackwing Empire's honor guard to see you off?"
"Don't worry." Talos was still not angry after the rejection, and based on this conversation alone, he did not feel like the Lord of Doom and Storm, but like a good old man like Bahamut: "Since this matter can't be negotiated, I'll change it for the next one, I want to make a deal with you." โ
"Not interested...... Caesar turned, flicking his tail, ready to end the conversation.
"Young dragon, listen to me." Talos smiled, "I'm interested in the magic of destruction and madness, so I've made some preparations, and if you help me draw the attention of the goddess of magic to the main physical realm, I can take this part of the priesthood." It's easy to act, but it's rewarding. โ
"You have nothing to give me in return."
"Really? Is it because it's so easy to forget that it's someone else's. โ
Caesar's meaningful words made Caesar stunned, and he sensed that the other party meant something, and the black dragon turned his head: "What do you mean?" โ
"Don't you think it's weird? Why hasn't Geush asked you to get his eyeballs back until now, you must know that it belongs to him, and he can't stop you from taking it. Talos smiled.
Caesar didn't speak, staring at the hollow eye sockets of Talos' burning lightning, and an unbelievable thought came to mind.
