154. A tyrant who is not a tyrant
"Buzz"
As the turquoise eyes suddenly locked on the two small creatures in front of him, both Rafael and Jasmine immediately felt an unprecedented fear, and the powerful creature named "Femabah" raised his head on the ground little by little at this time, and as the circle of light floating behind him twisted little by little, the unparalleled power contained in his body was also revealed at this time.
He narrowed his turquoise eyes, looked at Rafael and Jasmine, who were even standing in front of him, and did not move his body for a long time, but quietly watched the two small droplets suspended in front of Rafael and Jasmine, behind them, at the entrance of this huge earth palace, the water in the pool outside rose little by little, and many clear streams of water slowly overflowed in this way.
“.”
Femabaha looked at the water droplets in front of the two of them and did not speak, he still maintained the posture of prostrate on the ground before, but the two huge dragon claws slowly carried in front of him, and the pressure caused by the huge rank gap also slowed down little by little, until Femabah's breath completely quieted down, becoming like a completely immobile sculpture.
"My bloodline, the children of Xuanshen and [Hook Kiss] are here today, what's the excitement?"
Femabarha didn't open his mouth and his throat didn't move, as a faint soul fluctuation swept by, his respect poured into the ears of Rafael and Jasmine like thunder, Jasmine just wanted to say for Ramastia that he wanted to see you again, but suddenly felt that since Femabaha was also so powerful, it was impossible for him not to know that Ramastia was coming, and finally only held back a sentence stupidly,
"You, no, do you know my parents?"
Even Rafael looked at Jasmine behind her in amazement, for more than a month, this well-behaved and shy whale race has been in the New Dragon Court without showing her face, but what she never expected was that the whale man's parents actually knew the dragon god they had worshipped for generations, which was enough to prove her extraordinary.
The person who can make such a big Jasmine willing to work hard must not be an ordinary person, so Jasmine must have to face a lot of difficulties. In contrast, if he wants to go to Nari to find Fisher, the pursuit of being equal to him is nothing, so why should he give up?
Perhaps Jasmine herself didn't know that she had invisibly cheered Rafael again, but Femabaha didn't immediately respond to her words, but instead glanced at the huge golden wound on his shoulder that had not yet healed, it was a sword wound.
After a second of silence, Femabaha said,
"Yes, and not only me."
"Your mother, Xuanshen, is the recognized god of destruction for all living beings, and I fought against her several times before the war, and we won and lost each other; In the midst of the war, the aftermath of my battle with my blood compatriots sunk half of the Eastern Continent into the ocean, and the ocean where she lives was affected, so she went to war with us, and both sides were defeated. The wound on my shoulder was given to you by your mother, and I have not yet paid it back."
"And your father Hook Kiss is a world-famous traveling doctor who is good at saving people. Poisoned. Before the war, he tried to poison me to test the efficacy of the poison he had developed, but I found out and fled."
Jasmine immediately turned pale when she heard the "glorious deeds" of her parents, and she hid behind her in shame even though she was higher in rank than Rafael, for fear that Femabah would take a grudge against her, but even so, she muttered quietly,
"My father was a very gentle whale man and didn't bother to do such things. At that time, it was definitely not his poison, someone else must have done it, slandering my father"
But Femabaha didn't pay much attention to Jasmine, he seemed to have vaguely guessed the reason why Jasmine was here, and it was impossible for the Xuanshen couple to let their immature child come to seek death, and Ramastia was also here, so the answer was not difficult to guess.
Femabaha only turned his head to look at Rafael, who was standing in front of Jasmine, and only after seeing her equally emerald eyes did he continue to ask,
"Heh, life may really be a miracle, the whale race can produce a monster like Xuanshen, and the life I inadvertently created can also improve the incompleteness of the bloodline by itself. And what about you, Dragonman, what are you here for? ”
The water behind jumped for a moment, but Rafael was stunned when she heard Femabah's question, she originally came to the ruins of the Dragon Court to look for some items or classics that could be used by the new Dragon Court, relics left behind in ancient times, magic, or classics that recorded the traditions and history of the Southern Continent, these can be.
Who would have thought that this inadvertent treasure hunt would directly dig up the gods that the dragons had believed in for generations, which suddenly made Rafael at a loss.
"I, Lord Ryujin, the old dragon court was destroyed a thousand years ago, and now your people are being invaded by foreign enemies, and their homes have been burned down by humans, and I am leading them to rebel."
"You want me to help you rebuild the Dragon Court?"
"The Dragon Court was founded by you, the dragons have believed in you for generations, and if you help you, all problems will be solved"
Femabaha shook his head when he heard this, and he raised a finger and said to Rafael,
"It seems that the years have passed so long that you have forgotten your own history, but if your ancestors heard that your descendants retold their stories in this way, they would have been furious. I didn't establish the Dragon Court, and I did want to help you, as my bloodmen did, but you rejected me and begged me not to enslave other creatures with violence. ”
Jasmine, who was hiding behind Rafael, pursed her lips, not knowing if it was an illusion, but she looked at Femabah, who was lying on the ground with her hands in her hands, and spoke slowly, as if she was considering the words little by little.
"It's obviously impossible for me to help you build the Dragon Court in your impression, and now it's impossible to go back on the old path I gave you before, even if you have the heart, you can't do it. You are crippled creatures that I have inadvertently created by my blood, and you have nothing to do with me, and you have been wrong in your beliefs, and I have not fulfilled my responsibilities to you like my blood."
Rafael's pupils widened slightly, but she didn't say anything else, she squeezed her palm, and fell silent. In fact, she didn't mean to be disappointed or resentful of Femabah, she had only heard about Femabaha in her parents' stories before today, and she had not relied on the idea of the deity in the world before, and certainly not in the future.
But in the ears of Jasmine behind him, suddenly came the illusory and immature voice of La Masia, who smiled and said,
"Don't listen to this kid Femabaha lie, although he says so, he has actually helped the dragons many times. In the past, the false god once threw a powerful spear from the sky towards the dragon court, and he used his body to push the spear away, and the spear that fell to the ground divided an entire continent into the western continent and the southern continent you see today. ”
"In the later mythical wars, the mythical species fought back and forth with their families, but his dragon race had no dependents, so he personally participated in the war like the false god who helped mankind, otherwise the Lord would not have intervened; The angels and elves have also been fighting wars on the ocean and the eastern continent because this strongest child of mine has not attacked the dragon court in an all-out way. It's a pity that even he can't stop the [Soul Calamity] that occurred within the Dragon Court, and that soul calamity destroyed the Dragon Court created by Femabaha and his heirs."
In the end, Lamastia's tone became a little regretful, and there was no doubt that He knew his child better than anyone else, even if that child had been far away from Him in the course of time.
"Soul Calamity?"
Jasmine chewed on the unfamiliar word in her mind with some confusion, as if she had never heard her mother mention it.
"Well, look at these black substances around you, the source of these substances was once a human, a [Shifter] named Caleb Uzi. They are bewitched by chaos from beyond the world, which takes root in them through knowledge and inevitably leads to disaster. ”
"Caleb Uzi tried to enter the spirit realm in the Dragon Court, the safest of the war, but the result was that he fell into complete madness, and his body was deformed into this monster that constantly devoured and fused other souls, and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Femabah's descendants in an instant within the Dragon Court. He had just finished fighting with Xuan Shen, and he had to deal with the soul disaster caused by the transferred person while he was seriously injured, although in the end his bloodline remained, but the Dragon Court had been completely destroyed, and he was caught up by [Death] because of this."
Jasmine was still talking to Ramastia in her head, but Rafael had already adjusted her mood, and she took a deep breath and then raised her eyes to look at Femabah in front of her, and then she said,
"I see, Dragon. Femabah, thank you for your honesty, you are right, the survival of the dragon court should not depend on the gods, after all, this is the kingdom we founded, but my people and I will remember you, after all, it is you who gave us blood and gave me life. If you take the liberty of it, we'll leave. Jasmine, let's go. ”
Femabaha looked at Rafael, who turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly stretched out one of his claws to her, and on top of that claw, a drop of crimson blood floated on it.
"In the past, I gave my sons a gift when they created the Dragon Court; If you can succeed in the future, then this is the gift of the establishment of the new Dragon Court; Of course, if you fail, this will also be your burial gift. ”
Little by little, the blood drifted towards Rafael, pouring into her body in a slight stunned, but she didn't feel any superfluous, and the next moment, a crimson spear emerged with her mind.
Looking at the crimson spear floating in front of her, Rafael quickly realized that this was a sharp weapon, she looked at Femabaha who was holding her hand again in front of her, and she was not pretentious, she reached out and held the spear in her hand, bowed to Femabah and thanked him, and then turned his head away without looking back.
"Wait, Rafael, wait for me."
Seeing this, Jasmine hurriedly followed Rafael, and did not forget to turn around and bow to Femabaha as she walked.
"Click!"
As Rafael and Jasmine left, the heavy and huge door closed again, but in the huge hall, the gurgling water did not stop, and the clear water surrounded the whole venue, only looking at Femabaha in the center of the field, as if he was looking at him carefully.
Femabaha didn't close his eyes, but looked at the ground with some complicated eyes, for a long time, he didn't speak with the fluctuations of his soul anymore, and opened his mouth for the first time,
"Mother."
The whole room, all the water, all the air, the space, and even the time were suspended for a moment, until a long time later, when they flowed again, and at the same time, a gentle female voice in the room responded to him calmly,
"Well, I'm here."
"Before, it was me and they were wrong, sorry."
No need to apologize, child, I am not saddened by your departure, but only saddened that you have weaponized the power I have given you by my favoritism against other beings whom I have not favored. But compared to the two of them, you are already the best at it. Because unlike the race that they created themselves and obeyed them, the life you unintentionally created is the one that you experience the most."
The soft female voice slowly approached Femabaha like a gurgling stream, and the current, which was obviously too weak to have the slightest strength, easily passed through the distorted space and aura beside Femabaha, and stroked his head,
"Yggdrasil and the elves regard everything in the Eastern Continent as a dog, and the Lord and the angels have nothing in their eyes, it is difficult to say how their relationship is, but it is only you and your dragon race, your relationship is so pure that you gave the last of your blood to that dragon girl, and it already shows that you are superior to them in this regard."
Femabah's huge dragon body leaned a little wearily against the growing stream of water, which gently lifted him up, and it was only now that Femabah's abdomen, which had not been exposed until now, revealed its true sight. I saw that Femabah's abdomen had been completely hollowed out, and Caleb Uzi had already died, but the viscous liquid he left behind still maintained its original properties, completely corroding Femabah.
"I am the strongest of us, and I have not been able to distinguish the winner from them after fighting for so long, but today I have won with you by what I have done unintentionally, this is really death, Mother, I have seen the people who have been transferred and the prophecy of the destruction of the world, and I can't help you anymore."
"Sleep, kid, I've got the right guy to take care of. Sleep, my Faema Baha. Let's sleep."
Femabach's emerald eyes closed little by little, and in the lullaby's lullaby, the water around him became thicker and more agitated, until it completely enveloped Femabah's form, as if it contained all the emotions of a god at this moment.
In the midst of the current, Femabah's huge figure disappeared little by little, and as the process went, the whole sea and sky became restless, and even Jasmine and Rafael, who had gone far away, felt a palpitation and sadness at this time.
But they didn't know where that feeling came from, because after only a second, it was gone, and it was never felt again.
The miracle of life continues, death still chases other people, and the story continues to move forward in this cycle.
