Chapter 428: Bahamut
Catherine was selected to attend Merlin House when she was a Hogwarts student, and she learned a lot about Merlin in the house.
In legend, Merlin is the most powerful swordsman in the world, and even has the title of Juggernaut in Hogwarts.
She thought it was outrageous at the time, after all, how could the most powerful mage in the world be a sword master at the same time.
But now she believes it, because the sky at this moment is full of his sword qi.
Dragons are among the most powerful creatures in this world, and their powerful bodies, hard scales, and vast magical power alone are enough to defeat anyone but gods.
Perhaps, this dragon did not expect that he would encounter such a fierce opponent one day.
Catherine felt that this dragon was far more powerful than the one that Geved had dealt with before, because it had more precise control over its own power, and could carry out more powerful attacks without wasting mana.
Clearly, though, it chose the wrong opponent.
Char's swordsmanship itself is top-notch in the world, and the holy sword has the attribute of slaying dragons, and in addition, it even borrows the power of Heracles.
With so many buffs in one, the dragon couldn't parry at all, and there were even many wounds on his body.
Char rushed over and slammed his fist directly into the dragon's cheek!
"Boom!!"
The powerful force directly blasted out a sonic boom, forming a terrifying shock wave in the air that spread to all sides, and the ice and snow of the snow-capped mountains within a dozen kilometers of the vicinity were shaken down, and the resulting avalanche hit the mountain, and the successive rumbling sounds were like natural disasters.
Catherine, who had been observing, tried her best to float in the air with her magic, keeping her body in shape and not being swept away by the shock wave, and there was some horror in the depths of her eyes.
She never thought that humans could have such terrifying power, and they could set off natural disasters with every move.
The whole dragon flew towards the snowy mountain on one side, and the peak was smashed to pieces, but even then it flew backwards, and the dragon struggled to flap its wings in the air to barely stabilize its body.
The next moment, Char's whole person turned into a streamer and rushed straight towards the ice dragon, and this time, Char's eagle eye had been opened, aiming directly at the dragon's heart.
The ice dragon clearly sensed the fear of death, and there was horror in its eyes.
But just as Char approached it, the giant dragon roared angrily, and this roar was accompanied by an extremely terrifying energy that spread around, and Char couldn't react for a while, and was directly covered by this energy.
At that moment, Char's pupils instantly contracted to a point.
Within the coverage of this energy, all the ice, snow, smoke and dust stagnated, and Char maintained his offensive movements and stagnated in mid-air, even stopping his breathing
No, to be exact, time has stopped in the entire area.
According to Einstein's theory, the whole world is made up of countless particles.
And time is generated by the motion of these particles, so theoretically, if you can stop the motion of these particles, you can stop time.
That is, the power that this ice dragon has just used - absolute zero.
A minimum temperature that is almost impossible to achieve thermally and dynamically.
As Char guessed, this ice dragon is not an ordinary ice dragon, even in the world of dragons, it should belong to the upper echelons, which is why Char chose to come to it.
Seeing Char frozen by his absolute zero, the dragon's face also showed a very humane joy.
It was not limited by this absolute zero, and rushed directly towards Char, and the dragon claws pierced Char's chest directly.
However, it didn't feel any sensation of piercing flesh, and when it raised its hand again, the absolute zero field disappeared, and Char, who had been pierced, also turned into countless flying ashes and dissipated, just like when it turned into a fire dragon just now.
And the next moment, a sword also pressed in front of its eyeball, and time seemed to stand still at this moment
Char's figure slowly appeared in front of its eyeballs, and slowly spoke.
"Neither from the point of view of relativity nor from the point of view of quantum mechanics, particles cannot be completely stationary, so absolute zero is the lower limit of temperature that cannot be reached. According to the theory of relativity, absolute rest does not exist because there is no absolute space, and rest is relative.
Of course, for the vast majority of people, your absolute zero is almost the same as absolute zero, but I am different.
The speed of thought is faster than the speed of light, and you can't freeze my mind. ”
And as long as he can't freeze his mind, he can use magic.
Char stared at it quietly, "Now, can we talk?" ”
The ice dragon stared at Char deadly, but there was no word, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
After a few minutes or so, the ice dragon let out a soft breath that seemed to sigh, and then, it actually spoke.
"You're the most powerful human I've ever seen, not one of them."
Its voice was very calm, and it did not speak any language in this world, but a very advanced language of magic, which any human could understand.
They actually communicate, but they have always disdained to communicate with humans.
It slowly fell back into the cave, and Char flew in with Catherine.
I saw it slowly raise its head and open its mouth, and countless frost gushed out of its mouth, and it actually blocked the hole above this cave with large pieces of ice.
It slowly lay on the ground, its eyes slightly closed, leaving only a small gap to look at Char, looking very tired.
"Say, what do you want?"
"What's your name?" Char asked.
"Brunhill Bahamut." The dragon said.
Char raised his eyebrows in some surprise, "Platinum Dragon God?" ”
Char still has a good understanding of some information about the dragon family during this time, and the name Bahamut first appeared in Arab mythology, which is a giant beast that supports the earth.
In another world where Char lived in the past, there is a well-known tabletop role-playing game called DND, in which Bahamut is described as the god of good dragons, the creator of metal dragons.
The name has also appeared in many myths, games, and anime, so Char is no stranger to it.
Of course, these can only be used as references, and Char's actual information about dragons was obtained in the library of White City.
In a book in the library called "The Dragons", Bahamut is one of the ancestors of the dragons, and is also a very ancient god, known as the platinum dragon god, the lord of the north wind.
There are very few accounts of him in the books, but there are many things that are written about Tiamat, the ancestor of another dragon.
In DND's worldview, it is depicted as the god of evil dragons, as opposed to Bahamut.
In fact, in the account of the Dragons, Tiamat and Bahamut are brother and sister.
At the same time, Tiamat was also the creator of Sumerian mythology.
In Sumerian mythology, Tiamat represents the Aral Sea, where she and another Apsus, who represents fresh water, created the world and gave birth to gods.
The noise of the gods made it impossible for Apsu and Tiamat to sleep, so the two gods decided to relieve their suffering by destroying their offspring. However, the gods did not want to sit idly by and rebelled, and in the end Apsu and Tiamat were killed by Ea and Marduk, respectively.
And Marduk took the corpse of Tiamat and created the heavens and the earth, and the stars and thunderstorms between the heavens and the earth. The gods, in gratitude to Marduk, built the city and temple of Babylon for Marduk; And Marduk, in order to repay the gods, created humans to work for the gods.
In the Arabic myths and legends about Bahamut, he floats on a sea without foam, and on its back is a giant bull carrying a mountain of rubies on its back, and on the mountain is a day angel, and on the head of the angel is the six hells, above the hell is the earth, and above the earth is the sevenfold heaven.
Beneath Bahamut is an endless ocean, below which is the dark abyss, below which is the sea of fire, and at the bottom crawls a great serpent, which, if not for the fear of Allah, would swallow all the creation.
According to the book "Dragons", the author suspects that the ocean under Bahamut is Tiamat, which represents the Aral Sea, and that the abyss under the ocean is Apsu, because Apsu represents the fresh water underground, so he is also the god of the abyss.
"Looks like you've done some understanding." "There are very few people in this world who can remember my father." ”
Father.
"I'm curious." Char spoke, "You guys have been in the Dragon Realm so well, why did you run out, is there something going on there?" ”
Brunhill's gaze was deep, "Right now, there is a civil war going on there, and a large part of the dragons want to escape from the dragon realm, free from the bondage of the mother goddess Tiamat, to the wider sky, and become the master of this world after the gods have disappeared, but Tiamat is unwilling to release them. ”
"Tiamat?" Char's eyes were filled with interest, "I remember that in Sumerian mythology, Tiamat was dead. ”
"The primordial gods no longer have the concept of death." "He's only fallen into a deep sleep, and of course, he's not as powerful as he used to be, especially after the creation of the Dragons." ”
"What about Bahamut?" Char asked.
"He's been missing for a long time." Brunhill whispered, "Disappear with the gods." ”
"So, what is your position?" Char continued, "Is it also the same to break away from the dragon realm and become the master of this world?" ”
Brunhill, on the other hand, replied in the wrong way.
"My father was a good god, and he was strictly against anything evil. He will not tolerate any evil acts. Otherwise, he can be considered one of the most compassionate beings in this universe. He has boundless sympathy for those who have been ravaged, the invaded and the helpless.
He also strongly and urgently urged his followers to do good, but he also preferred mortals to solve their own problems and face their own wars.
For Bahamut, he prefers to provide clues and information, to care for the wounded, or to be a (temporary) shelter rather than to take over the burden that people carry on their shoulders. ”
Char teased, "But you didn't act like the daughter of a good god just now." ”
"He's a good god, but I'm not." "However, I have no interest in controlling the world, and I have escaped from the Dragon Realm just to take refuge, nothing more. ”
"Your strength is not weak." Char said.
He looked at her with interest, "Do you need refuge in an existence like you?" ”
"The war in the Dragon Realm is much more brutal than you think, and even in order to get out of there, I have used some methods to cross the barrier in a way that weakens my strength." Brunhill looked at Char, "If it was my heyday, you weren't my match. ”
"He didn't give it his all." Said Ekaterina on one side.
