章 15: The World Serpent, Jörmungandr
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
A pet beast that possess five different elements was simply heaven-defying.
"The abyssal dragon is already scary enough, just what kind of beast lies in wait in first place?"
The question surfaced in everyone's minds.
The Five-headed Abyssal Dragon was already strong enough to send chills down everyone's spines.
What would happen once they saw the beast that was ranked at first place?
Whoosh!
In this moment, the skies lit up with boundless radiance.
Everyone looked up into the sky once more.
They wanted to see what kind of terrifying existence was ranked first.
Just what kind of beast was it?
[ 1st place: Jörmungandr ]
Before its details could be revealed, a small snake that was chasing after its tail was projected into the night sky.
The reason it was called a small snake was because Jörmungandr looked only to be the size of a palm at most. However, if the projection were to actually display the real size of the beast, no one would be able to grasp its figure in full.
"Haha, this small snake is ranked first?"
Doubt began to well up within the peoples' hearts.
No matter how powerful it was, there was not much a palm-sized beast could do.
One had to know..,
The strength of pet beasts was dependent on their sizes.
Only those with sufficient weight could exert their full strength.
As such, they had thought little of the snake.
While everyone was still bewildered by the snake's size, the Hundred Beasts' Board began to display the snake's details.
[ Level: Peak Great Beast Tamer Stage ]
[ Phase: Infancy ]
[ Region: ? ? ? ]
[ Master: Joe ]
"P-P-P-Peak... PEAK!"
Sylvester of the Oguapu Palace slapped himself hard.
"Peak Great Beast Tamer Rank..."
His voice had completely changed. The dignified Prince of the Oguapu Palace had never lost his composure like this before.
"It's Joe again."
Patriarch Zacarias of Aramborg could not help but tremble.
Joe was truly a terrifying individual. He had completely dominated the top five spots within the list.
"Peak of Great Beast Tamer Stage? How is that even possible?"
Salisbury, who had always been calm and silent, had a change in expression as he exclaimed in shock.
The Oguapu Palace's rulers had always been extremely patient individuals.
After years of bitter cultivation, Salisbury had managed to reach the doorsteps of the Great Beast Tamer Stage.
It was precisely because of this that he knew how difficult it was to reach the peak.
However...
'That little snake actually has managed to reach the Peak of the Great Beast Tamer Stage!?'
'How on earth!'
Rumble!
Amidst everyone's myriad of thoughts, an incomparably vast and resplendent projection unfolded in front of them.
The visualization of its myth had finally appeared.
At this moment, everyone's expectations had reached the peak.
Just how much power did the palm-sized small snake possessed?
Once the projection played, everyone was stunned.
What they saw was not the scene within the Blue Planet, but the cosmos.
"Strange, why is there a galaxy, could it be in space?"
"Look, is that the Milky Way?"
Suddenly,
someone saw an oval-shaped disc, which seemed to be very similar to the Milky Way.
"Why is it showing us outer space? Where's Jörmungandr?"
"T-This! It can't be!"
"Hiss!"
"Impossible!"
Everyone began to tremble in fear.
An incomparably huge shadow was slowly approaching the Milky Way.
That shadow was shaped like a serpent!
The serpent's tail had entered everyone's view.
What shocked everyone was that the Milky Way, which had a radius of
With a light sway, the huge and imposing beast charged towards the Milky Way.
It traversed the starry cosmos, and reached the end of the universe!
"Is this even considered to be a Divine Beast?"
All the leaders of the major factions were now breaking out in cold sweat.
They had assumed Jörmungandr to be talented, but it did not possess much combat strength.
However, after watching the second projection, their bubble of comfort was popped.
What made them even more terrified was who exactly was Joe?
He was a person who owned five Great Beast Tamer Stage beasts, and all five of them had ranked within the top 5.
There was not a single person in the Blue Planet that could go toe-to-toe with him!
"Has Joe already surpassed the level of Great Beast Tamer?"
Everyone's minds buzzed, and their heart was as heavy as lead as tsunamis of terror crashed within their minds.
Joe's feats were not something that ordinary people could do.
"Could it be that Joe is a god who has chosen to live within the human world?"
'A god!'
"How is that possible? Didn't the Gods disappear during the Fall of the Gods?"
Some people muttered to themselves in terror.
"Perhaps, he's the only god who has survived since ancient times?"
"What? To be able to survive from the Fall of the Gods, just how terrifying is his strength?"
"But why isn't there any record of him in our mythological inheritances?"
"Ha, which mortal would be able to transcribe the name of a god? Perhaps he already exists in our records, but merely his aliases."
"And here we thought that we could recruit him. It's simply a fool's dream."
Many experts who had originally wanted to recruit Joe all had bitter smiles on their faces.
How ridiculous was it to rope in a god!
Just as the entire blue planet was filled with such thoughts, the scoreboard suddenly burst with golden light.
A brand new line of text emerged from it.
When everyone saw the message, their expressions changed.
