Chương 296: Chapter 296: The Seal Nun
It turns out they enlisted the help of a demigod, no wonder they managed to complete such a massive project in such a short time.
Garon thought of the sea canal connected to the Forge Fortress, pondering in his mind.
After hearing the words of Ornn, both Garon and Volibear nodded in agreement, showing their consent.
After a moment of thought, Garon asked, "Did the other party mention what specific troubles they encountered that required the help of Brother Ornn?"
Ornn nodded and said, "It's encountering rather powerful beasts in the sea."
"Compared to us demigods with intelligence, these beasts cannot communicate, and each one poses a great threat."
After a pause, Ornn sighed and continued, "There are already not a few demigods who have died at the hands of these beasts."
In the land of Valoran at this time, the main conflict existed between the powerful beasts and demigods like Ornn and Volibear. According to Volibear, at the beginning of the world, there were far more beasts than demigods because the process of becoming incarnate from certain powers was not smooth, and failure was the norm.
However, these primal and powerful beasts, each of a different kind, do not reproduce amongst themselves.
Thus, as time passed, when demigods began to realize the threat of beasts and started killing them like Volibear, the power balance in Valoran gradually shifted. After all, beasts are just beasts, without a hint of intelligence, often fighting amongst themselves to near death, easily killed by demigods arriving later.
Moreover, there is a certain connection between the demigods, who will ask for help when necessary.
Just Volibear alone, because of his warlike nature, has killed at least hundreds of beasts, feeding more than ten to Garon in just three years.
"What I love most is hunting these brainless fools."
Volibear licked his lips, a hint of bloodthirsty light in his eyes, he said.
After speaking, the giant bear standing on two legs looked at Garon and said, "Little brother, in the past, I acted alone because I was afraid you would get hurt."
"But now you have reached the same level as me, and you have mastered Titan Transformation."
"Finally, we brothers can fight together, hunting beasts!"
Garon nodded, smiling lightly, "I'm looking forward to fighting alongside my brother."
He is not warlike, but because of his close relationship with Volibear, hunting beasts with Volibear before leaving this timeline is also not bad.
Just right, Garon can get better acquainted with his new time-series abilities.
For example, the Future Vision he had used during his fight with Volibear.
This time-series ability seems somewhat similar to foreseeing the future, but there is a great difference in reality.
In the sparring with Volibear, Garon felt quite uncomfortable because his attacks and counterattacks were almost all seen through by Garon. However, for Garon, this was based on the numerous times he was beaten up by Volibear in the Future Vision. His direct combat strength is still inferior to that of a demigod like Volibear.
But because of the existence of Future Vision, Garon was able to take the upper hand.
This is the power of the force of time.
Volibear showed a relieved look, patted Garon's shoulder, and said, "Just right, I know of some very strong beasts, even some that I am somewhat wary of. After we help big brother's friend with their trouble, we can go and kill these beasts one by one."
Without waiting for Garon to agree, Ornn rebuked Volibear.
"Little brother, you are too warlike."
"Killing for the sake of killing, I worry that one day it will come back to haunt you."
Volibear, who gets restless if he doesn't see blood for a few days, is more ferocious and bloodthirsty than many beasts, while Ornn is not keen on slaughter. Unless provoked by an enemy, Ornn generally does not vent his anger, and Anivia is rather kind, often actively helping other creatures in distress.
After hearing Ornn's admonition, Volibear nonchalantly waved his bear paw.
"Only blood and battle can satisfy me."
"I am the immortal thunder, the embodiment of the storm, I have enough strength."
"Big brother, you don't need to worry about me."
Ornn glanced at Volibear, shook his head lightly, and said no more.
Afterward, Garon and Volibear did not immediately set off but explained Garon's origin to Ornn, as well as the matters of transcendent divine power and faith. Upon learning of the transcendent divine power, Ornn showed a clearly surprised expression, obviously, like Volibear at the beginning, unaware that faith could give birth to such powerful forces.
However, when Volibear mentioned that Garon did not belong to this timeline but came from a world in the future, Ornn calmly nodded.
"Eh?"
"Big brother, you're not surprised?"
"Little brother is from a future world."
Volibear scratched his head, puzzled.
Ornn looked at Volibear and calmly said, "The equipment little brother brought out clearly isn't from our world. I had some guesses about little brother's origin at that time."
Volibear suddenly realized.
At that moment, Garon seriously said, "Brothers, no matter where I come from, since we have become brothers here, I will not forget this bond even after I leave."
"And I'm not leaving forever; we'll have the chance to meet again in the future."
Ornn smiled and said, "The time alliance contract you signed with Volibear, make one for me as well."
After becoming allies, Garon said, "The creatures that have gathered around the Forge Fortress, I see they are all intelligent beings, a good source of faith."
"Big brother, these creatures are gathered here because of you."
"Just a little indication from you, and they will offer you their faith, becoming your first followers."
Immediately, Ornn fell into thought.
Because of his peaceful nature, he had always ignored the fervent creatures that worshiped him, but now, understanding faith and transcendent divine power, it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved. Ornn also knew his divine power was almost at its limit. To advance further, transcendent divine power was the most suitable channel, and the current environment was conducive.
After a dozen seconds, he solemnly nodded.
"I understand."
"These weak but vibrant creatures, calling this place 'Furnace Homeland', I have always ignored them, but now it seems, it's time to make a change."
The nascent faith, if guided by a demigod, will develop and grow at an extremely fast pace.
Due to the danger of primal magic and beasts, at this time in Valoran, intelligent beings below demigods live in dire straits, hiding from various terrifying forces, carefully struggling for survival in the cracks. In such circumstances, as long as demigods are willing to offer protection, they will naturally attract countless followers, and the power of faith will continuously arise.
Garon does not know the future direction of Valoran.
But because of his intervention, the future of this world will surely undergo earth-shattering changes.
"Second brother, fourth brother, I'm going to continue refining and forging equipment."
Garon nodded, saying, "Then, second brother and I will first go to the Northern Sea to help the Seal Nun with her troubles."
The Seal Nun is a wise demigod who helped Ornn create the sea canal, bringing seawater inland. According to Ornn, this demigod can control the power of the ocean, but her combat ability is not strong. Thus, she cannot solve the problem of powerful beasts in the sea on her own. Because Ornn, Volibear, and Anivia's small group is quite famous among the demigods, she sought Ornn's help. In return, she brought seawater to Ornn.
"Alright, go ahead."
"If the beast is too strong, don't overdo it. Later, Anivia and I will come over together."
Ornn instructed.
Next, Garon and Volibear left the Forge Fortress and headed to the location given by Ornn.
Demigods move extremely fast.
With Garon's acceleration, a rolling storm brought clouds and snow along in a thunderous roar, swiftly arriving at the destination, which is also the source of the sea canal connected to the Forge Fortress.
The storm subsided, and crystal-clear snowflakes began to fall again.
In midair, the silver dragon gazed forward.
In view was the vast and boundless azure ocean. The sea breeze, carrying a hint of fishy smell, blew over, with the sound of the waves rising and falling. The sea surface was covered with layers of waves, sparkling and magnificent. Garon could see many different shapes of fish shuttle back and forth under the sea surface, swimming and darting about. The quantity of life here far exceeded that of the mainland.
"I once hunted beasts in the sea."
"However, due to environmental reasons, it was rarely successful."
Volibear looked at the boundless ocean and said.
Beasts may lack intelligence, but that does not mean they are foolish.
The instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm allows sea beasts to immediately flee into the vast deep sea upon sensing an unbeatable enemy. For demigods like Volibear from the mainland, it is hard to fully exert their strength in the deep sea.
Garon took out a horn, which seemed to be made from the bones of some beast, with a certain curvature and inscribed with primitive rune patterns on its surface.
This is the Ocean Horn given to Garon by Ornn.
Blowing the horn will summon the Seal Nun to meet Garon and Volibear.
The silver dragon took a deep breath and then blew the Ocean Horn. Simultaneously, a sound like the ancient whale song echoed, ethereal, distant, and profound, spreading to the unreachable depths of the ocean.
Afterward, Garon and Volibear quietly waited.
"Second brother, how did you, big brother, and third sister come to know each other?"
While waiting, Garon asked curiously.
Garon felt that although the relationship among these three was good, their personalities did not seem to match. For instance, Ornn seemed somewhat displeased with Volibear's adoration of strength and violence. However, oddly enough, despite the differences in personality, their bond was exceptionally strong.
Hence, Garon was curious about how they became brothers and sisters.
After hearing Garon's question, Volibear showed a nostalgic look, and the fierce bear face rarely revealed a gentle expression.
"When we first gained a hint of intelligence but had not yet condensed into physical forms."
"Years passed in ways we did not understand, and the world seemed void and dull to us."
"Thus, after an indeterminable period of monotony, we discovered each other's existence."
Volibear grinned, looking at Garon, and said, "You can imagine how excited and thrilled we were to find beings we could communicate with after long and tedious years."
"Before condensing into physical forms, we had already spent a lot of time together."
"Then, big brother Ornn was the first to choose to condense into a physical form, inspired by him, my sister Anivia and I successively condensed into physical forms and descended."
Volibear narrated smoothly, with Garon listening attentively.
These demigods, or ancient gods, had intelligence before their physical forms were born, long before the world was created. They had already formed relationships over such a long period, that even enemies could develop special friendships, making some differences in personality insignificant.
Volibear's story did not last too long.
In just a few minutes, near where Garon and Volibear were, a few thousand meters away on the sea surface, the layers of waves suddenly calmed down.
Then, the sea surface began to swirl, turning into a vortex.
Within the vortex, a small demigod, only a few meters tall, emerged from the sea.
This demigod resembled a standing seal, with arms like fish fins and a tail of azure blue, as if merging with the sea. Its skin was not exposed directly; instead, strands of sea current, like ribbons, surrounded its body, emitting a faint glow and gently flowing.
The Seal Nun had a pair of moist and gentle eyes, sizing up Garon and Volibear.
Garon's previous encounters with demigods and beasts, when not using Titan Transformation, were quite large in size. The Seal Nun's height, or rather, length, was just over three meters, comparatively, a miniature demigod. However, her equally high level of forty indicates she is indeed a demigod.
"So, there are demigods of smaller size here."
Garon thought to himself while looking at the Seal Nun.
In the eyes of dragons, who defy the natural order with their aesthetics, she was a very attractive female demigod.
In fact, the appearance of demigods is generally quite outstanding. As long as one has the corresponding aesthetic, even a god composed of rotting mud can find its unique beauty, like the primal sun god. To Garon, the endless tentacles and eyeballs, while chilling, also possess a weird and bizarre beauty.
Smooth skin, moist and glowing eyes, elegant and voluptuous form. These were the aesthetic features of the Seal Nun.
Garon shook his head, quickly suppressing his strange thoughts.
The ability to cross species and forms, strong aesthetics sometimes troubled Garon.
Amidst the surging waves, the Seal Nun approached.
She looked up at Volibear and said, "Hello, Volibear, I know you, you're Ornn's brother."
Then, the diminutive Seal Nun shifted her gaze to Garon, puzzled, "And this powerful demigod is?"
Volibear answered in a gruff voice, "My brother, also Ornn's brother, the Eternal Dragon, Garon."
The Seal Nun nodded gently, smiling warmly.
"I see."
"Now, you three siblings have become four. It's enviable that brothers and sisters can support each other like this."
