Chapter 904 - 440: Newborn Water World
"Yes, I can also..."
Deep within Inanna’s Jade Dragon Pupils, a glimmer of golden light shines, resembling the Platinum Dragon God and the Divine Crimson Gold intensely.
Her body suddenly grows, additional golden forms appear on her dragon horns, and some scales at the back of her neck join together to form a thick bone plate.
Suddenly, she no longer resembles a little dog... hmm, still kind of like, but now she resembles a large dog adorned with decorations.
Inanna’s body enlarges, allowing her to stand upright using her hind limbs, as she senses the changes and strength within her.
Li Ang doesn’t find this scenario too strange; after all, the Earth Dragon is powerful, and this strength is hers alone.
The vision before her triggers her memory, synchronizing her, and she becomes much stronger.
Akuya smiles at Inanna, and Li Ang notices the confusion in her eyes, but it doesn’t last long. Akuya turns to Li Ang and softly asks, "How should I address you?"
"My name is Li Ang."
"Li, Ang."
Akuya repeats the name, primarily to confirm the accuracy of the pronunciation.
Li Ang spells his name using Nebis Universal Language, and when others call him, it slightly differs from the original, but he still pronounces it with the habit of the Chinese language.
The Dragon before them uses a more obscure Ancient Dragon Language than ordinary Dragon Language, supplementing it with Power of Dragon resonance for expressing the complete meaning, which took Akuya some time to pronounce his name.
"You are somewhat different; are you one of the Eldest Sons of God? But you are also a Dragon."
Akuya is filled with confusion about Li Ang.
In Nebis, oh, before it shattered, this world wasn’t called Nebis; anyway, in this world, the Human race indeed greatly resembles the Eldest Son of God.
"I’m special; you can consider me as a Dragon."
Li Ang considers himself different from the Primordial Being, but Livi and Inanna have strengthened him significantly.
"Mm."
Akuya seems relieved, showing a smile, "I also feel a familiar sensation from you, unlike the Eldest Sons."
Stepping forward, she holds Inanna’s claw, Akuya starts moving: "Thank you for bringing Inanna back. Will you come with us?"
Li Ang nods and follows.
Though unclear on the purpose of Ten Thousand Spirits manifesting these past events, he surely can’t let Inanna follow these Phantoms aimlessly, and perhaps they are key to entering the center.
"Great! I’m continually gathering brothers and sisters; you should be one of us."
Akuya says delightedly.
The pink-haired young girl strides on the waves, her feet having some dragon-like features such as sharp nails and raised heels, but already displaying steps with scale patterns resembling fish mouth shoes.
Her power is likely around Tier 8. She controls water freely yet is far from the Water God, her power usage is rather crude, as evident from how she treads on water surfaces. Not sure if it’s due to the Phantom or initially when the Dragon God was like this.
"Gathering brothers and sisters?" Li Ang asks.
He glances at Leviathan, who frolics in the water while following Akuya.
"Yes, since birth, I’ve always felt something missing, and there’s an ethereal voice calling me."
Akuya notices Li Ang’s gaze and also looks towards Leviathan.
The Sea Serpent Ancestor was stealthily observing Li Ang and Inanna at the shore, except Diao. The Ancient Witch Maiden seems to be ignored by these visions; they can see her but won’t interact.
Noticing the gaze, Leviathan quickly dives underwater, hiding.
"She’s still a bit shy." Akuya laughs, covering her mouth.
"However," the young Water Dragon’s eyes shimmer, "Li Ang, can you perceive the connection between me and her?"
"Yes."
At this point, due to being linked with the reborn Livi, he indeed senses the power of the Water Dragon and Sea Serpent.
Moreover, he knows that since Nebis’s water is united, the Water God is a unified triad including Akuya, Leviathan, and the Great Spirit Gorasis, their powers interconnect, unlike other Dragon Gods, as told by the Akuya who enjoys trickery.
"In the ever-expanding rivers and seas, I encountered them, feeling more complete."
Akuya speaks cheerfully: "I intended to introduce everyone to them but couldn’t find everyone at once."
The Water Dragon refers to "everyone," among which Inanna is included, while other dragons are introduced individually by Li Ang’s inquiry.
At this time, living together are Akuya, Inanna, Brigitte, and Thanatos among the four dragons; Agni and Annette are yet to be seen.
Originally, the Six Dragons weren’t born gathering together, surprising Li Ang, despite his ongoing surprises from the beginning.
Together with Diao, following the pink-haired Dragon Maiden onward, they depart the river and ascend the peak.
This mountain evokes grandeur yet is inherently not tall, inducing a sense of perceptual disorder, causing Li Ang some discomfort.
Reaching the summit yields answers to all.
At the top, one can oversee the entire world.
Yes, because this world has boundaries.
Centering on the peak, across the earth, primitive forests, volcanoes, rivers, seas slowly widen, the whole world expands, albeit at a slow pace.
