Chapter 1276 - 1196: True God Witch (3)
The surrounding small black holes and ether flow were slowly absorbed by this sphere, actually forming a small planet.
However, compared to the universe of Horn’s homeland, this planet obviously did not undergo a continuous compression process and is relatively much more loose.
Rather than a planet, it is more like a cloud of stardust glued together with many dragon corpses.
The dragon corpses fell in battle, their companions had no time to lay them to rest, so they had to be initially thrown onto that planet.
Horn looked over through the eyes of the green dragon, feeling increasingly familiar with the shape of the piled dragon corpses.
Main peak, side peaks, north-south orientation, even valleys formed by varying heights...
"Dragon Sleep Mountain Range?" This thought emerged in Horn’s mind.
The battle continued, and the number of giant dragons was dwindling, but fortunately, the Witch’s meat sphere was also slowly shrinking.
The meat sphere, originally the size of a small asteroid, gradually shrunk to the size of an adult giant dragon.
Its surface tentacles also reduced significantly, and its movements became sluggish.
Eventually, amidst countless beams of light, the mass of meat suddenly contracted violently.
Then, layers of transparent membranes and flesh shed from the surface of the meat sphere, revealing an outline inside.
It wasn’t a meat sphere, it was a woman.
She wore a dark purple robe, her long hair draped like ink down to her waist, her skin as white as paper, yet completely devoid of blood color.
"You despicable beasts, I will remember you." As soon as she revealed her human form, she spat this venomous remark and immediately vanished from sight.
Horn looked around for quite a while, but couldn’t comprehend how she had left.
Until a sharp scream came from the distance behind, a scream that could be heard in a vacuum, perhaps only from this Witch.
Through the green dragon’s eyes, Horn saw her looking down at her arm.
A purple flame, the size of a fingernail, appeared on her arm at some unknown time and was slowly spreading.
The skin in the path of the flame was not burned; instead, it began to turn transparent.
The Witch immediately tried to wipe the flame off, but her fingers recoiled the moment they touched the flame.
That flame seemed alive, crawling up her arm, quickly spreading to her shoulder, neck, and head.
Time stopped for a moment, and suddenly, a brighter flame burst from within her.
Not purple, but golden, the color like the sun.
The green dragon instinctively closed its eyes. When it opened them again, the woman’s figure had vanished.
Only a golden flame hovered in the darkness, with a few specks of black ash floating around.
Yet the golden flame did not extinguish.
It flicked gently, and suddenly a voice came from within the flame: "Then your race, remain here and hold the fort."
The flame suddenly stretched out a beam of light into the darkness, like a hand, burning a hole in the void.
Horn could see countless vague shadows behind the hole, strange and bizarre.
Headless giants, insects with countless eyes, rabbits with long noses... they surged toward the outside of the hole.
As soon as they touched the light of the flame, they immediately ignited, turning into wisps of black smoke and quickly dissipating.
The flame burned open another hole in another direction.
After the two holes appeared, the flame began to release a vast amount of light and heat.
The surrounding ether flow was slowly drawn toward it, converging into a transparent bubble between the two holes.
No, not a bubble, Horn realized.
A bubble in the three-dimensional world, in the two-dimensional world, that would be a hole!
Sure enough, the sphere composed of meteorite and dragon corpses, along with all the present giant dragons, involuntarily drifted into that bubble.
As for the ether flow, it continued to converge, gradually closing up the two holes.
Horn looked up, and the ether flow had already formed an ether vortex, with pale golden light surging inside.
It seemed, that must be the sun.
"In the future, our task is to guard this place," the voice of the flame rang out again, "at the end of all things, the supreme eternal flame will resurrect us after the new time begins.
Then, the True God Witch will be abandoned in the old timeline, understand?"
Several low dragon voices responded from around, the remaining few giant dragons responding with voices filled with compliance.
Why guard? Wasn’t the True God Witch burned to ashes?
The flame seemed to hear his question and continued, "The True God Witch will not die; she is a true god and cannot truly die.
She will undoubtedly be resurrected in the future, and by then, the second defense mechanism will be activated."
The second defense mechanism?
Horn wanted to ask more, but the flame had already started moving.
It enveloped those few black ashes, suddenly rushing toward the sphere, directly diving into its interior.
Time was once again pressed to fast forward.
Horn saw the remaining giant dragons begin to work on the sphere.
Atmosphere, rain, oceans, continents, forests... things that belong to life were gradually established on the planet.
Sadly, those giant dragons began to wither little by little, their numbers dwindling.
Who knows how much time passed, and tiny creatures began swimming in the rivers, and shadows of birds appeared in the atmosphere.
Horn could feel the emotions of the possessed green dragon changing, no longer fear, but a peaceful, expectant feeling.
Until that giant tree appeared.
Without any forewarning, it suddenly emerged from beyond the atmosphere, descending toward the ground.
The green dragon halted its actions, looking up at the giant tree, and let out a long dragon roar, as if in warning.
Could that be, those elves?
Horn’s consciousness suddenly began to blur, like being diluted by water.
The green dragon’s perspective began to waver, and the surrounding scenes became fainter and fainter until they completely disappeared into darkness.
In the end, only a warm light remained, enveloping his consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, the ceiling came into view.
The sky outside the window was already bright.
