Chapter 1134: Setting Off Into The Open Seas
-----
"It is nice to meet the Dragon King."
"A pleasure."
"So it was you all along, I had an itch."
"Ohoho, your family is enjoying the food I prepared."
"So he's the young man that completed the trial of the frost queen's inheritance!"
"He's truly an incredible child, isn't he?"
They didn't reveal their names, but they seemed friendly enough. We had a small chat about the Frost Queen and the trials of the tower more than anything. I told them I got the Primordial Ice Grimoire, and they were rather shocked about it.
They seemed slightly greedy about having it. It wouldn't be hard for me to make a written copy of its contents to share it with them, but for now I'll keep it for myself. I also told them I can hear the voice of the Frost Queen at all times, as her divine realm is fused with mine.
"S-So you can talk with her at all times?!"
"Truly?!"
"Incredible…"
"You're really someone amazing, Drake. We might be the only organized god group in this continent, but we'll do everything we can to assist you from now on, if you ever fight with powerful foes like you did before."
"I see, that'll do for now. I guess I am thankful, here, you can have these."
I waved my hand, all the gods got dragon marks.
"D-Dragon Marks?!"
"These work as boosters, they'll give you stronger stats, higher growth speed, stronger magic, and an extra elemental affinity, enjoy it."
"Amazing…"
"Thank you!"
"I even feel my power surging through…"
I decided to trust them due to the frost queen's insistence. Amongst all the people I've ever meet, she's one of the few aside from my family I trust the most. She's an honest to heart woman that only has good intentions.
"Anyways, are you guys alright with me asking you a few things first? I really need to know more about the other gods of this continent. How many are there? Is there any gods that are dangerous?" I wondered.
They quickly began to talk.
"There is a small group of them, but Oberon's clutches over our continent seem very little, if not nothing. All thanks to you. You've slain Black, the Black Shadow Sect Leader whose soul was residing in his own inheritance, you've also destroyed the last area where he was storing the unique skill users with the help of Alma, and then you killed Red. With all of them out of the field, this continent hasn't been any more safer regarding his forces."
"Aside from them, we know about three others and that's it. Gods like us are very rare, but there's Divine monsters with names that roam the continent too. But those are also being controlled." Said the Court Elder.
"One of these gods declared himself not righteous but has been living secluded inside an area known as Death Tundra Mountains, while the other two are neutral and a husband and wife, living by themselves."
"The non-righteous Gods hasn't done anything bad in a while, so we believe he might be either preparing to rank up or something else…"
"The neutrals mostly wander the world and rest here."
"And that's about it."
"I see, sounds peaceful enough. I've heard gods are rare but yeah, they're VERY rare. That's good, I guess I don't have to worry about random schemers showing up in the middle of my things." I sighed in relief.
"Worry not, as long as it is within this continent, if anyone dares to, they'll meet all eleven of us first." The Elder reassured me.
"Thank you. Now that I am done here, I've got a whole family waiting so I'll be going. It is nice to meet you all, we can easily contact through my Telepathy if I ever want to, see ya." I waved my hand, leaving the gods behind as I walked back to the dining room.
I enjoyed the rest of the day there, even the Emperor relaxed and drank some wine with us. When the day came to an end, we quickly teleported back home using a Dungeon Teleportation Trap and we were back home, sweet home.
Like that, after we went to take a bath, we went to sleep. We were quite mentally exhausted after all of that, so we slept soundly and calmly. Man, it feels nice to sleep as much as I want and carefreely.
Knowing the gods are there for me now, I feel way more reassured this continent can handle by themselves well. Preparations to help the other kingdoms, sects, and the empire are already halfway done for the first batch. Also, thanks to the teleportation traps I can make, I don't even need to worry about staying here.
So, starting tomorrow morning in the real world, which might be a few days in the inside of the divine realm due to the time dilation, we'll begin our journey through the seas to reach the Muspelheim Continent!
And of course, that very morning, the shy dwarf tomboy girl, Charlotte. The gorgeous blonde girl was feeling spooked by my request, despite being an avid enjoyer of seafaring life.
"You… want me to bring you to Muspelheim through the Seas?! But can't you fly, lord Drake?" She wondered in surprise.
"Of course I can fly, but there's a problem with that, it's too slow. I want to move my whole divine real with me, the castle moves incredibly slow across the skies! So we're doing this, you'll merge your powers with my Fuyu, and we'll become a giant boat! How about it!" I laughed.
"W-Whaaat?! That's a thing?!" She asked.
"Just touch this orb in here!" I laughed.
"O-Okay?"
Charlotte gently touched the orb I had used before to channel my allies magic and abilities into to unleash powerful attacks, it was now repurposed to be able to share abilities and connect them into the giant castle.
FLAAASH!
Charlotte's hand touched the orb, in an instant, countless powerful rivers of essence, her unique skill's power, rushed across the entire divine ice castle.
"I've detected the power… It's connected now, let's begin!" Fuyu's voice said.
"B-Begin what?" Charlotte asked.
"We're going through the sea, of course. What else?!" I laughed.
SPLAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!
Fuyu hit the seas right away, as she had flew there some time ago, and then shapeshifted into a glorious, and enormous cruiser!
"Charlotte, we are now on your hands, [Captain]!" I laughed happily.
"E-Eeeh?!" Charlotte was terrified.
But I am sure she'll get used to it quickly.
"Now, onwards to Muspelheim! I feel like I MUST find the Fire Dragon's Progenitor as soon as possible."
"But let's prepare a bit more before departing!"
"No, something there's calling me. Let's call it dragon intuition."
"Eeehh?"
And of course, while we are on the way there, we'll finally go to complete the Yggdrasil Dream Dungeon with my family.
