669 Chapter 436: Ancient Secret [1/2]
Its ancient tone gave off a feeling that it had transcended time and has passed down from ancient times.
As the voice echoed in his mind, Richard felt that the dwarf god’s gaze seemed to have penetrated space and seen him.
The other party’s eyes flashed with wisdom that could see through everything.
It was deep and quiet.
“I can sense the aura of a new world. I can’t pry into the past and future…unknown souls.”
“Are you a life form from another world?”
“Fam Grimmauld, greetings, stranger.”
His tone was calm and gentle. It was not as high and mighty as Richard imagined. Instead, it sounded like an old friend meeting.
It was a different feeling from the extreme kobold god and the evil King of Decay.
Richard raised an eyebrow and looked straight into the pair of bright eyes. He did not show any weakness just because of the other’s extraordinariness.
His tone was calm and indifferent.
“His Holiness, Richard, the ruler of Twilight City, greets you.”
Countless experiences had long transformed the rookie overlord who would feel uncomfortable on corpses at the beginning of the “Shining Era” into an iron-blooded ruler.
His mental fortitude was unshakable.
The dwarf god sensed Richard’s attitude. The dwarf ruler lowered its hand on its cheek and sat up straight. Its eyes shone brighter.
“I once saw a corner of the future. I have observed that this world would change because of strange visitors.
“The old days will fade, and a new era will begin.
“Lord Richard, this is the change of an era…
“I haven’t seen a corner of the future…”
Richard’s pupils contracted at these words, and his aura suddenly turned cold.
The importance he attached to the dwarf god instantly increased by several levels.
“Your Excellency Fam, you can see the future?”
In ancient myths, who were those who could predict the future?
“Big shot. The big shot among the biggest shots!”
Putting everything else aside, just knowing what would happen in the future, as long as one made some arrangements and catered to the general trend, one could obtain a foundation that outsiders could not imagine.
It was like a big city before housing prices took off. Or a bitcoin that one had yet to appreciate…
Richard’s mind spun.
Truth or lie?
Why was the dwarf god sealed in a statue if he could predict the future if it were true?
Have the external forces sealed it, or… Did it take the initiative?
Did this god with such power plot something?
Richard suddenly remembered the prophecy that the dwarf had left behind…The rise of the Crimson Moon would awaken it.
Wasn’t today the first time the Crimson Moon rose?
The early appearance of the Crimson Moon activated the statue of the dwarf god and awakened it.
In that case… He had also entered the other party’s prophecy.
Had the other party calculated all of this?
“Future? No one could peek into it, but they could occasionally see a few fragments.”
The tone of the ancient dwarf language was very gentle, and the syllables were not obscure. That gave the people a warm feeling.
How many fragments could he occasionally see?
Wasn’t that too much?
Richard took a few deep breaths, unable to suppress his emotions.
“Your Excellency Fam, may I have the honor of knowing your purpose… The purpose of you being sealed here?”
The silver crown on the dwarf god’s head suddenly emitted milky white energy that enveloped the space inside brother condor.
That made its initially short but oppressive figure seem even more extraordinary.
The energy gathered outside the barrier. It formed a new shield that seemed to seal something.
The dwarf god slowly opened its mouth after a complete condensation.
Richard felt an indescribable horror when the words lefts its mouth.
“I once tried to control the river of fate, but I suffered a backlash and was forced to seal my soul… Don’t worry, Lord Richard. That has weakened my power to the extreme. I’m no threat to you.”
‘Tried to control the river of fate?
Legend foretold that the lands bore countless lives after the god of creation formed this world. The fates of these lives intertwined. They hid that river where no one could see.
Here, one could pry into all the secrets of all living beings and change everyone’s fate.
The power of the god of creation, even in the legends, could not control the river of fate.
Now, this dwarf god said that it tried to control that untouchable, unspied upon, and indescribable existence.
The dwarf god had not died after it suffered the backlash of the river of fate. That was even more odd.
That was the river of fate. Where the power of all life in the “Shining Era” intertwined. How dreadful would that power be?
At this moment, the dwarf god was like a giant that could support the heavens.
Richard’s mood turned particularly delicate.
‘Was this the origin of the other party?’
This was too damn fierce. It was so small. But the dwarf ruler hid the sun’s soul while it pierced the sky.
“Your Excellency Fam, I respect your bravery.”
It did not die even after it courted death to this extent. It was indeed worthy of admiration.
“Do you know anything about the Crimson Moon?”
Richard awakened the dwarf god to extract some information. That was his initial intention… Although he was shocked by the dwarf god himself.
“Crimson Moon…”
The oppressive figure sat on the bronze throne. The dwarf ruler slowly raised its head. It was like it had seen the Crimson Moon in the sky outside.
“Ancient gods won’t die.”
“However, they could not rule the “Shining Era”.
These words were very suggestive.
