Chapter 1777: Ananta Shesha
The light turned into a serpent. The size was expanding and expanding until it reached half a kilometer.
The head grew to the side, forming a massive hood.
Garuda still remembered the nickname of that beast. A snake with a thousand hoods.
’He has the ability to manipulate time. He’s the controller of infinity. The one who is said to hold the cosmic. Unfortunately, that’s an exaggeration. However, it’s true that he’s strong. I might be the fastest, but he’s definitely stronger than me,’ thought Garuda. ’Besides, his time power will be useful for Master. The only problem is whether he will recognize the master. After all, Lord Vishnu was truly a charming man.’
"Shaaa!" The snake let out a cry and released all the energy into the surroundings.
"I am Ananta Shesha!" The snake had multiple heads. Unlike Orochi, Ananta had large hoods on each head.
In total, Ananta had five heads, but according to the description, he had more.
Nathan thought it was either an ability or something else entirely. Nevertheless, the purpose of summoning him never changed.
Nathan politely introduced himself. "I am Nathan Reckmoon, the summoner who has summoned you."
"Yo!" Garuda suddenly flew on top of Nathan.
"!!!" Ananta was slightly surprised. "So, you’re here, Garuda. I haven’t sorted out all this memory."
"I am here. Even without that, I think you know what we’re planning to do here."
Ananta confirmed it. "Of course. All of us want to kill those treacherous creatures. Our lord sacrificed his life for us. We have to take revenge for him."
"Regarding that matter, I have acknowledged our summoner as my new lord."
"Hmm?" Ananta narrowed his eyes. "Are you really acknowledging that person to be equal to Lord Vishnu?"
"He might not be that strong yet, but I believe in his potential. Just sort out your memory first, and you will understand why I believe in him." Garuda nodded. "Besides, look around you."
Ananta could see the trust they had in Nathan. Obviously, there were a few strong ones, such as Xolotl and Tiamat.
These strong deities actually trusted Nathan so much.
There was also a weird case like Fenrir, who felt like a true god, but hadn’t taken the step yet.
The lesser deities were also quite good. They were quite powerful, but their loyalty was amazing.
Ananta Shesha looked at Nathan before saying, "I can’t give you the recognition that you want on the first day. However, I believe that you’re an amazing individual because not only did you summon me, but you also gained the trust of these deities.
"Still, if you want my full loyalty, you need to prove that you are worthy to be my lord."
"Lord Vishnu will never be with us again. That’s why I choose to move forward. I know you can’t help comparing him with Lord Vishnu, but please keep that in mind. Don’t let it cloud your judgment," asked Garuda.
"I know his quality. Judging from the karma alone, I know that he is more amazing than Lord Vishnu. However, karma is karma. I want to see it myself." Ananta could see the amazing karma. He never knew a deity that had as much karma as him, including his lord.
Nathan said, "I know you can’t trust me yet. However, there are three things that I would like to request, even though this is our first meeting."
Ananta frowned. "What are they?"
"First, I would like you to help me. Even though this world doesn’t have an alien that is stronger than us anymore, I don’t intend to underestimate them. It might look like a menial task, but I’d like to have your support.
"Of course, this also includes following my orders. I don’t ask you to follow it word for word, but I want you to judge whether that is a reasonable order or not. You are free to reject me if I give you an unreasonable order."
Ananta fell silent. "And do you think you have the right to order me?"
"Whether I have the right to order you or not is irrelevant. What matters is the team’s coordination. If you end up rampaging alone, which will disrupt the team’s coordination, it is better to fight without you. I don’t plan to let you rampage, even if that means gaining your acknowledgement."
Ananta laughed, satisfied with his answer. "Fine by me. I shall follow your orders as long as they’re reasonable. I’m also curious about these people’s strength."
"Thank you. Then, the second request is your support to fight the black cell."
"You don’t have to ask. I’m intending to have my revenge against that creature. I will fight even if you don’t want to fight."
"No. What I’m requesting is the knowledge that you possess. Right now, I’m sure that we will have to build up our strength before facing the black cell. Having more knowledge about them will allow us to have a better chance. I have a family here, and I want to live with my family for as long as possible. Even if that’s a selfish reason, I want to win because of it."
"Knowledge. I see. Very well."
Nathan nodded. "And the last request is for you to teach me."
"!!!" Ananta was startled by the last request. "Teach you?"
"Yes. I possess space and time elements. The same element as Yog-Sothoth. I intend to use this power to defeat him, but right now, my strength is far from enough to deal with him. I implore you to teach me your knowledge about time so that I can further prepare myself against the enemies."
Ananta looked at Nathan. It was true that Nathan was far immature compared to his former lord.
"You have all these deities next to you. There is no need to get stronger. Just ask them to fight for you."
"If I die, all of you will disappear. Besides, I am not a coward who will stand behind you." Nathan looked at Ananta with sincere resolve.
Ananta looked up before declaring, "Very well. I shall accept all those requests. In exchange, you shall prove to me that you are worthy to be my lord."
