Chapter 1830 - 1830: Cap 1828: Dragon of Wisdom
Author: I’m sorry about this chapter, a friend told me I posted it wrong, I’m getting better, but because of the medicine my mind is a little slow, I posted it with the following title and the previous chapter, but I’ve already edited it to correct it.
As soon as I entered the perimeters of the restrictions I realized what the problem with this place was, the restrictions here are working based on their defects.
I stopped in my tracks feeling the surroundings, unlike what I was feeling outside, the powers of the Law here are firmly in place, they are not loose blocks almost collapsing like the rest of this planet.
No, the problem here was much worse, it feels like this place is going to explode all these aligned Law blocks are like this purely because they are firmly tied together, but the pressure it is subjecting by the Ascendant Laws that they are made of is not under the control of anything or anyone is just accumulating stress.
Even the wide barrier here outside is flickering and deforming which allows anyone to enter, but it is in the last stages of collapse, this is not enough to kill us, but it can destroy part of the planet and perhaps trigger the total collapse of everything else.
“< Law of Eclipse: Corrupting Seal >” (me)
With a pulse of my will, 5 pairs of wings appear on my back, the power of the Law forms a Star Energy Rune that floats above my hand before I throw it at the barrier.
As soon as it touched the previously shapeless barrier, it floated like a lake after throwing a large stone, the colors of the barrier changed to darker tones while the Law Runes glowed purple like a night sky as the barrier returned to its dome shape.
“How is the inside compared to the outside?” (me)
“Suffocating, everything seems to shift all the time, we also can’t use our Auras.” (Akatosh)
“I see.” (me)
I walk inside with Akatosh on one side and Karina on the other, as I entered I could feel the relaxed Ascendant Laws trying to connect to my wings continuously.
“(The space here is even more broken and segmented than I imagined.)” (me)
This is a technique that the Ascendants created using their Spatial Law, separating rooms into closed spaces that they move as they please, thus increasing security in important buildings like this.
I have not personally seen this before, but Adella and Nix saw it when they rescued those Ascendants while facing the forces of Pride.
“As you can see, one false step can lead to death.” (Akatosh)
“If it weren’t for your Stigma, we would have to use Divine power.” (Karina)
“My Stigma? What are you talking about?” (me)
“Karina, show him.” (Akatosh)
Karina lets go of me and walks down the hallway, it was as if the landscape changed, suddenly it was like entering a ball pit, as Karina walked the blocks of space moved distorting the space and opening or closing cracks one after the other.
But Karina here as if it wasn’t her problem, the space when it tried to distort around her, the power of Chaos in her arm shone making her Aura form a Dragon around her, the space became united and calm when touching her Aura allowing her to walk without impediments.
“I didn’t expect that… the seals I used on you had some protective functions, but I didn’t expect you to use the seals to seal and maintain an area of absolute control, it almost seems like a mobile Territory of a few centimeters around the body.” (me)
“Yes, you implanted your will in these Stigmata, this makes them act on their own, I didn’t realize that before because I was never in danger.” (Akatosh)
“Did I do that?” (me)
“You did and now we’re going to continue with this.” (Akatosh)
Akatosh starts walking and I follow him, soon returning to Karina’s side. We continue walking and stop in front of a room where blood paints the floor as well as the door around it. Feathers and pieces of flesh are everywhere, but there are no bodies.
“There are no dead people, they are all trapped somewhere else, Cortana and her Tomb Dragons took them off this planet so we don’t run the risk of them interfering with these uncontrolled Laws.” (Akatosh)
“I thought I had expelled everyone during the Planet robbery.” (me)
“Of course I did, but how could they be expelled while still inside this building with so many restrictions around?” (Akatosh)
“They were trapped inside here being thrown against the walls and against each other while space destabilized when these restrictions got out of control.” (Akatosh)
“When we got in here, we didn’t even have to fight, it was easy to capture everyone, even those split in half were still alive, so we left them with Cortana.” (Karina)
“I’ll look for them later, there’s something I want to test, they might be useful.” (me)
After that we went through some rooms, all of them are half destroyed and it must have happened because of how this space is out of control, every now and then I see cracks open and close around us.
We went through rooms full of books, rooms full of what I imagined to be magical servers since they were full of crystals organized like computer servers, we also went through rooms full of materials of all kinds, most of which were destroyed, just like all the other rooms.
We also went through rooms where body parts were contained in boxes or glass cylinders, we also went through rooms where bodies were open and dismembered, rooms where surgical tools and masses of metal stained with blood were arranged, also half destroyed.
We continued down the stairs to the underground, we went through 8 floors before noticing a large increase in restrictions, this time there were traps and several types of Ascending Golems, but almost everything was useless.
Signs of battle were everywhere, this time it didn’t seem to be something caused by the power of the Ascendant Laws going out of control.
“That wasn’t normal, was it you?” (me)
“Yes, just my body is enough to break those toys and those traps are too weak to have any effect on me.” (Akatosh)
“He ignored the traps and marched like a force of nature destroying everything in his path, I honestly don’t even know how this passage didn’t collapse.” (Karina)
“I see.” (me)
“We’re almost there.” (Karina)
“I’ll leave them to you, but there’s someone among them that I need.” (Akatosh)
“A Dragon?” (me)
“Yes, a Divine Dragon, I could feel its power, this is a Dragon of Wisdom, one that became a God or was born a God.” (Akatosh)
“I suppose that’s rare.” (me)
“A Dragon of Wisdom is more than rare, in our universe and in all others connected to the Tree of Creation, there have only been 2 Dragons of Wisdom and neither of them was a Divine being.” (Akatosh)
“They are physically weak, but have a large reserve of energy, are extremely intelligent and have ways of accumulating knowledge quickly, as well as being beings who love academic study, can use all the elements and unique abilities.” (Akatosh)
“Among the Dragons, there are few who focus on theoretical studies, we are a warrior race by nature, even the most intelligent ones study in a focused way on relevant subjects.” (Akatosh)
“Do you want to take him to our universe?” (me)
“No, I want something better, I want him to connect both to the universes of the Ascendants when we finish here as well as to the universes of the Tree of Creation, including ours.” (Akatosh)
“I want to create a Dragon Library with the knowledge of Dragons from multiple universes, to create an eternal heritage for Dragons.” (Akatosh)
“…” (me)
“So you don’t care about this Dragon, but rather about his unique race?” (me)
“Of course I do. I don’t even know him. Even though I favor him because of his race, I don’t know him well enough to judge his other characteristics, and I don’t know his path of strength.” (Akatosh)
“(Then I can do as I planned without having to displease Akatosh…)” (me)
This time my mind was a little heavy with what I was about to do, but I couldn’t put a foot back. I don’t have the luxury of making mistakes now, nor the indulgence of trusting easily.
Each flight of stairs was very deep. The underground floors were far apart, but this flight of stairs was even longer, and from the destruction I passed through, it was clear how many traps and Ascendant Golems were contained here. This next floor is clearly important to the Ascendants.
“Is this the last floor?” (me)
“Yes, the prison floor where these Gods are being contained.” (Karina)
We continued down until we saw the exit. There were two more barriers there, but instead of blocking our passage, the two barriers collided with each other, opening and closing the passage. With this, we managed to pass one at a time in a few seconds.
I was soon in a Salam where chains and special scarves were thrown everywhere, with a lot of dried blood staining everything. This was not caused now, but has been like this for many years.
There was also a large door, this one was strongly secured. The Runes of the Law were active and surrounded by a Crystal in the middle, where a Rune of the Law was flashing. The door itself was made of metal and emanated Anomalous power. The walls were also fortified and it would not be possible to cross. This was clearly done by one of the 3 Ascended leaders. I had this perception immediately.
“I feel signs of life behind the door.” (me)
“It’s them, we can’t communicate, but we can feel their Auras from here, my attacks didn’t do anything against that door and when I tried to use my Divine power I felt the danger and sealed it again.” (Akatosh)
“I see.” (me)
I’m sure the Ascendants must have taken precautions against the Gods, not because any of them would invade but to prevent them from escaping from this place.
