Chapter 724: War
Erste appeared before the otherworldly mother of all dragons and with him were his companions and the three dragons.
[It would seem that you have achieved what my children have failed to do, but with a price. I would have apologized for your loss, but it seems that you have gained more than you have lost, and even what you lost could be regained.]
"Yeah, it was quite the experience, except for the part that I won by cheating it was overall an okay thing."
Sayaka suddenly approached Erste and grabbed hold of his shirt while tears flowed down her face.
"You b*stard are you telling me that the deaths of Sir Gratz and that fool Jonathan died and you just say it was just okay to you! I don't care if you're the strongest, I'll f*cking beat you up!"
"Sayaka enough!" Frieda commanded.
"But leader, that guy he disrespected not only the fool Jonathan, but even Sir Gratz! I can't let it go, Sir Gratz was so kind to this b*stard and he makes his death sound so trivial."
"Sayaka no matter how much you shout or how much Erste badmouths them it doesn't mean anything anymore. They are dead and we are alive that's all there is to it." Schlau also gave his opinion on the matter.
"What do you mean?! Are you telling me that it's alright to speak badly to those who sacrificed their lives for us?! Even though I know I'm the weakest among us here, I'll not stop until I hit that b*stard in the face." Sayaka shouted as she pointed at Erste who had a confused look on his face.
"Hey, it seems like you guys have a huge misunderstanding."
"Huh?" The three humans look at Erste, even Schlau who had always seemed like he knew everything showed visible signs of confusion. It was subtle but those who knew him well have never seen his poker face break like that.
"You make it sound like you won't be able to meet Gratz and Jonathan again."
"..."
Sayaka became even more confused, but Frieda and Schlau started to see something different. The one Erste defeated was not just a normal God like the New Gods and the Old Gods, but an Ancient One that governs over death itself.
Every time they defeated a God they were able to steal a bit of that God's authority or abilities. So what kind of thing was Erste able to steal from the one who governs over death?
"I did not only steal a part of his power, I took everything from that Ancient One. So I can do things like this."
Erste took out the orb that housed all the souls Ractopictan had in his kingdom. He closed his eyes and called out the souls he needed. The orb glowed and out came two figures, when the three had seen who was in front of them they were stunned especially Sayaka who was already crying.
"Sir Gratz! Jonathan!"
Even though their bodies were practically see-through the three of them could not mistake the two people standing in front of them.
"It's good to see that everyone else was able to make it out alive," Gratz responded with a smile.
"My beautiful muscles can no longer grow, the sorrow," Jonathan screamed while doing his usual poses.
Seeing the two deceased generals acting in such a way made the others smile. While the group was talking to the two deceased generals Erste interrupted their reunion.
"You see, there was no need for you to get angry or sad. I promise you all here, now that I have the authority over death, I will make it so none of us will ever fear death again. I will make it so that every death we have fighting against those b*stards who call themselves gods becomes meaningful."
Hearing Erste's sudden declaration a smile appeared on the faces of his companions. Erste then looked at the mother of all dragons and spoke aloud.
"I have fulfilled my end of the bargain, mother of all dragons Mitera."
[That rings true, young and prideful human, very well then. I the Mother of all Dragons, the origin of the dragon race hereby declare that I and all dragons shall help humanity against their fight with the arrogant Gods!]
The mother of all dragons so declared and roared her children roared with her. The very universe they were in shook with the roar of dragons not only the universe where the mother of all dragons, but the universes with dragons shook because of their mighty roars. This was a declaration of the dragons, a declaration of battle, of bloodshed, of war.
"So it's time for us to stop being the hunted and become the hunters," Erste mumbled to himself.
[Erste, is it alright if I move the human HQ near me?]
Everyone including the dragons was shocked to hear the mother of all dragons, the strongest being present not only call Erste by his given name but also ask permission.
"We are now allies and it would be better if our base is close to you."
[Then tell me its location and I'll bring it here.]
"Can you wait for a few hours we need to inform those in the HQ what is about to happen."
[Very well.]
Erste then signaled Frieda to head back and inform the other members about what was going to happen. Frieda sighed as she opened a portal and left.
"While we're waiting are you going to call all of the dragons to discuss a plan of attack?"
[There is no need for any of my children to come here physically. Since I'm connected to all dragons in existence everything that is happening can be relayed to them as if they were all here.]
"So all of the dragons are listening to me right now?"
[That is correct.]
When Erste heard that confirmation a vicious smile appeared on his face. Once Frieda came back and the HQ of the rebellion was teleported near the mother of all Dragons Erste spoke up.
"Mother of all dragons I have something to say to all your children."
[Very well, child speak and they will listen.]
"Every single stinking lizard out there."
The opening statement Erste made already angered the dragons present within his area but when they saw their mother not saying anything they held back their anger and continued to listen to what Erste had to say.
"To those of you who have been hiding as if you could not be bothered with anything. You so-called prideful dragons who have allowed those arrogant Gods to step all over. Now is the time to bear your fangs and tear them apart. Now is the time when will make all those arrogant Gods fall from their place. Let us all bathe in their blood and let us trample upon their dignity.
This is war, what I need is not the cowardly lizards who hide, what I need is the mighty dragons that will crush everything in their path! Come my future comrades, it is time for war!"
The roars of all the dragons once again echoed throughout the entire multiverses.
