Reborn from Conan

Chapter 967 Star King Dragon

Gollum-

In the water.

Liquid wrapped me up, and a warm and comfortable feeling permeated my entire body. Even though even my head was submerged in water, my breathing was not affected and it even felt more comfortable than ever.

She didn't know how long she had been in the darkness, but when Pepin regained consciousness, she had this feeling, and the next moment she was very confused.

I'm alive?

The God Ancestor didn't kill me? No, Pepin, who had already remembered what kind of existence the God Ancestor was, thought that this was impossible, so...

Was it really a dream? There was no such thing as going back to the past. I must have been knocked out by the skill merchant early on, or was he using some skill to explore my memory, triggering this "memories" that seemed to have gone back to the past?
Pepin felt both lost and relieved. She tried hard to open her eyes, but the strange yet familiar ceiling that came into her sight startled her expression.

Is this still... a laboratory?

My body is still in nutrient fluid?
Soon she saw the Divine Ancestor. The nutrient liquid she was soaked in flowed out through the drain, and a slightly cool feeling appeared on her naked body.

Wait, cool?

This was a feeling she only knew the meaning of but had never experienced. Although she was created as an experimental assistant and had no combat power, in order to improve her "survival performance", the God Ancestor made great improvements in her resistance.

Even if she was in the middle of ice and snow, Pepin would not feel much cold. She had never been to a place covered with ice and snow, so this coolness was just something stored in the database for her, and it was the first time she felt it.

The next moment, a heavy robe was draped over her body, and the hoarse voice of the God Ancestor echoed: "As a reward for your bringing back important intelligence and data, I have remodeled your body, Pepin. Now you have a human body like Jessir, and you can grow up, practice, and reproduce."

Pepin, who was about to sit up, stopped for a moment.

"Adapt to your new body well. If you have enough ability, the experimental tower will be under your control." The God Ancestor said again.

Without waiting for Pippin's reply, the 'God Ancestor' turned and left. Pippin's half-sitting, half-leaning body seemed to be frozen there, and did not move for a long time.

What is this...a new dream?
No, this was something she wouldn't even dare to dream of. She actually felt tenderness from the God Ancestor?!
Transformed my body into that of Jessir? In other words, I became a 'normal human being', just like the humans of later generations, no longer just an experimental assistant, and the meaning of my existence is no longer just to assist the God Ancestor.

She had never longed for such a thing before. She was proud to be the assistant of the God Ancestor. It was not until the revolving lantern appeared when she was knocked unconscious by the God Ancestor and thought she was going to die that she realized her true attitude towards Luminas was jealousy.

She also longed for a normal life, but the God Ancestor gave her this, which made her feel conflicted - did she misunderstand the God Ancestor? Did the God Ancestor actually regard me as his daughter? Am I asking for too much?
In a state of conflict, she tightened her robe for a long time, sat up, turned around and walked out.

She was very familiar with the man stationed at the door.

"Preliminary?"

Prelix looked at her, his expression mostly scrutinizing and with a strange emotion. This was the first time they met in this era, and Pepin thought it was natural, but why did he feel that strange emotion... like jealousy?
"Pepin, the God-Ancestor ordered me to cooperate with you and guard the experimental tower while he and the 'Six Sages' are out." Preliminaries said.

"…What six wise men?"

"Isn't it in your memory? It's Luminas, the five-attribute elves, and the long-eared people."

"...Luminas?!" Pepin was shocked: "How long did it take the God-Ancestor to transform me? Didn't the Elf Queen attack?!"

"They were repelled long ago. The six sages who received the power and skills granted by the God Ancestor were able to repel even the dragons." Prelix said with envy in his tone: "The God Ancestor said that you have the ability to predict the future after a certain period of time. You foresaw the attack of the Elf Queen.

What, you didn't foresee the future? Lord Shenzu and his men will definitely win the battle against the Star Dragon King, right?"

Who to defeat? The Star Dragon King? Isn't the Star Dragon King Veldonava the God of Creation?!
Oh, so this kind of news hadn't spread widely before Star King Dragon died, but...wait?
Six sages? Granting skills?
The two words were delayed for a few seconds, and they penetrated Pepin's brain like an electric current. Her body was stiff and she didn't speak for a long time.

Prelix thought she had foresight again, and looked at her in surprise and inquiry. After the scene froze for a few minutes, Pepin said in a trembling voice: "We don't need to worry about the matter of Lord Shenzu. We just need to guard his experimental tower before he returns. He didn't mean to ask you to cooperate with me, but to obey my orders, right?"

Prelix froze, unhappy and helpless, "Yes, I'll listen to you."

Pepin's mood was even more complicated.

Skill merchant, what is this? Bringing me back to this era, replacing the God Ancestor, giving me a new life? Have mercy on me?

She turned and walked away from the 'incubation room' that brought her hope and despair. Her thin body was covered with a loose robe with the hem swaying, giving her a rather majestic and domineering feeling.

"Thank you."

Prelix: “Huh?”

"nothing."

On the other side, Ji Xing, who was heading towards the Star King Dragon's territory with six demon kings following behind him, suddenly stopped, listened to something, bent down and picked up a medium-sized stone.

Under the puzzled gazes of the six demon kings, Ji Xing 'bent down and drew the bow', raised his feet and stomped on the ground to crush it, and a sonic boom roared!

The thrown stone was burned to ashes by friction after a moment of flight, and was replaced by a fireball that was getting bigger and bigger!

With him as the base point, a large fan-shaped area in front was burned to ashes, and a figure was faintly reflected in the raging fire.

"That is……"

"Jessir?!"

The eldest brother who had been missing for several days fled into the distance in panic, opening and closing his mouth as if begging for mercy, but he could not escape being swallowed by the fireball.

Rumbling--

A mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and the screams that sounded and then stopped suddenly made the six demon kings change their expressions slightly, and they looked at Ji Xing.

Under this kind of attack, they would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant. As for now... they have to rely on the skills bestowed by the God Ancestor to save their lives.

Will Jessir survive?

"Jessir came back when you were fighting the dragon species. I have given him enough opportunities." Ji Xing's explanation made the six people suddenly understand.

So Jessir had some ulterior motives? He wanted to wait and see the conflict between the God Ancestor and the Star King Dragon?
Even if it was the first disciple, would the Lord God Ancestor directly use heavy hands to purge him if he had a different mind? The six demon kings, especially the demon kings who had other ideas, felt heavy in their hearts... Well, I was talking about Luminas who almost couldn't hide her thoughts.

Ji Xing glanced at her with a smile and said, "Let's go and find the Star King Dragon."

……

the other side.

Ever since returning from the defeat and explaining the situation of the God Ancestor to their brother, Velgrynd and Velzard noticed that something was wrong with the Star King Dragon, and there was a hint of... anticipation in his emotions?
It was a different feeling from when they were pregnant with their younger brother. The two sisters couldn't explain it, they just felt it was very strange. When the God Ancestor said that the day of coming to find Star King Dragon was approaching, they were even more surprised to find that Star King Dragon actually recalled the Origin Angels.

Feldvi, Kernu, Dino, Zalario, Pico, Obera, Galaxia.

Each of them possesses the ultimate skills bestowed by the Star King Dragon, and those ranked higher even have combat power close to theirs.

What's more, with an omnipotent brother around, why would he need to mobilize the Seven Angels of Origin?

They asked Star King Dragon in confusion, but Star King Dragon smiled and asked back, "What do you think I fear the most?"

The two sisters had no idea of ​​the answer. They couldn't understand how their omnipotent brother could be afraid of anything.

The answer is loneliness.

For an immortal or a powerful being, the most feared thing is loneliness.

He has no companions around him, no lives with which he can communicate on an equal footing. Even if he suppresses his strength and integrates into the group, this group is ultimately creatures derived from the world he created, and it is difficult for him not to treat it with a condescending attitude.

So he kept weakening his own strength, and successively created the Seven Origin Angels as his subordinates, two younger sisters and a younger brother who was about to be born. Only then did his life become colorful, but at this moment he was still not satisfied.

Whether it was the World-Destroying Dragon that only knew how to destroy and was born from his scattered magic because of his self-reduced strength, or the Insect Demon Clan that had many disputes with the angels, he was tolerant of them all and looked forward to new things emerging from the collision.

Of course, he was even more looking forward to the God Ancestor, he was looking forward to more races.

As for why he could immediately realize that the God Ancestor had been replaced and Ji Xing did not belong to this era, it was because he was sure that in this era, in this world he created, no one except him could hurt his two sisters with one blow.

In addition, his two younger sisters said that Ji Xing had the scent of a dragon, so he first ruled out the possibility that Ji Xing, like himself, was a life derived from the "outside world", so the only possibility left was time travel!

And it can only come from the future, because he has experienced it in the past.

So he was full of expectations.

No matter what Ji Xing's intention was, he hoped that Ji Xing would bring as many surprises as possible. As for what the future world would look like, it was not that important because he could experience it himself.

So with this idea in mind, Xing Wanglong and Ji Xing reached a silent understanding. Since the other party wanted to start a "war", he would prepare for it as if it were a war.

When Ji Xing led the six demon kings to the Dragon Forest, everything was ready.

The first one to come is the birth of Veldora!
