The Dragon That Devours the World

Nanuo City, the city under the underworld and the head of the big snake, is the eternal hometown of the snake people. Many snake people work, pray and live in this city.

Every day, the roaring bell reminded the snake people of their work and rest, and then craftsmen wielded hammers, forged exquisite steam engines, and high-crowned nobles held scepters that symbolized status, and negotiated the future of the empire in parliament.

Walking on the street, there are not only snake people with different clothes, but also powerful brass giants. These giants are driven by steam engines and spewing hot gas. They are the guardians of snake people and the maintenance of order. By.

There are basically no other races in Nano City.

In other snake-man cities, there are still many mortal slaves, but in this rare city of Nanuo, mortals are not allowed to step in, and only the most pure-blooded snake-men can step into it.

However, there are occasional exceptions.

Above the towering high-rise buildings, a human teenager climbed above the city's high-rise buildings, jumping like an antelope and running like a cheetah. The layers of cities that are like a labyrinth are like flat ground to him, and those distances of several meters, or even dozens of meters, can be jumped over with just one jump.

On the street, there was a new snake man who entered the city of Nanuo. Seeing that a human boy dared to walk through the city at will, his face showed anger.

How could the most noble place of the snake people allow a slave to be so presumptuous?

It was about to scold, but was stopped by the surrounding snake people.

"That human being is Alkades, don't stop him."

Alkades?

When hearing this name, the new snake man was startled at first, and then his face showed a look of awe. It is not afraid of the boy, but of the goddess represented behind the boy.

Twelve years ago, the viper goddess returned to the city of Nano with a human baby in her arms. After that, the viper goddess raised the human baby and named him Alkades.

As for why it was called Alkades, the goddess did not explain, only that it was his proper name.

During these twelve years, this human baby gradually grew up, learning knowledge and music from the snake people. However, his natural passion makes him more adventurous, exploring and climbing around the city, which is what the goddess' adopted son likes to do.

In this city of snakes, he was regarded as the adopted son of the goddess, and he became the only mortal who could come and go at will.

After the daily leisure and play, the human teenager jumped down and jumped to a towering temple. The eyes of the two brass giants guarding the gate of the temple all glowed red, and then went out after recognizing the identity of the person.

Not an intruder.

Since it is not an intruder, it has nothing to do with them.

Tossing the hair behind him, the boy with unkempt hair like a lion and pupils like obsidian stepped into the temple.

"Mona, look what I brought you."

Before entering the temple, the carefree boy called out the name of the goddess.

But in this empty and lonely temple, there was no figure the boy wanted to see, only a giant lion lying on the carpet on the left.

Although the lion, which was bigger than a three-year-old bull, was lying on the carpet, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was yawning, it made people feel as if it could pounce on the boy at any time.

"Alcades, the goddess is not here now."

Opening his mouth wide, the lion's icy pupils stared at the boy, but uttered human words.

"Ah, Leo, long time no see."

Seeing that the goddess was not there and looking at the giant lion, the young man was not afraid, he approached the lion with a calm expression, and sat beside it.

He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the lion's jaw, but the lion didn't care, and let the boy scratch the mane under his jaw for himself.

He had seen this lion when he was young.

It is a monster born from the blood of Typhon, the world-devouring **** and ancestor of demons. Its fur is invulnerable, and no weapon in the world can harm it.

At that time, the lion had not yet grown up, and was brought to the temple by the viper goddess to play with the boy, until the lion was taken away by the moon **** Selene.

It has been a few years since I saw you again. Although the lion cub grew up, the boy still recognized it at a glance.

"The moon **** Selene drove the moon chariot through the underworld. Now he is meeting the goddess. I also stopped by to have a look. Now the two goddesses are meeting their father in the abyss, and they will come back in a while."

The lion squinted, and the tickling seemed good, and it relaxed a little. He continued to spit out human words and spoke to the young man.

"The goddess' father... ah, wrong, you and the goddess' co-father."

As he said that, after suddenly realizing the lion's bad behavior, the young man hurriedly changed his mind and explained.

The lion is most proud of its father, and is deeply proud of it, but because of this, he occasionally feels frustrated that he has not fully inherited his father's power. So on this topic, the lion is unexpectedly sensitive.

Seeing the lion groaning, Airi fluttered its tail in disdain, and the boy sneered before continuing.

"I don't know what your father looks like to make you and the goddess so worship and awe?"

"Hmph, how can mortals understand the power of my father."

The lion said it in a very proud tone.

"There is no being stronger than my father in this world. Among the many gods, even the **** king Zeus dare not fight against my father alone."

"In the ancient war, it was my father who fought against the gods alone, and he couldn't decide the winner for ten years. If it weren't for the cunning **** king playing tricks, this world would already be my father's belly..."

Hearing the lion's praise and inventory as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, the young man listened with great interest. Although he had heard it many times, the battle still fascinated him.

Fighting until the sea boils, the sky is torn apart, and the earth is split into pieces, such an unimaginably powerful battle... It's really amazing.

The young man thought in his mind, but there was a faint urge, if he could also participate in it...

Just as he was talking, the lion suddenly stopped, and his ears were tilted up by his more sensitive senses than humans.

"The two goddesses are back."

The boy also heard the voice and looked towards the door of the temple.

Nanuo City is under the underworld, and it is not exposed to sunlight. The sky is always dark, and there is only a faint moonlight.

At this moment, a soft moonlight appeared at the gate of the temple, and the moonlight was like water, soaking the entire ground.

In the middle of the moonlight, two graceful figures walked out.

One is the moon goddess Selene. The daughter of the Titan God wore a crescent moon crown and a long robe. Her face was covered with a veil, which made her look more and more mysterious, just like the moon hiding behind the dark clouds in the dark night.

But even with his appearance, what the boy cared more about was another person who was side by side with this goddess.

Even if I don't know how many years have passed, I still have the same girly appearance. The cold and pale face, the dead white pupils are lifeless, and some snake scales are vaguely visible behind the slender ears and slender neck.

If the beauty of the moon **** is the cold moonlight, then the beauty of the snake goddess is the silence and quiet night.

The appearance of the two is indistinguishable, but the young man prefers the latter, the reason...

"Mona!"

Jumping up, the teenager shouted and ran to Mona.

"Look what I found?"

With a condescending smile, the boy raised the thing in his hand, which was a tortoise struggling desperately.

Occasionally there are some strange things in this underworld.

Just like this little tortoise, it looks small, but in fact the circles on its carapace are numerous and countless, and I don’t know how many years it has lived in an unnoticed place. As a result, it was suddenly caught by a young man and presented to himself as a new thing. 's foster mother.

Mona looked at the turtle and nodded.

"Yes, maybe it will taste good when cooked."

The tortoise also seemed to have intelligence, and when he heard this, he struggled even more desperately.

Beside Mona, Luna held his face in his hands and chuckled lightly.

"Ah, is this the kid from the beginning? He grew up very quickly."

After hearing that he was called a child, the teenager was very dissatisfied.

"I'm not a kid, I'm great."

Saying that, the young man puffed up the muscles on his arms and showed off.

"No one in this city can beat me."

For the childish behavior of the boy, Luna smiled but said nothing.

But a voice sounded in Mona's ear.

"Is this the boy? It turns out that time has passed so quickly."

"Humans always grow fast. Why, what task did Zeus give you, are you going to let you take him away?"

"No, the King of God has not given me any tasks. All the gods know that he is very concerned about this young man. Hermes has lost him and was thrown into the mortal world to suffer, but he does not give any orders. never said."

"I'm just curious, what kind of child is that child who made the queen so angry and so concerned about the **** king. Hehe, this young man, I'm afraid he doesn't know that his destiny has been planned by the gods. Bar."

"..."

Mona didn't answer, just looked at the boy, the boy's face was full of excitement, chatting to Mona about what he thought was fun.

"Is it planned?"

Mona thought to herself.

Among the gods~www.readwn.com~ the existence of this young man is not a secret. The gods all thought that this was the test of the **** king Zeus for his own human child. But only Mona and very few gods know what kind of mission this child is carrying.

In the eyes of Zeus and even the serpent, this child will be pushed to the top of the world by Zeus, and finally confront the serpent.

For some reason, Zeus seemed convinced that the child would have a chance to defeat the serpent. The big snake scoffed at this, arrogantly waiting for this little meatball to grow up, and determined to shatter the self-confidence that Zeus had come from out of nowhere.

And no matter from which point of view, this child has indeed been planned by the gods and demons since birth.

But her natural insight into fate and her understanding of teenagers over the years made her give a negative answer.

"It's not necessarily planned... He may really surprise everyone."

Looking deeply at the boy, Mona thought to herself.
