When Garon woke from his slumber, his brain was still somewhat groggy.
Platinum dragon pupils gradually opened, his vision at first pitch black, then the darkness slowly became blurred, and light emerged.
"What happened last?"
Garon's consciousness slowly regained clarity.
His last memory before fainting was of a nearly six hundred meter tall Thunder Giant Bear descending from the sky to attack the kilometer-long crimson python.
Before arriving in this timeline.
Garon had always been proud of his size, after all, a body length of over fifty meters in the material world was indeed unmatched by many creatures, standing at the very top of the material world's food chain. Previously, it was always Garon's size that shocked other beings, but this time, the last image in his memory brought Garon an unimaginable shock.
What concept is a six hundred meter tall giant bear?
It stands upright on the earth, its form more majestic and towering than some mountains.
A single step could crush a group of Ultramen.
And the kilometer-long python, its body stretching like a river. It could reach into the clouds just by raising its head.
Boom, boom, boom. Thunderous sounds from nowhere, like the rolling thunder within the clouds, accompanied by the heavy breathing of the beast, slowly entered Garon's ears.
"Awake?"
A deep roar sounded, containing a clear meaning.
Garon's heart chilled, he turned his head, searching for the source of the sound.
He seemed to be in a giant cave at this moment, with the walls and the ground below made of compacted rock, and the air occasionally shot out strands of electric light, filled with a scorching, paralyzing scent. Outside the cave was a wild storm, silver lightning roaring down, illuminating the sky.
As for the owner of the voice, it was not far behind Garon.
He looked intently.
A giant bear wrapped in thunder and lightning stood upright, staring at him.
This bear was robust and muscular, seemingly containing limitless power within its body. Its fur was white tinged with blue, with countless arcs of electricity jumping between its thick fur. It was the demigod giant bear that had attacked the python last, giving Garon the feeling of being the physical embodiment of storm and lightning.
However, to Garon's surprise, the bear he saw now, although still imposingly tall, was no longer the hundreds of meters tall terrifying beast.
It was about sixty meters tall now.
Garon thought of the demigod python that attacked him.
Initially, the python's body was about a hundred meters long, but once it entered an attack state, it instantly became a kilometer-long terrifying beast.
It seems that was just a state of super-enlargement, not its actual size.
Garon breathed a sigh of relief, his shocked heart finding some comfort.
The silver dragon flapped his wings, standing up, and looked at the Thunder Giant Bear, saying, "Was it you who saved me?"
When standing up, Garon noticed that his injuries had mostly healed, but the erosion force at the spots pierced by the divine light sword on his wing, abdomen, and claw had not been completely expelled, leaving Garon's state from reaching its peak.
The giant bear, under Garon's somewhat wary gaze, took rumbling steps towards him.
Then, it raised its bear paw and slapped towards Garon.
Garon's heart tightened, subconsciously wanting to use time stop, but not sensing malice in the bear's actions and considering the other's demigod strength and that it had just saved him, he suppressed the power of time and did not use time stop to prevent.
Thump!
The furry giant paw hit Garon's shoulder, immediately making a dull sound.
Under the other's tremendous force, Garon's body swayed.
"You're not very big, but your body is quite sturdy."
"It seems you've mostly recovered."
"Not very big," Garon looked at the giant bear's large body without retorting.
Even if it wasn't in a super-enlarged state, the sixty meters tall bear's oppressive feeling was still overwhelming, much larger than Garon.
The giant bear lowered its head, getting closer to Garon, sniffing a few times.
After sniffing Garon's scent, the bear moved its head back, crossed its arms, and said, "How did you end up in the Lava Python's territory?"
Lava Python.
The bear was referring to the demigod python. Garon thought to himself.
"It was due to some accidental circumstances."
Garon replied.
The bear nodded, speaking with a tone of sympathy and pity, "With your strength, you're no match for those fierce beasts. It must have been tough surviving until now."
"Fierce beasts," Garon wasn't clear on the bear's terminology.
A demigod-level monster in its mouth was just a fierce beast.
Before Garon could inquire about the world, the bear seemed to think of something, its tone suddenly becoming excited.
It laughed heartily, slapping Garon's shoulder hard, its voice like thunderous roars.
"You're too weak."
"Instead of struggling to survive on your own, why not recognize me as your big brother and join me?"
"Join me! Become my brother, and you won't have to worry about your safety anymore."
This, looking at the enthusiastic, grinning giant bear, Garon didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Am I really that weak?
He fell into deep self-doubt.
If most creatures in this world are of the demigod level like the Lava Python and the giant bear, then Garon, still some distance from demigodhood, would indeed be considered a weak creature compared to them.
Just arriving in this unknown world, Garon had already realized its dangerous level.
Through the bear's words, he could deduce that demigod-level creatures might be common here, divided into Lava Python-like unintelligent demigod beasts and intelligent demigod beings like the giant bear. It likely saved Garon because it recognized he wasn't a beast but a fellow being of its kind.
"Perhaps it's a very ancient timeline."
"Savage, ancient, powerful."
Garon thought to himself.
Like when the multiverse was first born, there were only primal deities, or Wild Gods, creatures born with the universe, incarnations of some primal forces, each unimaginably powerful.
"This giant bear seems like a physical incarnation of an elemental Wild God."
Arriving in this highly dangerous world, Garon felt that recognizing the Storm Giant Bear as a big brother, finding a powerful ally first, seemed like a good choice. Moreover, the other party was likely an elemental Wild God, not low in rank, and had saved his life, so recognizing him as a big brother was not unacceptable.
Thinking this, Garon looked at the giant bear and said, "Big brother, thank you for saving my life."
Hearing Garon's words, the giant bear roared, its voice rolling, thunder bursting from its body, laughing, "Haha, since you recognize me as your big brother, then it's my duty to save you. Don't be polite with me."
After laughing, the giant bear raised three claws to Garon, "I am your big brother, so my brothers and sisters are also your brothers and sisters."
Hm?
Garon looked puzzled.
This meant that the bear brother wasn't alone.
"Once you're fully recovered, I'll take you to meet Ornn and Anivia."
"Who are they?"
Garon asked.
"They are my elder brother and younger sister, and now they will be your elder brother and younger sister as well," the giant bear said.
This... Recognizing one brother unexpectedly brought two more siblings into the mix, Garon shook his head slightly.
"Brother, I still don't know your name."
"My name is Garon."
Hearing Garon inquire about his name, the giant bear's expression became solemn, with thunderstorms swirling around him.
"My name is Volibear, the Undying Rage, the Thunder's Roar."
"I am the embodiment of strength; I am the storm!"
After finishing, Volibear's serious face returned to normal.
"From now on, you can call me Second Brother!"
Garon was momentarily stunned.
Volibear?
His true name also contained Volibear.
What a coincidence.
Garon nodded, saying, "Second Brother."
Hearing "Second Brother," Volibear's face broke into a wide, hearty smile, laughing like thunder.
"Haha, now I'm not the only little brother anymore."
"Anivia, your third sister, should like you a lot. This way, she won't be the youngest among our siblings anymore."
Soon after, Garon began to inquire about this world from his newfound second brother.
Volibear was a very enthusiastic big brother, treating Garon like family right from the start, answering in great detail.
Gradually, Garon gained a better understanding of the world he was in.
As he suspected.
This was a newly born savage world.
Terrifying beasts and primal magic roamed freely across the land, extremely dangerous, with almost every mountain home to a demigod-level creature.
Volibear referred to unintelligent demigod beasts like the Lava Python simply as beasts, while intelligent beings like himself, Ornn, and Anivia were considered true gods. They were born with the world, initially formless elemental energies, which over time gained intelligence, condensed into physical forms, and descended upon the land.
He didn't have transcendent divine power but possessed something known as the power of the storm, a kind of god-like power.
According to Garon's inherited knowledge, Volibear belonged to the Wild Gods.
He was of the same kind as the primal Sun God.
However, compared to the primal Sun God, he was somewhat weaker; after all, the primal Sun God was a being of mighty divine power, while Volibear was a demigod, a significant gap between them.
As for creatures like the Lava Python, they were beasts that lost their intelligence during the condensation process, becoming wild beasts.
Additionally, Volibear seemed to view Garon as a being who failed to condense properly, thus being weaker than other demigods.
"Little brother, don't be discouraged; I'll find a way to make you a demigod!"
Volibear patted his chest, telling Garon.
Perhaps because this world was so primitive with few intelligent beings, Volibear's thoughts as a demigod were quite simple, without any deceit. After considering Garon as a brother, he genuinely cared for Garon.
Garon nodded, asking, "Second Brother, you are the embodiment of the storm, what about elder brother and third sister?"
Volibear said, "Your elder brother Ornn is the incarnation of primal fire, skilled in forging, able to craft powerful divine weapons."
"Your third sister Anivia is the incarnation of ice crystal. Her form is somewhat similar to yours, both with a pair of wings."
Saying so, Volibear looked Garon over and continued, "We siblings all have titles."
"Indestructible Wild Thunder, Hidden Flame of the Mountain, Ice Crystal Phoenix."
"I think you should have one too."
"I'll give you a title, how about that?"
Garon thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, I already have one."
"Oh? What is it?" Volibear asked curiously.
"Eternal Dragon."
"Haha, it doesn't sound as domineering as mine, but it's also pretty good."
After chatting for a while, Volibear stood up, looking towards the cave's exit, with thunder and storms starting to stir in his fur.
"Hm? What's wrong, Second Brother?"
Garon noticed Volibear suddenly standing up and asked.
Volibear clenched his bear paw, blue lightning swirling around his claws, speaking in a dangerous tone, "Now that you're my brother, the Lava Python that severely injured you must pay a bloody price for its actions."
Garon now knew.
The Lava Python was not dead.
It was a powerful demigod beast, even for Volibear, killing the Lava Python was not an easy task.
Volibear's territory was close to the Lava Python's, and they had fought many times.
"Killing the Lava Python, its flesh and blood should be able to help you fully recover your injuries and aid your growth."
Saying this, Volibear raised his bear paw.
Whoosh!
A set of heavy armor flew out from the depths of the cave, automatically fitting onto Volibear.
The armor was engraved with many runes Garon had never seen before, seemingly tailor-made for Volibear, perfectly fitting his body. Wearing the armor, the already majestic giant bear looked even more imposing.
Seeing Garon staring at his armor, Volibear said, "This is the battle armor crafted for me by your elder brother Ornn."
"If you're interested, find Ornn later, and let your elder brother forge one for you too."
Looking at the unfamiliar runes flowing on the armor, Garon felt this world might have many places worth exploring.
According to Volibear, elder brother Ornn was very skilled in forging.
Then, the broken Imaskar artifacts might be worth a try for repair.
If so, Garon wouldn't be stuck in this world for too long.
He fell into the chaotic temporal vortex, and now the main timeline might have already erupted in war, needing him, the lord of the Dragon Court.
"Let's go, come with me."
"Let me show you the power of the thunderstorm!"
Volibear signaled Garon to join him in observing the battle.
Garon also wanted to witness a direct confrontation between demigods, so he nodded and left the cave with Volibear.
