Chapter 298: Eight and a Half Gods
Volibear glanced at Garon, a bit taken aback.
For Volibear, the thrill of battling formidable demigods was enough to excite him. He didn't concern himself with whether it was worth it or not.
However, he didn't interrupt his younger brother's speech.
The seal nun blinked her rounded eyes, asking, "What do you mean?"
Garon looked at the blue rune encased in a water sphere and said seriously, "I think you should let us brothers keep this rune."
Before the seal nun could refuse, Garon continued, "You should be aware that with your abilities, you are not capable of protecting such a rune. Even if we help you deal with Nagakabouros now, there might be others like it coveting the rune later."
"And you're keeping the rune to prevent its power from harming the ocean again."
"That's simple. All of us brothers live on the continent. If we keep the rune, even if its power erupts later, your ocean will still be unaffected."
"Don't rush to refuse. Think carefully about my words."
After speaking, Garon just quietly watched the seal nun, waiting patiently for her response.
This rune seemed to be made of the world's most primitive magic, an undeniable treasure. To a true dragon like Garon, who was keen on collecting treasures, he naturally wanted to obtain it.
However, what he said to the seal nun was also reasonable.
Indeed, the seal nun would have difficulty protecting this rune.
On the other side, after hearing Garon's words, the seal nun furrowed her brows slightly, falling into thought.
She occasionally looked at the blue rune, then shifted her gaze between Garon and Volibear, her eyes wandering back and forth, seemingly wrestling with a fierce internal struggle.
Time slowly passed.
After more than half an hour, the seal nun sighed and looked up at the massive body of the silver dragon, saying, "You're right. Because of this rune, I almost died at the hands of Nagakabouros."
"I don't have enough power to protect it."
Saying this, the water wrapped around the blue rune, slowly moving towards Garon.
"I call it the World Rune."
"You brothers are more suited to guard the World Rune than I am."
After a pause, the seal nun continued, "Actually, I think there's more than one World Rune."
"I've witnessed the power it possesses. If used carelessly, it could cause unimaginable destruction to our world."
Garon reached out his claw, gently picking up the World Rune.
He could clearly feel that the power contained within the World Rune was enough to intimidate demigods.
Under Garon's control, the formless power of time gathered, centering on the World Rune, gradually forming a translucent white amber-like crystal that completely enclosed it.
"Hmm?"
"Indeed, you are more suitable to guard it than I am," the seal nun expressed her astonishment.
She had previously used the power of the ocean to seal the World Rune, but couldn't completely block the dispersal of its power, hence she couldn't avoid being tracked by Nagakabouros.
Now, under the silver dragon's claws, the World Rune sealed in white amber seemed to have lost all connection with the surrounding world. It could be seen, but its presence was undetectable.
Time Amber Sealing Technique.
This was a time-based ability that Garon awakened along with the Future Vision, the Time Alliance. After becoming a demigod and significantly leaping in strength, his time-based abilities also increased substantially.
Additionally, his breath had also gained a new ability.
However, due to its immense power and consumption, Garon didn't use it in his battle with Volibear.
"Nagakabouros won't let this go easily."
"It will definitely try to find out the whereabouts of the World Rune through me."
"Unless I leave the ocean, my situation is very dangerous," the seal nun said, worried about her safety after handing over the World Rune.
Although Garon had obtained what he wanted, he wasn't the type to discard allies after use, so he said to the seal nun, "Let it come. My second brother and I will help you deal with the trouble it brings."
The seal nun thought for a moment, then said, "Should we also call Ornn and Anivia?"
"Nagakabouros is very powerful and has enslaved demigod beasts under its command. It would be safer this way."
Ornn was currently focused on forging armor for Volibear and later, repairing Garon's secret weapon, Imaskar, which would keep him busy for a long time.
As for Anivia, she should be relatively free.
After hearing the seal nun's words, Volibear laughed heartily, saying in a booming voice, "It's been a long time since us brothers have fought together. Let's do that, I'll call sister Anivia."
"As for brother Ornn, he's busy, so let's not disturb him."
Saying this, the giant bear reached into the thick fur on his chest, rummaging around, and then, under Garon's curious gaze, pulled out a feather that seemed to be made of ice crystal.
Crack!
Volibear slightly exerted force with his bear paw, crushing the ice crystal feather.
"Alright, this is Anivia's feather."
"It won't be long before she arrives," Volibear said.
At the junction of the icy continent and the boundless ocean, amidst the slightly fishy, cold sea breeze, time slowly passed.
After a while.
Anivia was still on her way.
At this moment, Garon, Volibear, and the seal nun, the three demigods, simultaneously focused their gaze, looking far into the depths of the ocean.
Three barbaric and ferocious auras emerged.
On the tumultuous sea surface, the silhouettes of three enormous creatures could vaguely be seen.
Gradually, their full contours appeared in the vision of the few demigods.
A black iron-colored sea beast, a hundred meters long, resembling a shark with skyward fins and a saw-toothed mouth, was breaking through the sea, pulling a long trail behind it. Not far from it, a creature covered in spikes, about fifty meters in diameter, resembling a sea urchin, and a giant lion made of sea water, sixty meters long, galloping swiftly across the sea surface.
These three were mindless demigod beasts.
"Among these, the Black Gold Shark and the Poisonous Spine Urchin attacked me before. The other, the Water Lion, is likely enslaved by Nagakabouros as well."
Being able to enslave three beasts of the same caliber as itself.
Nagakabouros was indeed a powerful demigod, far stronger than many Garon had encountered on the continent. After all, just these three beasts were enough to tear apart many average-strength demigods.
The seal nun survived Nagakabouros's pursuit thanks to her excellent fleeing abilities.
Meanwhile.
Behind the three beasts, another strong demigod aura slowly rose.
A gigantic green octopus, with numerous hundred-meter-long thick tentacles, slowly emerged from the water. Countless violent whirlpools surrounded it, boiling a large area of the ocean like rolling water, its substantial demigod aura spreading in
