During this time of war, Garon realized the importance of this extraordinarily potential family.
"The Alpha family is fully prepared. All spellcasters and psionics are at your command at any time."
"The Alpha family will secure the crown of glory for you in this war," Ania said.
From Nehemiah's words, this Alpha leader had already learned about the war between dragons and elves, expressing a direct willingness to follow Garon into battle.
Garon smiled slightly and said, "For now, stay on the planet Kara. When I need you, you will be the sharpest blade in my hand."
The abilities possessed by this group of fire mages were not as diverse and numerous as those of traditional mages from the eight schools.
However, without exception, they were all exceptionally proficient in destruction.
Due to the influence of fire elemental energy, the temperament of fire mages is inherently volatile. The destruction of the Alpha Tia Empire was not unrelated to the temperament of fire mages. The fire mages of the Alpha family now strive to cultivate their minds and control their mental states, but their essential nature is hard to change; they are merely restraining their temper.
From Ania's slightly raised and excited voice, Garon could hear her desire and anticipation for war.
Afterward, Garon called upon the other three legendary spellcasters.
After getting to know them briefly, Garon instructed them to lead the people of the Alpha family to select a suitable area in his territory and establish a new architectural complex belonging to the Alpha family.
Garon looked forward to a new Alpha Empire thriving within his territory.
And this empire would honor him as lord and believe in him as a god.
At the same time, Garon's expression became serious and solemn. He said to the four legendary spellcasters, "I will ignite the divine fire and become a new god. Since you are my family, you will also become my followers, providing me with faith and receiving my protection."
The legendary spellcasters looked at Garon, showing a hint of difficulty.
Faith is not something that can be had just by saying so.
Especially for spellcasters, they can follow Garon as a family, but making them sincerely believe in Garon is a difficult task. Moreover, faith cannot be forced; it must come from the heart.
Garon seemed to understand the spellcasters' mentality and smiled slightly, calmly saying, "This is entirely voluntary. Those who believe in me will receive my protection; those who do not will still be my family."
Ania thought for a moment and then bowed to Garon, "Great Eternal Dragon, as the leader of the Alpha family, I will do my best to guide our people to believe in you."
If the Alpha Tia Empire of old had the protection of even a single god, perhaps it wouldn't have met its ruinous end.
Moreover, if the Alpha Tia Empire at its peak had a deity to rely on, it would have been an invincible army of spellcasters.
If the dragon race now could add thousands of spellcasters with creature levels above thirty-six,
The war would have already come to an end.
Now the Alpha family is gradually flourishing again, with ambitions to rebuild the empire.
With Garon's help, this is not impossible.
As for the matter of faith, though it cannot be forced, as Ania said, it can be guided.
"I look forward to your performance; this is your reward."
Under the surprised expressions of the spellcasters, Garon generously rewarded them with the spell of immortality.
"Do not disappoint my expectations. In the future, I want to see a new Alpha Empire."
In the deep voice of the silver dragon, the legendary spellcasters saluted him.
"We promise you, the Alpha family will one day become an unstoppable magical empire under your wings."
Afterward, Garon allocated two pieces of land, settling the fire elemental beings and earth elemental beings.
These elemental beings can spontaneously alter the environment, transforming it into a land suitable for their element. Over time, it's very likely that magic ore veins of corresponding attributes will be born.
Planet Kara is not small, and as the lord of the Dragon Court, Garon's territory is surprisingly large, with many areas still vacant.
Settling the followers from the Lava Half-Plane was easy and even then, his territory couldn't be fully utilized; many areas remained vacant.
After settling the followers from the Lava Half-Plane, Garon, with a thought, began to construct a spell.
With a surge of magical power, he opened a planar portal.
In an instant, stepping through the portal, he arrived at the Dragon Court Half-Plane, appearing inside the Eternal Hall.
Buzzing. A semi-illusory crystal skull spun in circles, condensing from the air and appearing in front of Garon.
Halis greeted Garon, "Great master, your servant welcomes your arrival."
Garon nodded slightly, his gaze moving to examine the surrounding Mistlock barrier.
He discovered that in the six years of his absence, the crystal skull had become noticeably stronger. Even with his demi-god power, he could feel a certain degree of strength increase within the Dragon Court Half-Plane.
This indicates that the crystal skull is no longer just legendary equipment.
It is evolving towards, or has already become, a divine artifact.
The reason is simple: the legendary dragons coming and going from the Dragon Court, due to fighting with elves in different worlds, have killed or captured numerous elves, including high elves.
The mature and expanded Dragon Court Half-Plane contains prison structures.
The crystal skull naturally obtained nourishment from the blood of many high elves, mainly legendary high elves, so it became increasingly powerful under their nourishment.
"Guard the Dragon Court Half-Plane well and fulfill your duties," Garon said.
"Your will is my mission."
The crystal skull spun, with countless runes flowing across its surface, speaking.
At this moment, Garon couldn't help but admire Halis.
Not the crystal skull Halis, but the lich Halis who once opposed him and caused Garon to face a life-threatening crisis for the first time.
Whether it's the blood sacrifice ascension ritual or the crystal skull capable of activating the Mistlock, both prove Halis was an exceptionally intelligent spellcaster. Unfortunately, he became a lich for eternal life, twisted in mind, and unlucky enough to encounter Garon, a young time dragon.
"Mistlock, even many legendary dragons with profound magical knowledge find it difficult to decipher."
"In this war, Mistlock is also the most solid barrier defense among the elves."
Garon looked at the crystal skull, lost in thought.
He had tried to learn Mistlock, but this high elven magical art seemed only usable by high elves, so he failed. After seeing the Mistlock defense array on planet Kara, Garon was intrigued again.
But with his current spellcaster level, he still can't perform the Mistlock domain.
Similarly, many dragons are researching Mistlock.
After all, if they can unlock Mistlock, it would be equivalent to directly negating one of the elves' trump cards, greatly turning the tide of battle and causing a devastating blow to the elf army relying on Mistlock defense.
But so far, there has been no success.
Garon extended his dragon claw.
The crystal skull obediently floated over, bobbing between Garon's dragon claws.
"Perhaps, I can ask Hal
is himself."
"If he could create equipment like the crystal skull, maybe he could also create a spell to counter Mistlock."
In the flow of time, the fleeting brilliance of some spellcasters is more dazzling than the wisdom of gods. These precious knowledge buried in the dust of history are also what Garon seeks.
Soon after, Garon arrived at the dragon's nest inside the Eternal Hall.
Countless gold and silver treasures undulated slightly, within which one could hear the breathing of a huge true dragon.
Garon looked closely, his gaze piercing through the gaps between the gold and silver treasures, seeing only the scales and claws of Yuna, the power dragon still in slumber. In just over a month, her aura had significantly strengthened.
Garon could also sense the turbulent, vortex-like field of power both inside and outside Yuna.
Yuna had consumed a lot of demi-god crystal nuclei in one go, and as a legendary dragon species, her efficiency in absorbing such external elements was as high as Garon's. It wouldn't be excessive to say she could leap to the demi-god level after waking up this time.
But, this requires a not-short period of slumber.
Garon wasn't sure when Yuna would wake up.
Time quietly passed. After staying in the dragon's nest for a while, Garon planned to leave the Eternal Hall and head to the material world where Carlo is, first helping this day dragon eliminate its enemies, freeing it from his battle zone.
Like Garon, the current Iron Dragon King and the ancient day dragon are among the dragon race's rare top combat forces at this time.
The current Iron Dragon King's figure rampages through several material worlds, slaughtering countless elf enemies for the dragon army. If Carlo is also freed, able to support the dragon race in other battle zones at will, the dragon race's advantage in the material world will further expand.
No need for earth-shattering victories.
Just with a few unstoppable powerful dragons, the dragon race in the material world can gradually consume the elf army, step by step turning the advantage into an irreversible victory.
However, before Garon could leave.
A familiar aura approached.
Without waiting for the other party to enter the Eternal Hall, Garon's figure disappeared from the dragon's nest and appeared outside.
Among the rolling clouds, countless legendary dragons of various types came and went through teleportation magic, with palaces and mountains hanging among the flowing clouds.
Garon appeared at the top of the Eternal Hall.
As the lord of the Dragon Court appeared, many legendary dragons stopped, bowed in greeting, and then resumed their tasks.
Among the legendary dragons, a small, exquisite white dragon, barely over twenty meters long, was reflected in Garon's pupils.
It was the long-unseen white dragon mother.
Thanks to Garon's status, this weak white dragon was taken from the war-torn planet Kara to the Dragon Court Half-Plane. Although she clamored to participate in the war to avenge her eldest son, the dragons in the Dragon Court ignored her, and she couldn't use planar teleportation to leave the Dragon Court.
"Garon, wuuu, you're actually still alive. I thought you had died."
The white dragon mother squeezed out a few tears, real or fake, approaching rapidly, and excitedly bombarded Garon with dragon language.
"Six years, do you know how I spent these six years?"
"I hate the elves so much I itch for revenge, wanting to avenge you, but these dragons won't let me leave the half-plane."
Thinking he was already dead
People or dragons familiar with Garon almost all believed Garon would surely return.
Only the white dragon mother thought Garon was gone.
This left Garon somewhat speechless.
The white dragon mother's personality remained unchanged, showing no growth.
But this was normal; she was just an ordinary, pure white dragon. A few years wasn't enough for significant growth or change, which would have surprised Garon.
On the other side, after hearing the white dragon mother's words, Garon's face showed black lines, saying, "I am eternal and immortal. How could I die easily?"
The white dragon mother's mournful expression disappeared in an instant, and she giggled, "Right, worthy of being my Sallya's excellent lineage, even surviving an attack by a powerful divine force."
Saying this, she proudly raised her head.
As if she was the one who escaped the attack by a powerful divine force, not Garon.
Immediately, the white dragon mother curiously inquired about what happened to Garon during the six years he disappeared.
Garon didn't want to chat with her for too long and casually mentioned a few things, briefly glossing over them.
"All these dragons here are your subordinates, right?"
"Hmph, Garon, they bullied me, not listening to me. You have to help me punish them," the white dragon mother said, her eyes spinning.
Garon decisively shook his head, earnestly saying to the white dragon mother, "The dragons here are the backbone of our dragon race, fighting bloodily to win this war. Are they to be punished just because you say so?"
Legendary dragons listening quietly to Garon and the white dragon mother's conversation all showed smiles.
"Don't be willful. They restrained you here only because of my status."
Pausing, Garon added, "Sallya, if you want to join the battle, then go ahead."
"But, with your strength and temperament, you'll probably not survive a day in the war."
"You might even be captured by the elves, becoming the enemy's slave, suffering torture."
The white dragon mother shrank her head, wisely softening her stance, "I just wanted to help you seek revenge. But since you're alright, I'll stay in the Dragon Court Half-Plane and not cause trouble for the brave dragon warriors."
In the surging sea of clouds, Garon and the white dragon mother briefly conversed for a few minutes before parting ways.
He was quite busy, having to take care of other battle zones and planning to confront the first Iron Dragon King. He didn't have much spare time to idle chat with the white dragon mother.
Afterward, Garon used the world coordinates given by the day dragon Carlo as an anchor point to construct a world teleportation spell.
A creature level close to demi-god, almost equal to the ancient day dragon, Garon wanted to see how long its true polymorph could withstand him.
