The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

"A life or death!?"

Upon hearing that name, Elise's pupils dilated instantly and she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Essence of killing and seizing? What is that?"

Vivian, the only one present who had never heard of this word, raised her hand in confusion and asked.

Her words certainly eased the tense atmosphere in the restaurant.

Elise swallowed hard, and then explained to Vivian that this magic, no, it should be said to be the terrifying part of divine magic.

As a legendary mage with an age exceeding three digits, Elise spent a long time traveling in the Karen plane with her teacher when she was young.

While touring and learning all kinds of strange magic, I also naturally got to know the legendary gods.

Among them, there is written information about the special powers possessed by the gods.

[Life and death] is one of the abilities that belongs exclusively to higher gods.

The description of life and death is actually very simple. It has only two effects:

1: The gods who control life and death can designate any mortal to extinguish his life.

Two: The gods who control life and death can designate any dead mortal to resurrect them.

After this ability is successfully cast, you can automatically cross dimensional barriers and pass through obstacles (including all protective magic except extraordinary shields), and achieve cross-dimensional spellcasting.

But this also has a premise, that is, the target must be somewhere that the god can perceive - within the range of the god's senses or remote sensing ability.

If the deity cannot see the target, the deity must know the target's characteristics before the spell can be successfully cast.

Give a chestnut:

If Hogg unfortunately dies in battle one day, and Ron wants to resurrect Hogg, but doesn’t know where he died.

He can choose the following conditions for filtered resurrection:

[I want to resurrect one: One-eyed, named "Hogg", whose strength is legendary, age is fourteen, born in the Karen plane, a dragon-veined kobold with iridescent dragon blood. 】

After going through this series of screening conditions, a brand new Kobold Hogg will be resurrected and summoned to Ron~~~~

Really brand new from the factory!

Because a being resurrected in this way will definitely be without clothes, it is recommended to prepare clothes when using this power to avoid embarrassment.

The price for doing all this is that Ron cannot use [Life and Death] again within 1 minute!

It can be said that there is no price!

(Of course, this kind of filtered resurrection may occasionally be omitted. For example, you may resurrect some dead people who also have this condition, thus triggering a series of major events)

Likewise, if a god chooses to kill a mortal, the mortal he has in mind will die immediately!

And after that, this mortal cannot be awakened or resurrected, unless a god with equal or higher divinity uses [Life and Death]!

(It is worth noting that the scope of mortals here refers to: all demigods and all lives below demigods, that is, all non-gods.)

The spell of life and death is almost the magic that best reflects the essential difference between gods and mortals in the entire star world.

In front of the gods who have control over life and death, the boundary between life and death for mortals is almost completely controlled by them. Life or death is only a matter of a thought.

There’s nothing left to chance about this!

No matter what kind of talented warrior he is, no matter how dazzling his performance is, no matter how he fights across ranks.

As long as he has not become a god, even a legendary dragon is no different from an ordinary chicken in the face of life and death!

"Hell, you just went out for a year and you became a high god from a demigod?"

Elise's eyes widened and she looked at Ron in disbelief.

to know

Although the spell casting effect is incredible, the difficulty of mastering [Life and Death] is equally extraordinary!

This standard is very harsh even among gods.

Normally

[Life and Death] basically only awakens among gods in the stage of great divine power.

And the god must have the field abilities related to [Death] and [Life] to use it.

These two conditions screen out almost 99.9% of the gods in the star realm.

Those with [Death] and [Life] abilities do not have great divine power. Those with great divine power may just lack the relevant abilities.

This also leads to the fact that those who can use this ability are basically the main gods of various major gods.

(Exemplary representative: Elf Lord Corellon)

For these gods, there is no need to use this ability to resurrect or want a mortal to die.

With just one word, the sub-gods and believers under the main god will be like sharks smelling blood, and will fight tooth and nail to achieve their goals.

Even after this incident, they would not even let the Lord God take another look, but they were still happy with it.

"I said, did you misunderstand something?"

Hear the words

Ron glanced at Elise speechlessly.

This guy's imagination is too rich.

One year to jump from demigod to the level of high god (great divine power)? Do you think you are a disciple of Fengling Yueying Sect?

"Ahem, cough, cough, it's not that exaggerated."

Ron coughed twice:

"There is probably still a little gap between me and the higher gods."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a small gap with his thumb and index finger:

"Just a few hundred million points."

Elise, Gaia, Vivian, Setsuna: "."

In fact, even Ron himself is not quite clear about the reason why he can master the power of life and death.

It's not just that his divine power is not up to standard.

At present, Ron actually only masters the power of [Light].

Well, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with the two powers of [Life] and [Death]. It can only be said that they are very different.

No matter how you look at it, Ron does not have the prerequisites to use the power of life and death.

But the strange thing is

Since he entered the realm of gods, He naturally mastered this power, and even mastered it more skillfully than the power of [Light] unique to the rainbow dragon family!

It's like... using it frequently.

Coming back to his senses from his messy thoughts.

Ron tilted his head slightly, his eyes fell on Gaia, who had been silent all the time, and couldn't help asking curiously:

"Since you can see that this is the power of life and death, you should also be able to see that what I just released was not the [Hand of Death]. Why did you react like this?"

Pick up the silver spoon again and scoop up a spoonful of soup slowly.

The silver spoon paused slightly in the air.

"So, can you give me a reason?"

Ron blew the hot air on the soup before he leaned close to his mouth, waiting for the answer in a gentle voice:

"Gaia."

"Reason."

After a moment of silence, Gaia slowly raised her head.

Under her drooping eyelids, her emerald green eyes flashed with star-like light, as if everything in the world was contained in them.

"Hermione is my first friend, and I don't want to lose her."

Her voice was low and firm.

Hearing this, Ron did not show any displeasure, but continued to ask patiently:

"Then did you ask your friends for their opinions when you did this?"

"."

Behind Gaia

Hermione behind Gaia felt a hint of tension.

She took a step forward and gently pulled Gaia's hem, trying to relax her.

However, Gaia's determination was like a solid shield, still firmly blocking Hermione and looking at Ron.

Although this protective gesture had no practical use, it was full of determination and emotion.

Everyone looked at this scene and didn't know what to do.

Hermione, who was closest to them, could clearly feel Gaia's concern and her kindness.

She walked to Gaia and whispered:

"Father won't hurt me."

Gaia turned around suddenly and faced Hermione, with an uncontrollable eagerness in her voice:

"No! You don't understand at all."

Her voice trembled slightly because of her emotions, and she shouted at Hermione, who was stunned:

"Even God can't create a new race with infinite lifespan and the same wisdom, reproduction speed, and growth speed as humans."

"This is the rule, and it's also the price!"

"So."

She gritted her teeth and tried not to let the stars in her eyes fall:

"If you become a human, all your vital signs will become the level of ordinary people."

"You will get sick, grow old, and die. Even if you become a demigod, your life span is only a few thousand years."

"I don't want to see you old and dying. I don't want to."

Before she finished speaking,

suddenly, a hand gently reached out and pulled Gaia into her arms.

That was Hermione.

She hugged Gaia tightly in her arms, warm and firm.

Feeling the familiar warm embrace.

Gaia finally let down her guard and buried her head deeply in Hermione's shoulder.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Hermione gently patted Gaia's back, like coaxing a child who was afraid of the night, her voice was like a gentle spring breeze:

"No matter how long we live, we will grow up eventually."

"Although time may take away some things, it will also teach us the most important meaning of growth."

"But."

Gaia wanted to say something in a low voice, but Hermione said first:

"Father didn't force me, all this is my own choice."

Hermione's voice was soft but tough, with a firm belief.

She lowered her head gently and whispered in Gaia's ear:

"I'll tell you a secret, I've always envied Vivian and the others."

When Gaia heard this, she couldn't help but look up and looked at Hermione in disbelief.

She really didn't understand

why her friends envied those humans with short lives, and why they wanted to become those short-lived races.

Hermione saw the doubts in her friend's heart.

For the first time, she showed a sincere smile on her face, as if a ray of sunshine fell on everyone's heart:

"I don't want to eat those bitter magic cores anymore."

Hermione pouted: "Every time I eat them, it feels like I'm chewing glass. My teeth are almost sore."

"And"

Hermione gently grabbed Gaia's hand and placed it on her theoretical heart.

It was an energy conversion core that didn't make any sound, and a trace of Ron's divine power was constantly running in it.

"I also want to be like a real girl,

I want to feel the beating of the heart

I want to taste delicious food

I want to experience the taste of growing up"

Hermione's words seemed to travel through time, and Gaia could feel the desire and yearning in her heart.

Gaia looked up.

At this moment, in Hermione's eyes, there was a yearning and longing for a free life.

"No matter what happens, I will remember Gaia and our friendship."

Hermione's voice was firm yet gentle.

She looked at Gaia and smiled slightly:

"Because we are best friends, aren't we?" (End of Chapter)
