Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 445: To believe?

Chapter 445: To believe?

"So this place," I said, pausing for a second as I glanced at the hall where we were. My eyes faced the open ceiling where countless floating planets were visible before I continued, "All of this was created by the previous Cosmic Pillar?"

"That is correct," Qharta answered.

"The previous Cosmic Pillar did not wish for the King to recover," She added, her eyes scanning all of us before she continued, "This place was one of his many attempts at preserving history from being lost."

"The Chronicles record everything. But they are also the King's loyal dogs," Yrvai spat in irritation. "They are not to be trusted."

Qhalta nodded, "Which is why we had to take matters into our own hands."

"Aren't you concerned about what we might do?" Immy asked with a frown, "You told us all of this- It's treason. Aren't you being too hasty? You do not know us, and I doubt you trust us either," she paused, her eyes staring deep at the old Dragon and Goddess before she spoke with a frown, "What is it that you want exactly?"

The mood turned tense as Ynos, Sidus, and even Essie began to gather mana around them. A suit of armor materialized on Breta as she edged closer to us. My eyes scanned the surroundings as I tried to locate a weak point that I could exploit to seize control over the Cosmic mana in case things went south.

Yrvai harrumphed and rolled his eyes, "See what I said. This is the problem with children."

"B-Brother," Essie whispered by my side.

"Enough, stand down," I said as I turned to my siblings and Breta.

"Huh? But brother-" Ynos wanted to complain, but I glared at him and replied, "I said, stand down."

Immy and Sidus wore expressions of doubt, their eyes flitting back and forth between me, the enigmatic Goddess, and the ancient Dragon. Breta let out a long sigh, and in a dazzling display, her armor dissolved into a burst of light.

"Oh, at least one of them has brains," said Yrvai.

"You can't blame us for being on the edge," I replied, "You simply showed us some old drawings in a cave and now expect us to believe that the King is our enemy."

Sidus and Immy nodded by my side.

"Child, if we wished you harm, you wouldn't have been able to step foot in this hall," Qhalta said.

"We weren't the ones that brought you here. Your mana did," Yrvai added.

He motioned to Sidus and Immy and said, "They may not feel it as strongly as you do. But you, you are already one with the mana. You don't need to believe us, but believe in the mana that dwells inside you."

Qhalta suddenly clapped her hands and spoke, "Alright, we understand that all of this is too much to take in. So for now, please go and get some rest first, clear your mind and we shall talk about this later. How about that?"

I turned to look at Breta and my siblings. They all nodded in agreement, so I replied, "That would be for the best, thank you."

"Great, in that case, we shall see you soon," she answered with a smile.

Before we could add anything, the Cosmic mana in our surroundings surged toward us like a tide. We barely had a second to react before we got teleported out of the temple.

Zephyrion was still waiting for us outside, but Lost was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing us appear, he nodded, "If you would be so kind as to follow me, I will guide you to your lodgings."

"Please do," I answered on behalf of everyone.

The masked deity jumped into the air, and we all silently followed after him.

We flew above the city, passing by occasional Dragon and Deity before Zephyrion guided us toward a peculiar tall tower not too far from the temple.

Following him, we landed on the open roof before he spoke, "The inside is bigger than it looks with the help of Cosmic mana. Please make yourselves comfortable, and once again, welcome to Fas," he said with a respectful nod.

"Thank you," I answered absentmindedly as I sensed the Cosmic mana in our surroundings.

Zephyrion then jumped once more into the sky and turned into a streak of white that disappeared in the distance.

"Now what?" Immy asked.

I sighed, "Let's see what this is all about first," I said and made my way toward the impressive door shimmering with Cosmic energy.

The others followed behind me. The second I approached the door, it automatically opened with a loud creak.

I didn't feel any ominous presence, and the mana remained silent, offering no warnings. The atmosphere here felt distinct from the temple. I was confident that I could take control of the power of the Cosmic mana in this place.

And so I took the first step with the others right behind me.

The world changed, but It didn't feel like we teleported. No, we were still in the tower. The only strange thing, however, was the inside. The ceilings were too tall, enough to accommodate all of us comfortably.

The room had paintings of Dragons and even Gods. What looked like large sofas, were placed all over. In the middle was a table with a map of what I assumed was Fas.

Before I could say anything, Ynos turned into a blur and rushed toward one of the massive sofas, his large body dropping heavily on it, causing me to wince in fear of it breaking. Surprisingly, however, It didn't.

"Wow, this is amazing!" He exclaimed.

Essie eyed everything in curiosity, her eyes sparkling as she rushed after him, jumping on top of another sofa.

"Wow! It's so soft!" She said as she began rolling around.

Breta shook her head, she then made her way to a chair in the corner and sat down with a soft thud, leaning her head back and closing her eyes with a sigh.

"Brother," Immy looked at me from the side.

Sidus's expression was just as grave as hers.

"I know," I replied, my eyes glancing at Essie happily jumping around.

"Do you think they are telling us the truth?" Sidus asked.

"I'm not sure, but If they wanted to deal with us, It would have been a lot easier doing it when we were in that temple," I answered.

"I-I don't understand. We're talking about the King!" Immy added with a whisper, her voice trembling with anxiety.

"That's what makes this entire thing all the more dangerous," I replied.

"We should rest first, then we'll think things through," Sidus answered.

I nodded in acknowledgment. Things were about to get a lot more hectic It seemed.
