499 Side Chapter: Nyzzets Thoughts (1/2)

In a Divine Realm covered in thunderstorms and long peaks, a large dragon rested, a giant thunder dragon with twelve golden eyes, purple and gold scales, long yellow jewel horns, and two pairs of wings, his size being around sixty meters.

”Hm… When will I get in contact? It has been… two days already” he said.

This imposing dragon was the Dragon God of Thunder, Nyzzet. He was once part of the original pantheon of dragon gods created by Tiamat, the Great Dragoness Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood before leaving the Realm of Vida.

However, due to various circumstances, like not sharing the same beliefs as his brothers, he decided to leave on his own accord.

Nyzzet was not an evil dragon god, but he did not want to help the human gods of the central continent either.

He just wanted to protect his children, the Thunder Dragonoid, half-human and half Thunder Dragon demi-humans that had outstanding potential and once had a large civilization in the Vast Plains. However, due to the schemes of Demon Gods, his children were almost stolen by them.

Due to this, he decided to raise his children inside his Divine Realm, seemingly making it seem as if the Thunder Dragonoid civilization disappeared from the Vast Plains, only leaving the ruins of their buildings and the dungeon he created to nourish them.

Making sure to nourish his children while multiplying them, he gained a large amount of worship from them and was capable of maintaining himself through them. He both loved them dearly and also needed their support.

His dungeon was, several years later discovered by Athetosean Humans and Human Nomads, who made a large town surrounding it and constantly sent parties of adventurers to explore its depths.

Nyzzet had designed a large dungeon that randomly sent its visitors to different floors and biomes, as he liked his dungeon to serve as trials to strong warriors. Randomly throwing them into different and unexpected trials was his style.

There were many different biomes as well as bosses, and although his children could not visit his dungeon anymore, the humans and demi-humans that lived around it did so.

As the world kept developing, he lived in peace inside his Divine Realm. Nyzzet didn't desire wars either to seek strength desperately…

But recently, Wandering Lone Gods had become more aggressive and bloodthirsty and using strange means, they began to team up and attack other Lone Gods Divine Realms… Supposedly, a certain Lone God was moving the strings, with an ability capable of breaking through space and open a portal to Divine Realms.

Many of the Lone Gods Nyzzet once had contact with perished this way. They were peacefully living in their Divine Realms until invaders from the outside broke in, stealing his divine materials, mortal children, and then their lives.

Until he got to know about a strange pantheon that was being built… around a mortal.

This pantheon was exceedingly strange, as it held many gods from different origins, but all of them worked together to help this mortal.

The mortal was Kireina, the one who stole a dungeon from Omgramid, the God of Sand and Earth, that killed and ate a sealed the Demon Demigod Megusan… and that had recently begun her attack against Geggoron.

In all this time, she also damaged The Vampire Goddess of Blood, Agatheina, and helped many Beast Demigods.

Although many of the central continent gods talked about how atrocious Kireina's behavior was, Nyzzet could not help but see security below her command. She not only successfully helped many gods but also gained their trust. Both Gods and she protected each other.

And she was also extremely dangerous, possessing the ability to kill gods despite being a mortal and to obtain part of their powers. She was a fearsome opponent and even the gods in the central continent feared her to an extent.

Nyzzet kept seeing as more gods joined her… and how she accepted them all in her pantheon.

If he wanted the protection of Kireina and these strong gods, he had to join her party.

But coming out of nowhere was not his style…

Until he realized that some of her acquaintances and servants were exploring his dungeon.

He quickly devised some strategies and trials and made them quickly fight the last boss.

After some days, they managed to do so, and then he decided to contact the two strongest warriors within that party, Wagyu and Kekensha.

He was surprised at first, as they were monsters and not demi-humans… but they were surprisingly intelligent and brave.

He gave them the last trial before trusting them, making them fight against the Secret Boss, which they defeated rather easily.

Finally recognizing their strength, Nyzzet blessed the two, despite not having an affinity with the two wolves at all, he was still capable of blessing them… and by blessing them, he also acquired a connection with them and Kireina, who had blessed them beforehand.

”A mortal that can bless?” he wondered.

Then, he decided to ask the wolves for a meeting with their Master, but it seemed that she was in a hurry fighting Geggoron and needed strong warriors.

He decided to lend them hand, teleporting the whole party to the surface, as long as they promised to tell Kireina about him.

And now, two days have passed since then… Not much at all, especially for dragon gods who slept for centuries sometimes.

Nyzzet quickly got some news about Geggoron being defeated by Kireina and then presumably eaten by her.

A chill ran through his spine. He would not want to be in that unlucky guy's shoes.

”Hopefully… she doesn't think of me as an opportunist… though I am” thought Nyzzet.

As he sighed while sleeping atop thunderclouds, a sudden message popped up on his shop located in the special space of the 'Interdimensional Merchant Shop' Skill.

”Hm? Aga… theina? Agatheina!���

Nyzzet knew that Agatheina, after being practically face-slapped by Kireina, became one of her most loyal and fervent servants.

If he were to be contacted by her, it most likely meant that he would have the opportunity to talk with Kireina as well.

He quickly received Agatheina's message and contacted her through the small 'will' that she left on it.

Wills was an extension of someone's mind. Gods created a will by expending a small amount of Divine Energy, and such wills could be used for a variety of purposes, such as helping the conjure spells and techniques, to talk far away, to contact mortals, and more.

They were something similar to Kireina's Split Minds, but less independent.
