Chapter 1128 - Difficult Choice (1/2)

“I didn’t expect to see you again, Your Majesty Rhode.”

Displayed on the mobile screen before Rhode, Arthur seemed rather calm. On the contrary, the other three Creator Dragons gazed at Rhode in surprise, but they weren’t flustered.

“I’m surprised, Mr. Arthur. I thought you guys would be shocked to see me.”

“I’m already stunned by the television news of Lydia and Erin showing up in this world…” Arthur said and forced a smile. Rhode nodded in response. Perhaps ordinary people weren’t aware of who Lydia and Erin were, but since the five Creator Dragons turned the Dragon Soul Continent into a game and made a copy of it, it wasn’t surprising that they knew everything about the characters inside. That was perhaps why they could recognize their true identities at a single glance. But shortly after, Arthur skimmed over the topic and got to the main point. “But I suppose there is something important for you to look for me, right?”

“That’s right.”

Upon hearing Arthur’s question, Rhode nodded and recounted the happenings to the Creator Dragons, including the Akashic Slates uncovered under the moon’s surface in the Americas Region and everything that happened. After hearing Rhode’s words, the Creator Dragons who maintained their calmness changed their expressions. Well, they couldn’t be blamed. Back then, Rhode’s younger sister also couldn’t take it easy when she witnessed the Akashic Slates, so how could the Creator Dragons be spared?

“I see… so that’s why… I was still thinking about why we came to this world back then… It seems like our powers sealed in the Akashic Slates came into effect… I see…”

Arthur knitted his brows and spoke with a pale expression. The other three Creator Dragons whispered in one another’s ear with solemn expressions. After a few moments, the four of them lifted their heads and looked at Rhode.

“So the Door of Akasha is in your hands now?”

“Yes, do you want to have it?”

“We?”

Upon hearing Rhode’s question, Arthur revealed a bitter smile and didn’t respond. Serena who sat beside him let out a subtle sigh and continued explaining. “Even though we really want to take back the Door of Akasha, it’s a pity that it doesn’t serve any purpose now. We said earlier that we left behind our dragon essence in the Dragon Soul Continent and stayed in this world for too long after incarnation, so we don’t have much powers left. Although we have more energy than ordinary humans, that is all to it. We don’t have powers like Lydia and Erin. After all, we’re only humans now…”

Serena came to a pause and let out a helpless sigh.

“Can’t you abstract power from machines like the Americas Region?”

“Even though I’m not too sure what specific method they used, I suppose they made use of its effects after triggering our dragon soul powers sealed in the Door of Akasha. The Door of Akasha has extraordinary powers that aren’t controllable by ordinary humans. If those humans use their powers to touch the origin of the Door of Akasha…”

Serena paused awkwardly and the pair of sisters beside her continued her words.

“… they will be destroyed by the massive power of the Door of Akasha completely. Not only the moon, but everything here including space will also be smashed.”

What in the world…

Rhode was bewildered. He didn’t expect the Door of Akasha to be this overbearing. But come to think of it, this thing was dug up and researched upon by those bast*rds for decades before he was even born… A shiver ran down his spine at this thought. It seemed to him that he was fortunate enough to not witness the world being destroyed thanks to the sealed powers of the five Creator Dragons. If not, perhaps this world would have already been done for due to those hasty idiots before he was even born.

Rhode was in lingering fear, but the thought of having the Door of Akasha in his hands put him at ease. He gazed at the other Creator Dragons and suddenly realized their odd expressions. Serena seemed to be rather hesitant, while Ningmi and Ningjing puckered their brows. Arthur was also in a strange silence. All of a sudden, this left Rhode in extreme anxiety. It wasn’t that he felt like they were plotting a conspiracy against him, but was more like he was about to face a tough decision. It was like an examinee who was about to enter a life-determining examination hall. Before one witnessed the examination paper, the thought of this day representing the direction of one’s future left one nervous and anxious.
