Reincarnated as a World

Ch.290 Aura

‘This creature…’ Zero felt the urge to roll his eyes for the first time in many years, not that it would be detectable considering their new all black design, but still. Zuko’s constantly changing actions were exasperating.

Nevertheless, he could not deny that he was interested in who this ‘sister’ was. Was she an Apostle as well? He knew that there were at least 6 Apostles since one of his titles was ‘The 6th Apostle of the Moon’, but he didn’t know more than that. He didn’t know who they were or even where they were.

“Who are you…” He was going to ask who Zuko was referring to, but then he began to feel a familiar sensation.

It was the Laws of the Moon, coming from the direction of the silver cloud that was very close to arriving. In fact, it could no longer be called a silver cloud anymore because it was close enough that its identity as a swarm of silver-coloured wasps was fully exposed.

However, before Zero could try to lock on just which one of them was the one with the Moon Laws, a heart stopping roar erupted from the sky.

“ROAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!”

Zero’s head snapped to its direction and saw the brilliant sight of a huge purple 4-legged Dragon roaring majestically as if to announce its arrival, however, he only admired the sight of the metallic-looking Beast for a little while before an even greater attraction not too far away caught his attention.

It was a golden Dragon that was even bigger than the purple one. It swooped down with perfect and immaculate flying grace that he knew he could not match, and although it didn’t make a menacing face, Zero could not help but feel that he was terribly outclassed.

Just the unprecedented aura and demeanour were enough to show everyone the difference between that entity and everybody else. And they were found wanting.

Normally, the thing referred to as ‘aura’ was usually a radiation of Mana released from the body. Most of the time it wasn’t visible, but with a small bit of effort it could be.

When it was visible it would usually look like a vapious coloured shroud that enveloped the body, with the colour being based on the primary Elemental Affinity of the user. The more power being used to show the aura, the bigger the size of the aura and the more potent the oppression it had on others. Another thing that affected aura was how intune you were with your Element. If your comprehension and affinity was high, the aura would directly resemble the element instead of being just a vapious shroud. A good example of this was the golden flames that would cover Chad whenever he released his aura.

However, no matter how much power was put into the aura or how special the elemental affinity imprinted into it was, the aura would always give off the impression of ‘Mana’, which was Magical Energy from the atmosphere that had been refined many times within the body. Although potent things like Laws or even smaller things like emotions could muddy things a little, it would never not feel like Mana.

But the aura that the golden dragon was radiating… did not feel like Mana.

This just had to be the so-called goddess who wielded divine powers. Was the aura he was sensing powered by diving energy then? Was this the power of a god?

Someone nudged him in the shoulder. “She’s pretty amazing right? That’s Gaia from the Fortissimum Continent. She’s said to be the goddess of creation who had been betrayed and almost killed. Now, she’s making her way back up and slowly reclaiming her divinity with the help of her followers who call themselves the Divine Syndicate of Genesis, or just Genesis Syndicate.”

Zero turned to glare at Zuko before taking a step back. When had the guy even gotten that close?

“But it’s kind of weird don’t you think? Someone with so much power fell to this extent but wasn’t finished off. Moreover, she’s climbing back up with mostly no competition. Shouldn’t the person who betrayed her be making moves to prevent her from making a comeback? I know I would. Anyways, impressive as she is, goddess or not, she can’t compare to the Moon Mother.”

Zero took in the words, but he didn’t have enough information to make a judgement, nor was he in the mood to think about something so potentially deep in this moment when there was so much going on. So he kept quiet. But he definitely agreed with the last statement. goddess or not, that dragon could not compare to the Moon. Nothing could.

Just then, another roar erupted from the sky but this one sounded a little different.

Zero looked up to see the other kind of Dragon.

He had long known that the Dragon race had 2 kinds. The first kind had wings, a tail, and sharp slightly curved horns, and the second kind of Dragon was described to have a longer but thinner snake-like body but with 4 legs and the same kind of dragon head. However, this kind of dragon didn’t have normal horns, instead they had something that looked like a mix between horns and antlers. The ‘branches’ didn’t spread out as much as a normal pair of antlers, but they were much sharper.

Looking now, he could indeed see that the descriptions were true. Even the fact that the second kind of dragon could fly without wings using the Wind Element was true. They were definitely flying and their speed wasn’t bad at all. Even the way their snake-like bodies wiggled through the air was pretty aesthetic.

But…

Why was the fiery-looking one (the strongest he reckoned going by its aura and positioning) looking at the purple dragon from the first kind with such an aggressive look? Weren’t they from the same race? Could the mutation of the second kind have caused a rift between them?

“ROAAAAARRRRRR!”

The Purple Dragon seemed to be affronted and roared once more. Which… ended up making the other group of Dragons roar back in fury, which… ended up making the first group of Dragons roar too, which ended up in…

…What just happened?

Were they seriously about to-

“Enough.” A calm but melodious voice boomed throughout the gathering, and Zero knew it had come from the golden dragon.

But then in the next moment, a loud SPLOOSH sound broke out once more as a dark, large, 3-eyed Snake began to emerge from the water.

Zero’s eyes widened with shock as he watched the colossal sized head keep rising up and up and up as it rose up from the water. What kind of cultivation could push someone to that size?! Could this gigantic snake be in the 5th Realm?!

And was it him or were all 3 of the Beast’s eyes looking directly at Pharaoh?
