Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 262 The Golden Forest Era Begins

Under Agred's rule, the two planets developed rapidly through trade and communication, quickly reaching the level of interstellar travel civilization. Thus, the Age of Exploration began. Agred's warriors boarded spaceships and began to teleport and warp to habitable planets based on the coordinates of civilizations located by spirit particles, destroying these civilizations and colonizing them. The sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Myriad Races gradually expanded, and in just thirty years, it occupied hundreds of star systems. In order to facilitate the search for habitable planets and lands, Agred boldly created a new top-level detection device called "Divine Child".

The Divine Child was created by Agred using a small amount of his divine power. However, due to its small size and relatively simple function, the Divine Child consumes far less energy than the Spirit Child. Therefore, even though Agred only infused it with a very small amount of divine power, the Divine Child could still be used for millions of years. The Divine Child is a pure detection device that can travel throughout the entire universe and mark all civilizations and habitable planets in a very short time at a speed far exceeding the limits of physical laws. Agred invented it in order to grasp the entire universe in the palm of his hand as quickly as possible.

With the assistance of the divine child, the Kingdom of Myriad Races quickly identified all habitable star systems and civilizations. In the first thousand years since its founding, the Kingdom of Myriad Races completely dominated this universe.

From that time onward, the multiverse entered a new era, known as the 'Age of the Golden Forest'.

Unfortunately, a single universe was far from satisfying Agreed's appetite. After that, Agreed created countless divine children who traveled throughout the multiverse. However, Agreed did not act rashly. He was waiting for an opportunity because he knew that the divine power of the gods all came from believers in the multiverse, and his actions would definitely arouse their vigilance.

However, just as Agreed continued to plan for the future, a group of uninvited guests arrived in Mussurida in great force—the ancient dragons of this universe! After thousands of years, they finally arrived in Mussurida, following the will of their creator, the platinum dragon god 'Bahamut,' to destroy the evil dragon that had caused their father god so much suffering.

Unfortunately, they arrived too late, and Musurida was no longer someone these abominations could afford to offend.

The War Wolf God 'Warwick', the Undead God 'Anubis', the Bloodhoof War God 'Minotaur', the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus 'Tiga', the strongest of the White Dragon Clan 'Jerok', the current strongest of the Black Dragon Clan 'Bresda', the Psionic Master 'Tarog', the Three-Headed Dragon 'Otto', the Blood Ancestors 'Lester' and 'Brecher', the Orc Sword Saint 'Kasa', the Four-Armed Troll 'Pukin', the Hundred-Headed Monster Dragon 'Radon', the Dog-Headed Priest 'Blitzcrank', and the Gnoll leader 'Purple Wolf Titan' 'Yorick' have all grown into beings at least at the demigod level.

Warwick, Anubis, Minotaur, and Tiga have all grown into beings capable of contending with lower-level gods. Therefore, Agreed did not take action this time, but instead sent his top combat power to deal with the ancient dragons who had not yet attained godhood.

This great battle in the astral plane was unprecedentedly brutal. Warwick tore apart the strongest ancient golden dragon with his bare hands, while the melee warriors such as the Minotaur, Tiga, and Bresta ruthlessly beat those poor ancient dragons to death. In comparison, the magic-based warriors such as Jerok, Tarog, and Lester were much more merciful, simply blasting those ancient dragons into pieces, making their deaths very quick.

What? You're asking me where the battle was so brutal? Weren't the Ancient Dragons horribly killed? You really should come and see for yourself. Not a single intact corpse remained. They died a truly gruesome death. If you still think the Ancient Dragons could hold their own against Agreed's subordinates, I advise you to abandon that illusion. Agreed's enemies have always been only gods. These mere Ancient Dragons are nothing. Given Agreed's ambitions, even the ordinary soldiers who will later venture into the World Tree will be beings capable of going toe-to-toe with these Ancient Dragons.

Later, Anubis collected the corpses of the ancient dragons and created a group of powerful ghost dragons with demigod-level strength.

To Agreed's utter surprise, the ancient dragons of the five chromatic dragons also arrived. It seemed that Tiamat, after more than a thousand years of recuperation, had finally recovered. The vengeful Tiamat began to seek revenge on Agreed. Of course, Tiamat did not recognize Agreed at first as the undead duke who had killed him years ago. She sent the ancient dragons here mainly to avenge the five chromatic dragons that Agreed had killed.

Of course, the outcome was predictable: those ancient dragons were once again defeated, and Agreed gained another batch of ghost dragons for free. After that, Tiamat, unsurprisingly, was once again blinded by rage and didn't even notice that Agreed and the people around him looked somewhat familiar. She directly descended again with her clone to Mussurida to demand an explanation from Agreed, and then Agreed used the Renaissance technique to send her back to hell once more.

After all these troubles were temporarily resolved, Agred's power finally paused its expansion and began to develop steadily.

Two thousand years later, Agreed accompanied Hea on her journey through all the planets of the universe, experiencing the different colors of life. Unfortunately, even the most beautiful stories must come to an end. In a beautiful little house in Mussurida, a beautiful but pale-faced elven woman lay in Agreed's arms. Her breath was extremely weak, but she still nestled happily in her lover's embrace.

Agreed looked forlornly at his beloved in his arms. Theoretically speaking, the maximum lifespan of an elf is three thousand years. Although Agreed had been helping Heya to improve her body over the years, the decline of her soul was inevitable. Heya's talent for cultivation was not very good, and her soul could not resist the erosion of the river of time, causing her to gradually age. Now she had reached the end of her life.

Heya was well aware of her physical condition, but she was not afraid of death. In fact, she had no regrets about her life. Moreover, most elves could not live for more than a thousand years, and she was already very fortunate to be three thousand years old.

“I…I’m leaving. You have to live well on your own. If it’s really not good, you can find someone to keep you company.” Heya broke the silence between the two and said.

Agreed shook his head and whispered, "I don't need anyone else besides you. I'm sorry, I'm still as useless as before, I can't save you... I'm sorry."

Heya turned around and stroked Agreed's face, gently comforting him, "It's alright, it's just that I'm weak. I know you don't want me to suffer the burning pain of the undead's soul fire, and you understand that I don't want to rely on witchcraft to plunder life and eke out a living like a monster. My soul is decaying, I can feel it. I'm sorry, I... can't stay with you anymore."

Agreed took Haya's hand and confessed as he had done years before: "I love you, Haya. Thank you for accepting me."

“I love you too, Agreed, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to enter your life.”

The two embraced and kissed, losing themselves in the moment, as if nothing else mattered.
