I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 399 God’s Will to Survive

"The Earth Mother Goddess..." Ganon thought to himself as he thought about it.

He recalled some details that he had always cared about. The Endless Tower was broken from the sixth floor, which was the floor of the Temple of the Earth Mother.

When Isabel served as a priest and made the temple of the Earth Mother run, he once heard a strange voice - a traitor.

I don’t know who left that voice and how, but if, as Baphomet said, it was the Mother Goddess who betrayed the oath of the gods to cooperate to seal the disaster and caused the rupture of the Endless Tower, then this voice The target of the accusation is at least located.

The fake Baphomet acted as a druid, and the mutations she and the Blue Dragon King spread, whether it was the bloody plague or the purple dragons that proliferated and grew rapidly, were all transformations of the body, which were basically on the ground. Within the scope of the power of the Mother Goddess.

If the thing at the bottom of the pit is the Earth Mother Goddess herself, it would make sense that the hidden blessing would be seen through. Back then, he himself had used the ability of life perception to target Ursula who was trying to escape using the invisibility technique. With the perception of the Earth Mother Goddess, it was natural for him to find him.

There is also the curse placed on Baphomet, which prevents her from using the tower's rebirth function to reorganize her body. She can only let her soul reside in the tower itself and control the golems that are one with the tower. The Earth Mother Goddess is the controller of life, so it is not surprising that she can completely confiscate Baphomet's life form.

"When you say that, it seems that there are indeed many things connected." Ganouen nodded.

When Baphomet gave such a conjecture, everything seemed to make sense.

But this also means that the mastermind hiding behind the Blue Dragon King, who caused the Endless Tower to break and was plotting to do something to the Endless Tower, was a powerful master god.

Princess Patriz looked a little at a loss on the side. She wanted to open her mouth to say something several times, but stopped thinking.

But when she heard that Ganon began to agree with this statement, she couldn't help but speak: "I can't understand why this matter is locked on the goddess of life...the mother goddess of earth? She is the most loving among the gods. She is a woman who, in the conflicts between the ancient gods, tried her best to protect the creatures on the earth more than once, including humans, dwarves, elves and even thousands of creatures. Many legends have been verified. "

She still knows a little about the Endless Tower. According to the legends passed down from the elves in the Winter Empire era, the Endless Tower was built by the gods who selected strong men of various races, and then they indeed encountered someone. Broken by accident.

But the culprit of this matter is the goddess of life she believes in, which is still difficult for her to accept. As the only legendary arch druid in the world, she has naturally always been a loyal believer of the goddess of life, the mother goddess of the earth.

"I know this is difficult for you to accept, and I can understand how you feel...because I was once a Druid, and I was the chosen spokesperson of the Earth Mother." Baphomet said seriously.

"Have you recovered this part of your memory?" Ganon asked.

"No, it's just a concatenation of some fragments. This is my speculation, but I believe it is true. Because, I remembered the fragments of the Earth Mother Goddess directly talking to me." Baphomet replied, "That conversation The fragments have always existed in my memory, and I have never connected them until now. The Earth Mother deceived me, and also deceived other gods. She asked me to temporarily hand over my body, and then used it to break through the seal."

"But how could the Earth Mother God...didn't she always regard the creatures in the world as her children? She is the god who protects us the most." Patriz still couldn't accept it.

"It is true that motherhood exists in the root godhead of the Earth Mother God. Most of the creatures that exist in the world today are the works of the Earth Mother God's continuous creation and evolution. Only a small part are created by other gods imitating her creations. She has a maternal instinct for her creations, and she has always been the guardian of living creatures in the past conflicts between the gods for power," Baphomet said.

"Then how could she betray the agreement of the gods to prevent disaster?" Ganon was also a little confused. "Because her root godhead is not only motherhood, but also the dominant godhead of survival of the fittest, and the will to survive as the origin of all living things - it can be said that she is the most powerful will to survive among the several main gods. To put it another way..." Baphomet said.

"She is most afraid of death." Ganon continued.

"And when it comes to survival, she won't mind sacrificing other creatures. Isn't this how the rules of creatures she created evolved?" Baphomet asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, Ganon already understood.

The three blessings of the Earth Mother Goddess, domination, reproduction and rebirth, respectively correspond to the three characteristics of her root godhead: the rule of survival of the fittest, the maternal nature that tolerates and breeds creation, and the will to survive.

The creatures she created also work in the same way, the weak eat the strong, pursue reproduction, and also have survival instincts.

When the gods formed a contract and sacrificed themselves to seal the disaster, the will to survive at the root of the divinity made the Earth Mother God give up self-sacrifice, which eventually led to the rupture of the Endless Tower, which was the key to the seal, and the Earth Mother God herself was also destroyed for some reason. Due to these influences, it became like that.

"You know the Earth Mother very well." Ganon said as he looked at Baphomet.

"Since I have the memory of having a direct conversation with her, it means that I was the one who served her. I should have been the priest of the Temple of the Earth Mother at that time. My understanding of her has always been in my memory, but I have never recalled it before. She is a prisoner, and now this is just a complete conclusion from the conclusion," Baphomet said.

"But weren't you the tower master of the Endless Tower at that time?" Ganon had another question.

Baphomet shook his head slightly: "I don't have much memory of this, but it's actually easy to guess. At that time, the gods would definitely select their best spokespersons to serve as priests of the Endless Tower Temple, since these priests are already their The most preferred candidate for the Tower Master..."

"You can only choose one from these seven people." Ganon nodded lightly.

The biggest reason why he is independent from other priest tower owners is because he is a giant dragon without a god-given profession.

The first tower owner of the Endless Tower was a humanoid race and was also the agent of the gods. This tower owner must have had his own profession and was a believer of a certain god. It is common sense to speculate that this person is one of the priests. There is a high possibility that a member of staff can take on a part-time role.

Although it is not yet known whether the situation at that time relied on rotation, some kind of voting, or whether one was selected based on popularity, character or ability as a criterion, or it might even be a random drawing like the high and low positions in the temple of the gods, but One fact is basically certain - when the Endless Tower fractured, Baphomet, as the priest of the Earth Mother, was serving as the tower master.

"Your Highness Patriz, the enemy we have to face is a powerful main god, and the disaster that she gave up to seal. If we don't repair the Endless Tower, we may not be able to compete with that god, and we will not be able to avoid it. This world has been swept by disaster." Baphomet looked at Patriz with a stern expression and said in a sincere tone, "This request may be a bit too much for you. I ask you to give the divinity in the Crown of Rebirth, Return the divine seal to the Endless Tower!"
