Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 105 - 104: Miracle, Dragon God? Center of Attention

Chapter 105: Chapter 104: Miracle, Dragon God? Center of Attention

"Why would humans be together with Demon Beasts?"

"Traitors! Traitors to the Human Race!!!"

"..."

At this moment, the Mercenaries and even the three Knight’s Squires surrounding the young noblewoman were all thinking the same thing.

However, the shock and confusion of the captives was nothing compared to what York and his ten Knights were feeling.

’How can there be so many humans here?’

’What in the world is His Majesty planning to do?’

York suppressed the shock and confusion in his heart. As for his Knight’s Squires, with the exception of Paul and two others who firmly believed York would not betray the Human Race, the rest were so ashamed by the crowd’s stares they didn’t know where to look.

This sense of shame, as if they had betrayed all of humanity, made the young men squirm with an unbearable guilt.

They didn’t even dare to meet the angry, confused, and shocked gazes of the people now gathered in the Underground Space.

However, even in this situation, a glimmer of hope remained in their hearts.

They were soldiers York had brought from his own family, men who had been personally selected by their Lord to become Knight’s Squires.

Some of their families had even served the Smith family for generations. They had every reason to believe their Lord would never betray the Human Race.

’This situation must be something we just can’t comprehend,’ they thought. ’Our Lord will surely explain everything afterward.’

’Besides, these humans aren’t dead, are they?’

’It’s even possible that the great Space God rescued them from the Beast Tide.’

This line of thought brought them a small measure of peace.

And so, guarding their Lord, the Knight’s Squires stared straight ahead, following the Earth Bear step by step toward the high platform in the Underground Space where the Rock Steel Giant Dragon stood.

Just then, a large number of Middle Tier Demon Beasts appeared behind them!

Over one hundred and fifty of them!

This sight plunged the humans in the Underground Space into even deeper despair.

But what could they do?

Life? Or death?

Perhaps their fate now depended on the Giant Dragon’s next move.

The crowd was deathly silent. The entire Underground Space was eerily quiet.

Even the arriving Demon Beasts maintained absolute silence.

And on the high platform, the Giant Dragon surveyed it all with unparalleled majesty.

However, amidst this oppressive and solemn atmosphere, a clear voice suddenly rang throughout the space!

It was a young woman who had abruptly summoned her courage, her hopeful gaze fixed as she rose from the crowd.

"Lord Viscount!"

"Lord Viscount York!"

"I... I am Reela, the second daughter of the Philip Family! We’ve met before! Do you still recognize me?"

In that instant, everyone’s gaze turned to the young woman.

Including the Giant Dragon, the Earth Bear, and the other Demon Beasts!

Even the captives stared in astonishment at the girl who had just stood up.

The young woman threw back her tattered, filthy cloak, revealing a delicate face and a head of smooth, grey hair.

However, it wasn’t York’s response that greeted her.

It was the furious roar of several nearby Low Tier Demon Beasts!!!

The Low Tier Demon Beasts felt that the Rock Steel Giant Dragon’s authority had been challenged!

One of them, a Flying Demon Beast, charged straight for the young woman!

Seeing this, York’s heart skipped a beat!

He had only one thought!

’How did the Count’s second daughter get captured and brought here?’

’And why is she so foolish? Is this really the time to be speaking?’

’Since His Majesty hasn’t killed anyone and has gathered you all here, it’s obvious he doesn’t intend to kill you, right? Can’t you see that?’

’How is this any different from seeking death?’

’This is the very definition of being disrespectful before a deity, of offending a god!’

’In the past, in the Human Church, this would have been a grave sin!’

Then again, York knew this was inside information he only possessed because he was aware of His Majesty’s true identity.

’This young woman doesn’t know anything, and she’s young, after all. It’s not entirely her fault for making such a basic mistake.’

But as he saw the Flying Demon Beast charge forward, an expression of conflict still appeared on York’s face.

But a moment later, a dragon’s roar echoed!

Suddenly, the Flying Demon Beast froze. It swiftly retracted its claws, which grazed past the noble girl’s face!

In that instant, the noble girl’s face went completely pale, and she stood frozen in shock.

The next moment, she collapsed.

This was merely an interlude.

Lince paid it no mind, nor did the Earth Bear and the other Demon Beasts.

Killing a weak human or not wouldn’t affect the grand scheme of things.

But Lince was thinking about something else. ’The Count’s second daughter?’

Lince had just been thinking that York’s choice of lovers was subpar. And now, a gift package had arrived.

’Not bad. Her Bloodline must be good, too. Once we’re in the second world, I’ll have York take her as a lover. Isn’t that much better than him finding some common woman?’

’Her greatest value is in bearing a few talented heirs with good Bloodlines.’

’What a waste it would be to kill her!’

’Who would’ve thought the Demon Beasts would capture such a treasure?’

Lince was quite surprised and even a little delighted.

The look he gave York was akin to that of a doting father who had put a lot of thought into his son’s future.

’You young man, you need to work hard and make some babies!’

But that was a matter for another time.

At this moment, as the last of the Demon Beasts flooded into the area below the high platform in the Underground Space...

The Rock Steel Giant Dragon moved!

And so, under the watchful eyes of the numerous Demon Beasts and the gaze of the deathly silent crowd...

The Rock Steel Giant Dragon turned around.

The next moment, behind the Rock Steel Giant Dragon, a large section of rock and steel melted away, revealing a massive, seven-colored halo of light.

The rainbow-hued halo seemed to be embedded in the wall.

Its diameter exceeded twenty-five meters!

Its brilliant, flowing light illuminated the entire Underground Space, even making the Rock Steel Giant Dragon standing before it appear incredibly sacred!

The Earth Bear’s expression was ecstatic!

Staring at the holy halo and the Giant Dragon, it finally couldn’t help but roar.

"Finally!!! The day has finally come!"

"The hope of Old Master Amos and all of us Dragon Species has appeared!!! As I thought, Nidhogg, you are truly the one blessed by the Dragon God’s Divine Favor! You are the son of hope for all Dragon Species!"

"No, perhaps now, I, Phemos, should address you as Your Highness!"

"O great and noble Son of the Dragon God!"

The Earth Bear, Phemos, sent this message to Lince telepathically. At the same time, its body, which had been standing upright, prostrated itself before Lince for the first time.

Its proud status as a Tier Eight beast was no longer a reason for arrogance.

Having confirmed everything, it finally lowered its proud head and knelt deeply before the Rock Steel Giant Dragon.

Although the other Middle-High Tier Demon Beasts didn’t know what the Earth Bear had said...

...upon hearing its roar and seeing it suddenly prostrate itself before the Giant Dragon on the platform, all the Demon Beasts began to roar in unison.

They all bowed down to the Rock Steel Giant Dragon, submitting to Lince just as they had submitted to the Mountain Range Sub-dragon, Amos.

"What in the world is that?!"

"A Space Gate? A Teleportation Array?"

York had never seen such a portal, but some Teleportation Gates in ancient records were said to look like this.

’There are some differences, but it should be more or less the same, right?’

Seeing the Demon Beasts roaring and submitting, York naturally led his Knight’s Squires in kneeling on one knee as well.

As for the crowd of captives...

"By the Deities!"

"What is that thing? A Teleportation Array?"

"It must be! But hasn’t the knowledge to create them been lost? The continent’s Space Magic Crystal Ore was mined out in ancient times! None of the Races can build a Teleportation Array anymore, so why is there one here?"

"Could this be an ancient ruin? Was there a Teleportation Array here all along?"

"Or... is it because of this Giant Dragon?"

The knowledgeable noblewoman recognized the Teleportation Array. Having survived the earlier ordeal, her face was pale as she mumbled in disbelief.

At the same time, seeing the Demon Beasts kneeling before the Giant Dragon, the surrounding captives, desperate to survive and not provoke the beasts, hastily followed suit.

Some of the bolder and more educated Commoners even began to shout!

"A deity!!! A Dragon God!!!"

"He must have come to save us!"

"A Miracle!!! This has to be a Miracle!!!"

"The Giant Dragons were the Overlords of ancient times, and legends say they treated all Races equally! The only reason we’re still alive after the Beast Tide is because of the efforts of His Majesty the Giant Dragon, who discovered this Miracle, to save us!"

"Otherwise, how could he command the loyalty of both Demon Beasts and the Lord Knights! And just now, His great, noble, and merciful Majesty didn’t even execute the noblewoman who offended him!"

"If this isn’t a Miracle, what is?! Quick!!! Everyone, praise His great Majesty! Don’t be disrespectful!!!"

Where one started, others followed.

Masses of ignorant Commoners and slaves, desperate to live, began to kowtow to the Giant Dragon, their fervor even surpassing that of the Demon Beasts.

This made some of the Demon Beasts exchange uncertain glances with one another as they looked at the human captives.

As for the Earth Bear, he glanced sideways at the humans behind him and simply shook his head in disdain.

’The Human Race is certainly not lacking in ignorant and amusing individuals...’

Lince hadn’t anticipated this scene either.

’But I suppose it’s to be expected!’

He remained outwardly unfazed and proceeded to expand his Gate of Truth once more.

Upon advancing from Tier Five to Tier Six, the permissions for the Gate of Truth granted by the Book of Truth had been further expanded by the game!

Currently, the maximum diameter of the Gate of Truth could be expanded to fifty meters.

And what Lince needed to do now was expand it even further.

After all, he had to ensure that more of the large, High Tier beasts could pass through this portal later on.

Even the Mountain Giant Dragon could pass through.

As for the Tier Nine Crimson, with this expanded diameter, her slender, two-hundred-meter-long body should be able to pass through as long as she folded her wings.

’It just depends on whether she decides to come later!’

And so, with a thought from Lince, a familiar message appeared in his mind.

[Player has confirmed permissions. Expanding the Gate of Truth!]

[After expansion, the diameter of the Gate of Truth will be fifty meters. Please be advised.]

As the message flashed through Lince’s mind...

...the next instant, before the eyes of the many Demon Beasts and humans...

...another effect, no less than a Miracle, erupted!

The seven-colored Gate of Truth suddenly radiated an immense amount of light once more.

The light enveloped the entire Underground Space, as if wrapping it in a sacred, rainbow-hued luminescence.

Every living being was captivated and awestruck by the scene before them.

And amidst this shock, the ring of flowing light that was the Gate of Truth began to slowly expand outward again.

Finally, within the span of two or three breaths, the transformation was complete.

At this point, not a single Demon Beast doubted Lince’s identity, and even the humans no longer doubted the idea that the Giant Dragon was a god.

Finally, with another dragon’s roar!

The Rock Steel Giant Dragon, watched by countless living beings, was the first to step into the Gate of Truth.

Afterward, the Earth Bear let out a roar, and the ecstatic Middle-High Tier Demon Beasts followed it, plunging into the other world!

As for the human captives, they would be herded in last by the Low Tier Demon Beasts that remained behind.
