Chapter 479: Lucoa's Downfall
Even after spending countless years in this world, Ophis was still the same Ophis, the same innocent and simple-minded Infinite Dragon God.
Perhaps she felt that no one was worth her paying much attention to. Therefore, even when facing Hakuto, the master of this world, Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God, remained completely indifferent.
Hakuto didn’t answer Ophis. A magical beast appeared in his hand.
“A Sacred Gear created by the Biblical God?”
Looking at the magical beast in Hakuto’s hand, Ophis finally showed a look of surprise. Hakuto nodded in confirmation. “Yes. It’s a Longinus: Annihilation Maker.”
“And you can also create magical beasts that counter dragon species. You want to take revenge on the Great Red, don’t you? I agree to help you.”
Hearing that Hakuto was willing to help her take revenge on the Great Red, Ophis nodded. “You do have the potential to help me. So, what do you want? My snakes?”
“I need you to help me set up a barrier.”
“Is that all?”
Ophis tilted her head and looked at Hakuto with an adorable expression. But Hakuto would never underestimate this small Infinite Dragon God before him.
Although Ophis was very simple-minded, her strength was certainly not simple. If she could become the number two strongest being in a world like High School DxD, then even more so in this world!
So Hakuto had never thought of doing anything out of line to Ophis.
He would help her deal with the Great Red, and she would help him set up the Nine Provinces Barrier—a win-win situation.
As for when they would go deal with the Great Red, that would depend on when Ophis could find her way back. After all, if Ophis couldn’t find her way back, what could Hakuto possibly do about it?
“Alright, as long as you help me set up the Nine Provinces Barrier.”
“Okay. But you need to tell me how to do it.”
Hakuto nodded, then took out the Anywhere Door and brought Ophis back home. He found Lucoa lying on the sofa playing games on her phone. “Fat dragon, get up. I need to talk to you.”
Looking at Lucoa, Hakuto had black lines on his forehead.
Lucoa turned her head. The next moment, her pupils contracted. Looking at Ophis beside Hakuto, a look of intense vigilance appeared in her eyes!
But she quickly relaxed. Looking at Ophis a smile appeared on her face. “Hello, I’m Lucoa. Of course, you can also call me Quetzalcoatl.”
Ophis looked at Lucoa, nodded, and then said, “You can call me Ophis.”
“Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God?”
Upon hearing the name Ophis, Sona’s face showed a look of surprise, and then she looked at Ophis in disbelief. Ophis looked at Sona and then seemed somewhat surprised. “A Devil?”
She didn’t seem to have expected to see a Devil in this world. Ophis was somewhat surprised.
“Yes, Lord Infinite Dragon God. Sona of the Sitri Family offers you sincere greetings.”
Ophis looked at Sona and then asked, “Do you know how to go back?”
Sona thought to herself, ‘I was about to ask you if you knew how to go back, but you actually ask me first!’
After a silent complaint in her heart, Sona shook her head regretfully. “I’m very sorry, I don’t know how to go back. I was actually going to ask you, Lord Ophis, if you know the way back.”
Ophis wasn’t disappointed either. She answered plainly, “I don’t know the way back.”
Then Ophis looked at Hakuto. “Do you know the way back?”
Hakuto spread his hands. “I don’t know either. What a pity. But don’t worry, I promised Sona I would send her back, so naturally, I will take you back with me as well. It’s just a matter of time. You don’t care about time, do you?”
Ophis nodded. Indeed, time meant nothing to Ophis and held no value. Ophis didn’t care about such things.
One hundred years, one thousand years, even one hundred thousand years were but the blink of an eye to Ophis.
Ophis never cared about these issues. Sona watched as Hakuto looked at Ophis. Sona could see what Hakuto’s goal was, but she didn’t say anything. Sona could afford to wait for time.
Devils had very long lifespans. Moreover, with the existence of the dimensional communicator, her sister knew she was safe, and nothing too serious would happen on the family’s end.
So she basically didn’t worry too much. She would just quietly wait for an opportunity to return.
Thus, another cute pet was added to Hakuto’s home. However, when Hakuto suggested having Ophis replace Lucoa to sustain the Nine Provinces Barrier, Lucoa shook her head, saying it wouldn’t work.
“Unless the Nine Provinces Barrier collapses and is rebuilt, the one sustaining the Nine Provinces Barrier cannot be switched. That means Ophis cannot replace me in bearing the consumption of the Nine Provinces Barrier.”
“Then what if we let the Nine Provinces Barrier collapse and rebuild it?”
“Rebuilding the Nine Provinces Barrier would be very difficult. Currently, the Nine Provinces Barrier has completely replaced the world’s barrier. That is to say, without the Nine Provinces Barrier, this world would have absolutely no defensive power. It would be like not only opening the door but also tearing down all the surrounding walls.”
“Then what if we tear down the walls and rebuild…”
“Do you think those powerful beings lurking outside, watching eagerly, would give you that chance?”
Hakuto had nothing to say.
“Does that mean I have no other choice but to find the Legendary Cooking Utensil?”
“There is another way. That is for your power to become strong enough to crush everything. You could just kill all the bandits who break into the house. Then, naturally, you wouldn’t have to worry about it.”
Hakuto nodded upon hearing this. That was indeed the case. But with his current strength, he was completely unable to accomplish such a thing.
“So it seems we can only ask you to continue bearing this for the time being. I will find the Legendary Cooking Utensil as soon as possible. Including the one we are currently searching for, there are only two left whose whereabouts are unknown.”
“Then do your best!”
Lucoa made a fighting gesture to Hakuto, then continued lying down to play games on her phone.
Looking at Lucoa like this, Hakuto sighed, ‘This dragon was completely ruined by modern life—every day happy cola, video games, completely ruined!’
