Chapter 361: Dragon King
361 – Dragon King

Could it be the source of God’s Voice? My wishes and those of God’s Voice have clashed a bunch, but it’s unmistakable that there’s someone that wants to guide me. If there is such a person, then I can imagine that this place at the edge of the world would be a perfect spot to find them.
