SWNOVELS Chapter 2809
Chapter 2809 Unrequited Love
At the same time, Theos' spiritual body became more like a silhouette.
It was because he was frightened.
A second later, Theos snapped at Corra furiously, "You're lying to me! You're definitely lying! The King of Dragons has been dead for a long time! Besides, it may not necessarily be real. Maybe it was just something made up by people."
Quickly, it responded, "Please calm down, Lord Theos. I wasn't the one saying the King of Dragons has returned. Everyone in the primeval forest is talking about it. As you know, many primordial beasts in the forest have seen it before. Some even served it in the past. I doubt they'd mistake something else for it."
Theos' mind went blank. I don't want to believe it, but I'd just be deceiving myself. The King of Dragons may have actually returned. I've only fallen asleep for a few short days, yet so many changes have occurred on Theos Island.
After composing himself, Theos uttered, "I'll judge for myself after leaving here whether it really is the King of Dragons. Now, tell me about the other individual who killed Minotaur. What's his deal?" Hastily, Corra disclosed everything it knew about Zeke to Theos.
In summary, it talked about how Zeke had united the Contubernium's district soon after he stepped onto the island. Then he barged into Centuria's district, unified it, and took over the Legions.
It also mentioned Zeke had recently annexed North and South Camp, effectively becoming the new owner of Theos Island.
Theos was further incensed. I can't believe this random guy seized centuries of my hard work soon after I slumbered! Damn him! I'm going to kill him! Who the heck is he? Why is he so powerful? Why did he come to Theos Island?
Suddenly, a figure popped into his mind. Could that person be Eurasia's Great Marshal, Zeke Williams? Did he come all the way here to rescue Lacey? It's very likely.
Coldly, he spat, "Zeke must've come here to rescue Goddess. Hmph! She's a descendant of my race, while you're just a commoner! You're not allowed to touch her! I won't let anyone covet her, my source of the Gods' bloodline. You will die, Zeke! Corra! Return to the primeval forest and continue to collect information there. Most importantly, keep an eye on the King of Dragons. If it does anything major, I want to know about it immediately."
"Understood!" replied Corra.
With that, Theos' spiritual body disappeared from the coffin.
His main body, the bulky arm, was still inside the coffin.
Corra gently licked the arm before unwillingly slithering out of the coffin.
Right as it landed on the ground, it returned to its true form.
Its original length was over fifty meters long, and its tough scales were the size of a palm.
Two budding wyrm horns were atop its head, representing its success in becoming a wyrm.
That also meant it was only a step away from becoming a dragon.
A yearning expression settled on Corra's countenance. "Lord Theos will definitely help me transform into a dragon. Once I defeat the King of Dragons, I'll become the true ruler of the primeval forest. As I govern the beast clan, Theos will lead the Gods. We'll become immortals on Theos Island and live happily ever after together. Hehe, we're a match made in heaven!"
Sadly, Theos would never fall for Corra.
After all, he was a God, and having a member of the beast clan as a partner would only taint the name of his race.
His partner, at the very least, had to be a descendant of the Gods, such as Lacey.
When Theos reappeared earlier, he immediately realized Theos Island had changed.
The natural laws Theos formed over centuries had been shattered.
When he observed the island, he noticed no one was living at the edges of the island anymore. Everyone had gathered in the inner area, Camp Master's district.
