Chapter 180: The Mystery of Life (Ch 180)

Anke was almost shocked by Igneru’s news, but the other party’s next words shocked him again.

“Legend has it that the gods were originally one family. After creating all things in the world, they completely disappeared from the world and hid in the laws of the world. Among them, Ankselram, the ‘God of Life and Death’, was the one who loved the world the most, so he disappeared the last. Therefore, there were the most miracle stories about him in that era.”

Anke curled his lips and said, “For a god of life and death to be attached to the secular world doesn’t seem like a good sign, right?”

Igneel shook his huge head and narrated slowly:

“Although Anxelram is called a god, he is the most emotional and human god in the writings of later generations.

For example, if someone desecrates corpses and kills people, or breaks into coffins and robs graves, he will severely punish them. If someone works hard and cares for his wife and children, he will bless their descendants with wisdom and enlightenment. Many legends and folk customs, big and small, are proof that this god acts with emotion. “

I am such a kind person, and I was a warm-hearted person in my previous life…

Anke couldn’t help but ask in his mind: “Is it true, Seram, didn’t you say that your predecessors were emotionless and followed the rules?”

[These are all speculations made by later lives based on their actions… I think the previous life probably… was not like this, right? ]

Good man, you weren’t sure even if I told you earlier.

Anke couldn’t help but roll his eyes, and then asked: “What does this have to do with what you said? And what does it have to do with Acnologia?”

Igner’s majestic dragon eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, and he said:

“Although the gods disappeared, it has been proven that each god left behind relics or inheritances. In our era, from what I have heard, there are tribes that inherited part of the soul of the God of Time, races that were given treasures from the God of Space and hid in the cracks of time and space, and countries that dedicated themselves to serving the gods and were blessed by the God of Charm and Beauty, etc. Even our dragon ancestors seemed to have received help from some gods.”

“This kind of people had a unified name in that era, called ‘God’s Successor’. As the name suggests, they are the chosen ones who have inherited some of the gods’ relics or inheritance, and they all have special abilities.”

“And Akunologia, the guy who represents the source of evil, seems to have inherited the ‘death’ legacy from the god Anxelram and became the successor of the god.”

Anke’s pupils trembled, and he was a little dazed by Igner’s words.

God left many legacies and treasures in the world, but they have been hidden and disappeared in modern times.

And the one who inherited the Anxelram God is the desperate boss Acnologia in the original work? !

How is that dragon related to the predecessor?

“As you guessed, the Dragon Slayer will constantly transform into a dragon. The original Acnologia was also a human. After he turned into a dragon, he actually started to hunt dragons like crazy, devouring their flesh and magic.”

“We originally thought that Acnologia would eventually suffer the consequences of consuming and rejecting the dragon’s power without limit… Because even if a pure dragon did this, the only outcome would be an explosion and death.”

“But I didn’t expect that all the dragons he killed would eventually turn into his power. This is why we suspect that he inherited the power of the God of Life and Death. It’s as if he ignored death himself. He used the death of others to evolve and filled his ’empty’ body with countless energies!”

Anke fell silent again after hearing these words.

When he was absorbing the death energy in the past, he was indeed increasing his strength at the same time, but that tiny amount of energy was assimilated in an instant and no new attributes were derived.

From this perspective, the Acnologia in this world may be different from the original.

Acnologia received some special abilities due to the inheritance of “death” and became stronger through continuous killing.

After so many years of killing and devouring, he has swallowed almost all kinds of magic power and gained the ability to ignore all magic effects. A monster with full attack and defense is really a headache…

Anke looked up at the three-headed dragon that had become silent, feeling a mixture of emotion.

It’s not easy for you to escape from that perverted guy.

“So, since your name is the same as that god, and you said that you are targeting him, and your magic of life and death is so special, you must also be a god who believes in the god of life and death and has inherited divine power.”

Anke: …

“Ah… yes, yes… When I was born, I found that I had special magic. After looking up information, I gave myself this name. It turns out that I am the successor of God…”

[Hey Anke! Just tell him your identity! Are you really afraid of that Acnologia? ]

Anke curled his lips. Are you kidding? Afraid? How is that possible!

No matter how powerful Acnologia is, he is only an inherited power of death, and it is an ability derived from incomplete power.

He is almost immortal. Even if he cannot defeat the Black Dragon, he will not be killed by him. Who would be afraid of him?

But in the current situation, if we can’t eradicate the problem once and for all, it’s better not to fight. Just saying a word and hiding your identity is useless.

“I advise you to keep a low profile. Although the black dragon has caused a break in the inheritance of this era, and the names and existence of gods are no longer known, I wonder if there is any connection between the successors of gods. It is better to be careful.”

Igner kindly reminded Anke, who nodded in agreement, and then asked curiously:

“Will there be contact between the previous successors of God?”

Igneel scratched his head with his dragon claw fingertips, trying to recall the distant past. His bell-like voice was hesitant:

“Yes, there were some successors of gods who even fought each other in order to obtain more inheritance from gods. However, I remember that person was unable to bear the inheritance from multiple gods, and not only did his inheritance disappear, he also died suddenly.”

“Later, the immortal monster Acnologia heard about the successors of the gods and wanted to see if he could inherit the power of other gods. When the successors heard the news, they all disappeared. Even the history books cannot find them anymore.”

Anke found it a little funny: “Didn’t they say they got the inheritance from God? How can so many successors of God defeat Akunologia, who is also the successor of God?”

Igneel shook his head and sighed, “Not every god inherits combat abilities, and Acnologia is a powerful wizard who has mastered dragon-slaying magic to the extreme. He also possesses the dragon race’s strong physical defense and has inherited the most terrifying power of death…”

Anke nodded suddenly.

I understand. If I were the successor of God, I would probably despair when facing such an enemy.

Fortunately, he (once) was a pure god, they were just slowly getting stronger, and Anke was just unleashing his original strength.

As for the other gods’ successors, I will go check the whereabouts of these gods’ successors and see if I can obtain the abilities of other gods…

They cannot withstand the power of multiple gods, but I am not sure.
