《Beyond The Worlds[BTW]》Ch 22:The truth
Advertisement
Aka was in her dragon form, but she couldn't fly because her wings were bruised. She was free-falling right now.
'It hurts' her body was aching a lot, but luckily she had no serious injuries. Aka looked at the area that was covered in ice, she knew she might have some injuries from this fall but she would be fine. When she was mentally bracing herself, an invisible force held her before her fall. Aka opened her eyes and saw an extraordinary looking young man standing in front of her.
Shin watched the red dragon in front of her. Unlike other dragons, Aka's red hair remained when she was in her dragon form. She also had smoother and lighter colored scales than the other red dragons.
"What a beautiful dragon." Shin said as he stroked her scales. He actually found Aka's appearance spectacular. After seeing her wounds, he used his mana to speed up Aka's regenerative process.
'That…' Aka felt her body get much better when her wounds were healed. Aka looked at Shin as she was stroking her scales. Generally humans don't like the appearance of Dragons, but Shin seemed to be different.
'It is very good!' Aka felt an extraordinary sensation when she was being caressed by Shin. Her scales have already been touched by some people in her life, for example, some of her family members. However, the feeling of being caressed by Shin is totally different.
"You should rest. Don't worry about the tournament, it will be 'cancelled' soon." Shin spoke and sat back down.
'Called off?' Aka was wondering what the meaning of her words was, but her expression totally changed when she saw a gigantic space gate cover the entire island.
'What the hell is this?' She was a little startled when she saw such a huge space gate. A translucent barrier covered the island preventing people from leaving.

"Hahahahaha. I thank you in advance for all of you on this island. You will be the first people to witness the birth of a new world." Dreyfus spoke with a smile on his face.
The leaders looked at Dreyfus with a strange expression, because they didn't know this person; However, there were some exceptions.

"I-impossible!" The Dragon King couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. He thought he was having a nightmare and would wake up soon.
"Hahaha. Did you miss me, Your majesty?" Dreyfus asked with a smile. "It's been a long time since we've seen each other. However, you don't need to be so surprised, our reunion will be an unforgettable day for you."
"How the hell are you alive Dreyfus?!" The Dragon King completely lost his temper. He couldn't believe this person was alive.
"You know what? I'll tell you. After all, this will be your last day of life."

A few thousand years ago.
"Finally the 'Eye of Saturn' will be in our hands." The Dragon King said.
"Looks like the plan worked, but we need to make sure no one knows about this matter." An elf woman said. The woman was looking at the crystal ball in her hands with an impassive expression.
"Well, let's get this over with." Said a human man. This man was the former emperor of the Boryoku empire.
"You… How can you do such a thing? Do you have any idea how many innocent people were involved in this?" Dreyfus was all bloodied on the floor. Dreyfus was not the only one in this state, millions of people were involved in this incident.
"Sacrifices must be made. You should have turned in the 'Eye of Saturn', maybe you could stay alive now."
"The 'Eye of Saturn' is rightfully ours. I will never give it to you!" Dreyfus said, screaming.
"You don't have a choice, the dead don't make decisions." The Dragon King didn't wait any longer and gathered a huge amount of mana in his hand and created a giant fireball.
"Die Dreyfus."
Dreyfus looked at the giant fireball that was coming towards him with a complicated expression.
'This will not end here.' Dreyfus looked at the "Eye of Saturn" that was on his body.
'Satur. Transfer my soul to another body. Use energy from surrounding bodies. Place my order at the exact moment the explosion occurs.' Dreyfus would use the energy of all 1 million bodies to carry out his order.

Before "dying" Dreyfus looked at the Dragon King and said, "One day you will pay for everything you did today."
*BOOMM!*
-
Returning to the present.
The people who heard Dreyfus' explanation were completely in shock. No one has ever heard of this subject, whether it is dragons, humans, Elves etc.
"Are you shocked by this? Your leaders sacrificed millions of their people to get the 'Eye of Saturn'."
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Tiana suddenly appeared. She couldn't believe Dreyfus' words. "Dragons, Elves and Humans joined together to defeat the monster that was made by the demons. Millions of lives were sacrificed, and...
"Monster made by demons? Hahahaha. You must be talking about the 'Disaster' that appeared a few thousand years ago. This monster was made by the Dragon King, the seer and the Ancient Emperor of Boryoku."
"W-what…" Tiana couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Why?"
"Their reason was-"
*BOOMM!*
Before she finished her words, a fireball came towards her. Dreyfus just dodged the fireball with a smile on his face.
"Dreyfus, don't talk nonsense!" The Dragon King couldn't let Dreyfus keep talking. If this issue spreads, it could cause a mass revolt.
"Hahaha. Your majesty, calm down! Everyone already knows that, you don't need to be angry."
"What do you mean-" The Dragon King couldn't finish his words because he saw several giant screens appear. The screens didn't just appear on the island, they appeared in several different countries.
"That…" the Dragon King's mind stopped at that moment.
“The reason was to lure the demonic race into a trap. When 'Disaster' came along, we initially thought it was a plan of the other races, but we changed our minds when we saw hundreds of thousands of people die. On our own, we decided to cooperate in the fight against 'Disaster.' However, this was all just a trap."
"Why do they need to use a trap? Wasn't it easier to make the 'disaster' attack the demonic realm?" Tiana noticed a problem with Dreyfus' speeches.
"At the time we were the race that possessed the 'Eye of Saturn'. The other races didn't know the limit of the artifact either, that is, they were afraid of us. If we used the artifact in our realm, they would still not know of anything."
Dreyfus looked at everyone and continued his words.
"When we used the 'Eye of Saturn' to destroy the 'Disaster', the Dragon King, the seer and the Emperor of Boryoku realized that the artifact had temporarily lost its power, meaning they discovered the artifact's limit on that day. So they eliminated all of us, along with all the people from the battlefield. After that day, they spread that we were the ones who created the 'Disaster.' No one doubted, after all everyone who knew the truth was dead."
"Are you saying they made a bet?" Tiana realized an important point. What if the "Eye of Saturn" didn't lose its powers at that moment? Would all lost lives be used only for testing?
"Hahahaha. You're right. However, that amount of dead people and soldiers would not be enough to shake their respective kingdoms."
Tiana couldn't believe what she was hearing. Not just Tiana, all the leaders, participants and people watching the broadcast were completely in shock. Dragons and Elves were the most affected by the whole situation. The seer was a highly respected person in the Realm of Elves, as was the Dragon King in the Realm of Dragons.
Aka looked at her father with an expression of shock. She didn't get much love from her father, but she still respected him a lot. After all, she had been told all her life that he was a great hero, but in reality it was all just a lie.
"Don't believe this person! He's lying!" The Dragon King immediately denied the situation.
"Hahaha, let's see if I'm lying or not." Dreyfus flew towards the "Eye of Saturn". The Dragon King went after Dreyfus immediately, but his attempt failed. Dreyfus was much faster than the Dragon King. Dreyfus took the "Eye of Saturn" with a smiling expression. People were in shock that the artifact did not reject Dreyfus.
"See for yourselves."
