Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Ultimately, Benladann and everyone else arrived at the city after a while. I never asked for their help because I didn't wanted to bother them to be honest. We managed to do things on our own, so everything ended well.

Alma, my daughters, Benladann, my parents-in-law, and everyone else with Alma joined. Miranda meet tons of Vampires and was strangely interested in absorbing some of their traits too.

The people of Heaven Port were left to be taken care by my other restoration forces, made by several of my disciples, who were all mortals, with the supervision of a few Gods such as several Sect masters I had recruited through my journey.

Using Earth Magic, I used Earth Spirits to quickly help repair Heaven Port from its destruction, trying to leave everything as new as it was before everything happened.

The people believed the monsters did everything and had no idea a battle between gods happened right above their heads. But well, that's for the better.

And about Greenwood's base? Well that got all buried in rubble, and there were no survivors either, though I managed to steal a few things, especially that cloning machine he had.

The morning sun quickly began arising from the horizon, as Benladann sat down at my side, while my two daughters were playing with Ruby after so long. Miranda was at my side as well, and my parents in law were watching over the kids.

We were enjoying a feast of all you can eat seafood we brought from Heaven port, mostly all Divine Monsters we killed in that battle. There was plenty for everyone.

"I guess everything ended nicely." Benladann sighed in relief.

"It was one hell of a battle…" I sighed.

"Yeah, you should had asked us for help you know?" Sighed Miranda.

"I just didn't wanted to bother you girls, even less my daughters." I sighed. "See? I handled it all myself, don't worry~" I laughed.

"Geez… I'll get myself some sort of teleportation item to get to you whenever you need help." Said Benladann. She quickly kissed my cheek and hugged me. "I was worried…"

"Even if I were to die here, I had my other substitute body with you guys, right?" I sighed.

"Yeah but still!" Miranda said. "Don't be so overly reckless all the time… You really love to make us worry."

"Ahahaha… Okay, okay, I am sorry." I laughed a bit.

We looked into the horizon while drinking some hot tea.

It was a nice and relaxing moment where we finally didn't had to care about everything for a bit.

I had already merged back with the other body I had in Heaven port to not cause any further confusion too.

However, Alma and company quickly approached us.

"Hey, so this is your real form, huh? I guess you're not a big dragon all the time." Hermes smiled back. "W-Wait a second… You're the guy I scammed back then! Ah, I am sorry!"

Hermes quickly kneeled before me.

"Ah, don't worry about it." I laughed. "That branch was good. I made a whole Yggdrasil tree out of it."

"Eh? You did?!" Hermes was surprised.

Root who was in his smaller form, yet still resembling a golem made of wood, nodded.

"Yggdrasil is a powerful type of plant, even a small and dried branch, with enough power and magic, can grow into a beautiful tree." He nodded. "Drake, thank you for helping us this entire time. You don't know how much we owe you."

"Yeah, we are very grateful for everything… You even gave us power without asking anything in return either…" Alma said with a sweet smile. "You even revived this dummy… And my brother's fine too, all thanks to you."

"Don't worry about it." I said. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? Or something like that… Well, whatever's the case. It was a surprise to find others that opposed Greenwood, I had to give you all a second chance."

"You sure did…" Elma sighed.

"Indeed, I never thought I could become a goddess this quickly!" Elena said.

The twin elves were the psychic girls, they were rather cute.

"Well, I just leveled the field a bit." I shrugged. "So? What are you guys planning to do now? I doubt you're sticking with me for long."

"Yeah, once Hermes cooldown's gone we're going back to our hideout with the rest of the Awakened." Said Alma.

"Are you sure that place's safe? You could leave them inside my Divine Realm." I said. "In fact, why don't you do that? I only want to help you guys out. I am a bit nervous you've left them in the middle of nowhere…"

"Hm, well, our hideout is inside ancient ruins." Said Hermes. "But you're right, how about it, Alma?"

"Yeah, I was about to ask you if we could make an alliance, Drake." Said Alma. "We're busy though, we want to keep helping more Awakeners, but we also know you're busy yourself."

"I want to help you guys, I can be in many places at once, so I might be joining your travels through my doppelgangers and slimes." I said with a smile.

"That would certainly make things way, way easier." Alma sighed in relief.

"I guess it is decided." Root said. "Mother Yggdrasil says that you're someone trustworthy. She also apologizes for cursing you back then, she simply was nervous that you would try to destroy the world."

"Wait, you can talk with her?!" I asked.

"Only receive her messages sometimes." Root said. "Nothing like a conversation."

"I see… Well the curse destroyed itself as I evolved, so it's fine I guess." I said. "For now, what are your plans after getting the people to my divine realm?"

"We've detected some anomalies in Svartalfheim." Said Hermes.

"The land of the dwarves… There's another Soul Fragment of Oberon there." Alma said.

"Svartalfheim…" I sighed. "I need to get to Muspelheim myself, so I guess we'll be separating ourselves."

"Muspelheim?" Wondered Alma. "Why?"

"A Fire Dragon told me to go there. I am also seeking the inheritance of the Venerables. The Venerable of Fire was said to be a chaotic man, but I think there might be a chance to make him my ally. I kind of get along with muscle heads."

Like that, I continued talking with the elves and everyone else for a while.

We were finally able to relax and talk to our heart's content.

…

Or that's what I thought…

An enormous presence began to approach from the skies, gigantic in magnitude.

Unlike the venerable of blood, this one presence had complete control over its Primordial Blood Divinity, yet it was very different than that of the Vampire.

"Hold on for a bit… I have to go see something."

I flew into the skies without wasting a single second.

And then, I meet him.

A dragon, and not a simple one either.

"My brother, it is a pleasure to see you."

This guy gives me very bad vibes.

I cannot lower my guard.
