RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel



Ishtar suddenly froze. She looked off into the distance with wide eyes. "Stop the battle…. STOP THE BATTLE!!"

There was no longer any reason to fight this battle. She did not know what happened, but Ea's life force suddenly ceased to be.  "Ishtar, what happened?"

"Ea is dead!" Ishtar suddenly announced. "Our war here is over!" 

Bret looked at Ishtar in a daze. The battle that was supposed to be the second toughest was already over!? It just started! While he was stunned, he still knew he had to ask the proper questions. "Who killed him?"

"I don kno…."

"I did…." A voice came from above them. Ishtar and Bret both looked over to see Destiny standing in the air, holding Ea's head. "Use this to make the other surrender. No more lives need to be lost."

"You… how!?" Ishtar did not understand how Destiny was able to kill Ea. Even she would need to use everything she had to kill him, and even then, she still might not be able to.

"I used the new drones I made for combat that use the new special weapons. Ea's barriers could not block the attack, so in his arrogance, he died." Destiny replied flatly. "I need to head back and watch over Papa. I will leave the rest to you."

Destiny tossed the head to Bret before opening a rift in space and stepping through it. She left behind both Ishtar and Bret, who almost dropped the severed head in a state of shock. "She… She…" Ishtar shivered from head to toe. If she was able to kill Ea, she could kill any god she wanted. Maybe even Anu would not be able to stand against her.

In a tall palace, Anu sat back in his chair and sighed. "It seems karma is something even us gods can not escape. This farce has gone on long enough. Send down my order's Odin. All gods are to sign a contract with Blake Harris. The astral Domain will be under his command from this moment on. No more lives need to be lost for something so stupid." 

Anu was basically handing over the Astral Domain to Blake. He was doing this because he believed in the man. He watched what he had done in order to save the people on Ea's floating island. And what he saw shocked him. The entire domain that should be under his control had time stopped for it. Only he, who was semi-conscious, knew what Blake had done. Such a man who was even willing to save those he had no ties to was a man worth truly helping. 

"Lord…. Are we really going to submit to a mortal?" Odin couldn't help but frown. She had always felt that they should be more proactive, but she did not see a need to submit.

"Yes. This is fate. Our fate. We should have stood up to the devils millions of years ago. But instead, we let them grow in power. From what I can tell, we will not be entering the gate. We will only be pushing the devils back and sealing it closed. This is something we had already long promised to do." Anu closed his eyes and sighed. He knew sealing the gate to the underworld would not be easy. But even if he had to give up his own life, he would do it. He now understood that the realm he once abandoned was much more capable than he had originally thought. Since they had the means to do as they were doing, it was time to repay what was due.

Back at the base camp in Ishtar's domain, Destiny appeared once more in her room, where Blake was still sleeping soundly. Joy looked at her but did not say anything. She could tell that Destiny was trying to deal with killing someone for the first time.

Destiny knelt down next to Blake's bed and rested her head on his hand, holding it there as she started to cry. "Papa…. I killed someone today… I killed the man who had tried to kill me but I…. Don't hate me…."

Joy quickly got up from her seat, ran over to Destiny, and hugged her from behind. She wished she had been the one to go. "Big Sister, it was the two of us who killed him. You did not kill him alone…."

Destiny continued to cry. Her sorrowful sobs made Joy tear up as she hugged Destiny tightly. Clance and Lillia both quickly arrived when they heard the news and saw their daughters both crying, and their hearts almost shattered. 

"Destiny! Joy!" Lillia and Clance both yelled out. 

"Mama, will Papa hate me?" Destiny raised her tear-covered face and looked at Lillia. "I took a life today…."

"Destiny, your father will never hate you. Even if you killed thousands of people, he would not hate you. I know it is hard to kill someone. I know you have all been locked up in the city where there is no need to worry about killing. It seems this was a mistake. You are Destiny Harris, the daughter of Blake Harris. You are the reason why we have had such an easy war thus far.

"And in war, killing is normal. It is what allows us to be able to survive. It is either the enemy or us. We had no choice but to come to the Astral Domain in order to gain the power to take our home planet back. Your father, Myself, and all your mamas do not want war. We do not want death. We do not want to risk the lives of our own people in order to fight any kind of war. 

"What you did today may have saved tens of thousands of lives. So do not think of it as killing a person for the first time, but think of it as saving the lives of those who never wished for war and were forced into it. On this day, Destiny, you will be seen as a hero."
