Odyssey of the Blind God



The Flood Dragon stared at Nial. His milky-white and lifeless eyes looked unfocused in Goldy's direction, unbothered about the heavy tension in the underground sea.

Goldy didn't have any memories like Nial. He didn't know Nial and hadn't seen a Creatoran either. 

He only heard about Creatoran from other highly intelligent monsters and knew that they were not exactly powerful but in possession of the ability to enhance a Monster's innate potential by binding them to their Soul Space.

But the Creatoran in front of it was far from weak. It was the strongest being Goldy encountered until now!

"I won't harm you, don't worry. On the contrary, I want to help you evolve into a True Golden Dragon," Nial said, his voice calm and composed.

A sensation of nostalgia spread through his entire being and he couldn't hide his smile anymore.

Reaching out with his hand, he added, "We know each other. If you feel the same connection as I do, touch my hand and accept the flood of memories."

Nial knew that Goldy was already at the peak of his current racial limit.

Goldy may be more than 200 meters long but his overall strength was much weaker than the Goldy Nial Lacardia had nurtured in the Lacardia Empyrea Void.

He wanted to show Goldy the memories of the past and demonstrate to the Flood Dragon how powerful he could become by turning into his Familiar.

Nial actually didn't need Goldy because he had Shadow, the Origin Leviathan, Roy, and over a million Devils. Each of the Devils was much stronger than an ordinary God as well.

So why was there the need for a Familiar like Goldy?

The Flood Dragon was not even close to ascending godhood.

So why?

Nial actually didn't know for sure either. He was drawn to Goldy and probably also Psy, the Blind Mouse, and he had to get them in order to fix everything.

By fixing, Nial meant his body and mental state.

By combining two memories and accepting his life in the Witness State, Nial awoke his Bloodline's Power. 

The Soul Space pulled him inside the Monster Dimension and toward his former Familiars, even though they didn't know he existed, in the first place.

Binding them to his Soul Space where they ought to be, Nial would fix everything, even the fate that had been destroyed by the Advocate of Pryard's actions.

The Divaro Golmmian Flood Dragon stared at Nial for quite a while. Goldy knew that he was not strong enough to fight Nial if he were to desire to do something to him. His opponent was a God-like existence, after all!

Not being forced to do anything, Goldy was able to focus on his thoughts. However, before he could come up with a decision on what he wanted to do, his snout had already come in contact with Nial's palm.

Nial didn't hesitate and sent a ton of memories into the mind of the Flood Dragon. Goldy's eyes widened upon seeing the memory of their first encounter.

The Goldscale Serpent and the four-year-old Nial Lacardia met. 

Their connection was completed upon sensing their connection, and a grandiose life filled with adventures began.

More memories entered Goldy's mind over the course of the next sixty minutes. The more memories Goldy received the stronger his familiarity with Nial grew. Goldy was slowly getting accustomed to Nial's existence and he noticed the connection between their souls for the first time.

He wanted to become Nial's familiar.

However, there were also many questions that flashed through Goldy's mind.

"I know what you're thinking about. It's only obvious to be suspicious. But how about we sit down and I tell you what actually happened?"

Nial didn't feel like forcing anything onto Goldy. To be precise, Nial's emotions were in turmoil by merely perceiving Goldy. He felt the familiar sensation of Goldy's golden scales, the Flood Dragon's breathing, and the sound of his movements as he levitated mid-air. 

It was a sensation he never expected to feel again. After all, Goldy was not supposed to exist in reality…or was he? 

'He levitated in front of me so he must be alive and real.'

Nial smiled lightly and he sat down on the ground less than two meters away from the underground sea. The stone beneath him was wet and cold but Nial didn't even notice.

His mind was a mess and he felt like telling Goldy about everything that had happened before. Goldy was his familiar of another lifetime, and it was different when explaining to the Flood Dragon about the things they had gone through together instead of telling someone unrelated about his time in the Lacardia Empyrean Void.

It was different, and not something he could share easily. Thus, having Goldy by his side felt extremely soothing.

Goldy descended into the water with a heavy head. He was unsure what awaited him but the Flood Dragon watched Nial patiently. 

Nial took a few moments to clear his mind. 

After that, he began to share the story about his life in the Lacardia Empyrean Void for the first time.

Hours passed without him realizing, and his mouth was already dry from speaking non-stop. However, Nial's complexion had improved gradually.

He felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his shoulders and he began to smile lightly. This time, his smile was genuine as he patted Goldy's snout gently.

The Flood Dragon was more comfortable with Nial by now. He could tell that Nial's story was genuine even if it was hard to believe.

But even if he didn't want to believe Nial's story, the memories that had been transferred into his mind and Nial's words were compatible. 

Nial also shared his view of the Advocate of Pryard, his life as the Dark Successor, and the things he went through before he had been trapped by the Seed of Illusion.

It was the first time that Nial revealed everything that tormented his mind. He never really shared his troubles and tormenting thoughts with others. However, he knew Goldy the longest as their Soul had been linked for over a century, even if it was just in the Witness State.

Thus, he found himself revealing everything.

Nial didn't know how much time passed but he only stopped speaking when the pulling force connected to Goldy disappeared. 

It was so unexpected that he shut his mouth in an instant. The surrounding temperature increased slowly and a huge golden magic circle formed on the ground.  The magic circle expanded as much as possible and a thread formed from Nial's Soul Space slowly moved through his body.

The Soul thread emerged inside his palm. It entered Goldy's body and made its way toward his soul.

If the Divaro Golmmian Flood Dragon would have been against the Soul Link with Nial, he would have to disagree to the bond now. 

However, Goldy didn't do anything against Nial's attempt to form a Soul Link.

The Flood Dragon even helped, releasing a Soul-thread on his own to form a firm bond between the Mythical Monster and the Creatoran.

Their bond returned to existence.

But this time, it was real.
