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

The Hell Gate was closed, and its closure was rather abrupt, forcing even Pandemonium to feel slightly… unease. He glanced into the distance as he flew above a gigantic Demonic Beast, his eyes flaring with concern, and slight amount of anger.

“Hoh? How were these bastards capable of closing the Gate so quickly…?” He muttered. “Interesting…”

“It doesn’t matter.” The one accompanying him said. “Simply get ready for what’s to come. Once you can gather enough energy, you do whatever you want…”

“Huh… You really don’t care about anything, huh? How was a being like you born from this very world? Are your ambitions really beyond your home?” Pandemonium wondered, smiling.

“…” The figure at his side remained in silence, thinking, and then it spoke again. “I’ve gained enlightenment in the many years I’ve lived. And I have realized only one absolute, my own life, soul, and dreams. And I will take lives, destroy this world, and shatter all other dreams for my own.”

“…” Pandemonium squinted his eyes, the man at his side was not an ally, he was an enemy.

Yet now, for a small amount of time, they’re allies as they share a slightly common goal. However, once that goal is finally achieved… They will no longer be in good terms.

“I see…” The Demon sighed. “Well, maybe we’re not so different. I will also do anything, whatever it takes to return back home… Even if that involves destroying this world.”

“Don’t you want to find her too?” The one at his side asked.

“Naturally.” Pandemonium smiled. “What? Do you have something to do with her?” He asked, slightly concerned.

“…Not for now.” The figure sighed.

The tension in the air was clear, but the two kept themselves to one another, without clashing into pointless arguments or discussions.

They’ll have plenty of time for that later.

The large city within my Divine Realm was bustling with people today, as usual. It has changed quite a lot since I became a God, from a small village with only a few houses to having thousands, with hundreds of thousands of people living in here.

There were now a variety of shops, markets, and all sorts of other places. And of course, secret portals that led to Dungeon Entrances below my power, across the continent of Jotunheim, which the people constantly walked in and out of them, bringing out and in a variety of products they traded with the many Sects and Cities I had created strong connection with.

To the mortal world, which was just the vast majority of people out there, we were simply known as the Righteous Winter Dragon Sect, a sect that dealt in all sorts of trades, sold their strength as mercenaries, guards, and adventurers, and also worked together with the Great Alliance that the Frost Queen created to apprehend all kinds of criminals.

It has been roughly four days since we came back to Muspelheim’s Mountain, where we settled down and went inside my Divine Realm to take a breather, while slowly preparing for what was to come.

ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm Surtr and his friends have been resting while training their abilities, mostly through meditation which involved the manipulation of energies, practicing them until perfection.

And as of us, we’ve been doing a variety of things, from expanding the city, to expanding the frost castle, creating, and building new facilities, and spreading more knowledge, while seeing how far my people was progressing, and also all those Sects I’ve been taking care of.

There hasn’t been a day where we haven’t been slightly busy, but in a good and relaxing way, and not in the fighting to the death way, which is relieving.𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Today we were taking a stroll in the ever-growing city inside my Divine Realm, while looking at the products that just got here from the Union, which they had exported here.

“Wow, there’s a lot of ores today.” Benladann said, as she glanced at the many ores that had been brought.

“I heard that the Orange Village had created a large mining guild, and they started mining a nearby mountain. They have found a large quantity of magic ores of all shapes and colors over there.” I explained. “Although they don’t possess divinity or something, they’re quite high quality. I’ll pick a few.”

I quickly bought a few kilograms of all sorts of colorful ores, from Fierce Blazing Bronze to Emerald Jade Fairy Glass, and even the very rare Gnomium, a special kind of ore imbued with a lot of earth attribute mana.

[Although they’re not imbued with divinity, they are very high quality, they could become part of your Ascendancy Law construct, you’ll need hundreds of thousands of these materials to make the components, while the strongest divine materials will be the pillars holding everything together.]

“I see, then I’ll have to buy a bit more…” I wondered, rubbing my chin. “Is any material okay?”

[I would recommend fire and ice attribute ones. But light and darkness are okay too.]

“Gotcha…”

“Daddy, daddy!”

Suddenly, Benladra came flying to my head, pointing at something in the distance with her tiny fingers.

“Look daddy, there’s new ice cream flavors! Can we have some?”

“New flavor?” Kate wondered, who was sitting over my shoulders.

“Oooh, sounds nice.” I laughed. “What do you think?”

“Let’s go have some ice cream then.” Benladann smiled.

“Anything cold is good, the weather today is VERY hot! Is your Divine Realm going through summer?” Miranda asked annoyedly.

“Well yeah, the weather is not something I can completely control, it goes through the four seasons as normal, it is necessary for them to go so the plants and crops grow properly.” I explained. “Since I absorbed that Dream Dungeon of Yggdrasil that the weather has become slightly more… well, radical, for a lack of a better word.”

“Ugh, yeah, anything…” Miranda was really tired of the heat.

“Okay, okay~” I laughed, buying some triple and even quadruple ice cream cones for everyone, as we enjoyed the new flavors together.

Some of them included Mochi, Pink Grass, and even Blue Berries, which were a rather refreshing delight after a lot of fighting.

“Here we are…”

Though, today we didn’t come here for nothing, as we finally arrived in front of Rakasha’s enormous Forge.

“Oh, Drake! You’re here. The thing you commissioned is done!”
