King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 1243 - 1243 1230 God of Fools

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1230: God of Fools Chapter 1243: Chapter 1230: God of Fools Under Muria’s watchful eyes, the deity with a serpent head and human body, whose stature was originally as tall as a human, rapidly swelled in size. In mere moments, it had transformed into a massive creature standing a hundred meters tall, matching the mountains in height.

Creak! Creak!

The divine being pushed open the cumbersome lid of the stone coffin, and the sound of heavy friction echoed. A strange power also seeped from the cracks of the lid as it was pushed open.

The moment this power appeared, Areina, who had been following Muria and looking around since descending from the sky, let out a cry of alarm.

It wasn’t that she had a problem; she was always under the protection of the power emanating from Muria, quite safe. The real issue was with the Winged Serpent Dragon following behind Muria.

This dragon, bathed in fresh blood and having achieved a rapid, monumental transformation from insignificance to greatness through its own strength, struggle, and immense fortune, watched as its glossy black scales visibly dulled, and its body shrank.

In just the span of a breath, the dragon, which could have soared through the skies based on its robust physique alone, collapsed to the ground as if all bones had been removed from its body, falling limp.

Just then, as the Winged Serpent Dragon was about to meet its end, a power of the same origin but even greater enveloped it, dispelling the devouring force that had been draining its life.

And it wasn’t just the Winged Serpent Dragon that encountered trouble; Jiuli, who had pushed open the coffin, also exhibited a noticeable anomaly. A thread-like, misty power drifted from his body and entered the coffin.

“Enough, step back! Divine power shouldn’t be wasted like this,”

Muria immediately recognized what was being drawn from Jiuli’s body by the entity inside the coffin, which piqued his interest even more in the contents of the coffin.

The remnants of a fallen deity shouldn’t exhibit such behavior, indicating that this so-called fallen deity hadn’t completely died.

However, the one who identified the contents of the coffin as remnants of a deity was his student, a novice who had stumbled onto the path of the extraordinary and then, through a series of mishaps, embarked on the path of the Earth God.

“Yes, Teacher.”

Hearing his teacher’s command, Jiuli, who no longer wished to experience the harsh draining of his power, willingly stepped aside.

“Tell me, you’re offering it up to me because you currently can’t handle what’s inside there, in exchange for a chance to go home, right?”

The Giant Dragon adorned with golden scales that shimmered with divine luminescence, possessing a dignified and noble demeanor, appeared beside what seemed to be the coffin of a deity. Yet, he didn’t rush to investigate the anomaly inside, instead leisurely surveying his student and speaking slowly.

“Hehe!”

The Earth God, whose thoughts were read aloud, bashfully lowered his head to avoid his teacher’s gaze and made a laugh in an attempt to cover his embarrassment. That was indeed his plan.

If he could have dealt with the contents of the coffin himself, whether he would have offered it to his teacher was truly uncertain. However, since he currently couldn’t resolve it, he might as well trade it for his teacher’s favor. Although he hadn’t interacted much with this teacher, Jiuli assumed that his teacher would treat him fairly.

“Stop the silly laughter, stay put on the side, and let me see what exactly is inside here.”

Relying solely on the divine essence within his reincarnated body, the Golden Giant Dragon completely ignored the devouring force emanating from the coffin. He extended his dragon head, closely examining the interior of the coffin.

What met the eye was a withered, emaciated “corpse,” from which the devouring power emanated, accompanied by a vast majesty that forced mortal things to kneel and worship uncontrollably.

“With such a posture, it’s no wonder you thought this toy was the remains of a divine being.”

Relying on her knowledge as an Epic, Muria immediately overturned her student’s assessment.

“Is that not so?”

“Of course not. Even if a divine being falls, leaving behind a corpse, it wouldn’t look like this,” Muria snorted, “Divine beings are life forms completely transcended from mortal things; even in death, they cannot turn into such a filthy sight.”

“If it’s not a corpse, then what is it?” Jiuli asked somewhat unconvinced.

“What else can it be!”

Muria extended her claws and, in the astonished gaze of her student, dragged the withered “corpse” lying in the coffin out and threw it onto the stone floor.

“Of course, it’s the same type of toy that your believers outside use.”

“This is a biological weapon?” Jiuli asked, incredibly surprised, pointing at the withered “corpse” on the ground.

“Of course. However, this toy is much more advanced than those used by your believers outside. Additionally, this thing is alive and in a very hungry state, which is why it appears this way.”

“How can this be?” Jiuli still struggled to understand. It looked unmistakably like a dried corpse; how could it suddenly become an armor used by divine beings for battle.

“That’s what I find odd, why you could so easily conclude that this toy is the remains of an ancient god? It clearly has nothing to do with ancient gods.”

Muria eyed her student, watching him falter under her scrutiny,

“Moreover, why would a god place their own remains in a coffin? Then brazenly display it in a temple, waiting for latecomers like you to dig up graves?”

“This…”

“In the future, refrain from expressing opinions in fields you don’t understand and are not skilled in, otherwise, you’ll make a fool of yourself.”

“Yes,” Jiuli said, his face reddening as he lowered his head, but then he looked up, somewhat reluctantly, “But Teacher, even if this isn’t divine remains, you calling it armor doesn’t make sense. Why would a god place their armor in a coffin?”

“My heavens, why must I have such a foolish student?” Muria raised her claw, covering her eyes, unable to bear looking directly, “I’ve told you, it’s not divine remains. Why would you think this rectangular object is a coffin? A Weapon Maintenance Box, isn’t that a fine name?”

“Sorry, Teacher, my mind didn’t catch up,”

“You really are… Never mind, let me explain then. This archipelago, in the distant past, must have been a massive Energy Gathering Array, its sole purpose to amass vast energy, supplying it to this Divine Armor.

Then, a divine battle occurred. The aftershocks of this battle destroyed the Energy Gathering Array, leading the Divine Armor to be deprived of sustenance, starving even to this day…”
