Chapter 152 152 Their familiars

[OP: ]

A bright golden scale of light manifested in the world of darkness while just beside it, a large flat surface, a solid metallic screen of dark purple manifested and cast a large shadow right atop Lucifer.

Red words, written in a strange language started appearing on this screen and just when it happened, a simple circle of the same color manifested underneath his feet.

[ "The highest level of celestial skill… certainly on a completely different level from the other things we have witnessed until now." ]

[ "It is… shocking." ]

[ "This scale as well. This cute dragon sure is quite something." ]

A golden balance with three jewels in the center, and both sides of it.

One in the middle glowing blue, the one facing the dragon glowing black, while the one before El shined the same color as her eyes, bloody beautiful crimson.

[ "One is fascinated by the findings before oneself…" ]

The screen she had summoned was a kind of scanner that scanned almost all aspects of the target. Not just their skills, abilities, potential, experience, and the kind of life they have lived, but, even the things that they could accomplish and the things that might affect the world because of their actions.

[ "I want that skill Lucy… it's sexy." ]

[ "You know what it's doing…?" ]

[ "Predicting change." ]

[ "…?!" ]

She answered in one word but, he knew just what that simple one word actually meant.

[ "Oh my…" ]

El had claimed that predicting change on the Worldline level would be an impossible task at their current level. She went as far as fighting Lucy when they were in that dungeon. But now, she was telling him that the one before him was doing the same thing that she had claimed would be impossible for them until they reached the level of the true gods.

And, she had never said she could make a skill that could do it automatically. She had never done it nor thought could be possible by them even after reaching that high of a level.

But, here was a creature doing something that she never knew was possible right before her.

[ "I envy you darling. I would have loved to have that bird instead of this lizard." ]

[ "…don't call him a lizard El. Haaa… but, yeah. I would have loved having him instead as well. But, this isn't too bad either." ]

[ "Lucky bastard. Tsk." ]

The amount of data the purple screen was showing would be beyond what almost any creature could comprehend in this entire Worldline. Some of the Offspring might also fail to understand everything that was being represented on that screen. It was absurd, and, the fact that El could understand it all, was even more absurd since the language used in those texts was [[( Runes )]], the primordial language that was the core of the concept known as [Language].

She could understand that stuff, her eyes were fixed on that data, she was missing most of the things even after using her link skill, [Parallel mind], and concentrated breathing, but, she knew exactly what was being represented, calculated, analyzed, and evaluated there.

It was all just… absurd. She couldn't believe it even though she was seeing it with her own eyes. And it was all beautiful as well so, there was an excited smile on her face.

[ "Get her Lucy. I want her…" ]

[ "Haaa… of course. I would love to have the one with you as well. So get him too." ]

[ "He's already mine." ]

What she was seeing through that window, the things happening in the realm he was in, fascinated her to no end. And the same way, the things that were happening in her realm were something that had won Lucy's heart.

She was before a dragon… a dragon! A real freaking dragon!

And as that being said, it wasn't just some simple dragon, it was a Dragonlord, something existing two steps above the usual original dragons! There shouldn't even be ten of them in this entire Worldline!

The rankings of the dragons went like this: A (Dragonoid) born from a dragon and some other race< A half-blood (Dragon) born from two different original dragons< the Pureblood (Dragon) born from a single original dragon's essence< the (Original dragons) who have been born from a certain [Origin]< the (High dragons) who are an evolved version of the original dragons, or the dragons who have achieved enlightenment< the (Dragon king) who have achieved a certain level of influence and have other original dragons as their servants< the (Dragonlords), the ones who possess power greater than the dragon kings individually without anyone else's support.

And, lastly, the epitome of all the dragons in existence, the 111th offspring of the Worldline, the [Dragon god], or, the one known by their original title, the [Mana engine].

They were called the epitome of existence for a reason. And the one before her was even more special than any other original dragon they could meet in their own world.

They could do many things if they had a dragon, they could also just jump up to the main plan instead of going at it in the roundabout way they were going to in the beginning.

Lucy wanted that being more than she wanted it as her familiar, and she wanted his birdy more than him actually.

They wanted these creatures, and, the evaluations they were doing to test their eligibility as their masters were just about to come to an end.

The scale of judgment that the dragon had summoned had gathered all the unreal amount of Mana the creature provided it and was now glowing with a striking golden glow.

And, the data on the screen on the realm on the other side had reached a certain point where the speed of the data processing had become something even beyond El's current limits.

On one side, the scale was declaring the judgment while on the other side, the bird of wisdom was almost done with whatever she wanted to know about him.

And…

[ "It is done." ]

[ "One has seen all that one wanted to know." ]

The golden scale finished shining and leaned on one side with six words written in Rune language appearing above the pan that had leaned towards El.

"See. You lose. You're my familiar from now on, and your name will be, hmm… lemme think of the cutest name for you~."

[ "One accepts the special being before oneself as one's master. Please give this fortunate one a new name to complete the bonding." ]

The dragon was stunned by the results of his own skills and, there was no way this innate skill of his kind that was overseen by the great Worldline could ever be wrong.

The results before him were the truth. He really lost to a mere human-like girl in not one but six different areas, which, was unacceptable to his dragonlord pride.

However, he had agreed to the bet she had called for a moment ago… he was hesitant and his intuition definitely warned him that what he was doing was wrong, but, he had accepted the bet. And now, everything was over.

A dragon's promise, or in this case, acceptance of the bet, was unbreakable. If the dragons agreed to something, they could not back off from it even if they wanted to with all their hearts. That is why they were the most cautious beings in the Worldline. However, the one before her was a dummy dum-dum.

He fell for her charm and now… may Worldline help this poor soul survive eternity with his new 'master'.

[ "We got two good ones." ]

[ "Right~? Hehehehe." ]

The first impression of this place the two of them had was not too good.

They didn't understand what was going on at first but when they realized what was actually going on, they understood the things happening right now were too absurd to think too deeply about.

This unique plain of existence, these creatures with no clear body, the uniqueness of these realms, all the things around them, and the fact that they were now taking in those same unique creatures who were practically [WANTED!] in the entire Worldline, were all just… absurd.

They knew just how fucked up all of this was and that was the main reason they just accepted it and continued with what they thought was the best in the current moment.

There was a threat to their life, certainly, however, they continued with faith in their own fate-forsaken, miserable life and walked on… and now, it was finally time for things to end here.

"Hmmm… okey~. Mister Dragonlord of eternal chaos~. From now on, your name will be Cary~! Hehehe, let's make a looooooot of lovely memories~."

[ "That… is a good name. I did not expect that." ]

"Hehe, what did you expect? Something like Tommy, Sweety, Benny Danny, or Puppy? Nah~. That's not my style~. Didn't I say~? I will give you the cutest name that suits you~."

Her naming sense had improved after Lucy made her promise she would name things the way it suited their characteristics the most. So now she named everything based on their characteristics or else… this poor dragon would have definitely lived with the name Tommy for the rest of his life.

Thankfully, Lucy prevented many catastrophic events with his promise. And, he was better when it came to naming anyway so…

"Roxanna. Let us have a catastrophic life together."

[ "Hahaha. One is delighted to hear that phrasing." ]

The two of them extended their hands toward the creatures and the two beings before them bowed their tall heads toward their hands.

-Ooooooooooooooooooong!

A blinding light covered the two couples that was a mix of black-and-red and white-and-blue. The back of their palm touching their heads glowed with this unique light and, the creatures themselves started turning into particles of similar light.

[ "Thank you." ]

[ "Yes. One is eternally grateful." ]

They were prisoners for so long that it was crazy how they had maintained their sanity even after living alone for such a long time. It was crazy, certainly, but, they were free now, and, though the cause of this strange incident was a coincidence, the results of it were better than they would have ever expected.

"Don't worry my lovely little Cary. You are in for a loooooot of fun, hehehe."

"It will be a fun ride on this journey, Anna. Look forward to it."

Their bodies were completely turned into particles of light and, a unique pattern resembling the two creatures appeared on the back of their palms.

And, as soon as this happened, the magic circle beneath their feet that had almost lost their lights, exhosted all that they had and, vanished completely, sending the two to the place they had come from… marking the conclusion of their familiar bonding.
