544 Chapter 387: The Dwarf God Is In My Hands? [1/3]
This piece of news was like a bomb dropped into Richard’s heart that set off massive waves.
He had never expected he could obtain information related to the Crimson Moon in the underground world.
Moreover, it was so shocking.
‘When the Crimson Moon rose, the dwarf god would return… This prophecy seemed ordinary. But it overturned his previous deduction about the Crimson Moon.
‘Wasn’t the Crimson Moon a terror that could make the gods tremble?
‘Why was he suddenly related to a fallen god?
‘What was going on with this new expansion pack?
‘The Crimson Moon would be countless times more complicated than he had expected if this prophecy were true.’
As Richard’s thoughts spun.
He looked at the blood-colored statue in the old dwarf’s hand that emitted the aura of a god.
He forcefully suppressed the waves in his heart and slowly opened the attribute panel.
[Statue of the Dwarf God]
[Level: Special]
[Characteristic: Seals a part of the soul of the dwarf god and can activate the power of the descendants of the dwarf god.]
[Introduction: A treasure personally forged by the dwarf god. A part of his soul is sealed in the core.]
Richard held his breath.
‘One has sealed the soul of the dwarf god in this statue?’
He found it unbelievable.
‘When did gods become cabbages? Why did he meet them everywhere?
‘Did these guys play so big?’
Moreover, this wasn’t like the kobold god’s clone he had imprisoned. It was something that the other party had sealed on its own.
His soul power was countless times stronger than that of his clone.
From the information just now… This statue was the key to the resurrection of the dwarf god!
The light in his eyes flickered…
Rand Augustus, the old dwarf, looked at Richard for a long time without saying a word. Anxiety engulfed his face.
He was scared Richard would order his soldier to drag them down and hang them on the city gate…
After a long time, he gathered his courage and spoke.
“Great Ruler, do you have any questions?”
Richard was startled awake. He looked at the nervous old dwarf and took a deep breath.
“How much do you know about the Crimson Moon?”
The old dwarf shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Lord, our father’s prophecies are too vague. We have searched for countless years. But we found nothing about the Crimson Moon.
“We could no longer dig into this legend now that the dwarves have declined…”
He sighed.
“Our ancestors once speculated that this prophecy might be a legend made up by one of our sages to gather dwarves.”
“Father… It might be difficult to wake him up.”
Bitterness filled his eyes as he said this.
The dwarves had yet to find any hope after several years of anticipation and search.
The once-powerful dwarves had become the weakest race with the passage of time.
The faith that supported them in their hearts had long collapsed.
Those who firmly believed in the prophecy left behind by the dwarf god had become an absolute minority…
They could not afford to waste any more time.
Richard looked into the man’s eyes, his words heavy.
“No, this prophecy is not a lie…”
It shocked the old dwarf.
He widened his eyes and looked at the stalwart figure in disbelief.
“Lord, you, are you telling the truth?!!!”
His voice trembled so much that it was hard to hear him.
In the hall, the dwarves who didn’t dare to open their mouths also breathed rapidly. They stared at the ruler who sat on the golden throne with an unparalleled aura.
They waited for the judge to announce their fate.
Richard nodded.
“You are not worth lying to me.”
“I have confirmed that the Crimson Moon will rise soon.”
If someone else had said this, even Sel Bloodhoof of Bloodhoof City, the new underworld overlord, the dwarf would not have believed it.
However, the person who said this was the true ruler of the underground world.
A great existence that single-handedly wiped out the gray-colored dwarves.
His reputation was so vast that even ten Bloodhoof cities combined couldn’t compare to him.
The dwarf immediately became excited.
“Wuwuwu… The legend is true!”
“Praise you, the great ruler of Twilight City! ”
“I swear this is the best news I’ve ever heard!! ”
“Excitement continued…”
The old dwarf was even more excited than he could control himself.
Tears flowed uncontrollably because of the wrinkles on his face.
It made one feel inexplicably sad.
The old dwarf’s millions of years of expectation, the legend they had no longer hoped for, was true… Their protector would reappear!
At this moment, the emotions in his heart were so complicated that words could not describe them.
After a long time, the group of people gradually recovered.
The old dwarf seemed to have thought of something and suddenly woke up. He stepped onto the golden steps and respectfully handed the statue to Richard.
“Great Ruler, please control the fate of the dwarf race.
“We will fight to the death for your glory!”
The other dwarves looked at the old dwarf’s actions and felt unwilling.
Many people even thought about living and waited for the dwarf god to revive… However, his senses quickly returned when he saw the mechanical puppets around him.
They had no choice now.
Their fate was no longer in their hands when they joined Twilight City.
No, from the moment the dwarves could no longer activate their bloodline, they had already lost the power to control their fate…
