Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Chapter 234 Dragon Clan

The dark faction was very huge, multiple galaxies with different supreme beings were all over its territory. The number of factions in it was uncountable.

The secrets of the universe are yet to be fully discovered.

Among the sub-faction, there was a particular group, who chased after the secrets of this universe.

Known as the shepherd of the space, this group was not to be looked down upon, many scholars and formidable gods infested this band.

Many were interested as to how world core came to be, whether it was naturally born or was created artificially. And if it was naturally born, just how exactly was it possible? It was not needless interest, finding the answer to this question could open up many ways to grow stronger.

Hence many supported this faction, but unknowingly, a rat had made its way into this group. it was also the one responsible for the information leak, regarding Zick. Mostly, all the information was sold off to the light faction.

Nullifying the bind temporarily was not out of the question at all, with the light faction's support, such a thing was easily achievable.

The gods who were interested in Zick were predictable, it was the gods who were in the igmorous world. They were all ridden with multiple punishments once the world core was taken away by Zick.

These gods searched for Zick with vengeful minds, their only lead to the culprit.

But in the end, they were not even able to track down Zick's shadow. Until the great gods decided to give up a little of their fortune and use the information leaker planted by the light faction. Wasting multiple years doing such a thing made them all decide to do so.

It was simple to deduce what Zick would do once he runs away from that world, it was to turn to the dark faction. There were not many options to choose from to begin with.

And as expected, Zick was in the dark faction and living quite a successful life too. This made gods looking for him feel like their stomach was filled with fire, his progress made them all horrified.

Zick's track record was truly ridiculous. He was already on his way to breaking the record of the fastest progress in history.

They didn't even need to discuss who was the culprit behind their misfortune. According to the information, Zick was already a god by the time he joined the dark faction.

These gods joined hands with other dark races, ruled by the great gods. The bind never stopped them from cooperating with the light faction. As long as their interests were not harmed, nothing mattered.

Like this, the enemies were gathering around Zick, like bees attracted to the flowers.

It was inevitable that a fight would occur around Zick sooner or later. Most people revolved around benefits no matter where, causing them to be attracted to it.

While many hoped for Zick's demise fuelled by their grudge.

...

Back in the dream world, Zick looked at the blue sky above him. His senses spread to the whole world, covering every corner of the world.

The sun slowly vanished into the horizon, as time passed by.

Zick knew the reason for his abnormal growth speed. As it turns out, Lifare skipped a piece of information with menace, she clearly did not think anything good while doing this.

Absorbing too many world cores leads the divinity to deviate, entering a chaotic state. That's right, chaotic, this was the main reason for Zick's sudden rise.

Zick's divinity contained the power of chaos, so what would happen if it turns even more chaotic?

It gets strengthened again!

'That's strange, was I aware of this in the first timeline? I don't think I would skip such important information unless it's an accident. I only received a fragment of my soul, so that is a possibility.' Zick did not linger long in this matter.

Zick was aware of this flaw from a long time ago, he did not believe in everything Lifare said from the very beginning. He had extracted information from Taweir too.

But after understanding the backlash, Zick was immensely delighted. He absorbed the world's core even enthusiastically after that.

The only reason he did not absorb world core continuously was that — It might hurt his potential and cause him to be overloaded.

'Well, I am already overloaded right now, if I absorb even one world core now, My divinity would go out of my control. If that were to happen, for it to adjust a lot of time would be needed.' Zick did not bother training either for now, there was little to gain by doing that.

It was better to look for other ways to strengthen himself. Reaching his current level was the limit of the god profession.

The other route to growing stronger was to create a strong technique or origin spell. Leaving these two, creating a trump card was immensely useful too.

'I have not fought many intense fights in this decade, so most of my trump cards are hidden. I am confident of taking care of any god with them.'

'But the problem is the great gods, there is a high chance of them outright trying to kill me. Taweir doesn't seem to have any interest in helping either.'

'My secret to growing stronger is probably already speculated by gods or great gods with immense knowledge.'

It was not easy to fool others, especially when he was gathering so much attention.

No hope was lost yet though, just like how many are trying to usurp all of Zick's belongings. Some wanted to make connections with him, he had received few messages providing help.

Why would Zick reject something free?

As for those who demanded something in return, they were rejected without any hesitation.

These haughty gods thought that Zick would give up and accept their demands. But they were gravely wrong regarding it.

Still, no great god has extended a helping hand. It was either because they had a tacit understanding with each other, or they decided to take a wait-and-see stance.

'There is nowhere I can run either, really what an annoying place to be in. That is why, living in a hierarchy is so disadvantageous, especially when I am on lower levels, with multiple enemies.'

Zick complained internally but smiled outwards.

Even if Zick ever redo the past, he would take the same action. Living with Demi-god level strength in space was no different than a gamble.

'Hmm?' Wariness passed by Zick's eyes.

The time seems to have frozen as a figure descended through the sky. The man who descended wore a black robe with long sleeves and had two horns on his head, clearly showing his dragon status.

The man's cold vertical eyes met Zick's gaze. There was no animosity between them, they both continued staring at each other expressionlessly. It was like two statues were looking at each other.

'Arrogant, but not a fool I see.' Seeing Zick, not at all pressured by his presence, the man spoke out.

"Zick, I know the way you feel about working below a clan. But, I advise you to judge things calmly. If you come under the dragon clan, you will never have to worry about those weak clans." The man, who was a great god, persuaded Zick with a calm face.

Zick's frantic mind attained serenity hearing the man speak.

'He doesn't seem to have noticed my dragon slayer status. Most likely because of my dragon heart, I guess.'

Sending a great god to Recruit Zick, showed just how much worth he held.

It was probably the best environment for growing stronger with little risk, at least for normal dragons.

There was no telling what would happen if Zick was found out. It would be certain death with no exception.

However, Zick felt joyful internally, he was waiting for this moment for a very long time. He was planning on joining the dragon clan from the very beginning.

Zick had firstly rejected, as he would be treated the same as the other dragons. Giving him a not-so-huge edge above others.

And, Zick wanted to see if he could manage to fend off the attackers by himself, not taking a gamble. In conclusion, it was impossible.

He had long deduced that the sun god and death god would participate in it. There is no way these two would hold back at all.

'I thought for a second that they would not move, and I would have to go there instead, but it ended up alright in the end.'

If either way was a gamble, why not choose the one which can at least let me survive for now?

'Still, I will have to fight off the gods though, the great god would be handled by them....' Zick revealed an expression of deep thought.

The robed man waited for Zick to speak with patience.

In the end, the struggling expression on Zick vanished, and he showed a grim face.

".... Let's talk." Zick invited the man into the mansion.
