At the same time, Theos' spiritual body became more like a silhouette.
It was because he was frightened.
A second later, Theos snapped at Corra furiously, “You're lying to me! You're definitely lying! The King of Dragons has been dead for a long time! Besides, it may not necessarily be real. Maybe it was just something made up by people.”
Quickly, it responded, “Please calm down, Lord Theos. I wasn't the one saying the King of Dragons has returned. Everyone in the primeval forest is talking about it. As you know, many primordial beasts in the forest have seen it before. Some even served it in the past. I doubt they'd mistake something else for it.”
Theos' mind went blank. I don't want to believe it, but I'd just be deceiving myself. The King of Dragons may have actually returned. I've only fallen asleep for a few short days, yet so many changes have occurred on Theos Island.
After composing himself, Theos uttered, “I'll judge for myself after leaving here whether it really is the King of Dragons. Now, tell me about the other individual who killed Minotaur. What's his deal?”
Hastily, Corra disclosed everything it knew about Zeke to Theos.
In summary, it talked about how Zeke had united the Contubernium's district soon after he stepped onto the island. Then he barged into Centuria's district, unified it, and took over the Legions.
It also mentioned Zeke had recently annexed North and South Camp, effectively becoming the new owner of Theos Island.
Theos was further incensed. I can't believe this random guy seized centuries of my hard work soon after I slumbered! Damn him! I'm going to kill him! Who the heck is he? Why is he so powerful? Why did he come to Theos Island?
Suddenly, a figure popped into his mind. Could that person be Eurasia's Great Marshal, Zeke Williams? Did he come all the way here to rescue Lacey? It's very likely.
Coldly, he spat, “Zeke must've come here to rescue Goddess. Hmph! She's a descendant of my race, while you're just a commoner! You're not allowed to touch her! I won't let anyone covet her, my source of the Gods' bloodline. You will die, Zeke! Corra! Return to the primeval forest and continue to collect information there. Most importantly, keep an eye on the King of Dragons. If it does anything major, I want to know about it immediately.”
“Understood!” replied Corra.
