Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Chapter 2052: A Freebie
-----
"I barely helped?! Hmm, right, you dragons are greedy and like more than just information. Fine. I'll humor you. I haven't done this in a while, take this…"
A white jewel shard slowly descended from the skies, falling into the palms of my hands, it glowed mysteriously, containing the essence of everything and nothing at the same time.
"This is…? A piece of you?"
"Yes! I believe it's very valuable. Do whatever you want with it."
"Whatever I want?!"
"It's a freebie! Your reward for defeating Chaos and Pandemonium! Be happy! Rejoice!"
He spread his arms and began throwing colorful confetti everywhere, and his countless eyes shot colorful laser beams, resembling fireworks.
"With this power… But it's so immense…! Can I even use this without dying?!"
"That's the fun part, we'll find out together. Isn't that exciting?"
"It's not!"
"Oh, you're so picky… I've given you information and a gift, and do you want more? You're really exploitative."
"I don't want anything else from you…"
"Good then! We're done here, Drake. Now go, shoo shoo! I don't have anything else to do with you. Begone!"
He shooed me away as if I was some creature.
This bastard is really playing with me!
I wish I could punch his stupid face.
"Hey, that's not a nice thing to think!"
"Stop reading my mind!"
As I felt the light engulfing me once more, about to take me away from here, I saw his shit-eating grin one last time.
"Do your best, Drake. Please show me that my decision of helping you is not for naught."
FLAAASH!

"Ah!"
I gasped, as I opened my eyes.
After having slept so placidly, to have that damned dream…
"Huh?"
Feeling something in my hand, I slowly sat over the bed, realizing it was morning already in my divine realm.
As the sun shone brightly through the large windows of my palace-like room, I looked at what was in my hands.
A small, apple-sized semi-transparent white jewel.
It shone brightly, reflecting light from the sunlight.
"So it wasn't a dream…"
What I saw in that dream, or well, whatever that was.
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
Let's call it a out of body experience, I suppose.
Well, what I saw there was…
I met Oblivion, from all people that mysterious entity that I've only thought about.
To think he had been watching me all this time, and he was somehow… rooting for me or something?
He went out of his way to warn me of what's coming and even gave me a small fragment of himself.
This fragment, it seems its powers are compressed, or else, the entire divine realm would collapse and disappear before its power.
That man… no, was he even a man? He was a thing.
Although he took an humanoid form and everything… The only thing I felt when I stared him was an "endless being".
An endless being… something that never ends, expanding endlessly, matter, anti-matter, light and darkness.
How could the Ancient Gods summon a normal human and give him such an immense power?!
Or was he weak before and slowly gained such strength?
There's… no way, right?
He even gave me a lot of information of their past, and even hints about the connection with the Quantum Gate and this World, and the Ancient Gods, and who could they have been.
To make things more complicated there are two of them still alive!
I sure hope they don't start making any trouble, I am worried now.
And that isn't even everything, so the battle against Chaos… Ah, of course.
When she distorted the sky and started bringing forth the Chaotic Plane into our Reality…
I saw many cracks spread everywhere, I made sure they disappeared though once the battle ended!
So that means that the damage she caused didn't disappear so easily, even when Yggdrasil and I did our best to patch everything up…
This world… it's collapsing.
And because of its dimensional collapse, a new phenomenon is happening, something that bastard was very excited about, somehow.
The "Dimensional Upheaval" as he called it…
Yggdrasil as a world is collapsing on its own space and time, so the two worlds that it is connected to… Zipangu and Earth, are beginning to be "dragged" with it.
As this happens, probably something with their spatial and temporal energies merges with Yggdrasil, patching her up automatically.
But this'll only cause more chaos, just like when all the realms of Yggdrasil became a single gigantic world, the same thing is happening again?!
And these aren't even all the worlds, he said there was another named Spiritias or something… A "Fragment of Heaven"? What does that even mean?
This guy revealed a lot of important information but left a lot of other things so obscure… And he kept talking about the future, and my bloodline.
Uh…
"Daddy?"
As I thought about it, I heard the voice of my daughter.
"Kate?"
She looked sleepily; her hair was a bit messy as she looked at the jewel in my hand.
"What's that?"
"Ah, this…? Nothing."
I quickly stored it inside my inventory, it was better if this thing was away from the hands of the children.
"Is it late already?"
"Ah, not really… you can keep sleeping for a bit longer if you want."
I patted her little head, as she nodded and quickly cuddled back with her mother.
"Haah…"
As I sighed, grabbing my head, I felt tired.
Whatever, I'll think about it later, I'll sleep more, I need this.
I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.
Whatever was coming, that's for later, my Divine Realm has an even longer time dilation from outside, so I'm fine taking a week off, right?
Yeah…
As I closed my eyes, I felt the crystal inside my inventory, letting out a faint light.
FLASH!
What the hell?
And the jewel appeared in the sky, floating towards my forehead.
"Huh?!"
CRASH!
And it hit my forehead and my skull with immense force.
"GRAACK?!"
I grabbed the jewel with my hand, trying to pull it out…
But it was too late.
