World System Among Gods novel Chapter 12

Hera, who is left like that, isn’t offended at all. In silence, she admires the figure of her master. Not wanting to disappoint Ares, she immediately does what he ordered her to do.

Continuing to dart northward, Ares finally found a cave with a very dark and very intimidating aura. The mouth of the cave is covered in vines, which adds to the mysteriousness of the cave that he just discovered.

"System, is this the cave you're referring to has a pure darkness elemental core?" Ares asked the system, and it is the system that shows him the existence of the mysterious cave.

“Inside the cave, there is a pure darkness element core, but inside there are also two powerful beings that inhabit the cave.”

“How strong are those two creatures?” He tried to look inside the cave, but it was too dark, and he saw nothing.

“The strength of the two of them, when combined, will be equivalent to Ashur’s power.”

“Instead of killing them, I suggest you subdue them and make them your vassals. They are still young and can be even stronger in the future.”

"What kind of creatures are they?" Ares mumbled, which is naturally heard by the system.

“They are two dark dragons, the true descendants of the Dark Dragon King who died thousands of years ago.”

"Dragons? Aren't they just myths? And again, in the memory I received, dragons have wiped out thousands of years ago after the war between the entire dragon kingdom."

“Hundreds of thousands of dragons and their kings have indeed perished. But there are still hundreds of young dragons in this world, and among them are several Dragon Princes. The dragons who survived and lived until now, that's because when there was a war, they were still in the form of eggs. Dragon eggs are renowned for the strength of their shells and would not break even if burned with eternal fire."

"It means that in this world, there are still dragons in this world, and two of them now are in the cave."

"Master is right. Even if it's said to be a young dragon, at least they're over 100 years old, and one of them is level 1200."

“Even their level is above mine. How can I subdue and make them my subordinates?”

"It is effortless. Master only needs to subdue and master the pure darkness elemental core in the cave. If the master succeeds, they will naturally follow the master because the essence of the pure darkness element belongs to the Dark Dragon King, who is none other than their father. If you fail, you must fight and conquer them head-on.”

“Master, your chance of winning doesn't reach 10% if you fight them. It's only death if you fight them now, and again you have to do everything by yourself."

"This is difficult; stepping forward means I'm dying. Get out of here and prepare; I might be overtaken by someone else." Ares continued to think. But because he liked a challenge, he finally decided to go forward and started stepping into the cave.

"If I fail, I may die. But otherwise, if I succeed, I will have a lot of advantages." Ares’ thoughts.

"Fight, sir."

"Interesting, he seems to know who I am," he said.

"Brat, you are quite interesting. Besides having the white fire element, I don’t expect you to know who I am. It seems the dragon nation's prophecy is true." a sentence came out of Dorgan's mouth, enough to confuse Ares.

"A prophecy?" he said in a questioning tone.

Dorgan nodded his head. "I only know the prophecy from the memories my father left behind. If you want to know the prophecy's content, you should be able to absorb the pure darkness element my father left behind." He emitted a black ball of light with an aura that was so pure and holy.

"The demon race usually possesses darkness aura and elements, but their aura and elements are just impurities resulting from the filtering of the power of the dark dragon race. The dark dragon aura comes from the pure darkness element. Master this element, and you will get many advantages. If you fail, I can at least eat some fresh meat today."

"Gluck...." Ares swallowed his saliva while receiving the ball full of the dark aura Dorgan gave him.

"Master, you can simply sit in meditation and absorb the darkness element core that is in the sealed ball."

The orb in Ares’ grasp is a sealed ball. The sealed ball is one of Ares's many tools to store or fill power. Getting a hint from the system, he immediately sits down and takes a meditative stance. He puts his legs crossed and a black ball in front of him.

"Master, you only need to stand up and say 'absorb', then the darkness element core will automatically be absorbed into your body and flow through the mana stream. The element's centre in the master's body will also automatically form the dark element core. But if you want to do some meditation, reckoning to rest since you’ve been working so hard lately."
