Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 237 The Development of the Underground World

Warwick's wolf fangs were so sharp that they tore through Agred's dragon scales and pierced into his flesh, which surprised Agred. Warwick had actually broken through his skin defenses!

Argreed immediately stopped playing around and used his dragon claw to break through Warwick's protective divine power, piercing his chest. The intense pain did not make Warwick loosen his jaws. Seeing this, Argreed reluctantly withdrew his dragon claw, after all, he did not intend to kill Warwick. So Argreed painstakingly pried open Warwick's wolf mouth, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Warwick's pure white wolf fur suddenly stood up and turned into sharp arrows that pierced towards Argreed.

Agreed hadn't expected the giant wolf, who had been wrestling with him just a second ago, to suddenly turn into a hedgehog and be caught off guard by the attack. However, the blow didn't actually hurt him, but Agreed was in real pain. He had been holding back at all times, but Warwick was beating him to a pulp. So, to stop taking the beating, Agreed had no choice but to unleash his divine power to amplify himself. In an instant, Agreed's strength completely overwhelmed Warwick, and in the blink of an eye, the disobedient little white wolf was violently suppressed and pinned to the ground.

Argreed gripped Warwick's mouth tightly with his dragon claws, restricting his movements and preventing him from breaking free. Then, Argreed's soul energy permeated Warwick's brain, and Argreed's voice echoed continuously in Warwick's mind, trying to awaken his consciousness.

"Divinity is the most fundamental desire in your heart, the most essential manifestation of life. Do not run away from it; acknowledge it, acknowledge the existence of another self, accept it, and you can master it. Right now, my child, you will accept your evil and darkness, your justice and light, and become a true... God!!"

This tranquil energy instantly calmed Warwick's turbulent soul. In that moment, he understood that Warwick was no longer trying to fight against divinity; he was beginning to accept it, possess it, become it, and ultimately control it.

The giant wolf's eyes gradually regained their clarity. He stopped wrestling with Agreed and gradually calmed down. Agreed sensed these changes and slowly released his grip. He knew that the child understood what he meant and from this moment on, he had truly embarked on the path to godhood by inheriting the divine status of the wolf god 'Fenrir'. However, the divine status of a nature god is not so easy to inherit. The divine status of a nature god is not something that can be obtained by chance like a god of faith. To inherit the divine status of a nature god, one must have a divine body, a divine soul, and divine power. All three are indispensable, and each requires arduous training and talent.

Warwick stood up and adjusted to his new werewolf form for a while. Then, under his control, he gradually transformed back into his werewolf form. Agreed leaned closer and asked, "How does it feel?"

Warwick clenched his fist and replied, "I feel full of power, but there's also a strange hunger."

Agreed took out an energy block he had prepared beforehand, threw it into his mouth, and said, "Eat it. According to my calculations, it should fill your stomach temporarily. You still have a long way to go."

Warwick swallowed the energy cube without hesitation, then obediently nodded and said, "Okay, I will try my best, Master."

Agreed said somewhat helplessly, "Can you stop being so stubborn? Don't just focus on cultivation, it'll ruin your brain. You actually need more time to settle down and accumulate experience. Enjoy life more and don't push yourself too hard. What if you overwork yourself?"

Warwick replied woodenly, "I understand."

Agreed could only mutter to himself with a speechless and helpless expression, "No! You definitely didn't understand. How can you be considered to have understood anything?! Now I can really understand what Professor Presidium was in back then."

But there's nothing Agreed can do about these things; he can only leave it to fate and hope Warwick can figure it out himself. This son... no, this subordinate is really giving him a lot of trouble.

Afterwards, Agreed escorted Warwick back to his camp. Then, Agreed went to the grey dwarf city in the underworld, which was now managed by the Minotaur. The grey dwarf city was responsible for all the heavy industry in Agreed's territory. Basically, all metal products and weapons were forged in this city. Therefore, if there was a city that was most important to him, Agreed would choose this city without hesitation. For this reason, Agreed paid special attention to the happiness index of the grey dwarf artisans in this city and the inheritance of forging skills.

The grey dwarves of this city enjoy the best welfare benefits, with a full range of entertainment facilities, as well as recuperation places such as foot baths, physiotherapy, and hospitals, and complete medical facilities. Because they do the heaviest and most frequently injured work, Agreed naturally arranged these things for them. However, the grey dwarves don't seem to think so, and they have erected a statue of Agreed on their own and worship it every day like his fanatical followers. This makes Agreed sigh again that these kids used to have such a hard life.

Minotaur quickly invited Agreed's clone into his residence. Agreed looked at this minotaur chieftain, who, despite his weathered appearance, still exuded youthful vitality and whose strength far surpassed that of his former self, and said with some satisfaction, "You have indeed lived up to my expectations, Minotaur. You are the one among these people who gives me the least trouble. You are honest and clear-headed, and I don't need to interfere with you at all, whether in terms of strength or anything else."

Minotaur knelt down and replied, "Master, you flatter me. This is all I should do."

Agreed took out a set of armor and said, "I should have rewarded you with some strength this time, but I feel that your body is more suited to the bloodline of the Black Dragon Clan, so I plan to plan for you for a while longer. What you see before you is the new armor I have made for you, the 'Power Armor'. It can fit snugly against your joints, and the runes and jet devices on your back can greatly increase your burst speed. At the same time, it is engraved with the strongest magic array I can muster. You can throw away that old armor or give it to your subordinates. Consider this my new reward for you."

The Minotaur respectfully accepted the armor, and after Agreed exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, he left the dungeon and then traveled to the Underdark.

The Underdark is now under Roland's administration. The most acute issue of gender rights here has gradually faded under Agred's coercion and enticement over the years. If you ask which territory under his command is the most troublesome, Agred would definitely choose this place without hesitation. After all, the foundation here is really too poor and the environment is not good either. If it weren't for the many rare mineral deposits and unique value here, Agred would have sent the drow elves away long ago.

However, Agred also continuously transferred high-quality resources and facilities from above to this area and built them according to the characteristics of the Underdark. After all, both are equally important and one cannot be favored over the other. The Drow elves live in harsh environments in the Underdark, so he cannot be careless in terms of infrastructure. In fact, the infrastructure in the Underdark is even better than that of the first developed Southern Frontier.
