God's Eyes (Web Novel)chapter 990: desperation of a mother

Unmoving, Jason simply watched with wide eyes as his mind was rattling, and going through all possibilities.

He questioned himself how high the probability was that the Queen knew about the Black Dragon's 'secret' plan to lure all of them to a specific place to devour them, and the fact that the beast had just been hiding its true strength until now.

It was unlikely for her to know everything, but if the Queen figured out something early enough, the perfect timing she had just showcased would have been the maneuver of a genius.

'She…really knew about it? And still, she sacrificed the Dragon mother for her plan to succeed?'

Somehow, this thought bothered him, to the extent that he was furious.

It was unlike him, but oddly enough, exactly what his mindset was like.

Under normal circumstances, Jason could be said to have a twisted sense of justice.

He was fine with killing all kinds of beasts without mercy.

However, the moment he felt sympathy for someone, everything changed at once.

Jason was not even unlikely to take things personally.

But even after thinking about the situation ahead, he understood that the Queen had waited for the perfect timing, when she could be sure that nothing would go wrong.

Unable to trust the other Demi-Gods, she had let them mercilessly kill each other and accepted their involuntary sacrifice before making a move.

Even if it felt oddly sad to Jason, he had to agree that it was the best decision the Queen could have taken.

After all, she was not unparalleled, or strong enough to face four Demi-Gods head-on and subdue them simultaneously.

She was bound to struggle in the fight against the Black Dragon too, and only her great observation skills that she had honed over a century, followed by meticulous preparations, allowed the Queen to feel confident in defeating her opponent.

Jason understood this, but looking at the Dragon mother, who was hanging onto her dear life, he couldn't help but feel frustrated.

His Emperor Eyes was staring straight at a specific spot on her abdomen.

He was able to perceive two immature eggs of a True Dragon.

The two eggs were shrouded in a faint film of Draconic Eylrium, the energy that True Dragons were wielding and cultivating.

However, Jason quickly noticed that the Draconic Eylrium was dispersing, caused by the Dragon mother's rapid loss of her life force.

She was struggling to continue supplying her eggs with her energy and nourishment, which they desperately required to give them the chance to hatch and see the world.

The Dragon mother knew that she wouldn't be able to witness the birth of her own younglings, but as long as they were able to survive, this was fine with her.

Unfortunately, even the survival of her eggs seemed to be in great danger.

A long time ago, she had noticed that the two little eggs were mutants, which made them out of the ordinary, and special.

This was why it had taken them five centuries to reach the point at which they were ready to be released into the wide world, even if it was just in the form of simple eggs!

Jason had also noticed that the two dragon eggs were different from all the eggs of beasts he had ever seen before.

And this even included the eggs of the Earth Dragons.

As such, Jason had seen the eggs of Dragons before, even if it was only once.

"They will die…" Jason mumbled the obvious with a sour expression as his attention was completely drawn away from the fight ahead.

The Queen and the Black Dragon had just begun to fight as the raging energies flooded the surrounding, overwhelming the other beings that had dared stay behind and observe their epic face-off.

But that was under the circumstance that anything on the continent had survived the destruction that the war between the Demi Gods had caused in the first place.

While the two Demi-Gods were fighting for the right to reign Lyina all by themselves, the Dragon mother started to writhe and twitch in pain.

She was a True Eradica Dragon, and was several hundred meters long, resembling the mighty beasts vividly described in the folklore of eastern dragons, with purple scales covering the majority of her body.

Only her round and a bit puffed-up belly was covered with white scales, pointing out a recessive mutation that she had undergone.

Her eyes were now of a dark blueish color, had once shone in a bright and vigorous sky blue tone.

However, the most important about the Dragon mother was the fact that a huge part of her neck had been bitten off.

It was a gruesome sight as a steady stream of blood ran down the wound, all the way through her feet before soaking the soil red.

Despite the agonizing pain, the Dragon mother was unwilling to give up her life, not until she knew that her babies would survive.

Jason was impressed by the willpower the dragon mother showcased.

Any kind of living being would have been dead by now, but the Eradica Dragon in front of him had an unbending will.

As such, Jason, who felt drawn toward the situation on the ground, descended.

His soul world was drawn to the corpses of the two Demi-Gods, and the same was the case with his Celestia bloodline.

'So it is true that the essence of True Dragons can enhance the True Soul Awakening?' Jason thought to himself while reciting the words that had been written in a book he read not too long ago.

[The body of a True Dragon is invaluable. Those who are in possession of one shall make use of it.]

It sounded rather crude when he first read this, but Jason could clearly sense the familiar pull and sharp tug he was already familiar with.

As such, he knew that the words he had read once were certainly true.

For beings at a lower cultivation base, each part of a dragon was truly considered invaluable.

Their blood could nourish the constitution of any kind of being.

Similar effects could be found by consuming the organs of dragons. Even their tears were invaluable according to numerous legends.

However, owing to the rarity of True Dragons, even Primordials had not hunted them to provide invaluable resources for their younger generation.

But at the harrowing sight of two dead True Dragons, and one Dragon mother who was on the brink of death, while trying to give birth to two new True Dragons, Jason was not exactly sure how they could be considered a commodity that someone would just rip to pieces to make use of for selfish gains.

Yet, just as his mind was muddled with these infuriating thoughts, Jason sensed a weak, and almost untraceable thread of energy that barely reached him.

[...Cele…-stia…Please…I be..g you…save them!]

It was a desperate call for help, and the last wish of a dying mother.

Her eyes that had lost most of their vigor turned towards Jason as a single tear trickled down her long snoot, followed by the last traces of energy that left her body as she succumbed to her injuries.

[Please…..]
