Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System
chapter-1297

Once the night arrived, it was time to say goodbyes. We couldn't really wait until next morning, as we were informed that the waves of the sea constantly change in different patterns over the months, waiting any more seconds would mean we could get lost amidst the seas, and this also includes even traveling on the skies, as these waves and currents in the sea affect the sky by exuding large quantities of divine energy, naturally spread across the entire world.

So, after we were done with the party, we swiftly moved to the gigantic ship made of pure ice waiting for us in the port, Sapphire and everyone else were there to say their last goodbyes. And as my friends and allies slowly walked inside the ship, Sapphire walked to my side, offering me two blue jewels.

"Take them with you, please." She said. "I don't know why you returned these Jewels to me even when you defeated the Deep One and saved our country, Drake." She sighed, handling to me the two Blue Orb Fragments.

"Oh, these things…" I felt slightly surprised. Over all the things that were in my head, I had almost forgotten about them. "Well, there's a reason why I gave them back to you, I thought that they would had been in a better place with you, as they had the power to protect your country."

"No need." Sapphire smiled. "I appreciate your kindness, but I am well aware that you're in a journey to gather them, I know they're important items too, part of Yggdrasil's powers, is it not? Their strength is dangerous, if they stayed with us, another evil might one day attempt to steal them away from us… Dragon King, you're the only one that can safely keep the Blue Orb Shards with you.2

"I see…" I nodded. "Thank you for trusting me to this extent, I'll make sure to protect them."

I held the two fragments, as my own fragments suddenly flew outside of my divine realm and merged with the other two, a flash of bright blue light emerged, covering the surroundings. All four Fragments unified as one and became the Blue Orb.

And that was not all, as another blue orb surged from my soul, this one was transparent and didn't seemed physical at all, melding with the physical form of the Blue Orb, and finally, attaining the Orb's truest form.

FLAAAAASSHHH!!!

It grew several times in size, now being as big as five meters, the sphere of blue colored jewel shone brightly, like a beautiful star above the night skies, as it slowly descended into my hands.

Ding!

[All Four Fragments of the Blue Orb and the Blue Orb's Soul have merged together!]

[The [Mystical Primordial Blue Orb Of Oceans (??? Grade)] has been created anew!]

"The Blue Orb's true form!"

"I can't believe my eyes… is this the true form?!"

"So beautiful and celestial, divine even!"

"Incredible…"

Everyone in the scene watched in shock as the blue orb's true form emerged, it was just as beautiful as I had imagined… However, it seemed to still have more surprises, as the blue orb hovered around on its own volition, as if it had life of its own.

FLUOOOSH!

Suddenly, the Blue Orb exuded a powerful divine aura, transforming. Its aura gathered into a humanoid form, and then materialized itself into the shape of a Divine Entity. It had the shape of a Mermaid, however, her skin was completely blue, with sapphire-like eyes, long pale blue hair, gills, and a long fish-like tail instead of legs, she wore white clothes, and seemed translucent, as if made of pure water.

She glanced around curiously, her size was around five-meter stall, taller than the tallest Ice Giants out there. And she looked around as if confused, yet slightly intrigued, she smiled at everyone around, and then sighed in relief.

"Phew… It has been such a long time since I've been complete…" She sighed in relief. "From being fragmented and used by Odin and his family, to end up in the hands of Chaotic Entities from another world… Sigh, I've really had it hard." She started to whine like she had enough of all the stuff she went through, and quite honestly, I have to agree with her, she had gone through a lot.

"Y-You are the Blue Orb's true form? A person?" I asked. "No… I can sense within you the essence of a spirit and… also divinity. Unlike any other God I've met before, you're a being purely made out of Divine Power and Divine Spirit Power."

"Heh, you've got good eyes. You have my thanks, Dragon King, without the soul you held within your divine realm, I would had been unable to regain my true form!" She smiled, suddenly giving me a hug and then a kiss in my forehead. "Nice to meet you, my name is Aegir, the Primordial Goddess of the Sea and Time!"

"EEEEH?!" Not only I was shocked to the point of screaming, but everybody else did the same thing.

She was not just a mortal that rose into a god-like status by the refinement of mana into divine power… No, Aegir right here was an actual, true goddess, the personification of the seas and time itself. The Orb Fragments were all the pieces of an Ancient, Primordial Goddess of this world!

So the reason why Yggdrasil wanted to recreate them all so badly was because of this, because they're needed to protect this world and heal all of its wounds. And what better starter than the personification of the seas and time, the pillars of the entire world, Aegir.

"A-Are you really a Goddess?!" Sapphire asked.

"Unbelievable!" Rose cried.

"T-There's no way those fragments… were a person…" Coral was shocked.

"By the gods, I feel even worse for having used her fragments…" Anastasia sighed.

"Hehehe, don't worry about it, you guys! Let bygones be bygones! We've all made up, right? Thanks a lot for helping Drake gather my pieces! Now we need to quickly find my siblings!" Aegir instantly began to hurry me up. "Hurry, hurry! I can sense the pieces of my angry big brother Logi to the north! Onwards!"
