Reborn as a DRAGON

"The main world?" The God asked in a puzzled tone, his glowing outer appearance flickered as he walked beside me.

"We have had no contact ever since the attack on the council's plane, Voidwaller," he said with a shake of his head.

The deity then turned his gaze upwards where a group of lesser gods were busy mending the broken space where a barrier once stood, "Hurry up you lazy bastards! The barrier isn't going to fix itself!"

"Is there any point in doing this?" I couldn't help but ask, my voice betraying my thoughts.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" The Deity asked as we continued to walk around the devastating aftermath of the battle.

Dragons were tending to their wounds, Deities were gathering the fallen. With parties regrouping in preparation for the next attack.

"How many times have they raided this world?" I asked.

"Too many to count," He shook his head.

"Everything is already dead," I continued.

"The mortals are dead, the world itself is dead," I said hesitantly.

"That's true," The Deity simply agreed with a nod. It was hard to get a read on his emotions with the bright light surrounding his body.

"So what is it that you are fighting for, exactly?" I asked.

The Deity paused, his body was shorter than mine. It was considerably taller than a mere mortal, but still shorter than me. I could see his head turned upward as he faced me, and I could only assume he was staring right at me.

"Because this place is our home," he said as a matter of fact.

His words caught me by surprise, and for a moment I didn't know what to say. It was a simple reply, really. Though, one I didn't expect. I thought he would say something about th greater good, something about fighting off the traitors…

"Your home… huh," I muttered.

"Yes, our home," he continued with a nod. His head turned to the desolate landscape that stretched before us.

I wasn't sure what this world looked like before, but for now, it was nothing but a ruin of death and destruction.

"And as long as we are still alive, then this place shall be as well," he continued in a low voice.

"You mean, you plan to rebuild this place?" I asked.

"Haha, of course!" His enthusiastic reply caused me to raise my brow in surprise.

"You are awfully optimistic about all of this," I said.

"Not everyone has the power to hop between worlds like you, Voidwalker," he said as we paused before a massive corpse of a fallen Deity.

"For most of us, this place is all we've ever known. It's all we will ever know," he said and gently caressed the fallen body before us.

"I-I understand."

"Thank you for your help. We are forever indebted to you, Voidwalker. Should we survive this purge, this plane is forever at your service," He turned to me and gave me a bow.

"Please raise your head, we are all in this together," I said.

"If you are going back to the main world, you ought to be careful."

"Do you know something?" I asked.

"As I've said, we've lost contact after the attack on the council. But the space around all the planes is in chaos. It's even worse than before. Now, It's hard to tell friends from foes," The Deity shook his head.

"Got it. Well then, I'll be taking my leave," I spoke with a light sigh.

The Deity gave me a nod and turned his head to the sky. His voice suddenly boomed around the world catching me by surprise, "LINE UP!"

At his words, the massive army of Deities suddenly came together in a unified formation. The Dragons stood up and glanced my way with approval.

"Hail the Voidwalker!" The glowing Deity spoke first, and the massive army followed after.

"HAIL THE VOIDWALKER!"

Their unified voices shook the heavens and caused the ground to tremble. The Dragons raised their heads upwards and roared. Feelings of pride swelled inside of me at the sight of it all.

I gave them one final nod before I summoned my cosmic mana and teleported away leaving behind the ruined world along with its surviving inhabitants.

Once I was out in space, I turned my gaze to glance at the planet I'd left behind. The barrier was slowly getting fixed, and I could sense the Dragons, and Gods working together side by side in preparation for the next attack.

'Heh, so Dragons and Deities can get along after all,' I inwardly chuckled.

I then teleported once more and continued on my journey, following the faint tread of cosmic mana back home.

Out here in the vast open space, I was at home. Ever since my body was reconstructed, I could feel the embrace of the cosmos as I swam through space.

I took a moment to regain my bearings and doubled down on my teleportation, crossing large distances with each hop. Occasionally, I would come across faint lights in the distance. Tell signs of battle, but I had wasted enough time.

And so, I avoided all battlefields. A few times, I was ambushed by some Shades, but thankfully, they were nothing much, and I was able to easily take care of them.

'I should be there soon,' I inwardly thought as I closed in on the main world when suddenly I was forced out of my teleportation.

'Ah damn it, what is it this time?' I cursed as I scanned my surroundings.

It didn't take long to figure it out with the help of cosmic mana.

'Come out you bastard, I can see you,' I instantly tried to lock space around a specific area when a strange figure countered my cosmic spell and walked out.

'That's dangerous. So young and already so proficient in handling cosmic mana. This is why pillars are dangerous.'

The figure's voice spoke directly into my mind causing me to frown as I watched it walk through space as if it was on land.

'Who are you?' I asked, but the figure did not reply.

It was covered in the shade's signature dark fog making it somewhat harder to see in space, alas with cosmic mana it was as bright as the day before me.

'You are not leaving this place alive, little pillar. You've already caused us enough problems as it is.'

'I've already died once, I'm not planning on doing that again any time soon.'
