Chapter 709: The Battle of Myths

Several days later, King's Landing.

To test something, Viserys once again ventured into the dungeons beneath the Red Keep.

Once, Rhaenys led the Golden Company to conquer King's Landing. After capturing the Red Keep, she had the dragon bones, which were stored in the dungeons, moved back to the surface.

However, after Viserys arrived in King's Landing, these dragon bones were returned to the dungeons. The reason being that seeing these bones daily affected one's mood.

Now, Viserys sat surrounded by dragon bones. In front of him was a statue of the Faceless God, a massive white raven skull, with Myles Toyne and Jon Connington by his side.

Viserys had long wanted to unlock the secrets of this raven skull. But he hadn't had the chance until recently, when he had ample free time and was in his best condition. Only then did he dare to attempt to uncover the mysteries of this raven skull.

"Are you sure about this?" Myles Toyne asked, his voice heavy with concern. On the other side, the soul of Jon Connington floated nearby, also showing signs of worry.

Having been aided by Viserys's divine flame, Jon Connington felt that as long as Viserys's flame didn't extinguish, he would never fade. Once, Jon couldn't sense the presence of divinity. But now, with Viserys's help, he could feel the terrifying power contained within the raven skull.

"Is it truly the skull of the Storm God?" he pondered. "Is the Storm God an ancient raven?"

Unfortunately, no one could answer his questions. Everyone present wasn't a true deity. Myles Toyne was the closest, but he was merely a divine thought.

Compared to the two, Viserys seemed much calmer. The power within the raven skull was immense, and accordingly, his expectations were high.

"What could it be?" he wondered.

Then, the faith flame in Viserys's forehead ignited, and he placed his hand on the white raven skull.

Suddenly, a golden light illuminated the entire underground world of the Red Keep. This startled Rhaenys, who had just entered the dungeon. The brown-haired girl stared in disbelief at the dazzling scene before her, even forgetting to breathe.

Meanwhile, Viserys was immersed in the world of the white raven skull, oblivious to the outside.

Before him was a sky covered in dark clouds, and below, a raging sea. He seemed to be floating in mid-air, overlooking everything.

The wind howled, waves roared, and lightning filled the sky as a torrential rain poured down.

"Where am I?" Viserys wondered, looking up at the oppressive sky and then down at the furious sea. However, he remained calm, knowing that everything he saw was just a remnant of the past and not a current event.

Suddenly, a sharp cry pierced through the clouds, overshadowing the thunder. A flock of black ravens broke through the clouds, diving towards the tumultuous sea.

"It's that raven," Viserys noted, spotting a raven significantly larger than the others. Its eyes blazed with anger, its feathers sharp as blades, and it let out a deafening cry.

"It's furious," he observed. "Who is it fighting?"

As Viserys pondered, a loud roar emerged from the sea, making the already violent waves even more tumultuous. He quickly looked towards the sea.

A massive sea creature, covered in cold scales with a long fin on its back, emerged. Its red eyes were filled with madness, seemingly challenging the storm and thunder-wielding giant raven above.

"What is that?!" Even Viserys, who had seen many wonders, was taken aback by this mythical battle.

The sea creature was enormous, easily hundreds, if not thousands, of meters long.

Compared to it, the raven, which was the size of a calf, seemed less significant.

"Could it be the Drowned God?" Viserys wondered, witnessing this mythical battle. He speculated about the creature's identity.

In the faith of the Ironborn, the Drowned God and the Storm God are eternal enemies. If the raven was the Storm God, then its opponent must be the Drowned God.

"Is the Drowned God a sea dragon?" he pondered. "No, more accurately, it seems like a giant sea serpent."

The creature had cold scales and marine features like fins, but it didn't have wings and remained submerged, suggesting it couldn't fly.

Viserys forced himself to remain calm and think. At first, he associated the creature with dragons from his memory. However, upon closer inspection, they only looked similar on the surface.

This creature was more of a giant sea serpent than a sea dragon.
