The One Behind Everything
There were two likely scenarios if that egg hit the ground.
Either the unborn python would die because the egg hadn't fully developed into a baby, or the eggshell would shatter forcefully, giving birth to a premature snake with a very weak physical constitution that would be a burden on the battlefield.
Nox didn't think either of these scenarios was favorable, so he activated [Divine Velocity] and charged toward the egg, which was falling in slow motion. It was just inches from touching the ground, but Nox was much faster and grabbed the egg just before it hit.
However, because he was running at the speed of light and wasn't paying attention, the youth slammed into the oak tree, causing the egg to fly out of his arms again.
"Is this egg really hellbent on falling or what?!" Nox was at a loss for words. He was about to make a move again, but someone beat him to it.
