Chapter 275: The Arrival of the Ark, Fight for Custody
“Don’t be like this, Ophelia. I didn’t expect that I would have another child even though I have already become a legend.”

Noah explained helplessly.

“Oh, because the noble Lord of the Holy Dragon believes that he will never have an heir, he can unscrupulously vent his overflowing desires in the harem? I see.”

After hearing the dragon’s explanation, the Archangel nodded calmly without any expression.

“I understand.”

“What do you understand? I don’t have a harem.”

Noah tried to defend himself. Although he knew how pale his words were at the moment, he did not think that he was a licentious and immoral dragon lord.
“I have legitimate relationships with them. I have never controlled or restricted their behavior, nor have I forced them to do anything.”

“So, they all volunteered?”

“of course.”

Noah felt that the conversation was getting weirder, but then Ophelia changed her tone and asked about other things.

“Can I know this sister’s name?”

“Agnes, she is a golden dragon.”

Noah took the initiative to introduce himself, saying that there was no point in hiding it.

The angel that escorted Eliade here has never left and is still active in his territory, but has used Transfiguration to disguise himself slightly.

“Golden Dragon, I see.”

The archangel’s facial expression changed. Before Noah could figure it out, he heard the angel companion say directly,

“Iliad has lived with you for many years. I will be the one raising and taking care of him for the next period of time.”

“Why? He lives very happily with me. Do you think I will ignore him just because a golden dragon descendant is born?”

When Noah heard Ophelia’s request, he was suddenly at a loss. The reaction of his angel companion was somewhat beyond his expectations.

“As a mother, am I not capable of taking care of my own child? I have not really seen him since he was born. Is what I am asking for so excessive?”

The Archangel’s series of questions left Noah speechless. However, Noah still raised his objection.

“You are fighting a war of salvation. The living environment is too dangerous and not suitable for a child who has not yet grown up.”

“The war is over.”

“It has ended?”

Noah was a little surprised.

“Yes, it’s over. I failed. I failed to save the world. I can only sit back and watch the world fall into the abyss.”

Ophelia’s tone remained calm, but Noah could feel the decadence and frustration that this angel companion was trying hard to suppress and conceal.

He knew how much Ophelia wanted to save that world that was filled with despair and death, but the final result was still not what she wished, and the world finally fell into the abyss.

This was an inevitable outcome, as Noah had already seen clearly. After all, although his angel companion was not weak in strength, commanding an army of angels, or even driving the Ark of the Savior, was not enough to save the plane world that was severely eroded by the abyss.

All Ophelia can do is to preserve the spark of life in this world. If she can do this, she will be considered successful. As for saving the world, it is an impossible task for both her and the legion she commands.

Therefore, her goal of saving the world was doomed to failure. All she could do was preserve the spark of life, which she had already accomplished and done well.

However, this arrogant angel companion obviously did not think she had done a good job. She did not think she had fulfilled her duties, just as she was unwilling to admit that she did not have the ability to save the world.

This cannot be blamed on her. It can only be said that it was the arrangement of heaven, or in other words, the fate of this world was already determined the moment the appointment from heaven was handed down to her.

Everything was arranged. Unless a miracle happened, there was no possibility of saving the plane where Ophelia descended. Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.

“You’ve done a great job.”

“I don’t need your comfort. I just want to see my child and be responsible for his growth and education for the next period of time. Do you have any questions?”

“No.”

At this point, Noah had nothing else to say but to nod in agreement.

However, although Noah expected Ophelia to come to pick up his children, he did not expect that Ophelia would drive the Savior’s Ark directly in.

When this celestial city of creation, which was so huge that it could not be surpassed, appeared in the sky above the eastern border of the Zealandia continent, many creatures living on the earth and even the extraordinary professionals had not yet reacted to what was happening.

Because in the eyes of those creatures who noticed the abnormality in the sky, this savior’s ark was nothing more than a huge spot of light dotted high in the sky. However, looking up at the sky from the ground, this spot of light was far larger than the sun and more eye-catching.

The legends at the pinnacle of the extraordinary could feel the infinite dangerous aura, oppression and shock contained in this creation that quickly transformed from a spot of light into a ball of light.

“Hahaha, the East Territory again?”

“It’s been less than a hundred years, and another disaster has come?”

“What bad luck! We in the West are luckier!”

“This is what happens when you only believe in false gods and don’t pray to the gods.”

“This is a punishment from the gods. Howl, you unbelievers!”

The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the light it emits has already overwhelmed the Sun’s Savior Ark. It looks like it is coming with ill intentions and is very aggressive.

This has attracted special attention from all corners of the continent and even from more distant overseas lands. In particular, some people in certain lands who believe that the belief in the Holy Dragon is a false god and heresy are gloating over it, believing that this is a punishment from God.

Because the sacred aura emanating from this ball of light is so obvious, it can easily make ignorant believers associate it with their own gods.

However, many believers who believed that it was the manifestation of their own gods knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thinking that it was time for the gods to punish them.

The giant ball of light that covered the sky and made the sun look dim had broken through the clouds and hovered over the city of Elishim, and then never moved again.

When the light lingering outside the Savior’s Ark gradually dissipated, this magnificent God-made object also revealed its true appearance. It was like a God-created city made of crystals and gems, bursting with brilliant light. The towers in the city soared into the clouds, as if to touch the end of the sky, and countless bridges and corridors were like silk ribbons, connecting the towering buildings everywhere.

Inside the ark, there are colorful flowers, holy angels flying up and down, celestial servants walking among them, phoenixes with gorgeous feathers soaring, and sea dragons that make people wonder if they are extinct, swimming in the water circulation system that is like rivers and lakes…

When the Savior’s Ark revealed its true appearance and was able to be seen by ordinary mortals, billions of lives were shocked, regardless of age or status, from legendary to bronze, everyone was shocked.

Because no one has ever seen a divine creation of such a scale, let alone mortals, even legends can only see a corner of the Ark. It is like a sacred continent that stretches between heaven and earth.

The obvious traces of man-made things everywhere make people marvel at the power of the creator and can’t help but kneel down and prostrate themselves. Even the dragon people of the city of Elishim can’t help but feel awe and even panic.

Because apart from Noah, no one knew why the ark came.

The city does not need to do anything, it just needs to lower its height a little bit, and the city of Elisim, which has experienced a hundred years of glory and prosperity, will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

The so-called first city in the eastern part of the Zealandia continent seemed too small in front of this Ark. It was so worldly and petty that it could not even be used for comparison.

Just as the dragon people of Elisim City, the general public from the Holy Dragon Land and the nearby Atlas Kingdom were all terrified by the arrival of the Ark.

A melodious and pleasant sacred hymn was heard from the Ark. The loud and clear singing echoed among the clouds and spread to all corners of the earth. The singing contained prayers for peace and good wishes and greetings to billions of creatures on earth.

Tracing the source of the singing, even mortals with poor eyesight can see that one after another, holy angels with white wings are flying behind them. Their friendly and infectious holy appearance is enough to soothe most people, except for the local lord.

“What do you want to do?”

Noah had seen many big scenes, had faced gods, and had been recruited and even threatened by a main god himself. He originally thought that he could keep his composure, but now he couldn’t hold it anymore.

“Want to take over my territory?”

“I just stopped by to pick up my child.”

The archangel who had already arrived at Noah’s bedroom responded calmly.

“Is it necessary to make such a big scene? You can just send an archangel over.”

It’s not like Noah had never seen the Ark before, but in a world where the earth was shattered, the mountains collapsed, the sky was in chaos, and everything was almost mixed into one, the Savior’s Ark, although extremely shocking, was just that.

But when the Ark entered the normal material world with stable order, a strong sense of oppression suddenly came over it. This was a weapon of war that could destroy the ecology of a continent in a very short time.

“I need my child to have a certain understanding and knowledge of his mother in the shortest possible time.”

Ophelia didn’t care about Noah’s questioning.
“I think this is the best way. He should be willing to leave with me without me forcing him.”

“You went to all this trouble just for such a small matter?”

Noah was speechless. It turned out that the angel was worried that he would seize the custody and not give it to him. At the same time, he was also worried that his son, whom he had raised for more than ten years, would not want to go to heaven, so he simply drove the ark over.
“No need. I’ve already told him that Eliade is a very well-behaved child.”

“mom!”

At this time, a little angel with dragon horns and a dragon tail appeared at the door of Noah’s bedroom. He poked his head out timidly and looked at the six-winged archangel who was confronting his father. There was confusion and uneasiness in his eyes.

Although he was not unfamiliar with this mother through many cross-border communications in the past, this was indeed the first time he had come into contact with his biological mother in real life since he was born.

This familiar yet strange feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable because in his understanding and his father’s description, his mother was trying to save the world, which was a great cause full of glory.

“Iliad, my child!”

The moment this super hybrid of an angel and a golden dragon appeared, the tense and solemn atmosphere that had filled the palace suddenly disappeared. Ophelia, who had been glaring at Noah, had become a smiling and loving mother when she turned around.

“Dad said you were going to take me to heaven?”

“Yes, would you like to go to heaven with your mother?”

Ophelia looked at the child in front of her with a hint of expectation in her eyes. The biggest purpose of her coming with the Ark was to attract her children. No male could resist the temptation of operating the Ark.

“Dad has already told me that I am willing to go, but how long will I stay in heaven?”

Seeing Eliade looking up at her and asking her questions innocently, Ophelia’s breath stagnated. She turned her head and looked at the calm old man who was looking up at the golden dragon embossed on the dome of the palace. Then she turned her head and asked unwillingly,

“If I let you stay in heaven forever, would you be willing?”

“Then I will never be able to see my friends again? Then I don’t want to go to heaven. I want to stay with my father.”

Hearing his mother’s question, Eliade took a few steps back without hesitation, and this action instantly broke through Ophelia’s psychological defense.
“Mom is kidding you. I can build a permanent portal for you. As long as you want, you can travel back and forth between the heavenly world and the material world at any time.”

The angel handed over his trump card. Iliad, who had originally shown resistance on his face, hesitated for a long time before nodding.

“Then I can go to heaven.”

“Go and say goodbye to your friends. After you go to the heaven, you will have a very long period of study. After you have completed your studies, you can return through the gate.”

“Long? How long is that?”

“It will take about twenty years.”

“Twenty years? That’s too long. I don’t want to go.”

When Elijah heard that the study period was so long, he started to make a fuss again. Ophelia had to promise again that she could take him back and forth during the holidays, and only then did she calm the little guy down.

“Are you feeling very proud now?”

While Eliade went to find his friends to say goodbye, Ophelia returned to her cold face and looked at Noah.

“What can I be proud of?”

“He has a deep dependence and attachment to you and this land.”

“Isn’t this a good thing?”
