Chapter 1540 A Talk With Tiamat

-----
After the announcements, my mother couldn't help but quickly set up a feast. The other Ice Dragons in here, mostly those that have already passed away. Gathered around us, congratulating us. Many of them were unknown by most people. Though I had gotten a good introduction of most from my mother the first time I ever got here. We had a big meal inside of my mother's ice palace in this realm. I added my ingredients and cooked too, everyone was not only celebrating visits, but also the birth of two new Ice Dragons.
We made sure to eat a lot of Demon meat made with my special divine cooking magic to develop more resistance. My Demonic Physique Ability was developing rapidly with each meal of demon meat I had, my plan was to get as much resistance as I could possibly get before the big battle for the Inheritance.
As we all celebrated and ate together, I asked my parents about various things. The first topic of conversation was Benladann and Miranda's ability to regenerate Draconic Energy but having an extremely hard even using it. Unless they forcefully grasp it for some sort of crazy explosive attack, it usually disappears before they can use it properly for good techniques.
"Hmm, I see how it is…" My mother nodded. "Well, as you thought, my son. It is because of their own Records have not been "officially" registered. It is not as if Mother Tiamat is discriminating against them. All Dragons are welcome. Even the "accidental" ones. However, while there's only Ragnar?k, who was already a Light Dragon as the first Chaos Dragon, and Benladann and Miranda as the second and third, who acquired their power off Ragnar?k herself, it is complicated to register them."
"They are connected, the reason why they're here to begin with." Fafnir said. "However, because of the inexistence of the Chaos Dragon Record, the unique power of our Record does not respond to them willingly… It is similar to Ragnar?k herself. I think Grandmother Tiamat cut their connection to the Record so it could be safe for everyone else. The reason why she hasn't entered and attacked us was that. Hmm, I wonder if we could ever talk to her?"
"She has become the core of the Draconic Records, and also is in a state of eternal slumber. However, her Will remains, everywhere within these Realms. She decides the laws and everything else." Nifl said. "Hmm, she usually does not respond to anybody except her daughters though."
"Mother, can you ask her then?" I asked Nifl.
"Okay, I will… try to contact her but, I can't promise you anything." My mother sighed. "She is very pragmatic and won't take favorites or anything. She will not do things just because I ask her either. It has to be something truly important. But let's see."
She closed her eyes, probably speaking through her mind to the core of the Draconic Records. She took a while, ten minutes, and then opened her eyes again.
"Nothing, I assume?" I asked her, before her face looked shocked, her eyes widening.
"No, she… she responded." Nifl said. "Mother Tiamat says that she wants to see the two Chaos Dragons first before taking the decision of creating their Realm."
"Wait, for real?!" Surtr was also surprised.
"Wow! Nice for you two!" Emerald celebrated.
"Hahah, I-I guess. Though now I'm nervous…" Benladann sighed.
"Me too." Miranda groaned. "Do we have to go alone?"
"She said you can bring Drake, nobody else. Not even your children." Said Nifl.
"A-Alright then, let's go." I shrugged. "Mother, father, can you take care of the girls while we're off?"
"Of course, leave them to us." Fafnir nodded.
"That shouldn't even be a question, dear." Nifl smiled. "You two love your grandma, don't you?"
"Grandma big and strong! I like climbing her!" Benladra was climbing her grandma already.
"I'm fine with mama here." Kate said, sitting next to the System's manifestation. Her dragon form was much bigger than her mother, but the System wasn't even intimidated by her draconic form.
"Can you stay here?" I asked her.
"I do have a connection with Kate too, so yes I can." She nodded. "Just go, I'll be waiting you here."
"Alright, thanks." I patted her head with the tip of my large claws, and then, in a split of a second, I was teleported elsewhere. Benladann and Miranda came with me.
FLASH!
From one moment to another, the scenario of the frost palace changed to a world of darkness and stars, and nothing else. There was no ceiling, so we had to fly towards the center of this strange Realm. there was a gigantic shadow in the middle, floating in silence.
"I-Is she Tiamat?" Asked Benladann nervously. "T-The first ever dragon?"
"Yes, she must be." I nodded. "She is the Primordial Mother of Dragons, born from Yggdrasil alongside Ymir."
"Woah…" Miranda gasped.
As we drew closer, we could see her in more detail. She resembled a titanic being, covered on many multi-colored scales. There were nine heads sprouting from her head, each one of a different color, probably representing an element. She had eight arms, eight legs, nine tails, and a titanic body to boot.
I know she was long dead, but even the presence of her Soul alone was incredibly overwhelming. It felt so strong that I thought that at any moment, she could easily squash our souls and kill us if she wanted. Yet although she was intimidating, the only presence I felt from her soul was one of comfort and motherly care.
Her eyes were all closed, until they all opened at the same time, her heads moving around the cosmos surrounding us, glaring down at us as if we were mere ants. Each head had a different expression, probably all her emotions. Some looked angered, others pleased, some worried, others sorrowful, another surprised, and so on.
"Grandmother Tiamat, we've come as you asked." I said, trying to act brave in front of her divine and near incomprehensible presence.
"Dragon King, Drake." Her voice was composed of several echoes clashing against one another, reverberating all across our souls. "Do you have the slight idea of what you've proposed?"
