Chapter 315: The Three-Eyed Raven

Dany was furiously scolding Little White for being unfilial, while Big Black, already in dragon-spirit form, seemed to understand the peril she was facing.

A firm determination flashed across his blood-red eyes in an almost human expression. He lowered his massive head completely to the ground and closed his eyes. In the next moment, Dany's voice abruptly ceased. Inside the soul-space of azure blue, a massive nine-colored sun suddenly came hurtling from the heavens—like a meteor the size of the sun crashing into Earth's atmosphere.

Logically, such a massive "celestial body" shouldn't have been able to enter Dany's sea of consciousness—just like a 1-liter bottle can't hold 2 liters of water. Forcing it in would surely rupture the container.

Yet, Dany didn't feel the slightest pain or tearing. On the contrary, it felt as pleasant as basking in the sun on a garden lawn in spring—warm and comforting.

Then, she realized that this nine-colored sun was in fact Big Black's vortex of nine-colored sorcery.

Big Black had voluntarily sent his vortex of sorcery into Dany's sea of consciousness, and it was swiftly moving toward her own nine-colored meditation rune.

It felt as natural and inevitable as a traveler returning home—just like the time when Dany's meditation vortex had expelled Big Black's phantom vortex. The immense nine-colored vortex, vast enough to block out the sky, fused effortlessly into the "small" vortex.

Large and small, Big Black and Dany's magical foundations, like their souls in dragon-spirit form, merged together perfectly.

In an instant, terrifyingly powerful sorcery erupted from Dany's body. She became like a black hole for fire elements, attracting them from the cosmos. A layer of blood-colored flame-like elemental armor formed around her—her sorcery had become tangible.

"This…" Dany looked down at her blood-red elemental armor covering her hands, clenched her fists tightly, and murmured, "I can ignite this world."

BOOM—A heavily branched apple tree two meters away suddenly burst into flames, as if doused in gasoline and set alight with a match.

This was the second level of fire control—gathering fire elements to ignite natural matter.

Once, even when Lisbon exhausted his power and sweated profusely, he could only ignite a tiny bean-sized flame on Tyrion's beard.

Even half a day ago, Dany could only light candles, oil lamps, or fireplace logs from a distance.

But now, like Melisandre, she could ignite a four-to-five-meter-tall apple tree with just a glance.

"I can be this powerful?!"

"Compassion. Duty. Honor. Faith."

"Compassion. Duty. Honor. Faith."

"Compassion. Duty. Honor. Faith."

As the exhilarating surge of power began to subside, Dany heard a soft chant echoing around her.

It was like a grand choir—a high-pitched male voice leading dozens, even hundreds or thousands, of boys and girls who echoed his words with their youthful, clear voices, singing sacred verses deep within Dany's soul.

"Go to the North. Go to the Wall. That is where your duty lies. Go to the North. Go to the Wall. Help the people there. Show your compassion. Go to the North. Go to the Wall. Honor is with you. Stay in the North. Stay at the Wall. The people need you."

"To protect the people of the Seven Kingdoms is the Queen's only faith!"

The whispers repeated endlessly, like a recording on loop, like brainwashing a prisoner, like countless fine threads winding tighter and tighter around her heart, forming a thick cocoon.

"The Old Gods' whispers? Heh... Impressive. Caught me off guard," Dany chuckled darkly with her head bowed. The blood-red elemental armor flared into towering flames, twisting above her into the shape of a roaring dragon.

"Begone—!"Her sorcery exploded outward. A crimson shockwave burst from her body, rippling in all directions.

CRASH—The withered apple tree shook violently, as if someone had kicked its roots. Fallen leaves on the ground whirled and scattered.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—Several dried fruit trees erupted in orange flames, crackling and burning.

Caw caw!Dany's silver hair flowed wildly, her glowing red eyes flashing with black-red shadows. A crow with blood-red eyes and black feathers clawed its way out of her eye, like a cormorant leaping from the surface of a still lake.

Caw caw!One after another, her pupils became portals to another world. Crows the size of ducks flew out in single file from her eyes.

Caw caw caw caw...

Where Superman's eyes shoot red-hot lasers, Dany's eyes emitted a stream of crows. Within moments, the dusk-lit sky filled with hundreds, even thousands, of crows flapping and circling in flight.

Screee—!Little White lifted his head and roared in fury.

As more crows flew out from her eyes, the whispers in her ears gradually faded.

It was like thousands of candles had been lit across a dark land—tiny flames that stood out starkly against the gloom.

Now, one by one, those candles were extinguished. As the world returned to its deep, solemn darkness, Dany felt an unprecedented peace and clarity.

Huff... huff...She gasped for breath, exhaustion washing over her like the tide, wave after wave.

Caw!Before Dany could make another move, the crows circling overhead began to explode one by one, silently bursting into thick black smoke—like drops of ink dispersing in a basin of clear water.

Gradually, more than two thousand crows all exploded, and the gray-white sky darkened, forming a massive face.

It was as large as a football field—with a nose, a mouth, and an eye.

What caught Dany's attention was that it had only one right eye, glowing with a blood-red light.

"Daenerys."The black mask-like face spoke. The voice was identical to the high-pitched male voice leading the earlier chant. Without a doubt, Dany instantly knew—this was the one behind it all.

But... when did Bran lose an eye?

Could it be that she blinded his left eye in the future?

No, that doesn't make sense. Since when has the Dragon Queen ever been so merciful?

Given what he did today, if she really had the power to take revenge in the future, she'd tear him apart limb from limb. Blinding one eye would be far too kind.

Or maybe... Bran becomes her equal in the future?

"What's this state you're in?" Though curious, the one-eyed, black-faced man's voice was as cold and indifferent as a frigid mountain stream.

"Never seen a pay-to-win player before? I'm in 'cheat mode,'" Dany shot back with a cold smile. Then she countered, "And who are you supposed to be? The Green Seer?"

"Cheat mode? What kind of state is that? Your sorcery suddenly spiked a hundredfold, and there's even a trace of divinity. It's strange," said the dark misted face, a flicker of confusion flashing across it.

Then he added, "I am the Green Seer, and also the guardian of this continent."

"Since when did Westeros have a guardian?" Dany was puzzled. "Has the Green Seer always been guarding the Seven Kingdoms?"

"The Green Seer isn't necessarily a guardian, but I personally chose to dedicate my life to protecting the peace of the Seven Kingdoms. That makes me a guardian."

"Daenerys, I mean you no harm. I only hope to help you walk the right path and become the next guardian of the Seven Kingdoms."

"To twist someone's will is the greatest form of malice!" Dany sneered, her tone sharp. "Guardian of the Seven Kingdoms? Look around! The kingdoms are in chaos, war has plagued the land for years, lives are ruined, winter is coming and there's no food in store. Morality, honor, tradition—they've all been thrown away. If this is the result of your guardianship, then it's pathetic!"

"I haven't interfered with anyone's choices except yours. I'm a guardian, not a babysitter. Most of the time, I only observe and don't intervene.

But you are different. Your thoughts, your stance, your decisions—they can effortlessly influence countless lives.

Daenerys, I have no selfish intentions. I only want to help you become a good person, a better person, and in doing so, help make this decaying world a better place."

If he hadn't said all that, Dany might have been able to suppress her resentment and keep talking.

But now, hearing this bastard sincerely preach to her about becoming a better person, Dany could no longer hold back. Her rage surged, fueling her magic as fire elements rose into the sky like burning clouds and surged toward the black mask.

At the same time, she threw back her head and let out a piercing howl, launching a soul attack in her strongest state: "Demon! Prepare to die!"

...Even in this moment, she reflexively slapped a massive label of evil onto her enemy.

"Fwoooosh—Hiss—"Under the darkening twilight sky, a blood-red pillar of flame suddenly shot upward, mixed with a powerful soul impact, surging three thousand feet into the air. The black masked face rippled like a lake struck by a hurricane—waves and black mist churning wildly.

"Caw!" The giant black face let out a crow's cry, its glowing red right eye suddenly collapsing inward, forming pale gray spiral patterns—almost identical to Obito's.

Dany stared, dumbfounded, as strands of black smoke were sucked into the center of the blood-red eye. Gradually, the color of the black mask faded from pitch black to pale gray... until it completely disappeared, leaving only—

"A crow!" Dany gasped in disbelief. "It was just a crow?!"

All that remained in the sky was a black crow with red eyes flapping its wings, crying out: "Caw, caw, caw!"

A wave of spiritual energy swept down toward the apple grove below, and Dany clearly heard the deep, resonant voice of the black-masked man echo in her mind:

"Daenerys, one day you'll understand the greatness of sacrificing oneself for righteousness. I'll be waiting for you."

This Green Seer was unexpectedly melodramatic!

Dany's beautiful face twisted in frustration. Damn it, self-sacrifice and martyrdom? That's terrifying!

Fine, wait all you want. Even if the White Walkers wipe out humanity, I still won't come looking for you.

"Big Black, Little White—go take down that bald crow!" Dany shouted.

"Hiss—Screech—!"Already poised to attack, Little White leapt into the air and rapidly closed in on the blood-eyed crow. But Big Black didn't move at all—just lay there, silent and still.

"Big Black?"Only now did Dany notice something was wrong. Though his dragon spirit form remained, she could no longer sense his soul.

"Roar—!"Just as she rushed to his side and urgently patted his head, Little White let out a wail mid-air. His wings and tail spasmed like they were cramping, twisting together before he crashed down in a violent tumble.

The next moment, Dany felt a new presence in her spiritual sea—it was Little White.

She had desperately tried before to bring him here and failed, but now he came uninvited.

In the ghostly blue sea of souls, Dany stared blankly at the panic-stricken white dragon.

"You idiot. Controlled again? Need me to bail you out?"

"Hiss—Screech—" Little White let out a pitiful cry.

Without words, a wave of spiritual energy passed between them. In dragon-spirit form, he understood her, and she understood him:

The Green Seer had entered Little White's spiritual sea, trying to subdue him the same way skinchangers control animal companions.
