From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 365 Report! Someone's cheating!
This meeting was completely beyond Xia Mi's expectations.

Looking at Uesugi Kotsugi, whose name was marked as 'dead in battle' in the Kassel College database, she suddenly had the illusion of being caught in a spider web, turning from hunter into prey.

But at the same time, more questions, or rather doubts, welled up in my mind like a tangled mess.

"Your Majesty, King of the Earth and Mountains, please allow me to introduce myself." Uesugi Kotsugi, unhurried and like a gentleman, bowed to the tall figure in the darkness. It was a pity he was missing a hat, otherwise he would have looked even more fitting: "My name is Uesugi Kotsugi, the last Shadow Emperor of Japan. By the will of my lord, I have come to proclaim the Mandate of Heaven to you."

Declaring the Mandate of Heaven?

At first, Xia Mi was slightly taken aback, but she quickly couldn't help but sneer: "What era are we living in? Still playing these tricks? How childish!"

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you; I am merely relaying the message."

Uesugi shrugged and said nonchalantly, after all, he was just a messenger, and whether or not to believe him was none of his business.

Xia Mi paused for half a second, then said calmly, "Alright, then tell me about it."

"You will die at the hands of your beloved."

Uesugi relayed the truth, but even he felt a bit awkward saying it.

The four kings of the dragon race have always been cold-blooded and ruthless, with cruel and tyrannical personalities. The probability of them falling in love with a human and dying at his hands is no less than Angers coming out as gay tomorrow, and being the passive one at that. The probability is not to say that it is completely zero, but it is infinitely close to zero, which just highlights how absurd it is!

Is this a plot straight out of a romance novel?!

Uesugi wanted to complain, thinking it was absolutely impossible, but then he thought that 'Adam's' prophecies never failed, and finally concluded that the world was probably changing too fast.

Okay, let’s get back to the topic.

Putting aside Uesugi Eishi's rambling thoughts, Natsumi was quite taken aback.

The image of a boy inexplicably appeared in her mind, but she quickly shook her head and banished the thought.

"Ridiculous!" Xia Mi's voice was clearly tinged with anger as she loudly retorted, "Is this what you call 'destiny'?"

Although her voice was loud, it was inexplicably mixed with a hint of panic, like a little girl whose secret had been exposed, making her feel somewhat ashamed and angry.

"Whether you believe it or not is your own business. I'm just relaying the message." Uesugi Kotetsu shrugged indifferently and said, "My mission is complete. Please allow me to say goodbye."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But how could Xia Mi easily let someone leave when they suddenly barged into Nibelungen and told him about destiny?

"stop!"

Xia Mi's golden eyes lit up, as if burning with raging flames.

With a shout, the entire tunnel seemed to tremble under its authority, the cracks in the rock walls spread outwards, fragments of stone fell, and dust filled the air.

"Come and go as you please, what do you take this place for?" The girl's dazzling golden eyes exuded indescribable majesty, and a vast and boundless aura surged out, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, filling every corner of the tunnel, as if several mountains were pressing down on it.

Facing a Dragon King, even in an incomplete state, the near-tangible pressure of his spiritual domain was enough to make Uesugi Kotsuki feel immense pressure.

"I knew it would turn out like this." Uesugi Yue exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling as if his whole body was being squeezed. His golden eyes were unconsciously lit up, but under the suppression of the Dragon King's mental domain, the once bright and dazzling golden color now became somewhat dim: "Respected King of Earth and Mountains, I have no intention of offending you."

"Who sent you? Tell me who's behind you!"

Xia Mi's eyes flashed sharply; she needed to know who was behind all of this!
If looks could kill, then Uesugi Yue felt he would probably be torn to pieces. Although he wouldn't die, the Dragon King's golden eyes had a real suppressive effect on mixed-race individuals.

The surrounding air was almost solidified into gel. The immense pressure from the mental domain made him feel as if he were in the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface. His bones, muscles, nerves, and even every hair on his body were desperately issuing warnings and hysterically howling in fear.

This isn't the fake 'Odin' from last time, but a living 'Dragon King'!
Thinking of this, Uesugi Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This job was far too dangerous. He was constantly dealing with the Dragon King. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have preferred to have died in the sea.

However, despite his grumbling, he still intended to avoid fighting as much as possible, and said with a dry cough, "Respected Dragon Queen, please forgive me for not being able to tell you who it is, but I believe it will not be long before you meet my lord. At that time, you can ask him any questions you may have."

"is it?"

Xia Mi's slender figure was hidden in the darkness. Her voice clearly carried a hint of displeasure as she coldly laughed, "Since that's the case, then you can stay here and leave whenever your master comes."

She was determined to see who was really behind all this charade!
"goodbye!"

Without hesitation, Uesugi Kotsugi turned and ran. Although Nibelungen was the Dragon King's alchemical domain, and under normal circumstances it would be impossible to break out, he still had some 'trump cards'.

However, Xia Mi seemed to have guessed it all along, her gaze indifferent, her soft call echoing in the tunnel.

"Fenrir!"

Boom! ! !
In the pitch-black subway tunnel, it was as if a searchlight with thousands of lumens had suddenly lit up, radiating a dazzling golden light.

Immediately afterwards, the tunnel walls suddenly shook violently, as if a mechanism had been accidentally triggered. The entire rock wall was covered with cracks, pieces of rock fell down, and dust filled the air.

Amidst a violent tremor, a massive searchlight blocked the way, its blinding golden light completely obscuring Uesugi Kotsushi's vision.

In fact, it wasn't a searchlight at all, but a real dragon!

Its ancient and majestic body resembled a mountain range from millions of years ago, covered in hard, bluish-black scales. Although it was a reptile, it was far more beautiful than any other creature, majestic and profound, strong and resilient. The scales opened and closed in turn, producing a metallic clanging sound. Its face, full of bony protrusions, carried a kingly majesty. Its huge wings spread out, completely blocking the tunnel's exit.

"Roar!!!"

The deafening roar directly generated visible air waves and sound waves.

With just a roar, Uesugi felt as if he were being slammed by a giant wave, and was pushed dozens of meters away by the shockwave. His feet carved two clear furrows in the hard bottom of the tunnel.

The dragon took a half step, and the entire tunnel trembled, with countless stones falling and crashing onto its dark blue scales.

Two scorching jets of air shot out from his nostrils, creating layers of air waves. An indescribable sense of heavy oppression, as if it were a tangible force, fell on Uesugi Kotsugu. In an instant, the hairs on his body stood on end, and sweat poured out of his pores. Being stared at by those giant golden eyes, he felt an uncontrollable chill rise to his heart.

"If you don't tell me today, you're not leaving here."

Xia Mi approached the giant dragon, reaching out to stroke its chin, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"Enough, enough. I had originally intended to avoid taking action as much as possible, but in the end..."

Looking at the menacing dragon and the girl stroking it, Uesugi Etsuko's joking expression vanished, his face turning indifferent and cold, as if he had suddenly become a different person. His pupils rippled as he softly said, "In the end, it's still wishful thinking. Ultimately, for the dragon race, it's more appropriate to reason with their fists."

The jet-black dragon scales, like armor, grew continuously from under the skin.

The layers of black scales gleam with a grayish-white rocky luster, and their surface is engraved with faint, mysterious patterns that are almost impossible to see without close inspection.

His muscles swelled up to several times their normal size as if they were inflated, and the bulging power even caused his scales to burst open. He was filled with a visible sense of power, and his ferocious bone spurs extended from his spine to his head. In the blink of an eye, Uesugi Kotsushi transformed from a human into a monster that was nearly tens of meters tall and had a body size that resembled a smaller version of the 'Dragon King'!

"The Path to Godhood?!"

When Xia Mi saw the changes that had occurred in him, her heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

Throughout history, without exception, all hybrids who have embarked on this forbidden path have ultimately fallen into the form of Deadpool; there are virtually no successful cases.

But now, a human has successfully taken the final step: transforming from a human into a dragon!

"Word Spirit·Bronze Throne!"

"Word of Power - Immortality!"

"Word of Power - Moment - Tenth-Order Enhancement!"

The triple amplification of the power of the Words of Power instantly brought Uesugi Kotsuki's physical strength to an unparalleled level.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Xia Mi's pupils suddenly contracted, and she exclaimed in horror, "You're cheating?!"

Even the king of the earth and mountains, known for its defense, had to admit defeat before that alloy body, which was the hardest known to humankind!

The next moment, Uesugi Kotsuki's figure suddenly disappeared.

Rumble——!
A powerful sonic boom tore through the sky, and the entire tunnel collapsed amidst the roar.

Xia Mi's vision was captured by a dark figure. Before she could react, she was struck as if by a falling meteorite. The extremely powerful force, like a tsunami, slammed her and Fenrir against the tunnel wall. Terrifying howls and whistles continued.
