Ember Dragon

Chapter 861 The Battle of Two Gods
"Kazul, damn it! You actually brought this madman here!"

Tiamat's furious roar echoed through the sky. She raised her head and unleashed a five-colored divine breath at the phantom of Karax, but she still could not stop the mad god from descending.

But this Lord of Flames actually withstood that terrifying breath, flapped his dragon wings, traversed endless space, and directly descended onto the prime material plane. Space shattered in response, and countless fragments of void fell down.

"Roar--"

Saliva dripped from the corner of Karex's mouth as he stared at Tiamat as if she were his prey, his eyes growing increasingly excited and agitated, as if the five-headed dragon before him was not a high and mighty dragon god, but merely a wild beast that He had set His sights on.

With His appearance, endless gales swept across the sky, turning the earth into shattered scorched earth. This battlefield seemed to have become a "chaotic void," exuding an atmosphere of extreme chaos and terror.

The crimson lava rivers solidified into obsidian upon His arrival, while Karax's roar stirred up a firestorm that dyed the sky a blood-red hue.

The confrontation between the two dragon gods distorted the laws of the plane—the powers of chaos and order, destruction and conquest collided here, and the whole world trembled violently as a result.

The mere aftershocks of the standoff were enough to cause mountains to crumble and the earth to churn. Under the impact of divine power, the battlefield within a hundred miles was filled with violent magical turbulence.

"Is this the battle between true gods?"

As Kaisius looked up at the two figures that blotted out the sky, he couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion.

This is the true God.

Even if they descend to the world only in the form of a soul, they are far beyond what ordinary beings like them can compare to. If their true forms were to descend, their destructive power could easily destroy an entire continent.

If Tiamat's plan is realized, and she truly descends to the material world in her true form, even ten Caesuss would probably be unable to stop her.

Tiamat, enraged beyond measure, flapped her dragon wings, her five ferocious dragon heads radiating unspeakable hatred.

My millennia-long plan has been ruined by a few madmen!
What a shame!

"Karricks! You foolish, mad beast, get back to the Roaring Skytunnel! This is my territory!"

Tiamat.

In the distance, the red dragon flapped its wings in mid-air, stirring up gusts of wind, and actually called out the other party's name in a hoarse voice.

Karex grinned menacingly, hot, magma-like saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth: "I heard believers calling my name. I felt a familiar presence. Excellent! I'm finally back in the material plane!"

Tiamat saw that Karix seemed to still retain some rationality, so she calmed down and said coldly, "Karix, leave here, and I can give you enough reward to let your true form escape from the Noisy Void Tunnel."

"Let's have a fight, I think I understand."

However, Karex raised his head and interrupted Him, staring at Tiamat with a crazed, eager gaze: "I will—kill you."

Tiamat gritted her teeth and roared angrily, "You madman! What can you gain by being my enemy? I am the Mother of Dragons, and I can give you far more than that!"

"I am going to kill you."

Karex's mouth stretched almost to his ears, and his voice became even more excited, as if he was about to pounce on him at any moment.

Tiamat's voice finally betrayed her anxiety: "I can give you a portion of divine power, allowing you to return to the level of a weak god! We can swear to the River Styx! Whatever reward you desire, I can discuss it with you."

"Is everything really okay?"

Karix grinned and tilted his head, looking somewhat puzzled.

Tiamat suppressed her anger and pleaded in the gentlest tone she could think of: "Everything is negotiable, as long as you leave my territory."

"I want your life."

"you wanna die!"

"I am going to kill you!!"

However, Karix only repeated it once more before opening its gaping maw and lunging forward almost frantically.

So-called rationality is nothing but a disguise for instinct. At this moment, Karix's brain, infected by chaotic consciousness, has only one thought—killing!
Destroy everything you see!
No, to the madman of nothingness, this is not destruction, but purification. Only by purifying everything in the multiverse can he attain extreme joy and liberation.

Seeing this scene, Kazul, who was perched on the ground, laughed loudly: "My beloved Mother Goddess, I never thought you would look so disheveled!"

Kaisius stared intently at the crimson figure in the sky. He had long noticed that the Lord of Flames's crazed gaze would occasionally sweep over him—after all, he was the owner of the "Heart of Karix".

The mad dragon god in the sky has become his destined enemy, a mountain he must overcome on his path to godhood.

High in the sky, Tiamat's five heads rose up in unison, letting out a long roar, and her immense divine power was fully released.

As the Queen of the Five Colored Dragons and the Mother of Dragons, Tiamat's divine power far surpasses that of Karix, and her divine status is also superior. Her strength is enough to crush the Lord of Fire.

However, Karix was a complete madman—moreover, he was a dragon god. No matter who the enemy was, this mad dragon god would bite off a piece of flesh from them with his bloody, ferocious maw.

Even the most powerful gods avoid Him unless absolutely necessary.

Tiamat, however, had many enemies and was wary of fighting Karex at the crucial moment of descending into the material plane.

However, now a fierce battle is inevitable, as it concerns Tiamat's future plans and even the fate of the five-colored dragon race.

With that thought in mind, Tiamat's divine body fully manifested.

His body stood tall like a majestic mountain, and his five heads hung high in the sky like a tower of judgment.

The blue dragon's head unleashed a thunderstorm, with electric snakes tearing through the sky; the green dragon's head released poisonous mist, causing even the gale to fester; the black dragon's head corroded the earth, its strong acid melting the rock layers; and the white dragon's head spewed forth towering ice and snow, almost freezing time and space.

The red dragon's head, located at the very center, spewed out dragon flames imbued with divine power, clashing with Karix's fire domain and exploding into billions of sparks.

"Ow—"

The roars of each of Tiamat's heads echoed throughout the heavens and earth, transforming into blasphemous pronouncements, attempting to forcibly bring the order of the realm into the shackles of "lawful evil."

These five terrifying dragon breaths, like five magnificent waterfalls, poured down from the sky, easily destroying everything around them.

"Is this the power of Tiamat's Breath?" Even Cassius sighed inwardly, flapping his dragon wings with all his might to get away from the battlefield of the two gods.

However, Karax was not to be underestimated either. He roared and unleashed all of his divine power at the cost of his life.

"Hahahaha! Tiamat, I'll kill you—"

As the destructive embodiment of the Primordial Red Dragon form, lava erupts from where Karax's scales have peeled away. When his wings flap, the eternal hurricane of the desolate void merges into the sea of ​​fire, forming a fire tornado that spans the heavens and the earth.

His divine madness made him ignore his pain; even when Tiamat's breath pierced his breastplate, he transformed the wound into "Flame of Rebirth" at the cost of burning his flesh and blood.

Bones are reborn from ashes, scales are rekindled, and the cycle of destruction and regeneration reaches a balance in madness. Just looking at that hideous divine body makes people feel an indescribable madness.

"boom--"

Tiamat's fivefold breath, like rainbows of death rays, shot towards Karix, but the crazed dragon god ignored his increasingly severe injuries and charged forward despite the terrifying breath, his body constantly cycling between destruction and rebirth.

Karex was sometimes corroded into bones, and sometimes engulfed in flames and restored to its original state, and so it swooped down toward Tiamat.

The blue dragon's lightning was caught in the fire whirlwind and backfired, while the red dragon's flames were devoured by Karix, transforming into "Breath of Purification"—a beam of incandescent light that pierced through the plane, scorching the black head of the five-headed dragon to a crisp, and causing divine blood to drip like tar.

Immediately afterwards, the crazed red dragon rushed towards Tiamat without regard for anything, devouring and tearing at her like a wild beast, with blood splattering everywhere and scales flying everywhere.

In the short few minutes of the battle, Karex's soul body died more than a dozen times, but each time it was reborn in flames and relentlessly pounced on the five-headed dragon.

Tiamat is injured.

Despite Tiamat's best efforts, her divine essence was still significantly damaged by Karex's relentless and desperate offensive.

"Damn madman!"

He roared in fury, spreading his sky-covering dragon wings and unleashing the power of "Order Domain," summoning countless chains from the depths of the Bato hell to entangle the Lord of Flames.

"Kill you!"

"die!"

Karix struggled fiercely, roaring incessantly, causing the chains to shake violently and make a clear, rattling sound.

Tiamat sneered, "Karix, these are chains prepared for Bahamut, specifically targeting the 'Dragon' divine authority. Even if you are a true god, you cannot escape them—"

Just then, Karex let out a strange, maniacal laugh. He released the "Chaos Domain," which melted the chains into molten iron. Where the water dripped, writhing fire demons were born, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on the five-headed dragon.

"He really is a madman infected by chaos."

Tiamat was filled with extreme rage. She simply clenched her dragon claws, and the fire demons, which were comparable to natural disasters in the eyes of mortals, all exploded in mid-air.

Tiamat believed that Karex was not powerful, but extremely disgusting. He was impossible to kill, but one had to be wary of his relentless attacks, as a moment's carelessness could lead to a terrible price.

Both sides' divine power domains were expanding rapidly and colliding constantly. The aftershocks from the annihilation of their divine power shattered the surrounding space, but they showed no intention of stopping.

Karex swooped down toward Tiamat once more, its body trailing flames like a meteorite capable of destroying everything.

"This kind of fool will only be played by me. As a god, he acts like a beast, how ridiculous."

Tiamat sneered and used "Trickster Domain" to create countless illusory clones. The entire sky was shrouded in overlapping five-colored dragon shadows, making it impossible to distinguish which one was the real five-colored dragon queen.

But Karex roared madly, and the "Domain of Destruction" surrounding him directly crushed space—the dragon shadows shattered like fragile glass, breaking apart, leaving only the real Tiamat.

"boom--"

The air exploded as Karex flapped its dragon wings with all its might, unleashing a scorching wind that burned everything, washing over Tiamat's soul and divine body.

Under Karix's chaotic realm, everything became disordered and distorted, and the mortals who were unfortunately drawn into it suffered terribly.

As they tore at their faces, scorched by the blazing wind, they shouted madly, "The mad flames will burn away all realms, until even the cleansers are reduced to ashes!"

Amidst the rising and falling shouts and heart-wrenching roars, Karex spread his dragon wings and swooped down towards Tiamat once again. The two divine powers pressed against each other, creating countless huge spatial rifts at their intersection.

As Tiamat watched the oncoming, frenzied Lord of Flames approach, her expression twisted into a grimace, her eyes blazing with murderous intent, and the evil divine power within her surged uncontrollably.

The next moment, overlapping roars resounded through the sky, and the space within a hundred miles seemed to freeze. Tiamat's five dragon heads suddenly stretched out, tearing at Karix's limbs and neck, and the venomous tail sting pierced his heart.

This is the "Multi-Headed Devourer" which contains terrifying divine power!
"Stab!"

With a deafening crack, the mad dragon god was torn to pieces by Tiamat, his fragments scattered across the sky.

However, Karix's "revival" divine authority suddenly took effect, an invisible force field enveloped Him, and in the instant His heart exploded and His limbs broke apart, the flames of revival blazed fiercely.

The mad dragon god's flesh and bones continued to coalesce in the flames, and his body was reborn in the burning.

This is the so-called "God of Restoration" or "Lord of Flames." As long as a spark remains, Karix can be resurrected in flames, and even the gods cannot kill him.

"Kill you!"

With an angry roar, Karex's newly grown dragon head opened its massive maw, twisting in a grimace as it bit at Tiamat, purifying fire erupting from between its jagged fangs.

"What a troublesome fellow."

However, Tiamat was prepared for this. Her accumulated five-colored divine power poured out like a waterfall, instantly engulfing the newly reborn Karex.

His scales, flesh, and bones were gradually obliterated by this terrifying breath, and even his head was blown to pieces. But even so, Karix still stood as a skeleton, and the flames were rapidly reshaping his body.

"Get back to the noisy tunnel! You damn lunatic!"

Tiamat flapped her wings, which blotted out the sky, and frantically expanded her divine power domain, enveloping the still unreborn Karix within it.

The dragon claw swung through the air, accompanied by a piercing shriek. Space collapsed in response, and a huge black hole appeared in mid-air, as if it would banish Karix at any moment.
