Ember Dragon

In the distant sky, Tiamat's sinister gaze pierced through hundreds of kilometers of space, staring directly at Kaisius, her tone revealing undisguised mockery and indifference.

“Casius, my most rebellious child, and also the one I valued most, stop struggling. This boring game should end. I will give you a clean and decisive ending.”

The three-headed dragon flapped its wings, which spanned thousands of meters and blotted out the sky, stirring up a chaotic hurricane.

Swah——

A fierce wind howled, and dust filled the sky. With a single flap of its wings, Tiamat traversed dozens of kilometers to arrive above Kaisius. Its terrifying dragon might caused the earth to shatter.

His form was even larger than that of the divine Kazul, stretching for thousands of meters from head to toe. At this moment, he was like a floating mountain, casting an immense shadow on the earth, even enveloping Caesus within it.

Kaisius flapped his dragon wings with all his might, trying his best to maintain flight. He could feel the dragon's might washing over his body and soul like a never-ending tide.

He was like a lone boat in a raging storm, barely able to keep sailing, but unable to fight against natural disasters.

Because it was not just dragon's might, but also contained the concept and laws of "evil dragons." Kaisius could sense the birth, growth, and death of countless red dragons from that dragon's might—including himself.

If an ordinary five-colored dragon were to face such pressure, it would probably be brainwashed by Tiamat in no time and become her most loyal servant, or even have its brain destroyed by the massive amount of information.

Thinking of this, Kaisius slightly opened his eyes, and an extremely luxurious crown appeared above his head, the pure white gem in the center of the crown immediately releasing a dazzling light.

Supreme True Dragon Crown!

Bahamut's mental barrier!
The Platinum Dragon God's power of order transformed into a pure white illusory palace, floating above Caesus, resisting the onslaught of the dragon's might and giving Caesus a brief respite.

The moment Tiamat saw the pure white gem, her false mask shattered, and her expression suddenly darkened.

"A traitor who betrays his own people! A red dragon seeking Bahamut's aid is a disgrace to the five-colored dragon race! That old bastard actually gave you something like this."

"Stop being so self-righteous!"

Kaisius raised his head, looked directly into Tiamat's deep eyes, and said coldly, "I have never submitted to you—Tiamat!"

Tiamat's expression gradually became ferocious and terrifying; all three heads raised their heads, emitting piercing howls and heavy growls:

"All the five-colored dragons of the multiverse should be my followers from birth, serving me. As the god of dragons, I rightfully control their destinies—and you are no exception!!"

Kaisius suddenly grinned: "Tiamat, since all the five dragons are under your command, why would your most loyal follower, Kazul, betray you and choose to cooperate with me, a traitor?"

"You bewitched Him!"

Upon hearing the name "Kazur," Tiamat's expression became even more ferocious, and two raging flames shot from her eyes.

Kaisius deliberately shook his head in a provocative manner: "Tsk tsk, you think too highly of me. I am not the so-called God of Deception, and I have no ability to bewitch a demigod ancient red dragon who has lived for thousands of years."

"Moreover, Kazul, who has served you for a thousand years, knows you far better than I do."

He glanced up at Tiamat and said with a smile, "In the end, you're the one in the wrong, Tiamat. You can't expect a horse to run without feeding it. Where in the world is there such a good thing?"

Tiamat's voice turned utterly cold, even the initial mockery vanished: "I am the sole reason for their existence. I gave them life. And yet, my offspring dare to dream of becoming gods? What a delusional and audacious idea!"

"As for you—"

Tiamat paused, her deep vertical pupils revealing an intense, almost tangible, hatred:

"I will make you experience all the suffering in the world. At that time, you will kneel before me and beg to become my most lowly servant!"

In an instant, a barely perceptible ray of light burst forth from the center of that vertical pupil.

coming soon!
Six beams of light shot out from Tiamat's eyes, hurtling toward Caesus at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Blasphemous light!

Fortunately, during the brief lull in the demonstration, Kaisius had activated many of the imprints within his body, adding more than a dozen enhancement spells to himself, bringing his strength, speed, and defensive capabilities to their peak.

With its dragon wings flapping in the air, Kaisius transformed into a crimson afterimage, streaking across the sky like a crimson meteor, leaving behind only chaotic sonic boom clouds in its wake.

In his "demigod" form, Caesus was over 500 meters long. The sensation caused by such a colossal creature cruising through the air at near-sonic speeds was unimaginable.

The sky seemed to be torn apart by the Emperor of Burning, with ripples thousands of meters long spreading through the air. The aftershocks of the air explosion unleashed a massive storm, and a muffled, thunderous sound echoed in the high sky.

Tiamat's beam of light missed its target and struck the ground, instantly enveloping the ground within a radius of several hundred meters centered on the point of contact in a blurry black divine light.

click-

With a crisp sound, the earth cracked, and the soil and rocks shrouded in black light suddenly collapsed and scattered into the air, as if the earth god had dug out a huge, unparalleled hole in the ground.

However, Tiamat simply turned her head, and the six beams of light instantly ripped through the sky, sweeping across Kaisius in mid-air. Wherever they passed, everything was annihilated, and not a blade of grass grew.

Faced with the blasphemous light sweeping towards him like a long blade, Kaisius twisted his body and flapped his dragon wings with all his might in mid-air. The beam of light almost grazed the tip of his tail, and the end of his tail was completely erased.

"How can this be?"

Kaisius's pupils contracted sharply, his face showing shock.

This was no ordinary attack; the tip of his tail was erased from "existence" by that blasphemous light.

Normally, such a minor wound would heal in less than half a second, but at this moment it showed no signs of healing at all, because it simply "didn't exist."

Tiamat's chilling smile echoed in the sky, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Heh, I told you long ago, Caesus, the fate of all the five-colored dragons in the multiverse is in my hands. Your survival and destruction are only a thought away from me!" Caesus thought to himself. Tiamat can now exercise her authority as the god of evil dragons in the material world, and can even erase her existence as a "five-colored dragon" from the bottom of logic.

It's so terrifying!
Fighting Tiamat could lead to complete annihilation from the world, leaving no trace whatsoever.

The so-called "control over the fate of all five chromatic dragons in the multiverse" is not just empty talk; for Tiamat, this is a future that can be achieved.

Tiamat's three heads twisted in different directions, and the blasphemous beams of light danced wildly in the sky, constantly blocking Cassius's escape route.

But thanks to his exceptional mobility, Kaisius darted and weaved through the six beams of light, never allowing them to harm him in the slightest.

"There is no chance of winning by confronting Him head-on; we must continue to stall for time!"

Kaisius gritted his teeth, unleashing the divine power within him. A dazzling burst of light and flame erupted from his back, propelling his massive demigod body through the sky, leaving behind a long, trailing cloud of smoke stretching for hundreds of miles.

However, Tiamat gazed at the meteor-like figure, her eyes filled with endless greed and desire, as if she were looking at the most precious treasure in the world. She revealed a sinister smile and whispered, "You're the only one left."

Although they were hundreds of miles apart, Kaisius could still hear Tiamat's whispers, as if they were spoken right next to his ear, her voice seemingly filled with an irrepressible excitement.

Yes, we're just one short.

Tiamat has now reached the pinnacle of material life and is about to break free from the constraints of the laws of the material plane. She is just one step away from becoming a true god.

This step is embodied in Kaisius, whose body contains the divinity of Karix, Gorazdra, and Erebus.

All of these combined were enough for Tiamat to easily break through this final constraint, regain her divine status, and become the first deity born native to the material world since the Third Age.

After that, He can easily destroy the old world and establish a new world where dragons rule the land.

Tiamat will be far more than just the god of evil dragons, the mother of dragons, and the goddess of greed. Under the reshaping of the laws of the material world, she will become the founding god of a new era and ascend to a being of great divine power.

By then, the title of "enemy of the gods" will be truly fitting.

Now that things have come to this, Kaisius understands why the One of Nothingness did everything he could to help him fight Tiamat. After all, with the Heart of Karex inside him, there is still a good chance of retrieving it in the future.

But if Tiamat swallows it, there will be no chance.

As a true god-level being, it seems that Karix is ​​not as "crazy" as He appears.

No wonder even Tiamat was excited and thrilled. With such a grand and glorious future before them, who wouldn't be excited?

Unfortunately, Kessius was not a participant in this future, but rather a stepping stone chosen by Tiamat. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—

escape!
Tiamat's transformation into the Myriad Colors Returning to the Sky Dragon was far more powerful than he had imagined. If he were to fight her on this battlefield, Kaisius would have absolutely no chance whatsoever!
He would need to venture into the empire's territory and rely on the power of authority to barely contend with this Myriad-Colored Sky-Returning Dragon, which was almost a god; otherwise, he would only be devoured by it.

Tiamat seemed to have seen through Kesius's thoughts. Her sky-covering dragon wings suddenly unfolded, and the dark divine light instantly spread wildly across the sky like a tide, covering a space of a hundred miles in an instant—that was Tiamat's divine domain!

"O gods!"

"The end of the world, this is the end of the world!"

"The day of judgment has come. Are we doomed to submit to Tiamat?"

The remaining Allied soldiers on the battlefield cried out in despair and wailed in agony. After being enveloped by the divine power, they felt as if their bodies were being torn to pieces.

Tumors were constantly growing inside people's bodies, and the new scales were tearing their skin, causing blood to gush out. They could only watch helplessly as they were gradually corrupted by divine power. Many soldiers who were not strong enough to withstand it fainted on the spot, and some even used daggers and longswords to pierce their own hearts.

This is the true realm of the gods. Anyone who exists within it will be corrupted and assimilated by Tiamat's divine power, gradually turning into the ugliest dragon-blooded monster.

Even Adrian, who was favored by the sun god, had to exert all his strength to cover his body with golden light in order to barely resist the corruption of Tiamat's divine power.

Even so, he was still corrupted by a wisp of evil divine power that broke through the divine light protecting him, and mottled scales vaguely appeared on his arm.

But Adrian gritted his teeth, his expression resolute, and actually swung his longsword, severing his own corrupted left arm. Then, gazing into the distance, he whispered:
"Your Majesty Caesus—may the glory of Amanatha protect you."

Fortunately, Tiamat did not target these ants. She flapped her dragon wings, stirring up a raging wind, and chased after Caesus, sweeping over the divine domain in the process.

In His view, these mortals were destined to die in His destruction, whether sooner or later made no difference.

The divine realm in the sky spread rapidly, but it was always a step too slow to reach the red dragon that streaked across the sky like a shooting star.

At the same time, spatial rifts appeared high in the sky, and thousands of five-colored dragons controlled by Tiamat surged out of the rifts. Their eyes were lifeless, and they numbly chased after Kaisius like a raging torrent.

Although ordinary five-colored dragons are just large flies to the demigod Caesus, the dragon swarm that gathers like a dark cloud can still cause some disruption.

"Give up, you can't escape—"

Tiamat's roar echoed across the heavens; it was a blasphemous sound imbued with divine power.

Upon hearing that voice, all dragon-like creatures—even those with only a trace of five-colored dragon blood flowing through their veins—would experience splitting headaches and fall into deep fear, and even Kaisius was no exception.

After the fear subsided, they submitted completely to Tiamat.

But Kaisius quickly recovered from his fear and once again used Bahamut's power of order to construct a mental palace to protect his own sanity.

However, the divine power in the "Wind of Bahamut" is almost gone, and it won't be long before Caesus is corrupted by Tiamat's blasphemous voice.

With this in mind, Kaisius made up his mind—he had to escape from here!
At all costs! (End of Chapter)
