Under the Red Dragon.

As the fog dissipated, the world regained its light, with only the deep ravines on the grassland bearing witness to what had happened there.

The devout dragon's voice rose over the grassland, carrying unwavering determination, repeating and echoing again and again.

"May my king, the Dragon Emperor Gogmora!"

Crystal Dragon Galina crossed her claws, bowed her head, closed her eyes, and prayed. Magic and elemental forces swept in, carrying her prayers to the far reaches of the Dragon King's court, to awaken the majestic king within.

"You rule over all, the monarch of kings, the supreme ruler of the world,"

"Your power can protect the dragons of the mortal realm, your gaze can be upon every citizen of the empire, your loyal subjects, your beloved kin, Galina, plead at this moment..."

Phyllis Tiamat had long since restrained her domineering demigod aura. With the blessing of imperial authority and a clear path for the future, the divinity of this female dragon became more prominent. Her dragon nature and human nature were uniquely mixed, and she sought to achieve the balance that Emperor Gogmora sought with her gradually strengthening divinity.

No one knows how terrifying the primal desire contained in the divine blood born from Tiamat, the goddess of dragons, is except for Phyllis, the demigod dragon who possesses divine blood.

Even though Phyllis had begun to master the means to transform the genetic essence of the Immortal Dragon God into her own deeper power, and her life level was taking another step forward, she still could not solve the problem of Crystal Dragon Galina.

Phyllis also knew that even if the Dragon Emperor himself came, he would not be able to solve this problem.

Even God cannot solve this problem.

"Her time is running out, Galina,"

Phyllis gently lowered her head, nestling her dragon horns against the side of the praying crystal dragon Galina, and said in a calm yet tender tone, "You should cherish these last moments."

"A god is a god after all. Even if a fragment of an evil god's consciousness cannot contend with many powerful legends in the mortal realm, their essence is destined to be beyond the reach of many powerful beings."

"Boti's soul has been completely devoured and assimilated by it, becoming one with it. The evil god can be Boti, but Boti is not an evil god."

"I can only try my best to separate the soul that was devoured by the evil god, but perhaps it shouldn't be called Portia's soul, but rather her former personality, or her thought patterns and emotions!"

"Emperor Gogmora is not currently in the Empire, and even if he were, he couldn't solve this problem, because the essence of Porti's soul has already become that of an evil god, a fact that even the gods cannot change..."

As the crystal dragon Galina prayed with her eyes closed, two streams of blood suddenly flowed from under her chin, dripping onto the soil, but there was no dragon blood poison in them.

Dragons never shed tears, but they do bleed.

Galina slowly opened her eyes and looked at the soul trapped in Phyllis Tiamat's claws.

Few mortals can see the soul with their naked eyes. Even many dragons cannot easily see this wondrous thing, which is why the soul is difficult to harm by ordinary forces.

Unless the soul manifests itself and actively interacts with worldly matter, it cannot be touched by the power of the supernatural.

But neither the former evil dragon prince Nur nor the current demigod dragon Phyllis are ordinary dragons.

Even setting aside Phyllis's demigod nature, she still possesses imperial authority and can easily touch the souls of living beings.

However, the soul on Phyllis's hand manifested spontaneously. Although it was trapped in the dragon's claws, it needed Phyllis's power to maintain its existence. Otherwise, it would gradually dissipate in the mortal world, reach the depths of the spiritual world, and return to the embrace of that evil god.

"Body,"

Crystal Dragon Galina softly called out to her former companions. The soul residing in the dragon's claw was constantly shifting, changing back and forth between the dragon's soul and the face of an evil god.

But when that soul heard the call of its companion, it suddenly froze, transforming back into the form of the female dragon, Boti.

There was no sadness in Portia's eyes. She simply looked timidly at her friend Galina and asked hesitantly, "Garina, am I a failure?"

“I once tried to rebel against the evil god, but I failed,”

The soul slowly curled its body into a ball and whispered, "Fortunately, I didn't have time to cause much destruction, but I still hurt you, Galina. I'm sorry!"

The cowardice flickering in Porty's eyes deeply stung Crystal Dragon Galina.

Galina took a deep breath and walked up to Phyllis.

Phyllis sighed softly and gently extended her enormous claws in front of the female dragon, allowing her former friend to face her.

"Losers are those who never even tried, those who are too afraid to even try,"

Galina tried her best to stop the pain in her cheek from throbbing, and looked gently into her friend's eyes as she said, "But you tried to win, you tried to fight back. You are not a loser. At least in my heart, Portia will always be a brave dragon."

"She is my bravest friend, Galina!"

The female dragon Boti's soul suddenly trembled, her eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and disbelief, causing the dragon's soul to make its voice more rapid.

"Really? I'm not a failure, I'm a brave person who hasn't succeeded?"

Crystal Dragon Galina nodded.

The female dragon, Potty, looked at the enormous dragon before her again. She raised her head and cautiously looked at the majestic demigod, trying to find a trace of approval in his eyes.

Phyllis's gaze was indifferent, but the female dragon brought her claws close to her pupils.

"You tried, Portia, but that day wasn't for you!"

The female dragon Boti's soul suddenly began to shake violently, as if struggling to escape the dragon's claws.

But Porty cried out joyfully, "Yes, I am a brave dragon! Kill me, Lady Phyllis, Galina! I will forever remain brave in your hearts!"

Click,

Phyllis slowly sent the dragon's soul into her fangs and slowly closed them.

"They died so that the empire would not die,"

"They perished so that the empire could last forever,"

"May their bodies, even in ashes, forge an immortal monument!" "May the vast world dilute the pain, may the imperial truth endure, and may I forever uphold it!"

……

The air was filled with the smell of rust and gunpowder. The resilient aura clashed with the abyssal aura carried by the boundless tide of demons, whipping up tornadoes from the layers of dark clouds above and sweeping around the giant city of Changwan.

One after another, magical searchlights swept across the giant city, piercing through dozens of miles in radius, revealing the demons hidden in the shadows.

The magic turrets and the massive alchemical crossbows, as large as ancient trees, emitted an endless series of booming sounds, each one enough to wipe out an entire area of ​​demons.

The enormous alchemical crossbow could pierce through the tough bodies of the demons, shooting straight through their bodies and then piercing through the demon ranks for miles before being obstructed and losing its final power, exploding in the air.

When the magic turret roared, it was enough to instantly wipe out hundreds of demons, hindering and scattering their swarming attack.

The counterattacks launched every moment in the vast city and the long walled city were like shooting stars filling the sky.

In an instant, millions of cannonballs and crossbow bolts, along with hundreds of thousands of rune spells, roared down upon the demon legion.

Spells and attacks, accompanied by howls and blazing flames, transformed into a torrent of magical rain and iron fire, repelling and crushing wave after wave of surging demons.

The terrifying battle between the two sides was incredibly fierce, with continuous explosions and fiery aftershocks illuminating the world shrouded in darkness.

Like a world-destroying fire falling from the sky, even the acid rain that descended from the heavy black clouds, carrying the aura of the abyss and possessing corrosive and powerful negative interference effects, could not reach within a hundred meters of the ground, because the rain that came close to that distance had long been evaporated by the continuous fire and magic.

Even though the rules of this world are incredibly robust, making the structure of the material space far more resilient than that of the ordinary material world, the earth still trembles and howls in the midst of a fierce and massive war.

Countless plumes of smoke and dust rose into the sky, mixed with countless pieces of flesh and bones, turning the area within sight into a stenchy red.

However, the sheer number of demons here is terrifying. Even if tens or hundreds of thousands of demons die in the previous second, the vacant areas left by those dead demons are immediately filled and occupied by even more demons in the next moment.

Kalon could even observe that, due to the overwhelming ferocity of the demons' cannon fodder army's offensive, various powerful beings in the giant city were beginning to make their appearance.

He even saw the shadow of a giant dragon within it, which began to teleport through the magical barrier of the giant city to the sky above the demon legion, spewing out an undying dragon breath.

Legendary powerhouses also began to stand atop the mountain range, chanting powerful and ancient magic incantations, unleashing boundless power that descended upon the demon legion.

Rumble,
Heavy dark clouds blocked the world's sunlight, but they could not stop the meteorites summoned by legendary powerful beings with their great power.

The explosive energy crashed down from the dome, leaving trails of flame that pierced through layers of black clouds stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

In that instant, dozens of meteors fell from the sky with unstoppable force, crashing into the torrent of demons.

The bird-like demons flying at low altitudes were many of which were even larger than ordinary adult dragons. They were featherless and scaleless, made almost entirely of bone, and possessed powerful magical and physical resistance.

But under the terrifying impact of the meteorite, it was vaporized without even uttering a cry.

Bang, bang, bang,
The continuous crashing sounds even pushed the sonic waves of the impact right up to Charon and Mogeyes, who stood atop the mountain. Although the impact was weaker than the softest breeze by this point, it still deeply shocked the giant Mogeyes.

"I can sense that there are no fewer than a hundred legendary experts in that city, and even among them, there are at least three or four demigod-level experts,"

Mogeyes looked at the red dragon beside him and said, "But even a city with this kind of strength must adopt a defensive counter-attack strategy in the face of the demon legion's attack."

"So just how severe is the collapse of this world? And what about the gods? Powerful gods are not afraid of demon lords, and even the demon prince Demogorgon might not be considered a threat by them."

"What the gods fear are not the demon lords and demon kings, but the Abyss itself, which is considered a single entity with an infinite number of planes."

"Ordinary demon lords, even demigod-level demon lords, would be crushed by a true god who has descended to earth. The suppression of gods by the material plane in this universe should have disappeared long ago, so why didn't those gods choose to take action?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Charon shot out a shower of sparks from its fangs, and a faint, rich smell of sulfur and magma began to permeate the air around the great red dragon.

This was a sight that hadn't been seen in a long time. Although Charon had perfect control over his power, even the blood of the first dragon needed to lie dormant under his subjective will.

However, the instinctive desire for the release of power and the urge to kill sometimes stems from the influence of the rules, and is not simply a matter of Charon's nature.

No dragon is immune to violence, but many dragons don't unleash their violence without reason, and Charon is no exception.

However, when it comes to demons who disrupt the rules of the world, Charon has no need to suppress the darkness deep within his heart.

That was the desire to destroy the world. The dark primal desire that Karon Goggmora had transformed into his own power was gradually reviving and was constantly pleading with his master to release him from his restraints.

“But I have a hunch, Mogeyes,”

The deep, resonant dragon's voice rang out once more, and at the same time, the final flames, which could burn away everything in the world, flickered faintly within the large red dragon's scales.

In the physical destiny established by Karon Gogmora, there is a distinction between the treasures of wisdom and the treasures of the soul.

Because mind and wisdom, though seemingly similar, are vastly different.

The mind's reaction is instantaneous, far more direct and faster than the workings of intellect and the brain's logical reasoning.

The birth and death of the mind occur billions of times every second, far faster than the rational maze of thought and logic.

However, the two are not completely independent, but rather they work together and integrate to reach a higher level.

But when faced with the reaction of the heart, Caron will choose to temporarily compromise his reason.

Mogeyes, clearly aware of the difference, looked solemnly at the red dragon.

"Our journey will end here, and we may discover some amazing things in this universe!"

Charon's fangs snapped shut, and the flames of annihilation surged from his pupils, scorching and distorting the distant battlefield. (End of Chapter)
