Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

The ladder stretched for over a hundred meters, with no end in sight. The vice-principal couldn't care less; gritting his teeth, he began descending, level by level.

One floor, two floors, three floors...

Soon, we'll be at the bottom.

The vice principal, trying to bolster his spirits, descended the ladder floor by floor, until he had gone down ten floors in one go. Still unable to see the bottom, he broke down in a rage, cursing, "Who the hell built this place so deep? Were they raising sharks?! Damn it!"

Despite the criticism, we still have to climb.

In the end, the vice principal was practically a climbing machine, his whole body numb. He didn't know how long he had been climbing when his footing gave way and he slipped and fell. Fortunately, the last part of the fall was only about ten meters high. Now, he had completely fallen and crashed hard onto the rocky ground, wincing in pain as he cried out.

Time was running out, and the vice principal gritted his teeth and went to a switch at the bottom of the cave. He pressed it, and lights on the inner walls lit up, illuminating the entire abyss. The abyss was radiant with a bronze color, and the twisted runes climbed all over the inner walls like vines.

Although these rune imprints were very dim, one could still feel the obscure fluctuations flowing over them, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary objects.

If you combine these rune imprints together, you can see a pattern that resembles a palm print.

Like the hand of God.

The vice-principal looked up at the magnificent masterpiece that resembled God, and his gaze became fervent. Although he had studied this alchemical matrix for decades and it was almost a dead giant in his mind, every time he saw it, he couldn't help but feel a deep shock.

It was a profound awe in the face of the oldest and most powerful thing. This vast matrix was a terrifying realm created from elements and symbols, and many years ago it could even circulate endlessly because it could absorb the energy between heaven and earth to maintain the operation of this realm.

This is equivalent to a realm possessing life. And the source of its life is the energy between heaven and earth. But one day, due to some terrible collapse, this alchemical matrix was severely damaged and fell into a slumber, and could no longer actively absorb the energy between heaven and earth.

This slumber has continued until now, a conclusion drawn by Vice Principal Leonardo. After decades of research, although he is very familiar with every rune, symbol, and even the representation of every element in this alchemical matrix, when combined, it is like a book written in heaven.

As the most powerful alchemy instructor in the entire Kassel College, if even he couldn't understand the principles behind this matrix, then basically no one else could either. At least within this college, the vice principal held authority.

Now, as he touched every rune imprint on the bronze wall, it was as if he were touching soft skin. The vice-principal's movements were slow, and his expression became incredibly devout. It was as if a mechanic was facing a sacred mech far surpassing the technology of this world.

It is a divine privilege that transcends all laws and religions. It was once a living, enormous alchemical life form, even worshipped as a miracle. It has not died yet; it is simply sleeping here, and perhaps one day it will awaken directly.

However, the vice principal sighed, because he had been waiting for this for more than ten years, but the alchemical matrix had not given him any response, even though he would transfuse blood into the matrix every year.

That's right, it's a blood transfusion.

Every year, the vice principal would regularly inject a portion of his own blood into this alchemical matrix. This was because hybrids of his bloodline had a very high purity of dragon blood components, making them natural alchemical potions and natural energy.

Moreover, this alchemical matrix has accepted all the blood transfusions over the years, but this guy only knows how to take and has never given anything to the vice principal. He's like a sleeping person who only eats and drinks every year without even opening his eyes.

Now the vice principal couldn't wait any longer. Kassel College was facing destruction. If this alchemical matrix still couldn't be activated, then the entire Kassel College would eventually perish, and everyone would perish, including the alchemical matrix itself. All sorts of sighs welled up in his heart, and finally transformed into a resolute glint in the vice principal's eyes.

He had made up his mind that no matter what, the vice principal would awaken this alchemical matrix, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

The vice principal pulled out a dagger from his body and slashed it hard across his palm. However, it only left a white mark and did not cut through the skin. The vice principal frowned and then made another slash, but it still did not cut through the skin.

This knife isn't working properly!

I should have asked that old bastard Angers to send over that folding knife.

The vice principal couldn't help but complain.

It wasn't actually the dagger that was the problem; it was that he was afraid of pain. Rather than saying he was thick-skinned, it would be more accurate to say that he had never dared to exert any force. Every year, he would use the dagger to cut himself and give the life transfusion to this alchemical matrix, which felt like it was taking half his life. Several times, Angers had to personally perform the incision.

So what the vice-principal really wanted wasn't Angers' folding knife, but Angers' determination to take drastic measures.

As the tremors intensified, the vice-principal could fully imagine Lin Ye's anger and determination. A resolute light shone in his large eyes. The vice-principal gritted his teeth and slashed his palm with the dagger, causing blood to gush out instantly.

Before the vice-principal could even utter a cry of pain, he slammed his bloodied hand into the groove at the center of the matrix. The blood began to climb rapidly along the dense engravings, spreading across the entire inner wall of the bronze like wildly growing vines.

The vice principal's gaze grew increasingly resolute. He knew there was truly no way out; either he would die here today, or he would activate this alchemical matrix here.

"Old friend, please do me a favor! For all these years I've served you, please give me a glimmer of hope! Save everyone at Kassel College, and save my son who's almost completely bald! Give me a miracle!"

As the Symphony of Fate roared, the vice principal's bloodied hand continued to gush blood, which also provided energy for the alchemical matrix. Excitingly, the runes on the originally dim and mottled alchemical matrix were slightly lit up by the surging blood, emitting a faint light.

Though faint, it was like a spark magnified infinitely in the vice-principal's eyes. He believed it was hope; as long as he could continue the transfusion, it was very likely he could awaken the alchemical matrix. At that moment, as one of the rune imprints lit up, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and countless other lights also lit up.

These illuminated marks flowed along the huge pattern on the inner wall of the bronze, eventually intertwining to form a shape resembling a hand. The top of the cave was covered with cracks, and at first glance, it looked like a giant hand holding up the sky that was about to collapse.

However, this is not the maximum activation of this alchemical matrix; it is merely the initial manifestation, equivalent to a sleeping person raising their eyelids. The vice principal knows that this is not enough, and the output of blood is not sufficient.

Let's do it again!

The vice-principal picked up the dagger and widened the wound on his palm again, causing blood to gush out once more. At this moment, the enormous alchemical matrix was like a car, and the vice-principal's blood was like gasoline. Only by continuously injecting gasoline could the car truly move and even accelerate.

It was this alchemical matrix, which was gradually shining with brilliance, that gave the vice principal unwavering confidence, so he felt no fear at this moment.

However, this alchemical matrix has been dormant for decades, even over a century. Even with the vice principal pushing himself to the limit, he was unable to fully unleash its original brilliance.

The vice-principal went all out. He opened the palm of his other hand and slashed it open again with the dagger. He knew that this was a desperate gamble. His health output increased exponentially. At this moment, the alchemical matrix seemed to be awakened. It no longer relied on the vice-principal's active output, but its demand was more ferocious and urgent. It even began to absorb the vice-principal's blood.

The vice principal's eyes widened, clearly noticing the change as well. Although he was alarmed, he was more excited than anything else, because he knew that if a child actively seeks food to replenish itself when hungry, it meant that the true awakening of this alchemical matrix was about to arrive.

Once that moment arrives, the alchemical matrix will be fully operational, actively absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

"After so many years, it's finally done! It's finally done!!!"

The vice principal was in tears.

The activation of this alchemical matrix was not achieved overnight; rather, it was the result of decades of continuous effort by him to supply it with energy.

Of course, what's even more shameful is that even though he keeps losing blood every now and then, he's still so fat.

At this moment, all the remaining surveillance cameras in the entire Kassel College were pointed at the sky hundreds of meters above. On the huge electronic screen of Watt Alheim, Lin Ye, with a cold expression, stood in the void, like a god or a demon. Above his head, the huge black sun with a diameter of forty or fifty meters slowly rotated, like a huge wheel of judgment.

Even the most powerful hybrid in the world would probably instinctively kneel down in the face of such a terrifying black sun. It is a power far beyond that of humans, and even reaches an unimaginable forbidden realm.

In this forbidden realm, these rulers all share a common title: "Gods".

Only the gods from heaven possess such majestic power, a power that can destroy or save the world, depending entirely on the god's thoughts and beliefs at the time.

However, at this moment, this boy, who is as powerful as a god, wants to destroy the entire city of Kassel. Although this is not his intention, he cannot stand by and watch his beloved girl disappear inexplicably, or even be taken away by the person behind the scenes, ultimately leading to that tragic fate.

Many teachers and students had seen Erii. Although the girl had only just arrived in Kassel, she left a deep impression. Wearing a white taffeta off-shoulder dress, she was as beautiful as an elf, or even more like a carefree princess. When she strolled around this Gothic castle academy, it was as if she were a princess visiting her own castle.

Erii crows with delight when she sees the rooster in Valhalla in Odin Square, her eyes light up when she sees the unicorn fountain, and she goes up to smell the flowers and plants in the Versailles Garden. The girl is so lively and lively; she is not only a princess but also an elf who has wandered into the human world.

All the teachers and students had a deep impression of that scene, and even liked this innocent and pure girl from the bottom of their hearts, so pure that she was spotless.

Behind him was Lin Ye.

The boy accompanied Erii as she admired the scenery of Kassel. Although the girl's beautiful eyes were fixed on the landscape, she mostly looked sweetly at Lin Ye.

Her beautiful eyes were like rubies, especially the love that shone in them. The girl loved Lin Ye so much, and Lin Ye looked at Erii with the same tender and doting gaze. What a beautiful love it was, enough for the two to pledge their lives to each other.

But now everything has changed. An accident has occurred, and no one knows where the final outcome will lead.

For Erii, being captured meant an endless darkness and coldness, enough to drive her to despair and death. But when she actually fell into the hands of those forces, even death became a luxury.

How could those people possibly free her?

Having captured Erii, they naturally understood the value this girl possessed. They would disregard everything to thoroughly research all of her value, stripping away her bloodline and drawing blood day and night to unearth all the treasures within her. Ultimately, they would categorize and summarize these treasures, concluding that she would be a treasure in this world second only to the Dragon King.

Faced with such a desperate scene, how could Lin Ye, who deeply loves Erii, not be furious!

It's so angry it could shatter the heavens!

All the teachers and students of Kassel College looked up at Lin Ye high in the sky. They all knew the boy's motives, and they also knew that there was absolutely no mortal hatred between them. If it were them, and their most beloved person were inexplicably lost, or even worse, that terrible disaster might occur, what would they do?

At this moment, many people already had their answer. If they really had Lin Ye's terrifying power, they would also use that power to control everything and prevent the tragedy they feared most from happening, instead of negotiating and reasoning, or even strategizing to find their loved ones.

Time is everything. Even the slightest delay could lead to tragedy and irreversible consequences. No one can afford to wait. It's like watching your loved one being burned by flames; who can remain calm in that moment?

Many people even wished they could rush into the fire to save the other person, just so that the other person could escape from that fiery demon as soon as possible.

They only blamed themselves for being too weak. If they had become stronger and protected Kassel College, or even helped Lin Ye find his lost girl because of their strength, they would have had many more opportunities instead of hiding in Watt Alheim and waiting for their final judgment.

Each of them was a powerful dragon slayer. When they entered Kassel College, they had already made up their minds to dedicate themselves to Kassel and the cause of slaying dragons at any time. They would rather give everything than die a humiliating death here.

There was nothing they could do; it was simply a matter of power. Lin Ye was too strong, so strong that it almost drove them to despair. Even though they were united in their resolve, unafraid of death, and desperately wanted to rush into the sky and fight Lin Ye, they couldn't. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't do it. They could only watch helplessly as the enormous black sun was about to erupt.

At that time, the entire city of Kassel and all the teachers and students of the Kassel College will cease to exist. It will be an apocalypse, and no one can stop it.

Despite the vice-principal's earlier vow to venture deep into the academy's ice cellar to activate the dormant alchemical matrix, it had become almost a legend within the entire Kassel Academy. Every year, students and faculty members with an interest in alchemy would mention the matrix, but they all inevitably felt a pang of regret at the end.

It's fair to say that the more impressive the matrix was before, the more regrettable its fate became in the end. Although it was once a godlike power, when disaster strikes, even gods can fall into slumber due to damage, or even die little by little.

Yes, even the most terrifying gods, the great beings who wield such powerful authority, can fall into slumber or even die from injuries. How could these mere hybrids possibly escape this calamity?

For everyone at Kassel College, the end of the world was imminent. Although they prayed that the alchemical matrix would eventually deploy and withstand this destructive force, no one was certain. They placed all their hopes on a vice-principal who had been slacking off for decades and was now obese beyond recognition. Despite his earlier boasts and unwavering determination—even willing to die in an ice cellar for his bald son—he was determined to deploy the alchemical matrix.

But if it could really be launched, how could there be no movement until now?

Or perhaps the vice principal who was so confident before has already run away.

Of course, they quickly dismissed this idea. No matter what, a father's love for his child is something that cannot be faked. During the phone call between the vice-principal and Manstein, everyone could feel the vice-principal's deep fatherly love. Although he was always unreliable and acted erratically, how could he possibly joke like that when it came to a crucial moment?

The other party was indeed determined to die in activating that alchemical matrix. They might fail, but we shouldn't doubt their resolve.

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, like thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts exploding. The entire sky instantly transformed into a turbulent sea, and within this desolate, dark ocean, thick, twisted white dragons surged wildly, emitting ferocious and bloodthirsty roars—roars that threatened to destroy the world.

At this moment, Lin Ye finally lost his temper. He clasped his hands together, as if activating a mark between heaven and earth, and the huge black sun with a diameter of forty or fifty meters suddenly burst forth.

The intense light seemed to tear a huge rift in the deep sky. A black shockwave, like a waterfall, surged down from this rift, more like thousands of angry dragons breaking free from their cages and roaring as they tried to destroy the world.

In an instant, the entire world fell into a deathly silence.

However, this is like the greatest sound being silent. When the sound is loud enough, it is almost inaudible. But when this crazy shock wave came down, the roar was deafening, like countless thunderbolts compressed together, and finally exploded in a mighty way at this moment.

This is an unprecedented disaster.

The already somewhat dilapidated buildings of Kassel College completely collapsed at this moment, even becoming part of the shockwave. It raged across the entire Kassel College, and all the teachers and students in Wat Alhamri trembled and shook. They were not entirely out of fear, but because the pressure emanating from it was simply too terrifying.

It's human instinct; they simply can't help trembling under such a catastrophe.

But just as they were truly sinking into despair and realizing they were about to die, a sacred aria seemed to echo from the deepest part of the ice cellar. A golden curtain of light suddenly spread out from the depths of the earth, as if splitting open the gates of heaven, and from the depths of that gate, a giant, glowing hand emerged from the ruins, as if to support this collapsing world.

"We're saved! We're saved!!!"

All the teachers and students were incredibly excited to see it. They saw that it was an incomparably large hand, which was also dozens of meters wide.

When the shockwave from Lin Ye's Earth-Exploding Star descended and raged wildly, this palm instantly blocked the calamity's fluctuations. The black and white turmoil surged violently in an instant, yet were so clearly separated, and the space between the two was violently distorted.

The teachers and students were overwhelmed with emotion. They were deeply moved and breathless with excitement, clutching their chests. This was truly a miracle!

They looked at the giant hand with immense excitement. It was this giant hand that had withstood all the disasters and sheltered them from the storm, preventing them from being instantly overwhelmed by the black sun raging torrent unleashed by Lin Ye.

They were incredibly excited, tears streaming down their faces. Many teachers and students also noticed that the godlike hand was emanating from the very bottom of the ice cellar. Many also guessed that the vice principal must have used some unknown means to completely activate the alchemical matrix at a critical moment.

That must be it; it must be the energy emanating from that alchemical matrix that has blocked everything.

In the legends of Kassel, there is indeed an alchemical matrix at the bottom of the ice cellar that can deploy a defense, shaped like a giant hand. Many teachers and students have heard of it, and at the same time, they have even greater respect for the vice principal. If he hadn't gone to all his might, how could he have activated and awakened this alchemical matrix?
