I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

When asked by his boss, Mudman Grom's flippant voice came through the base's communication device, tinged with a hint of amusement.

"Speak up now, or I'll tear you apart!"

"Hey hey hey, do you remember when the Flame Demon redirected that giant beam of light? That beam actually returned to the Scaled Blood Clan's territory, and now it's a complete mess."

"What?! The beam was actually reflected back towards Japan?!"

Upon hearing this, Crimson immediately went to the equipment and personally began to review the information about the Scaled Blood Clan that her subordinates had collected.

According to intelligence reports, the Moonscale Dragon's territory city is now a burned-out ruin.

Originally, Crimson didn't understand why the mad dragon had been bombarding the Sun God Cult with ultra-long-range beams more often lately.

After seeing this information, he finally understood completely: that guy was venting his anger.

Crimson was truly surprised that the Flame Demon possessed such abilities.

They were able to deflect an attack that spanned half the globe, and with such accuracy.

"This is troublesome. Now I can be 100% certain that the Scaled Blood Clan will definitely join forces with the Roaring Blood Clan to target the Flame Demon."

After reading the intelligence, Crimson rubbed his forehead in exasperation. This was a good thing for him, who intended to exterminate the vampire clan, but the consequences that would follow would be quite troublesome.

Previously, the Flame Demon posed a significant threat only to the Roaring Blood Clan, but now it has also affected the Scaled Blood Clan.

Based on what Crimson knew about them, they must have already sent people to Hell Valley to discuss how to deal with the Flame Demon.

"Chimera!"

Suddenly, Crimson called out the name of another subordinate.

"Yes, please give your orders."

Responding to Crimson's call, a girl with heterochromatic eyes and cat ears and a black tail slowly emerged from the shadows of the base.

The other party immediately knelt on one knee in front of Crimson upon appearing, awaiting the other party's command.

Like Grom, the girl is one of Crimson's subordinates.

"You and Grom's physical body on Earth go find the Balrog, and notify me immediately after you find him."

Scarlet's eyes looked strange when she gave this order.

Because what he was looking at wasn't the chimera servant, but rather the tail behind the chimera that resembled a snake's head.

And the snake-like tail nodded slightly to Crimson.

He knew that Scarlet was talking to him.

............

Meanwhile, Duanmu Lian, who was being watched by various forces around the world, had long since left Hell Valley and gone to the border city of the kingdom where she had first arrived.

After entering the makeshift base she had left behind, Duanmu Lian began to treat her injuries.

"Gulp, gulp..."

At this moment, Duanmu Lian tilted her head back, holding a container filled with red liquid in her hand and pouring it into her mouth.

This is a life-alchemy potion; he had brought quite a few with him in his spatial ring before coming to this other world.

After drinking all of this, Duanmu Lian took out the Quark Repair Robot from her spatial ring and put it in her mouth, instructing it to treat the minor damage inside her body.

This time, when she soloed the Roaring Blood Clan, Duanmu Lian anticipated the possibility of an unexpected turn of events.

It could be the Sun God Cult, or it could be other vampire clans.

The probability of other dragon kings intervening was not high in his expectations, but he just happened to encounter it.

"Fortunately, it was a very fruitful experience."

Feeling her internal injuries rapidly healing with the help of the Quark robot, Duanmu Lian also took out the hearts of the Illusion Mist Dragon and the Labyrinth Dragon, as well as some body tissue of the Yan Shi Dragon from her spatial ring.

In addition to these, Duanmu Lian also obtained cloned cell samples of the Time Saintess from the Sun God Cult.

Although he hated being stopped by time, the cult's ability to mass-produce so many people with the ability to stop time meant that their value was no less than that of a high-ranking dragon.

In various other fields, time magic can accomplish very convenient things.

For example, if Duanmu Lian consumes experimental materials without obtaining the desired results during her experimental research, she can simply revert the materials back to conduct the experiment again.

One set of experimental materials can be reused countless times.

As for the Sun God Cult's efficiency in utilizing the Saintess of Time's abilities, to be honest, Duanmu Lian really wanted to punch those guys.

It wasn't because they treated human life like dirt, but because their use of the Time Saintess Karula was limited to logistical support and medical treatment.

It's a wasteful and inefficient approach.

Soon after recovering from all her injuries, Duanmu Lian began studying the materials she had taken from the high-ranking dragon and the Dragon King.

Three days later...

"Just as I thought, these dragons, like me, are all invasive species..."

Inside the laboratory, Duanmu Lian, having taken off her protective suit, looked at the experimental report she had recorded in her hand, her eyes filled with irrepressible curiosity.

Previously, he had only studied lower-level dragons and mid-level dragons, as well as Jackie Chan, who could use magic.

Now that he has obtained the materials from the high-ranking dragons and the Dragon King, Duanmu Lian has completely confirmed that these dragons, like him, are outsiders to this world.

Because all things in this world contain "qi".

However, there was not a single trace of "qi" within the dragon's body.

The magic flowing through their veins is somewhat out of place in this world.

Magic is an external force that can change the world; it is not a force that originally existed in the world.

For the world, this external force wants to change its operating mode, just like humans turning into zombies.

Nowadays, all people in the world who can use magic possess the racial characteristics of the demon bloodline.

Previously, he encountered Kamui, the Dragon Saintess of the Sun God Cult, and others.

This is a kind of influence and impact on the current world.

In order to resist this external force, the silver energy, which can stop this magic that wantonly changes the world, was born.

Silver energy can stop and freeze magic!

It acts like an antibody against a virus, preventing magic from influencing and interfering with the current world.

The yang energy absorbed by Duanmu Lian can be extremely damaging to vampires, but it lacks the [magic-breaking] and [magic-suppressing] effects of silver energy.

"Buzz!"

Setting down the lab report, Duanmu Lian's hand revealed a supernatural power interwoven with pitch black and pale white.

Then, under the operation of the Bagua Furnace within the body, this power began to transform into Yang energy, and with continued operation, it transformed back into supernatural power.

Over time, Duanmu Lian's supernatural powers, like the nature transformation of chakra, acquired a change in yang energy.

By training alongside the King of Minions, he perfected a combat technique based on the Yang energy attribute that suited him.

The manifestation of his application of Yang energy is the various heat-based techniques he used before, with the Ultraman-like beam being just one of them.

"Let's try silver energy next..."

With that, Duanmu Lian walked into another room in the base.

Inside the room were nearly ten tons of silver metal and ore that he had purchased.

He arranged the items imbued with silver energy neatly, and then, based on the memory database in his brain, drew a small spirit-gathering array on the ground.

Then, he sat cross-legged in the very center of the formation, closed his eyes, and spread his spiritual power to sense the silver energy.

call---!

Accompanied by Duanmu Lian's strange breathing rhythm, he activated the Seven Treasures Wonderful Breathing Technique.

Rainbow-like wisps of energy emanated from his body and landed on the silver metal and ore.

He tried to connect his own energy with the silver energy and found that the silver energy resonated most strongly with the metal attribute energy among the seven treasures of wondrous energy.

Considering that 99% of the silver energy in this world is contained in silver metal, Duanmu Lian understood and then began to use her own energy to guide the silver energy into her body.

In the Five Elements theory of the human body, the heart corresponds to fire, the liver to wood, the spleen to earth, the lungs to metal, and the kidneys to water.

The five elements within the Seven Treasures of Wonder nourish these five internal organs, while the yin and yang poles serve as a connection and harmonizer.

After the silver energy was drawn into Duanmu Lian's body, a strange change also occurred in his body.

"Click—click—click—click—"

A cracking sound, like the sound of a body breaking after stiffening, came from Duanmu Lian's body.

At the same time, an unusual, excruciating pain erupted within his body.

"Cough—"

Duanmu Lian suddenly opened his eyes, coughed up a drop of silvery blood, and looked down at his body, discovering that his flesh and blood were turning into silver metal.

This wasn't a rejection reaction from the body, but rather the effects on the body were so obvious that he stopped.

A body affected by silver energy will be transformed into another form by the silver energy. The intense pain that Duanmu Lian just felt was precisely this process of drastic change.

Moreover, while his supernatural powers and silver energy did not repel each other, they were also completely incompatible.

The two completely different energies are incompatible and do not interfere with each other in the body, which has a huge impact on Duanmu Lian's body.

Because silver energy occupies a significant portion of the power flow space, and since the two are incompatible, Duanmu Lian's combat power will be greatly reduced.

What Duanmu Lian needs is to give her supernatural powers a silver attribute transformation.

With the silver aura's special attack against magic, his white iron will be several levels more lethal to mages.

But now, a problem has arisen.

"Incompatible energy... Let's think of a solution first. If all else fails, let's abandon this attribute change."

Having stopped absorbing the silver energy, Duanmu Lian stood up and looked at the silver ore. He needed to find a way to solve the problems of absorbing, controlling, and fusing the silver energy.
