Becoming a Shadow in the New World

Each time Sid fell, it was as if this madman had rightfully pulled the trigger on the loaded cylinder and died.

Yes, it's only natural, not unlucky. Five bullets can only be considered natural, but only one bullet can be considered unlucky.

Every time Sid stood up, it was that madman who got up from the ground, laughing and saying that he was just trying to scare them, and that he had only pressed the side without bullets.

So when Sid defeated Lysa, everyone in the arena was excited, because it was a true miracle.

They could confidently tell anyone in the arena, except Sid, that they were confident they could do better with the same configuration.

Even if they were to take over Rias's command, they would still be confident of defeating Raiza, even if the cast remained the same.

Anyone else would have had that confidence, except for Sid…

The question isn't whether they can do it or not; it's whether they'll collapse the moment they take over.

It would be challenging for them to fight an S-level Phoenix with their B-level strength, but it's not impossible. It's just that, based on Lessa's combat level, the probability of winning and losing is about 50/50.

But asking them to fight a crippled phoenix with a dying body, they honestly admitted they couldn't do it.

They could tell that Sid's wounds were truly fatal, the kind of fatal wounds that would not be surprising if he suddenly died or was eliminated.

In the battle between Sid and Lysa, Sid's health bar was practically down to just one drop throughout the entire fight.

Using this body to fight against others, it all depends on how long the invincibility lasts; once the invincibility disappears, you will die instantly.

"It was really a great battle. It seems the trip was worthwhile."

Seeing that most people were satisfied with the match, Sazex breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Ajax, and secretly signaled Ajax to dispel the alternate dimension, only to see Ajax's anxious eyes.

Realizing something was wrong, Sazex immediately looked into the alternate dimension within the arena.

A hazy white mist drifted out from another dimension and spread throughout the entire area without anyone noticing.

Because the white mist was too thin, and since Leisa had already been defeated, it was time to dispel the alternate dimension and announce who had won, so none of the powerful figures in the arena realized anything was wrong.

I wanted to do something, but it was too late.

Almost at the same moment that Sazex realized something, the thin white mist in the arena instantly spread out, thickened, and lost its original transparency, making it difficult for everyone to see each other. Spatial fluctuations appeared at the edge of the white mist.

A sudden tremor shook the earth, and the dim sky of the underworld above the venue vanished, replaced by a void of darkness where nothing existed.

"A dimensional rift? Interesting!"

The powerful figures in the arena quickly recognized the location where they had been teleported: the gap between the main world and the subordinate world—the dimensional gap.

"They're really confident, aren't they afraid of blocking their own escape route?"

Instead of panicking, the group, realizing they had been attacked by terrorists, began to look around with interest, wanting to know who had attacked them.

To be honest, they had considered the possibility of a terrorist attack before they came, but as the saying goes, with this lineup, even if Shiva, the sixth-ranked god of destruction in the world, dared to act recklessly, they could kill him. Rather than worrying about them, they should worry about terrorists.

With a deliberate search, they quickly found something amiss in the scene.

It wasn't terrorists who appeared; rather, several powerful individuals who had come with them became extremely weak and looked very unwell. These powerful individuals all had one thing in common—they were dragons.

"This fog... is poisonous..."

One of the fallen dragons pointed out the source of their current state, and upon hearing the explanation, everyone looked around at the mist.

They didn't feel anything wrong with their bodies, so the fog must have been specifically designed for dragons. Since they didn't notice anything unusual about the fog either, the amount of poison used by the mastermind must have been very small.

Such a tiny amount of poison is enough to knock these powerful individuals to the ground. Why does this poison feel so familiar?

"Dragon Eater?"

"Samael?"

Two people in the group seemed to remember something and named a suspect.

“Yes, if it’s Samael, even if the poison is so small that we can’t detect it, it’s enough to weaken the dragons.”

The forbidden entity in the Bible that tempted the inhabitants of the Garden of Eden to eat the fruit of knowledge, the primordial sin—Samael, the dragon eater.

He alone bore all the malice, resentment, and curses stemming from God's hatred of dragons in the Bible.

Therefore, it is extremely poisonous, affecting not only beings other than dragons, but also potentially causing the extinction of dragons.

Having understood the source of the poison, everyone looked at each other in disbelief, their expressions changing drastically. Gone was their initial interest; instead, their eyes widened as they realized something.

Although they couldn't smell it, they believed that they, now in the white mist, must have also been tainted by the scent of the Dragon Eater Samael.

And that's the problem.

Being teleported to a dimensional rift is not a problem, nor is being tainted by Samael's aura.

However, the fact that he carries Samael's aura and appears in a dimensional rift raises serious questions.

"Roar!!!"

Three dragon roars, some loud, some eerie, and some hollow, echoed through the dimensional gap.

Within the dimensional rift, there exists a top-five world powerhouse, the Great Red, and two other world enemies who have been hunted by the Great Red for over a year and are also top-five world powerhouses.

That's not the point. The point is that these three... are all dragons.

Now, appearing in the dimensional rift, still carrying the aura of Samael, who is special against dragons, is like slapping these three awake from their slumber. Samael's aura has the power to attract all three of them.

As for why these three dared to come after smelling the aura of Samael, the nemesis of the dragon race, it's because it was just Samael's aura, not Samael himself.

The Dragon Special Forces and the Dragon Clan cannot be said to be related as light and darkness, but they are close. If their strength is similar or slightly different, they will naturally be invincible. However, Samael's aura will only draw the Dragon Clan's hatred and make the opponent fight harder.

Just as the group was about to embark on a fierce battle that could easily result in total annihilation, Sid realized he might be in trouble.

Suppressing the body's natural recovery for too long has made the fatal injury truly fatal.

Sid, wake up! Cao Cao and his group have already started their plan. You died from a magic explosion, such a pathetic way to die is nothing to a powerful person.

Chapter 107 Three Dragon Gods Clash, Shadow Appears

The World Battlefield is a separate alternate dimension where the strongest warriors of the merged three worlds (referred to as the New World) battle enemies from another world.

This battlefield space has a very magical rule—balance. The combat power ceiling of the powerful beings from the new world and the enemies from the other world is always balanced within this space.

The line that breaks this balance is determined by the New World.

If there is a top 15 player from the New World on the World Battlefield, then there can only be two SSS players on the World Battlefield: one from the New World and one from the Otherworld.

Similarly, if the New World sends two of the world's top fifteen, the upper limit of the number of SSS-level powerhouses on the battlefield will suddenly be limited to four or less, and the Other World can also send two SSS-level powerhouses.

Undoubtedly, this is a rule that is very friendly to the New World, because in terms of the number of strong people, the other world is definitely superior to the New World. Without this rule, the New World would not have been able to fight against the other world for more than a year.

But that's all there is to it, because the upper limit of this combat power can only be increased, not decreased.

If the New World sends three of the world's top fifteen strongest warriors, and one of the SSS-level warriors is accidentally injured and needs healing or is killed by the enemy, the maximum number of SSS-level warriors will still be three.

The maximum number of powerful individuals that can be dispatched from another world will not decrease from three to two; it will remain at three.

If no one can fill the missing top 15 spot, then the outcome of two world top 15s versus three SSSs is predictable.

This is an unfair war of attrition. On one side is an alternate world where even if someone dies, a stronger one will immediately take their place. On the other side is a new world where one can only accept being injured and needs to be replaced in turns (refer to the eternal war between the gods of High School DxD and 666).

Normally, no one would know about this rule, because it was only proposed and confirmed after the New World and the Other World had been at war for some time.

In general, if a normal world is invaded by another world, the world that can gather most of its power will immediately gather most of its power and rush to the world battlefield without being informed.

This move will also cause the upper limit of the world's strongest warriors to reach a number that cannot be completed in a cycle. In the end, 99% of that world will be defeated and invaded by the other world using human wave tactics because the number of strong warriors consumed cannot keep up with the number of strong warriors that are restored.

The reason why the New World was able to discover this rule is actually somewhat ironic. Each faction is worried that if they send all their strongest warriors, they will be stabbed in the back by the other two worlds. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they will never send a single strong warrior to the World Battlefield.

I can understand. For people from the three worlds, the other two worlds that have merged with their own world are no different from other worlds; they are all people from other worlds.

Then, by chance, someone discovered the rules of balance on the world battlefield.

The dimensional rift is the primary battlefield of the world, while the alternate dimension where the powerful beings of the new world are fighting against those from another world is the secondary battlefield.

Just as the three worlds merged and the powerful beings of the three worlds realized that the worlds had merged, what arrived even earlier than the hostility and attacks from the other two worlds towards their own world after the worlds merged was the energy impact from the dimensional gaps on the human world, the underworld, Olympus, the World Tree of Norse mythology, and other worlds possessed by the human world.

Some of the powerful figures in World One immediately realized that a Dragon God-level expert was fighting against the Great Red, and the energy shock of this indiscriminate attack was the aftershock of the battle between Dragon God-level experts.

In just a few minutes, these energy attacks emanating from the dimensional rifts caused significant losses to all factions.

Even more terrifying is that these energy shocks did not only last for a few minutes; on the contrary, the frequency of these energy shocks from the dimensional rifts doubled after a few minutes.

The natural and man-made disasters that caused significant losses to various forces only stopped after the Great Red left the dimensional rift and threw the world battlefield into the new world. However, energy surges still occasionally emanated from the dimensional rift and attacked certain forces.

Later, based on the investigations of some of the world's top fifteen, it was discovered that this energy surge was the aftershock of Great Red's attack when it was chasing down two other dragon god-level dragons.

After discovering the balance rules of the World Battlefield, and considering that the World Battlefield was thrown out of the dimensional rift by the Great Red, people easily guessed that the two dragons came from another world.

Three attacks, each a different color but capable of instantly killing a top-fifteen player in the world, simultaneously struck the venue floating in the dimensional gap from three different angles.

Faced with these three attacks, the powerful figures in the arena immediately snapped out of their daze after hearing the dragon's roar.

Now, they are being targeted by these three dragons because of the Samael aura they carry.

Like a sail in a storm, the venue shifted dramatically under the guidance of the crowd, causing the three devastating attacks to collide. The resulting magical power impacted the venue, sending it flying.

Jada looked up and saw the legendary Great Red for the first time.

Crimson dragon scales covered his entire body, yet his enormous size did not appear bulky. His streamlined and beautiful body showcased the powerful physique of the dragon race. Born from a dream, this dream dragon, the Great Red, was known to the world as the "True Crimson God Emperor".

With just one glance, Jiada shifted her gaze to the other two sources of attack.

I have a question: Why does the new world have to fight against the other world? Aren't the other two worlds that have merged with our own world also other worlds?

It had no flesh, only a gigantic skeleton so white it sent chills down your spine, with eerie purple soul flames flickering in its eye sockets, and a skeletal dragon waving its bone wings that were utterly incapable of flight.
