Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Having walked some distance forward, Xu Ying could now see the other person's appearance. He had long, silver-gold hair, which was now stained red with blood. He was wearing tattered silver armor, which was equally shocking to behold.

As Xu Ying saw the other person's appearance, his heart began to pound faster, because he suddenly remembered the silver-haired man sitting on the Iron Throne, whose fate was unknown, that he had seen in the previous illusion.

"Is it him?"

However, just as he was secretly wondering if the two were the same person, the figure in the distance seemed to have already spotted him.

The man with long, silver-gold hair slowly turned his head to look at Xu Ying, his eyes burning with icy blue flames.

"His eyes!"

"He saw me!"

Meanwhile, the envoy from the Golden Heavenly Dynasty felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and instantly stood still, even his breathing seemed to stop.

This was the only person who noticed him among the seven illusions he had entered in the Hall of Immortality. The silver-haired little girl and the silver-haired woman hadn't noticed him at all. The silver-haired woman wearing the Five Dragon Crown only noticed the anomaly the moment Xu Ying left, but Xu Ying himself was unaware of it.

Moreover, the other party's eyes were also very eye-catching, with icy blue flames burning in them. Although Xu Ying did not know what these were, he instinctively sensed a strong sense of danger.

"Oops."

He then tried to turn and run away, but for some reason, it felt like his feet were stuck in a quagmire, and he couldn't move.

"What's going on?!"

Xu Ying was both shocked and furious.

He knew very well that his mind was now very clear and he knew what he was going to do. He was not scared out of his wits, but no matter what he did, he could not control his body. The other person's gaze was like a spell that had frozen him in place, stripping him of control of his body from a great distance.

However, Xu Ying was terrified. This feeling of being at someone's mercy was extremely unpleasant, like a fish nailed to a chopping board. But the silver-haired man in the distance didn't care about this unexpected intruder, an ant that could be crushed with a flick of his wrist.

He was wearing bloodstained and tattered armor. He turned around, reached out and suddenly pulled out the dragon spear in front of him, then roared to the sky.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded before Xu Ying's eyes: the corpse of the dead dragon suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke, as if its soul had been revived. A terrifying roar could be faintly heard from within the black smoke, and then it all rushed into the back of the silver-gold-haired man.

The battle-scarred man in tattered armor underwent an astonishing transformation after absorbing the entire dragon into his body.

His body began to be covered with black scales, his eyes flashed with icy blue flames, and huge wings sprouted from his back, tearing through the last tattered armor and fully revealing his strong muscles, with explosive power hidden beneath his skin.

Rumbling--

Then, with a flap of its enormous wings, billowing air currents spread in all directions. The man with long silver-gold hair rose into the air and hovered in mid-air, his upper body bare, holding a blood-stained dragon spear and bathed in lightning. He roared once again, his voice echoing throughout the entire sky.

"Roar--"

The man with long, silver-gold hair, like a war god, roared as he charged straight into the sky amidst endless thunder, wielding a dragon spear.

On the ground, Xu Ying was kneeling on one knee, his face covered in dust from the shockwave created by the opponent's leap into the air. But he had no time to care about his disheveled state; endless fear filled his heart. And those who were just as fearful as Xu Ying in the illusion were the immortals at the top of the Immortal Palace.

They foresaw that the envoy from the Golden Dynasty would be a key figure in the Dawn War. However, although the immortals had lived for a long time and possessed profound magical energy, they could not accurately predict what role Xu Ying would play in this war or what would happen in the future.

Therefore, the immortals instructed their servant Paiya Puli to invite this messenger from the East into the Temple of Immortality.

They didn't have anything to say to Xu Ying, but rather used the power of the Immortal Palace to let Xu Ying roam freely in the world of illusion, allowing them to observe from an outsider's perspective.

These images are a mixture of truth and illusion, from which the immortals discern the truth and thus foretell the direction of the future.

However, their plan to foresee the future by using the power of the Temple of Immortality and Xu Ying's special identity encountered a strong backlash.

They did see an astonishing amount of information, but they were unable to process it. As the silver-haired man soared into the sky, the power of the Temple of Immortality began to expand rapidly, reaching its peak almost instantly!

These immortals, who survived by deceiving the years, initially tried to stabilize this rapidly expanding power and preserve the foundation of the Temple of Immortality.

But they abandoned the plan in the next second, because the rapidly expanding force was already dozens or hundreds of times greater than their control limit!

It's like a gently flowing stream facing the vast ocean!

"escape!"

Then, on the top floor of the Hall of Immortality, the immortals, who had lived for countless years like mummies, gathered around a round table and decisively gave up, preparing to scatter and flee.

They had all hidden here, clinging to life, and naturally cherished their lives. So they turned into smoke and scattered in all directions, trying to escape the Hall of Immortality. No one cared about Xu Ying, who was still in the illusion.

Unfortunately, the immortals who attempt forbidden realms beyond their reach will inevitably suffer the backlash of those forbidden realms, and it is too late to escape now.

The Immortal Palace has no windows, so they would have to fly down from the top floor to the first floor and open the door to escape, but now they don't even have that much time.

Xu Ying, trapped in the illusion, was naturally unaware of what was happening outside, nor was he aware of the Immortals' malicious intentions in using him.

He was now facing a similar crisis. After the silver-haired man soared into the sky, the earth began to tremble and fire rained down from the sky. Xu Ying, disregarding his fear, ran forward desperately. Finally, he saw a door, grabbed the doorknob, pulled it open, and escaped.

Xu Ying escaped through the back door of the Temple of Immortality, plopped down on the ground, and gasped for breath.

He didn't know what was happening, and then the immortal temple, which had existed for an unknown period of time, exploded before his eyes.

Chapter 828 Ocean Beast

A massive explosion occurred in Qarth, destroying the Temple of Immortals in a surge of magical energy. Apart from Xu Ying, the envoy from the Golden Dynasty to the Valyrian Empire who narrowly escaped, all the other immortals perished within the Temple of Immortals.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Viserys was suddenly awakened from his sleep in Kohol's bedroom.

In fact, given Viserys' current abilities, he no longer needs sleep or even food. However, he still maintains the habit of sleeping and eating three meals a day at regular times.

Because this would constantly remind him that he was still a human being, even if he didn't eat much in one meal and didn't waste food, and the world didn't lack his little bit of food.

The reason Viserys suddenly woke up from his sleep was actually... he had a nightmare.

The young man with silver-gold hair sat up in bed, put on a coat, and then lit the candle by the bedside.

"what happened?"

His brows were slightly furrowed, and the reason for this was simple: he had stopped having nightmares long ago.

While Viserys has not yet reached his peak in other aspects, his spiritual power has leaped to a level close to that of a god since he devoured the remaining divine power of the old gods.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could use his mental power to cover the entire King's Landing. Of course, if he didn't want to, he could also completely gather his mental power into his body and continue to be an 'ordinary person' and experience the joys of being an ordinary person.

However, given Viserys's current mental abilities, he can construct his own dreams, so suddenly having a nightmare is quite unusual, which is why he fell into deep thought.

Viserys' nightmare was actually not complicated. He dreamt that he was on a very brutal battlefield, and even his comrade Balerion had fallen.

In the end, he absorbed the black dragon's soul into his own body and entered a mysterious state. His soul seemed to merge with Bellerion's. Then, he soared into the sky and stormed the heavenly kingdom, vowing to overthrow the gods.

This nightmare seems somewhat surreal, but considering Viserys's past actions, it's not entirely without precedent.

Will I ever reach this point in my future?

Viserys wasn't sure either, but the idea of ​​him merging with Bellerion's soul was something he had never considered before.

Then his mind raced, and he remembered seeing a man dressed as an Asian in his nightmare. The man was the only human survivor in that nightmare besides himself, and the man's attire was very familiar to him.

He knew that there was a dynasty in this world similar to the one in his previous life, which was the barbarian lands far in the East, but Westeros was located on the Sea of ​​Sunset, and the two were too far apart.

Even among ordinary people, there was very little contact, limited to shipping and trade. As for the official entities, they were only aware of each other's existence, but never had any contact with each other.

"Something's unusual..."

Viserys felt a slight doubt rising in his mind; there were many suspicious points in the whole matter. But he quickly put it aside. In any case, it was a nightmare, and now that he had woken up, he could not return to the world in the dream.

Moreover, now that we have this reminder, we will definitely be more careful in the future and will not easily venture into dangerous situations that could threaten us.

Recently, the human coalition has been continuously gathering at the main base of Kohol. Some of the faster advance troops have already arrived, and human soldiers who fled from the east are being received here one after another.

Reports from the front lines are now frequent. It is known that the kingdoms of Everviron, Ober, Salor, the Dothraki holy city of Vis Dothraki, and Mount Meru, the sacred mountain in the hearts of the steppe people, have all fallen, and vast swathes of land have become forbidden zones.

The Dothraki, led by their 'King' Mengo, offered no resistance and decisively abandoned the holy city and Mount Santa Maria, migrating eastward.

They rescued many civilians and defeated soldiers along the way, driving them away from the White Walkers.

Although the rise and fall of the nation brings sorrow to the people, there is a pressing issue: even if these people are destined not to survive this winter, they cannot die here.

Even if they die, their bodies must be burned promptly, otherwise they will rise again to fight for the Night King when the cold wind blows.

Since the establishment of the human alliance, although the armies from all over the world have not yet been fully assembled, intelligence has been established. People exchange information about the White Walkers and eventually discovered some clues about their activities.

"After the fall of Iban, the White Walkers quickly landed on Essos."

"How do these guys swim across Whale Bay? As far as I know, Whale Bay is very deep?"

"Don't you know? Iban has a lot of ships, and the White Walkers can use these ships to row over."

Someone asked a question, another person explained, and at that moment, a prince from the Kingdom of Auber raised his hand tremblingly and spoke.

“I heard from the lowly people below that he claimed to have witnessed a legion of the dead emerging from the sea.”

"They won't drown anyway, so maybe they just walked here from the seabed?"

However, the prince's words drew ridicule from others.

"Your Highness should know that there is pressure at the bottom of the sea, and the deeper you dive, the greater the pressure."

"Although I don't know how much pressure there is at the bottom of the sea, I imagine that even if these scum don't drown, they would have been crushed into powder long ago if they really wanted to walk over from the seabed."

This prince of the Kingdom of Ober clearly had never swum before, which is why he uttered such ignorant words.

The old man's face flushed red at the mockery, but with his country now occupied and needing aid from outsiders, he could only remain subdued and meek, even if he wanted to lash out.

"However, it is possible that they marched along the coast from New Iz to the Ober Peninsula and then launched a surprise attack."

At this moment, a gray-robed man from Braavos spoke calmly, and his words caused everyone present to nod slightly.

That statement makes some sense. After the fall of New Is, these dead people suddenly appeared on the Auber Peninsula, catching the allied forces off guard. Subsequently, the Kingdom of Auber and the Kingdom of Salor quickly fell. Now it seems that this is the most likely scenario.

"besides."

Then the gray-robed man holding the key's expression became slightly serious.

"I received news from the front yesterday that Braavos's naval fleet has arrived at Iban Island, but has been attacked by some sea monsters."

"Just a heads-up, the ocean may not be safe anymore."

Chapter 829 Essence

The key-keeper at the Cohort headquarters representing Braavos was a man named Besaro.

The Key Keeper was an official of the Braavos Iron Treasury and a descendant of the twenty-three founders of the Iron Treasury. Therefore, if anyone was qualified to represent Braavos at the Allied headquarters, the Key Keeper was certainly qualified.

Yesterday, news reached Bessalonian that Braavos's invincible fleet had sailed ahead of them to their battle zone, cutting off the White Walkers' retreat to Iban and burning their ships used for crossing the sea.

However, Braavos's fleet, struggling to advance in the dark, encountered other troubles before they even reached the edge of Iban Island.

That is, some marine creatures have started attacking the ships.

Whale Bay, as its name suggests, is a bay in the Turbulent Sea, located on the southwestern coast of Iban Island. Many small Iban islands are situated within it. The waters here are warm, and large, gentle marine creatures have lived here year-round. As a result, the tough Iban people also have a tradition of hunting whales.
