Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

——The author's thoughts——

Compared to twisted and crazy plots, the author still prefers pure love that progresses step by step (such as "My Heart is Dangerous" - I emphasize again)

In addition, the author really wants to sigh that it is difficult to satisfy everyone, and can only figure it out on his own (sad)

——The most important thing——

I'll take a day off tomorrow :P

Volume: Volume 2: Tide of Ambition

1. Born in death clothes

“We know the vastness of space from the earth to the stars, but we are lost between the ground and the skull.”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shiina Riki, who was working in a cafe, heard Naruse Ritsu sitting in a wheelchair and reciting poetry in her ear with a meaningful tone. Her mood was like a swing that swung to the highest point and then suddenly broke, with an indescribable sense of leap.

Even though there were no other customers in the shop at the moment, Shiina Ritsuha Rin, knowing she couldn't win a verbal battle with him, could only choose to keep quiet. But after a while, with nothing else to do, her eyes unconsciously shifted to Naruse Ritsu's legs and wheelchair.

"Your legs..." She, who always spoke her mind, was a little hesitant at this moment.

Shiina Riki suddenly felt that he shouldn't bring up this topic - even though the other party didn't seem to care.

Despite still wearing sunglasses, Naruse Ritsu seemed to see through her thoughts and simply smiled, "I'm just recuperating for a while. Although I think traveling in a wheelchair is a very novel experience, I'm not curious enough to want to use a wheelchair forever."

"Yeah……"

Shiina Riki couldn't help but scold himself in his heart.

She had wanted to take this opportunity to thank him, but she couldn't even have a normal conversation. Deng had made such a huge change, but she was still so out of shape—it was really embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Shiina Riki became decisive again.

Without having to make such sharp eye contact with him, she felt that he looked so good in sunglasses, and even spoke a little louder unconsciously.

"Um...thank you."

Feeling that this was a bit incoherent, she added, "If it weren't for your help, that live..."

Seeing the smile on the other person's face, an inexplicable sense of shame gradually rose, making it difficult for her to say the following words.

Hidden behind the sunglasses was a look of confusion. Mingse Ritsu suddenly asked, "What do you think of Su Shi's affairs, Riki? Is the "Spirit Induction" also a weapon? "

"That girl lost her temper on her own, and no one is willing to take care of her except you." Slightly dissatisfied with his practice of mentioning someone now, Shiina Riki snorted coldly and directly expressed his true thoughts.

Except me...

After silently repeating these words in his mind, Ritsu Narose couldn't help but sigh.

Everything Nagasaki Suyo did was from her own perspective, without ever considering the other person's thoughts - or rather, she was judging others based on her own thoughts.

The situation in which she is now imprisoned was caused by herself.

Still young, she lacks extensive experience and a way to break the deadlock. When faced with unexpected difficulties, she will likely remain stubborn and stubborn, even if she hits a wall.

I had no intention of defending Nagasaki Suyo, but when Naruse Ritsu fell silent, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little depressing.

"So you are going to save her now?" When she said this, even Shiina Riki herself did not notice that her tone was a little jealous.

"Salvation? While what I do may be similar, I don't agree with that statement."

After taking a sip of tea, Naruse Ritsu continued, "One-sided rescue from a superior position often means the rescuer becomes someone they can depend on. If I keep offering her a helping hand, this impression will only deepen."

"If I end up being a flawless character in her eyes, what will her stance become? Someone who constantly relies on a savior is probably no different from an object, right?"

"If this relationship continues, won't she ultimately be left with nothing to give? Completely depriving a life of its means of survival... It's truly horrific."

After saying this, he took off the sunglasses he had put on before going out today.

The gentle look was completely different from the sharpness that Shiina Riki saw that night. It was hard to imagine that two completely different emotions could appear so harmoniously in the same person.

"I'd like to ask Lixi for a favor."

"……what?"

She had no idea what Ritsu Narose was thinking, but the joy and pride of being needed quietly filled her chest.

"What do you want me to do?"

However, when she heard what the other party had asked her to do, her joy was replaced by confusion...

……

In a dark windowless room, Tian Huilong was resting with his eyes closed.

She quite liked this room without any furniture. When she was in it, she seemed to have returned to the time before her transformation - without eyes, she could only use the scattered scales to explore the world.

Life is a pure flame. Sitting in a room filled with only silence and herself, the fire in her heart continues to burn.

The floor, the walls, the ceiling—the cold walls formed this small box, and she could hardly endure the thirst and torment in her heart.

Without using scale powder to sense the surrounding space, she was like a blind nun in black and white clothes, carefully groping for the old book beside her.

Soon, my fingertips felt the curled-up footer of the book.

Carefully picking it up, she held the book that recorded the life of the Black Eclipse Dragon's transformation into the Sky Return Dragon against her chest, as if praying silently.

And this is exactly her recollection of the past.

When she transformed from a Black Eclipse Dragon into a Sky Return Dragon, not only did she gain eyes to see, but her once hazy memories also became clearer.

Before becoming Black Eclipse Dragons, the fate of those infected with the Mad Dragon Virus was already destined to be [parasitized].

In addition to using methods such as high-temperature burning, low-temperature freezing, and burial at the bottom of the sea, the infected person will inevitably become a chaotic breeding ground for the growth and hatching of black dragons after death.

Their fate was determined during their lifetime, but when the young black dragon stumbled out of the corpse, their fate was unlikely to be glorious.

Fragile young creatures cannot inherit the will of the deceased and must endure a perilous growth period. However, when the population base expands to a certain size, a few outliers will always emerge.

Fortunately, she is an "outlier".

She had heard that there was an area called Sky Mountain near a human village, and that area was the place where a Sky Dragon transformed.

A Black Eclipse Dragon in the metamorphosis stage will instinctively head to Sky Mountain, where it will fight for a chance of survival and transform into a Sky Return Dragon.

Instinct compels the Black Eclipse Dragons to compete in the fight. They never consider whether their instincts, influenced by the Tianhui Dragon they have never met, will be suppressed if they are far away from this fateful place.

But if they disperse, will they have a greater chance of successfully transforming themselves and avoid the tragedy of stopping their growth and development, or being forced to be interrupted during the transformation?

2. How to ask the heavens about destiny

From the perspective of a transcendent, the phenomenon of the Black Eclipse Dragon being out of control of its instincts and undergoing scattered transformation is bound to cause even greater damage to the ecology.

But for those black-clad entangled dragons in cages, they can do anything as long as it can increase their own transformation success rate.

Unfortunately, most of them are unable to recognize this instinct - let alone fight it.

Therefore, she seems particularly special and lucky.

As a Black Eclipse Dragon, she was not influenced by her instincts and completed her transformation in a relatively safe place among the mountains.

After becoming a Tianhui Dragon, she was inspired by some unknown source to discover another Tianhui Dragon that had spread the dust and given birth to her, and she successfully killed it while it was seriously injured.

Many regions worship Tianhuilong as a god, but for Tianhuilong, the so-called "reincarnation" is just a dark history in the physical sense.

The birth of Tianhui Dragon originated from the fear of death during the Black Eclipse Dragon period. Once she completely breaks free from the shackles of fear, the meaning of her past existence will become weak.

A lonely figure wanders in the mountains, wanting to drift away alone with the waves - this is undoubtedly the most true portrayal of her.

Therefore, when she saw the book that recorded the growth and transformation of the Black Eclipse Dragon into the Sky Return Dragon from a bystander's perspective, she felt for the first time that she was not alone in the world, and that even if she was alone, she still had the power to maintain her own life.

Aren’t the words in the book written about herself?

The pain she had experienced finally found someone who could empathize with her, and the confusion that had been nagging her heart finally had an answer. It was from that book that she learned the names of the [Black Eclipse Dragon] and the [Heavenly Return Dragon], and only then did she realize the vastness of the world.

From then on, the platinum halo symbolizing reincarnation fell to the ground and began to look for a confidant who could understand her.

She believed that she was born with "good luck", otherwise it would be impossible to explain why she could successfully transform into a Tianhui Dragon, nor why she would get relevant clues in a remote place where the only thing to be praised was the hot springs.

Thanks to the Nergigante, she completed the leap from nothing to something. The clues that had originally yielded nothing now became so numerous that it gave her a headache.

Although the opponent's XP is suspected to be different from that of ordinary ancient dragons, she is not a normal ancient dragon either, so there is no problem at all!

Her instigation of Nergigante was just an insignificant test. With her great luck, she was confident that she would not fail.

Walking out of the dark room, she solemnly placed the book she got from her original world into the storage box, and then filled it with props such as desiccant to protect the book.

After doing all this, she left her home and walked around the city freely.

She doesn't mind facing unfamiliar roads, as she believes that under the guidance of fate, everything will lead to the most favorable development for her.

She walked like this for several hours without feeling tired.

And when the right moment arrived, she saw a human she had met a few days ago. If she remembered correctly, that human's name seemed to be "Takamatsu Deng"?

Drawing on her experience in human cities, she put on a warm and friendly smile and walked straight towards the girl who was talking silently, and took the initiative to greet her.

Then she saw a book in the girl's hand.

——Its title is "Poem of the Heavenly Returning Dragon"...

……

"Are you sure you want me to persuade Nagasaki Suyo?"

Hearing Naruse Ritsu's request, Shiina Riki was surprised and felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction. And seeing the expression on the girl's face, it was not difficult to guess what she was thinking.

"As for the battering ram, I think Li Xi is the most suitable role."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing these rude remarks, Shiina Riki's eyes suddenly became fierce.

However, since Ritsu Narose could even withstand Nergigante's [High Five Attack], Shiina Riki's [Glare] was bound to have little effect.

"Apart from Aine, only you and Takamatsu Deng are suitable to speak out." To be honest, there was no trace of hypocrisy in his eyes when he looked at the other party.

"And Toyokawa Shoko, you obviously know her, right? Why not just let her go find that guy?"

"Her?" Naruse Ritsu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "If she comes...it will only backfire."

Seeing that Shiina Riki was completely unaware of the consequences of summoning Toyokawa Shoko, Naruse Ritsu couldn't help but smile in admiration: "That's your problem, Riki-chan~"

"Gu..."

Irritated by his attitude, but unable to find anything to make her angry, Shiina Riki could only turn her head and ignore him like a child throwing a tantrum.

After a while, when she shifted her gaze slightly and glanced at Ritsu Narose, she found that the other party was still looking at her with a relaxed expression, as if he was sure that she would not compete for too long.

His face suddenly felt a little hot, and Shiina Riki could only turn around, pick up a glass and pretend that he was busy.

"Although Li Xi sometimes puts pressure on everyone and even insults people without giving them face, Li Xi does this for the sake of the team rather than for his own selfish reasons. So I think..."

"All right—I'll go!"

Unable to resist such direct praise, Shiina Riki blushed and immediately turned around and shouted to Naruse Ritsu with his eyes closed.

"Always saying such strange things..." She looked down at the spotless glass in her hand, muttering softly while violently ravaging the senior employee.

Seeing that she agreed, Ritsu Naruse continued to explain why he did not look for Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma.

The former was just an outsider in the matter of [CRYCHIC], and the awkward relationship between them and Naruse Ritsu made it uncomfortable for her to go into more depth;

Although the latter was sharp-minded, she was unable to break through Nagasaki Soyo's defense without assistance, just as she broke through Toyokawa Shoko's heart wall, as she did with Nagasaki Soyo's, who adopted the tactic of building a strong defense and clearing the countryside.

"So you want me to quarrel with her?" After hearing his reasons, Shiina Riki suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"That's a harsh statement... but it's surprisingly accurate."

"You're really mean, treating your girlfriend like this." Thinking of the possible scenes that might happen later, Shiina Riki continued, "I don't care anyway, but that guy will probably be very sad, right?"

"Loving someone doesn't mean you have to tolerate them endlessly." Naruse Ritsu's tone was particularly decisive at this moment. "Besides, sadness isn't ugly. I love all the emotions hidden beneath that radiant exterior."

Even though these words were not directed at himself, Shiina Riki's heartbeat still quickened for a moment because of these frank words.

3. Captured (2-in-1)

Arriving at the agreed location on time, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't find Naruse Ritsu. Instead, Shiina Riki was sitting alone at the place they had agreed on.

A flash of doubt passed through her mind, and she immediately realized what Ritsu Narose meant.
