Red Dragon Monster Hunter Template.

Construction within the territory progressed steadily, but after the Dragon Lord fell into slumber, the pace of external expansion mostly stalled, except for the relentless extermination of the Shahua fishmen.

Today, the waters near the northern coast are filled with ships, and countless fleets flying red dragon flags cruise back and forth.

The tamed Koto fishmen, accompanied by giant crocodiles, searched everywhere for traces of the Shahua fishmen, and once they found them, they joined forces to hunt them down.

Thor's men even took the initiative to contact the sea elves and the mermaid tribes, and with their guidance, they found the deep-sea lair of the Shahua fishmen.

However, the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface, acted as a natural barrier, blocking everyone's progress and preventing them from completely eradicating these vile fish-men.

Just when everyone thought the situation would remain unchanged for a long time, the red dragon, which had been sleeping deep underground in the volcano, slowly opened its eyes.

…………

After a long slumber, Thor was still somewhat groggy when he awoke. As his heavy eyelids slowly lifted, two beams of divine light, as dazzling as two blazing suns, burst forth.

What first caught his eye was a cocoon-like energy layer that was interwoven with the colors of the Milky Way and resembled the aurora night sky, enveloping him.

As the enormous dragon claw reached forward and tore with tremendous force, the thick silk cocoon instantly collapsed, transforming into a dazzling torrent of energy that merged entirely into the surrounding churning magma.

Thor looked around and saw that the magma that should have been glowing with white light in Japan had turned into a reddish-gold color, and that molten gold was flowing all over the underground.

The molten gold enveloped his body like warm amniotic fluid, rippling out in beautiful waves with his movements. Its reserves were vast and astonishing; even if all the gold mined in the entire North were collected, it would probably be far less than what was here.

Of this, some of the gold came from the depths of the earth along with underground magma, while the other part was transformed from ordinary rock material by magical influence.

This transformation is usually an extremely slow process, but the Netherworld Dragon template that Thor inherited continuously absorbed a massive amount of primal magic, greatly accelerating the transformation process.

Furthermore, because they had been surrounding Thor for many years, the molten gold was continuously permeated by the energy overflowing from his body, giving birth to a special mutation that was completely different from ordinary gold.

In Monster Hunter World, weapons that have been tempered and refined by Kulve Taroth's molten gold will receive a significant enhancement.

Unable to discern the special abilities hidden within the gold, Thor simply opened his massive maw and inhaled deeply.

Its wide throat instantly formed a huge suction vortex, and its immense power pulled the surrounding molten gold and magma into its belly.

The stomach of a true dragon is divided into many independent compartments, which can freely adjust the strength of digestion; the Floating Mountain Dragon can even raise a large number of giant thunder worms in its body, without digesting them as food.

This large stomach obtained from the Floating Mountain Dragon monster template not only greatly enhances Thor's digestive and absorption efficiency, but also serves as a portable independent storage space, capable of even accommodating living creatures.

Once his size and strength reach an even higher level, Thor will be able to house his minions within his body, much like the colossal beast that carries the heavens and earth in creation myths.

He then reviewed the prompts that appeared in his mind, ignoring the fragmented information that had been added to his essence, and focused his gaze on the three talent attributes related to the Netherworld Dragon.

Thor inherited three top-tier abilities from this forbidden ancient dragon hatchling: [Earth Leyline Absorption], [Perpetual Motion], and [Rapid Regeneration].

They can forcibly connect to and extract the world's primordial energy, thereby rapidly repairing injuries all over the body.

Furthermore, it can construct unique perpetual motion organs within its body, allowing its own energy to form a complete and self-consistent cycle. As long as it does not engage in high-intensity combat, it can maintain its own needs without eating or absorbing external energy.

However, this perpetual motion organ was not yet fully developed. Thor looked down at his chest cavity, where a faint light emanated from beneath the thick scales.

After personally experiencing the surging, powerful force within his body, Thor swung his long dragon tail fiercely and rapidly ascended towards the top of the volcano.

During his slumber, he sensed a powerful force approaching his territory. Now that he has awakened, he is determined to find out which fool dared to offend him.

Even amidst the magma, the enormous red dragon maintained astonishing speed, covering distances of tens of thousands of meters underground in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, the long-dormant Doomsday Volcano unleashed a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the thunderous sound reverberating in all directions, and millions of tons of scalding lava shooting straight into the sky.

Chapter 373 Transfiguration and Spouses

The enormous red dragon soared into the sky along with the gushing lava, its wings spreading out to blot out the sun. The crimson patterns on the wing membranes, which originally resembled surging lava, all contracted and compressed, transforming into dazzling stars embedded on the inside of the wide wing membranes.

A blinding light and scorching heat continuously burst forth from his chest and abdomen, as if a miniature star had been swallowed into his belly, endlessly accumulating energy to incinerate everything.

Thor, facing the howling winds high in the sky, could no longer suppress the pent-up frustration that had accumulated during his long slumber, and roared loudly with his head raised.

The deafening sound waves transformed into thunderous roars that erupted from his mouth, spreading outwards in layers and condensing into rings of shockwaves clearly visible to the naked eye.

All living beings within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were startled by this overwhelming power, and they all looked up at the sky, their faces showing a mixture of fear and awe.

After a long while, Thor finally released all the pent-up frustration he had accumulated during his slumber and slowly turned his head to examine his new body.

The endless primal magic continuously nourished the physical body, allowing the massive physique bestowed by the Lava Dragon monster template to develop well.

Now its total length from head to tail has exceeded 100 meters, and its wingspan when fully extended is a terrifying size of nearly 400 meters.

Its scales still shimmered with a rich, reddish-gold luster, with tiny specks of light clinging to its surface, like stardust drifting and shimmering.

The dragon's horns on its head grew and forked again, and spiky protrusions of varying sizes sprouted from its neck, shoulders, back, rump, tail, and even its entire long body.

This change in appearance did not originate from the Xeno'jiiva template. The power bestowed by that forbidden cub was fully manifested within Thor, at the fundamental level of energy manipulation.

Forked horns and clusters of thorns are simply hallmarks of a dragon nearing adulthood, innate features used to demonstrate its strength and majesty.

Thor clearly sensed that beneath the scales near his lower abdomen at the base of his tail, a brand new organ was constantly stirring and maturing.

He focused his mind and, after a long time, brought up his brief personal information panel again.

Name: Saul Heliozog...

Age: Ancestral youth dragon (in the process of bloodline sublimation)

Monster template in hand: (omitted)

Challenge Level: 30+

This long slumber allowed his red dragon bloodline to cross a huge threshold once again, entering the ranks of the legendary five-colored dragons of his ancestors, who could possess demigod-like combat power even upon reaching adulthood.

The bloodline status on the panel is no longer marked "purified," but instead "sublimated," indicating that the full potential of the red dragon bloodline has been fully developed, but it is still in a stage of continuous improvement.

The challenge level has reached the ceiling that mortals can reach; above that lies the realm of power unique to the gods.

However, many ancient beings that have survived for a long time can break through the challenge level limit of thirty.

For example, the so-called Doomsday Crawler, Dorgothus, is based on an ancient black dragon, with the Dragon Lich advanced template, and top-tier legendary spellcasting ability. With these layers stacked up, its paper challenge level has exaggeratedly reached fifty.

But Thor always felt that this superposition algorithm itself had a huge flaw. It was like mixing two cups of 50-degree Celsius warm water to make 100-degree Celsius boiling water. The logic seemed a bit untenable.

If this simple addition method is followed, and all the powerful monster templates that I have fused are stacked together with CR, the value will not just stay in the early thirties, but will expand to an alarming level.

When one's strength reaches this level, the challenge level only serves as a rough reference. Only a personal duel can determine who is stronger or weaker.

With his mind made up, Thor slowly descended, dragging his massive body. His four feet landed on the giant plaza of the Crimson Flame Palace, which had undergone several expansions. The immense pressure from his heavy body caused the entire magnificent palace to tremble slightly.

The subordinates, who had already been startled by the commotion, stood in front of the palace, offering their most sincere worship and greetings to their supreme dragon lord.

Thor's gaze slowly swept over the servants who were increasingly insignificant compared to himself, lingering only briefly on a few true dragons.

More than a decade has passed, and their physiques have increased to varying degrees, but compared to Thor today, such growth seems insignificant, and the gap between them is widening.

This made Thor secretly think that he must study and master shape-shifting spells as soon as possible.

With his current enormous size, finding a mate that matches him would be incredibly difficult. He couldn't possibly look for ancient dragons or ancient giants of similar size, could he?

The noble Red Emperor looked down on those old, decrepit creatures who had lost their reproductive ability; what use were they?

…………

Thor waved his giant claws, dismissing his fawning minions. Strands of crimson mycelium spread from the ground, gently adhering to his crimson-gold scales.

The psionic energy flowing through the mycelial network instantly transformed into a massive flow of information, flooding into Thor's mind.

Since he fell into a deep sleep, all the events, big and small, that have occurred throughout the entire territory are now clearly and completely unfolding in his consciousness.

This method of transmitting information through mycelial networks is far more efficient than summoning servants one by one for questioning. He had only been awake for a short while when he had a clear understanding of the current situation in the territory.

Most of the intelligence was trivial and uninteresting, not worth the effort. Only the records related to Serco's avatar caught Thor's attention.

A giant shark that has ascended to godhood by sheer luck through ancient primitive beliefs, without any divine allies to support it and with shallow foundations, is undoubtedly an excellent opponent to test its strength.

This is a good opportunity to test and find out just how much power a deity's avatar can unleash when it descends upon the material plane.

Although the idea had taken shape, Thor did not set off immediately.

If the chilling aura sensed during its slumber was indeed emanating from the avatar of Serkola, it would be enough to prove the cunning and caution of this giant shark deity.

If I were to venture directly into the sea, the other party would certainly conceal themselves or even retreat away from the entire nearshore area.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Thor suddenly remembered that there was a nearly adult white dragon in his territory, which had been brought back by Kasoska decades ago. Due to its weakness, it had been forgotten by him for a long time.

Although the White Dragon is jokingly called the shame of the True Dragon, it is more than capable of wiping out the lowly Shahua fish-man tribe.

You can lead your army to destroy the underwater lair of the Sawa fishmen and use it as bait to lure Serkora out. Even if you perish because of the enraged giant shark, you don't have to feel sorry for it.

Having made up his mind, Thor immediately summoned a kobold with dragon veins and ordered it to bring the nameless white dragon to the main hall.

A moment later, light footsteps came from outside the hall. A white dragon, only a little over ten meters long, walked slowly into the hall, its body trembling, stepping on the smooth, mirror-like obsidian floor tiles.

Chapter 374 White Dragon

Milt Orasoto walked cautiously into the magnificent hall, glanced briefly at the giant dragon coiled on the stone platform, and then quickly lowered his head.

As an adult white dragon, his intelligence has reached eight points. Although he is not as intelligent as an ordinary human, he still has complete logical thinking ability, but his thoughts are a little slow.

Milt's past experience of being enslaved by frost giants in his childhood made him more cautious than ordinary white dragons. He would always subconsciously scan his surroundings, wary of any hidden dangers.

Fortunately, more than twenty years ago, fate took a turn for the better when a powerful dragonborn defeated the frost giant who had enslaved him and brought him back to this territory.

To be honest, Milt, being a white dragon, didn't like the climate here. The ever-surging fire element of the Doomsday Volcano filled him with fear at all times.

Aside from that, everything else was impeccable for him: he had an endless supply of meat without having to go out hunting, and all he had to do was stay deep in the cellar and maintain a low-temperature zone using his dragon talent.

If this kind of life could continue, Milt felt he might be content to stay in the cellar until the end of his life.

But today, he was fortunate enough to receive a summons from the great Dragon Lord, and after more than twenty years, he once again stepped into the Crimson Flame Palace atop the volcano.

…………

Facing Thor's true form once again, Milt was instantly overwhelmed by the immense shock, causing his mind to go blank for a brief moment.

That massive, mountain-like body was so enormous that compared to it, I was as insignificant as a lizard, as if it could crush me with a mere swipe of its claws.

Is this the size that the Five-Colored True Dragon can reach? Even the three legendary dragon species in the legends are probably no more than this.

Looking at the thick, heavy magical aura and the scorching, overwhelming pressure like the blazing sun, Milt felt as if his body was about to be melted by the intense heat with just a glance, which was extremely terrifying.

Milt, filled with trepidation, lay prostrate on the ground to demonstrate his submission and deference.

As those molten gold vertical pupils slowly swept over him, their tangible gaze causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

Thor gazed at the white dragon crouching below the hall, the scales covering his brow furrowing in displeasure.

This white dragon was so weak that he felt sorry for it.

It's hard to imagine that a fully grown dragon is only a little over ten meters long, and that length includes its long neck and tail.

If these two parts are removed, its body is only as robust as a large polar bear, hardly deserving of the name "dragon".

Could he really breach the cave city and annihilate the Shahua fishmen on his own?

At this moment, Thor couldn't help but have doubts about his previous arrangements.

Why not send one of your legendary bronze dragons? This kind of dragon lives on the coast year-round, loves to eat giant sharks, controls lightning breath, and its underwater combat ability far surpasses that on land.

However, he had previously been exposed to the avatar of Sercoula, and making a hasty move would easily arouse the enemy's suspicion.

Moreover, as a legendary metal dragon, his most valuable assets are the vast amount of magical knowledge stored in his mind and his management and development of his territory.

It would be a terrible loss to die by the mouth of Sercoula's avatar.

Countless thoughts raced through Thor's mind like leaping sparks.

He suddenly remembered the small plane he occupied, and the various monsters from the Monster Hunter world that he planned to replicate in it.

The wheel only draws biological templates, not living beings.

Therefore, before Thor could materialize them using the curse of the mad dragon, he had to find a suitable vessel and guide it step by step to complete its evolution and transformation.

Fortunately, as his own strength improved and he gained a deeper understanding of the Chaotic Anomaly Realm, Thor became more and more adept at using the Mad Dragon Curse to corrupt living beings.

Why not use this white dragon as a test subject to find out the limits of my current ability to control curses?

Having made up his mind, a glint of purplish-black light flashed in Thor's eyes.

Tiny, dark light rose from his body, condensing into a snowflake-shaped point of light at his fingertips. Thor simultaneously poured all his consciousness into it, beginning to reduce and supplement the power within the curse.
