Chapter 1363 - Incarnation 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Burning heat, chilling cold, powerful poison, numbing itchiness, and lightning. Different types of Dragon Breath energy crashed into Garen’s body hard with a huge momentum.

Along with the Dragon Breath, the White Dragon King, Tiamat’s Incarnation, pounced mercilessly, pressing down on Garen and trying to use his immense power to suppress him.

The dragon scales all over Garen’s body began to melt, but he paid them no heed. He rushed straight through the Dragon Breath, taking it head-on, and all the powerful Five-colored Dragon Breath could do was force him to close his eyes, lest they were burned.

He also had a Divine Persona now, so his resistance to Divine Power attacks had risen again. Besides, his Vitality was also much stronger now than it had been before, and the stacking of these effects had finally triggered a fundamental change. The damage the Five-colored Dragon Breath did to him was almost negligible.

“Imprisonment Spell.” Tiamat’s voice gave a screech, and suddenly a pitch-black cage enveloped Garen, who was still rushing forward. It became a black square cage.

He opened his mouth wide and bit at the cage.

Bam!!

The cage instantly shattered, and a giant dragon’s tail from within whipped Tiamat’s face hard. It sounded like a bolt of dull thunder, the giant impact creating faint space ripples in the air.

“Dragon Race Control!” Tiamat was forced to stagger by that whip, and there was instantly a large flash of golden light from his body. The Level Nine Holy Spell was cast almost instantaneously and released directly.

At his level, all Holy Spells were practically as fast as a change of his will. The only thing was that there was a limit to how many casts he had daily.

Unfortunately, while the Level Nine Dragon Race Control was a Holy Spell unique to him as the Dragon God, it still had barely any effect on Garen, whose Vitality was terrifyingly high.

He had been immune to Level Nine Spells a long time ago. It went without saying that they would not work on him now.

The misty glow formed by that golden light landed on Garen’s body and then vanished without a trace, having no effect whatsoever.

“Pollution Meteor…” Before Tiamat could finish saying the name of the spell, Garen instantly appeared before him, crashing his claws into his chest with a bam.

Bong!

Tiamat took several steps back, and his spell was also interrupted. He shook his head but was not injured at all.

A thin golden membrane had blocked off Garen’s attack, rendering Tiamat completely unharmed.

“The Divine Power Shield?” Garen raised an eyebrow and activated all of his 260-point Speed.

Swoosh!

He instantly appeared behind Tiamat’s back and whipped down hard with his tail.

The attributes of Tiamat’s Incarnation were also clearly over two hundred. He turned around immediately with decent reflexes, and four other dragon heads appeared beside his, all biting at Garen harshly.

Psst!

Garen suddenly felt an intense pain in his tail, and he moved aside, instantly and hurriedly.

Only then did he realize that his opponent had taken a small bite out of his tail. His heart turned cold, but before he could react, Tiamat moved instantaneously beside him as well, biting down hard once more.

“Since the Holy Spells don’t work on you, I’ll just use my sharpest teeth to swallow you directly!” Tiamat said, screeching with laughter.

The two giant White Dragons had practically become two balls of shadows, moving and wrestling at high speeds on the plains. Occasionally they would fly into the air, or crash down hard into the ground. Anything that would touch them now and then would instantly explode into dust, just like an illusion.

Garen could move instantaneously because of his high speed and agility, and Tiamat could perform instantaneous movements too, but he was one step faster than Garen in terms of reflexes. This was the difference in their Agility attribute.

As an Incarnation of God, only then did Garen get a deep understanding of why only Incarnations could fight Incarnations most of the time. The strength of the True Soul and God Levels lay in their bodies that had been powered up to the limit over an infinitely long period of time. Just this one Incarnation had more than two hundred points in Speed and Strength. Add that to the solid Divine Power Shield that was extremely hard to pierce through, and this was practically a fearsome, indestructible war fortress.

But the difference between them and the True Souls was that the Gods’ own increases in attributes were based on the Divine Power enveloping their bodies, whereas the True Soul Demon Lords simply relied on their own bodies.

“As I expected, you really are a Void Creature!” Tiamat sped up, chasing after Garen and laughing coldly.

“Saber of Domination!!”

Suddenly, an expanding ball of darkness exploded before him and enveloped Garen in an instant.

The giant black saber within the ball slashed at Garen soundlessly, its blade carrying a faint layer of a purple glow.

It was as though the giant saber instantly became enormous before Garen’s eyes, smashing down on him like a mountain range. It was so powerful that even Garen, with more than 260 points in Strength, felt suffocated and unable to fight back.

“Divine Persona Evolution!” Garen was shocked. Tiamat’s Persona had domination in its definition, and this ability was clearly his using the Divine Persona to mobilize the most Divine Power he could.

When he was going through Ann’s books, he had read somewhere that the Divine Persona represented Authority, and this Authority was the embodiment of the rules. Going against the Authority was going against the rules, and this was not something normal power could resist. Only Authority could resist Authority.

“Corrode!!” he roared deeply, his entire body emanating with large clouds of purple-black fog. That wheel of black light appeared behind his head directly.

The purple-black fog came into contact with the black saber head-on, and instantly, the black fog fell apart and scattered. It was because the difference between their Authorities was too large.

Disregarding the Black Fog completely, the black saber slashed onto Garen’s body mercilessly.

Rawr!!!

Amidst the howl of pain, a deep cut appeared on Garen’s body. The black saber disintegrated, and the black fog enveloping him dissipated completely as well.

“What a powerful body you have, to think you went straight up against my authority and still managed to survive!!” Smiling evilly, Tiamat began to condense the black ball of Authority once more. “How about another go, then?”

“Poisonous Eye!”

Suddenly, two dark-green rays smashed into Tiamat’s dragon head.

The speed of these rays was so fast that even he could not dodge them, despite his two hundred points in Agility. They hit him straight between his brows.

The rays actually carried the faint Authority of the Decay Divine Persona. Although Garen’s Divine Power was very weak, and the destructive power he obtained from activating his Authority was not quite enough, it was still far stronger than the previous Poisonous Eye, that had only been Level Fifteen.

As a grandmaster-level powerhouse in terms of combat and killing, Garen just had to see the way Tiamat used his power once with his Willpower Neuroprocessor, and he already understood the best way to use Divine Power to the strongest effects.

Divine Power Authority, and the Divine Power Shield, these were the Gods’ strongest spear and shield!

Tiamat was the Evil Dragon God in charge of Domination and Evil Dragons, so if the one fighting here was simply a pure-breed Evil Dragon, his power would naturally be suppressed by four or five levels. Since Garen was actually a Void Creature, he managed to avoid this form of suppression.

So the only thing that had an effect on him was the Domination aspect.

Tiamat had been just slightly careless. He did not expect Garen to learn so quickly, so he was instantly hit by the Poisonous Eye with the Decay Authority. A large hole was formed in the Divine Power Shield around the middle of his brows as a result of the corrosion, and the golden Divine Power all over his body instantly reached over to fill the gap, quickly mending the hole.

If Garen could not instantly break through the Divine Power Shield and kill the one inside, an attack of this extent on a God would only produce one result.

As long as they still had Divine Power, Gods would not fall.

“The difference in the Divine Power we’ve accumulated is too large!” Garen was shocked, and he rapidly retreated backward.

He barely avoided the Authority that fell down like a blanket. Half of his upper body was still flowing with platinum-colored blood. That terrifying cut stretched from his neck all the way to his chest, and had nearly cut a third of his body off.

“Retreat!” The idea flashed past Garen’s heart. The power of Tiamat’s Incarnation was not something he could hope to fight against right now.

Without a shred of hesitation, he turned around and teleported again, appearing immediately in the sky several hundred meters away.

“Tryna run, huh!!” Tiamat smiled sinisterly, and gave chase with his entire dragon body. To his surprise, however, Garen’s speed was actually a notch faster than his.

He could not really sense it when they were fighting in close quarters, but as soon as there was a distance between them and Garen started running, the minute difference in this attribute of theirs instantly became clear.

The two Colossal White Dragons began a high-speed chase, flashing across the sky above the black plains more than ten times within an instant, traversing several kilometers in distance.

“Poisonous Eye!”

There were two hisses through the air. Garen turned around suddenly and shot out two rays of green light from his eyes, the rays landing on Tiamat’s body as he was caught unprepared.

His Divine Power Shield gave a jolt, and another large hole was instantly torn through it, but it quickly recovered again.

Tiamat was quite shocked at first, and he paused. Immediately after, he realized that he was uninjured, and he continued to go after Garen in a rage.

The two White Dragons ran away and gave chase respectively, all the way from day to night. Time passed by slowly, and this lasted a whole six days.

They crossed the black plains, flew across vast golden deserts, and entered the sky above the massively wide ocean.

Every time his Poisonous Eyes healed, Garen would turn around and hit Tiamat with them without fail. At first, Tiamat did not even intend to chase him any longer, but Garen’s actions provoked him into continuing with the chase relentlessly and furiously.

Throughout these six days, Garen continuously used the Poisonous Eye countless times. Tiamat was just an Incarnation, after all, and he was possessing the White Dragon King’s body. Although the White Dragon King’s body was powerful, it still could not take the long-term invasion of a Divine Power that was not his own, and he finally buckled under the pressure.

**************

Above the bright blue ocean and the roiling waves, two Colossal Dragons shining with a white glow flew past the ocean at high speeds.

Psst.

Suddenly, a large crack opened up in Tiamat’s chest, spewing out white dragon blood.

“What’s this? The Incarnation of the Dragon God can’t even apprehend me, a normal White Dragon?” On cue, Garen turned around and taunted him.

“You’re asking for it!!” Tiamat raged and continued to give chase once more.

Psst psst psst!!

In an instant, several arrows of blood exploded from his body and fell into the seawater beneath him. The water instantly turned platinum in color, as did the seawater around that spot.

In front of him, Garen turned around instantly, the countless green eyes on his six wings winking deviously.

“After being chased for so long, it’s my turn now…”

He flapped his wings abruptly and actually stopped dodging, rushing straight toward Tiamat.

“Saber of Domination!!” Tiamat condensed the power from all over his body and created another black ball that enveloped Garen.

The black ball scattered, and Garen continued to rush at him, his body all covered in blood.

“Saber of…!!” Tiamat attempted to gather his Authority again, but suddenly he spewed out a mouthful of platinum-colored dragon blood.

“You’re done for!!” Garen laughed heartily as he teleported to Tiamat, his dragon claws turning into two shadows that smashed into Tiamat’s body mercilessly.

At the same time, Tiamat’s body had stiffened as a result of the backlash from the way his Authority had been interrupted, and he could not move, so this hit landed squarely on his body.

Boom!!!

A cloud of white smoke burst in the sky over the ocean, and the golden Divine Power Shield appeared once more, blocking Garen’s dragon claw.

But the immense power also caused the Shield to ripple distortedly.
