“What is that?”
When they saw the terrifying dragons that Watson had casually created, all the Dragon Kings were stunned.
“It’s an illusion. It must be an illusion! I can’t believe that the human brat is a powerful mage. The illusion he cast can even fool a Dragon King like me.”
The Light Dragon King was the first to speak. Rubbing his nose, he came face to face with the huge dragon that Watson had created. It was a sacred fire razorback dragon that was covered in flames and golden armor. Its mouth spat out scorching flames that could burn everything. The spikes on its hard back were like small mountains.
As the Light Dragon King approached, the Sacred Fire razorback dragon coldly watched the Light Dragon King’s actions. The Light Dragon King said, “It’s an illusion.”
When it reached out to touch him, the sacred fire razorback dragon let out a disdainful snort. It opened its fangs that were covered in flames and sucked the Light Dragon King’s arm in.
In an instant, the Light Dragon King and the sacred fire razorback dragon fell into a state of weakness. The other Dragon Kings around them did not move at all.
A few seconds later…
“It hurts so much!” The Light Dragon King pulled his hand out of the sacred fire razorback dragon’s mouth and shook his burning palm. He shouted and stomped on the spot. There were clear teeth marks on his palm.
“What a good illusion. It’s quite realistic. You can even simulate the pain?” The Light Dragon King shouted as he blew on his right hand, trying to extinguish the flames.
“Light Dragon King, don’t embarrass yourself.” The Forest Dragon King could not stand it anymore and covered her face, “That is not an illusion at all. In front of you is a living dragon. You felt it too, right?”
“Nonsense, that is an illusion!”
The Light Dragon King shouted angrily, with a stubborn look on his face. He might have felt it, but he did not dare accept it. How could a mere human create a mighty dragon out of thin air with just a book? The dragon was the most powerful race in the world. Not to mention humans, even gods, could not create a dragon out of thin air. What the young man in front of him had just demonstrated was an illusion. It had to be an illusion. Otherwise, the Light Dragon King’s long-held pride as a dragon would be shattered.
If someone could create a dragon so casually, then what was so noble about them?
‘It’s that book. It might be the effect of that book! The book in the youth’s hand seemed to be a high-tier item. It should be a diamond-tier or higher magical tool. That youth must have used that book to make us see an illusion.’
The Light Dragon King pondered, and his gaze fell on the Book of Wisdom in Watson’s hand.
“The Light Dragon King is right. Don’t be deceived. Watson can do what you just saw, even without that book. It’s just a little more troublesome. That was a real dragon. Watson has the ability to create a dragon,” Fafnir interjected from the side. Her words moved all the Dragon Kings.
The Light Dragon King asked, “If what you said is true, then the diamond-tier dragons that appeared on the Divine Dragon Star were created by Watson?”
“He can fuse the dragons and create them out of thin air and even make them stronger. That ability is too terrifying. Is that young man the incarnation of the Dragon God?”
The Dragon Kings had the same thought as the Light Dragon King. They were unwilling to believe that Watson could create dragons. However, they were rational. They had no choice but to believe everything that Watson had shown. Furthermore, they could see more on the Divine Dragon Star. If Watson created the entire Divine Dragon Star and its dragons, it would prove that Watson’s ability had no limitations. It could be used in many situations. That could instantly increase the Dragon Clan’s combat strength by countless times. They might even become the largest race in the world.
As part of a powerful Dragon Clan and a Dragon King, they were dragons that had lived for at least hundreds of years. However, even after hundreds of years of experience, they still could not understand what Watson had done at that moment. They felt like it was a miracle.
“Fafnir, the reason so many dragons appear in your lair is because of that method? You were able to advance to the same tier as the Dragon God? All of that was because of that method?”
“That’s right, Forest Dragon King. Now you understand why I asked you here urgently.”
“This really is an extremely urgent matter.”
The few Dragon Kings looked at each other and saw the complicated look in each other’s eyes. When they first arrived and discovered that Fafnir’s lair was missing, they were filled with doubts. Then, they saw Fafnir appear with Watson. The young man had also announced that he would become the dragons’ ruler. Their doubts turned into anger, but at that moment, they were at a loss.
If Watson really had such a magical ability that could raise the Dragon Clan’s strength, it was not unlikely that Watson would become the dragons’ ruler. They could consider letting Watson become one of the Dragon Kings. If they chose Watson to become one of the Dragon Kings, would they be able to borrow Watson’s power to become stronger and become a Dragon God?
At that moment, their strength did not even surpass the dragons on that star. They needed to become stronger than Fafnir.
While the Dragon Kings were thinking about that, the dragons on the Divine Dragon Star had already discovered the arrival of the Dragon Kings. Most of those dragons were sent by different Dragon Kings in response to Fafnir’s call. At that moment, those dragons flew in front of their respective Dragon Kings and began to praise Watson.
“Light Dragon King, my lord, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! You might not know what I’ve been through these past two days. Young Master Watson developed the Super Reproductive Potion that let a pregnant female dragon deliver a thousand younglings. Later, he even transformed our lair into a star in the sky.
“Not only that, but Young Master Watson has also developed other magical potions, such as a potion that can greatly increase one’s strength! Oh, right! I also heard that Young Master Watson had developed a potion that can raise one’s strength to the starlight-tier in a short period. We have also reached the strength of a Dragon King.”
“My lord, if you don’t agree to Young Master Watson’s request, we won’t go back to the lair. Anyway, you have thousands of wives in the lair. Every day, you and those wives will make a lot of noise. If any dragon has any reaction to that, you will punish them. We can’t stand it anymore! Now, on the Divine Dragon Star, we will not see the annoying Light Dragon King, and no one will harass us here. The environment is perfect, and the dragons are friendly. Each of them has a talent, and their words are pleasant. We loved this place.”
The dragons’ words were like sharp swords piercing the Light Dragon King’s chest. He was furious. “How dare you call me a nuisance? You bunch of low-tier dragons, aren’t you afraid that I will kill all of you in a fit of anger?”
“Of course, we are not afraid. You will not be able to defeat any of the dragons here,” one of the dragons said as Light Dragon King twitched his lips. His expression was somewhat disdainful. “The dragons in our lair are the weakest of all Dragon Clans because we only have a few hundred dragons. That was all because of you, Light Dragon King! There’s no future with you. It’s better if we follow Young Master Watson.”
There were more than a thousand females of different races in the Light Dragon Clan’s lair. They were all the Light Dragon King’s wives, while there were only a few hundred dragons. They were not even as many as the Light Dragon King’s wives. He did not want other dragons to look at his wives, so all the dragons had to make way for them whenever they passed by. The dragons were not allowed to look when any of his wives were bathing too. Even if they accidentally saw a piece of clothing, their eyes would be gouged.
Under those rules, the Light Dragon Clan lived cautiously. Those dragons had long held a grudge against the Light Dragon King.
“A bunch of inferior dragons, you can’t treat me like that! I get it. You’re blaming me for having too many wives, and you lack wives because of your own charm. You’re jealous of me, aren’t you? Don’t worry. When I return, I’ll make arrangements and give you some of my wives. You’ll be satisfied, right?”
His former subordinates were speaking to him in a very disrespectful tone, so he replied in a flustered manner. His words did not make the Light Dragon Clan’s dragons like him; on the contrary, they showed disgust on their faces.
“Light Dragon King, who needs your wife? Besides, giving your wife away to someone else is a bad thing. If you say something like that again, we’ll kill you.”
“Kill me? Do you really think you’re my opponent? Try it!”
Words were fruitless, and anger surged in his heart. He was about to lose his temper, but before he could finish his words, something broke his nose.
“Light Dragon King, we’ve never heard of such a strange request.” A few dragons looked at the Light Dragon King’s bloodied nose with pity, but they did not stop. Instead, they circled, punched, and kicked him.
“Light Dragon King, we have tolerated you for a long time. As a Dragon King, you only know how to satisfy your desires and have no interest in developing your race. What qualifications do you have to be a Dragon King?”
“It’s fine if you have no interest in developing the dragons, but you are also very strict with your compatriots. Even if Young Master Watson did not appear, I had planned to use this opportunity to be a dragon for the Dragon Knights. Even if I have to follow a strange human, it’s better than staying in a lair that has no future.”
The Light Dragon King could only beg for mercy. “Stop hitting me. This is my fault. I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”
What happened to the Light Dragon King did not occur to the other Dragon Kings. After all, the other Dragon Kings were not as annoying as he appeared to be, and that had caused his former clansmen to recount what had happened to them in the cave for the past two days.
If the other Dragon Kings had been suspicious of Fafnir and Watson, they had started to believe them. At the same time, they also realized a problem. They were gradually losing their prestige among the dragons.
Even though their former subordinates still regarded them as Dragon Kings, their expressions and tone were no longer respectful. The Dragon Clan had always respected the strong. While those dragons were polite to them, how long could that situation last? Would they still listen to them if those dragons gradually surpassed them with Watson’s help?
Putting aside the fact that they were in great danger, they were there to hold a meeting. However, apart from Fafnir, none of them were qualified to present their ideas at the meeting. It was even difficult for them to leave under the watchful eyes of many Dragon Kings if they made any inappropriate remarks. They thought they could show their dignity as Dragon Kings when they came to Fafnir’s lair, but it seemed like they were like a few weak lambs that had strayed into a pack of wolves.
“Watson, right? I’ve noticed that you’re not an ordinary person. When I first came here, I sensed an unusual aura from you, which made me conclude that you’re not an ordinary human! You’re very talented to be able to develop so many potions that can improve the dragon race. I don’t know what your potions are, but I’m willing to pay a high price to get them. As long as you’re willing to sell them to me, I will be your friend in the future. Even if you want to be the Dragon King, I won’t object. Also, you just created a dragon out of thin air. It would be even better if you could teach me all of them,” the Light Dragon King said.
While the Dragon Kings were deep in thought, the Light Dragon King, who had been beaten up, suddenly found an opportunity to escape from the encirclement of a few of his subordinates. In an instant, he came to Watson’s side and wiped his blood off his face. He wanted to pay Watson’s shoulder.
Half of what he said was to ingratiate himself with Watson and obtain the potion to increase his own strength. At the same time, he could punish his rude clansmen for their trespasses against him when he raised his strength level. At the same time, the other reason he asked for the potions was to save face. He was the dignified Dragon King, but he actually had the cheek to ask for benefits from a human. If that were spread, it would damage his dignity. Therefore, he could not treat Watson as an ordinary human.
Watson could create dragons out of thin air. According to the dragons, he had many potions that could work on dragons. There should be no problem saying that he was not a human, right?
That was not something a human could do.
“Light Dragon King, I did not expect you to be so powerful. How do you know that I’m not an ordinary human?”
Watson nodded at the Light Dragon King. His body expanded with a swoosh, and gray scales emerged from his body. Accompanied by a fierce dragon roar, he turned into a chaos dragon with a chaotic aura around his body.
That sudden scene made the Light Dragon King maintain the posture of patting Watson on the shoulder while standing there in a daze.
He had just said that Watson was not an ordinary human, but he was just being polite. Anyone could see the human aura around Watson’s body. How could he have thought that Watson was not a human?
“I felt the human aura on that youth just now, but how did he turn into a dragon? And what kind of dragon is that? I’ve never seen it before.” The Forest Dragon King sized up the chaos dragon that Watson had turned into, and after confirming that it was not an illusion or magic, she looked puzzled.
“That brings us to the second of the ten potions I’ve completed—Dragon Transformation Potion! As long as you take that potion, any creature can transform into a dragon, and its level will not be weaker than a diamond-tier elite,” Watson, who had transformed into a chaos dragon, said in a muffled voice.
After his voice fell, the other dragons fell into silence, including all the Dragon Kings. From the beginning, what they had seen and heard had exceeded their imaginations. A series of shocks rendered them unable to recover from their shock.
“Fafnir, where did you find that monster? Are you sure that that guy is human and not something that looks like a human but is completely different?” After a long while, the Rock Dragon King finally spoke with a puzzled expression.
Fafnir nodded. “When I first saw Watson’s abilities, I had the same thought as you guys. I can understand that! But unfortunately, Watson is indeed a human. Furthermore, he is the strongest genius in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, conferred by the human king. Now, are you still unable to accept my proposal to make Watson the ruler of the Dragon Clan and one of the Dragon Kings?”
“Wait a moment, Fafnir. Let us take a breather first.” The Forest Dragon King rubbed the space between her eyebrows, turned her head away, and adjusted her breathing.
The other Dragon Kings were also doing the same thing, either adjusting their breathing or closing their eyes. They did not speak for a long time. After a long while, the first person to speak was the Forest Dragon King. “I agree to let Watson become one of the Dragon Kings, and I won’t oppose him even if he becomes the ruler of the Dragon Clan, as long as he can raise me to the same tier as Fafnir.”
“Forest Dragon King, you changed sides so quickly. You would give up your dignity as a Dragon King for a small benefit. You’re really a disgrace.” The Dark Dragon King, whose entire body was covered in a bamboo hat, waved the giant scythe in his hand gently, leaving a pitch-black mark in the air.
“Dark Dragon King, so you have a different opinion from me?” The Forest Dragon King glanced at the Dark Dragon King, his expression unhappy. “The reason I agreed to Watson’s request was to become stronger and for the continuation of our race. Watson has a way to make the dragons stronger. If I join him, all the dragons under my command can become Dragon Kings. What’s wrong with that?”
First, she had to agree to Watson’s request. As long as Watson helped her turn all the dragons in the Forest Dragon Lair into Dragon Kings, it would not be difficult for her to defy Watson’s rule in the future. She only temporarily agreed to Watson’s request to seek benefits. Presumably, the Dark Dragon King, who was not very smart, could not understand it.
“Forest Dragon King, I do have somewhat different thoughts from you. To me, if I want to rule the Dragon Clan, I must have enough power. I don’t care about anything else. I will defeat him.”
The Dark Dragon King turned around. Under his pitch-black cloak, two sharp eyes locked onto Watson. Then, the pitch-black cloak on his body rapidly expanded and turned into a boundless night. His true form, the Abyssal Demonic Dragon, was revealed. Two long, demon-like horns were burning on both sides of the dragon’s head. In the middle of the horns was a massive door made of flames, like a door to hell. Similar doors of fire were also densely packed around his body. Massive, terrifying white skeletal arms grabbed onto the door of flames, stretching out a crack from within the door.
Roar!
The Abyssal Demonic Dragon that the Dark Dragon King had transformed into opened its wings. Its wings were complete but were tattered. There were holes in them, and they could support its flight. His exposed chest and abdomen were not flesh and blood. Instead, they were covered with a thick layer of white bones.
With a roar, the gates of Hell that were burning with flames opened one after another. Massive skeletal arms appeared in the air like chains, flying toward Watson.
“Starlight-tier dragon language spell, Skeleton Kingdom!”
“Starlight-tier dragon language spell, Dark Divine Kingdom!”
Two divine kingdoms appeared in the air, one after another. Behind the white bones that filled the sky, there was a deep darkness that could devour everything. That deep darkness was like the deepest abyss in the world itself, falling with unstoppable power. It was going to swallow Watson.
Faced with the powerful blow of the double divine kingdom, Watson’s chaos dragon smiled. The crown made of seven dragon horns that flickered with the color of chaos on its head shine even brighter. Immediately after that, the vertical crack between his brows opened, and an eyeball without pupils appeared. The eyeball was connected to the source of chaos.
“Eye of Chaos!”
At that moment, Watson had extracted most of the power from the source of chaos elemental magic. The sky that had turned pitch-black because of the dark divine kingdom cast by the Dark Dragon King suddenly appeared with a huge grayish-white eye. There was no pupil or emotion in the eye. It watched everything coldly and mercilessly, like the eye of a god.
The moment the eye appeared, the Dark Dragon King lost control of the Dark Divine Kingdom. The endless darkness was torn apart spontaneously under the gaze of the eye. It was as if the rats that had seen their natural enemy had dispersed. Countless huge skeletal palms shattered before they could even touch Watson’s body. Then, they were wiped away by the eye of chaos as if they had never appeared before.
It had only been a few seconds since the dual divine kingdoms had been released and collapsed. That scene shocked the Dragon Kings, and after Watson’s chaos dragon had shattered the Dark Dragon King’s attack, controlling the Eye of Chaos in the sky, it shifted its direction, allowing it to look at the Dark Dragon King.
The Dark Dragon King immediately let out a blood-curdling scream. His scales peeled off layer by layer as his blood oozed. An invisible force also scraped it off. In just a short period, the Dark Dragon King’s flesh had been reduced by several layers. He had become a creature with the outline of a bloody dragon. It was a shocking sight.
“Enough, I admit defeat. I admit that you have the ability to rule over the dragons.”
As the Dark Dragon King’s body was about to be severely injured by the eye of Chaos, the Dark Dragon King suddenly shrunk his body back to his human form with a cloak and began to beg for mercy. At that moment, the black cloak he was wearing was no longer as gorgeous as before. Instead, it was full of holes.”
“Does anyone still think that I don’t have the ability to rule over the dragons?”
Watson deactivated his transformation and looked around. The chaos dragon had the strength of a Dragon King, not to mention that he had just borrowed the power of the chaos-elemental magical source, which was comparable to the starlight tier. The power of the chaos elements surpassed the other six elements; even the Dark Dragon King could not withstand it.
The other Dragon Kings looked at each other, and most of them quickly shook their heads.
“There is no doubt. You are not just a human. You’ve become a dragon through the use of potion; then you are a dragon. In addition, you are strong enough to defeat the Dark Dragon King, so it is not impossible for you to become our ruler.”
The Dragon Kings might have objected if Watson had not used the Dragon Transformation Potion to turn into a dragon. However, Watson was also a dragon. So, no matter how heaven-defying Watson was, whatever magical thing he did was considered to be done by one of the dragons, so they were not dissatisfied.
“I also agree to let Watson become our ruler. He can allow ordinary dragons to become Dragon Kings, and it also solves the problem of the dragons’ low reproduction rate. With these two points, I have no reason to refuse.” The other Dragon King nodded.
If they disagreed, they would probably end up worse than the Dark Dragon King. The dragons had no choice but to lower their heads. Furthermore, they were also worried that even if Watson did not do anything to them, they would not be able to survive the future if they were expelled from the Divine Dragon Star. With Watson’s help, the Divine Dragon Star would develop better and better, and if they stayed where they were, it would be equivalent to them becoming weaker.
Many of the dragons knew about a place like the Divine Dragon Star, and many of them would definitely have thoughts of betrayal. Instead of watching as the gap between them widened, they might as well comply with Watson’s request to squeeze benefits from the dragon.
“Since everyone doesn’t object, then I announce that I am the only king of the dragons.”
“Wait!”
Watson was just about to announce his ruling position and sign a contract with the Dragon Kings when a melancholic voice interrupted him.
Nidhogg, who had been silent ever since he displayed his powerful powers, flew to the front of the dragons. His face, covered in thick eye shadow and looked like a clown’s makeup, was full of melancholy. He continued in a neutral tone. “You said that you want to become the only Dragon King. Are you saying that you want to deprive us of the Dragon King title? The title is the same as time and strength. It is one of my few possessions. I have been the Dragon King for a long time. If you want to deprive me of my title, you are undoubtedly violating my rights and interests. The consequences of violating my rights and interests must be paid.”
“Is that so? What price do you want me to pay?” Watson’s eyes flickered as he asked in return.
“Titles are a symbol of honor. Since you want to deprive me of my honor, then I’ll break all the bones in your body and hang you naked for three days in front of all the dragons. That is the punishment I want to impose on you.”
The gloomy Nidhogg’s tone was neither slow nor hurried. He took a deep breath every time he spoke as if talking was a burden to him.
“Death Dragon King, are you sure you want to be my enemy? You saw the power I showed just now. I can create dragons out of thin air, and I also have powerful potions, some of which can help me advance to the starlight tier in a short time. Do you think you can contend with a god?”
“A god? I don’t care about that. You have to understand that I’m different from the other Dragon Kings. I’m called the Death Dragon King—Nidhogg.”
Nidhogg spoke indifferently. His body suddenly expanded, and his human form, which looked like a clown, turned into his real body.
Boom!
A huge claw pressed against the ground. It was hard to imagine how huge the dragon was. Its body was about the size of the Divine Dragon Star. After it appeared, the entire Divine Dragon Star dropped hundreds of meters. Cracks even appeared on the ground. A suffocating sense of despair appeared in the eyes of every dragon who raised their heads to look at Nidhogg’s body.
There were many ancient sharp weapons on the dragon’s body. A gush of bright red blood slid down where the weapons were inserted, soaking its body and dyeing its scales dark red. The fresh blood was not Nidhogg’s blood but came from the weapons on his body. They were holy relics of different styles from different eras, and even more ancient weapons seemed to be starlight-tier.
Those weapons were all wrapped in bright red blood that would not clot. Even just the blood itself gave people a feeling of fear in their hearts.
There were rumors that Nidhogg was the earliest Dragon King. He had lived for more than ten thousand years and even experienced the great war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago. That matter had always been like a fairy tale in the hearts of the dragons. No one knew if that rumor was actually true.
Nidhogg was born ten thousand years ago. At that time, the world was not as small as it was at that moment. The dragon was just a dragon at the time, and it was not particularly powerful. Other than the gods, no other race could stand shoulder to shoulder with the dragon. Everything changed when the Death Dragon King was born.
The Death Dragon King had aspired to become stronger since he was young. In his heart, he held a belief. As a powerful dragon, why could dragons not rule the world like the gods? What was the difference between the dragon and the gods? In order to solve the doubts in his heart, he sought out the wise giants of that era, known as the wise men race. Under their enlightenment, he came to where the World Tree grew and began to eat its roots.
The World Tree was an important item for the gods because the World Tree contained a large amount of life force. It could emit magic elements that filled the world. At the same time, the sap of the World Tree could be used to maintain eternal life. If the World Tree were lost, then the gods would no longer be immortal.
Its actions quickly attracted the attention of the gods. A few gods tried to kill him. Unfortunately, after consuming a large amount of the sap of the World Tree, his strength was no longer weaker than ordinary gods. In the end, he succeeded in killing a few gods. As a low-tier race, he was able to kill gods. That caused the name of the dragon of despair, Nidhogg, to be spread among the gods. Unfortunately, not long after that, an internal battle broke out between the gods, and no one paid attention to him anymore.
It was a world-class battle. Regardless of whether it was the gods or other races, they fought for their own survival. After he had eaten the roots of the World Tree, Nidhogg joined the battle to maintain the stability of the dragon race. That battle lasted for thousands of years.
Every wound on his body was proof that he had once fought with all his might. Several gods had once besieged him during the era of the gods. He had used his sharp claws and fangs to tear the bodies of his opponents after being stabbed by the gods’ weapons. In the later eras, he would also be besieged by many armies. With just a wave of his hand, he had destroyed those kingdoms that had overestimated themselves and sowed the seeds of despair on the earth.
In the ancient past, he was known as the Dragon of the Gods’ Dusk. Then, his name became the Doomsday Judgment Dragon. No matter his name, he was a terrifying dragon that would bring despair to every enemy.
At that moment, that dragon once again displayed his invincible posture.
“I’ve always known that Nidhogg was powerful, but I did not expect him to be this powerful. That aura is even more terrifying than the so-called Dragon God power that Fafnir had displayed. Is his strength comparable to that of the Dragon God?” The Forest Dragon King stared blankly at Nidhogg’s endless body above his head. He gulped.
The Light Dragon King had a similar expression. “I don’t know. This is the first time I saw Nidhogg in his true form. Originally, he was in human form and only needed a finger to beat me up. Who would have thought that after he revealed his true form, he would be even more of a monster than I imagined?”
The other Dragon Kings, including the Dark Dragon King, who had just been taught a lesson, all had looks of amazement on their faces. Even Fafnir’s expression changed. Even if she displayed the full power of the Divine Sun Dragon, she might not be able to defeat Nidhogg. Although Nidhogg was only a Dragon King who had advanced to the starlight tier, he had killed gods in ancient times.
One was comparable to a god, and the other was a god-killer. There was no comparison between the two.
Before she could think about why Nidhogg, who clearly had such powerful power, still remained in that world, Fafnir took a step forward. “Not good. Watson will be in danger if this goes on.”
Watson was the dragons’ hope. If he were killed because of a conflict with Nidhogg, she would feel extremely uncomfortable. Nidhogg had powerful strength; Watson was clearly unable to stop him. The only one who could stop him was her.
Swoosh!
With that thought in mind, Fafnir’s body suddenly expanded and turned into a sun dragon that was also the size of a star. It was entirely formed by flames. The two starlight-tier divine dragons were confronting each other in midair. The violent power caused the Divine Dragons Star to shake continuously. The dragons held their breaths. The heavy pressure made them unable to breathe. They were even afraid of inhaling the aura of the two divine dragons in one breath; it would cause their bodies to shatter.
“Nidhogg, stop. I won’t allow you to kill Watson.”
“Fafnir, are you going to violate my rights now? Since that’s the case, you can accept your punishment with that human kid.” Nidhogg transformed into the Doomsday Judgement Dragon. The dragon’s head spread open, and its majesty radiated in all directions, with its enormous body as the center. Wherever it passed, the environment immediately turned black, and ancient scenes appeared in the black light and shadow. It was a powerful army of gods emitting starlight or wearing diamond-tier defensive weapons, surrounding Nidhogg in a killing spree.
Those phantoms were those that Nidhogg had killed in the past. Their souls had been imprisoned in his body ever since he killed them. At that moment, with his words, those souls had all been resurrected. Evil spirits emitting black smoke pulled out ancient weapons from his body. Bathed in divine blood, they transformed into undead war gods and roared as they charged at Fafnir.
Fafnir did not hesitate and immediately released a terrifying power comparable to the sun’s burning. A sun that was the size of the Divine Dragon Star appeared in the sky. It burned the undead that had risen from the dead and directly turned them into ashes.
Without waiting for Fafnir to heave a sigh of relief, Nidhogg suddenly made a move. The undead that had just been destroyed appeared out of thin air on its body again. They surrounded its dragon claws and sowed the seeds of despair in the world.
With countless dead souls, Nidhogg’s huge claws landed on the sun that Fafnir had transformed into. Nidhogg’s entire body immediately burned with blazing flames. The flames spread to his claws, wrapping around his whole body and slowly turning him into charred black charcoal.
Seeing that he was about to be wholly burned by Fafnir’s flames, he abruptly tore the sun that Fafnir had summoned. The aura of the star’s shattering caused a solar storm. The violent heat poured down on the Divine Dragon Star, causing many buildings and trees to burn. If it were not for the fact that the creatures on the Divine Dragon Star were at least diamond-tier, the torrential solar storm alone would have killed them.
Even so, after enduring such an intense solar storm, the scales on the dragons reddened and became scalding hot, causing them to roll on the ground in pain.
Meanwhile, Nidhogg, who had torn apart the sun at the center of the storm, revealed his appearance. He was burned into charcoal, and the souls of the dead emerged from his body, which was riddled with holes. They carried a large amount of life force and turned into sweet spring water. It repaired his body and instantly restored him to his original state.
Watson recognized that the water surging out of Nidhogg’s body was water from the Spring of Life. It was not very accurate to say that the blood in Nidhogg’s body was water from the spring itself; moreover, it was an extremely ancient spring of life. Judging from the size of Nidhogg, which was comparable to the size of a star, the amount of water in his body was endless.
In front of such an enormous Spring of Life, Nidhogg would instantly recover no matter what kind of damage he suffered. He could even resurrect the people he killed with his powerful life force.
He could never be killed. Every time he was killed, he would become stronger. There was no doubt that the power that Nidhogg displayed at that moment was despair itself.
“‘D*mn it, can’t I stop Nidhogg with my own energy?’ Fafnir floated in the air and reached out to wipe away the blood that seeped out of the corner of her mouth. Her huge eyes fell on Watson. Even though she had advanced to a Sun Dragon God, it was still not easy for her to contend with Nidhogg. If she could use those magical potions that Watson had created, the situation might be a little better.
She also did not expect that Nidhogg would be so powerful. No matter what, she had to protect Watson.
While she was thinking about that, Watson, who had been watching the battle between her and Nidhogg, suddenly walked out and said, “Lady Fafnir, thank you for protecting me, but this battle belongs to Nidhogg and me. Leave the rest to me!”
“Watson, are you crazy?” Fafnir was stunned for a moment, then let out a voice that shook the world.
Fafnir, who had become the Dragon God, was not a match for Nidhogg, and Watson wanted to fight with Nidhogg? Was he suicidal? Nidhogg could crush Watson with just one finger.
“I’m not crazy. On the contrary, I’m very clear-headed! Just as the Dark Dragon King said, it’s not enough to have magical means to become a ruler. One must also have extraordinary strength. If I can’t defeat Nidhogg, it seems that I will never be safe.”
