Chapter 946: The World's True Master?



The snowy white mountain was quickly dyed red in the blood of the Late-stage Demigod-

rank Gold-horned Mutant Serpent. With each gallon of blood lost, its strength weakened, and its life slowly slipped away.

The other three Gold-horned Mutant Serpents were only Mid-stage Demigods. That was why they decided to gang up on it.

Only by taking out the bigger threat would they have a better chance at obtaining the awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline in Astoria.

Astoria had only been able to obtain a minor boost in strength after awakening her bloodline. Her Golden Dragon Bloodline was just too diluted over the generations for it to give her bigger benefits.

On the other hand, the mutant serpent clan seemed to have obtained Golden Dragon Pangea's pure blood essence.

As such, they were no different from first-generation descendants of the Golden Dragon.

If they could use her awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline to stimulate and awaken their own purer Golden Dragon Bloodline, they were more likely to step into the divine rank directly.

That was why they could be so frantic and crazy over it.

When the Late-stage Demigod-rank Gold-horned Mutant Serpent got seriously weakened to the point that it could no longer threaten Kemun, one of the other three Gold-horned Mutant Serpent began forming ideas.

Puchi!

One of the three Gold-horned Mutant Serpents suddenly turned on its group. A hole was punctured straight through the main body of another with its penetrating tail strike.

Its treacherous sneak attack also marked the end of the trio's temporary alliance. "Damn you, Kershe!"

The punctured Gold-horned Mutant Serpent furiously roared as it retaliated with a tail strike of its own.

However, the treacherous Gold-horned Mutant Serpent was prepared for its counterattack. It immediately evaded the all-out tail sweep by springing into the sky.

Unfortunately, it did not account for the third Gold-horned Mutant Serpent.

The third and unharmed Gold-horned Mutant Serpent had acted swiftly, biting into its rear

end. It forcefully dragged the treacherous Kershe back into the ground with all its strength. "Damn you too, Taha!" the treacherous Kershe cursed.

Boom!

Following the treacherous Kershe slamming into the ground, the punctured Gold-horned Mutant Serpent sent out another all-out tail sweep.

However, this time, the treacherous Kershe could not evade, not with its tail end pinned down by the unwounded Taha. The furious retaliation of the punctured Gold-horned Mutant

Serpent shattered countless dragon scales on its body.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Thank you, Taha-"

The punctured Gold-horned Mutant Serpent wanted to thank Taha for having its back. However, its expression quickly changed when it saw Taha aiming for it next.

"Dammit!" the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent cursed.

In the face of the temptation known as the awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline, there was no eternal alliance among them, only eternal interest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In mere minutes, the snowy mountains were greatly devastated by the battle between the four Gold-horned Mutant Serpents. The extensive damage to them far exceeded what the ten Void realm experts had done to a single mountain peak in a few hours.

Nevertheless, the situation became even more chaotic when another five Demigod-rank mutant serpents arrived.

They tried to bypass the four fighting mutant serpents to get to Astoria. However, they ended up getting dragged into a nine-way conflict instead. Any mutant serpent that went for Astoria would be obstructed by one of its own.

In their eyes, Astoria was just food that they could eat anytime; she was no threat to them, and she couldn't escape them either.

On the other hand, it was their own clansmen that posed the biggest problem in reaching their grand prize.

Meanwhile, Kemun and Astoria had retreated further away from the battlefield. However, they also did not get too far away. If they exceeded a certain distance, the mutant serpents would give up their inner conflict to give chase.

bloodline."

"Not only have your UN provoked that hidden super civilization, but you, yourself, have tempted it with your awakened bloodline. I'm willing to bet its people will come for you once

they learn of it, Holy Empress."

"By then, the Black Serpent Clan would no longer have a chance to fight for it, even if it

wanted to," Emperor Carpus stated confidently.

"You seem to have a great understanding of this hidden super civilization... Perhaps you have already seen it or even contacted and made deals with it," Astoria speculated with narrowed

eyes.

However, her assumption only triggered Emperor Carpus's self-deprecating scorn.

"Oh, how very wrong you are, Holy Empress. Believe me when I say I do wish to contact and make deals with such a powerful civilization. However, why would it be interested in ants?" Emperor Carpus sneered pessimistically.

The Divine Serpent Empire had been a reclusive country for thousands of years.

As a fellow secluded power, how could his country not even be aware that there was such a powerful hidden neighbor?

The Divine Serpent Empire couldn't possibly be so ignorant, especially after it had been serving the Black Serpent Clan for so many years.

While Emperor Carpus and Astoria were discussing and the Black Serpent Clan was fighting

among itself, a blue-skinned humanoid man quietly arrived in the airspace above the snowy

mountains.

The blue-skinned humanoid man paid attention to the Black Serpent Clan's inner conflict

before tracing the lingering aura of Astoria's awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline onto her

body.

In that instant, his face became colorful, feeling pleasantly surprised by his discovery on this investigation trip.

Without warning, he immediately made a hand-grabbing gesture at Astoria like he was

looting a rare plant on the roadside. He didn't bother reasoning with words; he simply acted.

Divine power quickly formed a giant hand that reached down from the sky.

"Lady Astoria, be careful!" Kemun cried with alarm.

When Astoria looked up at the large, transparent hand descending from the sky, she was

startled at first but recovered a peaceful expression shortly after.

In front of such unstoppable divine power, people at her level could do nothing but resign to

her fate.

However, she didn't feel particularly concerned. Her lack of concern stemmed from her faith

in Vaan.

True to her belief, before the divine hand could reach her, space suddenly distorted. The

divine hand failed to maintain its form and had its divine power dispersed after getting crushed by spatial power.

At the same time, a painful cry resounded from the sky as a severed blue-skinned hand fell to

the ground.

"Arghhh-!!!"
