Chapter 11

I grabbed the soldier suspended in mid-air at the entrance of the tunnel, no longer distinguishing whether it was an Osri soldier or a Duanan soldier. Anyone I could touch, I threw out, just to prevent more people from being sucked in.
"Clang..." This was the sound I made as I rushed in. The energy of the five main cannons clashed chaotically. Only by having the same level of body protection magic and energy could I avoid being directly taken away.
Inside the transmission tunnel, I saw a twisted and unpredictable space. If I moved randomly, I could fall into an unknown space, perhaps just another location, or maybe back to the original point in time, or even into another world.
Behind me, more objects and people were being sucked into the tunnel, falling into various spaces, or directly shattered by the energy impact. If there were sound here, it would surely be a place filled with countless cries of agony.
The Dragon Bone Greatsword released more power from my soul, guiding me to find a safe space. Only by finding a safe place to store the clashing energy, could the entrance of the tunnel be closed as usual. That's why I needed to enter the transmission tunnel, otherwise, I would not be able to explore the inside.
The sword slightly rotated. I couldn't tell whether up was up or down here, and I couldn't point out the specific direction. I just followed the guidance and thrust directly into this transmission channel. Instantly, it was like a river embankment collapsing as the tidal wave of energy forcefully surged in.
Exiting the channel, I felt dizzy for a moment, and before my eyes was a world full of stars. For a while, I couldn't distinguish up from down or left from right. In Resgolo's fragmented memories, this should be a small world in its early stages. The reason why it was "small" was not due to its spatial size, but because the timeline of this world was just a small circle. Until the power of this world reached a certain height and formed a breakthrough point, time would continue to loop. In other words, I would appear here again in the not too distant future, after many, many cycles. It was unlikely for this loop to be broken, and maybe more outsiders would bring energy to it. This was the "time loop," the precursor to the "timeline."
The energy in the transmission tunnel was mostly depleted in less than ten minutes, and the entrance began to close.
"Roar..." Just as I turned around to return to the space transmission tunnel, my soul heard a resonance from the Dragon Clan, and it wasn't just one resonance.
A five-clawed golden dragon appeared before me, with extremely long dragon whiskers, which was very cool in the dragon's aesthetics. He seemed to be chasing after something, while the other dragon's presence was only felt through resonance, without seeing its true form.
The golden dragon looked at me without saying a word. According to the time spiral of the Three Realms, he and I should not be at the same point, but happened to arrive here at the same time. What kind of causality would lead to us meeting here?
The golden dragon's eyes flickered and focused on my Dragon Bone Greatsword, as if he saw through my body and looked at my soul, just like we were staring at each other nakedly.
"Are you me?" I asked unknowingly.
The golden dragon didn't answer, but his mixed expression was curious and strange. This scene...really seemed like something I had seen before. Memories of Resgolo dug up something once again, making me wonder if it was my past self seeing my present self.
At this moment, the invisible dragon suddenly attacked.
The golden dragon skillfully blocked the other dragon.
Echoes shook this small world full of stars. They were both existences at the maximum limit of this world's power, and the limit of world power was the limit of things within the world. Because of this, they weren't fighting at full power. If they casually clashed here, there was a possibility of the small world collapsing.
"Roar~~~" The invisible dragon emitted layers upon layers of sound, instantly causing my head to feel congested and my senses to temporarily malfunction, rendering me silent.
"Boom~~~" The golden dragon produced a contradicting sound, freeing my senses.
This is no longer magic; it is the ability of the dragon race, a special technique that utilizes the unique vocal structure of dragons. It is the main method of intimidation against species weaker than dragons.
"Help me!" The golden dragon finally spoke, uttering a simple sentence in dragon language.
In this situation between the golden dragon and the invisible dragon, it is impossible for them to determine life or death. They are like a stable triangle, and I am a pair of scissors. Even if one edge is lost, it will change the current situation.
The golden dragon emitted particles of light all over its body, its claws grabbing the invisible dragon. I don't know if the dragon in its eyes is invisible or not. In my impression, this scene has indeed appeared, but it is only a vague memory. The opponent is definitely not in the state of invisibility that I am currently seeing. What deceived my eyes?
If today was just a simple encounter, I could confirm my past from the golden dragon's mouth. Even if the final answer is that I am not him, he should still know something about me.
In fact, there is an option that I don't want to consider, which is that perhaps I am the invisible dragon.
"Roar!" The golden dragon seemed to entangle with the other dragon, locking it up, and its gaze signaled me to attack.
As a dragon who has fought countless battles, when an alliance is formed, you must trust your allies.
I raised the dragon bone greatsword and manipulated the completely primitive elements here with all my heart. There are only light and dark elements here, and they are wild and difficult to tame. Ordinary people cannot control them.
But I can still do it, although it is quite difficult. A large amount of elements gather on the blade. I lifted it with my left hand and mixed my magic into it, compressing it into a projectile. After a powerful compression, it has extremely strong lethality. Actually, I don't know if such an attack will work, after all, there is still quite a big gap between me and them now. Whether I can hurt the invisible dragon or not, I can only pray.
"Luminous Shadow Cannon."
Like shadow-like projectiles, they rolled up a starry sky, with lightning intertwined. These few traces of lightning elements come from the energy of the Five Master Cannons. This small world seems to be absorbing this energy to drive the evolution of its timeline.
"Roar!!" The projectiles hit, and the invisible dragon roared furiously. It was angry.
Its angry emotions triggered a world-shaking change. Multicolored clouds appeared in the starry sky-like substances, and there is no time to ponder what they are. They emerged one after another in rapid succession. I immediately avoided, dare not approach. The figure of the golden dragon surged in the gas. Its claws tore through something, and the gas danced between its claws.
And at that moment, a spatial crack appeared below us, an unnatural appearance that was the Small World's "invitation to leave."
Both dragons had had enough of the limitations of this world and couldn't wait to leave. And I wanted to catch up. Various questions lingered in my mind like question marks, and until I had answers, I didn't want to get lost in time with them.
"Ugh!" When I entered the crack, there was a forceful impact like an energy storm. Could it be the residual force left by their battle after they left? Then, it was still the multicolored gas. I felt like I had fallen into a turbulent river and was carried away by the currents.
I don't know when I was knocked unconscious by the energy and gas assaulting me. I only remember barely gripping the sword and finding my way back to The Human Realm in a half-dream, half-awake state...
