Time is running out, Marutian who assimilated the Dragon Core has reached the final stage, with a significant decrease in Magic elements, making me feel like I've returned to the Spiral Tri-Realm when I first arrived. Marutian's attack has caused the "Prison of Ten Thousand Dragons" to start to crack, and the repair progress by everyone is not fast. What's even more unacceptable is that the Devourer hasn't died yet, only severely injured. As he continues to absorb the elements of the three realms, he will slowly heal. His recovery ability is truly terrifying. How should I solve this? The Tri-Realm is already shaking.
"Qin Yang, the dragon core he assimilated still has one final step, perhaps we can only gather Dragon Qi together."
"Elena! If we gather Dragon Qi, you will lose your fighting power. What if we fail?"
Elena's proposal to gather Dragon Qi is almost a gamble. Extracting the Dragon Qi means losing all strength handed over to me, including mine, becoming the most difficult attack to resist. However, Marutian's Dragon Qi is much greater than all of our dragon clans combined. There is no time to think further.
"Dragon clan warriors, fight for the continuation of life, entrust your Dragon Qi to me!"
I raised the giant Dragon Bone Sword high, and the breath of death was released as Lofi and Elena took the lead in lending their Dragon Qi, followed by the participation of the people and dragons in the "Prison of Ten Thousand Dragons". Even if we don’t want to, under the continuous absorption of the Devourer, changes occur. A crimson sky that should belong to The Demon Realm appeared in The Human Realm, and a stone that should belong to The Divine Realm got stuck in a solid steel pillar in the transit city. In the chaos of the three realms, beings will be torn apart in the next moment. Fortunately, for now, only the center of the three realms has changed, but it won't be long before it spreads.
The Dragon Qi on the Dragon Bone Sword gathered very quickly, and everyone worked hard to cooperate. Although the Dragon Qi of the dragon people was weak, even a little would be crucial to victory.
"Dragon Qi! I have lived through three worlds, witnessed the rise and fall of three worlds. Your challenge to my Dragon Qi is weaker than the new Dragon Realm, but how could I give up without trying?" At the last moment, Marutian looked at me, and his body was filled with surging Dragon Qi. The overwhelming ancient aura it emitted was truly excessive.
Layer by layer of Magic arrays covered the blade of the sword, the Dragon Qi broke through the clouds, shining brightly in the sky, illuminating the final flower of the dragon clan's life.
"Ugh! Bearing everyone's Dragon Qi is truly unbearable, so I will bear it with my life! Your ideas are not absolute. Even if you rebuild, so what?"
"How about that? As long as I exist, the dragon clan will not perish. As long as I exist, the guilt will never return. What do you think? Give back my body!"
Where the radiant giant sword passed, it cut through all obstacles without hesitation! Marutian's Dragon Qi fearlessly met the attack, and I saw a scene of devastation before me. The brilliance also happened to hit the Devourer, with destructive power extending from the sea surface all the way to the continent on the opposite shore, causing many divine beings on the other side to be affected.
Everywhere the Dragon Qi passed turned blood-red, whether it was the Devourer or the sea creatures, followed by a tsunami, likely triggered by tectonic movements.
As I swung the giant sword, I heard a faint sound coming from the Dragon Bone Sword, like a motor spinning. Surprisingly, the embryonic form of a Dragon Core was forming in the hollow hole of the blade.
"Qin Yang, another opportunity is in front of you!" Marutian's voice still lingered, I felt his presence, yet he was nowhere to be seen. However, the area enveloped by his Dragon Qi, from the sky to the seabed, vertically, became empty. Holes appeared in the sky and sea, and these voids kept expanding.
A dragon's roar sounded right in front of me, extremely close. I furrowed my brow as Marutian appeared before me, the smell of its breath indicating that everything was already too late!
Elena's dragon aura hadn't recovered, so I held her with one hand as she floated in midair, retreating quite a distance backwards.
"Qin Yang, I remember this feeling! An invisible giant dragon from ancient times, once great and selfless, now... causing the third world destruction out of selfish desires." Elena clung to my chest, showing rare signs of fear. She was the first to perish in the new dragon realm as the "Guardian Dragon of Sacred Objects," and the attack that day must have left an indelible shadow on her.
"Darn it, even at this juncture, I still cannot recall how I managed to sever the head of Monetios's dragon! Now everyone is temporarily powerless, making this a headache-inducing situation!" The magic of the orthodox dragon race is infinite and recovers very quickly, but it still requires time, which we happen to be running out of.
"It seems Monetios might have been right. Drawing out the Magic elements really does cause a clash among the three realms. This scene is truly chilling..." Elena, in the blink of an eye, gazed into the distance, seeing a world filled with a mix of chaos and countless animal carcasses. This was a battlefield larger than the war between gods and humans. Monetios's dragon roar echoed once more, and the sky began to spiral with shattered iridescent colors, signifying the clash and fusion of the three intertwined worlds, followed by a chaotic and purifying destruction, where all beings and things return to the world's power to start anew. This included the dragons behind us as well.
"Marutian, Monetios! Will he truly give up snatching my golden dragon body and directly proceed to the next stage?"
"Qin Yang, neither side has a choice. If he doesn't give up, you won't transform into a dragon, and without that transformation, you won't have a chance to defeat him. It's a deadlocked cycle, only you two can break it. I can't offer you advice."
"Look at that Devourer!"
After being hit hard once again by the recent dragon breath attack, the Devourer, whose core had been pierced, was now barely clinging to life. Despite its ability to survive in the cracks, it was still inferior to the dragon race.
The lingering power of the dragon breath attack continued to rampage, leaving no room for another battle between humans and gods. The higher-ranking gods and the demon king had been impaled by Marutian, leaving the lower-ranking gods, demons, and ordinary people with no choice but to escape within the limited space.
Monetios probably didn't need to go by the name Marutian anymore; he had discarded half of Marutian's dragon core, reclaiming his body once more. Although not his original form, this translucent body could unleash all the power of the dragon soul!
Grasping the remains of the Devourer's core in his hand, Monetios continued to absorb the Magic elements under his control without pause.
"Oh, it's a pity you won't get to see the end of the third phase," Monetios muttered to the Devourer's core. The Devourer was a partner to him, not a loved one, so he felt no remorse. If needed, he could easily find another Devourer to collaborate, as they both enjoyed witnessing the destruction of the world.
"Still indecisive, Qin Yang?" Monetios chuckled disgustingly from above.
"I don't wish to choose."
Grasping the Devourer's core, regardless of whether the Devourer could bear it, Monetios accelerated the absorption of Magic elements.
This Devourer's only worth lay in that.
"It seems you haven't seen enough! The first phase is about to be completed, and in the second phase, I will return everything to the world's power, using it to establish a new world!"
"The second stage? You mean infusing the power of the world into the holy artifact, right! This time, it's going to be a sacrifice of me!" I already imagined that it must be me who is going to be sacrificed.
"It was destined long ago. Dragons never believe in fate, because the strong determine their own fate!"
The sudden dragon language Magic from Monet Gauss was incredibly powerful, and my Dragon Bone Greatsword caused extreme pain as I blocked this attack. His assaults were no longer fancy, just pure brutality with the intent to kill.
Following that, another attack came, but this time, the Eighteen-Winged Nofice stepped in to block it for me. However, as an Angel, enduring such a brutal attack would only result in severe injuries for her.
"Nofice, don't take his attacks anymore!"
Nofice once again opened her defenses to withstand another attack from Monet Gauss. Suddenly, the main cannon aircraft carrier in the distance joined in, firing several rounds of Magic framework guns. Judging from the energy fluctuations, all the main cannon aircraft carriers seemed to be involved, and what was even more terrifying was the newly upgraded Othrie First Main Cannon aircraft carrier that had just set sail, joining in for a long-range attack. It seemed like a suicidal move.
"Everyone wants to survive, Qin Yang, you have to make a decision right away!"
I looked at the embryonic form of the dragon core on the hilt of my sword. Was there really no choice left? I was about to either be sacrificed here or defeat Monet Gauss. Must I... face this challenge? The Three Realms were so close, and the trials were bound to come.
Slowly, amidst the chaos, I heard some singing and laughter. How could anyone still be smiling at a time like this? The familiar voice and melody of Moana and Liyao singing were so comforting, as if finding a way out of the suffering. In the spiral sky, crossing between the Three Realms repeatedly, almost no one had expected the world's restructuring to come so soon. Until that day, they would not feel the true sense of despair. Yet, amidst the despair, they could hear the comforting voices of the singers. This feeling was hope: the living holding on to hope, the deceased hoping for rebirth, and the dragon race just wanting to live longer, to let the radiance of the dragons shine once more. And I hoped to love the girls in this world.
Listening to their voices was truly heartwarming. Filled with resolve, I understood that if I didn't move forward now, I would truly lose. Let go! Why should I insist on the golden dragon body? Even if I became transparent, it would be acceptable. The most important thing was not to be sacrificed and to defeat Monet Gauss!
"Have you made up your mind? I think I hear singing!" Elena regained some mobility.
"I have. It's their singing, a song dedicated to the wounded. I understand everyone's intentions. With this heavy heart, let's move forward without fear!"
I cut my palm, and with the fresh red blood, I reached into the hollow of the Dragon Bone Greatsword. I dyed the embryonic dragon core red with blood, and the half-dragon golden light entered the blade, infiltrating the dragon core. Finally, Monet Gauss smiled in delight. I wasn't sure how to deal with him next; I could only adapt on the fly.
The sword blade shimmered with golden light, surpassing even the colorful spiral sky. My hand felt excruciatingly painful, and the blood I extracted would need to be magically replenished to keep up. As the blood flowed, the true dragon chant sounded from within my mouth, no longer a simulated voice of a dragon soul!
