"This feeling..." Gauss inside the golden light noticed something different, as the Magic attacks came towards him, indicating that he was not deterred by the feeling.
In the world where heaven and earth spun, a deep dragon roar suddenly resounded, layer upon layer continuously increasing, reaching a point where even Geirerofi and Elena couldn't hold on. These sounds emanated from every color dispersed, each timbre unique.
"Buzz!" Gauss's attack Magic was blocked by the colorful light.
"I have to admire you, Qin Yang! Achieving such a reverse summoning, but to have the Dragon Souls of the ancient Dragon Emperors summoned is a disgrace!"
"The imperial power hidden within the dragon bodies belongs to the ancient Dragon Emperors. It was impossible to summon them based on that power, after all, their connection with me is very weak. They never existed in the three realms' timeline from beginning to end, but now that the old dragon world's timeline is connected to the three realms' timeline, it's a good opportunity. However, what is summoned is not just Dragon Souls."
Emerging from the colorful light, the changes began. Gauss's eyes slowly started to tremble. He could clearly see complete dragon bodies within the colored light, gradually emerging one by one, coming into existence vividly before Gauss's eyes.
"No... you brought them from the old dragon world! They have long ceased to exist in this world, you..."
"I told you that you cannot evade your responsibility for their deaths. Faced with them, can you still speak those words from before?"
"You cannot keep them existing in this world forever. Why should we both perish together? Let them leave quickly!"
"Are you afraid? I am not afraid. At this point, I don't care anymore!" Indeed, maintaining a large number of ancient Dragon Emperors in this world posed great danger. But with their support, it's a risk worth taking.
"How could I be afraid! They are just your puppets!"
Although Gauss claimed that seeing the ancient Dragon Emperors wouldn't shake his resolve, they began to question and condemn him. With each question, Gauss was taken aback. These accusations spanned from the old dragon world to the new dragon world, and I didn't know what transpired in the new dragon world. The battle between Gauss and I began after the disappearance of the new dragon world.
Faced with the individual accusations of these ancient dragon clans, their words were like needles piercing Gauss's heart. Gauss's power might be limitless, but there must be a limit to his inner strength!
"I will not... be swayed by you!" Under the fierce criticism from the dragon emperors, Gauss entered a self-contained mode enveloped entirely in golden light, focusing on restructuring the world.
"Listen, these are the inner thoughts of the dragons. They once worshipped you as a selfless hero, presenting you with the most dazzling dragon bodies but never receiving your understanding. In reality, these transparent dragon bodies had long been assigned a name for you—the Radiant Heroic Bodies!"
"Hero! I no longer need it. In the end, heroes are just forgotten by them! If it weren't for the destruction of the new dragon world, they would be roaring loudly at me here, harboring this deep-seated resentment. Eliminating them once again is what I should do now!" Gauss ranted, the exasperated roars masking the guilt he struggled to suppress.
Gauss and I continued to vie for control over the world relentlessly. Yet, he possessed the power to activate the Dragon Magic—a dormant dragon language, completing this spell could silence the voices together, even the powerful Magic-infused dragon roars.
"Gauss, I remember you once had the desire to bring back the dragons in the dragon ark as the last remnants of the dragon clan. But you also wished to start your new life in the new world by erasing memories. You think your guilt doesn't require redemption, despite trying to conceal it. But what about the dragons in the three realms? The sins will continue to haunt you. So, what will you do to free yourself?"
I raised my dragon claw, pointing at Mornagath amidst the dragon roar, but he stubbornly refused to respond to me.
"Pitiful, you desire so much but lack the courage to see it through to the end. You must retrieve your golden dragon body before giving up, this is despicable! It ends now!" I flew towards Mornagath at an incredibly high speed, weaving through the colorful dragon crowd with determination to win. In an instant, I relinquished control over the world, letting the shimmering lights flicker with the rage about to erupt from my heart. The lights transformed into a human form, with two Holy Demon Dragon swords revolving around my hands, piercing into the golden light.
"If you are not wholehearted, then you might as well let me take over!" Breaking through the golden light that served as Mornagath's defensive barrier was no easy feat. However, the energy fluctuations from the dual swords had interrupted Mornagath's dragon language Magic, unleashing a chaotic world of havoc. The aftermath left many lives uncertain, only those proficient in Magic could survive.
"Defeat me in a human form! What a joke, the biggest in this world." Despite the interruption of his dragon language Magic, Mornagath still faced the interrogation and condemnation of the ancient dragon emperor. Their words carried discontent towards the dragon race, with descendants and friends long gone, leaving only their anger towards Mornagath, steadily eroding his will. I could clearly hear his impatient grinding teeth.
"Qin Yang is both human and dragon, the protagonist of this battle is not just a dragon, I bear the fate of not only the dragon race but also humanity. My goal is to restore the world."
"No ambition!" Without my intervention, Mornagath rapidly proceeded with the world fusion, leaving only the central zone of the three realms unchanged. The rest descended into darkness, a desolate world that was not the world's original state. A world without even darkness was the true form.
"I have my own ideas! How can I make you see... But before that, I need to find the power truly belonging to me, the power that is the source of my identity and responsibility, the power that will give me confidence for the future." The radiant and dark interactions emanating from the spinning dual swords in my hands heralded the arrival of the future in my grasp.
"The title of Chrono-Dragon is yours again, I have my own path!"
"What do you really want, dragon! Ah, these old dragon emperor souls are so irritating, be quiet!"
"I... am the Dragon of Future Creation!" The power coalesced into a bright and heavy sword in my hands, embodying hope and the future. I should be able to create, as this power reverberated within me.
"Abandon the past, focus on the future? Choose a different path from mine! Admirable courage, but both you and I have no retreat!" Mornagath spat out a golden Magic ball, intending to destroy me.
"Indeed, there is no time to retreat! Ah! Bear the strength of the hearts longing for the future!" My sword relentlessly broke through the golden light, guided by the laws of the timeline, where only a backward movement of twenty-four hours could induce change. No amount of years, even a million, could alter the past. Only the future could be changed.
The sword of colored light, unexpectedly, pierced through the golden Magic ball, arriving before Mornagath.
"Why! It's because of you..." What enabled me to pass through the golden Magic ball unscathed was the colorful light connected to the power bestowed by the ancient dragon emperor.
"The will of the ancient dragon emperor demands you to relent!" The blade shimmered with light, illuminating time instantaneously, relentlessly pointing towards Mornagath's dragon head. The dragon's final defense was its body, yet the sword had penetrated Mornagath's dragon body by ten centimeters, a feat unbelievable but true.
"You all... Stop talking, it's so annoying! Since you have all forgotten about me, don't pretend to be so wronged. Choosing to sacrifice my dragon body is actually your selfishness, so we are all selfish! You have no right to blame me!"
I could clearly feel Mo Nai Gaus trembling, looking at the former Dragon Emperor. I must have stirred up something in his heart; he was on the verge of collapsing, wasn't he?
"Selfishness is inevitable, but if you keep talking about the future of the dragon race, then you can't be overly selfish! And you have already lost."
All the moments of the ancient Dragon Emperors dissipated, the colorful light returned to my body, the intent of the ultimate sword filled my entire body, fully focused on one attack.
"This is... the future of life!"
The rainbow swords pierced through the dragon head, all the way through, the rotating world fell into an unusually quiet state, nothing changed as a result, except for Mo Nai Gaus whose gradually dimming golden light.
"I have created a future to defeat you!"
The golden dragon body slowly transformed back into a human form. I didn't quite understand why he would revert to a human form when dying as a dragon would be the best option.
"I... remember a lot, the glorious days we once shared, the sincere Ancient Dragon Emperors, but... in the end, I still don't... think I was wrong!" Mo Nai Gaus fell into a pool of blood. The once invincible golden dragon body was shattered, but this was not the final failure, only the dragon soul remained undestroyed...
"Right or wrong, only you know, you don't have to tell me."
Suddenly, the Ancient Dragon Emperors reappeared. The power they wielded and the Dragon Language they spoke created the true "Prisoner of Ten Thousand Dragons." Under the level of Dragon Emperor's "Prisoner of Ten Thousand Dragons," Mo Nai Gaus' dragon soul was pinned down within his body.
Under my control, the rainbow heavy sword was pointed vertically at Mo Nai Gaus, but it did not end his dragon soul.
"Is this... your power? Very strong... You are a Dragon Slayer of the human race, aren't you?"
"There's no need to mention that I seem like a traitor. Pursuing the future is my choice."
"So... Are you going to seal me? Like you?"
"Sealing you would be the greatest harm to you, death would be your release!"
"Death? Perhaps, I no longer have any desires."
"In the end, for the Golden Dragon Body to come to this point, was it worth it?"
"You can't understand, so... you won't grasp it."
"Indeed, I may not understand, but it doesn't matter. As long as I understand myself. I assume that my further speculation on Mo Nai Gaus is futile; he will not turn back, and the dragon race will not give him a chance.
"You are already stronger than me, so don't waste any more time." Mo Nai Gaus was well aware that the rainbow giant sword could obliterate his dragon soul, as he had already been wounded in the soul.
"Do you want to hear how I will achieve the path I have chosen?"
"Achieve?" Monegauss weakly stared at me, curious why a defeated dragon would still waste time listening to my nonsense.
