Dragon of Catastrophe

Her scales were not as hard and unyielding as Land’s; if covered by a barrage of firepower, she would inevitably get injured.

This forced her to stop attacking the Dorlan Star people’s base beneath her.

She turned instead to deal with these mechs.

The Rainbow Dragon raised its dragon claw and opened its mouth to breathe.

Gale, lightning, fire, space rifts, repulsion fields, and more bombarded the mechs in swathes.

Under normal circumstances, just getting hit by one of these would be enough to blow up the mechs.

Yet astonishingly, something unexpected happened to the Rainbow Dragon.

The mechs, as a group, activated their energy, releasing a strange domain that slowly dissolved all spells within a radius of several kilometers.

"Is this... a pseudo-domain? These weaklings have actually developed a pseudo-domain?

What is this? A dispelling domain? Eliminating all spell attacks?"

The Rainbow Dragon showed an expression of surprise.

But she quickly regained her composure.

Because in that moment, she realized that these thousands of mechs had lost considerable energy.

Ultimately, everything in the world merely comes down to energy collisions and molecular operations.

The dispelling domain of the Dorlan Star people looked domineering.

But in the eyes of the Rainbow Dragon, it seemed rather uneconomical.

Her spell, if quantified in energy consumption, would be one hundred.

Then the energy used to dispel the Rainbow Dragon’s spell was two hundred.

Using double the energy to eliminate attacks.

In the eyes of the Rainbow Dragon, such a domain was undoubtedly laughable.

A true domain uses ten units of energy to deal with one hundred units of the opponent’s energy output, effectively resolving the opponent through superior efficiency.

Seeing through the essence, the Rainbow Dragon was no longer awed.

Instead, she began recklessly expending her magic power, bombarding the mech group in waves.

A magic power contest?

Especially when the opponent was consuming double the energy in the exchange.

As a dragon, her innate magic power was already extraordinary.

What was there to fear?

The endless spell bombardments continued to be dispelled.

The battle between both sides seemed to turn into a protracted war.

Inside the Dorlan Star base.

The commander watched the outside scenario on the screen and couldn’t help asking:

"Have we measured it? How much alien energy does this dragon have inside its body?"

"Measured... measured it! It’s astonishing; this dragon’s energy has reached 10.06 million... already far beyond our previous estimate of the epic tier ten value of one million."

"Are you trying to tell me this dragon has surpassed the epic tier ten? Reached the True God Realm?

Fool! The previous values were all derived from humans, weren’t they? A giant dragon’s magic power is innately much stronger than humans.

Still, 10.06 million... truly an exaggerated monster... A human legendary magic power measures only around 1,000.

The energy contained within this dragon is unexpectedly 10,060 times that of a legend."

The commander couldn’t help but grind his teeth as he spoke.

But soon, he steadied his mind and said:

"Though this creature is a monster, it ultimately remains a single entity! In the face of a community, an individual is ultimately insignificant!

We absolutely will not lose!

Every mech we have is equipped with an energy capacity of 5,000.

Some are even piloted by casters themselves, with additional energy supplies, and we have the base’s demon tower continuously outputting energy, cooperating with the dispelling spell domain, the final victory is certainly ours!"

The commander’s expression was filled with calm confidence.

"Sir... sir... that dragon... that dragon’s alien energy regenerates very quickly..."

"How quickly?"

"It regenerates about 1,000 every second."

"Regenerating a legendary mage’s worth per second?" the commander’s voice raised unintentionally.

"This dragon is peculiar; numerous anomalies have appeared on its body, allowing it to quickly absorb ambient energy."

"Damn it! Things are indeed not that simple! Quickly initiate the next step!"

The commander shouted.

Outside.

The battle of energy consumption between the Rainbow Dragon and the mechs continued.

Yet from the distant mountain peaks,

A solid black cannonball blasted towards the Rainbow Dragon at nearly eighty times the speed of sound!

Before the Rainbow Dragon realized it, she was hit directly, her over-five-hundred-meter-long body blasted several kilometers away by the cannonball.

"Fantastic! We hit it! Damn dragon! Taste the might of the super magnetic storm bullet... Wait, it has risen again? Is it planning to destroy the magnetic storm cannon? Quick! Deploy the mech units for protection!"

"Hahaha! It’s bleeding! The dragon is bleeding! Its scale armor shattered by us! Although not much, we’ve done it!

Wait... its recovery is so fast... The blood, the blood actually stopped...

Damn! How can this dragon’s recovery power be so strong? Even the magnetic storm bullet couldn’t bring it down?

Moreover, what is this dragon’s relationship with Fiona Saphis Oakben and Land Saphis Oakben?"

The commander looked on as the Rainbow Dragon restored itself, his eyes filled with fury.

"Commander, the previous cannon shot consumed at least 20,000 of the dragon’s alien energy, it wasn’t in vain! Its recovery consumed its own alien energy."

"If so, then continue the attack!"

The deadlock on the surface persisted.

Cannonballs from the distant mountain-top magnetic storm cannons occasionally launched, harassing the Rainbow Dragon.

Keeping both sides in a delicate balance.

The Rainbow Dragon’s strength lay in its spell abilities, but its capabilities in close combat were not strong.

Even though it underwent continuous modifications, perhaps due to innate tendencies, its modifications always focused on magic power, recovery, and similar aspects.

Close combat ability had never been her strong suit.

So much so that she couldn’t directly engage in melee with the enemy.

The critical issue was that the Rainbow Dragon never anticipated being stalled by something she had once dismissed as weak.

Her heart was filled with amazement.

At the same time, she also felt that the pseudo-domain manufactured by the Dorlan Star people wasn’t as pathetic as imagined.

Though energy consumption was immense, when used at critical moments and special circumstances, it did indeed yield good results.

The Rainbow Dragon tussled with the Dorlan Star people for a long time, and finally, she retreated.

The Dorlan Star people within the base all breathed a sigh of relief at this sight.

In the command room, each Dorlan Star person cheered excitedly.

They had defeated a near-god-like giant dragon!

Relying on the magical and technological might of the entire base!

At the same time, this was also a victory of Dorlan Star people’s unity!

Power that cannot be gathered is merely loose sand, but if perfectly consolidated, even if individually far inferior, there is a chance to rival or even surpass the opponent.

Clearly, today’s Dorlan Star civilization, much like the previous Toria Arcane Empire, had this kind of capability.

This was a triumph of unity, greatly boosting the confidence of the Dorlan Star people.

..........

The Rainbow Dragon returned to the base with a gloomy expression.

Which caused unease among dragons like Fiona, who hadn’t made it to the battlefield in time to watch.

"You... failed?"

"I already crushed the spaceship near Land’s slumber site, but the base you mentioned, I did not destroy.

Their growth somewhat exceeded my expectations; they could actually stalemate with me..."

"So you indeed failed."

"Tsk~ I thought being Land’s beloved dragon would make you remarkable, how impressive, yet this is all it is?"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ What legendary breed of giant dragon? In the end, just this?"

A few female dragons, who had always been envious of Land, began to jeer one after another.

Which only added to the Rainbow Dragon’s annoyance, and she immediately buried their heads in the sand, even more upset.

"Can you get someone stronger to destroy the Dorlan Star people since you failed? You’ve stayed here so long, you should have some connections, right?" Xiao Female Dragon still asked with concern.

"Regarding the spaceship near Land’s slumber area, I already destroyed it, but as for the base you mentioned, I couldn’t destroy it.

Their development took me a bit by surprise.

The king beasts of this territory should have already noticed the activities of the Dorlan Star people, but haven’t acted, clearly having their plans.

Now I’m no longer prepared to act, as long as I watch over the fixed star where Land slumbers, it’s enough. If anyone dares to approach there, I’ll take them all down.

We’ll wait for everything, until Land awakens.

Once again, they waited half a year.
