Chapter 946 - 463: Grace of Life
Isn’t that guy allied with Zosia?
Li Ang was momentarily surprised, and at the same time, Dragon Lightning flickered instantly, breaking the force field cast by Gorum.
It was Inanna who took the lead, and when the other Six Dragons saw her protecting Li Ang, they aided her as well.
Gorum’s power was interrupted, the Divine Light in his eyes withdrew to the depths of his double pupils, he restrained his power and sat calmly, as if nothing had happened.
The actions of the Eternal King in the sky were inherently stealthy, and at this moment, it was even harder to discern what he was doing.
Li Ang and Inanna had no time to issue further warnings, Zosia’s ritual was at the most critical moment, the Creation Formula guiding the essence of the Dragon Race through the final construction phase, the resulting Magic Wind was so strong that the attending guests had to erect barriers.
Any magical disturbance at this moment would disrupt the balance of the ritual, causing an energy breach, the surging high-tier energy would result in a great calamity, therefore the powerful Zosia must continue to preside over the ritual.
Under Zosia’s control, the silver dragon egg melted into liquid and separated, finally vaporizing into pure energy, and at the center of the original dragon egg, a winged silhouette slowly rose.
He not only wanted the dragon egg to take shape, but he also needed it to hatch immediately.
Li Ang noticed changes in the breathing of the surrounding Dragon Gods, whether representing the Elemental Order of the Six Dragons or the most primitive Power of Dragon of the Dragon Ancestor.
Inanna leaned close to Li Ang and whispered, "Based on the current power alone, this truly is a perfect dragon."
"I don’t feel it, whether it’s the Six Elements Rhythm or the talent abilities of the other Dragon Ancestors." Li Ang, who had a fairly deep understanding of the Sea Serpent and Fairy Dragon, felt that the winged silhouette did not have anything special.
"It’s normal that you can’t see it because the extreme concentration makes it look very weak, yet its purity of power is closer to the Father God than any of us, it can be said, it’s strong in its primordial nature level, capable of limitless extensions from the original point of Power of Dragon."
"I see."
Li Ang understood why the Dragon Gods were moved.
The winged silhouette gradually grew larger, the flowing energy solidified, outlining veins and a form for it, and a slender-bodied "dragon" gradually revealed its complete form.
It spread wide its vast wings, suspended almost in an upright posture, its limbs, neck, waist, abdomen, tail, and dragon jaw appeared very lean, however, through Inanna’s explanation, Li Ang understood, this is the most basic posture of power concentration.
A mature woman looking Leviathan said, "If it wishes, then whether it’s growing organs to wield energy or muscles to stockpile brute force, it can freely expand change to achieve the ideal posture for meeting needs."
Since the Earth Dragon mentioned the Father God, Li Ang recalled Bahamut’s image, that great dragon had larger multi-jointed wings than other dragon species, and limbs and tail proportionally longer and stronger than the torso, from this perspective, the dragon-man before him indeed approaches Him.
Nebis had two types of dragon-men, one from the Ancient Era, where powerful Dragons could roam the Earth freely, and birthed offspring combined with mortal bloodlines, their strength was strong, yet with more or less flaws, such as lacking wings, or having surplus body parts, and their power would roughly match the ancient elves, unable to compare with a True Dragon.
The other type, was dragon-men created by the Bailong Sect using various twisted secret techniques, essentially, they were beings in dragon form, but actually just creations of evil magic.
And this one is completely different before his eyes. The concentrated Power of the Primordial Dragon within its body allows it not to be confined to conventional limits.
Brigitte said expressionlessly, "It is both a dragon-man, and a true dragon, it could be a mountain-sized giant dragon, or a demon dragon with powerful mana, whether it conquers with authority or confuses with illusion techniques, its power rises freely and comes willingly."
Agni frowned and said, "If such a race grows and proliferates, it would definitely be a force that cannot be ignored, not to mention subsequent Nebis, even in this Ancient Era it would be the same."
"Black and Red would never accept such existence." Ancestor of Feathered Serpent said.
The dominance of the Dragon Ancestor comes from controlling huge races.
There might be competition among dragon races, Li Ang heard discussions from scholars in Thousand Tower City, previously, none of the Six Dragons he knew had a bloodline, while Livi’s Sea Serpent descendants enjoyed exclusive rights to the ocean, so no dragon would confirm this for him.
Now, confirmed through the words of the Ancestor of Feathered Serpent.
What should such an entity be called then? Primordial Dragon-man? Or Supreme Dragon-man? Li Ang had a term flash through his mind, later the Bailong Sect seemed to also attempt creating the ultimate dragon-man.
The energy from the ritual gradually condensed and gathered to a central point, the energy trajectory of the Crystal Sanctuary transformed the area into a lotus platform, and this ultimate dragon-man was the child descended upon by countless graces.
The dragon-man’s exterior fully formed, the iridescent silver scales over its body even bore slight resemblance to Li Ang’s state during Dragon Transformation Promotion.
However, the energy streaming into its body suddenly stagnated, uncontrolled reverse impact scattered from its body to the outside world.
The dragon’s visage revealed ferocity in pain, it roared opening its eyes, the moist eye membranes originally covered with liquid energy were now turned into fiery disaster burning itself.
"Gah—!!!"
The dragon-man’s wails pierced the firmament with a magnified magical shock effect, and the twisted light pillar also reached the heavens.
Sitting within Akuya’s embrace, Annette flew into the air, revealing a pair of wings hidden beneath its lush long fur in Jade Cat’s appearance.
"Meow wow, it grew an extra organ than ordinary dragons, which led to its inability to balance its power."
"If this continues, it will self-destruct."
Akuya said with a look of sorrow, casting a glance to Brigitte.
Among the Six Dragons present, except for Dark Attribute, the other five elements all possess healing attributes, but speaking of truly powerful healing abilities, only Earth containing life and Light guiding birth of new things truly stand out.
In such a case of self mutation, Light’s healing attributes prove to be more effective than those of Earth Element.
Brigitte frowned at the dragon-man, shaking her head: "This stems from the defect at the time of its birth. If it were an ordinary Dragon Race, it could be excised and recreated, but in the current situation, I’m not sure. Moreover, rash actions would cause the energy of the ritual itself to leak, turning this area into a wasteland."
Even though the Primordial Being doesn’t care about the lives of its servants, the Six Dragons don’t wish for living beings here to be devastated.
Li Ang looked at Esso, the Eternal King, in the sky chariot. Although he didn’t show much change in expression, possibly due to witnessing subtle expressions of schemers filled with bad intentions, Li Ang could feel the inner pride of this so-called Supreme Divine Spirit.
Zosia’s always calm crystal face also stirred. One hand stabilized the energy stream to prevent it from collapsing, while the other manipulated spirituality, forming the Spirit Casting Art.
No, it was the reverse operation of the Spirit Casting Art. Li Ang immediately saw the clue.
"At this moment, has Zosia already mastered the Reversed Spirit Casting Technique?" he asked Inanna.
The Dragon Maiden’s reply remained the same. In the original history, even though the Six Dragons maintained a decent relationship with Zosia, he was an extremely unique existence among the Primordial Being, even an outlier among his kin, and the Six Dragons did not have any deep exchanges with him.
This dragon-man creation ritual should indeed be a true event, perhaps some Dragon Gods were invited without Inanna’s knowledge, but from the perspective of the outcome, there’s no mention from them. It wasn’t supposed to be a major event.
"Perhaps it’s something that the Ten Thousand Spirits wants to tell you," Inanna said.
Li Ang glanced at Diao, the brown-skinned young girl, who shared the same thought.
"Is it possible that the reason why creating dragon-men wasn’t mentioned is because certain things from this ritual took up all the discussion?"
Li Ang kept his gaze on Zosia.
For the "Demon King," the Reversed Spirit Casting Technique is a magic he founded. As one of the strongest polarities among the Primordial Being, the Reversed Spirit Casting Technique should be instantly actionable.
However, Zosia hesitated at this moment.
Finally, he lifted his head, exchanging glances with Esso.
The clear Crystal Divine Spirit, embodied and adorned with gemstone decorations, they were like opposing polarities.
Esso wasn’t supposed to come to this ritual either.
The dragon-man’s cries grew increasingly piercing, Zosia withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to point at its forehead, activating the dragon-man’s thinking spirituality.
It sensed something, its eyes turned to look at its creator.
Zosia continued casting, and Li Ang discerned that with exquisite technique, he directly adjusted the dragon-man’s complex spirituality, infusing information into its memory.
The dragon-man absorbed the essence of many Dragon Gods, naturally possessing exceptional potential and high intelligence. However, no matter how wise a mind is, it requires experience and knowledge accumulation. It’s unclear what Zosia originally planned, but at this moment, he needed this dragon-man to think for itself.
"Tell me, do you want to survive?" the Crystal Divine Spirit asked.
The dragon-man struggled in pain, and if it wasn’t for its immense talent, the pain from abnormal organ growth and out-of-control energy flow would have already driven it insane. It seemed to be caught in a dilemma, whether to accept this imperfect life or simply be freed from it.
"I don’t... know... Ughhhhh!"
The dragon’s piercing roar struggled to form coherent words.
Zosia softly sighed, his gaze seemed to pierce through everything, seeing far beyond.
"You know, the world changes every day. Even if you think you’ve mastered a lot of knowledge today, tomorrow, you’ll find more new things. One day, I was surprised to find that I might feel that birth is a wonderful thing, life itself like a benediction."
Zosia calmly spoke a few words to the dragon-man.
The dragon-man’s breathing grew increasingly rapid but became more regulated.
"I, I want to see..."
"Alright then."
With a faint sigh, Zosia’s palm was covered in crimson, the Reversed Spirit Casting Technique instantly wiped away the discordant growth within the dragon-man, and the chaotic energy suddenly ceased, returning to order.
Condensed energy turned into a drizzle, falling down gently, and the dragon-man landed slowly. Although its newly born legs seemed weak, they stood firm, without any wobble.
It raised its front paw, curling its tail, observing itself.
Li Ang suddenly felt a warmth in his palm, a radiant glow condensed within his hand.
"This is a gift from the Ten Thousand Spirits," Diao immediately said.
