Chapter 16: Dragons
Zhao agreed, his voice calm but resolute as he processed the implications, his mind already weaving a strategy to integrate these treasures into Abyss's framework. "We'll nurture the egg with combat energy and resources—Elara, oversee its care, ensure it's exposed to the Knights' training sessions and whatever we can spare from the warehouse. It's a mystery we'll unravel through battle." He paused, his gaze shifting to the Dragon Nest, its draconic aura tugging at his bloodline with an almost palpable pull that resonated deep within his Supreme God Devouring Omniversal Physique, stirring the Dragon God Blood in his veins like a dormant flame reigniting. "The Dragon Nest—I'll build it myself near the Lord's House. I want those dragons summoned as soon as possible to bolster our defenses and enhance my own power. The class change certificate and equipment... I'll hold onto them for now. We need to understand their full potential before committing."
Zhao stepped forward, the Dragon Nest cradled in his hands, its faint roar growing louder and more insistent as he approached an open patch of ground near the Lord's House, a strategic spot he'd chosen for its proximity to the already constructed Divine Forge and Celestial Alchemy Lab. The air around him thrummed with the subtle vibrations of the territory's power, the heat from the forge mingling with the celestial glow of the lab, creating a nexus of energy that seemed to pulse in time with his heartbeat. He knelt, placing the miniature structure gently on the earth, his fingers lingering on its intricately carved surface—scales and claws etched with a precision that spoke of ancient craftsmanship, each detail a testament to the Dragon Progenitor's art. As his touch lingered, a surge of energy coursed through him, a resonance from his Dragon God Blood awakening with a ferocity that made his pulse quicken, sending a shiver down his spine as the draconic essence within his Supreme God Devouring Omniversal Physique flared to life, its power surging like a river breaking its banks.
The ground beneath the nest trembled violently, a low rumble spreading through Abyss as cracks of golden light spiderwebbed outward from its base, illuminating the soil in a radiant web. A blinding column of brilliance erupted upward, piercing the sky with a glow that rivaled the midday sun, bathing the territory in a warm, golden sheen that cast long, shimmering shadows across the landscape. The system chimed with a series of resonant tones, each note echoing like a proclamation from the heavens, reverberating through the air and stirring a primal response in Zhao's blood.
