Chapter 608
The seconds before the collision are the most intense.
The entire flight over has been slightly nerve-wracking, but now that I am about to collide with a bronze earth dragon that is 5,000 levels above me, with a True Core of similar strength to my own, the reality of my predicament sinks in.
The air becomes thick as our silky white-yellow auras intertwine from over 20 kilometers away, exerting pressure on each other even before we physically meet.
I can feel dense gravity waves emanating from this beast.
They are far more concentrated, refined, and powerful than the malformed yellow core I fought this morning two continents away.
The scope of the power I'm facing nears that of what I felt when meeting the green divine serpent in the sky.
This is a monstrous force. It is a being at its prime and has refined its power to create a glistening core so mighty its beauty is awe-inspiring.
The difference between my interaction with the green serpent and the bronze dragon before me now is that the power that violently cycles within my own chest, waiting to be released, feels as though it can match the incredible force approaching me.
There may be a god-like entity attacking me now, but as I lift my blades above my head, I feel as though we are equals.
