Chapter 519 - 321: The Dragon of Space-Time!_2
The Great Elder looked at the performances of his seven junior siblings with a touch of disappointment yet still spoke with a booming voice, "As elders of the overseas mystical realm, none of us eight have managed to contract the primary mystical beast. Do I really need to explain why?"
"How is it that, in the beginning, when there were no beast contracts, we were full of ambition, determined to forcefully contract the dragon species of the sea, only to fail repeatedly? Instead, we inadvertently facilitated the growth of this dragon species to its current state through our baits."
"So much so that now, even our sect is utterly helpless. Do you really intend to shirk responsibility at this time and abandon it?"
The Great Elder’s eyes flashed with sharp light, his words goading them, which finally caused some emotional ripples in the other seven elders.
"But, Great Elder, even if we are willing, we are powerless. What can we do?"
An elder, looking somewhat remorseful, couldn’t help but speak up after hearing the Great Elder’s words, his expression full of sighs.
"Indeed, the dragon has now matured. Even if we are willing, we are, nonetheless, powerless."
"This dragon has reached a realm of magic that is beyond imagination. Not to mention that none of the seven of us are at that magical realm, even if we all ascended to that realm, compared to this dragon, our powers are but mere pretenses. Whether we could match it or not is debatable."
"Right now, the dragon can only be visible because it is suppressed by the pagoda. If it escapes and employs its concealment magic, we might not even be able to see it, let alone capture it."
"Concealment would be the least of our worries. If it were to unleash its battle magic, we might just turn into lonely spirits and wild ghosts in this vast ocean..."
"The force of time and space, how can we contend..."
The seven elders spoke one after another, but no matter what they said, they could not escape a sense of powerlessness.
