Chapter 119: Partial Dragonification
Nero’s Inner World
It was an endless expanse—as vast and eternal as the cosmos itself.
A boundless celestial plane where silence reigned, broken only by the distant hum of primordial energy echoing across eternity.
High above, nine stars hung motionless in the void, each radiating with its own unique hue and presence. They weren’t merely stars—they were lawful cores, ancient and divine, holding the essence of powers beyond mortal comprehension.
Among them, one star blazed brighter than all the rest—
A furious sphere of crimson light, roaring like a miniature sun.
This was the Red Star, burning brilliantly as though celebrating its release after countless eons in bondage. Its flames danced and licked into the void with untamed joy, a beacon of raw, unchained fire—alive, aware, and waiting.
Not far from it hovered the Golden Star, majestic but restrained.
Six thick black chains coiled around its glowing form like serpents, holding back its power, though one link was already broken, and the remaining six trembled faintly—like seals on the verge of collapse.
The remaining seven stars, each glimmering with different colors—azure, emerald, violet white....—floated like sleeping gods.
But they were silent.
Nine black chains wrapped each of them completely, suffocating their light, their colors dulled into lifelessness.
