Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 130 Water World

“All living things on the ground—man and livestock, insects and birds—have been wiped out from the ground…”

—The Old Testament of the Bible

"Boom!!!"

The thunder roared incessantly, deafeningly, and accompanied by the torrential rain, creating a sound like a grand and stirring symphony.

Inside the violently rocking ship, amidst the panicked and uneasy cries of numerous animals, he stumbled forward, barely managing to grab onto a wooden pillar to avoid falling. Then, he suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.

"Father!"

Before him, Noah stood with his back to him, his hands resting on the window frame, his silent gaze fixed on the world outside the ship, which was engulfed in torrential rain. No matter how much the ship rocked, he could not be pulled away from that small window.

Watching his father's retreating figure, Shan suddenly realized that his father seemed to have aged considerably. Although his appearance remained the same, something seemed to have changed...

"flash……"

Suddenly, Noah's voice rang out. He paused for a moment, then responded.

"Yes."

Before Shem, Noah remained silent, but instead raised his hand and pointed to the world outside the window…

That world, where as far as the eye could see, was a vast expanse of water, nothing but water, with no other colors in sight. All that could be seen was a vast ocean amidst thunder, lightning, and torrential rain; there was nothing else.

"Look... those dragons are gone."

Noah's deep voice reached Shem's ears, filled with profound bewilderment.

……

What is the largest flood you can imagine?

Was it an unstoppable flood that engulfed the vast land? Or did it submerge all the mountains? Noah, however, witnessed a flood far more devastating than any imagined.

On the first day, the great flood poured down from the sky, submerging all the farmland and towns. At that time, when Noah looked out of his window, he could only see many debris, tree remains, and even the remains of people and animals floating on the water.

Looking out the window, water was everywhere, with only distant mountains faintly visible. These towering mountains, thousands of feet high, could not be swallowed up by the great flood.

The next day, Noah saw many strange, flying monsters gathered outside the ship...

Vampires with bat wings, griffins that resemble a combination of lions and vultures, tiny winged elves, and illusory giants made of clouds... numerous strange species and spirits flew outside the ship, surrounding it completely.

Water can drown those who cannot fly, but it cannot drown these flying monsters for a while.

When the monsters discovered the large ship sailing on the water, they were overjoyed and desperately tried to rest on it. However, they could not get close to the ship at all, as if an invisible barrier was protecting it.

Those monsters, who were either allies for a thousand years or mortal enemies in the past, now seemed to have gone mad, frantically trying to get onto the large ship.

At this moment, it was no use what race they were or what kind of magic they possessed.

These once invincible and powerful monsters pleaded, tried to lure Noah's family with money, offered to become their servants, or even transformed into handsome men and beautiful women... but none of these worked.

Noah once saw a beautiful siren pleading with him, offering to be a slave for eternity in exchange for the chance to enter the ship.

She was so eloquent, intelligent, wise, calm, and knowledgeable that she far exceeded Noah's imagination. He could even vaguely see that she possessed a certain demeanor and majesty befitting a queen, to the point that Noah wavered and wondered if he could allow this spirit, who had never harmed anyone, to enter the ship.

however……

The enigmatic, wise, and beautiful spirit queen, whose life story is shrouded in mystery, eventually succumbed to exhaustion and plunged into the unfathomable sea. Every moment, countless creatures around the ship fell into the ocean from exhaustion, no matter how powerful or influential they had been in life, they were still so insignificant in the face of the endless storms and torrential rain.

Every moment, countless battles were taking place around this large ship. Some were trying to get food because of hunger, while others were killing indiscriminately because they felt that disaster was imminent. All kinds of creatures kept pouring in from all directions and falling into the sea.

Time passed day by day, and the number of monsters that remained around the large ship dwindled. Eventually, the arrival of a powerful species forced even these few remaining monsters to flee...

On the twelfth day, the dragon appeared.

The dragon's broad wings blotted out the sky, and its roar shook the heavens. The dragon's power made all living beings tremble with fear.

The colossal dragons, some tens of meters long and as large as small mountains, waved their broad wings, creating storms in the air. They spewed scorching dragon breath, instantly annihilating the remaining monsters.

An indescribably awe-inspiring scene: countless dragons soaring in the sky, emitting earth-shaking roars. When the deep and powerful dragon roars converged, it was as if the dragons were singing an epic.

Their enormous figures blotted out the sky, making even the sun pale in comparison. There had never been such a sight since the birth of the world, as if all the dragons in the world had appeared here.

That power was enough to turn any kingdom on earth into a sea of ​​fire in an instant, and it could even make the angelic legions in heaven fear it. Apart from God and the devil, they had no rivals.

This time, however, they are about to face judgment from God...

When the dragon king, appearing amidst thunder, with its enormous wingspan, stood before Noah, its majestic and sacred presence almost made Noah believe he was seeing a god. Awe and fear of this colossal creature filled Noah's heart.

However, even the Dragon King, the king of all dragons, could only humbly try to plead with Noah that in this era when the whole world was swallowed by water, even the greatest dragons could not stay on the ground forever; dragons get tired and need to rest.

However, Noah could not grant the Dragon King's request. No one could open the barrier on the great ship, and no living being could enter. Only God could decide who was qualified to enter the great ship.

In order to wait for the fortieth day after the waters receded as Noah had predicted, the adult dragons carried the young dragons in flight. When they were exhausted, other dragons carried the young dragons. The first to fall into the sea was the mighty and infinitely powerful dragon king.

Every day, amidst storms, torrential rains, and thunder and lightning, exhausted dragons fall into the sea.

The powerful dragons died one by one, leaving only the young dragons. The young dragons died one by one, leaving only the baby dragons.

Have you ever heard the cry of a dragon?

Noah had heard of it.

It was a mournful and plaintive sound, a mournful sound of resentment that lingered in Noah's mind and he could not forget it for a long time.

On the twenty-seventh day, the dragon disappeared into the sky, but the water level continued to rise...

……

On the thirty-fourth day, Noah finally understood how high the waters had risen, because he saw clouds outside his window…

The dark clouds were almost within arm's reach, and the lightning within them seemed almost tangible.

The water has risen to the sky.

No living thing can fly that high, so naturally no living thing can survive in such a vast body of water.

From that time on, Noah saw no more creatures, no more things, neither dragons nor birds, nor anything else; all life died.

Accompanying it was only the boundless ocean outside the large ship.

In my ears, I could almost hear angels singing praises to God from the clouds.

"O God, may the nations praise you, may all peoples praise you! May all nations rejoice and shout for joy, for you will judge all peoples with justice and guide all the nations of the world..."
