The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 103 I Bet Everything on the New Era

The area under the No. 0 viaduct in the Nibelungen was flooded by the sea. As previously speculated by Emiya and others, the water on the side close to the land was only tens of meters deep, while the other side was the real sea.

As for what is hidden beneath the deep sea...

In ancient times, Westerners often imagined that there were terrifying monsters roaming the sea. Whether it was the Kraken in the Norse legend, or the Hydra and Charybdis in the Greek legend, they all implied that this place was a dark and dark abyss of death where evil was concentrated.

The East, on the other hand, imagined that there was a huge and unimaginably magnificent palace under the sea. This was the residence of the "Dragon King" who was in charge of the ocean and rainfall. Surrounding this gorgeous crystal palace decorated with corals, pearls and gems were endless treasures buried there and many aquatic monsters living in groups.

All I can say is that people’s imaginations are often biased.

For example, in the deepest part of the sea here, there are not so many rich and diverse things distributed. What stands here is a complex of buildings designed according to the standards of the dragon clan.

The building complex is composed of concentric circle structures, expanding outward from the central cylindrical plaza.

There are wonderful and special water flows connecting the buildings, emitting alchemical waves with a unique rhythm. These currents bring together the water from the deep sea, and at the same time form a water film that wraps the air above and below the buildings, protecting them from the corrosion of running water.

The exterior of the building has exquisite bronze reliefs that add lifelike brilliance to the huge solid walls. The ingenious lighthouse in the corner is designed with the image of a huge bronze sculpture holding a lamp high, and its ferocious appearance makes it look like the eyes of a giant dragon staring at the world.

At the highest point of the building complex, which is distributed in a concentric circle-like manner, the towering surrounding columns cast a huge, swaying shadow in the dark underwater environment, and faintly emerging from the shadow is the majestic and noble shape of a dragon.

Its body length was not much different from the navy blue dragon servant that had sprung out of the water before, but the color of its skin scales was darker, looking like navy blue that was closer to black than navy blue. Its originally broad membranous wings curled up on the dragon's back, its limbs were agile and its tail was swaying, beating the alchemical formation formed by the water flow in a certain rhythm.

Looking closely, one could see that the "center" of the alchemy array was filled with a curved spear, which looked exactly like "Kungunir".

This giant dragon is the real body of Leviathan, and the spear is the Nibelungen "key" or control that Odin gave to Leviathan.

This spear, a replica of the Spear of Destiny, served as a hub, activating the alchemical array arranged in the entire building complex. Leviathan used it to operate the "Zero Elevated Nibelungen" and the spatial connection between the other Nibelungen, especially his own Nibelungen, and this ocean.

It is also because of this that a large area of Highway 0 was submerged by the sudden marine environment.

"Not even close... It seems that controlling the Nibelung as a non-owner is still very difficult, even if I personally use all my strength."

Leviathan's dragon body uttered words that sounded like a sigh.

In fact, the control array that Odin gave him was only as big as this square. As for the alchemical matrix combination constructed by the water flow inside the large building complex here, it only played a role of amplifying the effect on this basis.

Rumor has it that Master Flamel, the chief alchemist and vice-president of Kassel Academy, has also set up an alchemical super-matrix in the basement of the academy. Its function is to amplify the scope of his own "discipline" to cover the entire academy.

Although the alchemical array set up by Leviathan and Odin has the same function of amplification, the effects of the two arrays arranged by humans and dragons are incomparable, and the difference is huge - here the effect of "space opening" level is amplified to a level high enough to connect the entire Nibelungen.

This is an operation that cannot even be thought of in the minds of those secret party members who claim to know the most about dragons.

however……

Miscalculated, Leviathan thought.

His original plan was to open up an alchemical matrix through the space here and transport all the reinforcements from other distant Nibelungen to the Zero Elevated Road at once.

When the arrangements are complete, we will wipe out all the forces and chess players that are against the Medical Association.

But those sudden accidents that happened one after another disrupted his plans and made him extremely annoyed!

The first two humans appeared near Nibelungen. The cargo they were holding was suspected to be the "Eggs of the Black King", which caught his attention.

After a brief consideration, Leviathan felt that the two humans posed no threat, so he led them into Nibelungen and let "White Whale" deal with them tentatively.

But what followed was the red-haired man and woman who made him feel unlucky.

The man was naturally Emiya, an old rival who had fought against Leviathan's humanoid puppet. That damn red-haired girl even had Odin's mark on her body, and she was able to bring another person in here without Leviathan's permission.

If Odin was in this Nibelungen, he could have prevented Nono from finding the entrance, but now Odin is not here and is still waiting for resurrection.

So the controller had to be changed to Leviathan, but his control over Odin's Nibelungen was not so precise.

Under such circumstances, Leviathan was unable to extricate himself, so he had to hastily order "White Whale" to deal with the two more troublesome men and women, and later sent "Kraken" and "Hydra".

However, just when Leviathan was overwhelmed and confused, new troubles arose. Norton and Jörmungandr actually followed the couple and came in.

It turned out that the man and woman in front were just a pair of vanguards. And that damn, despicable Norton had even found a new fellow, Jörmungandr!

Leviathan secretly hated him. He should have known that as a chess player who had been hiding behind the scenes and successfully plotted against Odin, Norton's style of doing things would inevitably be so insidious and difficult to guard against. All of this must be related to him! Leviathan was filled with resentment and anger. It could be said that he was so angry that he was about to explode. The situation he had planned was about to collapse, and the cause of this collapse was nothing more than this little time difference.

If they had entered Nibelungen a little later, their situation would have been much better! It was all Norton's fault!
"Woo——"

Amid the gurgling water, whale songs suddenly echoed in the humid air within the water film of the huge square. However, the whale songs were no longer high-pitched, but low and mournful, as if they were conveying condolences to some of their own kind.

Leviathan looked at the outside of the square, and saw a white sperm whale as big as a mountain swimming over. The wound on the whale's body was still clearly visible, but at least the bleeding had stopped. Moreover, even if it hadn't recovered, no fish dared to come and eat the dragon blood flowing out of the white whale in the area where Leviathan appeared.

"What did you say!"

Leviathan's attention was drawn to the whale song. He obviously understood the content of the communication sent by the white whale through the whale song. "The dragon servant I sent out was also hunted by an unknown opponent?"

The calls of the white whale sounded panic and uneasy.

For many years, it has been carefree because of the noble dragon blood and spirit of words bestowed on it by the King of Water. It has almost no natural enemies or hunters of the same level in the ocean. Thanks to this, it commands a large number of whale groups in the Greenland Sea, like the king among the whales.

The only ones who can be called opponents are "Kraken" and "Hydra", who were also chosen by Water King.

But today, subversive encounters occurred one after another - it was first injured by a red-haired human with a strange metal object, and then it witnessed from afar in the sea that the usually smart and cunning Kraken was easily hunted and killed by a small creature that dived into the water.

The white whale's instinctive perception was not dull. The feeling that the small creature gave it, the pure characteristics of dragon blood, was exactly the same as that of its monarch. In other words, it was the same species as the monarch!
And now even the "personal guards" under the monarch could be killed by that creature... The White Whale became anxious and panicked. Its simple thinking was not enough to find any coping strategies, and the only thing the White Whale would do was to hastily report to the Water King Leviathan.

"The only people who can hunt down my dragon servant head-on... judging from the description, only my brothers and sisters can do it."

Leviathan was puzzled. They were of the same first generation species, but not Jörmungandr and Norton... Leviathan knew that Norton and the other two were still at the other end of the viaduct, blocking him from opening up space and transferring support from other Nibelungs.

So, why did a first-generation species suddenly appear? Who is it?

He didn't even realize that this person had invaded Nibelung without anyone noticing.

But now the bleak situation has been exposed, Leviathan must make a choice, otherwise if this situation continues, he will be the next to be hunted. Leviathan believes that his brothers and sisters will not mind being ruthless and adding insult to injury.

Faced with an impending crisis, humans might try to compromise and make peace, but as the Dragon King, he would not retreat even a little bit.

Thinking of this, Leviathan thought of his brother Odin, who seemed to be living more and more like a human.

In order to hatch the huge dragon body, Leviathan was the last of the four monarchs to awaken. Several years ago, Odin successfully awakened him from the Greenland Sea, signed a blood covenant with him, and promised a "new era".

Odin promised Leviathan that in that new era, the destined "Ragnarok" would be a history that had been successfully overcome.

Afterwards, Odin will share this world with Leviathan, transforming the Medical Society into a giant power organization that stands in the open, manipulating the entire world to dance around them.

Leviathan, who had just awakened at that time, was unaware of the situation. He initially mocked Odin for lowering himself to cooperate with humans, handing over alchemy to combine it with human technology, and researching ways to give birth to pure-blooded dragon seed heirs. As a result, part of his power was divided among his offspring.

However, Odin told himself seriously that only by doing so could humans let down their guard.

Odin is the Dragon King, but he wants a son and wants to expand his family. Such a contrasting impression makes humans feel that the Dragon King is not malicious, because humans can judge that the Dragon King has the same rich emotions and worldly desires as humans... The Dragon King also has the same weaknesses as humans.

At that time, Leviathan wondered why it had to be this way...

Seeing this, Odin sighed that humans have changed a lot from the past. Today is different from the past. Their technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and their nuclear technology is enough to amaze the Dragon King. They are not as easy to deal with as before. It will not work to use force and old tricks against them now.

Leviathan then followed Odin to thoroughly understand this era. He was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to join the Medical Society and Odin's plan.

He asked Odin to make a puppet and a mask that carries his power and consciousness, and appeared in front of the Medical Association in the form of a human who never shows his face.

The only drawback is that Leviathan cannot act as human-like and lifelike as Odin. Perhaps only the youngest sister Jörmungandr can do so naturally.

Therefore, he has been indifferent for many years and has been alienated from other members of the Medical Society. He only took over the affairs of the Medical Society reluctantly in order to jointly welcome the new era promised by Odin.

"Odin... I won't be willing if I don't see the new era you mentioned."

Leviathan recalled all this, laughed at himself, and gave up hiding here to maintain these alchemy arrays. He had to fight back himself.

"After all, I bet everything there."

The sea began to surge and the waves became raging.
