Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 481 A Subtle Encounter Across Time and Space

"Only by creating one's own laws and perfecting one's own system of laws can one have the opportunity to step into the true pinnacle of the universe and become the most powerful legendary destiny level."

Although the Zerg Queen was only tall enough to reach the chin of Charon, who had transformed into a majestic dragon-man, her unparalleled domineering aura made her even more elegant than the True Dragon Emperor, who was now in his dragon-man form, shining as brightly as the sun and moon.

Both possess an absolute egalitarian will that regards all living beings as mere straw dogs. However, unlike the True Dragon Emperor, this Zerg Queen truly treats all other beings in the world as ants that can be crushed at will.

Even the barely concealed anger on the faces of the two legendary chosen ones, Tokam and Yareira, and the discontent of the numerous legendary powerhouses in the starry sky who were being treated as nothing, were not worth a second glance from this Zerg Queen.

The Zerg Queen looked directly into Charon Goggmora's eyes and slowly said, "Just as there are different levels on the path to godhood, no matter how powerful a god is, if they want to ascend to the level of Great Godhood, the cosmic stock of their divine authority must reach a certain level and significance."

"Even the sun, which seems to be omnipresent and all-illuminating in the universe, while powerful enough to support a god with great strength, does not have the potential to rise to a great status in its own domain."

"It's not just because the weight of imagery related to the sun, such as light and dawn, is divided and divided among the divine authority of many deities, but also because the relevant deities are merely controllers of the existing stock represented by these imagery, not complete owners,"

"Even a god with great divine power can be stripped of his authority and status by someone even more powerful."

"The laws created by a true legendary destiny are inherently its supreme controllers; no one can shake its authority unless they are annihilated by an even greater force,"

"Even so, the authority of the legendary destiny will be completely integrated into the underlying laws of the universe, becoming a part of the universe's existence. Even powerful gods who want to possess such authority must reclaim it."

Kalon frowned slightly, the fine scales between his brows revealing his understanding of what the Zerg Queen meant.

"You mean, in the world of Lipunos, it will be difficult for us to compete for dominance, and he will have an absolute advantage?"

The Zerg Queen nodded slightly and said calmly, "Lipnos is not like these pieces of trash."

"These seemingly worthless individuals, though they too have risen to the legendary realm, all based their advancements on laws that already existed in the universe; they simply transformed those laws into their own cognition and understanding."

"Therefore, no matter how powerful they are, they can never completely control everything,"

“Like those two guys,”

The proud empress slightly nodded her white chin, causing Caron's gaze to involuntarily drift towards the legendary Destiny Tokam and Yareira, who were glaring angrily at her.

"They have probably all independently perfected their own logical systems of understanding the laws, and before they have reached the end of the legendary realm, they have attempted to advance to the legendary destiny based on the material world."

"Compared to Lypnos, they are like children with only half a torso and no limbs. Although they may grow into adults, they will always look like this. Once their path to ascension and promotion is determined, it cannot be changed."

"And Lipnos, on the other hand, is a perfectly healthy baby, about to grow into adulthood! He is the most orthodox legendary Destiny level!"

"They can fully utilize their own laws within their respective worlds, empowered by the power of the world,"

“But Lipnos can use his own power of law to call upon almost all the laws of the entire material world. Although he cannot have complete control like his Law of Destiny, once we step into this plane, we are almost facing a creator!”

Caron's expression turned slightly serious as he asked, "While I knew there were differences even among legendary destinies, I didn't expect the differences to be so vast."

"It is said that Her Majesty the Queen once had a conflict with Lipnos. Is she aware of some of Lipnos's shortcomings?"

The Queen took two steps into the air, moving closer to Charon, her upturned nose slightly furrowing.

Then, he extended his long index finger and pointed to the rings of stars that encircled the outer barrier of the Lipunos plane, slowly rotating around the entire plane.

"I was suppressing the Law Transformation of another legendary Chosen One when Lipnos secretly came knocking on my door. He ambushed me and severely injured me. There wasn't much of a confrontation. That time, even the Lunar Control Ring that I used to extract the moon's energy and control its orbit in my Zerg world was stolen by Lipnos."

"This has also resulted in many of the Zerg bloodlines under my rule not receiving Zerg energy, which has severely affected their reproduction and survival."

"Among the rings beyond the barriers of this material world is my Zerg's lunar ring,"

The Queen raised her head, her long hair blowing in front of Charon's chin, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Although I don't know Lipnos's weaknesses, I know that Lipnos is far stronger than he appears. Perhaps he has changed his strategy now and is intentionally attracting many legends into his world. What do you think this plane is like?"

Charon's round, humanoid pupils suddenly contracted, becoming the vertical pupils unique to dragons.

The dark golden vertical pupil emitted a foot-long beam of spiritual light, almost taking in the entire vast material plane.

"The World Globe? This is... the legendary artifact of Lyponos?" Charon exhaled slowly and asked.

The Zerg Queen's nostrils twitched slightly, and an approving look appeared on her expressionless face.

"Yes and no. The key magical device within the star ring and the world is the true form of the legendary artifact of Lypunos, while the entire material plane is the domain where the legendary artifact of Lypunos defines its laws."

“I explored the world before, and I know that I alone cannot defeat Lipnos. Even if I were to use all of my Zerg army, my chances of winning would be no more than five out of ten.”

"Therefore, this time, I will maintain a gap in the passage to this material plane world from the outside, preventing Lipunos from achieving perfect control over his world,"

“My advice is, you shouldn’t have too much faith in those legends’ abilities. In this world, only those two are qualified to cooperate with you. You should have them destroy Lipnos’s magical devices as quickly as possible.”

"I can only join the battle at the most critical moment and kill Lipnos in the shortest time."

When the word "kill" was mentioned, a hint of excitement suddenly flashed in the Zerg Queen's expressionless, mysterious, and deep eyes, as if it had triggered her excitement.

"As for Lipunos's magical devices, they are those mage towers that stand in the city and are protected by the native races of this world. You should not have difficulty finding their exact locations."

Kalon nodded and smiled, standing tall and overlooking the entire plane. He smiled slightly and said, "Mage Towers, huh? I think the exact locations of these things should already be under the Empire's control."

"In that case, let's do it!"

Both sides had reasons and necessities to take action against Lipnos, so even after only a brief verbal exchange, the supreme rulers of the two civilizations had reached a temporary cooperation agreement.

The Empress paused slightly, seemingly surprised that the True Dragon Emperor before her was even more decisive than herself, before saying, "With only my Zerg army, maintaining the breach in the world that has been opened is somewhat difficult."

"But only with your well-organized astral fleet assisting my Zerg legions can we be absolutely certain of victory!"

"Then do it this way!"

Charon turned and strode toward the Empire's camp. With the abilities of the various commanders of the Golden Empire, cooperating with the Zerg Queen's strategy would not be difficult. However, Charon also needed to let the Empire's legions know what it meant to advance when necessary and retreat when necessary.

boom!
An earth-shattering will, accompanied by a powerful aura, soared into the sky, stirring up the starry sky and manifesting in the world. Infinite elemental magic formed a storm tornado above the head of the insect queen, instantly spreading to a radius of thousands of miles and covering the starry sky.

That meteorite island, stretching for thousands of miles and inhabited by countless insectoid legions, suddenly transformed into a gigantic insectoid warship, sailing towards the Empress who stood tall in the starry sky.

Kalon turned around and saw countless Zerg legions dispersing on the biological warship, forming a bizarre formation behind the Zerg Queen. From a distance, they looked like huge, twisted runes, radiating spatial energy fluctuations outwards.

Countless Zerg legions raised their heads and hissed, their ant-like heads radiating invisible waves of power from the antennae that grew on them.

These power fluctuations, similar to psionic and psychic powers, all converged into the seemingly diminutive Zerg Queen's body, causing her aura to rise steadily, almost touching the stars in the sky and making them tremble.

This aura far surpassed that of the legendary Destiny Yoga Luo when he unleashed his full power, and was so terrifying that it caused all the legends present to change color.

Rumble,
In the next instant, the enormous biological warship suddenly transformed amidst the violent fluctuations in space, shrinking from a colossal body to a spiked warhammer that fell into the hands of the Zerg Queen, who then slammed it down onto the Lyponos plane beneath her feet.

The entire cosmos seemed to fall suddenly, and the vast material planes were rapidly sinking in the sight of numerous legends.

It wasn't that the Empress actually caused the entire material plane to sink; rather, the overwhelming power and overwhelming will caused a brief imbalance in the perceptions of the other legendary powerhouses. The entire barrier of the Lipunos plane suddenly caved in under the Empress's hammer, and then abruptly rebounded.

Crackling sounds echoed across the starry sky, and fine cracks began to appear on the enormous, wide star rings, some tens of miles long.

……

"Pooh,"

Knight Gao Tuo, with a blade of grass in his mouth, squatted on the cliff, overlooking the surrounding area.

At the foot of this cliff was once a huge city, inhabited by millions of indigenous people, and it was once considered prosperous.

But now, on this vast plain, there is no trace of the former megacity; everywhere is dust and ruins crushed by immense force.

The entire vast plain was also plowed into deep ravines stretching for thousands of miles by immense power.

Only the dark red soil and ruins in those corners can prove that many lives once existed in this place.

Knight Goto gazed ahead, awaiting the return of his companions.

Although the world of Liponos is vast and boundless, surpassing the world of Ekania by several times, the battle marks of many legendary powerhouses still leave this world scarred in many places.

The once towering mountains and ridges have become flat land, rivers, lakes and seas have dried up everywhere, and deep abysses lie across the land.

These Astral Hunters, acting as traitors, have successfully helped the Silver Dragon Chris Tiana and the Imperial vanguard squad avoid several crises.

However, as the Astral Hunters' activities became more frequent, these hunters also aroused the vigilance of other legendary figures, and thus these hunters are now often spied on and monitored by other legends.

Fortunately, the true dragon emperor of the Golden Empire and the imperial army should have already arrived in this starry sky, which made these hunters with dark circles under their eyes breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ok?"

Knight Gao Tuo suddenly frowned and looked to his right.

Twelve legendary powerhouses arrived together. The spells that shimmered in the void seemed to come instinctively to these powerhouses. With each step they took, small magic arrays appeared beneath their feet, and they instantly traversed hundreds of miles to reach the knight Gao Tuo.

Although these twelve legendary warriors were incredibly powerful, Knight Goto wasn't particularly afraid. His only concern was that his companion, Romy, the most outstanding thief and the most astute scout, was currently in the hands of these legends.

"Knight Gotto?"

A legendary warrior landed dozens of meters in front of the knight, raised his head slightly, and said arrogantly, "Tell me, where are those dragons hiding? I know they're not far from your group."

Knight Goto slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and glanced at the arrogant legendary warrior before looking at his companion Romy.

The legendary thief Romy, whose head was being dragged down and was hanging by the waist, was bleeding from his mouth and nose and didn't even have the strength to lift his head, but he was shaking his head slightly.

"puff,"

Knight Gao Tuo spat out the wild grass in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and a flash of scarlet appeared in them.

He slowly drew his longsword and said calmly, "Come out, guys, someone's trying to stop us from collecting the final payment. We have to take them out!"

Suddenly, streaks of runes lit up the entire cliff face, and members of the Astral Hunters team appeared one by one, surrounding the twelve legends.

Beneath the crisscrossing ravines, a gigantic head peeked out and looked this way, its vertical pupils radiating a dangerous aura.

"Damn it, you bastards, daring to mess with us and block our path to wealth, it seems we'll have to kill you all today!"

Legendary mage Joro cursed and swore, and the atmosphere on the field was about to explode. At this moment, the entire world of Lipunos trembled slightly, causing both sides to look up.

The sky of the world of Lyponos has cracked open.

……

"Brother, you are seriously injured!" A clear and melodious female voice rang out, but her tone was filled with deep worry.

In the ruins isolated from the present world, two blurry figures can be vaguely seen, and a dilapidated clock sways slightly behind them.

"Cough cough,"

“The Great Luo Dao Lord is not so easy to kill,”

The tall figure coughed softly, his tone deep and steady.
"My father's incarnation is a high-ranking and powerful emperor in the Nine Heavens, constantly watched by many eyes. He endured for hundreds of years before finally finding an opportunity to strike, killing not only the thirteen guardian immortals surrounding this Dao Lord seed that had condensed the Innate Time Light Dao Fruit,"

"Having just attained Dao Lord status, the rising star of the heavens, who had been kept hidden for hundreds of years and on whom high hopes were placed, was also severely injured by Father's avatar, and even his Dao Fruit was torn in two,"

"Unfortunately, although I am a Great Sage of the Heavenly Demon in the ancestral court of the demon race, it took hundreds of thousands of troops to kill a seriously injured Dao Lord, even one who had just attained the Dao Lord realm. Even the Commanding King Banner that my father gave me was damaged."

"Oh, it's all my fault for being useless and unable to help you," the woman's voice trailed off, clearly showing her disappointment.

"Ahem, what are you saying? Everyone has their own role. If it weren't for your message, we wouldn't have such a clear grasp of that Dao Lord's movements."

"Hehe, this attempt might be the key to my father and all the Dragon King uncles' true forms escaping this predicament,"

A deep male voice chuckled and said, "Infinite timelines, all timelines in every universe share the same matter, or rather, the same stock. This is why the ultimate and pinnacle that can be born in each universe is always finite."

"Only something as miraculous as the Innate Time Light Dao Fruit, which is half a level higher than the essence of the Time Dragon, can attempt to interfere with the past and future without disturbing any existing resources or incurring any cost."

"If Dad's plan succeeds, you'll be the one who makes the greatest contribution this time!"

"I don't care about any merits. I just want to go home and see what the empire used to look like." The woman said softly.

The tall figure paused for a moment before speaking, "It's coming soon. No one can stop Father. The empire's return is just around the corner."

The tall figure patted the short figure's head and said, "I need to hurry back to clean up the mess and suppress my injuries to avoid giving myself away."

"You stay here and guard the area. The Imperial Legion will set up a hidden, inverted space. If those time travelers are lucky enough to return, you must kill them all without telling that woman, destroy the evidence, and leave no trace."

"Especially that dragon, who actually wanted to betray me, I had no choice but to give him this great opportunity."

The woman hesitated slightly, "Did you kill everyone except that woman?"

"Hmm? Have you become so weak after being away from the Empire for so long?" The deep male voice was somewhat dissatisfied, but the tone remained gentle.

"No, brother,"

The woman whispered, "Why not just kill them all, so we don't have to worry about leaving any trace?"

The man laughed out loud, "We can't kill her! We can't kill her! That woman has powerful backing, a really powerful backing!"
