Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 496 Lucky Man

"If we follow the information we have received, and according to the predictions of the Imperial Think Tank, the infinite material world will inevitably become a battlefield for all living beings in the future,"

Rosani, the black dragon, had deep eyes. The bestial nature of dragons and the chaotic poison in their bloodline had long been completely controlled by this dragon king. Like most of the great dragons in the Gorgmora dragonflight, this had been transformed into the unique power that this black dragon was born with.

"The infinite astral plane is the domain of the gods, but the infinite material realm may very well become the domain of empires and dragons!"

The ancestral golden dragon Obirash lay beside the black dragon Rosani, appearing extremely relaxed.

Its long, golden tail slapped against the cliff face, ancient dragon runes and magical inscriptions intertwining to create lightning and fire flowing beneath its scales. With each slap, an invisible halo rippled outwards, making it look like a perfectly crafted work of art.

Obirash loved the atmosphere of the Goggmora dragonflight, which was unlike any other dragonflight or family.

When these young dragon kings and great dragons spend time together, they talk about their hobbies, pursuits, and paths, as well as the future of the empire, the Gorgmora dragonflight, and even all dragon races.

This is probably a common trait among all male intelligent beings in the world, but among dragon races, only the Gorgmora dragons have this as a daily occurrence.

However, among the Goggmora dragonflight, such matters are not distinguished by gender. At least, the gold dragon Obirash would find it difficult to argue with the long-reigning bronze dragon queen Alina in this regard.

Of course, Obirash couldn't compete with Kleinaya and Antajena, since these two female dragons would threaten to beat Obirash up whenever they lost the argument.

Obirash wasn't afraid of the two female dragons, but he also learned some of the essence of being a ruthless tyrant from the black dragon Rosani—a good male dragon doesn't fight with female dragons!
"Hehe, if the Empire occupies the material world and becomes the dominant civilization that rules over all dragons, even if infinite universe civilizations collide in the future, the Empire may still be able to stand out from the crowd!"

Obirash bared his long fangs and said, "It's a pity that old dog Lipunos disrupted the dragons' original plan. If it weren't for his obstruction, the Empire would have already unified all the dragons in the world of Ekania."

"After decades of subtle cultural expansion, the new generation of dragons in the Southern Good Dragon Alliance, although still influenced by their bloodline, do not harbor excessive hostility towards the Empire. This is already an extremely good foundation for rule!"

Rosani, the black dragon, shook his head. Four enormous black horns grew from the back of his head, representing the power over poisonous fire and earth that this ancestral black dragon had controlled.

Whenever the ancestral black dragon's mind wavers, the magical aura behind its head will faintly flicker, creating a beautiful contrast between holiness and malevolent ferocity.

"Every loss has its gain. Although we were forced to interrupt our plan to conquer and assimilate all the dragons of the Southern Good Dragon Alliance, our trip to the world of Lipunos has provided us with the greatest convenience to extend our reach into other material planes in the future."

"Kalon often said that before absolute violence can shape the mainstream order, then the Empire and the Dragonkin must learn the philosophies of how human nations coexist."

"Win over the most neutral and achievable faction, and attack the most staunchly opposed faction. The more friends you have, the easier it will be to defeat the enemy!"

The black dragon licked its fangs, revealing a sinister grin. "Although the Lipunos Grand Alliance appears loosely organized, lacking a specific leader and relying on mutual consultation for communication,"

"But as long as we share common interests, the Empire will have more room to maneuver in integrating the dragons when it enters the material world of the Alliance members, rather than being resented and opposed by the whole world."

"As for the dragons in the world of Ekania, they will eventually be brought under the control of the Empire's order, so there is no need to rush it."

Obirash blinked, his golden pupils widening slightly, indicating a hint of excitement in the heart of this ancestral golden dragon.

Although Obirash and the other dragons in the Goggmora can fight together on the battlefield, even entrusting their backs to their comrades and companions, it is due to the cohesive power of civilization and the unity of the Goggmora.

However, the relationship between the Obilash dragon and the other dragon kings was not particularly close; only the black dragon Rosani could be considered a good friend to this golden dragon.

Perhaps this ancestral golden dragon is now beginning to find the strong and fierce centaur female warriors in the empire particularly attractive, which is the common ground that allows this golden dragon and the black dragon to become friends.

"The Southern Good Dragon Alliance, huh?"

Obilash bared his fangs and let out a cold laugh, a sneer of contempt and disdain from one order to another.

"A bunch of cowardly, infighting reptiles. When I take command of these metal dragons, I will definitely reform them thoroughly to prevent them from tarnishing my reputation!"

Within the Gogmora dragon horde, there was already a tacit understanding regarding the plan to incorporate the dragons of the Ekania world. The ancestral golden dragon Obirash was destined to become the vanguard commander of the empire, and only by being of noble birth among the metal dragons could some additional interference and influence be minimized.

If the five-colored dragons were to conquer the metal dragons of the south, even Charon wouldn't know whether Bahamut, the platinum dragon king who hadn't shown any interest for countless years, would once again unleash his will.

"This is the right thing to do,"

Rosani, the black dragon, nodded and said, "It's a pity that the ancient silver dragon Iris is going to become the inspector stationed in the base city in this world. Otherwise, with the power of the ancient silver dragon, the resistance of the Southern Good Dragon Alliance would probably be much less."

Obirash's tail stopped, and its massive claws stroked its chin as it chuckled thoughtfully, "Perhaps this ancient silver dragon simply didn't want to do this, which is why it volunteered to become the garrison inspector here."

"Although we can't find fault with the reasons and excuses given by this ancient silver dragon, and it's for accumulating wealth for the future path of becoming a god-like dragon, we are not like those wild dragons that can be fooled!"

"It doesn't matter. The expansion of the empire will inevitably lead to the existence of countless beings with different intentions. Only by seeking common ground while reserving differences can we move our goals forward!"

Rosani, the black dragon, looked at the banner that was rising high in the deep valley in the distance, and the excited roars coming from several frost salt giants. His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Let's go. We've found the coordinates for the demiplane link to Lipunos. Hopefully, this guy's treasure won't disappoint us."

"Not only does Kalon's Dragon Treasure require a large amount of rare mineral deposits, but I also want to see if there are better materials to forge my Dragon Treasure!"

With a whoosh, the enormous black dragon, whose body was even stronger than Obilash, spread its huge black wings, as if a black cloud had suddenly risen from the cliff and covered the earth.

Obirash's golden vertical pupils widened slightly, and he roared with excitement, "A dragon's treasure, huh? I'm also looking forward to the moment we successfully forge it!"

"Imperial power is entirely in our grasp. Under the dragon's treasure, all dragons in the material world are subjugated. I will make all dragons in the world bow down to the imperial might!"

Obilash also pounced down, like a golden cloud cascading down and falling into the distant valley, crushing the pebbles beneath his feet.

Each ancestral dragon that has reverted to its ancestral form possesses different power characteristics.

Just like the immense power of the bloodline of Karon Gogmora, the Dragon Emperor, it is related to his cognition, wisdom, and everything else, and is also connected to his status and position as a Dragon Emperor.

That's why Charon Gogmora possesses such terrifying power, a power far beyond what a newly born first-generation dragon could achieve.

Power comes from wisdom, and the mind triumphs over material things; this is the motto that must be inscribed in the Golgmora dragonflight before one can obtain the proof of a dragon.

In contrast, much of the profound magical knowledge and spells inherited from the dragon bloodline have now become knowledge for the dragon lords of the Golgrimora to refer to, rather than something they rely on. These dragon lords are all creating spells and powers that suit their own great nature through their own spiritual guidance.

As the Dragon King of the Empire, Rosani, the Black Dragon, has ruled the Black Dragon Clan for a long time. Therefore, his power carries the characteristics of this Black Dragon King, possessing great authority and majesty.

Rossani is both the king who controls the earth and the monarch who manipulates poisonous fire. The pulse of the entire earth is easily controlled by the claws of this crouching black dragon.

With the deep roar of the black dragon, the entire valley trembled briefly, splitting open a huge, deep ravine. Countless soft soil and gravel were easily kneaded by the black dragon into fixed shapes, turning into solid steps that led downwards, their depths unknown.

As the ancestral golden dragon made a slight movement of its claws, a surge of electric fire gathered countless elemental magical powers from the air, transforming them into enormous lanterns that hung down the long staircase.

The lanterns, imbued with the aura of the Imperial Dragon King, not only dispel the darkness of magic but also serve as punctuation marks to guide lost minds, preventing them from being influenced by any potential spiritual magic.

Behind the two towering dragon kings, on the cliffs, giants began to blow their magic horns.

As the horns sounded, the giant warriors who had been walking through the mountains and fields gathered at the center point. Many mages who had been floating in the sky also descended and began to set up a concealment array that covered the entire deep valley.

Meanwhile, squads of golems began to revive and activate within the encampment, stepping out of the camp one after another.

Halfway up a solitary cliff, there is an extremely secluded cave.

The cave is surrounded by dense ancient vines and lush greenery, making it difficult for even a giant dragon soaring through the sky to discover this hidden cave unless it is specifically searching for something.

Moreover, Ted also used the powder of phantom mushrooms and ghost grass to make magic potions, using them as a medium to enhance his phantom magic. Even if a real dragon stood in front of him, Ted was somewhat confident that he could hide it from those 'foolish and arrogant' dragons.

Because Ted is the chosen one of the Skull Clan, a divine child born from beyond the heavens!
The great task that should have been accomplished by Ted was to unify all the Skullborne people and liberate them from the clutches of Lyponus, the god who occupied the entire world and enslaved all living beings.

From this point on, a prosperous and great civilization will be established, and Ted will become the first emperor of this world, wielding godlike power and becoming a true god who unites politics and religion.

Oh, of course, this is just Ted's fantasy. In fact, Ted was not a remarkable person in the first ten years of his life.

Even among young male members of the Protruding Head tribe, they were not considered very useful.

However, ever since the memories of Ted's 'past life' awakened in his soul, Ted has begun to achieve some success in this region.

He rose from an ordinary warrior to one of the most promising warriors in the main city to reach the Holy Realm, simply because Ted took only two years to step from an ordinary warrior into the extraordinary realm and become a level nine warrior.

Unfortunately, before Ted could realize his potential and gradually climb the ladder of his great achievements, the whole world underwent earth-shattering changes.

The long-calmed chaos has been stirred up again, and it is a thousand times more terrifying than before.

Not only did countless members of the Skull Tribe die and cities be destroyed, but even the supreme god Lyponus, who ruled over the entire world, was brutally killed by an invading evil dragon demon.

This not only terrified all the members of the Skull Clan, leaving them in a state of constant fear, but even Ted, who possessed secret methods, was not immune to unease.

Fortunately, Ted possessed an extraordinary mindset and never lost heart in the face of crisis. Instead, he continued to use the gifts that came with his soul to snatch chestnuts from the fire and strengthen his power.

Coming from beyond the heavens, the evil dragon demon god Lypnos, who controlled the entire world, shed much blood during the battle, which spread across several continents of the Lypnos world.

Although the blood of many evil dragons and demons was destroyed by terrifying power, there was a "small amount" of dragon blood remaining in the continent where Ted was located.

Guided by the magic, Ted found a lake formed from the blood of an evil dragon god that had splashed in the distant mountains. He then used a magical ritual to extract the essence from the lake to strengthen himself.

This also allowed Ted to gain an invincible body that was impervious to blades and spears after his body was cleansed by dragon blood. Even powerful supernatural weapons, as long as they were made of metal, could hardly scratch Ted's oily skin.

Ted even tried dripping the remaining dragon blood essence onto his lips, and unexpectedly gained the ability to talk to many wild creatures.

This fueled Ted's adventurous spirit, which led him to follow the guidance here, hoping to find an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

But even Ted, whose strength had greatly increased, felt a bit of a headache at the sight before him.

"Hiss, there are a few hill giants in this world, but they are the weakest of all giants. Judging from the energy level challenge difficulty detected, a normal hill giant is around level three. I can take on ten with one hand."

Ted grinned, thinking to himself, "If the hill giants can advance to the ranks of true giants, then their strength level should be around level five, and I won't be afraid of them at all."

"But why are these alien giants so strange? Even the weakest hill giants have an average challenge level of twelve,"

"And they're all elites from the ranks of true giants, how am I supposed to handle this?"

Ted's gaze swept over the other giants in the distance. Each giant's strength level far exceeded Ted's. Most importantly, these powerful giants were born stronger than most races. In Ted's view, they were at least elite models.

"They also told me to kill those dragons. Just killing one of them would grant me the power to slay dragons, a power that would suppress most dragons."

"If we can kill that evil dragon demon god, we can obtain the legendary Dragon Extermination Manifestation, which grants us the power to subdue any type of dragon, and even transform into a world-destroying demon dragon,"

Ted scratched his head. "This power is strong, but you have to actually get your hands on it. I don't even dare to easily investigate the strength level of those two giant dragons, let alone the evil dragons and demon gods that can kill gods."

"As expected, this kind of ultimate mission is just something I can dream about right now. Someone like me would probably be dead if that being even gave me a glare!"

Ted withdrew his head, just as he was about to concentrate on exploring his secret, when suddenly goosebumps rose all over his body, and an extremely terrifying danger sounded an alarm in his mind.

"Wow, this looks pretty high-end, a semi-customized version,"

"But you don't seem to have much potential, that's strange!"

A strange, eerie voice came from above the cave. Ted stopped breathing, and his probing power displayed a bright line of text in his mental sea.

Name:? ? ?
Challenge Level: 18 -- ? ? ?

Ted's vision went black, and he lost consciousness instantly before he could even see what the other person looked like.
