Defeat the entire world with the power of one dragon!

Chapter 541 Exploding Gas State, Green Queen

In the lifeless, desolate space, tranquility is the dominant theme.

Boom!

A burst of dazzling light and heat suddenly erupted, and in an instant, the entire sky and earth trembled.

The light swept outwards like a tidal wave, distorting the air and trembling the space in its wake. As time passed and the intense flames gradually subsided, the figure of the red iron dragon standing in the sky finally appeared.

"This move still requires too much preparation time."

"Moreover, even if one becomes proficient, it is unlikely to significantly shorten the preparation time."

Galos hovered high in the sky, its three heads lowering slightly as it examined its masterpiece.

The essence of the Dragon Emperor's Other Dimension is to add the power of destroying dragon breath to the Dragon Energy Ball, and to fuse the two together to achieve an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

The principle is not complicated, and it is not difficult to put into practice.

The key is the scale.

To achieve the power to cleave the abyss rifts in one strike, and to unleash power far exceeding one's own limits, a long period of preparation is necessary.

He needs to gather all the massive dragon energy and dragon breath little by little into this attack, allowing them to merge under his guidance and ultimately form a power capable of destroying everything.

Otherwise, Garos could have casually tossed the Dragon Energy Bomb out like a pebble.

However, that level of destruction certainly wouldn't achieve the level of damage he wanted.

The reason why the Dragon Emperor's Other Dimension is so powerful is because the energy contained in Garos's body is too vast.

Even if other creatures burned themselves out, it would be difficult to achieve the same effect as Garus. This is a fundamental difference that cannot be made up for by skill.

"However, it's not entirely hopeless."

"If I could master the technique of instantly condensing and compressing most of the energy in my body, I might be able to unleash the Dragon Emperor's Dimension in a very short time, and then integrate this move into my combat system, rather than just a deterrent skill that can only strike fixed targets."

"In that case, I'll have one more trump card in the real battle."

Galos pondered to himself.

"Moreover, I already have similar skills."

This wasn't the first time he'd thought about this.

The combat states that Garos developed, such as the Frenzy State, Blood Explosion State, and Crimson Lotus State, not only amplified his attributes but also made his body more excited and sensitive, causing dragon energy and various other energies to circulate at a faster speed.

However, these states are mainly for enhancing physical attributes.

The enhancement in terms of energy is merely incidental.

"I should develop a combat state specifically designed to enhance energy."

Garros pondered, “A pure state of specialization in energy control allows the dragon energy to circulate within my body at an extraordinary speed, mobilizing every bit of energy for my use.”

"Hmm, it's time to put my super wisdom to use."

Immediately, he maintained his three-headed state, the expression on his dragon face gradually calmed down, and a dazzling psionic light shone in his eyes, revealing a thoughtful look.

Brainstorming.

This skill, derived from the mind, allows Garus to think more meticulously and quickly.

At the same time, the awakening of his Star Self gave his Dragon Qi constructs inherent characteristics, thus allowing his thinking speed to double again in the Three-Headed state.

Sparks of thought kept flying and bursting forth.

This is not a description.

Flames erupted directly on the red iron dragon's heads, followed by bursts of lightning that crackled and popped, causing the air around its heads to distort slightly, resembling rings of light.

He made no movement, only slightly closed his eyes, hovering quietly high in the sky.

It floats in the air, resembling a sacred dragon sculpture.

The wind blew across his body, brushing against his scales, making a soft whistling sound. Occasionally, clouds drifted by in the distance, casting flowing shadows in his wake.

But he was completely unaware of this, his entire attention absorbed in his own world of thoughts.

Time passed by at a leisurely pace.

Countless thoughts and ideas flashed through Galos's mind.

They intertwine, collide, and merge... like an invisible war, where useless or infeasible ideas are eliminated one by one, while feasible ones are categorized and organized, gradually forming a solution that is most likely to be realized.

call……

Red Iron Dragon slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

At the same time, the psionic light in his eyes gradually faded, and the flames and lightning on the dragon's head slowly subsided. Maintaining a mental storm for so long made him feel tired, but this fatigue was worthwhile.

"Explode!"

"Imitating the mechanism of the Blood Explosion state, instantly unleashing dragon energy, is currently the most feasible method."

He whispered.

The brainstorming session just now must have taken a toll on Galos.

This skill for thinking was the first one he developed in the past few decades. It doesn't offer much benefit in combat and consumes a lot of mental energy, but it is very effective.

For example, the Dragon Emperor's Other Dimension was an idea he came up with during a brainstorming session.

For example, this time.

hum!
A dense dragon aura emanated from the red iron dragon, enveloping his body like mist.

Explosion!

Hong Tielong gave a low shout, his mind highly focused.

The dragon aura emanating from him froze for a moment, as if the entire world had been put on pause.

Then, in the next second, as if adding fuel to the fire, all the dragon energy burst into flames and surged upwards, enveloping his entire body.

Dragon energy transforming into flames is a skill that Garos already possessed.

But this time, it's completely different from before.

The aura surrounding him now possessed an even stronger sense of power than before.

They became highly concentrated, no longer loose and drifting like ordinary flames, but each wisp seemed to weigh a ton, and they seemed to possess life, roaring and burning.

Not only that.

Centered on Galos, visible shockwaves spread outwards, compressing and distorting the air in their path, producing a low rumble.

But his aura continued to rise, growing stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Garus looked like a living, blazing sun.

It was dazzling and magnificent, so dazzling that people dared not look directly at it.

until……

"Hmm? The dragon jade is trembling?"

Galos's gaze sharpened as he sensed the changes within his body.

His dragon jade is composed of energy that is solidified.

It is reasonable that it will be affected by the burst of energy, since the burst of energy mobilizes the energy of his whole body, and the Dragon Jade, as the energy center, will naturally participate in it.

To Galos's surprise, Dragon Jade's reaction was too intense.

It was vibrating and humming, as if it were about to explode from the inside.

"We can't continue like this."

To be on the safe side, Galos took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his still surging anger.

boom!
The already highly concentrated aura was somewhat out of control; it resisted and struggled, unwilling to be suppressed.

Finally, the violent energy exploded on its body, producing a deafening roar. The dragon groaned, and pieces of blood-stained scales flew off its body.

However, Galus was not surprised but rather delighted.

"Exploding with energy...this is a dangerous attempt."

"But there is no doubt that it has extremely high development value."

In particular, when the Dragon Jade trembled violently, Galos had a feeling.

If left unchecked, it will explode directly from the inside out.

The energy that would be enough to completely revive him would be released.

What would that look like?
He didn't know, but he could imagine.

"Does this mean I can use this energy to strengthen myself?"

Galos's breathing became heavy, and he felt invigorated.

His greatest trump card has always been resurrection, the source of his confidence to face any enemy.

But it's far from perfect, and it's already widely known.

If facing an enemy with a vastly superior strength, even if he could revive, he would only be killed repeatedly. Revival wouldn't change the outcome. However, if he could choose to convert all his revival energy into a burst amplification and decisively use it all, perhaps...

It can completely reverse the situation!

Galos calmed his mind and his breathing became even.

Regardless of whether resurrection or burst damage is more important, having more options is always better in crucial moments.

Having more cards to play increases your chances of winning.

"When it explodes, all the dragon energy seems to come alive, making it extremely difficult to control."

He pondered, "To fully develop this state, to instantly unleash a massive burst of energy, and to control the chain reaction on the Dragon Jade... it will probably take quite some time."

"However, the one thing I have in abundance is time."

Hong Tielong became focused.

He concentrated intently and then continued to develop and experiment with the explosive gas state.

Not long after.

boom!
The flames exploded uncontrollably again, leaving some new wounds on the Red Iron Dragon.

The wounds varied in depth, some so deep they exposed bone, others just shattered scales. Feeling the pain, he grinned indifferently, ready to start a new round.

Just then, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

A voice resounded in his heart.

"A legendary dragon has lurked within the royal city."

The whispers of Yseramas, the amethyst dragon, echoed softly in Garros's heart.

After the Kingdom of Aura moved its capital, the Amethyst Dragon also came to the Crimson Emperor City.

He maintained the neutrality of the Amethyst Dragon and did not directly pledge allegiance to the Kingdom of Aura. However, because he had received many benefits from Aura, he was bound by his connections and thus silently took on the responsibility of guarding the royal city.

Galos paused his movements.

The wounds on the dragon's body were healing at a visible speed; broken scales were replaced by new ones, and exposed flesh was covered. The whole process was astonishingly fast.

He asked, "What race?"

Ysera's voice rang out again: "The green dragon... her senses are very sharp; she just noticed my observation, but she seems unconcerned and continues to stroll around the royal city..."

"Wait, she ran into Felicia, and they were very close."

Felicia.

The dragon narrowed its eyes slightly.

Felicia Ignas, a descendant of Garus and Angela the Phoenix.

She is a red dragon, inheriting the qualities of burning blood from the red iron dragon.

Unfortunately, she did not inherit the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Divine Skill; otherwise, this emperor's daughter's talent would have surpassed that of the Crimson Gold Dragon Gabriel, making her his most outstanding offspring.

However, he also inherited his mother's bloodline talent.

Felicia possessed the innate skill of transforming into a fire elemental form from her dragon hatchling stage.

She can switch directly between material and elemental forms, transforming into a burning fire elemental dragon. This talent, along with her burning blood, can create a chain reaction.

Overall, her talent ranks in the upper-middle level among the emperor's sons.

While not the strongest, it is certainly not weak either.

however……

Felicia's ambition lies not in fighting, nor does she enjoy comparing herself to her other blood relatives to see who is stronger or weaker.

In terms of personality, she is nothing like a red dragon.

She doesn't love fighting, killing, or displaying power; what she loves is... dressing up, decorating, and all things sparkly and beautiful.

"Well, I see."

Galos said, "I will go and see for myself."

at the same time.

On a bustling street in the Crimson Emperor's City.

Buildings lined both sides of the street, and crowds thronged the area.

The aroma of meat wafted from the restaurants of cannibals, the sounds of hammering echoed from the alchemy shops of goblins, and merchants of various races loudly hawked their goods brought from all over the world.

Occasionally, a giant dragon would fly across the sky, casting a fleeting shadow, but the residents on the street had long been accustomed to it.

A well-built red dragon is strolling in the middle of the street.

Felicia held her head high, her steps elegant and composed.

Her scales were deep red, shimmering like a mirror in the sunlight. Each scale was smooth and translucent, with neat edges and no defects or flaws. The surface even reflected the outlines of the surrounding buildings.

Clearly, this is the result of considerable effort and care, rather than something innate.

An ordinary red dragon wouldn't care about these things, but she's different.

She spends a lot of time every day taking care of her scales to ensure they are in the best condition.

In addition, the red dragon wore several necklaces of different materials around her neck, including gold, silver, and mithril chains, with various gemstones as pendants, such as rubies, sapphires, and moonstones. Each gemstone was carefully selected, with uniform color, and swayed gently with her steps, making a soft clinking sound.

not only that.

Each of her legs was adorned with custom-made rings, and her tail was wrapped with a shawl woven from silver thread, the ends of which were draped with tassels and embellished with tiny gemstones.

Even her dragon horns were adorned with rings made of fine gold.

She was adorned with jewels and walked with an elegant gait.

Such adjectives are rarely used to describe a dragon. Dragons are more accustomed to using words like power, majesty, and might to describe themselves, but they are perfectly suited to Felicia.

Residents on both sides of the street stopped and stared at the red dragon with all sorts of eyes.

"Princess Felicia came out again today."

"Her scale armor is shinier than my floor." "Her horn rings are pure gold! My God, how much are those…?"

A goblin was counting on his fingers, but as he did so, a pained expression appeared on his face, clearly indicating that he couldn't calculate it and couldn't afford it.

"The key point is that all these decorations pale in comparison to Princess Felicia's beauty; it's hard to imagine that a dragon could be so beautiful."

A young man dressed as a bard sighed, already beginning to compose a hymn of praise in his mind.

Felicia raised her dragon-like nose slightly, taking in all the discussions.

What she loved most was listening to the praise of other creatures.

Every time she heard praises of her beauty, her adornments, and her taste, she felt delighted, and her scales seemed to shine even brighter.

Felicia slowed down and stopped in front of a stall selling mirrors, tilting her head to examine herself in the mirror.

She examined carefully whether the angles of the scales were perfect, whether the necklace was well-matched, and whether the shawl draped just right. Then she slightly adjusted a necklace around her neck to make it more centered.

The stall owner was a human, with a big smile on his face and wrinkles around his eyes.

"Your Highness looks radiant today, even more beautiful than yesterday."

He complimented her, his tone sincere and heartfelt.

Felicia glanced at him, her dragon-like mouth splitting into a satisfied smile.

"Human, you can speak."

She said this with a pleasant tone in her voice.

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's eyes lit up with joy.

Princess Felicia is a 'star' in the royal city. Because she appears frequently and has a likable personality, she is adored by many Aura citizens. Wherever she goes, it will soon attract even more people.

That's why the street vendors are always extra enthusiastic whenever Felicia goes out.

Just as she was about to continue walking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye.

It was a young woman standing not far away, her gaze fixed on him.

She was dressed simply in a light green long dress made of ordinary cotton, with a simple cut and no complicated patterns or embellishments. Her hair was black, with a soft sheen in the sunlight, and was casually draped over her shoulders.

She was tall and slender, and her casual posture exuded a sense of composure.

Felicia's gaze lingered on her for two seconds.

Then she noticed that face.

Her features are exquisite and her proportions are perfect.

Especially her eyes, the color of which was the emerald green of a lake in spring, clear and bright, yet unfathomable, with slightly upturned corners and long eyelashes casting fine shadows, a gentle blink seemed to steal one's heart.

Felicia's eyes lit up.

She quickened her pace and walked in that direction. Pedestrians on the street made way for the emperor's daughter, then curiously looked in her direction, wondering what had caught the prince's attention.

"Hey, where are you from?"

Felicia stopped in front of the woman in the green dress and asked.

The woman in the green dress raised her head in front of the red dragon.

She looked at the jeweled red dragon before her, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes, but without any fear or tension.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a beautiful little animal.

"You called me?"

"Yes, it's you. What's your name?"

"Thérol, that's my name."

Felicia looked her up and down, from head to toe, then from toe to head, her gaze lingering longest on her face, before asking, "How come I've never seen you before?"

She always has a deep impression of good-looking people.

Serol smiled slightly: "I'm just an ordinary person passing by. I heard that the Crimson Emperor's City is prosperous and thriving, so I came here specifically to take a look."

"An ordinary person? I don't believe it."

Felicia leaned forward, staring intently at the other person's face.

At this distance, she could see the fine downy hairs on the other person's skin and smell the faint scent of grass and trees emanating from them. The fragrance was unique, unlike any perfume; rather, it smelled like the scent of a deep forest.

"Although you are not as beautiful as me, you are still very pretty, and I like beautiful creatures."

Red Dragon said.

Serol nodded slightly: "It is my honor to receive praise from the Emperor's daughter."

"Do you know who I am?"

“Many people have been talking about you along the way.”

Serol's gaze swept over the red dragon scales and ornaments before she continued, "Princess Felicia, daughter of the Red Emperor, is renowned for her beauty."

Upon hearing the praise, Felicia happily shook her head, causing the necklace around her neck to sway and make a crisp clinking sound.

Then, her gaze fell on Serol's neck.

It was a necklace.

It's a very simple design, with a thin silver chain and a thumb-sized gemstone as a pendant.

The gemstone is green, but it is not as transparent as a regular emerald. Instead, it has a misty feel, as if something is hidden inside, or as if it is shrouded in a thin mist.

When sunlight shines on it, the light seems to be sucked in and never comes out again.

Felicia's eyes lit up.

I like your necklace.

She said it bluntly, then tilted her head and thought for a moment before making a suggestion: "How about this, let's have a competition, and the stake is your necklace."

Serol tilted her head, a look of interest on her face.

"What are we comparing?"

She asked, her tone tinged with curiosity.

"In a battle, I, a weak woman, am no match for His Highness, a dragon."

"No, no, no, fighting is so tacky, let's compete in beauty."

The red dragon puffed out her chest, displaying the necklace, shawl, horn rings, and pearls on her wing edges. In the sunlight, she shimmered from head to toe, like a moving treasure trove.

"We're here, let the people on the street judge who's more beautiful."

"If you win, you can take any piece of jewelry I'm wearing. If I win, your necklace is mine."

Serol pondered for a second, then nodded.

"it is good."

Felicia immediately turned to the residents who had gathered around her.

The crowd grew larger and larger, blocking the street completely, with residents of all races curiously peering out.

"You all heard that!"

Felicia raised her voice and said, "Today, Your Highness will compete in beauty with this Serol, and you are all witnesses!"

"Who wins and who loses is up to you!"

A commotion arose in the crowd.

The emperor's daughter was seen competing with others in beauty in the street, a rare and lively sight.

Everyone got excited and started whispering among themselves.

After Felicia finished speaking, she turned to Serol, her dragon-like lips curving upwards in a confident smile.

"I'll come first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the red dragon slowly turned around, making her necklace and shawl shimmer in the sunlight. Her movements were elegant and slow, ensuring that everyone could see her beauty clearly.

Then she spread her wings, and the pearls on the edges of her wings swayed, making a soft, tinkling sound, like music.

She raised her forearm and straightened her chest, showing off the muscle texture beneath her scales.

Finally, she tilted her head back, letting the sunlight shine directly on her scales. The carefully maintained scales reflected a dazzling light, almost blindingly so, that one dared not look directly at them.

She performed the entire process skillfully, as if it were her first time.

A chorus of exclamations arose from the crowd.

"Absolutely gorgeous!"

"Your Highness is exceptionally radiant today!"

"These scales, this luster, this ornament is perfect!"

Felicia folded her wings with satisfaction and looked at Serol.

"It's your turn."

Serol smiled.

She simply took two steps forward, moved to a spot where the sun was shining brighter, and then turned around confidently.

That's it.

The hem of her green dress fluttered gently as she turned, her long hair tracing an arc in the air, and sunlight fell on her face, illuminating her emerald green eyes.

She turned around once and then stopped.

There was no cheering.

In the aesthetic sense of the people of Aura, they prefer strong bodies and the beauty of dragons. They also acknowledge the beauty of Therol, but here, she cannot compare to His Highness the Red Dragon.

"Princess Felicia wins, no doubt about it!"

Someone said.

"Look at Your Highness's scales and muscles; their luster and imposing presence are beyond the reach of any human."

A cannibal's booming voice.

"Yes! Princess Felicia's beauty is unparalleled!"

More people echoed this sentiment.

A unified voice gradually rose from the crowd.

Felicia listened to the discussions, her tail practically wagging in the air. She turned to Serol, her dragon eyes filled with smugness: "Human, did you hear that? I won."

Serol stood in the sunlight, a faint smile on her face, and simply nodded.

"I heard you, Your Highness wins."

She raised her hand, took off the necklace from her neck, and handed it to Felicia: "A bet's a bet, this necklace is yours."

Felicia took it with her paws and brought it close to her eyes to examine it carefully.

The gem swayed slightly before her eyes, and the hazy layer inside seemed to be shaking, as if it were alive.

She stared at it for a few seconds, feeling that it was peculiar, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

"What kind of gemstone is this? I've never seen it before."

she asked curiously.

Serol said, "It's a rare green jade, a specialty of my hometown, that has a calming and soothing effect."

Across from her, Felicia seemed to be in a very good mood.

She received the necklace she wanted and won the competition; the double joy made her dragon-kiss grin wide.

"I'm going back to get my beauty sleep," she said, hanging the necklace on the tip of her horn. "Human, your beauty may be inferior to mine, but it has pleased me. Here, this is your reward."

She took off a ruby ​​necklace and tossed it to Therrol.

At the same time, the red dragon turned its body, shook its wings, and then spread its wings and took flight.

Serol took the necklace.

She didn't say anything, but simply watched the red dragon disappear into the distance.

Then she continued to stroll through the streets, looking around with interest at the buildings and the various Aura people of different races.

Time passed slowly.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased as the sun began to set and the light dimmed, casting long shadows that intertwined and spread out on the ground in a dappled pattern.

Serol walked to the entrance of a relatively quiet alley and stopped.

Then she turned around.

A figure was standing not far behind her.

He was a strong and imposing man with an dignified and authoritative face.

His features were deep-set, with high brow bones, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips. He was also tall with broad shoulders, casting a thick shadow in front of him. Just the way he stood there with his arms crossed was enough to make him impossible to ignore.

His pupils were black.

Like the embers that have settled after countless years of burning.

This is Garus in human form.

He stared at Serol before him, his gaze piercing through her human form to reveal a giant dragon with vibrant, beautiful scales.

But a faint, ethereal shadow shrouded her, constantly shifting between solid and transparent, making her appear as if she existed between reality and illusion.

"Green dragon, where did you come from?"

Galos asked in a low, unhurried voice.

Serol, whose identity was mentioned, smiled slightly and replied, "I come from the continent of Aurotara."

Galos narrowed his eyes slightly: "Aurotara. Things aren't peaceful here right now."

“It’s certainly not peaceful,” Therol said, meeting Garros’s gaze. “The Curse of Fury is burning, orcs and elves are fighting, and the whole continent is in chaos.”

"In comparison, although Atlantis also faces the danger of the abyss, it is at least much better on the surface."

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Galos stared at her, his gaze sharpening: "Where you come from is not just about which continent you're from, but about who you are."

Serol looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

At the same time, she straightened her back a bit, raised her chin slightly, and gently crossed her hands in front of her, which were originally hanging casually at her sides.

In that instant, her entire demeanor changed.

A queenly aura emanated naturally from her.

Serola stared at the figure opposite her and spoke again: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Garoth Ignas, the Red Emperor of Aura."

"The intelligent beings of the continent of Aurotara call me—the Green Queen."
