Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

"wrong!"

As an observer, Gu Yuena keenly sensed the abnormality.

Which god-king spoke twice, guiding the dragon prince to step forward and help?
Why the rush?

Aren't the eighteen god-kings all the most loyal subordinates of the Dragon God?

Moreover, Gu Yuena could see that none of the eighteen God Kings present spoke!

Apart from the Time Dragon King and Space Dragon King having somewhat strange auras, emanating powerful spatial and temporal laws that enveloped the entire area... everyone else was perfectly normal.

And whose voice was that, bewitching the dragon prince to step forward and help the dragon god?
It couldn't possibly be Lu Jun, could it?

That shouldn't be happening; that's not Lu Jun's voice at all!

Moreover, what benefit would Lu Jun gain from disrupting the Dragon Clan's attempt to reach the God Star?
However, before she could figure it out, the scene before her suddenly distorted and changed.

It was as if time had reversed, or as if a hallucination had reappeared—

She was shocked to see that the scene had returned to the moment when the Dragon God was still frantically converting energy at the center of the altar.

This time, however, the Dragon Prince's body was not pushed away, but rather clung tightly to the Dragon God's body, as if it were a leech.

The dragon prince's body was visibly shriveling and withering.

His vibrant, seven-colored radiance dimmed rapidly, and his life force dissipated quickly, like a candle flickering in the wind.

The expression on his face froze, eventually turning into a deathly gray.

The Dragon God... didn't push him away at all!
Was the scene of fatherly love he just witnessed an illusion?
Gu Yuena was shocked and immediately raised her senses to the limit.

This time, she finally saw the truth hidden beneath the surface.

A layer of extremely subtle yet incredibly powerful invisible force permeated the Dragon God's body.

That power carried a cold, absolute, and all-encompassing will, like the most cunning serpent, coiling around the dragon god's perception, distorting his understanding, and amplifying his pain and chaos.

Universal Laws!

The aura of this power is the same as the strange power that is currently suppressing Lu Jun's spiritual origin.

It is also so difficult to detect or discover.

If Gu Yuena hadn't been observing from an outsider's perspective, she wouldn't have noticed at all. Even Gu Yuena believed that the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King were the main culprits behind the trouble.

But... why would the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King help the laws of the universe destroy the Dragon God?
"Unfortunately, the laws of the universe clouded the Dragon God's perception. He thought he had pushed his son away, but in reality, under the interference of the laws, he devoured the prince's life even more frantically."

"Moreover, with the help of the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King, the other God Kings didn't even notice this!"

Gu Yuena instantly understood the root of this tragedy.

Why, why are there traitors even within the dragon race?!
The dragon prince's body was completely withered, like a dead tree drained of all moisture and life. In the end, under the unconscious devouring of the dragon god, it turned into specks of ashes and dissipated in the violent energy turbulence, leaving not even a trace.

The moment his son's life force completely disappeared, the cosmic law power that had obscured the Dragon God's perception receded like a tide.

At the same time, the power of time and space dissipated, and the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King returned to normal.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena felt a chill run down her spine, finally understanding why the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King were behaving strangely, and why all sorts of unusual situations were occurring.

The power of the nine Dragon Kings all originated from the Dragon God. Logically speaking, the Dragon God's power of space and time should be superior to that of these two Dragon Kings.

Why...didn't the Dragon God discover their betrayal?

Could it be that the Dragon God's perception has been clouded by the laws of the universe?

Then, Gu Yuena clearly saw that before the power of the cosmic laws receded, it subtly shifted the blame for leading the prince to his death and the signs of spacetime distortion to the Dragon King of Time and Space.

So that's how it is. The truth is finally out!
Gu Yuena closed her eyes in anguish, already imagining what would happen next and what the outcome would be.

Thus, from the perspective of onlookers, the tragedy of the dragon race's decline unfolded irreversibly.

"puff--"

The Dragon God was struck as if by lightning, and spat out a mouthful of divine blood containing nine-colored radiance.

He looked down at his empty arms, feeling the blood connection completely severed. The distorted memory of being pushed away shattered instantly, and the real, horrific scene of being devoured was like the most vicious curse, clearly imprinted deep within his soul.

"My son...my son...ahhhhh—!"

A heart-wrenching roar, filled with endless regret and madness, erupted from the Dragon God's mouth.

His dragon eyes were instantly engulfed by endless blood and destruction.

At that very moment, he finally saw the two dragon kings around the altar, their bodies radiating strange energy fluctuations, secretly manipulating the power of the laws of time and space: the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King.

They distorted the flow of time and accelerated the energy surge.

They blocked spatial perception, thus deceiving the other god-kings!

They... caused him to devour his own son?!
Completely consumed by the grief of losing his son and the rage secretly guided by the laws of the universe, the Dragon God, as if finding an outlet, poured all his pain, anger, and despair onto the two Dragon Kings, whom he saw as the culprits.

"You bastards!!! It was you who framed my son? You twisted time and space, causing me to commit such a terrible mistake?!"

The Dragon God's voice was like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, filled with a chilling killing intent.

The Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King were bewildered by this sudden accusation and murderous intent. They sensed the completely out-of-control, apocalyptic, terrifying aura emanating from the Dragon God and tried in horror to explain:
"My lord, we are utterly loyal to you and would never betray you!"

"My lord, you are wise! That was not our doing!"

However, in his rage, and under the influence of the laws of the universe, the Dragon God was no longer willing to listen to explanations.

All he could think of was the image of his son turning to ashes and the voice that had led the prince to his death.

"Isn't it what you said, that you wanted my son to step forward and help me stabilize the situation?"

The Dragon God roared, and the already unbalanced destructive power within him was completely unleashed by his emotions at this moment.

"My lord! That's not us!!"

The Dragon King of Time and Space let out a desperate cry.

But it was too late.

The out-of-control Dragon God unleashed his strongest killing move as the Supreme God-King. The heaven-reaching power that was originally used to fight against the laws of the universe and create a divine star has now turned into a destructive torrent, with light like two supernova explosions, instantly engulfing the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King.

The two powerful dragon kings couldn't even put up a decent fight. Under the dragon god's full-force, hateful attack, their divine bodies shattered and their divine souls were annihilated. Like ants crushed by a giant wheel, they were instantly destroyed, body and soul.

"No! Our lord has completely lost control!" The Dark Dragon King roared, his eyes bloodshot. "Quickly! Attack together, subdue our lord, and bring him back to his senses!"

"My lord... wake up!"

The Water Dragon King's voice trembled, tinged with tears.

The Light Dragon King's face was filled with endless regret:

"Why...why didn't we heed Lord Lu's advice..."

The other dragon kings finally recovered from the shock of these successive upheavals, their hearts filled with the same regret and despair.

Only now did they truly understand how correct Lu Jun's prediction had been.

The power forcibly seized and not fully integrated within the Dragon God, under the influence of the laws of the universe, indeed became the fuse for destruction! (End of Chapter)
