Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 429 Power and Strength

Seeing that the creations he had just made were starting to fight amongst themselves, Du Yi quickly raised his long tail to pull the eight dragons apart, and at the same time manipulated the power of the earth to condense a stone prison to trap them in place.

Fortunately, the eight dragons had just been born, and their fighting with each other had consumed a lot of energy, so they were not very strong individually, which is why the stone prison was able to trap them.

This also gave Du Yi the opportunity to observe them.

Du Yi's original design was a long, wingless dragon. After all, in his vision, these four dragons were going to be thrown into the water, so having claws was enough; there was no need for them to have wings.

But now, these eight dragons have things that are not part of the original design. Wings are obviously not suitable for use in water, and as for breathing fire from their mouths, what can they do in water?
This is clearly not an influence he created.

"It's that water!"

Du Yi immediately realized that among all these creations, there was only one thing that did not belong to him.

Du Yi added the naturally active water, intending for the four Tahririans to conquer them, and then use this water as a base to influence other waters.

But who could have imagined that these waters themselves would develop consciousness, and even actively tear apart their bodies, condensing into another half according to their own imagination.

Yes, according to their own imagination.

Du Yi grasped the key point.

"These waters are not only polluted, they even have their own consciousness!"

If it has its own consciousness, then things are much easier to handle; it's even easier than simply being contaminated.

"Go."

Du Yi simply released the eight dragons and then threw them out separately.

"If you were made of water, my words are useless. If you were molded from clay, then don't forget your mission, and I will provide you with support."

The eight dragons were thrown in different directions and then all fell into the water.

The four dragons, corrupted by the mutated water, quickly dived into the water, their agile movements making them seem as if they were returning home.

On the contrary, the four dragons with the souls of the Tahririans struggled and were very uncomfortable with the surrounding water.

However, it was merely a matter of not being used to it. The mutated water did not harm them. Or rather, their bodies had already been mutated by the water once, so there was no need for them to be mutated a second time.

Then there is no more then.

They were eager to complete the mission, but had no idea where to begin. Theoretically, they were supposed to influence the surrounding water, ideally by controlling the water sources.

But the water wouldn't obey them at all.

The water has its own will and cannot be controlled by them. Even if they try to force it, they will be met with fierce attacks from the other four dragons.

Unlike the other four, the other four dragons inherently possessed the will of the alienated water. They were originally one with the water, and the water flow would work for them without them even having to forcefully manipulate it.

Those four dragons control the power over the flowing water.

They control power and authority.

"How to fight?"

The four dragons, each possessing the soul of a Tahrir, were helpless; they were truly powerless to defeat them in this situation.

So, after being beaten twenty-eight times in three days, the four dragons could only drag their battered bodies back to Du Yi's side.

"The gap is just too big; we also need power and authority."

The four dragons began requesting assistance.

"Otherwise, this battle really can't be fought." "Support? That's easy to arrange."

Du Yi had originally planned to provide support, after all, he knew that the four dragons dominated by the mutated water had returned to the water, or rather, returned to their home ground.

On the contrary, the four dragons he sent out, which possessed the souls of the Tahririans, were definitely not going to be defeated.

However, we'll only know what kind of support is needed after the battle is over. Fortunately, these four dragons have finally figured out what they need.

However, isn't "power" and "authority" a bit too broad?

"How should I give this to... I've got it."

Four dragons, four forces.

Du Yi immediately made the connection to the Four Star Gods.

It's not necessary to grant him all the power, just a certain amount. In fact, his current method of fighting against the mutated water also comes from the ideas of the Four Gods of the Star Sea.

So it's not surprising that we're continuing to use this power for now?

"Alright."

After thinking for a moment, Du Yi summoned one of the dragons.

"You come."

A dragon flew over and landed in front of Du Yi.

Immediately following was the infusion of power.

As a strange power was poured in, the dragon's appearance changed. Its originally slender body gradually became rugged, and its body itself gradually grew to resemble a small mountain.

This is the power from the God of Life, which Du Yi has integrated with the power of the earth, allowing this dragon to manipulate mountains and riverbeds to block the flow of water.

"And you, you come too."

Another dragon was summoned, and another surge of power was poured into it.

The dragon's image is also changing, but instead of becoming more rugged, it is becoming more elegant and delicate. It is more like a large butterfly with wings than a dragon.

This power comes from the God of Desire, which Du Yi has infused with some of his own blood, allowing the dragon to hover high in the sky for an extended period while manipulating the planet's air to kill its enemies.

Immediately afterwards, the third and fourth dragons were also summoned. Du Yi bestowed upon them power, the power from the God of Wisdom, which caused one of the dragons to begin emitting water-like ripples. This wonderful disguise allowed it to become exactly the same as those dragons of the mutated water, and unless it exposed itself, no one could tell the difference.

The other dragon retained the fire-breathing characteristic. This power from the alienated water, combined with the power of the god of courage, exhibited a completely different effect—it spewed not only flames, but also lava-like metal.

But that wasn't the most surprising thing for Du Yi.

What surprised Du Yi the most was that this dragon could actually spew out flame weapons forged from lava.

"What...is this for?"

Du Yi felt that the power seemed to be getting more and more off track.

However, at least for now, the power granted to the four dragons is enough. With the power from the four gods of the star sea, they should have no problem defeating the dragon bodies possessed by the mutated water.

"Go on, do what you're supposed to do."

Du Yi threw the four dragons out again.
