Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 431 The Power of Nature

Chapter 431 The Power of Nature
Those four dragons, corrupted by the mutated water, should have been devoid of intelligence, or perhaps the mutated water on them was originally part of the Slime King's body.

But through repeated battles, they eventually developed some intelligence, partly as independent individuals and partly due to the tacit approval of their host.

After all, their true form, the King of Slimes, could sense that if these four dragons were not allowed to operate independently, the other four dragons, which did not belong to it, might cause it intractable trouble.

The essence of life lies in strengthening oneself, and the King of Slimes is no exception.

In a sense, its life form is exactly the same as that of the God of Destruction.

However, it did not embark on the path to godhood, but instead chose a more practical, yet more powerful, path.

Just like it is now.

If it were the God of Destruction himself, he would probably have to command his demon minions to charge into battle, or he could personally take to the field.

But if it were replaced with this...

The water on this planet is its weapon.

Hidden within the raging waves were countless boulders, which served as its support for its four dragon subordinates. Although the technique was simple, it was extremely effective. Each of the boulders hidden in the raging waves carried the force of a cannonball. Even though the four dragons were heavily armored, they were forced to retreat in a short time, their bones broken and tendons snapped.

Yes, since both sides have four dragons, both sides will naturally demand support.

Now, the competition is about who can provide stronger support.

"How could it have gotten like this!"

The Dragon King, who controlled steel and weapons, shrank his neck; he had just been hit by three boulders, and his head was still dazed.

"This is completely different from last time! Why did the river suddenly rush over here!"

"Are you stupid? What we're actually fighting against is this water."

On the other side, the King of Rivers and Waters was also panting behind cover; clearly, it too had been badly injured after being hit twice.

Clearly, even with such a name, it cannot control the raging water flow. As a master of disguise, it can only manage to prevent the water from harming itself.

But the stones mixed in with the water are a different story; whether you get hit by one depends entirely on luck.

"Why is this happening?"

The Earth and Mountain King, which was holding up its shelter, was also puzzled. It was the only one of the four dragons that hadn't been hit. When the water came, it had already used the power of the earth to raise a rock shield.

Its choice proved to be correct; the shield was shattered in a single blow. If it hadn't been quick enough, the surging attack would have smashed its head open.

As for the King of the Sky and the Wind... this unfortunate dragon was the first victim. Before he could even take off, he was struck on the head by a boulder, and his fate is unknown.

In just one exchange, they were already being beaten so badly they were complaining bitterly.

And this was only the reinforcements called in by the enemy.

The other four dragons, however, have not yet made a move.

"hiss……"

The four dragons now deeply felt the gap between them.

What kind of support do they have? What kind of support do they have? The difference is so huge, how can they possibly fight?
"or……"

Although they were reluctant to admit it, at least at this moment, the thought of surrender actually arose in their minds.

As the saying goes, life always finds its own way. When faced with an opponent you can't defeat, surrendering is actually a kind of inevitable outcome.

However, it was clear that surrendering was not an option. Leaving aside whether the mutated water in front of them would spare them, the ancient serpent blood flowing in their bodies would immediately backfire and take their lives.

"I should have known better than to take this mission; this is not a battle we should be involved in."

The four dragons, or rather, the four souls of the Tahririans, were filled with regret. This was something they shouldn't have been involved in. Even though their opponents had only used the most basic fighting methods, those very methods had still managed to leave them bloodied and battered.

The power controlled by the enemy is virtually limitless; it is the power of an entire river, or even all the waters combined.

No matter how capable they are at fighting, can they possibly defeat nature?
"At the very least, the Pope should be the one to deal with it..."

Yes, this way of existence reminded them of their Pope, the First Pope, who used his overwhelming power to take care of everyone's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

To put it extremely, all the Tahririans are actually living inside the body of that pope.

If their current enemy is pure and all-encompassing "water," then their Pope is "wood," encompassing and benefiting all things.

These two can be considered opponents of equal caliber; the other four are nothing at all.

"Perhaps we should..."

At this moment, the four dragons were already considering retreating.

But it's clear they won't leave so easily.

Just as they were about to retreat, the four giant dragons controlled by the mutated water blocked their way, cutting off their last escape route.

The corrupted waters, or rather the slime kings, had no intention of letting these four dragons, who might pose a threat, leave. Since the time was right, they would all stay here.

This also terrified the four dragons.

Behind them was a raging river, ready to engulf them in its whirlpool at any moment; before them stood four giant dragons of similar strength, completely cutting off their path to survival.

At this point, they were in dire straits.

They must find their own way to survive.

"kill!"

As the saying goes, anger rises from the heart and evil is born from the gall. If it weren't for these four dragons blocking the road, they might have really run away.

But now that they are in a desperate situation with no way to avoid it, it has aroused their fighting spirit, making them choose to fight to the death!

"You have support, but we don't?"

The King of Steel and Weapons took the lead, and with a clang, a sharp blade was forcibly extended from the edge of his claws!

"Since you won't let us live, then come at me!"

laugh--

As the sharp blade sliced through the air, the giant dragon controlled by the mutated water froze in place.

Immediately afterwards, the enormous dragon body collapsed.

"This……"

Looking at the blade in his hand, then back at the dragon's body split in two, the King of Steel and Weapons was filled with disbelief.

"It's actually that useful?"

Meanwhile, the other three dragons also completed their kills.

They never expected that the weapons in their hands would be so effective.

However, now is not the time to focus on weapons; in order to gain power and strength, they have something else to do.
