Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

"This is the city, nothing will happen in the city."

Darlina shouted in dissatisfaction.

"It won't work in the city either."

Razer was well aware that Mellon City was not a very safe city. Not only did conflicts arise between the local Waiva family and outside security contractors, but there were also conflicts among the local Waiva family members.

As the eldest daughter of the Vaiva family, Darlina was not suited to get involved in the conflicts between the families and the contractors.

"But there's nothing wrong with just looking at it."

Mulseth snapped her fingers, and a figure that looked seven or eight parts like Mulseth slowly emerged from a small pool a few hundred meters away from them.

It first crawled out of the pool, and then flowed like ordinary water toward the place where the conflict had occurred. Mulsey saw that it was a conflict between a team of scavengers and a foreign security contractor.

Seeing the markings on the security contractor's uniform, Mulce cursed his bad luck.

"They're actually from the beach umbrellas."

Because of the significant overlap in their businesses, Rhein Life Sciences and Beach Umbrella have always been competitors.

The beach umbrella company was most annoyed by Rhine Life's sudden arrival in Mellon City, as they had secretly sabotaged the company more than once.

However, with Mülse in charge of Rhine Life, there naturally won't be any problems. There aren't any big shots in Mellon City, so her arrival here is a complete blow from a lower dimension.

Now that we have Gard, there's even less chance of problems.

Although I haven't seen Gard make a move, since Seria admires Gard so much, Gard's strength must not be much worse than Seria's, right?

As a major company on par with Rhine Life, Beach Umbrella is naturally exceptionally powerful, and ordinary scavenging teams are hardly a match for them.

However, since they are competitors anyway, Mulsey doesn't mind secretly sabotaging them.

"what."

Suddenly, Mulce saw a box on the scavengers' vehicle shake, indicating that the scavengers had been subdued. A group of security personnel with beach umbrellas walked forward with smiles.

They didn't expect a group of scavengers to have anything good; they were simply annoyed and wanted to find some fun.

They climbed onto the scavenger's truck, rummaged through the contents, and then opened a box.

"Look, there's an axe here."

"What's so interesting about a broken axe?"

"It's quite big, could it be a magical artifact?"

"Wow, so we've bumped into a big idiot!"

On the black market, an Originium Staff starts at least at 100,000 Salgon Coins, and the quality is generally mediocre.

If the axe in the box is indeed a magical artifact, it looks pretty good; it could at least sell for several hundred million or tens of millions of Salgon Tokens.

This is an axe that looks somewhat like a crescent moon. It looks like it was dug out of some ruin, but it feels like it was just forged.

However, just as a security guard at a beach umbrella was about to pick up the axe, a voice suddenly exploded in his mind.

"Don't touch the old lady!"

The next second, the security guard at the beach umbrella fell backward like a scallion hanging upside down.

The remaining security personnel were still unaware of what was happening when they saw the axe in the box fly into the air.

Not far away, looking at the axe that suddenly flew up, Mulsey felt a strange sense of familiarity. She remembered that a month ago, when she first met Gard, wasn't Gard holding this axe?

Sure enough, as soon as Mulsey turned her head, she saw the axe flying towards her, or more precisely, towards Gard behind her.

The speed at which the axe flew even produced a sonic boom in that instant.

It even gives people the illusion that the axe is not coming to seek its master, but to seek revenge.

However, Gard, who had just come out of the clothing store, simply reached out and grabbed the axe.

This was originally his weapon, so naturally he couldn't resist it.

Just as Gard was wondering how the axe had flown over by itself, a familiar voice rang in Gard's mind.

"Adaklis, I'm a *hot earth swearing man*, did you hear me? *hot earth swearing man*!"

Gard: ? ? ?

How did he hear the sound of that black dragon?

.......

Chapter Ten: Miss Black Dragon Doesn't Want to Warm the Bed

At first, Gard thought he had misheard.

But upon closer listening, he discovered that a sound was indeed ringing in his mind, coming from the axe.

怎麼回事？

How come his axe can talk?

It sounds just like that black dragon, but softer, like a girl's voice.

Gard's sharp gaze swept over the axe in his hand.

As if noticing Gard's gaze, the cursing from the axe paused for a moment, then intensified.

"You damned Adaklis, how dare you treat me like that! When I gather all those Drak descendants created from the blood of my great-great-grandmother, I'll grind you to dust!"

The sound from the axe was filled with boundless hatred.

"Adakris, my hatred for you is so great that even killing you a thousand times wouldn't be enough!!!"

It really was the voice of that black dragon!

Although he didn't know why the black dragon had gotten into his axe, he couldn't let any random things live in his axe.

Thinking this, Gard infused his ascending power into the axe. Ascended beings were experts at manipulating souls; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to create a complete physical body from a soul alone.

Before he reached level six, he probably wouldn't have been able to do anything about the black dragon's soul, but things are different now.

As the power of ascension was injected, the cursing coming from the axe gradually disappeared.

"Hey, what are you doing? *Hot local swear word*, what the hell are you doing?"

"How could you touch my spirit? What do you want to do to me? Are you trying to kill me?"

"I am the guardian of this sacred land, the most powerful being in the world. How dare you try to annihilate me? How could you possibly annihilate me?"

"No, what is that golden energy? It hurts so much, I feel like I'm going to split open! I can't hold it in anymore, I can't hold it in anymore, stop!"

"Don't do this! I've become like this, and you still won't let me go!"

Inside the axe, the voice of the black dragon was heartbreaking and brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it, but Gard didn't care at all. He couldn't possibly leave a soul that harbored treachery towards him inside his axe.

As for why the black dragon ended up inside its own axe...

What does this have to do with Gard?

However, the Black Dragon was still a powerful being capable of fighting against its own enraged state. Even if it was reduced to a soul, it could still unleash unimaginable power.

Gard's attempt to obliterate Him with the power of ascension is like trying to grind an iron pestle into a needle, or even break it; the time it would take is estimated to be measured in years.

Gard hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​completely annihilating the black dragon's soul, which was much more difficult than killing its physical body.

"Tell me, I can spare your life, but what good will that do you?"

Gard spoke calmly, as if he hadn't really intended to kill the black dragon, but rather was deliberately demonstrating his ability to annihilate it.

"I'm useful, I'm useful!"

In Gard's mind, a pitiful dragon seemed to appear, nodding vigorously at him.

"I can warm your bed!"

"I have no interest in dragons."

"I can transform into a human!"

In Gard's mind, the huge black dragon shadow slowly disappeared, eventually turning into a Drak girl with short white hair wearing a military uniform.

"This is what one of my descendants looks like!"

The black dragon, now transformed into a white-haired Drak, spoke with a serious expression.

"I can also transform into two other people. Hmm, that's strange. How can I transform into these three people? Impossible! How could there only be three of us left in Draco?"

Listening to the black dragon, now transformed into a young girl, talking to itself, Gard seemed to know who the black dragon had transformed into.

"Aleto, the person you've become, her name isn't Talulah, is it?"

How did you know!?

The black dragon lady, now transformed into Talulah, stared at Gard in shock.

'Of course I know.'

Gard thought to himself, "There are only a handful of Draks in the world with truly pure bloodlines, and the only one wearing military uniform is the one from the snowfield."

"You should change back to your original form first."

The black dragon before him was not Talulah after all, and Gard couldn't bring himself to make the black dragon look like Talulah to warm his bed.

But is it really possible?

"Can you materialize now?" Gard asked.

"Okay." Miss Black Dragon hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "But not for too long."

"What if I turned into someone like you?"

Gard pointed to the black dragon lady, whose body was over a hundred meters long, but who could only lie on the ground and look at him in order to have a proper conversation with him, and asked.

"That's also possible..."

Black Dragon didn't want to tell the truth, but the thought that Gard had immediately revealed the name of the descendant she had transformed into made her a little flustered.

She entered Gard's weapon; does that mean Gard can now know whatever she's thinking?

"How much of their original strength can they unleash?"

"One-tenth... no, it's all my strength!"

Gard was shocked. He had thought that once the black dragon was reduced to a soul, it would at most resemble the fire giant that Surtr manifested.

He was certain that the fire giant that Surtr manifested was definitely not the original form of the fire giant.

However, the black dragon, which only has its soul left, can still exert its original strength. Is it because the black dragon's soul is more complete?

Since Gard remained silent, the black dragon was unsure of what to do, so it had no choice but to honestly voice its conjecture.

“When I’m outside, I seem to be a little stronger than when I’m inside. There are many tiny particles in the air, and I can use their power to temporarily revert to my original form, but not for too long.”

Upon hearing Black Dragon's words, Gard immediately understood what was going on. For a fleeting moment, he even considered grabbing the weapon possessed by Black Dragon and heading straight to cause trouble for Hai Si.

With the Black Dragon unleashing its full power, combined with him and the Deep Sea Hunter, they could launch a decapitation strike against Hai Si.

The Deepsea Hunter can slay a god on his own, so with him and the Black Dragon, it should be even easier.

But the black dragon's words made Gard think of a possibility.

The reason why the Black Dragon is stronger in the hot soil is because there are trace amounts of Originium dust in the outside air, while there is almost no Originium dust in the hot soil, except at high altitudes.

Similarly, there are no Originium stones in the sea.

Without the help of Originium, the Black Dragon cannot unleash his full power; his current strength is insufficient.

Moreover, Gard does not trust the black dragon in the axe. What if it suddenly betrays him during the battle?

Because of his presence, the black dragon's presence within the axe was essentially sealed away.

If he weren't there, just like before, Black Dragon could have easily left with his axe.

Gard, calm down!

With a sigh, Gard looked at the axe in his hand, his tone indifferent.

"I can spare your life for now, but how long that will last depends on your performance."

"Yes, yes, I will be good."

The black dragon was genuinely afraid of Gard. Anyone who saw their body being devoured piece by piece would likely suffer a mental breakdown.

The black dragon's powerful willpower allowed it to endure the pain of being devoured, but it also left an indelible psychological shadow in its heart.
