Global live stream of the containment of the aliens terrifies the alien fleet.

"General! The data has been transmitted back—confirmed as a 'Dragon'! It is both a spiritual creature recorded in the millennia-old totem of the Dragon Kingdom and a supreme being revered at the pinnacle of all spirits in ancient Western scrolls. Dinosaur remains did exist on ancient Earth, but comparisons by Deno-1 show..."

Lianfeng spoke rapidly, each word sharp and clear.

The more they listened, the more their brows furrowed and their faces grew grim.

dragon!

No matter where you look at it or in which book—

They are all top predators that traverse mountains and devour galaxies!

It represents overwhelming power and an unquestionable monarchy!

"Then why is it called 'The Dragon Once Was Here'?"

Glenn's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became dry.

Could it be...?

Will the entire forest of dragon tombstones be collectively resurrected here?

Damn it.

The most terrifying thing is that no one knows just how hardcore these guys really are—if they're just tough-skinned prehistoric behemoths, they can be wiped out with a wave of the hand; but what if they're actually magical creatures with cursed fire that can scorch the heavens and split the earth with their breath...

Sorry.

One of them is worth ten Godzillas.

Hundreds and thousands of them all at once?

The global restart button has been pressed, killing everything!

……

Devil One.

"Damn woman! Number one? 'The Dragon Once Was Here'? Dragons? Aren't those legendary living fossils that even space pirates dare not mess with? I, the Queen, have traversed the stars for tens of thousands of years, and I can count the number of real dragons I've seen with my own eyes on one hand! Oh right, one was once camped out by that brat 239! Damn woman! Just how big of a commotion is this thing going to cause?"

Morgana's fingers unconsciously gripped the armrest of the throne, her knuckles turning white.

She still feels uneasy.

Last time, during the doomsday reckoning in 239, I had the rules rewritten on the spot. The feeling of being squeezed and molded was so intense that I wanted to bang my head against the wall and howl.

……

"dragon?"

"There are no dragons in this world! The so-called 'dragon bones' that humans dig up are just dinosaur fossils. One armor-piercing bullet and they'd turn the bone fragments into dust!"

"Hopefully it's just a publicity stunt. If it's a dragon sculpted by 239 himself, it'll be easy for us to clean it up."

"That would be for the best. Besides, Queen Keisha will arrive in an instant. Even if a real dragon came flying through the air, how much of a storm could it cause?"

"But it's number one! It's ranked even higher than 239th!!"

……

A group of angelic young ladies chattered away, their clear laughter rising and falling, the tension on their faces quickly dispelled by their smiles.

dragon?

Ordinary people would go weak in the knees upon hearing this.

In the eyes of angels—nothing more than a target covered in scales.

Only Yan remained silent.

My chest feels like it's been sanded by sandpaper; it's both astringent and painful.

Yan, the Sword Saint of Dawn...

He was pinned down by a bizarre move!

From then on, I never dared to treat the word "weird" as a joke again—a lesson etched into my very bones!

……

[Project Classification: Safe [Withdrawn], revised to: Neutralized]

[Project Description: Anomaly 1762-1 is a standard-sized cardboard box, approximately 30 centimeters high, made of ordinary corrugated cardboard...]

Picture:

An ordinary cardboard box sits neatly on the desk.

The box had four Chinese characters written in bold black marker: “Long Zeng Zai Ci”.

The image freezes for one second.

Audiences worldwide burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha—I'm devastated! This is the top spot?!"

"Are you kidding me? A delivery box with only four characters written on it is considered number one?!"

"Hilarious! It's the same as what I packed when I moved! Even the tape marks are exactly the same!"

"I can't take it anymore, my stomach is cramping! This top spot must have been wiped out overnight!"

"+1! It feels like even a sneeze from 239 could blow it apart!"

"Here's the key point—what does 'NEU' mean now, instead of 'SAFE'?"

"Even a fool understands English: Neutralized means 'completely useless,' purely for show!"

Holy crap!!

The Angel Legion's base.

"This...this is the top-ranked 'Dragon Once Was Here'? Sister Yan, can I laugh out loud?"

"This is outrageous! Who compiled this list? Hand it over and they'll be punished!"

"It's just a cardboard box, yet it's handwritten with 'The Dragon Was Here'... Hehehehe~"

"We can't judge how scary a monster is just based on its strange face—like that 'Mask Possession' guy!"

"But who doesn't know how to pronounce 'Neut'? It just means 'useless,' right? Does that mean this thing is completely uninteresting?"

……

A group of angelic young ladies chattered amongst themselves, like sparrows landing on a branch.

Everyone rolled their eyes, pursed their lips, and shook their heads at the sight of this celestial ranking list.

But Angel Yan tensed her jaw and quietly pressed her fingertips against the sword hilt.

The strange never plays by the rules—the more ordinary something appears, the more wary you should be.

Look at that little girl, and also the 239th witch.

Which one isn't clean-cut and quiet?

And the result? With a wave of the hand, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, causing a catastrophic disaster in the blink of an eye!

But this cardboard box...

Flat and droopy, gray and dull, it couldn't even exude a hint of malevolence.

It's incredibly frustrating that they're stuck at the top of the list.

……

Devil One Base.

"Bah! This bunch of blind fools! They think a broken cardboard box is number one? That's laughable!"

Queen Morgana slammed her hand on the armrest, her brows furrowed into sharp lines, her eyes filled with doubt.

Ato huddled in the corner, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, not daring to utter a single word.

He personally witnessed his queen being wiped out in 239 seconds without even leaving a trace!

The top spot is back—but it's just a paper tiger?

A chill ran down his spine, and his palms were completely wet.

……

Command cabin of the Juxia.

"My goodness!! This...this is worthy of reaching the top? Could it be that the system is malfunctioning? Or...should we call the emergency hotline?"

Rui Xiaomeng's eyes widened, and she almost jumped off her chair.

"Call the hotline? Our alert level is three levels higher than the hotline. Who are you planning to call?"

Newcomer Wei Wei glanced sideways, her tone full of helplessness.

"Just a cardboard box? Oh my... It's really ranked first? Does it have 'The Dragon Once Was Here' engraved on it? It looks like a returned package box, so ordinary."

Chuangzi scratched the back of his head, his cowbell-like eyes fixed on the screen, as if he wanted to stare a hole through it.

"Could a man-eating dragon jump out from inside? Like one with its gaping, blood-red maw?!"

The laughter in the cabin abruptly stopped as soon as the little fox finished speaking in a drawn-out tone.

A dozen pairs of eyes swept over at once, their chilling gazes like ice water being poured over one's head.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she took two steps back, almost tripping over the chair leg.

"Watch your mouth!"

Du Qiangwei gave a cold shout and lightly tapped her on the forehead—the boss's authority never needed to be shouted.

The little fox immediately stuck out its tongue and shrank its neck, looking just like a frightened little white rabbit.

"Wait... does that mean if I just tear it apart, burn it, or grind it into dust, it'll be completely harmless?"

Prince Cheng stroked the prickly stubble on his chin, his voice low and deep.

"No! General, look at the side of the box!"

Qi Lin suddenly raised her voice.

General Du Ao and the others were jolted awake and turned their heads in unison—at first they were blank, then they froze in the next second.

"This...this is our Juxia's operations room! There's a numbered label in the corner! Immediately check the surveillance footage and locate it!"

Du Ao suddenly jumped up, his voice cracking.

"It's my office... General."

Lianfeng's face instantly drained of color, her pupils contracted sharply, and her lips trembled slightly.

She never dreamed that this thing would quietly creep up next to the desk she had personally arranged.

It's a ghost... a real ghost.

……

Lines of text slowly appeared on the screen.

"Uh... this... this is what you call a dragon?"

Everyone froze, their mouths slightly agape and their eyes wide with disbelief.

A dragon made of origami?

It's soft and floppy, with sharp edges—just like a craft project!

I laughed so hard my stomach cramped!

But why is it ranked at the top?

Those people at the shelter probably filled out the ranking list like a children's sketchbook!

"Hey! I thought I'd stumbled upon some primordial monster—and this is it? It's a disgrace to the word 'dragon'!"

Sun Wukong, who had just climbed out of the intensive care unit, stood with his hands on his hips and roared angrily, his spittle almost splashing onto the screen.

The surrounding super soldiers nodded in agreement, and some couldn't help but burst out laughing, their shoulders shaking.

The entire internet exploded at this moment—

The screen was filled with "hahaha"s, and the scrolling was so fast I couldn't read them all.

"Hahahaha—an origami dragon! They're practically trying to make people laugh to death!"

"This looks like the paper dragon my daughter folded!"

"The weird stuff these days is getting more and more unbelievable!"

"Wait, what if we set this dragon on fire? It might actually breathe out a puff of hot air!"

"That's perfect! Let it blow out the candles on the birthday cake!"

……

The comment section erupted in laughter.

This is absolutely the most worthless of all the known bizarre files!!

Absolutely no exceptions!

……

Even many angels looked disappointed.

"I thought I would finally get to see a living, breathing Gu Long, but what I found was like a kindergarten craft exhibition."

"The rankings are definitely wrong! That's all I can say!"

"I suddenly remembered that writer on Earth named Jin Yong, whose last novel ended with a joke... Could this bizarre ending also be a joke?"

"This dragon? Its fire breath would only singe a few cigarettes at most."

The angel lady, on the contrary, became interested, especially since the previous rating had already stated that this thing posed no threat whatsoever.
