Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

Water has a very high heat capacity, and the volume of seawater is practically infinite. Even Leviathan could not freeze the Arctic Ocean all the way to the seabed.

So in principle, as long as they keep diving deeper into the sea, they have a chance to escape this terrifying verbal attack. Zero to four degrees Celsius is an unbearable low temperature for ordinary people, but with their physique, they should be able to free dive for half an hour without any problem.

Simply jumping into the water is tantamount to voluntarily entering Leviathan's home turf. No... the entire Greenland ice sea is her home turf, so whether she goes into the water or not doesn't seem to make much difference.

The only problem is that they don't have scuba gear or oxygen tanks. Even if they can hold their breath, they're not fish-men, so they have to get up to breathe every now and then, lest the whole sea freeze over.

Old Tang wanted to think, but it was too late. The white shrubs covering the mountains and plains were growing rapidly toward them, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Whether to become an ice sculpture or face the giant whale and Leviathan underwater, it seems like you're choosing how you die; the only difference is probably which one dies first and which one dies later.

Fingel was already taking off his clothes. He was incredibly quick and soon he was down to his underwear, yelling, "Hurry up, there's no time!"

Even a hybrid's physique would suffer from being directly exposed to extremely low temperatures. Fingel's entire body turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and he shivered incessantly. The next moment, he had turned into a white splash in the sea.

Old Tang gritted his teeth and unzipped his winter coat, leaping out. At that moment, he was incredibly grateful that he had once participated in a winter swimming marathon out of boredom. Although he didn't win any prizes and was frozen stiff, at least he didn't have to worry about not being able to swim.

The frigid air currents enveloped Lao Tang, and in the seconds before he fell into the water, his whole body was covered with white ice crystals. After plunging into the icy sea, he actually felt a slight warmth.

He plunged headlong into the deep sea, white ice crystals growing rapidly downwards behind him. Within seconds, a thick layer of ice formed on the surface of the water that had just been exposed.

Old Tang dove for more than ten meters before avoiding the wildly growing ice clusters. The sea was now his warm coat, and his heart beat slowly, sending heat to every part of his body.

The seawater was as clear as glass, and the bright, cool moonlight shone down, illuminating the surrounding ice clusters, which resembled bushes, but growing upside down.

Old Tang spotted Finger wriggling in the water. This guy was clearly a freediving expert, moving as nimbly as a fish in the water, quickly heading in a certain direction.

Old Tang's mind went blank, and he instinctively swam towards Fingel. Before the oxygen in his lungs ran out, he was pulled by a strong arm. Fingel lifted him up, and they crawled into a crevice, where icy air rushed in.

The crack was nearly half a meter wide and stretched as far as the eye could see. Through the ice above, one could vaguely see the dark sky, indicating that the ice above was not thick. If they had ice axes, they might have even been able to dig a hole in the ice.

“Where’s Kazama Ruri?” Fingel asked loudly.

Old Tang stared blankly and exclaimed "Ah!" before realizing that someone seemed to be missing. He suddenly exclaimed, "Damn it, she didn't seem to have jumped down!"

The whale calls in their ears suddenly became more excited, and the two realized that not only had the girl not come down, but neither had the whale, including Leviathan.

Fingel suddenly looked up and peered through the shallow ice onto the water's surface. Sure enough, he saw that slender figure holding a scarlet knife, facing the bitter cold!

He finally realized, his eyes widening: "She...she's going to face Leviathan alone!"

Chapter 142 Battle against the Dragon King!

Yuan Zhinü did not go into the water.

At crucial moments, Fingel, who is usually a carefree and irresponsible guy, turned out to be the most reliable. He could even come up with a solution to this dead end. I wonder how much preparation he made before coming to Greenland.

But Yuan Zhinv also knew that if they jumped into the water together, they would have no chance of winning against Leviathan underwater. They would just die a little later and become a small snack to fill the gaps in the giant whale's teeth instead of turning into an ice sculpture.

It was only after getting rid of those two troublesome guys that Yuan Zhinü was able to completely unleash her potential, as she always remembered the purpose of her visit.

Leviathan did not continue to incubate, and naturally there was no more fetal blood. But judging from what she said herself, she had prepared an incubation site for herself. Does that mean that she was ready to cocoon again and nurture the dragon body?

Since that's the case, then kill her and send her to be reborn in a cocoon; then we'll have the fetal blood.

So what if she can't beat it in the simulator? She has to try to find out, especially since she has no other choice.

Taking a gamble might offer a sliver of hope, but fleeing and giving up means certain death.

Anyway, she had already made all the mental preparations before coming here, and even made arrangements for her funeral, so what was there to hesitate about?

Grip the knife tightly and just slash at whatever's in front of you. The worst that can happen is you die!

Death is not scary at all. At least she tried until the very last moment. Such a glorious death is even honorable. So what is there to be afraid of?

An overwhelming chill swept in, and endless icicles rose from the ground. Genji leaped high into the air, narrowly avoiding the terrifying thrust. Her crimson longsword blazed, and she slashed fiercely at the enormous shadow beneath the ice.

As the longsword fell, the ice layer split open, and a huge ice crevice appeared out of thin air. In an instant, it stretched to be hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide, with jagged ice cliffs on both sides.

The surging seawater churned and crashed against the ice cliff with a dull thud. The giant whale suddenly leaped out of the water, and the girl standing on the whale's head waved to Yuan Zhinv.

Yuan Zhinv felt a chill rush towards her, and white ice crystals quickly climbed up her limbs. Before she could react, she was frozen solid, becoming yet another lifelike statue on the vast ice sheet.

Old Tang and Fingel in the water were dumbfounded by what they saw. This monstrous girl actually seemed so vulnerable when facing Leviathan!

Old Tang's eyes reddened almost instantly. He subconsciously wanted to shout out, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a hand firmly covered his mouth.

Fingel's eyes widened, and he whispered in his ear, "Don't talk, just keep watching!"

Old Tang then realized that things were not as simple as he had thought.

At first, only the crimson blade ignited with blood-red flames, melting the ice crystals on its surface, and countless white wisps of steam rose upwards.

Immediately following, a slight cracking sound rang out, and the ice crystals enveloping the girl's body began to crack, with countless fine fissures appearing like a dense spider web. Finally, it shattered suddenly, revealing inside... a hideous monster.

Pale scales once again covered her entire body, cracking sounds echoing incessantly. Genji's body grew larger at an astonishing speed, and fine white scales, arranged like a flower inflorescence, covered her delicate and soft face, centered on the tip of her nose.

The bulging muscles and inhuman joints formed a bewitching and beautiful dragon body. The girl slowly straightened up, and her hands and feet turned into sharp claws. Two pale bone spurs protruded from her back.

With a powerful heartbeat, the bone spurs grew rapidly, eventually becoming a pair of terrifying, enormous bone wings. Flesh and blood quickly grew and covered them, eventually becoming a pair of huge, pale wings.

Yuan Zhinü suddenly spread her wings and stretched her body in the air. Fingel and Old Tang stared blankly at this scene, watching the girl in their memories turn into a towering creature that was nearly two meters tall and had never been seen before.

She was enveloped in a faint, shimmering light, her head and horns were menacing, yet she was elegant and graceful, her charming features radiating solemnity. Her powerful body exuded strength, placing her somewhere between an angel and a demon. She floated in the air like a giant cross, the reflections on her scales illuminating the darkness.

Leviathan, standing atop the giant whale, finally changed her expression upon seeing this scene. The ice-cold girl, who had seemed devoid of emotion throughout, slightly raised her eyebrows, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes.

"A next-generation species of the White King lineage? No, you're clearly a human... Have you embarked on the path of evolution?"

Leviathan murmured softly, his tone tinged with admiration: "In all these years, very few humans have reached this point."

“But…” she paused, a mocking smile playing on her lips, “that’s not enough.”

Yuan Zhinü ignored Leviathan's voice; she could hear her own heart pounding like a war drum and feel the terrifying power coursing through her limbs.

Taking a deep breath, her scales rose and fell gently with her breathing. Genji raised the crimson longsword, which was now engulfed in blazing crimson flames and had extended several meters in length, transforming into a true weapon of death.

The longsword swung down heavily, unparalleled terrifying power mixed with scarlet flames descending straight towards Leviathan. The flames were clearly burning, yet they had no temperature whatsoever; wherever they passed, there was extreme cold and an absolute killing intent.

"A trial?"

Leviathan tilted her head, and with a slight clench of her raised hand, the terrifying power instantly dissolved, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a sound.

"Are you trying to take the life of the Throne of Life?"

The girl's soft laughter echoed above the ice, carrying undisguised mockery and sarcasm.

The surging seawater churned, and the giant whale raised its head and let out a loud roar. The petite figure stood barefoot on the giant whale's head, as if a monarch sat on her throne.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and slowly walked down from the top of the whale's head.

With each step she took, seawater surged and condensed into ice flowers beneath her feet, while snowflakes danced in the air. She came treading through the snow, like a god who controlled extreme cold and ice, bringing bitter cold wherever she went.

Leviathan stretched out her hand, and countless drops of seawater condensed, instantly transforming into a jet-black longsword in her hand, crystal clear and gleaming with an eerie cold light.

"So, who do you think you are to judge me?"

A brilliant, molten gold light ignited in Leviathan's eyes. She slowly raised her longsword and casually swung it towards the pale figure in the air.

As she moved, an extremely eerie and terrifying cold current appeared out of nowhere. This cold current was like the breath of death from hell, sweeping in with overwhelming force.

Wherever the cold front reached, the sea surface for several kilometers quickly froze. The surging waves seemed to be frozen in an instant, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures that exuded coldness.

The once sparkling seawater instantly froze into an indestructible layer of ice, the patterns on the ice surface resembling ancient runes.

The cold wave swept in so quickly that Genji had no time to dodge, nor could she dodge it, because it was the authority of the gods!

Those hard, pale scales, which could even stop bullets, exploded the moment they came into contact with the extreme cold, flesh cracked from the cold, and even bones melted.

But in the instant that his flesh and blood tore apart, Orochi's ruthless healing ability quickly took effect, and the broken bone seams were repaired by newly generated cartilage cells, with a continuous stream of blood cells dividing to produce new blood.

But as soon as the wound healed, the newly formed cells and tissues were killed by the cold again in an instant. The two forces were fighting each other, and life continued to slip away.

The numbness brought by the extreme cold swept through all of Genji's nerves in an instant. If she hadn't activated Orochi's strongest state from the beginning, she would probably have instantly turned into a pool of flesh and blood without any chance to resist or even release her Word of Power. This was absolute bloodline suppression.

Even though she's trying her best now, it seems to be having no effect.

Clenching her teeth to support her body, Yuan Zhinü tasted a strong metallic taste of blood in her mouth. It seemed that fresh blood was overflowing from her mouth and nose, and her pale body was completely stained crimson with blood.

She finally realized the immense gap between them; even if Leviathan's incubation was interrupted and it was reduced to a juvenile human form, it was still far beyond what her current bloodline could handle.

but,

So what?

It's just death!

Forcibly suppressing all the pain, Genjiro flapped her blood-stained wings and pounced towards the petite figure, raising her blood-red longsword and then slashing it down fiercely.

If trials are ineffective against Leviathan, then there's no need for trials!

If your bloodline is suppressed, then fight back fiercely before you are completely melted into a pool of flesh and blood!

Who cares what's standing in front of me? As long as I can still wield the knife, I'll just swing it hard!

At that moment, Genji cast aside all distracting thoughts, and only that petite figure remained in her brilliant golden eyes. She let out a hoarse roar like a wild beast, and her blood-red longsword drew a cold arc as it fell towards the arrogant god who was high above.

Faced with such a fierce offensive, Leviathan's mockery only intensified, as if he were looking at a mayfly trying to shake a tree, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot with its bare arms.

Leviathan casually raised his hand, and instantly, countless layers of ice shattered, and mountains of seawater roared up, forming a massive tsunami.

Before the pale figure stained with blood could even get close to her, it was violently slammed away by the waves and crashed heavily onto the dark ice, sending countless shards of ice flying everywhere.

Leviathan walked barefoot on the sea, countless ice flowers blooming beneath her feet, while the giant whale followed closely behind her, like the most loyal guard.

"Not bad recovery ability." The girl's voice was nonchalant as she walked step by step toward the crawling Yuan Zhinu on the ice, her majestic golden eyes filled with contempt.

"If it's cut into small pieces, can it still be restored?"

"Why don't we give it a try?"

Chapter 143 The temperature of the icy sea rose instantly.

The main campus of Kassel College, Illinois, USA.

Late at night, the central control room on the second floor of the library was brightly lit.

Schneider stood in front of a giant 3D projection, with a 5-meter-tall virtual Earth floating in front of him. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Earth would quickly rotate to the position he wanted to see.

It felt like God was manipulating His creation, giving one a sense of unbridled power and the joy of having power in one's hands.

Schneider remained expressionless, for he was already used to such things. Beside him sat a drowsy Guderian and a man Stein who was writing furiously.

Professors on duty are usually in groups of three to be able to handle various emergencies.
