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

It approached at full speed like a cruiser, and after getting close to the figure hovering in the air, it suddenly swung its tail in the water, and its huge body, accompanied by towering waves, slammed into Genji's back.

This is the only place where the black sun has not completely covered the area.

A mountain-like force struck the hideous figure hard from behind, instantly snapping off its wings. Genji fell from the sky, landing on the cracked glacier.

The terrifying power destroyed all of Genji's internal organs in an instant, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. But just as her internal organs ruptured, Orochi quickly recovered, and its cells rapidly divided to heal its wounds.

The giant whale did not give up. It suddenly dived into the deepest part of the water and swam upwards at full speed. When it got close to Genji, it suddenly turned around and swung its tail.

It is attempting to destroy the Black Sun's territory in this barbaric way.

Yuan Zhinü did not turn around, even as her internal organs ruptured time and time again, and her enormous bone wings twisted and contorted into bizarre shapes.

Because she knew that Black Sun was her only means of dealing with Leviathan. Against this monarch who controlled the throne of life, Orochi and Judgment were ineffective. Only Black Sun could perfectly counter Leviathan's extreme cold.

Once this domain is shattered, Leviathan will never again be so careless as to approach and give her another chance. At that time, the situation will be reversed again. However, the giant whale is clearly aware of this and is attacking even more frantically.

"Damn fish!" Fingel, who had also seen the situation clearly, cursed angrily. He turned to Old Tang and said urgently, "I have to go help. You should leave now. Every one of us who can survive is a lifesaver."

Old Tang stared blankly at him, but before he could even speak, Fingel suddenly leaped out from the crack in the ice. He was only wearing those ridiculous underwear, but he was holding that short blade tightly in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, the short blade swelled into a strangely curved longsword, which he slashed fiercely at the giant whale that was leaping out of the water once more.

With a single strike, the colossal whale, as large as a mountain, was slammed into the water. A huge wound was slashed into its body, and black flames spread instantly, scorching the flesh and blood at the wound site. A strong, acrid smell filled the air.

The giant whale let out a high-pitched roar as if in anger, and spewed an extremely cold storm at Fingel.

Fingel dodged awkwardly, his body turning greenish and covered in a layer of frost due to the extreme cold, vividly illustrating what it means to be an eggplant struck by autumn frost, seemingly unable to hold on for long.

But he never retreated an inch, tenaciously guarding the weakness behind Genji's back, and repeatedly cutting down the giant whale that tried to launch a sneak attack.

Genji was not unaware of the urgency of the situation, but no matter how hard she swung her sword, the Leviathan's wounds, however horrific, would heal instantly, its regenerative abilities even surpassing those of Genji when she used Orochi.

Although she was affected by the Black Sun's domain, she didn't seem to be in a hurry; she didn't even use her Word of Power.

"I admit, I underestimated you. You have reached the limits that humans cannot achieve." Despite being surrounded by raging winds and flames, Leviathan's voice remained calm and unhurried, and her gaze toward Genjiro showed a hint of admiration.

"But... if that's all, it's not enough."

Surprisingly, Genjiro nodded in response to her words: "It's indeed not enough."

She suddenly stopped swinging her sword, turned around, grabbed the frozen, green-tinged Fingel, and threw him into the sea.

Fingel was completely caught off guard. He choked on several mouthfuls of water as he was surrounded by seawater, and Old Tang quickly pulled him up before he realized what had happened. He quickly surfaced and saw a scene that made his pupils shrink.

The instant Genji turned around, a long sword made entirely of black ice pierced her chest from behind. This time, however, Orochi's regenerative power had no effect. This monarch who ruled the throne of life seemed to possess an ability similar to judgment, capable of taking away life.

The dragon bone state gradually dissipated, the bone wings slowly retracted and the scales gradually disappeared, the golden eyes completely dimmed, and Yuan Zhi Nu returned to her original appearance. Her face was deathly pale, without a trace of blood, and seemed to be tinged with a bluish-black death aura. Her thin figure swayed precariously.

But she didn't turn around, as if she had known this would happen all along. Leviathan tilted her head slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Yuan Zhinu looked at Old Tang in the sea not far away and said softly, "Please tell Xiao Mu that I'm sorry."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around abruptly, ignoring the long knife cutting through her body, and hugged the petite girl behind her.

Almost at the same moment, the five dark suns that blotted out the sky suddenly trembled violently, as if they were about to collapse. Countless terrifying forces formed a huge force field, firmly controlling everything within the field.

The strongest black sun only goes out of control when its manipulator dies. The domain collapses and the black sun crumbles. Genji doesn't know if this will kill Leviathan, but she will never be able to emerge unscathed again.

Since we've already given it our all, accepting death is a grand ending, so let's stop here.

Upon seeing this scene, Fingel suddenly understood something, and he roared angrily, "Don't do anything foolish!"

No one paid him any attention. Yuan Zhinü held the girl tightly to prevent her from struggling, and at the same time closed her eyes wearily. With her movements, the terrifying domain trembled violently, and the force field became increasingly large, seemingly about to go out of control.

Old Tang stared blankly at the scene, feeling as if a fire was burning inside him. A picture seemed to flash through his mind, and something seemed to be chasing after him.

Once upon a time, it seemed that there was a similar high temperature and force field. He stood in the collapsed area, with countless people rushing towards him.

Those people had bloodshot eyes, and their resentment was almost overflowing. They shouted for battle and killed, like moths drawn to a flame.

What a terrifying scene it was! It was a hell that would give any ordinary person a nightmare just by looking at it. A child's innocent voice gently rang in my ears.

"Brother, there are many people outside."

"Brother, will we die?"

"Brother, I'm not afraid when I'm with you..."

"Brother...we're going to die..."

Old Tang remembered everything.

What followed him was memory.

Just as that terrifying domain was about to explode, an intense heat descended from the sky, instantly compressing the Black Sun's domain and stopping its impending loss of control.

Blazing flames rose into the night sky around the man's body, exploding high in the air as if wings were spreading out.

Chapter 145 Long Time No See

As her consciousness faded, Genji knew she was about to die; she had never been so close to death.

There was no pain, no sadness, just a slight regret. If I had known I couldn't go back, I should have said goodbye properly when I left.

I wonder if that silly girl Xiaomu will ever listen and find a good family. Maybe she shouldn't have allowed her to stay in the first place, letting that silly girl mistakenly believe that as long as she kept waiting, she would eventually be able to clear everything and return to a normal life.

But those three years in Tokyo were so cold. If it weren't for the girl's warm companionship, she might have collapsed long ago. How could she have made it this far?

But this ending... I still feel a little unwilling.

The dark sun, which blotted out the sky, suddenly trembled. As her breathing grew weaker and weaker, the slow-moving Milky Way began to accelerate. The dark sun was pulling hundreds of tons of seawater towards her, which then turned into a torrential rain and poured down behind her.

The girl's eyes were lowered, and she was as calm as a saint or a Buddha with a halo.

The crimson longsword, which had almost never left his side since he acquired it, finally slipped from his grasp and struck the ice with a crisp sound.

Just before she lost consciousness, she saw blazing flames and a man burning in them.

Just as the simulator predicted, Old Tang awakened in the last moment before her death.

Immediately following was a terrifying domain descending from the sky, forcefully suppressing the black sun that was about to go out of control. This was tantamount to forcibly gathering a bomb that had already begun to explode. Leviathan looked up and saw endless flames falling with a torrent of water!

The girl, who hadn't reacted much from beginning to end and seemed confident of victory, frowned deeply. She suddenly broke free from the already powerless embrace and retreated rapidly.

The flames fell into the sea, bringing up countless white steam, like a fog. In that billowing white steam, Genji fell backward, with the endless black sea behind her.

She had no strength left to move. Feeling her body sinking, she slowly closed her eyes.

Just as she was about to fall into the water, a scorching heat suddenly approached, and her vision seemed to become extremely bright, as if there was a ball of fire in front of her, and something was supporting her falling body.

But she could no longer open her eyes; her consciousness vanished rapidly, just like her life, which also passed away quickly.

She finally succumbed to complete darkness, and in her last moments of consciousness, an indescribable warmth seemed to flow into her lungs, which had been completely numb from the extreme cold.

Old Tang silently and gently placed the completely unconscious Yuan Zhinü onto a relatively thick layer of ice. Someone was rapidly approaching from behind, but he did not turn around.

Fingel watched the man engulfed in flames warily, standing at a distance from him with a guarded expression.

The man's appearance hadn't changed at all, yet he seemed like a completely different person. His whole body was ablaze with flames, as if he were wearing a fiery cloak. His once bewildered eyes, which were usually clueless, were now shining like gold, full of majesty.

Fingel was unaware of Old Tang's identity. When Yuan Zhi Nu brought him here, she didn't introduce him, only casually saying "friend" and that she was familiar with the terrain.

Fingel also found it strange that he would bring along a useless friend to such an important event.

However, under his observation, Old Tang showed no abnormalities. He was even considered weak among hybrids, not very intelligent, and didn't even have any incantations.

Fingel could never understand why Genji had brought him along, until this moment.

"who are you?"

Old Tang didn't answer him. He didn't even bother to look at him. Instead, he turned around and fixed his gaze on Leviathan, who had retreated to a distance.

The giant whale paced restlessly around Leviathan, causing waves to surge. The massive creature seemed to sense the unease, and the temperature of the entire icy sea was rising, with countless layers of ice melting and cracking open.

Leviathan, too, had her gaze fixed on the man.

The flames burned fiercely, and the figure of a man could be vaguely seen within them. He looked at Leviathan and finally spoke his first words.

His slightly hoarse voice carried a hint of emotion, as if he were reuniting with an old friend.

"Long time no see, little sister."

"I didn't attack you, so why are you awake?" Leviathan tilted her head slightly, seemingly puzzled. "Who is she to you?"

She had indeed known Old Tang's identity all along, perhaps from the moment he set foot in Greenland.

So initially she didn't want conflict, but rather wanted them to leave.

Even after the fight broke out, she never did anything to Old Tang. She only wanted to kill Genjiro and Fingel, who had destroyed her hatchery and killed her dragon servant.

She knew that her brother would inevitably awaken when faced with a life-threatening situation, and she didn't want to clash with him, as that might cause her long-planned scheme to go awry and even break her vow, resulting in a backlash.

She never expected that even so, he would suddenly awaken.

This shouldn't have happened. They're just two humans. In their eyes, humans have always been the enemy, and they're so weak and ridiculous. What's the difference between them and ants?

Leviathan couldn't understand why a man who was also a god would care about the life or death of two ants.

So she asked from the bottom of her heart, "They're just two humans, why do you care?"

The man slowly raised his head amidst the flames, his pupils burning with a brilliant gold. Old Tang's honest and comical face had completely vanished; now, the man's face seemed as if the earth itself could crack, with lava flowing through the fissures.

He slowly raised his hand, and countless flames surged and exploded with his movement. The man felt the surging power in his body, but a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Because he didn't know why either.

He is the King of Bronze and Fire, a god who reigns supreme, a cruel tyrant. The moment he awoke, he should have immediately killed all the human witnesses, then smashed his sister, who dared to provoke him, into the ice, and finally burned the ice along with her into nothingness.

But as he watched that frail figure fall, a voice seemed to roar in his heart, saying no, so he instinctively rushed forward.

That was Old Tang's voice, that was his own voice.

The unawakened Dragon King will mistakenly believe that he is human because he has always lived in human society. When his memories suddenly return one day, he will completely discard his human identity, along with his friends, relatives, and lovers.

When he awoke as the Dragon King, he was actually dead as a human. This was something the man had experienced more than once.

But perhaps because he had just awakened, and as a human being he was not completely dead and his humanity had not completely vanished, watching that figure fall like a flower withering, the man suddenly felt inexplicably angry, as if a god had been disobeyed.

He didn't allow her to die, how dare she kill her!

The man was furious, even if the one who defied him was another god!

He roared suddenly, and countless flames instantly exploded, casting an orange-red shadow over the dim world.

Endless flames, carrying boundless rage, slammed down on the petite girl standing barefoot on the ice. The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate:
