I'm not just human!

……

At the same time.

Beyond Gilgamesh.

This is a beautiful, ecologically rich, and enormous planet comparable in size to a supernova.

In terms of size alone, it is only slightly smaller than life-bearing planets like Caligia, which are the most powerful and advanced planets in the universe and have terrestrial god kingdoms.

But at this moment, in the void outside the planet, amidst the desolate and lonely cosmic sky, a chilling aura permeated the air.

There were dozens of members of the Gilgamesh family, led by three extraordinary monarchs, dragging a Skyfire Star Dragon whose size was comparable to a towering mountain, preparing to return to their home planet.

However, between this group of people and their own planet, an uninvited guest blocked their way.

They were a group of exceptionally robust humans, but each of them had several or dozens of dragon scales on their faces. Some were ruby-colored, some looked like they were carved from millennia-old ice, and others shone with a chilling metallic gleam.

Even the heads of these humans had slight bulges, giving the impression that dragon horns were about to grow.

The leading member of the Gilgamesh family, an elderly clansman, frowned slightly upon seeing this, and his tone was not very polite:

"Karulong, what do you want? This is outside our Gilgamesh family's inhabited planet. Do you really want to start a war with us?"

A young man named Karulong stepped forward. His face had only a few crimson dragon scales, but two cone-shaped dragon horns had already grown on his head, along with a thick head of long black hair, and his blood and energy were extremely vigorous.

“Amphion, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’re so old and still so impatient. Did I say we were going to rob you? We just want to buy from you. After all, you know how rare it is to encounter Star Dragons, no matter what kind they are.”

"purchase?"

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Gilgamesh family named Amphion almost lost control of his temper:

"You son of a bitch—never mind, I won't swear. How about this: if you can afford 10 billion gold pounds, I'll sell you this Skyfire Star Dragon."

Karulon raised an eyebrow, a cold glint in his eyes:

"So there's no room for negotiation?"

Upon hearing this, the people behind him almost stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, looking as if they were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Amphion's temple throbbed, and with a single grasp of his hand, a giant axe appeared. The axe was a full five meters long and extremely heavy, clearly containing some kind of sacred metal. The moment it appeared, even the void seemed unable to withstand it, and cracks appeared in its surface.

But Amphion carried it with one hand, his arm muscles bulging, as if it were not very strenuous.

"Come on, perfect timing. Let's cut open the bellies of your Starry Sky Dragon family's little brats one by one, like dissecting a traveling whale, and take out the Starry Sky Dragons inside, even if only corpses remain, hahaha."

Amphion laughed loudly and was about to raise his giant axe to launch the first attack.

A sinister smile crept across Karulon's lips as he spread his arms and his whole body trembled.

boom!!!

An immense, unbelievable supernatural power suddenly surged from Karulong's body, almost condensing into a tangible crimson flame.

His face was about to be covered with blood-red scales, the dragon horns on his forehead were growing rapidly, and the clothes on his back were being torn apart, from which dragon wings were about to grow.

But at that moment, a figure, an old figure wearing a magnificent seven-colored robe, appeared silently between the two groups of people.

The moment this figure appeared, an indescribable aura of a transcendent monarch spread out, and the blood-red flame-like transcendent power around Karulong dissipated with a "bang," and his Starry Sky Dragon form immediately stopped, even showing signs of shrinking back.

Karulong and the other members of the Star Dragon Clan looked at the aged figure with fear and stiffened.

Emperor Shalatu!

The head of the Gilgamesh family, the Holy Emperor of the Church of Paradox, Holy Emperor Sharatul, has actually arrived!

The members of the Star Dragon Clan, including Karulon, turned around and prepared to flee almost without hesitation.

The voice of Emperor Shalatu rang out at this moment, indifferent like that of a god:

"Since you dare to come looking for trouble, then you'll have to spend a few months in the extraordinary dungeon of our planet Gilgamesh."

As soon as he finished speaking, without any visible movement from Him, the fleeing figures of Karulong and the others suddenly stopped, and then began to spin in place.

Amphion and the other members of the Gilgamesh family clenched their fists secretly, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having vented their anger.

Clearly, with the head of the family taking action, he easily dragged Karulon and his arrogant young members of the Star Dragon Clan into the "eternity" of "eternal conditions"!

Emperor Shalatu gave him a look, then turned to leave, telling Amphion and the others to capture these Star Dragon Clan brats and take them to the Extraordinary Dungeon on Gilgamesh.

"Humph."

But just then, a faint, cold snort rang out.

A colossal dragon claw, as large as a mountain and even capable of blotting out the sky, came from the depths of the starry sky and directly covered the place where Saint Emperor Sharatu and others were!

That enormous dragon claw was actually filled with the aura of a mysterious emperor, which immediately made Amphion and the others stiffen up and unable to move at all.

Emperor Shalatu's gaze sharpened as he looked over. The space beneath the enormous dragon claw immediately distorted, and no matter how the dragon claw pressed down, it could not get close to the group.

"Nidhogg, what do you mean by this?"

Emperor Sharatu spoke, his tone growing increasingly cold.

"What do you mean? Sharatul, you captured members of our Starry Dragon Clan, and I'm not allowed to rescue them?"

In the starry sky, the figure of a middle-aged man emerged. His black hair was as thick as a waterfall, and his physique was extremely robust, as strong as a ferocious beast.

There wasn't a single dragon scale on its face, but the metallic dragon horns on its head had fully grown, almost identical in shape to the horns of the Skyfire Starry Sky Dragon next to it, only much smaller.

It is... Nidhogg, the head of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan!

This was none other than a mysterious emperor, but he had only signed twenty-five secret contracts, not the full thirty.

In fact, the Emperor of Secrets who has signed thirty secret contracts is also known as the Great Emperor of Secrets.

However, there are very few secret emperors in this world, far fewer than extraordinary monarchs, so few people use this title.

Fortunately, Nidhogg did not become the Mystic Emperor; otherwise, even the Holy Emperor Sharatul, who was a Grand Lord, would have been no match for him.

In particular, Nidhogg... is also the pope of the erroneous church, one of the nine major churches!

"I don't want to argue with you about these pointless things. Isn't it your Star Dragon Clan who came to our Gilgamesh planet to lie in wait and provoke us? I—"

Emperor Shalatu's gaze was icy. He had only spoken halfway when he seemed to sense something and turned to look at a place in the far distance.

Not only Him, but even Nidhogg sensed something and looked in the same direction as Emperor Sharatul.

That place... is the edge of the natural star field.

There is a black hole there.

And now, that black hole... actually...

Is it being slowly absorbed?

Chapter 257 The Transformation Through Physical Training: Xia Fa Starts Eating Secret Contracts? Wait, Secret Contracts can be eaten?

A family favored by the gods, as the name suggests, is a family that is blessed by the righteous gods.

The biggest difference between the divinely favored family and other extraordinary families is that... almost every head of the family holds the position of Pope or Patriarch of the nine major churches!

Therefore, both Emperor Sharatul and Pope Nidhogg had naturally heard of the "great being" that the Silver Church and the Absolute Church were earnestly seeking.

But since they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, the gods they each served only issued divine decrees, instructing them to search as much as possible, but also telling them not to rush.

Therefore, both Emperor Sharatul and Pope Nidhogg held a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter, wanting to find out but remaining hesitant.

Of course, a big reason is that it's too hard to find and too dangerous.

Haven't you seen how Patriarch Osius and Pope Hercules searched for so long and found nothing?

But at that very moment, just as Emperor Sharatul and Pope Nidhogg witnessed the black hole vanishing as rapidly as a sand dune swept away by a raging storm—

They finally understood why Patriarch Osius and Pope Hercules had been so frantically and fervently searching the entire universe for the traces of that "great being"!

This power...

"This must be power that surpasses the level of an Outer God, right? Although it's still far inferior to that of a True God, but..."

Pope Nidhogg murmured to himself. This middle-aged man with thick, black hair and metal dragon horns on his head, who was usually resolute and steadfast, was now unusually absent-minded.

Seeing that Holy Emperor Sharatul did not respond to Him, and of course He did not expect Holy Emperor Sharatul to respond, Pope Nidhogg casually grabbed and immediately rescued the young people of the Star Dragon Clan who were trapped by the "Eternal Conditions," and brought them back to His side.

Although they were rescued, the young people, led by Karulong, remained stunned, as if they hadn't yet reacted.

Because... they were all staring at the edge of that natural star field in the far distance, at a black hole that had already dissipated by a small portion.

"Uncle, is this the work of an Outer God? Why... is reality not corrupted?"

Karulon murmured a question in a daze. Pope Nidhogg was His father's older brother, so He usually addressed him as "Uncle".

On the other hand, the young master of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan is none other than Norton Dragon, the younger brother of Karulong. Therefore, Karulong holds a highly respected position within the Starry Sky Dragon Clan.

Upon hearing Karulon's question, Pope Nidhogg shook his head and sighed:

"Do you remember the great being I told you about?"

Karu's dragon-tiger body trembled:

"This...this is that great being...holding another ascension ceremony?"

Pope Nidhogg nodded slightly.

"Being able to absorb such a massive black hole with ease, without causing any real-world pollution, now you understand why this being is called a 'great being,' right?"

The young people of the Starry Sky Dragon Clan nodded in awe, as if they were shocked by the miracle, and at the same time, they listened to the words of the patriarch.

At this moment, Emperor Shalatu's gaze seemed to span countless light-years as he looked at the black hole at the edge of the natural star field, which had already dissipated by half.

The Natural Star Region, adjacent to the Wright Star Region, is also one of the major star regions in the universe.

In the natural star field, there are three inhabited planets, each possessing an earthly divine kingdom established by three righteous gods: [Error Rules], [Temporary Reality], and [First History].

This is also the biggest reason why the natural star field can become one of the most prosperous star fields in the universe.

But at this moment, who could have imagined that the unknown "great being" who always held the various steps of the ascension ceremony in the Wright Starfield would actually... suddenly come to the Natural Starfield?

"Could it be that this great being came here specifically for this black hole?"

Emperor Sharatu murmured, his face still showing shock, but his eyes were thoughtful.

Anfion, who had been standing respectfully behind the head of the family, also agreed:

"Possibly, after all, this black hole is one of the largest black holes in our star system."

This black hole is called the Huyogi Black Hole; just hearing the name tells you how huge it must be.
