Di Tian's Grave Injuries

Little Paimon: ???????

What?

A dragon wanted to seek refuge with Silent Bottle?

Let her think.

What had Silent Bottle done?

He had wiped out the Dragon King Nibelung and the seven great elemental dragons.

This was as absurd as a mouse seeking refuge with a cat and guarding its door. It was absurd beyond belief.

"Ant, do not overstep!"

Before Di Tian could finish speaking, the Ruler of Death burst through the air and slapped him.

????????

Di Tian's face was full of question marks.

What the hell???

The next moment, Di Tian felt his body hurtle backward like a cannonball, disappearing over the horizon.

Qian Renxue, who stood nearby: "..."

That was terrifying.

That was a dragon.

A dragon from the legends.

She had read about how powerful dragons were in ancient texts. A single dragon could easily destroy a human city.

And he had been slapped flying by His subordinate.

The Ruler of Death said, "Without a summons by the Lord's decree, irrelevant ants may not overstep!"

The Titled Douluo-level spies near Raiden Restaurant...

That was right. Ever since Raiden Ei's identity had been exposed, and given that She often came here for tea...

The customers who came here were mostly spies from the major factions, and all of them had to be at the Titled Douluo level.

Because anyone below Titled Douluo couldn't withstand Raiden Ei's cooking.

The Titled Douluo spies: "..."

That was a dragon.

Though they didn't know just how strong a dragon was...

Surely, one would have no trouble slapping them to death.

Yet in His subordinate's words, even dragons were ants.

Then what did that make them, who couldn't even defeat a dragon? Were they worse than ants?

Qian Daoliu, who had followed along: "..."

Good grief.

In His eyes, one needed to be as strong as a dragon just to qualify as an ant.

How strong was a dragon? Even if it hadn't become a god, it was probably not far from doing so.

If Qian Renxue hadn't said she wanted to visit Him, he really wouldn't have wanted to come.

Keeping company with a ruler was like keeping company with a tiger.

Tang San had merely wanted to capture Little Paimon, yet His subordinate, the Ruler of Death, had placed the Curse of Immortality on him.

If they happened to displease Him...

His wrath...

Even their Spirit Hall couldn't withstand it.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yuena looked at the information on the heavenly screen, her expression grim.

Because of His appearance and that of the heavenly screen, the Douluo God Realm's attention was focused on Him and the screen, so she no longer had to hide.

"Just because the Hydro Archon violated the rules He laid down on her own initiative and turned Fontaine's Oceanids into humans, He placed a curse that would dissolve all the people of Fontaine into water."

Behind Gu Yuena, Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and the other Ferocious Beasts looked at one another.

That was far too cruel.

Back then, the Dragon God had led his remaining forces into war against the Douluo God Realm and killed four of its elemental First-Level Gods in succession.

Yet the Douluo God Realm's punishment for the Soul Beast Clan had only been to permanently block Soul Beasts' path to godhood and strip the Soul Beast Clan of all the divine positions they already held.

The Golden Dragon King's power had been sealed in the Divine Realm's forbidden core, where it was kept under strict guard.

That Hydro Archon had merely used stolen authority to turn the Oceanids of Fontaine into humans, and He had placed upon them...

A terrible curse that would turn every last person in Fontaine into water.

Compared like this...

Gu Yuena felt that the Douluo God Realm didn't seem quite so hateful anymore.

"I told you, we'd be better off staying away from Him, right?" Xiong Jun said, folding his two paws over his chest.

Slaughter City.

"Damn, now that's real evil."

"That's right. Compared to Him, we're practically as good as saints."

"We thought we were evil enough, burning, killing, and looting, but He's even more ruthless. Just because Fontaine broke His rules, He placed a curse that would destroy an entire nation!"

"We have nothing to say. So this is what true evil looks like."

The fallen ones all sighed in wonder. Their Slaughter City looked very, very cruel, with the strong free to bully the weak as they pleased.

After seeing what He had done, they felt like green recruits when it came to evil.

Just because one person had violated His rules, He had placed a curse that could destroy an entire nation.

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Di Tian's body flew on and on like a meteor, until he finally smashed into a small hill not far from the Lake of Life, leaving an enormous crater.

"Pfft."

Di Tian got to his feet, trembling.

His throat burned, and a mouthful of golden dragon blood sprayed from his mouth.

His breath was extremely faint. He was only one step away from death.

Disbelief filled his eyes.

He knew His subordinates were terrifying, but knowing it and experiencing it firsthand were two entirely different things.

He was only one step away from godhood himself, yet now an enormous palm print marred his chest, with stark white bones visible to the naked eye.

A mere light slap from His subordinate, the Ruler of Death, had nearly killed him.

He had never suffered injuries like this even during the Dragon God War.

Bi Ji and the others nearby were filled with lingering fear.

Di Tian's strength ranked among the very best of their ten great Ferocious Beasts. He alone was strong enough to fight the other nine combined.

If the Silver Dragon King didn't intervene, Di Tian was invincible on the Douluo Continent.

Yet even an existence like him had nearly been killed by a single casual slap from His subordinate, the Ruler of Death.

The strength on His side was terrifying.

"My Lord, He doesn't seem to like dragons," Di Tian said to Gu Yuena before he nearly passed out.

The Ruler of Death's words kept echoing in his mind: "Ant!"

That single word filled Di Tian with profound despair. He finally understood that, compared with His subordinate, the Ruler of Death, they existed on entirely different levels, like ants before an elephant.

If Gu Yuena hadn't treated him in time, he would probably have gone to meet the Dragon God early.

"Di Tian, focus on recovering first."

"There's no hurry concerning Him."

Gu Yuena spoke.

At the same time, she felt deeply relieved that He had only had His subordinate slap Di Tian away.

He hadn't given their Soul Beast Clan the same treatment as Fontaine.

Now that the Five Great God Kings of the Douluo God Realm were afflicted by the Curse of Immortality, the Asura God King's cultivation had fallen to that of a Second-Level God.

This situation wasn't bad for their Soul Beast Clan.

What puzzled her was what grudge existed between their Dragon Clan and Him, and why He disliked them.

(The former Hydro Archon Egeria followed Him to Kairuiya and died there.)

(Before she died, the former Hydro Archon Egeria entrusted the Gnosis, the Hydro Archon's divine position, and Fontaine's original sin to me, who was still a familiar at the time, and then perished in the Vourukasha Oasis!)
