The Revived Demon Dragon

At that moment, a golden light suddenly appeared beside the two gods. It shattered in an instant, turning into specks of golden radiance that dissipated before the Asura God.

The words on the Asura God's lips were swallowed back. "How is that possible?"

The Sea God asked in confusion, "What happened?"

The Asura God clicked his tongue irritably. "There's a world called the Five Elements Continent. I sent God of Slaughter Xiuprosi there on a mission, but he was killed instead. I have to go take a look."

The Sea God was greatly startled. "Even an enforcer under your command was killed? What kind of strength does the other side possess?"

Suddenly, a black-and-white two-colored beam descended from the heavens. "Lord Asura God, the two God Kings request your presence."

It seemed there was no time left.

Before leaving, the Asura God raised his hand and swept out a streak of blood-colored light, enveloping Poseidon. "Poseidon, I'll leave Douluo Star to you. The Asura Blood Soul can temporarily conceal your aura. If anything truly unexpected happens, go help Tang San yourself!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-and-white radiance instantly expanded and engulfed the Asura God. The next moment, he vanished from before the Sea God.

Yet the final instruction he had left behind filled the latter with confusion.

"I really don't understand Asura... Even if that golden-haired girl regains her strength, could she possibly defeat Tang San now that he has inherited both our god positions? She's merely an Angel God. Is it really necessary for me to descend to the lower realm and cover for—"

Poseidon's words came to an abrupt halt. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a scene in the light mirror that left him utterly dumbfounded. In the mere ten seconds or so that had passed, the projection before him had changed completely!

Crack!!

Having crushed three golden halos with her bare hand, Sirin gazed at the utterly flustered Tang San with a half-smile. A mocking curve lifted at her lips.

"Using a technique based on spatial principles against the Herrscher of the Void... that's truly idiotic."

Bang!!

An invisible gale swept past. Tang San only felt an immense force crash into him, sending his entire body flying uncontrollably before he slammed heavily into the ground. After crawling out of the crater and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, he did not dare linger. He hurriedly beat the Sea God Eight Wings and returned to the sky.

Sirin rolled her neck and lowered her raised left fist. "You're pretty tough..."

"Who... exactly are you?!" Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, enunciating every word. "Why are you helping Qian Renxue? Helping the utterly evil Spirit Hall Empire? What is your purpose?!"

"Hehe..."

Sirin merely smiled and offered no further explanation.

However, every soldier below witnessed their battle. In particular, "Qian Renxue" had effortlessly sent Sea God Tang San flying just moments ago, causing the soldiers of the Spirit Hall Empire to erupt once more.

They did not understand the realms of gods. They only knew that their young mistress held the upper hand, that she had recovered her strength. This was their god!!

The corners of Sirin's lips curled up, and a reverberating voice echoed across the battlefield. "Crush them for your Queen!!"

"Kill—!!"

Inspired by their young mistress, the morale of the Spirit Hall Empire's troops surged again. The hope that had been extinguished only moments earlier and the faith that had crumbled were restored to their hearts, leaving them fearless before any enemy.

Sirin was so delighted that she could scarcely close her mouth. Her power surged once again without warning, and the tattered, bloodstained gown on this body swayed in the wind as dense dark-purple light enveloped her!

Moments later, a brand-new black, white, and purple combat outfit replaced it. A ring of pitch-black ink feathers around the collar protected her neck, while golden ornaments accentuated the Queen's nobility. Black Silk stockings wrapped around her long, slender legs, and as her gold-soled high heels stepped through the air, faint ripples spread through space.

A faint smile rested on the Honkai Queen's face, yet it looked especially wicked and cold. The proud woman lifted her noble head and looked down upon all living things!

"So this is the authority Xue Ling lent me? It's truly wonderful..."

Sirin looked over the familiar combat outfit, her orange-gold pupils brimming with fervor and a trace of longing. She gently caressed the black-and-gold ornament at her chest, and the intoxication in her eyes deepened. "Power... is emerging..."

Sharp dark-gold light flickered through the Honkai Queen's eyes as she swept her gaze over the battlefield. At last, it settled upon a figure who appeared especially frail amid the sky-shaking battle cries.

She reached out and clenched her hand in the air, seizing a purple fox that had been frightened half out of her wits by the throat and lifting her before herself.

"Y-Your Highness, you... I..." Hu Liena struggled violently, yet she could not break free from Sirin's grasp at all. She only felt that the person before her was incomparably unfamiliar, nothing like the Angel Goddess.

A barely noticeable flicker of jealousy passed through Sirin's eyes. She raised one finger and gently stroked Hu Liena's hair. "Little Golden Mane once... somewhat envied you, even felt jealous of you... Yet she never would have imagined that her mother would raise such an ungrateful fox!"

"N-No, Your Highness, I don't understand..."

"You don't need to understand!"

Sirin turned her palm over, and a capsule-shaped crystal appeared at her fingertips. Only when she looked at the capsule crystal did her expression soften slightly. "If it were Bella, she would never betray me..."

Gulp!

Without another word, Sirin shoved it directly into Hu Liena's mouth!

The next second, immense Honkai Energy began eroding Hu Liena's flesh and soul alike!!

"Aaaahhh—!!!"

The ungrateful fox clutched her head in agony and let out a shrill scream that echoed through heaven and earth. Yet that tearing pain did not last long.

"Ah... Roar—!!"

The human scream gradually transformed into a soaring dragon's roar, deafening in its intensity!!

"Roaaar—!!"

Blue-white radiance rose alongside the dragon's roar. At the center of the energy storm, a colossal shadow rapidly took shape!

It was a Giant Dragon forty meters tall, with wings on its back and four eyes. Two sharp diamond-shaped horns protruded from each side of its eyes. Its limbs were like forged steel, its chest and belly dark blue, and its dragon tail lashed like a whip. Every swing brought rumbling thunder, while its vast mountain-like pressure struck fear into all who faced it!

"Welcome back, Bella..." The Honkai Queen's voice was entirely gentle this time.

Hearing her voice, the Giant Dragon ceased roaring. Gratitude and joy appeared in its four icy pupils. "Queen... I finally see you again... You have obtained a new body."

It was the crisp voice of a human girl.

An imperceptible warmth flashed through Sirin's eyes. She gently stroked Bella's dragon head and said with a soft laugh, "Mm... It's thanks to that human—no, Xue Ling. Bella, you owe your revival to him as well..."

Clang!!

With a slight flick of Bella's tail, she sent a trident flying away. Turning her head, she let out a low, angry growl, wanting to see exactly which bastard dared interrupt her reunion with Her Majesty the Queen.

The Sea God's Trident returned to his hand. Although his expression was carefully concealed, Tang San's chaotic Divine Sense betrayed the fear in his heart.

That thing weighed one hundred and eight thousand jin! This Dragon Soul Beast Transformed by Hu Liena had merely flicked its tail lightly and knocked it right back at him?!!

The brief reunion ended. Sirin narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze toward Tang San and the battlefield below, her expression growing increasingly cold.

With the revival of her Companion Honkai Beast, coupled with the tremendous authority temporarily borrowed within her body, the Herrscher's strength awakened once again. The light wing behind her right side transformed into three black-and-gold Double-pointed Spears!

Boom, boom, boom...

On the left side of the battlefield, an overwhelming bloodthirsty aura erupted. The Sea God was nowhere to be seen, while powerful killing intent shot into the heavens as though it wished to split the entire sky apart.

Within that blood-red storm, Sea God Tang San had vanished as well. In his place stood Asura God Tang San.

Rings of red light rose behind his head, forming a nine-ring halo—the standard symbol of a God King in the Divine Realm.

Red-gold divine power condensed into a longsword, which he pointed directly at Sirin and Bella. His mighty Asura Divine Sense had formed an enormous blood-red domain, covering half the sky above Jialing Pass!

Facing the God King who had brought out his full strength, the Herrscher merely answered with a disdainful chuckle. The Giant Dragon at her side immediately understood, beating its wings as it dove toward the battlefield below and began utterly crushing the ground forces!

Rubbing her brow, Sirin spoke lazily. "Watch closely, Little Golden Mane. What comes next is the Herrscher's true power☆"

Whoosh—

The Queen of Honkai interlaced her fingers before her chest, then sharply spread her hands to either side. Countless pale-purple cubes gathered around her waist, transforming into a magnificent skirt attached at her hips. At the end of each of the four skirt ribbons was a ferocious "eye."

Powerful, unfamiliar energy obscured the skies of Douluo Star, even blotting out the sun.

Beneath the dark-red firmament, the Queen of Honkai slowly stepped into the air!

At that moment, a powerful burst of music rang out!!
