Cataclysm
"Boom--"
With a heavy, deafening roar, the hundreds-of-meters-high mountain slowly tilted and finally collapsed, raising clouds of dust.
The Red Dragon's body was also buried there, with sand and smoke filling the air, making it impossible to see its exact location.
But as the Abyss Lord who seized the Divine Body, Jierlazarax is able to see through all the fog and understand the true nature of all things.
"Roar--"
"Keosius! Prepare for the final judgment!"
Jierlazarax roared, spreading his Sky-Shading Dragon Wing and stretching his massive, mountain-like tail.
This majestic Abyssal Dragon swooped down from tens of thousands of meters in the sky, like a mountain crashing to the ground, towards the ruins of that mountain peak.
As it crashed to the ground, the Abyssal Dragon's body surface rubbed violently against the air, generating temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius, and its wings fell to the earth like a burning sky.
A raging hurricane swept across the sky and the earth, tearing space apart with mournful cries and trembling.
In an instant, all living things in the Anzeta area felt an incredibly strong wind pressure, causing trees to break and cliffs to collapse.
Even the Silver Dragon was forced down by the wind pressure, unable to lift its head, and its giant claws sank deep into the ground.
Some of the more fragile creatures were even crushed, their bones broken and their flesh mangled.
Pablicheko flapped his wings frantically, looked at the scene in the sky, and cried out in terror, "By Bahamut, get out of the way! This is an attack we cannot withstand!"
The Ancient Silver Dragon released a spherical light, instantly breaking free from the entanglement of dozens of demons around it. Then, without hesitation, it activated a teleportation spell, creating a huge spatial portal.
Golden Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Brass Dragon flew into the portal in droves, withdrawing from the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Being, their bodies shimmering with starlight, constantly shifted their positions, doing everything in their power to distance themselves from the Abyssal Dragon.
The Astral Envoy tore off a long scroll from his body and began writing on it, anxiously murmuring, "My lord, I beg you to send down your messenger."
"With the power of us believers, we are powerless to resolve this crisis; it is absolutely Godspawn!"
"His Majesty."
Lang Pu also looked up at the rapidly descending black sky, his expression extremely solemn. Even though he had the most confidence in the emperor, a slight wavering arose in his heart.
Can such a monster, or rather, Godspawn, truly be defeated?
But soon, the Ogre Mage realized what he had to do. He raised his scepter, and the skull necklace on his chest emitted dazzling rays of light.
"Quickly! Get out of here! Don't go near this battlefield!"
Mass Teleportation!
Instantly, accompanied by faint magical light, the core forces of the empire, including the Dragon Oath Paladin, the Wyvern Legion, and the Dragon Pact Sorcerer, quickly withdrew and appeared dozens of miles away.
As for the players, they're not a priority; after all, those guys are "undead."
Tens of thousands of elite players on the battlefield were still entangled with the demons, but soon they also discovered the Abyssal Dragon falling from the sky and were shocked by this spectacular scene.
"Holy crap?"
"What the hell is this thing?"
"Run! A meteorite is hitting Earth!"
Players with teleportation spells tore up scrolls and fled without hesitation, while those without used various means, such as flying or running, to escape desperately into the distance.
"Buzz—"
The Abyssal Dragon drew ever closer to the ground, and the wind pressure grew stronger, while Keosius still did not appear to have emerged from the ruins.
At that moment, the pitch-black sky pressed down on the ground, and the earth suddenly collapsed, resembling a scene of the end of the world, as if the whole world was trembling.
People finally understood why this dark red dragon called itself the "World-Destroying Dragon".
Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless fearful and terrified beings, the Abyssal Dragon crashed into the ruins with unstoppable force, the dark sky colliding with the ground.
"Boom--"
The earth shook violently, a massive explosion shot into the sky, and billowing smoke instantly engulfed everything around it, also blocking out the sunlight.
Along with the chaotic current, the terrifying Shockwave spread rapidly from the center of the Abyssal Dragon, instantly reaching more than ten miles away. Trees were uprooted, mountains collapsed outwards, and countless fragments of rock flew everywhere.
Under the bombardment of the Abyssal Dragon, the earth shattered, magma spewed forth, and countless rocks flew into the sky before falling in all directions, forming trails of burning meteorites.
The entire Anstica Mountains, and even Anzeta, trembled under the terrible Shockwave. Jierlazarax's dive had already caused irreversible damage to the mountain range.
Even the Metallic Dragon and Celestial Legion that had withdrawn early felt a chill run down their spines.
All living beings within the blast radius had already been reduced to ashes. Those players, soldiers, and demons who couldn't escape were completely swallowed up, leaving not even a trace.
A crater several miles in diameter appeared on the ground, with broken rock layers and flowing lava everywhere.
"O gods!"
"Bahamut above."
"Godspawn, this is the power of Godspawn! It is something no mortal can withstand!"
"Lord of the North Wind, am I really still in the Third Era?"
Metallic Dragon, Celestial Being, Empire Retinue, and the elite players who had managed to escape all stared at the terrifying sight.
They trembled uncontrollably, utterly awestruck by the sight. Before such a monstrous creature, akin to Godspawn, all human struggles seemed utterly meaningless.
In the temporary stronghold of the Empire Retinue, Olivia gazed at the billowing smoke and dust, her blue-gray pupils suddenly widening, filled with worry.
Even the invincible Red Dragon might not survive such a devastating attack.
"Keosius"
Olivia thought to herself, a feeling of despair and panic washing over her, leaving her feeling somewhat lost.
"Aww—"
Just then, a familiar, resounding dragon roar came from the smoke and dust, instantly spreading throughout Anstika.
"That is—"
Olivia looked up in surprise and delight, tears welling up in her eyes.
Metallic Dragon, Celestial Being, Empire Retinue, and even players all looked up at the sky and cheered.
"Look!"
"It's His Your Majesty Keosius!"
"That Red Dragon is still alive!"
Suddenly, the Red Dragon burst out of the smoke and dust, spread its wings, and flew high into the sky.
Keosius's body was shimmering with subtle spiritual light, his scales gleamed with a golden sheen, and he was surrounded by endless flames.
The instant Jierlazarax swooped down to the ground, he used the Order Divine Power to resist the raging tide of chaos, released the Shelter Egg, and sent himself into Alternate Dimension.
He cast various protective spells on himself within the space, such as Undying Reverse Scale and Flame Spirit Shield, before returning to the Material Plane.
However, a huge, ferocious black shadow emerged from the smoke and dust, and the terrifying head of the Abyssal Dragon suddenly poked out from it.
"Roar--"
He opened his blood-red maw, which was more than ten meters wide, and spewed out billowing black smoke, letting out an angry roar.
"That guy who's been hiding everywhere!"
I will break your wings, crush your skull, and tear you to pieces with my own hands!
The head of this Abyssal Dragon alone is nearly thirty meters long, almost the size of the entire dragon Keosius.
Within that foul-smelling, rotting maw, countless streams of chaotic black smoke surged in, forming a highly attractive vortex.
The Red Dragon suddenly flapped its wings, instantly accelerating upwards, its Limbs and wings spewing out dazzling flames.
"Snap!"
The Abyssal Dragon missed its target, but immediately afterward, its massive claws swung from the side, accompanied by billowing smoke, and struck towards the Red Dragon.
"Buzz—"
The air crackled as Keosius spread his wings, tracing a crimson arc in the sky before brushing past the giant claw.
The Red Dragon turned its head, and the dragon crystal on its chest shone brightly. It roared again, opened its mouth, and spat out a pillar of blazing white fire.
"Boom--"
The explosion's flames appeared on the Abyssal Dragon's shoulder, tearing off its dark red scales and charring large patches of its purplish-black flesh.
The Abyssal Dragon roared, its wings, Sky-Shading, flapped once more, and a violent gale swept up, blowing towards Keosius high in the sky.
However, the Red Dragon pressed its wings tightly to its sides, tightened its body, stretched its tail, and a silvery-white glow surged in front of it.
He pierced through the gale like an awl, resisting the onslaught of chaotic power, and once again charged towards the Abyssal Dragon.
"Boom!"
Another red afterimage flashed by, and a new wound appeared on the massive body of the Abyssal Dragon.
However, as the battle progressed, the Abyss power around them became increasingly intense, even beginning to shake the laws of the Material Plane, making Keosius feel somewhat suffocated.
His power is being suppressed!
Keosius let out a low growl and vigorously flapped his Dragon Wing, causing himself to retreat dozens of meters in an instant.
He dodged the powerful sweep of the giant tail once again, but the sharp Spear of Revenge from the tail still swiftly sliced across his dragon body.
"Whoosh—"
Golden-red scales and scalding dragon blood splattered into the air, and a several-meter-long scratch appeared on the Red Dragon's chest.
The Dragon's Breath!
Keosius raised his head and roared, and beams of golden light descended, instantly healing the wounds and dispelling the black smoke from the Abyss.
However, the dark red giant claw swept across with chaotic turbulence, and several black waves like sharp blades attacked. The Red Dragon soared into the air again, narrowly dodging the attack.
Behind him, the mountain peak was flattened, the rocks collapsed with a crash, leaving clean cuts.
Keosius was visibly losing ground and could only dodge in panic, unable to launch a counterattack, and even came close to death time and time again.
Jierlazarax grinned maliciously. "Hahahaha! Red Dragon! Stop struggling in vain! You cannot defy fate!"
Keosius dodged the claws' attack once more and sneered, "Is that really so, Jierlazarax?"
A terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from the distant sky, causing ripples in space. The brilliance of stars filled the sky, and several illusory figures gradually coalesced.
Jierlazarax and Keosius both turned their heads and looked up at the sky.
Keosius muttered to himself, "They've come after all. These gods really can't stand idly by while the Abyss invades, especially since I gave them a heads-up."
And there are more of them than I imagined."
Accompanied by the echoing sound of gongs and the joyous, silent singing, the phantom of a human male appeared on the horizon. He was clad in chainmail, had lost his right hand, and used his remaining arm to wield a bright silver warhammer. A supreme white light surrounded his forehead.
That is the incarnation of Tyr, the God of Justice Fair One!
Immediately afterwards, a low sobbing echoed, and another thin man, dressed only in a loincloth, appeared on the ruins-strewn ground.
He had a compassionate face, and his body was crisscrossed with scars, open wounds, burns, and other signs of torture.
That is the incarnation of the Crying God, the suffering one, and Lord Ilmater on the Lord on the Rack!
Finally, a cold north wind blew in, scattering the churning clouds.
A long, slender, winding Golden Dragon appeared on the horizon, flapping its broad wings, its eyes gleaming with a deep blue light like the midsummer sky.
That is the incarnation of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon God! Tyr, Ilmater, and Bahamut often appear in various disasters that threaten the world, saving all living beings from fire and water, and are revered by mortals as the "Righteous Three Saints".
At this moment, the incarnations of these three deities descended together to confront this terrifying dragon Godspawn.
"It is my lord!"
"Your Bahamut Your Majesty!"
"It's the Righteous Three Saints! The world is saved!"
Metallic Dragon and celestial Fighter cheered, believing that everything would end once the gods descended.
Endless hatred surged in Jierlazarax's deep eyes, spewing forth black and red flames of vengeance. The ground beneath him suddenly cracked open and burst into flames.
"The Three Gods of Justice"
He was grinding his teeth to powder, billowing black smoke flowed from his nostrils and mouth, and a hoarse voice came from deep in his throat.
Jierlazarax roared to the sky, unleashing a furious howl that spewed forth a raging, chaotic wind. A vast black mist swept across the land, forming a dragon shadow thousands of meters long.
The way He looked at Keosius was more like that of prey about to fall into a net, while the way He looked at the gods was that of mortal enemies! "It's you again! Ten thousand years ago, it was you who were in the way! You high and mighty gods, when the great Abyss Will destroys everything, none of you will escape either; you will only become nourishment for the new world!"
The Abyssal Dragon breathed heavily, turning its head to look at the Red Dragon not far away.
Jierlazarax pointed his claws at the gradually solidifying phantom, his face contorted with a cruel and venomous smile.
"Keosius, is this all you're relying on? You think that bringing in the avatar of a god will completely stop me? It seems you don't know that gods are not omnipotent; that's just the delusion of an ignorant mortal!"
Only the Abyss is omnipotent, and its destiny is sealed!
The Abyssal Dragon raised its head, flapped its wings, and let out a Earth-Shattering roar. Its massive 300-meter-long body soared into the air, stirring up a raging storm.
"Revenge--"
"Destroy--"
"The End!"
Hysterical roars erupted from the Abyssal Dragon's throat, the sounds overlapping like howling winds sweeping across the Abyss.
