The Fire Dragon King's Noble Resolve! Seeking Defeat, He Fell to Give His People a Bright Future!
The two sides in the battle were, on one side, the agile traveler Xibalak, wielding a strange longsword, and on the other side, the enormous Fire Dragon King, whose body was engulfed in Eternal Blazing Flames.
Every collision sent shivers down the spines of the entire world.
The divine power poured forth unrestrained, and the lingering aftershocks were enough to flatten mountains and evaporate rivers completely.
The gods of the Douluo God Realm, as well as the top experts from various continents, all held their breath, captivated by this earth-shattering battle.
"What incredible power!" He Caitou's eyes widened, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
He prided himself on Grandmaster Soul Tool, but in the face of such pure, primal power that could alter the very fabric of the world, any exquisite Soul Tool seemed utterly pale and powerless.
"This... this is the King of Natasha?" Xue Ye's voice trembled slightly. He couldn't imagine that the monarch of a country could possess such terrifying destructive power.
This is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
However, as the battle continued, some of the truly powerful figures at the top noticed something was amiss.
Tang San's brows furrowed tightly.
His Purple Demon Eye were already operating at their maximum potential, capturing every detail on the battlefield.
Just now, Xibalak unleashed a powerful slash aimed straight for the Fire Dragon King's neck.
That was a golden opportunity.
An opportunity that could decide the outcome.
However, the Fire Dragon King's response was a beat too slow.
It wasn't a lack of ability, but rather a... deliberate slowness.
It was as if he had deliberately exposed his weakness to the opponent's sword.
In the end, Xibalak seemed to realize something, and at the last moment, the sword deviated by a fraction of an inch, leaving only a white mark on the Fire Dragon King's hard Dragon Scale.
Something's not right.
Tang San spoke in a deep voice, attracting everyone's attention.
Huo Yuhao's expression also became extremely solemn. Although he did not have Tang San's keen insight, his powerful Divine Power allowed him to sense the unusual emotion in the scene.
That wasn't a life-or-death struggle.
Rather, it is a complex atmosphere interwoven with sorrow, resolve, and liberation.
"Father, did you notice it too?" Tang Wulin looked at Tang San. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him was roaring, making him particularly sensitive to the state of the Dragon Clan King in the scene. "That Fire Dragon King... he seems to be... seeking defeat?"
"Seeking defeat?"
These words shocked everyone.
"How is that possible! Why would such a powerful being seek defeat?" Bei Bei exclaimed in disbelief.
Xiao Xiao chimed in, "Yes, he seemed to have plenty of room to maneuver, and he could have severely injured his opponent several times, but he gave up each time."
The image seemed to confirm their suspicions.
Xibalak stopped his attack, holding his longsword and pointing it at the Fire Dragon King, his golden eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
His questioning voice came from the Light Screen.
"Why? Why did you release the water?!"
The Fire Dragon King stood tall in the sea of lava. He did not answer, but silently looked at the young man before him. In the depths of his dragon eyes, which burned with flames, flowed an indescribable sorrow.
Just then, the scene changed.
A figure clad in heavy black armor, exuding an aura as terrifying as the Abyss, appeared in the corner of the screen.
It's King of Underworld.
His voice was hoarse and deep, as if it came from the Nine Netherworlds, revealing this earth-shattering truth.
"Because he has lost control of his destiny."
"The Fire Dragon King, the Old Days Domination of Natasha, has long been corrupted by the power of the Abyss."
"Every breath he took intensified this erosion. Every battle he fought hastened Natasha's destruction."
"The future he saw was a sea of fire completely swallowed by the Abyss, a tragic song of all his people turning to ashes."
As King of Underworld spoke, a series of shocking scenes flashed across the screen.
That was the future from the perspective of the Fire Dragon King.
The earth cracked open into bottomless ravines, from which black energy surged forth, corrupting all life. His cherished people, the passionate Natasha people, were transformed into mindless monsters driven only by destruction.
The entire world is heading towards its end under his power.
"No..."
Gu Yuena instinctively covered her mouth, her silver eyes filled with shock and reluctance.
As the Silver Dragon King, she understood this feeling all too well.
The helplessness and despair of watching everything you cherish be destroyed because of your existence.
Her gaze involuntarily fell upon Tang Wulin beside her.
Didn't she once face the same choice? For the future of Soul Beast, she had to fight against humans and the person she loved most.
Tang Wulin felt Gu Yuena's gaze, and he reached out and tightly grasped her cold hand.
His heart, along with the Fire Dragon King in the picture, sank to the bottom.
"So... that's why he chose death?" Lie Yan's voice trembled slightly. She was once the queen of the Core World, and she had made choices for her people and her lover.
Ji Dong silently pulled her into his arms, his eyes filled with an extremely complicated expression.
The destiny of King can sometimes be this cruel.
In the video, King of Underworld ' voice continues.
"He could not bring himself to end his own life, for the dignity of King would not allow him to exit so cowardly."
"He cannot afford to be defeated by the minions of the Abyss; that would only darken Natasha's future."
So, he was waiting.
"Waiting for a new king who can defeat him, yet will not be seduced by the Abyss."
King of Underworld ' gaze pierced through the screen, seemingly landing on the hearts of every viewer.
"Xibalak, you are the one he chose."
"He's not fighting you; he's using his life to hold the grandest coronation ceremony for you!"
"The death of the old king will be exchanged for the birth of a new one!"
"To exchange the end of an era for a bright future for Natasha!"
"This is the Fire Dragon King's final resolve!"
Boom--!
The truth struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in everyone's minds.
Tang San's body jolted violently.
To crown the new king with death...
What a tragic and resolute choice this is!
He thought of himself; to fight against the Spirit Hall and to protect the Douluo Continent, he too had paid countless prices. The Sea God's Heart was shattered, and he even perished at one point.
But he eventually came back.
This Fire Dragon King chose a path of no return.
Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion, felt countless extreme emotions intertwining and colliding within the Light Screen, ultimately converging into a torrent called "Sublimity," which almost overwhelmed his Divine Sense.
"A madman... a complete and utter madman!"
Zhou Weiqing muttered to himself. He had always been cynical and fearless, but faced with this profound realization, he felt a deep sense of admiration.
