Four Legendary Realm dragons from the Raging Tide Dragon Realm appeared in the sky above the sleeping place of Garos.

Each one of them exudes Dragon Might as vast as the sea, and is not an ordinary Legendary Realm existence.

The leader is an elder Gold Dragon with shining golden scales, named Kelton, whose voice is as loud as thunder; beside him is Silver Dragon, who has an elegant temperament but his face is covered with frost at the moment; the other is Bronze Dragon, whose eyes are as sharp as lightning; the last one, Blue Dragon with deep dragon scales and spiral horns on his head, is the rare Sea Emperor Dragon among Dragon Race.

Their expressions were stern, and they did not hide their majestic Dragon Might. It was obvious that they came with bad intentions.

"Orvis." Elder Gold Dragon named Kelton was the first to speak, with a loud voice, "It has been five years, you Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm have been delaying for five full years. Today, you must hand over Garos·Ignas, and we will bring Raging Tide Dragon Realm back for interrogation."

Opposite, Orvis's huge golden dragon body stood tall and unflinching.

On his dazzling golden dragon scales, Holy Oath Runes representing the oath of glory has lit up one after another, emitting a firm and sacred light.

His partner, Sanda Martial Dragon Aestrid, who is also Legendary Realm, is located behind him.

The condensed and substantial Dragon Qi around her was burning brightly, and an unabashed militant light shone in those dragon eyes.

"Kelton, the truth of the matter is far from being found out. I will never hand over Garos to any dragon under such unclear circumstances."

Orvis's tone was decisive, leaving no room for maneuver.

"Conclusion? What more conclusion is needed?! It is an indisputable fact that Xiano was torn into pieces alive by him! It is also a fact that the dirty blood of Evil Dragon flows in his body!"

The Silver Dragon elder roared with grief and anger, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Orvis! What are your intentions in favoring Red Iron Dragon, regardless of the feelings of your own kind? Are you going to betray our common position Metal Dragon?!"

This female Silver Dragon is named Finel and is the biological mother of Bronze Dragon Xiano.

As for Xiano's Bronze Dragon father, when he was just a Adolescent Dragon, he died in a tragic battle against Helmode Dragon Brood.

That is a powerful Blue Dragon group led by three Legendary Realm Elder Dragon.

They are entrenched in the Boiling Sea and have been a long-standing thorn in the Raging Tide Dragon Realm's side.

"Partiality? What I defend is the justice and untarnished glory of Dragon Race, not the so-called position claimed by some dragons who are blinded by personal hatred and narrow prejudice."

In response to Silver Dragon Finel's sharp questioning, Orvis did not flinch and retorted with a calm voice.

At the same time, Gold Dragon Aestrid next to him let out a nonchalant chuckle and said jokingly, "I didn't discipline my son well and let him go astray. He deserves to die."

She paused and her tone became more pointed. "Or should I say that you, the mother, are also responsible for his death?"

"After all, you didn't teach him what true justice is and what bigotry is driven by hatred."

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly intensifying the conflict to its peak.

The grief and anger in Silver Dragon Finel's eyes instantly rose to its peak, and he stared at Aestrid with his dragon eyes that were about to spit out flames.

"Want to take action? It's just what I want! This dragon's claws haven't moved for a long time and are a little itchy."

Not only did Aestrid show no fear, but he showed an expression of excitement and raised his claws provocatively at Silver Dragon, looking eager to try and get what he wanted.

"Everyone, we Five Great Dragon Realms should have the same spirit and the same hatred."

"Why go to war over a junior who is carrying Evil Dragon Bloodline and hurt the harmony?"

The dark blue Sea Emperor Dragon spoke in a relatively calm tone and tried to persuade, "Leave the Red Iron Dragon to us, and we will guarantee it with Longge. We will never lynching him indiscriminately. We are just bringing him back to the Raging Waves Dragon Territory so that we can understand the situation from a more comprehensive perspective and settle the dispute."

Orvis shook his head slightly, his attitude not wavering at all.

He said solemnly, "I have made it very clear, I will not give Garos to any dragon."

"Even if His Majesty Bronze Dragon King, who is in charge of the Raging Tide Dragon Realm, comes in person, my answer will be the same."

Aestrid said "poof" directly in the direction of Sea Emperor Dragon, and said unceremoniously, "Stop pretending to be a peacemaker here! You didn't say hello at all, just barged into our island and put on this posture."

"Is this an attitude of wanting to have a good discussion? It's clear that you want to bully and rob!"

"Stop talking nonsense, fight if you want, don't wait around here!"

Sea Emperor Dragon Hearing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, he shook his head silently and said no more.

He originally came here because he didn't want things to get out of hand, and he was a neutral faction, but now it seems that his mediation pales in the current tense atmosphere.

"You are shielding the murderer! And your pair of children do not have the style and dignity that Metal Dragon should have! I think the blood and ideas of your family have long been polluted, and you are the degenerate generation of Dragon Race!"

Silver Dragon Finel lost control of his emotions and roared.

She lost the usual elegance and calmness of the Silver Dragon family, and was left with only the ferocity and hostility soaked in hatred.

Gold Dragon Kelton and the elder Bronze Dragon who were traveling with her also showed evil looks. Dragon Might further condensed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Orvis and Aestrid refused to give in, and their strong muscles tightened.

Power surged through their bodies, and they were ready for battle at any time.

And just when the two sides were at war with each other, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and the conflict was about to break out.

"Stop! That's enough!"

"We are both Metal Dragon, how can we behave like this when we meet at war?!"

Powerful auras rushed from the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm main island and other directions at the same time, and quickly landed on the island.

They are other elders of the Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm.

They noticed the abnormal energy fluctuations and confrontation here, and immediately rushed to stop it.

"Kelton, Finel, the four of you, without invitation or any communication in advance, you broke into Orvis's exclusive island privately. What do you want?"

"Is this going to start a war between the two domains?"

A senior Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm Gold Dragon elder spoke first and asked in a stern tone.

Raging Tide Dragon Realm's dragons knew they were in the wrong and were speechless for a while.

But Silver Dragon Finel was completely swallowed up by the pain of losing his son and the raging anger, and he didn't care about these rules and principles at all.

She swung her long dragon tail angrily, slapped the air, made a harsh sound, and roared, "A mother! She just wants to see with her own eyes the murderer who brutally killed her only child. Isn't this allowed too?!"

"My son...Xiano... he was torn to pieces alive! No body left intact!"

"Even if his behavior was wrong and he acted impulsively, does he deserve to be treated like this?"

Her voice was choked with grief and anger, and she continued to accuse, "My partner died under Evil Dragon's claws for the sake of the Dragon Realm's peace! My son hates Evil Dragon because of what happened to his father. Is this wrong?!"

"Now he has followed in his father's footsteps and died because of Evil Dragon!"

"And Evil Dragon, whose body is stained with my son's blood, is now under the protection of you Wave-Subduing Dragon Realm. He is alive and well, receiving treatment, and consolidating the realm he broke through by killing my son."

"This is really a big joke."

"How do you face those of your own race who sacrificed their lives fighting against Evil Dragon when you act like this? How do you face the justice and honor you believe in in your own hearts?!"

Hearing this, a hint of complexity flashed in Orvis's eyes.

He understood the pain of a mother, but his principles should not be confused.

He calmed down the excitement caused by the confrontation and said in a deep voice, "Finel, I understand your grief of losing a blood relative, and I sincerely sympathize with your experience."

"However, please do not try to confuse the public and distort right and wrong."

"Garos did not kill your partner, and when he killed your heir, he was only forced to fight back at the critical moment! Remember, he is the most innocent victim in this attack."

"Xiano's death is the consequence that he must bear for choosing the extreme path. He brought it upon himself."

Old Gold Dragon's words are logical and clear.

However, it is difficult for a soul that is overwhelmed by anger and sadness to listen to these voices of reason.

If the intelligent beings in the world could so easily cross the gap between hatred and position and reach mutual understanding, then the disputes, conflicts and endless hatred in this world... would not be so numerous and difficult to resolve.

"Don't talk to me that high-sounding nonsense."

"Today, I, Finel, must see that Red Iron Evil Dragon! I will personally seek an explanation for my poor son!"

She shook her dragon head and her attitude was extremely tough.

At the moment when Silver Dragon Finel's words full of anger and determination fell.

Changes occur suddenly.

Below the Legendary Realm dragons, the vast lake surface that was originally rippling under the pressure of Dragon Might suddenly had violent ripples spreading from the inside out without any warning!

The ripples were not caused by the Dragon Might confrontation at high altitude or the sea breeze.

Its source seems to come from the deepest part of the lake.

In the blink of an eye, the ripples turned into turbulent undercurrents, and the entire lake surged like a boil, with huge waves rolling in.

Buzz--!

A heavy, blazing Dragon Might with a metallic clang and extremely high temperature rose into the sky from the center of the lake.

This coercion is condensed and powerful.

The many Legendary Realm dragons that were confronting each other in the sky felt their hearts tremble, and they stopped arguing in unison, looking down at the surging lake below with doubtful eyes.

Wow--!!!

The lake suddenly exploded.

A black and red dragon shadow that seemed to be made of metal and flames broke through the heavy water curtain.

He jumped out of the water boldly, causing water splashes that filled the sky like broken jade.

Those splashing water droplets, while still in the air, were instantly evaporated by the hot aura naturally emitting from its body, turning into large sheets of thick and rolling white mist, making the sudden appearance of the giant beast even more ferocious and majestic.

It is Red-Iron Dragon, Garos·Ignas that is located in the center of the storm vortex.

After five years of precipitation and transformation of Stillness Spring, the current Red Iron Dragon is no longer what it used to be.

The black and red dragon scales all over his body seemed to have experienced a deeper level of tempering. They were layer upon layer, flowing with an indestructible texture. They were densely covered with countless fine and profound Battleworn Mark roads, telling his extraordinary past.

From beginning to end, his size has reached an astonishing thirty-five meters.

His body is still incredibly strong, and every muscle contains explosive power, but the overall outline is not as overly stretched as before, and instead presents a form that is approaching perfection.

Dragon wings, claws, tail...

Every part of his body seemed to have undergone some kind of fine-tuning, making him appear harmonious and harmonious.

It doesn't seem like it evolved after nurture, but more like it was born so perfect.

It is like a piece of iron ingot that was originally of excellent quality. After thousands of forgings and polishes, the impurities were finally removed and transformed into a purer and tougher steel.

It has only been five years since Red Iron Dragon arrived at the Legendary Realm, but he is just standing here, and the Dragon Might all over his body makes the Legendary Realm dragons around him feel that they cannot be underestimated, unlike the dragon who has just become Legendary Realm.

Garos's eyes swept over each Legendary Realm dragon, and finally settled on the most emotional Silver Dragon Finel.

He was not awakened by the Legendary Realm dragons.

About a month ago, he had woken up naturally, but he still stayed in Stillness Spring, carefully exploring and becoming familiar with the various changes after his breakthrough, and consolidating the new areas and characteristics.

All the previous conversations and arguments that took place above the lake were clearly heard by him.

He felt that it was time to show up in person and face all this.

Orvis has resisted the storm for him for so long, allowing him to stabilize his realm and do an impeccable job.

Next, it is up to him to face those disputes and hatreds.

"You... are Garos·Ignas?!"

Finel's voice trembled slightly due to the extreme emotion.

She stared hard at the Red Iron Dragon that broke out of the water and killed her son, her eyes full of hostility and pain.

"It's me."

Garos's voice is smooth without any ripples.

"You finally showed up! Evil Dragon! I want you to pay with blood and pay for my poor son's life!"

Finel let out a roar of grief and indignation, and Dragon Breath light quickly gathered in her throat, shining with a dangerous and deadly luster.

"Pay for life?"

There was no guilt or fear in Garos's eyes, only a deep calm, "Ms. Finel, I understand and sympathize with your pain of losing a blood relative."

His tone was still calm, but the topic immediately changed and his words became as sharp as a knife.

"But please tell me, what should I do when your descendant, a noble Legendary Realm dragon, regardless of identity, honor and law, launches endless despicable murders against me, a descendant who comes to the Dragon Realm as a guest?"

"Should I kill him at the slightest provocation and fulfill his evil deeds in the name of justice?"

"Or, just because he is your son, just because he did it under the guise of revenge or purification, does his murder become excusable?"

"My self-defense counterattack, my struggle to survive, is it unforgivable cruelty?!"

"Besides, why should I kill him instead of other dragons?"

Garos's words are logically clear and every word is heart-breaking, exposing the right and wrong that Finel tried to cover up with sadness.

The surrounding Legendary Realm dragons who didn't know much about Garos were immediately impressed by this young Red Iron Dragon after hearing this calm rebuttal.

Even if they were to put themselves in Garos's situation, it would be difficult for them to remain so calm.

As a real victim, he was able to respond coherently to such unreasonable accusations, which is enough to prove his inner strength and clear thinking.

No wonder that old guy Orvis values him so much.

This Red Iron Dragon... is indeed extraordinary.

"You are arrogant!"

Silver Dragon's breathing stopped, Dragon Breath stopped thinking, and opened his mouth to refute.

"Don't you have nothing wrong? If it weren't for the dirty blood of Evil Dragon flowing in your body, how could my son..."

Finel was speechless for a moment when asked, so he could only emphasize bloodline even more angrily.

"Bloodline?" Garos interrupted her with a curve at the corner of his mouth, "In your opinion, the standard for judging whether a dragon is good or evil is not through specific behaviors and choices, but the innate bloodline?"

Silver Dragon almost shouted, "Yes!"

"Your bloodline has destined you to embark on the path of evil and chaos in the future! This is your nature engraved in your bones! Your current calmness and arguments are just a cunning disguise."

Hearing this, Red Iron Dragon instead of getting angry, instead grinned.

His eyes swept across all the giant dragons present, and his voice clearly spread across the sky.

"You learned elders should be very clear that Platinum Dragon God, who is in charge of justice and order, and Immortal Dragon Queen, who symbolizes chaos and destruction, have the same origin in the distant era."

"In terms of bloodline theory, these two people also have the same bloodline."

His eyes fell back on Finel and asked, "Ms. Finel, according to your logic, is Platinum Dragon God also destined to embark on the path of evil?"

Isn't it just a matter of putting a hat on it, grabbing a point and amplifying it infinitely?

This logic is too simple for him.

Red Iron Dragon opened his mouth and pushed it to the extreme, putting a big hat on Silver Dragon that could crush any Metal Dragon.

"You! You... how dare you...!"

Silver Dragon Finel turned pale in an instant, and was so angry that the scales all over his body were trembling, but he couldn't say a word, and he didn't know how to refute these heart-wrenching words.

Red Iron Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly, and Dragon Might's body around him slightly converged, but became more condensed.

He said in a deep voice, his voice like steel clashing. "I, Garos·Ignas, only do things based on my heart, not my background."

"Whoever wants to kill me must be prepared to be killed by me, whether he is Chromatic Dragon, a wilderness Beast, or... a Metal Dragon like you who claims to be righteous but is the same as Evil Dragon."

His huge dragon body moved forward, with an invisible sense of oppression, and his eyes were like torches, looking directly at Silver Dragon Finel.

"Want to avenge your son? Yes, I understand and accept this hatred that comes from blood."

"Come on, I'm right in front of you."

"Challenge me, in the oldest and most direct way among us dragons."

"It just so happens that all the elders present will bear witness. I, Garos·Ignas, promise to accept your challenge and engage in a duel that only involves life and death, regardless of right or wrong."

Silver Dragon was shaking all over and was about to agree.

"Calm down! Finel!"

Legendary Realm Bronze Dragon beside her hurriedly stopped her.

Silver Dragon Finel himself is not a dragon elder. Although he is a Legendary Realm dragon, his level is not very high, and he lives in the relatively peaceful Dragon Realm all year round, so he extremely lacks the experience of real life and death fighting.

If you are really provoked into agreeing to this duel, the consequences will be unpredictable.

That Red Iron Dragon is wearing Battleworn Mark, and Dragon Realm Champion.

Even if it has just broken through, it is far stronger than the ordinary Legendary Realm dragon, and it is not easy to mess with.

The elder Sea Emperor Dragon who tried to ease the atmosphere sighed again, his eyes filled with complexity.

He looked at Finel who was almost out of control and said, "Finel, that's enough. Let's end this matter."

"You have met the rightful owner you wanted to meet. It's time for us to return to the Raging Tide Dragon Realm. Continuing to entangle will only bring shame to the dead and plunge the living into a deeper cycle of pain and hatred."

Sea Emperor Dragon turned his gaze to Red Iron Dragon again and said in a solemn tone, "Garos... What you said is not unreasonable."

"I can also see that you are not ordinary Evil Dragon, but once the seeds of hatred are planted, they are difficult to eradicate. I hope you will be careful and take care of yourself."

These words are a warning on the surface, but if you look carefully, there is also a hint of kindness in them.

Garos nodded slightly in response and said no more.

Silver Dragon Finel stared at Garos. Then, without saying a word, she suddenly flapped her wings and rushed into the distance without looking back. The other dragons also left one after another.

The island has returned to peace.

A Legendary Realm conflict that almost broke out finally came to an end with the appearance of Garos and his unyielding attitude.

Later, the tense atmosphere gradually became normal.

"Dragon Might is very fierce. It seems that your gains are not small." Old Gold Dragon looked at Garos and asked curiously, "How many characteristics have been created, five or six?"

Red Iron Dragon stretched his wings, nodded, and said, "Well, almost."

He did not give specific figures.
