Deep space, dead silence.
In the void where there is no atmosphere and sound, and can only be measured by the concept of light years, a White Dwarf is suspended alone in the darkness.
It used to be a Star.
After burning for billions of years, it finally burned out all the fuel and collapsed into what it is now.
The volume is not large, smaller than a planet, but the mass is equivalent to a real Star. The material has been compressed to the limit, and Gravity has polished its shape to an extremely regular shape, almost a perfect sphere.
With it as the center, space is distorted.
Even the light will be forcibly bent when it passes by, so that the distant Star light is bent into a ring in its Gravity Field.
This is the restricted area of life.
It's a place of death that even Immortal Life doesn't want to stay for long.
However, who would have thought that in the core of White Dwarf that transcends the limits of matter, a pair of eyes slowly opened.
The pupils lit up, like two stars igniting in the deepest night.
Boom!
The next moment, White Dwarf's dense surface exploded.
A crimson figure jumped out from the ground, wrapped in countless fragmented dense rock formations, rising into the sky like a volcanic eruption, crossing an arc, and then landed heavily on the surface of White Dwarf.
Boom.
The ground trembled, and spiderweb-like cracks centered on the landing point and spread to all sides.
Red Iron Dragon slowly straightened up, raised his head, and took a satisfied breath of air that did not exist in a vacuum.
"Huh----"
"The duration of this deep sleep will probably be quite long."
Garos shook his huge head and thought silently in his heart, with a comfortable and comfortable look on his faceplate.
"From start to finish, from beginning to end, there was no interruption."
"I haven't slept so comfortably in a long, long time."
The memory went back. During the two previous deep sleeps, Garos was disturbed by the outside world.
During this period, although Green Dragon Seroel and Gold Dragon Odhos gave him vital help, preventing him from being forcibly interrupted in the middle of his sleep, they finally broke through and woke up safely.
However, it is actually a very unpleasant thing to have to get up and fight just after waking up.
Garos hopes to sleep until he wakes up naturally.
Allow nature to adapt to the new body and the strength accumulated in sleep.
This time's slumber was just right.
There is no imminent threat. This dead and silent deep space is his most loyal guardian, blocking out all noise.
"I hope I can have more comfortable sleep like this in the future."
Garos thought to himself.
Immediately, he gathered his thoughts, began to stretch his body, and carefully looked at his current state.
Let's start with Life Level.
Forty-one.
When this number appeared in his mind, he felt a little more at ease.
There is no doubt that this has reached the level of Immortal Life, and is even one level above the bottom line, reaching level 41.
If he relied purely on his own strength, it would be a lucky coincidence that he could reach Immortal Realm while sleeping this time. Now that he can reach level 41 in one breath, it is probably because of the strength of Fey Fruit given by Titania in the past.
In addition, Material Plane has a well-known iron law.
Whether it is Immortal One or the divine Saint Realm, even if its true strength is far beyond level 40, once it enters Material Plane, it will be suppressed to around level 40 by the rules.
This is an iron rule of Material Plane itself, and no one can be an exception.
"This means that I have officially stood at the top of Material Plane.
19
Garos lowered his eyes and glanced at his right wrist, and roughly sensed the specific time through Time Ring.
"This time, I have been sleeping for more than two hundred years--
"It's so long."
Red Iron Dragon's gaze became a little deeper.
For mortals, the realm of the Legendary Realm is already an existence that needs to be looked up to. A powerful Legendary Realm can change the destiny of a kingdom.
But on the scale of Multiverse, Legendary Realm are still just elite units, as small as dust.
Elemental Monarchs, God-Abomination, Demon princes, gods of the heavens—these names resound across countless planes, and their threshold is Immortal Realm.
Only Immortal Realm is qualified to stand on the same stage as these famous beings across many planes and worlds.
At this point, no matter mortals or gods, everyone will recognize your power.
It took a total of more than 800 years, from Hatchling Dragon to Ancient Dragon, from weak to the Immortal Realm, Garos finally reached the limit of Material World, stood on countless lives, and officially had the capital to set foot on the Multiverse stage.
"Up to Heaven, down to Abyss."
"Be it gods or Demon, my name will ring in their ears."
Garos feels like he lacks nothing.
Obviously he was on the extremely powerful White Dwarf Gravity, but he felt like he was floating into the sky.
The sense of accomplishment that had accumulated for many years completely came to me at this moment.
He couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and scream.
However, no sound can be transmitted here, and the feeling of drifting only exists for a short moment.
The giant dragon put his feet on the ground and exhaled a deep breath of heat. At the same time, he made up an important premise in his heart for his bold words just now.
"One day, but not now."
After waking up, reason regained the upper hand.
In countless worlds, there are too many powerful people, countless planes, countless worlds, and ancient and dangerous lives may be hidden in the corner of each world.
He stood at the Material World limit.
However, as we all know, Material Plane is just a novice village."
Bottomless Abyss, Nine Hells, Scorched Flame Purgatory, Astral Realm, Sea of Chaos, Elemental Realms, Heaven Mountain, Mechanical Realm, Beastlands----
These planes are where Immortal One and the gods live.
Suddenly, Red Iron Dragon felt waves of discomfort.
"This is----exclusion and suppression from Material World."
He was thoughtful.
After the initial excitement, Red Iron Dragon felt suppressed by Material Plane Iron Laws of Rules.
It's like being put into a container that is too small, and the container is still shrinking.
A pervasive sense of oppression surged from all directions, squeezing his body and invisibly squeezing his strength.
He even had the urge to tear apart the space, leave here directly, and go to a plane that was not suppressed.
But he endured it.
Not only was he not irritable, but he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Garos has long understood this sense of oppression.
Any life that enters Immortal Realm will continue to be suppressed as long as it remains in Material Plane. This is one of the manifestations of Iron Laws of Rules, which is irresistible, and Immortal Dragon is particularly affected.
However, the impact of this continued oppression——
Garos savored it carefully, feeling happy instead of angry.
You'll get used to it!
"Material Plane Although it is a novice village, it is the foundation of all planes and all worlds."
"If, I mean if, if I can become truly invincible in this novice village, then in a sense, I will dominate all the connected planes and worlds."
Garos is almost elated.
He also knew in his heart that this kind of Iron Laws of Rules that could not even be exempted from Greater Deity must be incredibly powerful. Even if he was already Immortal Realm, he didn't know how many years it would take to adapt to a trace of real resistance.
However, as long as there is a possibility, as long as there is a slight possibility!
When life is long enough, the probability of something happening will be infinitely close to 100%.
"Material Plane is the foundation for all other worlds."
"If I can adapt to Material Plane's suppression and exert more life limit in Material Plane than other beings, then I really have a chance to become Material Plane's only Overlord."
"At that time, I will have ultimate peace."
Even though he couldn't make a sound, Red Iron Dragon still couldn't help but hum.
Along the way, he trampled on many powerful enemies.
Before those enemies met him, they were all famous and invincible in every battle.
Normal creatures would be proud of their victory.
Garos is also proud and proud.
However, what is different from normal creatures is that whenever he burns a powerful enemy to ashes, in a quiet moment, he can't help but think——
Will I end up like that one day?
The more thoroughly he kills, the more tragic the enemy's outcome, the clearer this idea becomes.
Even though he has gone from mortal things to the Immortal Realm level, there is still a trace of this uneasiness hidden deep in his heart that lingers.
So much so that his pursuit of power is not actually the pursuit of power itself.
What he wants is actually the peace of mind that power brings.
Therefore.
When an opportunity to gain ultimate peace of mind arises, Garos will seize it without hesitation or risk.
However, he did not lose his mind because of this.
"Don't be impatient."
"Even though I have reached the limit of Material Plane, there are still too many strong people outside of Material Plane."
he warned himself.
Invincible in the world, enemies come from heaven.
Such a drama could really happen.
Red Iron Dragon silently collected his thoughts and tried his best to calm down.
This is a very dangerous idea.
The position of the master of the plane, especially the position of the master of Material Plane, he is not qualified to covet and touch now. This is something that even Greater Deity will not think about, a red line that no one can touch.
But----
To lead the empire to Great Expedition, you can try to master a few Material World first.
Red Iron Dragon stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to his body.
The first thing that caught my eye were his scales.
The dragon scales are still stacked one after another, and the arrangement is as tight as before, but the texture of the scales has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The surface of each scale is as smooth as a mirror, showing a strange mirror texture. At first glance, it looks like a stomach carved from red gemstones.
Above the scales, the surrounding deep sky is clearly reflected.
He turned his head slightly and could see the distant stars flowing slowly on his scales, as if the entire universe was draped on his body.
The fit between the scales has also changed.
They still appear to be covered in layers, but in fact they are interlocked with each other in an extremely precise structure. Each scale is seamlessly connected to the surrounding scales, and the gaps between the scales are difficult to discern with the naked eye. It is like a one-piece die-cast molding, and its strength is far greater than before.
"Interesting."
"With the existence of this dragon scale, if I say that I am a mutated Gem Dragon, I am afraid no one will doubt it."
Garos whispered to himself.
This scale armor is indeed a bit too beautiful, as smooth as a mirror, like a carefully polished work of art.
Beautiful things always tend to give people a fragile feeling.
The same is true for Garos's new scales, which seem to break if touched lightly.
However, if anyone really thinks so, they are totally wrong.
This mirror-like texture is a dense substance formed after repeated Shatter and reorganization, proliferation and compression. It looks smooth, but is actually incredibly strong.
Immediately afterwards, Garos noticed the second thing.
body shape.
His size did not grow, but shrank.
Moreover, it is greatly reduced.
From head to tail, Red Iron Dragon is only about thirty meters long.
In the evaluation system of Dragonkin, this is probably the physique that a giant dragon that has just stepped into the Legendary Realm should have. Compared with the huge body that covered the sky and the sun before he fell asleep, it has shrunk too much and is incomparable.
The sense of oppression is not as strong as before.
Coupled with the beautiful dragon scales, it is easy to feel that it is of no use and can only be viewed.
However, when he took steps forward.
Click.
The first step was to fall gently, and the dense and hard surface of White Dwarf cracked and sunk into a deep pit.
Click.
The second step is to drop it gently, the cracks spread quickly like a spider web, and debris scatters everywhere.
Even the dense celestial body cannot withstand his trampling.
You know, this is the surface of White Dwarf.
Every inch of rock here has been compressed by the incredible Gravity for countless epochs. It is denser and harder than any known material in the mortal world. Even Garos before sleeping must concentrate all its efforts on destruction in order to leave obvious traces on such a solid ground.
But now he just took two random steps.
Garos stopped and looked down at his paws, thoughtfully.
What has shrunk is the volume.
What is condensed is the essence.
This thirty-meter-long body contains all the accumulation and evolution of his sleep for more than two hundred years. Every scale,
The density of every inch of flesh and blood exceeds that of White Dwarf beneath him.
Today, he is dense and heavy to an unimaginable level.
If you were on an ordinary planet, if you didn't control yourself, any movement would cause the earth to collapse.
"And here."
Garos raised his paw and touched the top of his head.
The touch from the tip of the claw was unfamiliar and hard.
Under normal circumstances, he has a pair of dragon horns on his head.
Two pairs of dragon horns, one large and one small, stretched out from the top of his head backwards. There were also several secondary horns of different sizes radiating around, staggered with each other, stacked and shining. From a distance, it looked like a natural crown, worn on his head.
The majestic dragon body is matched with this crown of horns.
There is an indescribable sense of sanctity in the majesty.
Red Iron Dragon tapped his new horn lightly with the tip of his claw, feeling its touch.
"My body will not evolve anything purely decorative."
He was thoughtful.
Immediately afterwards, the dragon closed its eyes.
After concentrating his mind, his consciousness sank into a new dimension of perception, and then he opened his eyes again, with a pair of pupils shining brightly.
The whole world changed in his eyes.
Material outlines, light and color - all faded.
Instead, it is force.
A force that is everywhere and interwoven into a web.
White Dwarf's Gravity Field is like a giant net that covers everything. Every particle of dust floating in the deep sky leaves ripples on the net. The distant stars pull the threads, which are faint but clearly discernible.
All this is as clear as looking at the lines in the palm of your hand.
He can see them.
You can even touch them.
And this is thanks to the Horn of Force he just evolved.
Garos felt something in his heart, raised a dragon claw, and pointed to the deep sky above his head.
Immediately afterwards, Spell-Annihilating Claw clenched slightly, holding on to the invisible line of force, and then slowly pulled downwards.
In the distant space, a meteorite several kilometers in diameter is drifting quietly in its own orbit.
Suddenly, an invisible force grabbed it.
The trajectory of the meteorite suddenly distorted, as if it was being held by an invisible giant hand, and it fell straight in the direction of White Dwarf!
After getting close, White Dwarf's own terrifying Gravity began to take effect. The meteorite was crazily squeezed and shrunk, shrinking in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, it crashed onto the ground not far from Red Iron Dragon, turning into a ball of shattered debris.
And this is just the beginning.
Garos's dragon claws opened again.
Feeling the extension, the line of force tightened in his claws, and the muscles on Dragon Arm stretched, and he pulled hard.
In the deep sky, in the meteorite belt closest to White Dwarf, thousands of meteorites trembled simultaneously, like courtiers summoned by a king, derailed from all directions and swarmed towards White Dwarf.
The meteorite swarm tore through the deep sky like a torrential rain, and the sound was so powerful that it could make any civilization tremble.
Soon after.
Seeing that the meteorite rain was about to fall, Red Iron Dragon pushed gently with his paw.
An invisible force surged.
All the meteorites changed directions at the same moment, scattered into the deep sky, and disappeared like an ebbing tide, disappearing without a trace in the dark starry sky in the blink of an eye.
White Dwarf returns to silence.
Garos retracted his claws, reflected the distant stars in his vertical pupils, and slowly exhaled.
"Very good, I can now grab the invisible Gravity Field with my own claws."
A satisfied expression appeared on the dragon's mask.
Horn of Force is like a medium, or a symbolic price. After it is born, even if it is destroyed, it will not affect anything.
In short.
What is really important is that after this evolution, Garos was able to clearly perceive Gravity and grasp it forcefully. His Eye of True Sight and Spell-Annihilating Claw also evolved accordingly.
Not only that.
His previous Dense Body characteristics and Undying Life were integrated with each other, and some changes occurred, forming new matching characteristics based on his current physical condition.
Celestial Life.
Your body is as dense as a celestial body, containing the weight of a star.
You can feel, touch, and play with the most basic power of Multiverse - Gravity.
There is no weakness in your body. Even if you break into pieces, you can still be united into one body. Only when all the energy and body materials in your body are exhausted can you become silent.
