The Dragon That Gnawed at the Moon
"The Dark Serpent Braiduk exclaimed in surprise."
"Tidal?"
What is that?
"Never mind that, just keep jumping into the sky."
"Tidal Wild Giant Tyrande laughed."
"Good!"
The Dark Serpent nodded; it could sense the kindness of the Giant before it.
He no longer had any doubts, and instead plunged back into the Deep Sea.
Then, starting from the seabed, he suddenly swung his snake tail forcefully, accelerating in the seawater, using the power of shadow to lift himself up, just about to burst out of the sea and rush straight to the sky.
And just then...
The once calm sea suddenly began to churn, as if an endless force was surging within this deep ocean.
The next moment.
An immense power rose from the depths of the sea, and endless seawater surged up.
A colossal wave formed beneath Braiduk, then swept up his body and the endless seawater, hurtling straight toward the heavens!
Splash!
Splash!
The Dark Serpent Braiduk, who was in the center of the giant wave, instantly felt an immense force beneath him, and a violent sense of weightlessness appeared in his senses.
then.
As the world changed, he rose up above the sea, as if flying.
The towering waves began to carry him higher and higher, endlessly rising!
Hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters... all the way to the celestial dome where the stars reside.
And Braiduk finally arrived at the place he wanted to reach.
Beside that bright and dazzling moon.
He straightened his serpentine body atop the giant wave, gazing in awe at the magnificent starry sky without the slightest hesitation.
The power of the shadow suddenly burst forth, supporting and expanding its body.
Then, he opened his blood-spitting maw and bit down hard on the edge of the moon.
Click!
Click!
The sound, like porcelain shattering, echoed between heaven and earth, awakening all living beings within.
At this moment, on the earth...
Countless Jia'en Giant Race and Morgan People looked up at the sky in shock, gazing towards the moon.
They saw it.
An endless, towering wave rose into the sky in an incredible way.
At the crest of the giant wave, a huge, long, black creature bit into the edge of the moon, and in a fraction of a second, tore the moon to pieces, swallowing the fragment.
The moon fragments swallowed were so large and so bright that they nearly burst the black snake's belly, causing its body to glow.
The giant waves splashed water on both sides of the black snake's body, as if there were two wings on the snake's back.
The Gaen Giant and Morgan People were shocked for the first time.
"What kind of monster is that?!"
"The moon has been eaten away!"
At this moment.
Braiduk, suspended in the sky, was bloated by fragments of the moon, emitting a painful rumbling sound.
The sound was heard by the creatures of the earth, and the more intelligent Morgan People immediately shouted it out.
"It's a dragon!"
"It's a dragon!"
"The Black Dragon ate the moon!"
"My God, what a terrifying creature! Are we really living in the same world as such a creature?"
The Gaen Giant and Morgan People currently live in a small corner of the coastline of the Heavenly Land Inner Ring Sea, at the foot of the Anbis Mountains.
But as they gazed at the starry sky, they felt the vastness of the world and the existence of creatures like Black Dragon.
A Morgan People carved the image of "Black Dragon Devouring the Moon" into a stone on a mountainside.
And above the heavens.
Unbeknownst to him, Braiduk had also earned the title of Black Dragon from the intelligent creatures of the earth.
He felt extremely uncomfortable and immediately shouted loudly.
"Sir, please bring down the giant wave."
Tide Tailunde was also in a panic at this moment.
After she had managed to lift the giant wave into the sky, she felt extreme panic.
That was the awe-inspiring power emanating from the Creator.
But since they had already done it, and for some reason the Creator hadn't immediately come to stop them, she decided to go all the way.
She gritted her teeth and, instead of putting the Dark Serpent Braiduk down directly, used the power of the Law of Tides once again to fling the Dark Serpent violently to the edge of the Inner Ring Sea.
Her voice drifted from afar, echoing in Braiduk's ears.
"I will let the tides carry you to the edge of the Inner Ring Sea. Once you're there, quickly head to the other side of the world, the Dark Continent."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I have already achieved my goal."
"Braiduk asked, puzzled.
Don't ask, don't look back.
Tyrande warned.
"We have done something so terrible that the Creator will hardly forgive us."
"Hurry up, or it will be too late."
Tyrande's words, though calm, carried a hint of panic, sending shivers down Braiduk's spine.
He quickly scrambled into the waves and, as the giant wave receded, reached the edge of the Inner Ring Sea.
Then.
He endured the pain of his stomach being torn apart and headed towards the island where the Shadow Kingdom was located.
Deep within the moon.
Like an endless ocean of moonlight, a dazzling sphere of spiritual light is being nurtured.
When the moon is gnawed away, a portion of its spiritual essence is bitten away and lost.
A cry of pain emanated from the spiritual sphere, a cry that lasted a long time and gradually softened from a neutral tone to a gentle and melodious one.
"I've remembered it, the scent of the tides."
It was as if something had changed, yet it was also as if nothing had changed at all.
Everything within the Sea of Moonlight returned to silence.
On the surface of the ocean.
After sending the Dark Serpent away with the giant wave, Tyrande did not leave, but stood on the shore like a towering mountain.
She is waiting for the Creator to arrive.
She is an accomplice in the devouring of the moon; without her power, the Dark Serpent could never have approached the moon in its entire life.
She believed she had sinned against heaven and earth.
really.
Not long after.
Endless radiance shone between heaven and earth; the great Creator had descended.
He came before Tyrande and sighed softly.
"Tyrande, do you know your crime?"
