Silence.
The sea snake swimming in the sea stopped for a moment.
The waves stirred up by her movements were still spreading around, but her body had stopped moving.
Her eyes turned to the sky and were aimed at Yinglong.
Jiaolong was a little confused.
The sea water was still dripping from its scales. It looked at Yinglong in the sky, then at Tiamat in the sea, and then at Yinglong.
What the hell?
Shouldn't you go up and fuck that sea dragon? What does "help find the child" mean?
But Tiamat seems to understand.
She looked at Yinglong, and the burning light in those golden eyes became a little darker.
She nodded, just lowering her head slightly - but Yinglong saw it.
Tiamat recalled what happened some time ago.
Before that, before she was sent away, when she was still sleeping deep in the ocean.
Then the earth "spoke" - not a "voice", but a "will", World Will conveyed the same message to all Titan: leave. Go to other worlds and find a way.
She didn't know what that "method" was, but she knew that if the earth wanted her to leave, something serious must have happened.
So she left. She passed through the "door" opened by World Will and came to this world. Then she found that her child did not follow.
So she started looking.
She has searched most of the world's seas, climbed over trenches that she never knew existed, and crawled through abyss that even light cannot reach.
She even climbed onto land - her body left a deep ravine on the beach that stretched for several kilometers, scaring the humans who were sunbathing on the beach with strange weapons in their hands and fled in all directions.
This world is very strange. There are many "giant beasts" - ancient beings called "dragons", "jiao", "kun" and "peng", which occupy an important position in the legends of this world.
Some of them live in the sea, some live in the mountains, and some live in the sky.
They are very powerful. When she first landed, seven or eight guys calling themselves "Dragon Kings" came from all directions.
She ignored them, they couldn't defeat her. Human beings in this world are not as fragile as those on earth.
They can fly on their own - not "with the help of tools", but "flying by themselves".
Their bodies contained some kind of energy that she couldn't understand, and that energy allowed them to move freely in the air and accelerate.
They can shoot out "smoke" and "poison needles" (missiles and the like) similar to "steel creations" from their hands. The power of those things - it doesn't hurt, but it's annoying.
But she doesn't want to conflict with the humans in this world.
Then there was this guy in front of her - Yinglong, she had a fight with it.
That day she was rummaging on the bottom of a certain sea area.
Then Yinglong flew down from the sky, and the golden light illuminated the entire ocean.
What did He say? She didn't hear it clearly because she was concentrating on sensing the vibrations on the sea floor. Then He took action.
Yinglong is very strong.
Much stronger than those "Dragon Kings", much stronger than any existence she has ever encountered in this world.
His breath was golden and very hot, and several small cracks appeared on her scales when she was hit for the first time.
Her body was beaten back several kilometers by Yinglong's attack.
Then she fought back... and finally the guy turned around and flew away.
Yinglong escaped, while Tiamat continued to look for her child.
"So--" Yinglong's telepathy came down again, this time with a tone of "Look, I gave in."
"You just wait here quietly, okay? Stop running around. When you run away, all the creatures in the sea will suffer. What you did just now washed away how many fish and shrimps."
Tiamat looked at Yinglong and was silent for a moment.
In those golden eyes, the burning light became a little darker. She nodded, as if "agreeing".
Yinglong breathed a sigh of relief.
The breath exhaled from His throat formed a mist with golden light spots in the sky.
He was already prepared for another fight.
But in the last fight, several scales on his body were scraped off by the other side, and they had not yet grown back. Those new scales were thin and soft, and the color was wrong... like paint diluted with water.
He didn't want to come.
But after he knew that the person on the other side could communicate, that he was not an "irrational beast", but a "being with thoughts, emotions, and words" - then he hurriedly ran to Master "Heavenly Emperor" to report it.
He said that instead of fighting an enemy that was unbeatable, it was better to help her.
Especially her request is just to "find a child", which is very simple.
So Yinglong is back. He's not here to fight, he's here to "help".
And now, Yinglong was planning to leave.
He has asked "Old Man Tianji" to calculate the whereabouts of the young sea dragon. When the calculation results are found, he will tell the sea snake to take care of the child by herself.
Although "Old Man Tianji" charges a lot of money, Heavenly Emperor said that the cost will be reimbursed by Heavenly Court, so there is no problem.
Then everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers, so he didn't have to work overtime.
Perfect.
Then he felt that the space had changed.
It was as if someone took an invisible pair of scissors and cut a hole in the sky.
The edge of the hole is a crack that is constantly expanding, and the depth of the crack is pure darkness.
Yinglong's eyes suddenly opened wide. "What--"
Light flashed in the clouds.
It's like the light that "space itself is shining". The light is very short, and it only takes less than half a second from the time it appears to the time it goes out.
But it was blindingly bright, and then the light went out. The opening in the clouds closed.
Then a black, huge figure shining with blue light fell from the clouds.
Its speed is so fast that the air is compressed into an arc-shaped, white shock wave on the surface of its body.
Its four claws were spread out in the air, as if trying to grab something.
Then it crashed into the sea.
Like a black meteorite thrown from the sky, it smashed into the sea water with its whole body's weight and acceleration. The splash spread for several kilometers.
Those dragons that were still struggling on the sea were pushed further by the waves.
Yinglong's wings flapped violently, and its body rose several hundred meters upward.
He looked down at the still turbulent sea, and his pupils shrank into two thin lines.
He felt it.
A completely unfamiliar breath that he had never felt before. That breath came from the black giant beast that was standing up from the sea.
The giant beast's dorsal fin flashed with blue light.
Who?
Yinglong's body tensed slightly in the air. His wings spread out, and his breath condensed deep in his throat.
Then another breath appeared.
It was a golden three-headed beast.
Its body squeezed out of the light door, its three heads looked around at the same time, and its six golden vertical pupils shone in the sunlight.
"Hey," the golden beast's telepathy sounded.
"Your positioning is pretty accurate."
King Ghidorah's three heads lowered their heads at the same time, looking at Godzilla in the sea.
Godzilla is standing up from the sea water. The sea water slides off its scales, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.
It shook its head and looked at King Ghidorah.
King Ghidorah's eyes moved away from Godzilla and landed on Yinglong.
He looked at the golden oriental dragon with antlers, a cow's head, shrimp eyes, elephant ears, and a lion's mane. Then his eyes fell on Tiamat in the distance.
The huge sea dragon, emitting blue-purple light, was raising its head from the sea.
King Ghidorah's three heads tilted simultaneously.
"Hmm." His telepathy rang again, this time with a tone of "I seem to recognize this", "This is...Tiamat?"
Yinglong's wings slowly folded in, and his body switched from a "preparing to fight" posture to an "observation" posture.
He looked at King Ghidorah, then at Godzilla, then at Tiamat.
Well, who can tell me - what is the situation now?
