Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 717 - 406: Too Weak, Let Noah Take Over (Part 2)
On the battlefield, the imposing figure of the Dragon-man Monarch couldn’t withstand this strike. The seemingly majestic figure was sent flying backward, plummeting from the sky like a slanting meteor, crashing into the ground and carving a deep trench stretching for miles, burying deep without a trace.
"Brother!"
Seeing his brother in such a predicament, Theodore was anxious. He looked towards the young girl who had already moved away from behind, dragon flames surged from his mouth, and with a flap of his dragon wings, the enormous Giant Dragon lunged, intending to swallow the divine avatar whole.
"How disgraceful! How could the Golden Dragon permit the existence of a mongrel like you!"
Witnessing the move that struck a semblance of familiarity, Serenna, who hadn’t shown much change in expression since her arrival, slightly furrowed her eyebrows and then swiped her palm forward.
Despite appearing frail, the force emanating from the Elf’s body was such that even Theodore, with the physique capable of matching an Ancient Dragon, couldn’t withstand it. The massive dragon body, stretching several dozen meters, spurted blood under her palm, endless shattered Dragon Scales falling from the sky, his condition even more pitiful than his brother’s.
Accompanied by the ground’s soft rumble and tremor, the sky suddenly returned to a momentary silence. However, at this time, the Dragon-man Monarch, who had just been struck underground by the girl’s arrow, burst through the soil layers, clawing out from the depths.
Only now, the Dragon-man Monarch, bearing glorious Dragon Wings, had already regained his peak state, his entire body shimmering with Golden Scales without a hint of weakness.
"You are too weak!"
Seeing the Dragon-man Monarch before her unwilling to concede, still seeking to launch another offense, the Nature Goddess Serenna grew somewhat impatient.
She extended her slender fingers, golden tree roots instantly spreading and intertwining among her fingers, forming into a long sword.
The girl brandished the sword, slashing downward, the glorious Sword Qi erupting like a whirlwind, slicing through the sky, tearing the earth, compelling the Dragon-man Monarch, with nowhere else to hide, to suffer yet another heavy blow.
"Didn’t I say, let Noah come!"
Splurt～
Under one swing of the sword, ruling the Kingdom, deterring all sides, personally leading the army to battle, such that even the battle-hardened wandering Elves dared not turn back to resist, the Dragon-man Monarch was instantly torn apart limb from limb.
The might of the Divine was indeed this extraordinary.
These were the final thoughts of Alexander before his consciousness was engulfed in a dim darkness. He originally thought he could contend against a divine avatar, but now, after personally confronting it, he realized how naive and foolish his initial thoughts were.
His half-brother, Wayne, known as the Demon King, could contend with divine avatars, which did not mean he could do the same. He lacked the qualification to challenge the Divine, at least not now.
"So, how did it feel now that you’ve also clashed with the Divine?"
The sensation of faint consciousness and descent lasted just a moment, and in the blink of an eye, there was infinite Light. Alexander looked up to see a Golden True Dragon coiling within the Sun, gazing at it inspiring awe and reverence.
"I was too arrogant!"
Meeting his great-uncle again, recalling his initial encounter with the Divine, falling to a disadvantage from start to finish, endured a comprehensive crushing defeat, an inexplicable feeling of shame surged in Alexander’s heart, yet this place offered the Dragon-man Monarch no place to hide even a little bit.
"Indeed, you were arrogant, daring to belittle the Divine in such a way. Do you think your brother relies on something significant to oppose the divine avatars?"
Noah couldn’t help but sigh. After discovering he could so readily contend with, and even crush divine avatars, not just in his plane, but in many surrounding planes, memorable individuals brimming with confidence began to appear.
"His Vitality is excessively resilient, he requires no time to recuperate, understand? Even if slain, he has a second body, a third body to rely on. What can you compare to that?"
"He is obviously younger than me, how did he manage that?"
Alexander’s tone conveyed a hint of perplexity, but mostly it was a sense of reluctance because he deemed himself formidable against anyone.
"When did age become a determining factor for strength? He indeed is younger than you, but he accomplishes more, his accumulation and foundation are far more substantial than yours."
Noah snapped, and as Alexander lowered his head to earnestly introspect, the tone of this Holy Dragon softened,
"You two follow entirely different paths. Do not fret over momentary gains or losses. He merely gained a temporary lead by transforming his Race and excelling during the legendary accumulation phase.
In due course, following step by step, whether the strength figures triumphant a hundred years hence remains unknown, but following a millennium, your clash with him will yield a result beyond question."
"Yes, great-uncle, I understand."
"If you truly do, then reflect diligently here; next, I will take control of your body."
"Great-uncle?"
Alexander felt somewhat bewildered.
"Relax, I won’t ruin you. I will help you redeem your dignity!"
The Nature Goddess Serenna gazed downwards upon the Dragon-man Monarch she had cleaved with one powerful sweep, her expression growing ever more impatient.
The earlier swing, she already restrained herself, deliberately sparing his head and only cleaving open his body, incidentally shattering his heart.
Such an injury was severe for this Dragon Clan Favored One, but it wasn’t fatal, yet now, even under the onslaught of the sword, this Dragon-man’s flesh continued regenerating and recovering.
"This is?"
However, as soon as the Dragon-man Monarch’s heart was entirely mended, changes in his body instantly captured the Nature Goddess’s attention, her expression subtly altering. Watching the resurrected Dragon-man standing once more,
"Noah?"
"Yes, what’s the matter?"
Noah extended his hand beside him, catching a well-used Golden Battle Sword. In an instant, Dragon Flame ignited upon the blade. In merely moments, the blade subtly melting, the fractures and notches were wholly mended.
"Power of Faith? You’ve reached such a level already!"
As a Divine being, Serena could discern much; whether Noah’s appearance manner or his methodology for restoring the weapon both brought this Goddess astonishment and trepidation.
"Is talking nonsense all you’ve got?"
Manifesting in his nephew’s body, Noah maneuvered this vessel which wasn’t unfamiliar to him, advancing a step,
Zheng～
Under the golden blade’s sweep, the situation was no longer the supreme one-sided domination by the divine avatar."
"We need to have a conversation!"
"I only know one thing, that truth only exists upon the sword’s edge!"
Though Noah didn’t fondly favor humanoid form, that didn’t mean he was unfamiliar with the battle techniques of humanoid formations; those shepherding his existence, aiding him in honing Dragon Skills, always embraced humanoid shapes.
"Noah, do you not think your divine nemeses are numerous enough?"
The pressure delivered from the blade’s edge grew ever more terrifying, with the Elf Goddess Selena nearly gnashing her teeth, because to her eye, the Dragon-man Monarch now stood amidst a massive vortex of faith, as if limitless power of faith infused within.
This scene shattered her conventional understanding, for no Divine would so flagrantly waste the power of faith, nor would any Divine act so recklessly in utilizing faith’s power.
"Oh? Do you still want to claim your intent here is benevolent?"
Noah let out a scornful laugh, flicking the Mistletoe Sword out of the girl’s hands with a strike before thrusting yet another strike forth. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Why not? There’s practically no reason for conflict between us, our Elf God System bears no Sun God!"
The weaponless girl refrained from creating another weapon using Divine Arts, as though resigned, her captivating elven eyes with hints of blue meeting the Dragon-man Monarch’s own.
"And your means of seeking alliance is assembling numerous Elf Tribes to invade my homeland?"
Noah used the blade’s tip to lift the young girl’s chin, his expression and demeanor reeking of both frivolity and sheer jest.
"If that troubles you, we can issue divine edicts, urging all those Elves to follow your command."
