Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 984 - 539:

Within the goblin race, the pureblood faction advocating for preserving racial purity did emerge, but this faction was soon crushed by the Dragon Fist and Steel Giant Fist.

Power is the foundation of everything. The conservative pureblood faction, if it fails to wield power superior to the hybrids, will naturally be ground into the dirt. The strength of pureblood goblins' lineage goes without saying.

However, although goblin bloodlines have numerous flaws, they also hold special advantages. In learning engineering knowledge, they advance swiftly, and their innovative thinking often brings unexpected surprises.

"On par with gods? Hmph, yet another annoying type? Who knows when the Sky-based Star-Killing Cannon project will be completed? When the time comes, we should hit this kind of guy with a shot."

"Star-Killing Cannon? It's still far off, just a bunch of madmen's concepts."

Upon hearing his companion's resentful and angry remarks, Sugel couldn't resist giving a comment.

"But there's a possibility of realization, isn't there? Your Majesty has endorsed it!"

"Your Majesty indeed endorsed it, but have you forgotten the project's initial name?"

"I remember..."

Even though Claude holds great expectations and fantasies for the project, he must admit that the initial group of project proposers were indeed madmen.

The original name of the project was not Star-Killing but rather Godslaying Cannon.

This wasn't some project to deceive funding; those madmen truly intended to create a weapon system capable of slaying gods. Only, the name 'Godslaying' was too taboo.

Although the Holy Dragon Emperor is not a god, His Majesty's offspring are all divine beings. Hence, after internal discussions, they submitted the Star-Killing Cannon scheme.

But within the Dragon Realm, is there anything that can be hidden from the Holy Dragon Emperor? Even so, such a crazy idea was approved by His Majesty.

Because the Holy Dragon Emperor also endorsed the project, many engineers who thought the project too insane changed their minds and tried to join.

Up until now, the project is still ongoing. As for when it will be completed, those uninvolved do not know, as it belongs to the highest secret of the development system.

"Don't discuss matters irrelevant to work; we have tasks to do."

"Why rush? The Dragon Lion's Tooth unit has nearly been defeated. Even with the intention to rebuild, it's not something achievable in one or two years."

"What outdated ancient news do you have? The rebuilding of Dragon Lion's Tooth is estimated to be completed within a year."

"What? How can it be that quick? Where do they find warriors to replenish the missing ones?"

"Support from other battle groups, of course. The Dragon Lion's Tooth origin battle group, Holy Dragon Sword, sent over a batch of reserves."

"Then if that's the case, doesn't it mean our project period is?"

"Maximum three years, but ideally completed within a year."

"A year? That's a bit tight on time."

"Can't help it!"

The engineers responsible for repairing the Floating City grumbled, but it didn't delay their repairs. Instead, it even sped up the repair process because each engineer had a fire burning within them.

The plight of the Dragon Lion's Tooth battle group has spread throughout the worlds ruled by the Holy Dragon, and not only are various battle groups volunteering for battle, but dragon-men from all worlds are also expressing an extremely strong desire for war.

However, the most radical are naturally the natives of the Dragon Realm. Here, everything is completely dragonified; every living creature, including plants and all species, is related to dragons, differing only in the strength of dragonification.

The number of voluntary dra-men recruits in the Dragon Realm is the largest, and their average quality is also the highest. Not just those dragon-men, but dragon-men responsible for other domains also wish to join the war and personally slay the strange beings daring to offend the Holy Dragon Emperor's majesty.

Nonetheless, the cruelty of this war far exceeds the imagination of the dragon-men. The Sitra Snake-man Empire is the strongest enemy the dragon-men have encountered since they set foot in the Void for plane colonization.

This is because it is a vast empire spanning numerous planes. Even if the opponent has long decayed and fallen over the long years, that decay doesn't render its immense size negligible, especially when a will descends, consolidating the factions originally consumed by internal strife and then unleashing formidable power.

"Another Floating City has fallen? How are those guys fighting? Could it be that the divine-level Big Snake intervened again?"

The Floating City of Dragon Lion's Tooth is not yet fully repaired, but soon, more Floating City wreckage was sent back. Compared to a Floating City with only the core area damaged, leaving other areas relatively intact, what was sent this time was a wreck with only the core area remaining intact, while the peripheral region was nearly smashed to pieces.

"There's no intervention above the divine level; this was a fall during the war."

The dragon man who sent back this Floating City, still repairable, answered tragically,

"We were unfortunate to get caught in a spatial turbulence, falling into the Snake-man's domain. Within their encirclement, we held out for fifty-two days before reinforcements finally arrived..."

"Sorry!"

The Floating City inherited from the ancient Arcane era is considered a miracle of mortal wisdom and claimed glorious achievements in shaking the divine Immortal Throne.

The dragon-men under Noah did not simply replicate the Floating City from the Arcane era but, after mastering its technology, carried out improvements and redesigns based on it.

Therefore, a single Floating City, matched with corresponding dragon-man combat power, can completely suppress a small material world. If ten or more Floating Cities are gathered, it may attempt to capture a medium-sized material world.

Yet, even though the Floating City behaves so powerfully in the Material Realm, making ordinary Kingdom forces difficult to shake it, in front of an empire capable of cross-planar colonization, it is not invincible.

The Floating City of Dragon Lion's Tooth is not the first to be downed, and the second core remains delivered now are not the second Floating City to fall.

Too many Floating Cities have fallen during this war, most lacking repair value, so it might be better to construct anew.

Precisely because of this, dragon-men in the absolutely safe rear find it difficult to perceive the front battlefield's fierceness directly. Only those involved in logistics and support can glimpse the war's grimness from the consumed resources and increasingly thick casualty compensation lists.

Roar～

Blaze radiant through billions of miles, even distorting the Void. Under Noah's command, the dragon-men, to maintain the stability and integrity of the Golden Order, continued to plunge into this fierce war without hesitation. Noah, as the Master of the Holy Court, naturally could not merely observe.

He actively sought the Big Snake supporting the Snake-man Empire and engaged it in a great war in the Void. This snake, wielding the Power of the Sun, was not his sole opponent. Two more entities revealed themselves when he tangled with the Sun Winged Divine Snake.

Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes

The Snake God, who coveted Noah's ancestral bloodline, had previously conflict with Noah. Upon finding Noah so formidable, she chose to intervene, fearing Noah's retribution. Instead of waiting for a one-on-one, she opted to ally with the Sun Snake in resistance.

Besides, there remains a lurking presence in the darkness, aiding the Sun Snake and Snake Mother as they confront Noah, whose body projects nine suns formed during the clash in the Void.

In other words, Noah currently battles three entities alone in the Void, yet this seemingly dire situation is of Noah's own choosing. If he truly intended, those snakes before him should be the ones getting beaten, not him.

Whether it's Odin, who recently reclaimed his divine position, or his father-in-law, Blazing Heaven God Solophis, and his offspring, they could respond to his call to step onto the battlefield.

But Noah is not hurried to involve them because too many beings are eyeing this war. Without reservation, it's uncertain what might transpire then.

Not to mention others, Noah himself has retained considerable strength to guard against contingencies.
