Chapter 288: To Rule One Must Have Power and Connections, Dragon King Ghidorah (I)

Roar!

Once it sensed the presence of the Nine-headed Serpent, the Silver Colossal Dragon let out a violent roar, as its body exuded an explosive and domineering draconic power.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A green storm erupted beneath the sea, filled with ice crystals. Instantly, the surroundings were in turmoil, forming an ice crystal vortex spanning several hundred meters.

As a level 8 colossal beast, its abilities in its domain were hardly affected even in the deep sea. In fact, its power was even stronger here.

Boom!

The Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast shattered the ground beneath its feet and stood upright. In an instant, an ancient aura of ferocity erupted from its body, shaking the seabed.

Next came dazzling flames and lightning. The temperature soared to five thousand degrees Celsius as golden flames erupted within a two-hundred-meter radius. The surrounding water exploded under the combined force of the flames and shattering thunderbolts.

Centered in the golden-blue Thunder Fiery Domain, the boiling water formed violent shockwaves that spread in all directions, affecting an area of several hundred meters.

This was the true power of a level 8 colossal beast with king-level potential. The ancient giant crocodile from before had reached level 8 by devouring Growth Crystals over a long period. However, it had merely been an ordinary colossal beast with average combat strength.

The Deep Sea Ape had been similar, a typical mutated creature brought forth by resources. Even though it had reached level 8, it had still been ordinary and hadn’t even developed an ability domain.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The terrifying display of power instantly awakened the Serpent from its slumber a thousand meters away. Its nine ferocious heads roared in shock and anger.

The Serpent raised its upper body, and its nine thirty-meter-long necks and heads twisted. An aura filled with kingly might exploded from its body.

Boom!

Centered on the Serpent, a domain of scorching red flames mixed with ghostly blue frost spread, covering a range of three hundred meters.

However, unlike the domains of the Thunder Beast and the Silver Dragon, the Serpent’s domain seemed to contain a sense of weight. Under this gravity, the surrounding water became murky and deep, without the explosive phenomena that would destroy everything.

Roar! Saixitia, I will attack head-on. You should use ranged attacks from a distance and unleash your ultimate move when you see an opening for a fatal blow.

With a roar, the Thunder Beast moved, surrounded by thunderbolts and flames. Each step it took shattered the ground, and countless fragments of soil were dried and melted into lava by the intense flames, only to almost immediately cool again under the rolling water.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The black, menacing Serpent let out a violent roar. Surrounded by flames and frost, it fiercely lunged at the Thunder Beast. In the blink of an eye, the two colossal beasts had crossed the thousand-meter distance.

Boom!

The first to make contact were the Thunder Fiery Domain and the Ice Flame Domain. Upon collision, a dazzling shockwave exploded, raising towering waves that illuminated the dark depths of the sea.

The two destructive forces of the domains intertwined and neutralized each other, with the colossal beasts within them charging toward one another.

The Thunder Beast’s claws extended furiously, entwined with golden flames and blue lightning. They contained a hundredfold strength of its innate ability, so powerful that even the space between them twisted.

At the same time, three of the nine serpent heads, possessing black horns, were the thickest and most robust. Enveloped in black energy, they struck at the Thunder Beast with lightning speed.

Boom! Boom!

Destructive golden-blue flames exploded, accompanied by the sound of scales shattering and blood spraying. Two of the thick black heads let out piercing screams.

Now possessing divine abilities, the top-level Strength ability fully demonstrated its might. A mere thought could unleash a hundredfold destructive force, shattering everything.

If not for the Serpent’s king-level bloodline and its late stage level 8 strength, bolstered by its domain and energy, this strike would have obliterated it, rather than just injured it.

Boom!

Just as the Thunder Beast sent two heads flying, another black head descended with lightning speed. Black energy flowed around its sharp teeth as it pierced through the scorching flames and thunder, biting fiercely into the Thunder Beast’s shoulder. The hard scales began to crack under the pressure.

That was all they did, however. Despite the Serpent’s violent growls and the crushing bite force, it only managed to shatter the surface layer of the scales.

Roar!

Seeing that it couldn’t bite through, the black head let out a fierce roar. The muscles in its thick neck exploded with power, attempting to fling the Thunder Beast away… only it didn’t budge.

Suddenly, the violent and ferocious atmosphere between the two colossal beasts paused. All nine pairs of the Serpent’s eyes showed a look of astonishment.

After reaching level 8, the Thunder Beast’s body density had become even more astonishing. It was like a monstrous creature forged from superalloy, a hundred times harder than regular alloy, with an astonishing weight.

In this situation, even with the Serpent’s formidable strength, it couldn’t fling the Thunder Beast away with just one head. It would need to wrap its entire body around it to have any effect.

Roar!

At this moment, the Thunder Beast let out a violent roar, grasping the black head tightly with its claws. In an instant, it unleashed a staggering force and flung it with all its might.

Boom!

The hundred-meter-long Serpent smashed through the water, its flame- and frost-covered body crashing into a hillside hundreds of meters away.

Half of the hillside collapsed immediately, the water exploded, and countless fragments of soil and rock were flung into the air, only to be shattered by the flames and frost in the blink of an eye.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Thunder Beast let out an exhilarating roar toward the surface. Golden flames and thunderbolts surrounded it, and molten lava churned at its feet, making it look like an apocalyptic beast from myth.

This scene stunned the distant Silver Dragon. Although it had long known about the Thunder Beast’s dominant physical strength and unrivaled close combat abilities, it hadn’t expected the Serpent to be suppressed and flung away so easily.

It seemed that the Thunder Beast’s breakthrough had increased its power even more than anticipated.

The distant water exploded, and the Serpent half-rose, its numerous eyes filled with fury as they glared at the Thunder Beast.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Two heads with purple horns opened their mouths wide, and two purple beams instantly pierced through the water, emitting a gravitational force that enveloped the Thunder Beast.

Boom!

The Thunder Beast’s body suddenly sank until it was embedded into the seabed up to its knees. The ground shattered, and large patches of molten lava erupted.

Simultaneously, two heads with red horns and two with blue horns also opened their mouths wide, gathering immense fire and frost powers within.

White ice spears, dozens of meters long and surrounded by green spiral winds, suddenly shot through the water, reaching supersonic speeds and piercing the Ice Flame Domain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the bombardment of hundreds of ice spears, the Serpent’s heads continuously trembled. The breath gathering in their mouths was interrupted, and explosive shockwaves erupted, radiating multicolored lights.

Boom!

The ground shattered, and the Thunder Beast instantly vanished from its original spot. Its indescribable speed was such that it created a vacuum passage behind it as it moved, a destructive tunnel dozens of meters wide that was immediately flooded by the surging water from all directions.

Simultaneously, the distant domain around the Serpent suddenly collapsed. It let out a wretched scream as its massive body crashed heavily into the hillside behind it.

Boom!

The four-hundred-meter-high hillside, already half-collapsed, completely disintegrated. The ground shook, and billowing dust and soil mixed with water surged in all directions. The thunderous roar echoed on the seabed for a long time.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Each of the Serpent’s draconic heads shattered through the mud and stones, accompanied by erupting flames, flashing lightning, chilling frost, and the pulling force of gravity. The two colossal beasts began to fiercely fight amid the ruins.

Wherever they fought, the ground collapsed, and water exploded. Even though the Serpent was larger and two stages higher, it was being severely suppressed by the Thunder Beast’s close combat prowess.

Relying on its invincible defense, the Thunder Beast ignored the biting heads. Its claws smashed everything with their hundredfold strength, causing scales to shatter and blood to splatter from the Serpent’s heads.

Whenever the Serpent tried to distance itself to avoid close combat, the Silver Dragon would interrupt. It had fully embraced its role as a “mage,” excitement gleaming in its eyes as it constantly flapped its wings and launched countless ice spears.

Each spear, over ten meters long, was like an icy missile, exploding upon impact and causing the Serpent to roar in fury. If it hadn’t possessed frost powers itself, it would have been frozen solid by now.

In truth, the Serpent’s combat strength was formidable. Three of its heads, the ones with black horns, were strong and resilient, possessing tremendous power and defense, making it formidable in close combat, while the rest of the heads wielded the supernatural powers of fire, frost, and gravity.

In these conditions, the Serpent was perfect for both ranged and close combat, and its body was incredibly robust, a testament to its king-level bloodline.

Unfortunately, today it faced a joint assault from two equally powerful colossal beasts. Especially the Thunder Beast, which was invincible in close combat at the same level. Without the ability to distance itself and use its innate abilities, the Serpent was almost completely overpowered.
