Beneath the Red Dragon

In everyone’s eyes, the Ancestral Red Dragon in the sky was like a red sun descending, connecting all the light, its path shining brightly, with awe-inspiring majesty.

Even the White Dragon Saclese, who prided himself on his superiority, felt the power of the Dragon Emperor at this moment, was deeply moved, and once again radiated the splendor of a Giant Dragon, as if the silence after being defeated by the King of Frost Giants was swept away at this moment.

"Roar,"

The continuous Dragon Roars rose and fell, as the observing Wild Dragons, unable to suppress the Evil Dragon Blood boiling within their bodies, roared skyward, as if fiercely responding to the arrival of this Ancestral Red Dragon.

The dragons of the Golden Empire, Blue Dragon Akzhi, Blue Dragon Carlette, White Dragon Sloraka, White Dragon Roni, and two restrained male Green Dragons, lightly bowed their heads at this moment, saluting the King of Dragons above in the sky.

"Hail, victory to the Empire, victory to the Emperor, victory to my lord!"

The Legion of the Golden Empire echoed in unison, with iron armor and steel weapons clashing, the sound resounded through the clouds.

Only the Frost Giant Corps, facing the oppressive will of the Ancestral Red Dragon, felt an instinctual fear of this powerful creature as those dark golden pupils looked down upon them.

This was the oppression of bloodline, the Dragon’s Majesty of a True Dragon, and the authority of the Emperor of the Imperial.

The weak Half-Beastmen and Winter Wolves couldn’t help but lower their heads, while some beasts and Fierce Dragon Beasts even lay directly on the ground, whimpering in distress.

But the King of Frost Giants, with his suddenly burgeoning will and aura, as if in the prelude to a fierce storm, carried a resolute belief.

It was a resistance will, spurring the race to rise against the difficult path ahead, infecting all the Frost Giants to withstand the mental oppression of the Ancestral Red Dragon.

The momentum of the King of Frost Giants was like a battle lance, piercing through the aura shrouding the Ancestral Red Dragon, steadily rising, as if he could bear the weight of the heavens falling, standing firm on his shoulders.

"Hmm, you have potential," Karon spread his wings wide, his body appearing in the color of real flesh and blood, as if real muscles were pulsating.

Countless metals once consumed by Karon were combined through Karon’s analysis and reconstruction into alloys of varying density properties.

Unlike experiments on his Giant Dragon true form, he could entirely focus on sturdiness and strength for this simulated avatar without concern for intricate structures like cells.

This resulted in the simulated avatar having an extremely compressed body structure density. Although Karon’s abilities haven’t yet reached the point of gravitational compression to create neutron material, he was exploring in that direction.

This also led to the Ancestral Red Dragon’s body starting to attract the gravity of the earth due to its own mass, affecting the changes in light.

Causing the sunlight to flicker on his body surface, resembling an Evil Demon Dragon.

However, his words were even more evil than his appearance.

"Originally, I am digesting something. If I borrow too much power from my true form, it would interrupt my digestion process, which would make me angry,"

The Ancestral Red Dragon’s dark golden eyes surveyed the serious-looking King of Frost Giants and said lightly: "When I get angry, I feel like killing you directly."

"Arrogant," upon the Ancestral Red Dragon’s words, a Frost Giant couldn’t help but angrily roar.

Yet Karon’s eyes merely glanced at that Frost Giant, and suddenly it darkened around him.

Lines of fire, born as if absorbing all power and temperature from solar radiation waves, instantly crisscrossed, cutting this audacious Frost Giant into several charred pieces of meat.

Such unexpected change, even the King of Frost Giants couldn’t prevent in time.

The King of Frost Giants’ expression darkened and he said to the Frost Giants behind, "A meeting between kings, how can you butt in? Withdraw three miles."

Then he turned and said solemnly, "Dragon Emperor, there’s no need to bother with such feeble people,"

Karon’s dark golden eyes fixed on this King of Frost Giants, showing an intriguing smile.

"You are a clever and insightful Frost Giant. If you were like those foolish Beastmen, not only would your Frost Giant Corps be obliterated under the Imperial forces, but if you made a move, I would kill you alive."

The calm face of the King of Frost Giants slightly twitched, and the throbbing veins were faintly visible on his forehead, but as the Red Dragon said, he was not a reckless individual, so he held back.

"In my original plan, if Akzhi successfully met with you and you accepted my plan, then your Frost Giant civilization, under your wise leadership, has the potential for growth,"

"After all, in any world, the progress of civilization and wisdom is always composed of mutations and gradual developments, and nothing develops uniformly."

Karon laughed and said, "Frost Giants aren’t worth mentioning in my eyes, but your existence might bring me some surprises."

"However, I really wanted to kill you just now, but now I find your value far exceeds that of the overall Frost Giant civilization; you already have the embryonic form of your own ideology, maybe you’ll find your path of Legendary Celestial Destiny."

"So, I can give you another choice," Karon Gogomola looked down upon the Frost Giant King, who appeared taller than the dragon himself.

He said softly, "Accept my plan, and you Frost Giants would still be ruled by you, as an independent civilization, and you could get what you want, or reject my plan, and I’ll kill you now, then all the Frost Giants must die."

The pupils of the King of Frost Giants were suddenly enlarged, a chilling killing intent streamed from the words of the Ancestral Red Dragon.

But he restrained his anger, and with calm wisdom, he retained rational thinking.

"With your power, you could dominate all the races in the Frost Plains, yet why do this?" Doubt and puzzlement appeared in the eyes of this King of Frost Giants for the first time.

"You have your direction, I have my choices," Karon said lightly: "Even in the Golden Empire, under my will, it’s not guaranteed that the path of the Empire is always the correct one, offering me the correct wisdom enlightenment."

"Though in my plan, I envisioned that Frost Giants would eventually be assimilated into the civilization of the Golden Empire, I still very much expect you to lead the Frost Giants, to walk a path that is different."

"To conquer just for the sake of conquest is such a foolish thing I cannot do," said Karon.

Whether considering Karon’s personal deliberation or the plan of the Imperial Staff Department, ruling over these Frost Giants was an unprofitable undertaking.

It would not only intensify external panic towards the Golden Empire but also consume the Empire’s strength in supplying these Frost Giants.

The current Golden Empire still has vast territories that need assimilation, and there’s no need for the vast lands of the Extreme Ice Frost Plains. If the King of Frost Giants accepts the plan, the Empire could also gain relevant resources from the Far North through trade.

"I accept," the King of Frost Giants said in a low voice after a long silence. "But your plan, I should be informed."

"Although I am the Emperor of the Empire, what if I tell you I’m not that involved in the management, would you believe it?" The majesty faded from Karon’s form, replaced by something the King of Frost Giants couldn’t comprehend, a rogue?

"Hoo," the King of Frost Giants exhaled sharply and spoke, "I still very much want to challenge you, to see the gap between you and me."

"Of course, you can," Karon turned, took to the sky with a flap of his wings, leaving behind his deep Dragon Language.

"Three months later, you can come to me at any time,"

"Of course, even if you don’t come to me, at a future time, I will come to find you, starting with you."

"If you can’t achieve progress that satisfies me, can’t bring me a bit of help, I will, kill you!"
