“Saga, my dear brother, it’s so good to see you again.”
After their helmets touched for a moment, Yekaterina looked at the Golden Dragon in front of her and whispered softly.
Yekaterina, usually proud and aloof, couldn’t help but show her true feelings upon reuniting in this prison cage, shedding her cold and violent mask to reveal a gentler side.
Hearing the Abyssal Empress’s whisper, the prisoners present finally understood.
These two unique and exceptionally powerful legendary dragons were actually family!
“Yekaterina, when I discovered we had been exiled to different cages, I thought it would be ages before we met again.”
“I’m very happy to see you so soon.”
“With you here, life in the Casserly Abyss won’t be dull and boring.”
This time, Saga didn’t tease his dragon sister but spoke slowly.
A few minutes later.
In the Sooty Mountains.
Inside the resplendent Emperor Dragon Palace.
A golden and a red dragon, both enormous, coiled on the ground, recounting their experiences and encounters after being exiled to the Casserly Abyss.
From Yekaterina’s words, Saga learned that perhaps because she was comparable to a higher deity in rank, the oppressive invasion of the Casserly Abyss had no effect on her. Similarly, Yekaterina discovered the effects of sand essence stones and black swamp stones on herself, and quickly advanced to high-ranking Legendary by relying on these two minerals.
In another cage.
With cold-blooded slaughter, violent destruction, and devastation, she conquered all the abyssal prisoners, turning any who resisted into ashes.
Yekaterina’s plan was to conquer one cage after another.
She believed that sooner or later, she would find Saga this way.
Fortunately, their cages were adjacent, and after several years, both Saga and Yekaterina became rulers of their respective cages and reunited.
“Saga, what do you think of my new title?”
“It wasn’t self-proclaimed; it was given to me by the abyssal prisoners who feared my power.”
Yekaterina looked at the Golden Dragon in front of her, raising her head slightly with a hint of pride.
“Abyssal Empress. Honestly, it’s a very fitting title.”
Saga said sincerely.
In dragon culture, especially from the aesthetic of Evil Dragons, Yekaterina’s title was grand and imposing, much more so than something simple like Flame Dragon or Wing of Destruction.
In the Great Ring Multiverse, the Abyss and Hell were undoubtedly among the most famous planes.
With her current power, Yekaterina was far from living up to her title.
But that was normal.
Titles were often exaggerated and served as a goal to inspire dragons to grow stronger. Saga’s title of Emperor Dragon was the same.
“One day, I will make all creatures in the Casserly Abyss fear my evil and power, fear my name, and let the eternal red glow of the Casserly Abyss for billions of years witness my rise.”
Yekaterina’s eyes sparkled, and she spoke with determination.
After a pause, she looked at Saga and said seriously:
“Saga, my dear brother, I hope you will accompany and witness this journey with me.”
“I am willing to rule this place with you, to share the hegemony.”
After coming to the Casserly Abyss, a place that plunged countless beings into despair, Yekaterina not only didn’t feel disheartened but found the air here sweet and the wind free.
It was as if a tiger had finally returned to the mountains from its cage.
Fully unleashing her nature, shedding all shackles and restraints.
Yekaterina had never felt so wonderful.
In comparison, the material world was her true cage.
The Golden Dragon thought for a moment, looked at Yekaterina, and pondered:
“It sounds like you have no intention of leaving the Casserly Abyss.”
Seeing the spirited Yekaterina, Saga realized that his dragon sister actually liked the environment of the Casserly Abyss very much.
Indeed.
In the material world, due to the unconscious dangerous radiation she emitted, even in the Deep Sea Dragon City full of dragons, Yekaterina was lonely, almost isolated, with only the Golden Dragonfather being familiar, and she had to suppress her violent instincts.
But in the Casserly Abyss.
She didn’t need to suppress herself at all.
She could do whatever she wanted, without any scruples.
Unlike Saga, who was neutral by nature and saw killing as a means rather than an end, Yekaterina was truly evil, taking pleasure in killing and destruction.
“Of course.”
“People fear this place, but for me, it’s ‘paradise.’”
“I’m very glad I decided to come to the Casserly Abyss with you back then.”
Yekaterina didn’t hide her love for the Casserly Abyss and said.
After pondering for a moment, Saga looked directly at Yekaterina and said slowly:
“Yekaterina, I am willing to witness your journey to becoming the true Abyssal Empress.”
“However, I still have some attachments in the material world and can’t stay in the Casserly Abyss forever.”
Yekaterina was slightly stunned.
“You want to leave the Casserly Abyss and return to the material world?”
“Do you have a way to go back?”
Saga nodded slightly and said, “There is a way, and it should work.”
Reigniting the spark, after the first random teleportation, he could go wherever he wanted, returning to the material world with ease.
Yekaterina fell silent.
A few seconds later, she said:
“The Casserly Abyss is easy to enter but hard to leave. Since you can leave, you should be able to return after finishing your business in the material world, right?”
Once Saga mastered the spark.
The imprisonment of the Casserly Abyss would be meaningless to him, like his own backyard, where he could come and go as he pleased.
After some thought, Saga nodded seriously and said:
“Of course, I won’t stay in the Casserly Abyss forever.”
“But if you like it here and plan to stay, I won’t abandon you.”
“When you need me, I will come to the Casserly Abyss and be by your side.”
Hearing Saga’s words, a rare bright smile appeared on Yekaterina’s usually cold face, like ice melting, a clear spring flowing, and countless flowers blooming simultaneously, an unprecedented beauty.
If charm could be quantified.
Yekaterina’s charm would have skyrocketed several times at this moment.
“When you need me, no matter what, I will appear before you.”
Yekaterina said.
After a pause, she asked in confusion, “But the Casserly Abyss isolates communication. If you’re in another plane and I’m in the Casserly Abyss, how will we communicate?”
Saga and Yekaterina shared a telepathic command.
During the battle between the Deep Sea Dragon City and the abyssal prisoners, Saga and Yekaterina synchronized their minds and used Silent Fission together, establishing a telepathic command.
But after being exiled to the Casserly Abyss, Saga tried using the telepathic command but received no response.
And it wasn’t just Yekaterina; even the connection between Saga and his Psychic Guard, and his Dragon Vein followers, was cut off by the Casserly Abyss. Only within the same cage in the Casserly Abyss did such communication methods work.
If it weren’t for a nearby abyssal rift, even the dying oracle of the Titan God of Wrath wouldn’t have been transmitted.
Otherwise, if too many methods could reach outside the Casserly Abyss, it wouldn’t be considered the most terrifying prison cage, making people turn pale at the mention.
“Not yet, but soon, cross-plane communication won’t be a problem.”
The spark’s function wasn’t just space travel.
Although he hadn’t officially ignited it, through multiple attempts, Saga’s connection with the spark deepened, and he intuitively understood more of its functions.
Once the spark was ignited, communication would no longer be an issue for Saga.
Yekaterina nodded and then asked:
“When are you planning to leave the Casserly Abyss?”
Saga looked at Yekaterina and said slowly:
“I originally planned to find you first, then consider leaving the Casserly Abyss.”
“Now that you’re in front of me, I’ll leave the Casserly Abyss once I officially step into the demigod realm.”
“When you become a demigod and return to the material world, you should be able to dominate an entire world on your own.”
Yekaterina said:
“As we grow stronger, the material world will seem increasingly narrow and small. The outer planes are our ultimate stage.”
After a pause, she continued:
“The Casserly Abyss is a place even deities can’t enter and exit freely. Saga, how do you plan to leave?”
Saga thought for a moment, raised his dragon claw, and said:
“Just because deities can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t.”
Power Essence burst forth, transforming into a surging gravitational twist, causing the surrounding space to ripple like water.
“My abilities aren’t affected by the Casserly Abyss’s seal.”
Explaining the spark and the infinite multiverse was too complicated, and the Traveling Mage had mentioned in his notes that deities from the Great Ring were hunting him. It wasn’t that Saga didn’t trust Yekaterina, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, the fewer people who knew about the spark, the better.
“As expected of my brother.”
“Though you’re slightly inferior to me, you always manage to do something extraordinary.”
Yekaterina didn’t doubt him and praised him, not forgetting to elevate herself in the process.
Saga: …………
If I don’t put you in your place, your tail will reach the sky!
A big smile appeared on Saga’s dragon face, making Yekaterina feel a bit uneasy.
Saga stared into Yekaterina’s eyes, raised his chin, and said slowly:
“Yekaterina, my promise-keeping, never-breaking dragon sister, have you forgotten something?”
Seeing the smile on Saga’s face, Yekaterina’s heart tightened.
“W-what thing?”
Her voice stammered a bit as she feigned ignorance.
“Oh? Yekaterina, is your memory that bad?”
Yekaterina tilted her head, avoiding Saga’s gaze, and said in a weak voice:
“Well… since we’re in the Casserly Abyss now and have decided to develop here, I’ve thrown all past matters behind me and can’t remember things from the material world.”
Saga nodded, deeply agreeing: “Indeed, you’ve only killed one or two high-ranking Legendary prisoners. Such a shameful record isn’t worth remembering.”
Hearing Saga’s disdainful whisper, Yekaterina immediately retorted.
“Saga, you’re talking nonsense. I’ve killed more than a dozen high-ranking prisoners!”
Saga raised an eyebrow and said:
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t remember things from the material world? Seems like you remember quite clearly.”
Yekaterina’s dragon face stiffened.
Realizing what had happened, she saw the teasing expression on Saga’s dragon face and became angry and embarrassed:
“Saga, my hateful brother, I trusted you, and you tricked me.”
“Is that considered a trick? Yekaterina, my lovely dragon sister, your wisdom still has much room for improvement.”
Meanwhile.
Looking at the embarrassed Yekaterina, Saga said in a cheerful tone:
“Stop struggling, it’s time to fulfill our bet.”
“Let’s start with the claws.”
Under Yekaterina’s gaze, Saga elegantly raised his dragon claw and extended it toward her.
The curve of his claw was just right, sharp and pointed.
His palm was covered with diamond-shaped scales, with countless tiny facets inside, shimmering faintly, changing with different angles, looking like a meticulously crafted artwork, yet full of wildness and danger.
…It doesn’t seem so bad…
Looking at the golden dragon claw in front of her, Yekaterina’s gaze moved upward to Saga’s majestic and strong body, making her blood flow slightly faster.
Hoo…
Exhaling deeply, Yekaterina’s breathing became hot and heavy.
Moving closer.
Yekaterina opened her dragon mouth, extending a moist, slightly saliva-covered pink dragon tongue.
The atmosphere around them became strange.
Time seemed to slow down.
Covered in gem-like red scales with golden streaks, Yekaterina extended her dragon tongue, touching the golden dragon’s claw.
It felt like an electric shock.
The dragon tongue and claw touched briefly and then separated.
But after hesitating for two or three seconds, she extended it again.
Hard, hot, with a slight sandpaper texture, and a strong dragon scent…
The overall taste was strange, but not unpleasant for Yekaterina.
On the other side.
Watching the dragon lowering her head and focusing on licking his claw, Saga’s heart pounded rapidly.
Warm.
Gentle.
…The sensation made Saga’s heart race.
Meanwhile, the temperature of both dragons gradually rose, causing the surrounding temperature to climb and the air to ripple unnaturally.
Seemingly unsatisfied with just licking the claw.
Yekaterina instinctively moved closer, lowering her body and pressing against Saga, red scales rubbing against golden scales, emitting strange breaths.
Saga hesitated no longer, lightly biting Yekaterina’s nape and moving forward.
