“It probably died in the Deep Sea Dragon City.”

“Deep Sea Dragon City. Banished to the abyss.”

The Golden Dragonfather furrowed his brows, lost in thought.

It was just an ordinary adult Topaz Dragon; its death was insignificant in the wars of Deep Sea Dragon City. However, ordinary adult dragons were the most numerous in the battles for Dragon City, and their many insignificant deaths could cumulatively secure even the slightest advantage for the more powerful dragons.

“I have no idea how the war in Deep Sea Dragon City has progressed, nor the condition of my father.”

It had been over a decade, and the war between Deep Sea Dragon City and the abyssal prisoners was still ongoing.

Although the Golden Sea had become a perilous forbidden zone with scant information leaking out, one could infer that the situation in Deep Sea Dragon City was far from optimistic.

Gazing into the deep night sky, Saga’s eyes reflected contemplation as he stood up and paced restlessly.

The intensity of the war between Deep Sea Dragon City and the abyssal prisoners was certainly no less than that of the empire wars. Saga hadn’t joined in the past because he was too weak then, only slightly stronger than the average adult dragon, which would have made little impact on the battlefield and could have distracted his father, the top-tier Golden Dragonfather.

But now, things were different.

Times had changed, and Saga could now fight alongside the Golden Dragonfather, providing him with substantial support.

With his current combat prowess, if he were to go to Deep Sea Dragon City, he would undoubtedly shine on the legendary battlefield, and with his unique skills, he could even pose a threat to demigods.

However, the danger of participating in such a war was self-evident.

Danger, danger.

The gaze of the Golden Dragon gradually calmed.

“When have I ever feared danger? I am danger itself.”

“To dance on the blade’s edge, to soar through blood and flames, unstoppable, that is who I am—the King of the Near Seas, the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon, Saga Alzhus!”

Saga slightly lifted his head, his golden pupils gleaming brilliantly against the night, like flames burning fiercely.

As an unprecedented Outsider.

Saga’s strength never solely relied on time for growth. If it were just theoretical, his basic force skills would not be so powerful. Therefore, he never shunned the troubles and dangers he encountered along the way but faced them with eagerness.

Thinking of the potential dangers in Deep Sea Dragon City.

Saga’s first reaction was not fear.

On the contrary, he felt a shiver of excitement, ignited by a fiery fighting spirit.

Knowing the dangers of Deep Sea Dragon City, Saga had already decided to assist the Golden Dragonfather against the vicious abyssal prisoners. With several aces up his sleeve and his unique abilities, if he were to die in Deep Sea Dragon City, Saga would accept his fate.

He was cautious but never feared death.

If even an ordinary Topaz Dragon did not fear danger and faced death head-on, how could he possibly be afraid?

However, now was not the time to head to Deep Sea Dragon City. He had to wait.

Wait until the integration and redistribution of his different kin across various realms were complete, and through the teleportation array, he could better station and defend his territory, ensuring its stability without concerns, then it would be time to depart for Deep Sea Dragon City.

Saga did not want to return from Deep Sea Dragon City, triumphant and mighty, only to find his kin slain and his territory seized in frustration.

There were countless examples of territories being occupied due to the temporary absence of their lords; one must be prepared.

Although Saga did not place much importance on his territory—after all, as long as he grew stronger, he could always establish more new territories—he could not tolerate his possessions being trampled and seized, something no dragon could bear.

Immediately, Saga folded his wings and glided down the mountain, heading to the succubus’s den nestled within.

Quietly observing Iyeona for a while, he set up some gemstone arrays in the depths of her slumbering cave to nourish her body, then Saga left the cave and used the constructed teleportation array to travel directly from Thorn Isle to Starfall Island in the Near Seas.

Ascending high into the sky.

The Golden Dragon circled in the clouds, looking down upon the scenes on Starfall Island.

In some areas of Starfall Island, one could now see creatures that once belonged to Thorn Isle, and on Thorn Isle itself, there were many monsters that had been transferred from Starfall Island.

At the same time.

Around the long-distance teleportation array from Starfall Island to Emerald Gorge.

Black Sharks were coordinating tribes suited for subterranean life, sending them to Emerald Gorge, then from there to the subterranean hollow to guard Saga’s underground territories.

After watching for a short while.

Saga’s gaze shifted slightly, feeling Addison’s call for attention.

Looking down, Saga saw the towering and robust Dragon Vein Storm Giant standing on a hill thick with negative energy and a sinister atmosphere, looking up at him.

Thump!

Seconds later, the Golden Dragon descended from the sky, landing firmly and causing a gust of wind to brush across the face of the Dragon Vein Giant.

“What’s the matter?”

Saga looked at the giant before him.

Addison had now entered the realm of legends, and he was no ordinary one.

Possessing the mighty body of a Dragon Vein Giant, he was also a Legendary Necromancer with a profound mastery of shaping magic, capable of blasting enemies with shaping spells and then using necromancy to raise their corpses as undead to fight for him.

“Your Majesty, I’m terribly bored on Starfall Island.”

Addison scratched his head, showing a troubled expression.

“With your rule, the entire Near Seas now stands united, living in peace.”

“This has left me with no opportunity to prove my worth.”

On one hand, Addison, now a legend, was eager to test his strength; on the other, he sought a multitude of corpses to advance his research in necromancy, but there were hardly any suitable opportunities in the Near Seas.

“Looking for a place to prove your mettle? Good, I understand.”

Saga grinned and said, “Then I’ll send you to Deep Sea Dragon City. Addison, now that you’ve become a legend, participating in the war there will surely allow you to play your part.”

Patting the giant’s shoulder, Saga gave an encouraging look.

The expression on the Dragon Vein Giant’s face turned somewhat blank.

Go to Deep Sea Dragon City? As a giant, I’d be torn apart by the abyssal prisoners, let alone the dragons of Deep Sea Dragon City. Addison swallowed nervously.

“Uh, Your Majesty, that’s not what I meant.”

“You’re sending kin to the underground world, right? Heh, I’d like to expand your territory there.”

“With Aquaman and Black Sharks here, my presence or absence makes little difference.”

Addison shared his thoughts.

Compared to the peace of the Near Seas, he preferred the chaos and darkness of the underground world. Once there, he could delve into his necromancy and shaping magic without restraint, quickly strengthening himself.

“Not going to Deep Sea Dragon City? But this is a great opportunity to fight alongside me.”

Saga raised an eyebrow, saying.

“You jest, Your Majesty. As much as I’d like to, I’m not worthy to fight at your side.”

“But if you insist, I can only risk my life to accompany you!”

The thought of facing both the dragons and abyssal prisoners in the current state of Deep Sea Dragon City made the tall giant look ready to meet his end.

“Alright, I’m just teasing you.”

“With the teleportation array, traveling between the Near Seas and the underground world is easy. If you want to go, then go. If trouble arises in the Near Seas, you can return in time.”

Saga waved his claw nonchalantly.

The Dragon Vein Giant nodded repeatedly.

“I’m like a fish in water, a tiger with wings in the underground world. I’ve planned to go there and develop once I reached legend status, but alas, I died too early.”

Pausing for a moment, Addison let out an excited, strange laugh: “Hehehe, all glory will be yours. I will spread the name of the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon throughout the underground, making countless creatures worship you.”

After the small episode with Addison.

Saga instructed Black Sharks on what to pay attention to during his absence, and during this time, he received news from the Near Seas nations.

“You’re saying that the Shark Empire and Mermaid Empire’s legions have clashed in the Near Seas again. Are you here personally because the warnings from the Near Seas nations were ineffective?”

Duke Raymond, who had come to Starfall Island, nodded and then shook his head.

Then, bowing before the Golden Dragon, he flattered and praised: “Your Majesty, it was incredibly effective.”

“Oh?”

The dragon leaned forward slightly, emitting a meaningful sound.

“Upon discovering the small-scale legion battle between the Shark Empire and Mermaid Empire near the Near Seas, as per your previous orders, my nation immediately dispatched troops and warned them in your name.”

“Unlike the ineffective warnings of the past, this time, as soon as the warning was issued, both sides ceased their conflict and withdrew from the Near Seas.”

Duke Raymond raised his head, looking up at the Golden Dragon with awe.

“Your Majesty, the news of your single-handed destruction of the Rosen Kingdom has now spread throughout the Near Seas, even reaching the Whirlpool Sea and spreading towards the entire Yar Continent.”

“Whether out of fear, reverence, or loyalty, people now call you the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon,”

“The Near Seas are weak, but because of your presence, because of the Emperor Dragon, even the unruly Shark Empire and Mermaid Empire have halted their advance.”

The legions of the two great sea nations that came to the remote Near Seas were small and scattered, not strong enough to provoke Saga, the local dragon.

“Your mere reputation is like an invisible but formidable barrier.”

“My admiration for you is as endless as the waters of the Stormy Ocean.”

Duke Raymond continued with a string of flattery and praise.

The obliteration of a kingdom, especially one near the Near Seas, spread rapidly throughout the region and even to farther areas in a short time.

As the instigator, the King of the Near Seas also received more attention and awe.

Compared to the terror of annihilating an entire kingdom, previous achievements were almost negligible.

Now, the title of King of the Near Seas was gradually fading from people’s hearts, replaced by the Emperor Dragon, the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon, and the Wings of Death.

The previous neutron annihilation had no witnesses.

But this time, the Meteor Shock Star that destroyed a kingdom and countless lives made Saga’s title well-deserved.

Even among demigods, a significant portion of the slain were not even half as powerful as Saga.

In addition to awe and fear, there were also voices calling for nations to unite against the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon, to strangle this terrifying dragon that brought death.

Since the end of the empire wars, how many years had it been since a kingdom-level nation was directly obliterated?

And even during the empire wars, the number of kingdoms erased from the map in one fell swoop was few.

Therefore, the complete destruction of a kingdom drew immense attention.

However, no nation took direct action.

To crusade against the Emperor Dragon who could erase a kingdom spanning a million square kilometers from the map?

Unless they wanted to taste the power of Meteor Shock Star, no rational kingdom would dare to try.

Only empires had the confidence and capability to launch a crusade against him.

And the closest to Saga was the Skyrealm Empire on the Yar Continent.

The Skyrealm Empire took no action, not even a verbal condemnation.

The reason was simple: the Rosen Kingdom that Saga had destroyed was a pawn that the Mechanar Empire wanted to place near the Yar Continent. As an enemy of the Mechanar Empire, the Skyrealm Empire was pleased to see the Rosen Kingdom annihilated and would not intervene.

Unless Saga had destroyed a loyal supporter like the Lionheart Kingdom, the Skyrealm Empire, which preferred to stay above worldly affairs, would not act.

As for the Mechanar Empire, focused on its god-making project and having already abandoned the troublesome Rosen Kingdom, there was no immediate action to crusade.

The two empires most qualified to intervene did nothing, and neither did any other empires.

At the same time.

Unbeknownst to Saga.

In the Lionheart Kingdom, the royal court of Laine.

The third prince, who had recently obtained the whereabouts of the Black Rose and the Lionhead Scepter through a legendary caster’s prophecy, was in a foul mood as he ordered his guards.

“Abandon the pursuit of the Black Rose.”

The captain of the guards asked in confusion, “Your Highness, you spent a fortune to have the legendary caster perform the prophecy. Why give up so easily?”

The third prince’s eyes were lifeless as he muttered:

“What else can I do if not give up? Should I trouble the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon?”

“Sigh, I’d better confess to my father and hope for his forgiveness.”

Through the prophecy, he learned that the Black Rose was actually a subordinate of the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon, and the Lionhead Scepter was in the Emperor Dragon’s treasury.

But.

The recent overwhelming news of the Rosen Kingdom’s destruction also made him realize that the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon was an existence not to be provoked.

Unwittingly, he had caused many ripples.

From the imperial legions repelled by the Near Seas nations, to the prince’s long-prepared pursuit being abandoned, and even the bat succubi treating a certain flamboyant group as honored guests because they claimed to have been companions of the Emperor Dragon of Armageddon, and so on.

This time, Saga truly became famous, his name spreading throughout the Yar Continent and eventually to other continents as well.
