“With the power of a legend, he single-handedly repelled a demigod.”

The dragons gazed up at the Golden Emperor Dragon, who hung silently in the sky, their eyes filled with shock and reverence at the nearly impossible feat he had accomplished.

The situation had been dire.

If the demigod prisoner had succeeded in tearing open the abyssal rift and descending into the material realm, past experience suggested that more legendary prisoners would follow, creating an overwhelming force.

At that point, the Sea Ruins Battle Zone, lacking immediate support from the dragon demigods of the Ginia battle zone, would have fallen, placing immense and unavoidable pressure on other battle zones.

Fortunately, the crisis was averted.

“Phew, these unexpected events are never a good sign.”

Saga twisted his arm and exhaled deeply, thinking to himself.

His golden dragon eyes were filled with an inescapable fatigue.

Continuously bombarding the demigod with Meteor Shock Star was almost like engaging in a direct battle. Although the demigod from the Casserly Abyss was heavily restricted and Saga’s attacks were fierce, successfully repelling the demigod had taken a toll on him.

He looked down, his gaze sweeping over the Sea Ruins Battle Zone.

“This last major dangerous zone is finally resolved.”

“Next, we need to gather all the high-ranking dragon forces at the Ginia battle zone to overturn the situation and end this war.”

Though his body was weary, Saga’s spirit was invigorated.

At that moment, Yekaterina and the Golden Dragon flew over, approaching Saga.

The Golden Dragon gazed at Saga, a look of longing in his eyes, and said in a serious tone, “My friend, after the war, you must hit me with your Meteor Shock Star.”

Saga: …

He couldn’t be bothered to deal with the Golden Dragon’s odd request and pushed his head away with a claw.

“Get lost.”

Saga turned to Yekaterina, smiling slightly, and said joyfully, “Yekaterina, I repelled a demigod’s descent. How should we count this in our competition?”

“Although there’s still the Ginia battle zone, I think you should start thinking about where to begin licking my claws.”

Licking claws?

Do you siblings play like this?

Just as Yekaterina had been confused by the conversation between Saga and the Golden Dragon, the Golden Dragon now looked at them with a strange expression, thinking the same.

Opposite them, Yekaterina’s face stiffened, and her eyes darted around.

“Our agreement didn’t include demigods, only legends.”

“Besides, if you hadn’t acted first, my nuclear fission breath might have repelled it too.”

“And you didn’t kill it, just repelled it. Don’t get too cocky.”

In short, Yekaterina didn’t acknowledge this achievement, knowing that admitting it would mean certain defeat with no chance of a comeback.

“Alright, alright, my dear sister who loves to cheat, I’ll give you one last chance.”

“This time doesn’t count.”

Saga patted Yekaterina’s head, smiling slightly, and said, “But after the final battle in the Ginia battle zone, no more excuses.”

“Hmph, don’t get too cocky. We don’t know who will win in the end.”

Not resisting Saga’s touch, Yekaterina hummed lightly.

Next, the high-ranking dragons who had witnessed Saga repelling the demigod gathered around, looking at him with eyes that saw him as a treasure, a monster, and a prodigy. They finally spoke to both Saga and Yekaterina:

“Nagaias’s greatest achievement isn’t becoming a demigod in a thousand years, but having two such powerful and dazzling offspring.”

“And Hyperion, you’ve also lived up to expectations, becoming a pillar of Dragon City. With you, we will surely achieve final victory in this war.”

Saga was used to receiving recognition from ancient dragons, so he showed no visible reaction.

He nodded and said calmly:

“No, if we win the war, it won’t be because of us joining midway.”

“The true heroes are those of you who have been resisting the abyssal prisoners from the beginning, unafraid of death.”

The high-ranking dragons looked at each other, then burst into hearty dragon laughter:

“Good lad, no need to say such encouraging words to us old fellows. We know full well who the heroes of the war are and who the main characters on the stage are.”

As the laughter subsided, the high-ranking dragons said seriously to Saga and the others:

“Now that all the zones with major rifts have been resolved, let’s return to Deep Sea Dragon City to rest and prepare for the final battle. We look forward to fighting alongside you in the assault on the Ginia battle zone.”

The sound of dragons flapping their wings echoed.

The legendary dragons gradually returned to Deep Sea Dragon City.

After storing the dragon souls in the secret realm as usual, Saga returned to Deep Sea Dragon City with Yekaterina and the Golden Dragon.

Having dealt with both the Black Reef Battle Zone and the Sea Ruins Battle Zone, they needed some time to recover and prepare to end this long-lasting war in their peak state.

The Golden Dragon had its own residence.

But it chose to stay in Saga’s palace.

Saga initially wanted to ruthlessly drive away this persistent fellow who kept asking for a beating.

Until the Golden Dragon spread its wings, allowing sunlight to penetrate the deep water and fall on Saga and Yekaterina, greatly enhancing their already rapid recovery.

The dragon architecture was grand and solemn.

Even with three sizable legendary young dragons in the same palace, it didn’t feel crowded.

With a faint layer of golden sunlight coating their bodies, Saga and Yekaterina sat close together, using their psychic abilities for Mind Synchronization while discussing Silent Fission in their minds.

On one hand, if they could advance Silent Fission before the final battle, it could pose a significant threat to high-ranking legends, making victory much easier for the dragons.

On the other hand, Silent Fission was currently a joint ability, but theoretically, they could each use it independently in the future, so they were very invested in it.

“.When using Silent Fission, the reason high-ranking legends aren’t affected is mainly because of you, Saga.”

Yekaterina said, “Your neutron flood can’t penetrate their defenses, making it hard for my heavy nuclear fission to activate.”

“That’s part of it, but given the control high-ranking legends have over their bodies, even if neutron annihilation could penetrate them, you might not be able to trigger heavy nuclear fission inside them.”

Saga thought for a moment and said seriously.

After pondering for a while, Saga and Yekaterina realized that their life ranks were too low, which was the root cause.

Their abilities were strong enough, even overpowering mid-ranking legends, but as primary legends themselves, they were discussing how to instantly annihilate high-ranking legends. If their life ranks were higher, neutron annihilation could easily penetrate high-ranking defenses, and heavy nuclear fission could trigger effortlessly. But for now, it was very difficult.

Saga disengaged the Mind Synchronization, opening his eyes along with Yekaterina.

At that moment, the Golden Dragon turned its head, looking at the golden dragon with diamond-like scales, and asked, “Saga, where will you go after the war? Stay in Deep Sea Dragon City or leave like before?”

Saga didn’t lift his head, resting on his tail, eyes half-closed.

“Of course, I’ll leave. I might stay here for a while, but not too long. I’ll leave Deep Sea Dragon City again.”

“I prefer the outside world to here.”

His voice was steady, without fluctuations.

“I see. I feel like I lack experience. Since discovering my special talent, I’ve almost always stayed in the vast Stellar Realm, absorbing the sun’s energy to grow quickly.”

“I didn’t think much of it before.”

“But lately, I’ve felt restless, making it harder to absorb energy and slowing my growth.”

The Golden Dragon said seriously, “After thinking it over, I believe it’s because I lack normal experiences, so I’ve decided not to return to the Stellar Realm after the war.”

Staring at Saga, the Golden Dragon smiled brightly and said:

“My friend, you know this material realm well, but I know almost nothing about it outside Deep Sea Dragon City, only the knowledge from my inheritance. After the war, I want to follow you. You always encounter interesting things, which I find to be rich and exciting experiences.”

Saga thought for a moment and said:

“It’s not impossible, but you have to listen to me and not act on your own.”

“The material realm isn’t as good as the outer planes, but our material realm is quite special, probably one of the best in the almost endless material realms. Legendary strength is far from enough to do as you please.”

The Golden Dragon wagged its tail and said:

“No problem, I’m usually reliable.”

The problem is you’re not normal.

Yekaterina glanced at the Golden Dragon, then turned to Saga and said, “I originally planned to leave Dragon City after becoming a legend. If not for the war, my fame would already be widespread.”

“After the war, I’ll leave too.”

Imagining herself ruling the world, Yekaterina lifted her head, her confidence swelling, and said provocatively, “My foolish brother, once I appear before the world, I’ll quickly steal your spotlight. The title of Dragon Empress will spread everywhere.”

Saga lifted his eyelids, looking at his sister, and said:

“Really? I’ll be watching.”

“But you should first think about how to win our competition. Don’t think too far ahead.”

Saga’s words were like needles, deflating Yekaterina.

In every dangerous battle zone, Saga had outperformed her. Yekaterina wasn’t blindly arrogant; she was outwardly confident but inwardly unsure.

Turning her head away, Yekaterina avoided Saga’s gaze, her rarely-used brain working to think of a strategy to turn the tide in the final Ginia battle zone.

Unfortunately.

Even with her brain almost smoking, Yekaterina couldn’t come up with a good idea.

She’d have to improvise.

If worst came to worst, Yekaterina glanced at Saga’s claws.

Her brother’s claws were golden and shiny, with small diamond-like scales and artful curves. They were actually quite beautiful, maybe even nice to lick. Losing wouldn’t be so bad.

Staring at Saga’s beautiful claws, Yekaterina, driven by some strange impulse, thought that losing might not be so terrible after all.

As they rested and recovered, they continued to exchange ideas.

Time passed quietly underwater.

Suddenly, Yekaterina thought of their strict mother, the Red Dragoness, whom she longed to impress.

Looking at Saga, Yekaterina whispered, “Saga, I rarely hear about Mother in Deep Sea Dragon City. Tell me more about her.”

After all, she wasn’t purely an evil dragon; she had Golden Dragon blood.

The bond of blood made it impossible for Yekaterina to forget the Red Dragoness.

There wasn’t much to hide about the Red Dragoness. Hearing Yekaterina’s request, Saga thought for a moment and began recounting the Red Dragoness’s exploits, starting from her rampage through the Rosen Kingdom.

After listening, Yekaterina slowly said, “Favored by the Dragon of Eternity and Time, known as the Hell Queen. Mother is as strong and outstanding as ever.”

Pausing, Yekaterina smiled, a rare sight on her usually cold face, and clenched and unclenched her claws, saying:

“But now, I should be stronger than Mother. When she returns and sees me, she’ll be very surprised.”

Yekaterina’s impression of the Red Dragoness was still from the time on Thorn Isle, when she was a legendary dragon but not yet high-ranking.

Now, as a dragon capable of tearing apart high-ranking beings, Yekaterina naturally thought this way.

On the other side, the golden young dragon shook his head slightly.

No, your mother is still your mother.

The Red Dragoness had long become a demigod and was fighting in a mysterious otherworldly war. If she returned successfully, she would likely have transformed again, reaching a new level.

“This war is most regrettable for lacking Mother’s presence.”

“If she could return to the material realm and join the battle, it would be wonderful.”

“I want to fight alongside her, to protect her, and let her witness my strength.”

Yekaterina said with a mix of regret and pride.

Saga nodded in agreement, not contradicting her.

Not long after, the Golden Dragonfather returned from the Ginia battle zone to Deep Sea Dragon City and came to see Saga and Yekaterina.

“My children.”

The Golden Dragonfather said with a tone of satisfaction:

“You’ve done exceptionally well. Even I didn’t expect you to resolve the dangerous zones so quickly and efficiently.”

“Though time is still pressing, you’ve given us a chance to catch our breath before the final assault on the Ginia battle zone.”

The Golden Dragon also stood up, bowing slightly to the Golden Dragonfather, and said, “And me, Nagaias.”

The Golden Dragonfather laughed heartily and said to the Golden Dragon:

“Of course, Hyperion, you appeared just in time.”

“Without you stepping up to handle the worsening Black Reef Battle Zone, Saga and Yekaterina would have faced even more trouble.”

“By the way, your ancient dragon elder is still tied up in the Ginia battle zone. They asked me to tell you that you’ve done well, and they are proud of you.”

The Golden Dragon and the Gemstone Dragon were also siblings, their bloodline tracing back to an ancient golden dragon of demigod level. Charlotte carried many treasures from that elder’s hoard.

“Father, we’ve recovered.”

“The high-ranking dragon forces have gathered in Deep Sea Dragon City. When will we launch the final assault on the Ginia battle zone?”

After stabilizing the dangerous zones, the powerful dragons rested in Deep Sea Dragon City, recovering. Now, they were almost fully prepared.

Hearing Saga’s question, the Golden Dragonfather smiled slightly.

“Right now!”

Raising his head, the Golden Dragonfather sent golden ripples through the water, spreading his call to all the high-ranking dragons in Deep Sea Dragon City.

“The flames of war have burned in the Golden Sea for twenty years, but now, thanks to the exceptional performance of several dragon prodigies, we have a chance to extinguish the flames and end the war.”

“Dragon warriors, who will fight alongside me to end this war!”

After a moment of silence.

Dragon roars filled with battle intent echoed continuously, the dragons long ready for the final battle.

“Good, let the abyssal prisoners of Casserly know the might of the Dragon Kind! Deep Sea Dragon City, rise and fight!”

With a long roar, the Golden Dragonfather appeared outside the palace, his body shining with golden light, leading the charge towards the Ginia battle zone.

Saga, Yekaterina, and Hyperion, the three legendary young dragons with outstanding achievements, followed closely.

The sea seemed to boil, the combined Dragon Might almost freezing the water.

Dragons surged, their wings flapping, rising from Deep Sea Dragon City and heading towards the Ginia battle zone for the final war.
