“I haven’t lost yet, Emperor Dragon. Don’t get too cocky.”
Listening to the oppressive voice of the black and gold dragon, the blood-soaked Elf King took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
At the same time, the numerous broken sword fragments embedded in his body melted into red light, flowing into his body like water. The wounds on his body healed instantly, and his muscles, hidden beneath his blood-red skin, appeared strong and agile.
“In that case, continue your futile resistance. I will dismantle all your attacks, crush your pride, and make you submit to me in despair.”
The black and gold dragon looked down with disdain and said calmly.
For Saga, the idea of subduing the Elf King began to take root.
He wanted to gather sand essence stones and black swamp stones in the Casserly Abyss, but relying solely on himself was not enough. He needed to form a force and recruit some abyssal prisoners to serve him.
If it weren’t for the need to charge the dragon soul, he wouldn’t have engaged in such slaughter.
Subduing abyssal prisoners to work for him was a better choice for Saga.
Moreover, this elf was different from the usual elves. He had no faith, challenged the main deity, and was undoubtedly a rebel among the elven tribe.
During the Dragonfall War, the main enemies of the Dragon Kind were elves and giants. Although it wasn’t to the extent of an endless feud like with the giants, as a dragon, he naturally had no fondness for elves.
Recruiting a rebellious elf seemed interesting to Saga.
Most importantly, Saga believed that although the Elf King was not his match, he was strong enough, far superior to other legendary prisoners.
Currently, Saga could deal with high-ranking prisoners with just a few moves, but killing the Elf King would require significant effort. If the Elf King chose to flee, it might not even be possible to kill him.
If he could successfully subdue him, the Elf King would be a great general in the Casserly Abyss.
“Submit to you?”
Hearing Saga’s words, the Elf King suddenly smiled.
Even when exiled to the abyss, the Elf King refused to offer faith to the Elf God. However, if he were to lose to Saga, he wouldn’t mind serving him.
The Elf King had a proud heart.
Although the Elf God, a higher deity, defeated him at the same level, he couldn’t make the Elf King submit willingly. A being of a higher life level, even when lowering their level, still had a significant advantage.
However, the Elf King could confirm that the powerful dragon before him was just a legend like himself.
In fact, the dragon’s life level was even lower, only at the sixth tier of legend.
The Elf King was not one to be defeated easily.
If he were to be defeated by someone of a lower life level, he wouldn’t hold onto meaningless pride and would willingly submit.
“Alright.”
The Elf King gazed at the black and gold dragon before him and said in a deep voice:
“I will give you my utmost respect and my strongest attack.”
“If you can still stand unscathed, I will submit to you completely, serve you, and follow you to see how far you can go.”
“On the other hand, if I defeat you, Emperor Dragon, you will bow to me, respect me as your king, and witness my reign.”
On the other side.
Saga’s eyes were as calm as a deep pool, and he said concisely:
“Reasonable request, agreed.”
Without any oaths or contracts, just a simple verbal agreement.
The Elf King’s expression turned solemn, and his small body rapidly ascended into the sky.
During this process, his entire body radiated the most brilliant red light. The blood-red light spread across the sky and earth, centered on the Elf King.
“My body shall become the burning Blood Sun.”
Blood Sun of Doom!
With the Elf King’s roar echoing through the sky.
The sphere seemed to come alive, with endless red light bursting from the sky, then seemingly attracted by an invisible force, converging madly towards the Elf King in the sky.
In an instant, a massive abyssal blood sun rose, reflected in Saga’s golden dragon eyes.
The red light, which should have been omnipresent, became unprecedentedly dim, as if all the red light had been absorbed into the abyssal blood sun, creating an unprecedented sense of oppression.
At the same time, the abyssal prisoners were surprised to find that the red light’s invasion had significantly reduced, almost to the point of being unnoticeable.
In the center of the blood sun, the Elf King’s figure was faintly visible.
The massive blood sun in the sky attracted countless gazes.
Feeling its terrifying aura, the abyssal prisoners watching the battle felt their hearts tremble and their breaths catch.
“Hiss, is the Blood Sun King really still a legend? The oppressive power of this move is stronger than some demigods.”
“Why is there such a huge gap among legends?”
“How will the Emperor Dragon respond? Can he withstand such an attack head-on?”
This duel between the strongest legends captivated the abyssal prisoners, making it hard for them to look away, their thoughts in turmoil.
“Fall and annihilate the enemy!”
At the same time, the Elf King’s voice rang out again.
The massive blood sun in the sky began to move, descending towards the black and gold dragon below with an unstoppable, all-destroying momentum.
Looking up at the approaching blood sun, the black and gold dragon showed no fear.
Sizzling sounds. Bright white lightning patterns began to appear, crisscrossing and covering the dragon’s entire body in an instant. The dragon’s body also expanded rapidly, transforming into a colossal beast with a wingspan of over a thousand meters, blocking out the sky and sun, like a towering mountain.
The dragon’s might, as deep and terrifying as an abyss, swept across the battlefield like a storm.
The supermassive electromagnetic dragon form, which had once defeated the Titan God of Wrath and caused his demise in the material plane, reappeared in the Casserly Abyss.
Using two powerful forms simultaneously required an exceptionally strong will to control.
Although Saga, not yet a demigod, couldn’t use this move at will, he could briefly recreate this powerful state.
“Bow your head and welcome the king you will serve.”
The dragon wings flapped, stirring up a storm like a mountain and sea.
Ignoring the immense pressure of the Blood Sun of Doom, the colossal dragon soared upwards, actively approaching.
In an instant, the two converging forces were within reach.
The entire field of vision was filled with the blood-red sun. The supermassive electromagnetic dragon charged forward, directly colliding with it.
Boom!
The whole world seemed to fall silent for a moment, then, like a collision between stars, a terrifying shockwave erupted in the sky.
Blood-red light, bright white lightning, and pitch-black supermassive gravitational waves. The mere aftermath turned the surroundings into a lifeless zone, reducing the already devastated mountains to dust.
The abyssal prisoners, who had retreated far away, were terrified, retreating further until they could no longer see the specific figures of the Blood Sun King and the Emperor Dragon, only vaguely seeing the black and white dragon shadow and the blood-red light clashing.
Under the tense gaze of the abyssal prisoners.
The black and white dragon shadow advanced inch by inch, unstoppable.
On the other side, the blood-red light retreated step by step, gradually dimming.
A few seconds later.
Boom!
The entire blood sun shattered, turning into endless crimson light. Saga, at close range, bore the brunt, but the red light of the Casserly Abyss, which could invade everything and even affect deities, couldn’t harm Saga.
The dim red light in the area filled up again.
The abyssal prisoners once again felt the inescapable erosion.
At the same time, at the center of the radiant light.
The golden dragon, back to its normal form, looked down at his outstretched dragon claw. The Elf King’s body swayed slightly, standing on his dragon claw.
The once handsome Elf King now had a haggard face and withered skin.
At first glance, he almost looked like an ugly lich.
Under the golden dragon’s gaze.
Feeling the still vigorous life force of the other party, the exhausted Elf King moved his lips, slowly lowered his head, and said, “I lost.”
The red light around him shone on the Elf King.
His body began to recover at a visible speed.
Lifting his head, the Elf King was silent for a moment, then looked up at the golden dragon’s face and said in a deep voice, “I, Ramiel, the Blood Sun Elf, willingly submit to you. From now on, I will serve you, respect you as my king.”
Bathed in the red light.
The golden dragon’s eyes were deep as he said:
“Ramiel, you will be one of my great generals, rising with me in the Casserly Abyss.”
Saga said quietly:
“I am not a king who harshly treats his followers. If you have any strong desires, you can pursue them while serving me.”
Another dragon claw extended, a hooked talon touching the Elf King’s forehead.
The power of electromagnetism and psychic energy combined, forming a mental brand that entered the Elf King’s mind.
The Elf King did not resist, his expression unchanged:
“Even if it means opposing the elven tribe and the Elf God? I have only one wish, to overthrow the elven theocracy, become the supreme ruler of the elven tribe, and trample the false deities underfoot.”
This rebellious mindset was one of the reasons Saga wanted to recruit the Elf King.
“That’s an ambitious goal.”
Saga withdrew his claw and said, “I will watch with interest and provide some support. You fight for me, and I will give you protection.”
Pausing, Saga glanced at the abyssal prisoners still watching.
“For now, let’s set aside grand ambitions. First, help me eliminate the nearby abyssal prisoners.”
“In your weakened state, can you do that?”
Enjoying the spectacle?
I’m just short of a few souls right now.
The dragon soul still needs a bit more to be fully restored. Saga’s primary goal in coming here was to kill and collect souls, and he hadn’t forgotten his original intention.
“A bunch of rabble, a group of mediocre legends, they will vanish in an instant before me.”
Without asking for reasons, the Elf King turned into a blood-red light, approaching the nearby abyssal prisoners.
Most of the surrounding abyssal prisoners were previously under the Elf King’s command.
But he had no qualms about Saga’s order.
He didn’t care about the life or death of these abyssal prisoners. The naturally cold-hearted Elf King wouldn’t hesitate to kill his own kind, let alone prisoners filled with betrayal and conflict.
At first, seeing the Elf King approach, the abyssal prisoners didn’t sense danger, thinking he was their former lord.
Until.
Slash!
A blood-red sword light flashed, and a high-ranking prisoner in front of the Elf King stood in a daze, his body split in two.
Seeing the aggressive and murderous Elf King, the abyssal prisoners began to flee in panic, and a merciless slaughter ensued.
The Elf King’s attacks were fierce enough to break through Saga’s non-full-power Force Field and move as fast as lightning, dodging Saga’s Dragon Breath.
Even in his weakened state.
He was still like a higher-dimensional being against the surrounding legendary prisoners.
Blood-red sword lights flashed continuously, and one by one, the abyssal prisoners fell under his sword.
“Finally, I don’t have to personally handle such trivial matters.”
“It’s always best to have some capable subordinates.”
Watching the rampaging Elf King, Saga thought with satisfaction.
Killing groups of abyssal prisoners to collect souls wasn’t something Saga was very interested in. Weak opponents didn’t excite his fighting spirit; at least someone like the Elf King could make Saga feel interested.
Opening the Dragon Soul Sanctuary.
One by one, souls were forcibly captured by Saga and drawn into the Dragon Soul Sanctuary.
Meanwhile.
The Eternal Punishment Dragon, left behind by Saga, finally arrived. Seeing the Elf King in a killing spree, it instinctively wanted to run away.
Fortunately, it saw the calm golden dragon and relaxed.
Before long.
Under the Elf King’s pursuit, few abyssal prisoners remained nearby.
Facing the expressionless Elf King, the last high-ranking prisoner, driven to despair, showed a look of hopelessness.
“Stop, that’s enough.”
Saga’s voice came, and the sword that was almost at the high-ranking prisoner’s neck halted.
Next, facing the imposing Emperor Dragon, the surviving prisoners chose to submit and were taken under Saga’s command.
“What do you plan to do next?”
After venting through the slaughter, the Elf King asked.
The other subdued abyssal prisoners also looked at Saga, listening intently.
“The followers of the Titan God of Wrath have been searching for me, seeking revenge for their god.”
The golden dragon’s eyes were sharp, and his voice cold, “They don’t need to keep looking. I will grant their wish, enter the Sooty Mountains, appear before them, and then kill them all.”
There were currently two demigod titans and many legendary beings among the Furious Titans.
Saga didn’t fear their numerical advantage.
With the power of the dragon soul temporarily entering the high-ranking legendary realm, a neutron annihilation would wipe out all Furious Titans below high rank, and the remaining high-ranking titans would struggle to pose a threat.
Only the two demigod titans were worth noting.
The demigod realm was unique, unlike legendary creatures with nine tiers. Demigod beings had the same life level, a special level between legends and true deities, and the limit of what the material plane could contain.
According to the hierarchy of true deities.
A true deity with a divine core would be a demigod if the divine core wasn’t fully formed, with a divine core level of zero.
Divine core levels range from zero to twenty.
Zero is a demigod.
After that, divine core levels one to five are minor deities.
Six to ten are weak deities. The Titan God of Wrath is a top-level weak deity with a divine core level of ten, not considered low in the divine hierarchy.
Higher deities like the Goddess of Beauty have divine core levels above sixteen.
There are only a few top-level higher deities with divine core levels of twenty in the entire Great Ring Multiverse, the true supreme beings whose thoughts and ideas can shake the multiverse.
The only deity with a divine core level above twenty is the legendary Creator God, Ao.
Back to the point.
At the demigod level, strength becomes difficult to judge, depending on how much power can be wielded. In the outer planes, demigods are even stronger than in the material plane.
Facing two demigod titans alone, even with the dragon soul’s power, wasn’t entirely safe.
After all, Saga was still a major level below a demigod.
But now, with the Elf King as a great general, able to hold off one demigod, Saga had enough confidence to eliminate them.
Rather than waiting for the Furious Titans to besiege him.
Saga preferred to take the initiative and eliminate the threat.
Once the threat from the Furious Titans was removed.
Saga could focus on ruling this sphere, recruiting more abyssal prisoners to serve him, and collecting sand essence stones and black swamp stones, aiming to enter the demigod realm and even higher levels.
These two minerals originated from two primordial gods of intermediate divine power, along with the Casserly Abyss’s extraction of prisoners’ life energy.
Theoretically, with enough quantity, it was possible to use them to become an intermediate deity.
Since realizing the minerals’ importance, Saga had this plan in mind.
Now it was time to implement it.
