“Follow me to the Crab Pool.”

“You don’t need to intervene, just witness for me.”

Saga spoke calmly to the Elf King and the demigods.

He had already decided to first subdue the Mud Crab Queen.

To gain the recognition of this abyssal creature that revered honorable duels, he needed to go to the Crab Pool alone and defeat the Mud Crab Queen in the swamp, witnessed by all the mud crabs. He couldn’t rely on his demigod subordinates, nor use Dragon Soul Energy.

However, with Saga’s current strength, capable of defeating four demigods at once, even without Dragon Soul Energy, he had the confidence to suppress the most powerful demigod creature in this sphere.

“Your Majesty, the Mud Crab Queen will surely be unable to resist your grandeur.”

“She will bow to the mightiest ruler in this sphere.”

Succubus Melishia blinked her eyes and spoke softly.

The Golden Dragon nodded slightly, then spread its massive dragon wings, blocking out the sky. With a gentle flap, it ascended into the air amidst a whirlwind, flying towards the Crab Pool, the habitat of the Mud Crab Queen in the swamp.

The Elf King and the demigods followed closely behind.

A group of powerful beings, who could dominate this sphere, left the Sooty Mountains, gradually entering an endless swamp under the watchful eyes of numerous abyssal prisoners.

Dry land and mountains were extremely scarce territories.

In this sphere, ninety-nine percent of the surface was covered by quicksand and swamps. The Mire Prison layer was named so because the swamp areas were much more extensive than the quicksand areas.

Bathed in a faint red glow, the Golden Dragon soared through the sky, looking down.

Below, all that could be seen was a deep, dark swamp, with many bubbles gurgling on the surface, emitting a foul stench. Occasionally, some abyssal prisoners, clad in crab shells, could be seen delving into the swamp to mine black swamp stones for Saga.

Mud crocodiles, mud pythons, mud sharks, and other creatures from different planes.

Especially the numerous and troublesome mud crabs, which were everywhere in the swamp.

The swamp was as vast as an ocean.

The Mud Crab Queen resided in the deepest part of the swamp, a place teeming with mud crabs and fraught with danger, where no abyssal prisoners or other plane creatures dared to tread.

The presence of Saga and the demigods in the sky drew the attention of many swamp creatures.

As time passed, the number of abyssal prisoners below dwindled, and the number of other swamp creatures also decreased significantly, replaced by mud crabs with large pincers, roaming the swamp surface or beneath it.

Mud fire crabs, with fiery red shells and high temperatures; mud iron crabs, with black, metallic shells; and mud giant pincer crabs, with oversized pincers capable of crushing the hardest materials, all came into Saga’s view.

The mud crab species could dominate the dangerous Casserly Abyss due to their numerous sub-branches and some exceptional mutated individuals. Similar to the Dragon Kind, there was a saying among abyssal prisoners: Dragons are the ‘mud crabs’ of the multiverse, and mud crabs are the ‘dragons’ confined to the Casserly Abyss.

Before long, when all other sounds had faded, leaving only the rustling of mud crab limbs moving through the swamp, Saga’s eyes narrowed.

He halted in mid-air, the Golden Dragon gazing down at the swamp.

Three powerful demigod auras were moving in the depths of the swamp, rapidly approaching Saga and the intruders.

The Mud Crab Queen’s territory was vast, and the swamp had a certain shielding effect on perception.

Searching for the Mud Crab Queen here was troublesome. Instead of looking for her, it was better to let her come to them. Therefore, Saga and his demigod subordinates did not conceal their auras, flying openly in the Mud Crab Queen’s territory.

As expected, the Mud Crab Queen sensed the intruders and came.

Boom!

Waves surged in the swamp, and amidst the deafening noise, a colossal figure, hundreds of meters tall, slowly rose from the swamp, shedding mud and swamp water.

“Mud Crab Queen.”

Feeling the overwhelming presence, Saga’s expression remained calm as he gazed at her.

The Mud Crab Queen, the ruler of the swamp, had an enormous body but looked quite ordinary in appearance.

Her smooth green shell covered her entire body, with no bristles or spines, and a pair of antennae extended backward from above her eyes, constantly waving.

She had a pair of small pincers without teeth, and behind them, five pairs of short limbs, decreasing in size from front to back.

Despite her enormous size, from a distance, the Mud Crab Queen looked rather cute, like a little crab rather than a fierce swamp ruler.

But appearances were deceiving.

Underestimating the Mud Crab Queen’s strength based on her appearance would be a grave mistake.

The Elf King’s face immediately turned serious and cold, as if facing a formidable enemy.

In a previous encounter with the Mud Crab Queen, she had left a deep impression on the Elf King. If he hadn’t escaped quickly and recently developed some good defensive sword techniques, he might have perished in the depths of the swamp.

Boom! Boom!

On either side of the Mud Crab Queen, the swamp continued to churn, revealing two slightly smaller but still enormous figures.

A mud giant pincer crab.

A mud berserk crab.

These two demigod mud crabs, acting like guards, stood beside the Mud Crab Queen, waving their massive pincers at Saga and the demigods, full of warning and threat.

“This queen is quite cute.”

Saga thought silently as he looked at the Mud Crab Queen.

With a universal sense of aesthetics, Saga found the Mud Crab Queen’s watery eyes, rounded shell, and cute antennae quite endearing, and her small pincers seemed non-threatening, making her a cute female creature.

Meanwhile, the Mud Crab Queen, observing the intruders in her territory, waved her two pairs of antennae and let out a few low growls, her body beginning to change.

Crack, crack, crack.

Her green shell gradually turned black, becoming rough and hard, with a metallic texture.

Her body swelled, her shell bulged, and menacing spines grew on its surface. Her pincers turned black and hard, with sharp teeth appearing between them, and her short limbs grew longer, larger, and sharper.

In an instant, a pitch-black, thousand-meter-tall, menacing mud crab appeared before Saga.

The Mud Crab Queen now looked like a gigantic mud iron crab, a close-combat king among mud crabs, with an indestructible shell and immense strength.

Roar!

A tangible sound wave swept across the sky.

In her menacing iron crab form, the Mud Crab Queen roared at the intruders, full of aggression.

The two demigod giant crabs beside her waved their pincers, assuming combat stances.

A battle was imminent.

At this moment, the Golden Dragon flapped its wings and moved forward, separating from the demigods.

Facing the Mud Crab Queen, the Golden Dragon unleashed a mighty Dragon Might, its claws forming fists and clashing together fiercely.

This was a gesture of an honorable challenge among the mud crabs.

Seeing Saga’s challenge gesture, the Mud Crab Queen’s expression changed.

She scrutinized Saga, feeling the immense power emanating from him.

After a few seconds of silence, the Mud Crab Queen raised her black pincers and clashed them together, sparks flying.

She accepted Saga’s honorable challenge.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two demigod giant crabs clashed their pincers rhythmically, creating a metallic clanging sound.

More mud crabs emerged from the swamp, from low-ranking young crabs to high-ranking legendary giant crabs, all excitedly clashing their pincers. Those with only one pincer used it to strike their companions’ shells, all watching the Mud Crab Queen and the Golden Dragon.

It had been many years since the mud crabs had seen an honorable challenge to their queen.

In the past, all challengers, whether of the same species or others, had been ruthlessly torn apart by the powerful queen.

As before, the mud crabs eagerly awaited their queen’s display of might.

Meanwhile, the two demigod giant crabs retreated, and at Saga’s signal, the Elf King and the demigod commanders also moved away.

The clashing of pincers continued, like a battle anthem, growing louder and more intense.

Bang!

With a resounding clash, the Mud Crab Queen, eyes full of battle intent, launched the first attack on Saga.

Her body lowered, turning her back to the Golden Dragon.

Spines rapidly grew on the Mud Crab Queen’s shell, detaching and forming a rain of iron spikes, shooting towards Saga.

Iron Spine Rain!

Due to her enormous size, each iron spike was tens or even hundreds of meters long, densely packed and formidable.

Gravity and electromagnetic force shone brightly.

Saga activated his super-heavy electromagnetic battle form, transforming into a massive black-and-white dragon, not inferior in size to the Mud Crab Queen.

With dazzling white electromagnetic light, Saga’s wings enveloped the incoming iron spikes.

Electromagnetic force restrained the spikes.

With a flick of his wings, the spikes, accelerated by electromagnetic force, shot back at the Mud Crab Queen.

The Mud Crab Queen raised her black pincers, her seemingly heavy and clumsy body skillfully blocking the spikes, creating afterimages.

With a series of crisp clinks, the accelerated iron spike rain was entirely intercepted by the Mud Crab Queen, not a single spike breaking through her defense.

Meanwhile, the black-and-white dragon, with wings spread wide and covered in white lightning-like patterns, charged forward.

End Domain!

Saga’s eyes gleamed as he activated his power.

Electromagnetic restraint and gravitational pressure. In the End Domain, the Mud Crab Queen’s movements slowed.

Saga approached, his massive claws descending on the Mud Crab Queen.

Affected by the End Domain, the Mud Crab Queen’s movements were sluggish, her pincers unable to block Saga’s attack. However, she reacted quickly, lowering her body and using her shell to withstand the attack.

Sizzle!

Before the dragon claws could reach her, blinding white electromagnetic light flashed, forming web-like patterns on her shell.

At the same time, Saga’s super-heavy dragon claws struck the Mud Crab Queen’s shell.

Boom! A massive splash of dirty water erupted as the Mud Crab Queen was slammed into the swamp.

Her supposedly indestructible shell cracked and caved in under Saga’s claws.

The Mud Crab Queen’s defense, though not entirely useless, was significantly weakened against Saga.

“Your Majesty’s divine might!”

Seeing the Mud Crab Queen being driven into the swamp, the Abhorrent Serpent Monster hissed from afar, while the mud crabs’ rhythmic clashing faltered, worried for their queen.

Before Saga could dive into the swamp to pursue the Mud Crab Queen, the swamp below suddenly boiled, bubbling furiously, and the temperature soared.

Boom!

A massive pillar of lava shot skyward, engulfing Saga.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The mud crabs, invigorated, continued their rhythmic clashing to support their queen.

A tiny Mud Crab Queen, less than a meter long, fiery red with lava-like deep red patterns on her shell, emerged from the swamp.

Meanwhile, the dragon figure in the lava pillar flapped its wings and burst out.

Still radiant, without a hint of dimming.

Saga turned to the small Mud Crab Queen, wings flapping as he charged.

The small Mud Crab Queen scuttled quickly, creating a fiery path beneath her, avoiding close combat and changing tactics to engage Saga at a distance.

Due to gravitational pull, the small Mud Crab Queen’s speed was slower than Saga’s, and she was gradually being cornered.

Turning around, she created a fiery path beneath her, moving rapidly backward.

At the same time, the small Mud Crab Queen raised her body and spewed a terrifying firestorm from her tiny mouth.

Saga pressed forward, passing through the firestorm.

However, as the flames cleared, an icy wind blew in.

The air froze instantly, and in the blink of an eye, a massive ice sphere formed around Saga, freezing the dragon in place.

On the other side, the small Mud Crab Queen, now icy blue and exuding extreme cold, raised a pincer in a victorious pose.

The mud crabs cheered for their queen, clashing their pincers in a faster rhythm.

However, the ‘cheering’ lasted only a second before stopping abruptly.

Crack, crack, cracks spread, and the ice sphere shook violently.

The Mud Crab Queen hurriedly spewed more icy wind, trying to reinforce the ice, but the shaking grew more intense, beyond her control.

Boom!

Saga spread his wings, standing tall as ice shards rained down.

“Show me how many forms you have.”

Still radiant, the dragon charged at the Mud Crab Queen again.

Since her previous tactics were somewhat effective, the Mud Crab Queen maintained her ice form, using ice skills to freeze Saga.

Saga had force field defenses, but the widespread freezing created obstacles.

“Let’s try this move, though I’m not very skilled with it yet.”

After a moment’s thought, Saga deactivated his super-heavy electromagnetic form.

At the same time, bright golden threads appeared on the Golden Dragon’s body, crisscrossing and radiating outward.

Saga focused his mind, using weak nuclear force to decay neutrons and bombard the heavy elements in his scales.

Weak Nuclear Fission!

Boom!

Blinding light erupted, and nuclear fission flames roared, forming a super-giant nuclear fission fire dragon, its body continuously exploding, embodying destruction.

This form resembled Yekaterina’s super-giant form.

The most efficient nuclear fission directly uses strong nuclear force to induce fission in heavy elements.

Saga’s current mastery of strong nuclear force was insufficient for this.

However, wanting to master nuclear fission first to open the door to strong nuclear force, after multiple explorations and attempts, Saga could now use weak nuclear force to decay neutrons and induce fission in heavy elements.

Weak nuclear fission was less efficient than strong nuclear fission but could achieve similar results indirectly.

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions echoed across the sky.

Under the panicked gaze of countless mud crabs, the ice domain shattered and melted in an instant.

The oppressive hues of the Casserly Abyss brightened under the glow of nuclear fission.
