A pair of dragon wings soared and flapped.
Transformed into a fission fire dragon, Saga charged forward with unstoppable momentum, burning through endless ice and heading straight for the Mud Crab Queen in her small ice crab form.
Facing the overwhelming fission fire dragon, the ice crab form was powerless to resist.
In an instant, the ice-blue color on the Mud Crab Queen’s body faded, replaced by silver-white lightning patterns. She transformed into a swift lightning crab.
Zzzap! A flash of lightning.
The Mud Crab Queen vanished from her original spot, turning into a streak of lightning that darted around, creating bursts of thunder to strike at Saga.
This was the first time using weak nuclear fission in battle, and Saga was still not proficient. To maintain his form, his control over gravity and electromagnetic force weakened.
Though the fission form had immense destructive power, it couldn’t catch the now lightning-fast Mud Crab Queen.
He made a quick decision and stopped the weak nuclear force.
In an instant, the fission flames vanished.
Thunder and lightning flashed brilliantly as electromagnetic force activated, forming a blazing white electromagnetic dragon centered on Saga.
At the same time.
Thick clouds summoned by the Mud Crab Queen gathered above Saga’s head, filled with countless flashes of lightning, gradually forming a massive thunder crab under her control.
Accompanied by rolling thunder.
The thunder crab raised its massive pincers made of countless bolts of lightning, fiercely attacking the electromagnetic dragon below.
Facing this seemingly world-destroying attack, the electromagnetic dragon raised its head and met the blow head-on.
Under the slightly tense gaze of the demigods and the expectant eyes of countless mud crabs.
The thunder crab’s pincers, with unstoppable momentum, crashed down, striking the electromagnetic dragon’s head.
However.
There was no expected earth-shattering collision.
The electromagnetic dragon’s horn easily pierced the thunder crab’s pincers, and the entire massive thunder crab froze, like a statue, suspended in mid-air, motionless.
Zzzap.
Countless arcs of light flashed and flowed from the thunder crab’s body into the electromagnetic dragon.
In just a breath’s time, the thunder crab, once as large as a mountain, vanished without a trace, replaced by an electromagnetic dragon whose aura had grown stronger, its blazing white lightning illuminating all around.
“My turn.”
Suddenly turning his head, Saga looked at the small Mud Crab Queen, who had turned into a streak of lightning and was moving rapidly around him. His massive body also transformed into lightning, vanishing from his spot to chase after her.
In a chase between two streaks of lightning, one large and one small, it only lasted a few seconds.
Due to the gravitational pull from Saga, the speed of the small Mud Crab Queen was hindered, unable to shake off Saga’s pursuit.
With a swell, the electromagnetic dragon reappeared, grasping at the Mud Crab Queen.
The enormous dragon claw covered a vast area, leaving the Mud Crab Queen with no escape.
Zzzap! At that moment, the Mud Crab Queen made a sharp turn and descended, her small figure flickering with lightning as she plunged into the swamp, followed closely by the electromagnetic dragon’s claw.
Suddenly.
Boom, boom, boom!
In just an instant, without any warning, the already turbulent swamp due to their battle erupted, as if endless mud and swamp water shot skyward, transforming into hundreds of mud crab pincers, rising up and clamping onto the electromagnetic dragon.
At the same time.
The Mud Crab Queen, in her dirty, mud-covered swamp crab form, revealed half of her small head above the swamp’s surface.
Under the Mud Crab Queen’s will.
More filthy swamp mud surged up, forming countless chains that wrapped around the dragon, quickly covering the blazing white electromagnetic light and turning it into a mud sculpture.
Given past experiences.
The Mud Crab Queen did not show a triumphant expression but cautiously looked up at the dragon sculpture, remaining vigilant.
Crack!
In an instant, a black and gold dragon shadow shot out from the chest of the mud sculpture, like an arrow from a bow, aiming at the Mud Crab Queen.
The Mud Crab Queen reacted swiftly, sinking down the moment she sensed something was wrong, her small body diving deeper into the swamp.
This swamp had the magic to absorb various powers; the larger the area of contact for other super-giant forms, the greater the impact.
With a force field covering his body and without changing forms, the black and gold dragon plunged into the swamp.
The thick, heavy mud couldn’t stop the black and gold dragon’s advance.
Saga’s body tore through the deep swamp, quickly closing in on the Mud Crab Queen.
Universal Attraction!
Dragon claws extended, power essence burst forth, grasping at the Mud Crab Queen from a distance.
In an instant, tons of mud began to spin rapidly around the Mud Crab Queen, condensing and pulling her into it.
The swamp crab form of the Mud Crab Queen could move through the swamp.
But in this high-pressure, rapidly spinning, and condensed swamp area affected by gravity, it was extremely dangerous. Continuing to merge into the swamp could crush her, forcing the Mud Crab Queen to change forms again, battling Saga in the depths of the swamp.
Time flowed steadily in the boiling, turbulent swamp.
Gradually, a long time passed.
And this battle, witnessed by many demigods and countless mud crabs, had not yet ended.
The Mud Crab Queen, truly the most powerful demigod creature here, with her versatile forms and numerous abilities, could still contend and fight back against the overwhelmingly oppressive Emperor Dragon, unlike other demigod creatures who couldn’t face him head-on.
However, the Mud Crab Queen’s disadvantage remained unchanged.
The Mud Crab Queen had many forms, but no matter what form or skill she used, she couldn’t overcome Saga, who defeated her one by one.
As she used more forms and consumed more energy, the Mud Crab Queen gradually became exhausted.
Additionally, the feeling of being unable to change the situation despite her efforts weighed heavily on her mind.
Crack!
A pair of terrifying giant pincers, thousands of meters long, after multiple clashes with the black and white dragon, were penetrated by the disintegrating electromagnetic force.
Reaching their limit, they shattered and disintegrated.
Losing her most powerful pincers, the Mud Crab Queen in her mud giant pincer crab form transformed back into her initial small green crab form.
Seeing the Mud Crab Queen like this, Saga’s expression became even more serious.
A stronger aura was rising from the Mud Crab Queen.
Red, ice blue, pitch black, deep purple. Various lights appeared around the Mud Crab Queen, flashing continuously, and her body began to transform again.
Finally, the Mud Crab Queen’s new form settled into a dark color with a hint of red.
Her eyes turned blood-red, and the cute little antennae above her eyes disappeared, replaced by a pair of menacing black and red horns.
Her hard black and red crab shell was covered with numerous spikes, protrusions, and rough textures.
A pair of black and red pincers, filled with serrated teeth, exuded danger.
Most importantly, an unprecedentedly deep and heavy aura of the Casserly Abyss.
Red Casserly Abyss energy gathered madly, forming a near-black red storm centered on the Mud Crab Queen, bringing a mountain-crushing and sea-splitting pressure. The surrounding sky and swamp were also tainted with black and red.
Swamp Abyss Crab—this was the Mud Crab Queen’s ultimate battle form.
In this form, as a special creature of the Casserly plane, the Mud Crab Queen would be blessed by abyss energy, causing a short-term surge in all attributes.
The cost, however.
Bearing power beyond her limits, after the battle, the Mud Crab Queen would fall into a long period of weakness.
Unless absolutely necessary, the Mud Crab Queen would not use the abyss crab form.
Unwilling to be suppressed by Saga any longer and wanting to win this honor challenge, the Mud Crab Queen now transformed into the powerful Swamp Abyss Crab.
Whoosh!
The black and red Casserly Abyss energy storm surged, sweeping across the sky.
The current Mud Crab Queen reflected in Saga’s dragon eyes, for a moment, felt similar to the Titan God of Wrath in his weakened state before recovering when he first descended into the material world.
“The Casserly Abyss truly has many talents. The Mud Crab Queen indeed has some trump cards. Otherwise, with her previous performance, although strong, it would be an exaggeration to call her the most powerful demigod creature.”
The sense of danger from the Mud Crab Queen increased dramatically.
Saga showed no fear, his eyes brightening, filled with rising battle intent.
The stronger the Mud Crab Queen, the more interested he became.
Boom!
The Mud Crab Queen clashed her pincers together.
The surrounding black and red storm gathered around her, coating her crab shell with a thin black and red barrier, covering her entire body.
Another clash of pincers, the Mud Crab Queen stared intently at Saga, taking an attacking stance.
At the same time, the dragon’s wings flapped, and the massive body skimmed low over the swamp, creating a long trail in the mud below, with large amounts of mud churning to the sides.
Raising a dragon claw wrapped in blazing white light, Saga struck at the Mud Crab Queen at close range.
The Mud Crab Queen was not to be outdone, her black and red pincers filled with unfathomable power smashed down.
Boom!
Dragon claw met pincer, with the disintegrating electromagnetic force still sharp, breaking through the Mud Crab Queen’s abyss energy shield, but also weakened by the resistance, unable to shatter her pincers in one blow.
Electromagnetic force continued to burst and shine, countered by more abyss energy.
Bang, bang, bang!
Pincers swung, dragon claws flew.
A dragon and a crab, these two mountain-sized powerful beings, tangled in close combat, creating massive shockwaves that made the swamp below turbulent and countless mud churn.
“Pseudo-divine power.”
In the intense battle, Saga’s mind remained calm, silently thinking.
The current Mud Crab Queen was using the Casserly Abyss power, comparable to transcendent divine power, completely different from before, like night and day, allowing her to withstand Saga’s attacks in direct confrontation.
If Saga were also a demigod.
The Swamp Abyss Crab form of the Mud Crab Queen couldn’t face him head-on, as even the Titan God of Wrath couldn’t match Saga at the demigod level.
However, Saga was now relying solely on his legendary level power without using dragon soul energy.
He was still a significant life level below the Mud Crab Queen, and normally, the gap between a legend and a demigod was an insurmountable chasm.
The Mud Crab Queen, with her abundant energy and powerful life level, resisted Saga’s attacks with dozens or hundreds of times the energy, achieving a temporary stalemate.
“No wonder she’s the most formidable demigod creature, this Mud Crab Queen can actually hold her own against His Majesty.”
“Elf King, you’re lucky to be alive.”
The Sol Stone Monster rumbled.
“The problem is, His Majesty hasn’t reached demigod status yet. The Mud Crab Queen is using all her strength to barely contend with His Majesty at the legendary level, and it seems she’s using some overloading power that won’t last long.”
The Mantis Man said slowly.
“This battle is already decided. The Mud Crab Queen will surely submit to His Majesty’s will and, along with her mud crab swarm, become His Majesty’s followers.”
The Abhorrent Serpent Monster hissed.
“My prince, my majesty…”
Succubus Melishia whispered, her eyes filled with infatuation.
Meanwhile, as the demigod leaders watched the battle.
Seeing the queen finally standing her ground and no longer just evading in this fight.
The mud crabs cheered excitedly for her.
However, they didn’t realize that matching a legend as a demigod was not something to be proud of.
The battle continued, growing more intense.
Due to the limited duration, the Mud Crab Queen fought fiercely, trying to defeat Saga within the limited time.
But even though she could now face Saga head-on, she was still at a disadvantage and couldn’t change the situation.
Bang, bang, bang!
With each fierce clash.
The Mud Crab Queen’s black and red pincers were covered with cracks, and the crab shell hit multiple times by dragon claws bore deep claw marks.
The abyss energy shield formed by Casserly Abyss energy prevented the Mud Crab Queen’s defense from collapsing instantly.
But even using dozens or hundreds of times the energy to resist, she couldn’t completely neutralize Saga’s disintegrating force. In multiple clashes, the remaining force eroded her defenses, gradually weakening them to a critical point.
Bang!
The black and red pincers struck the dragon, creating intense ripples in the invisible force field.
Saga’s clenched uppercut dragon fist hit the Mud Crab Queen’s abdominal shell, breaking the shell and causing her to gasp in pain, the hard shell at the impact point almost completely shattered.
At the same time, the Mud Crab Queen’s pincers moved, using the force of Saga’s blow to leap away.
Her crab shell covered in cracks, the heavily injured Mud Crab Queen supported herself with her pincers, trembling slightly, while opposite her stood the dragon, its scales shining brightly, its aura still at its peak, an invincible presence.
Suddenly.
The Mud Crab Queen raised her pincers, lifting her upper body.
Whoosh.
More abyss energy gathered, continuously converging on the Mud Crab Queen.
At the same time, her chest and abdominal shell began to glow, with more cracks spreading like a spider web, revealing black and red light.
Countless condensed abyss energies were undergoing a qualitative change, highly compressed together.
The Mud Crab Queen locked onto Saga, letting out a low growl.
Abyss Annihilation Cannon!
Crack!
The Mud Crab Queen’s chest and abdominal shell shattered.
A highly dangerous black and red energy stream surged out, rushing towards Saga.
At the same time, from Saga’s open dragon mouth, an invisible and intangible Annihilation Dragon Breath was released, meeting the Mud Crab Queen’s strongest attack.
Silently, the black and red light was annihilated.
In this clash, Saga’s Annihilation Dragon Breath gradually erased the Mud Crab Queen’s attack, the resulting void and emptiness filling her entire vision, coming straight at her.
Still lost…
The blood color in the Mud Crab Queen’s eyes faded. Exhausted, she had no strength left to dodge.
At this moment, the Annihilation Dragon Breath veered to the side, almost grazing the weakened Mud Crab Queen and sweeping across a large area of the swamp beside her.
Countless mud was annihilated instantly, forming a shocking rift.
On the other side.
Sensing the Mud Crab Queen’s weakness, Saga released his battle form.
Then, under the watchful eyes of countless mud crabs, the golden dragon raised his claw, striking a victorious pose.
Countless mud crabs stopped clashing their pincers, falling silent, unwilling to believe this outcome.
This silence was the best celebration shout for Saga.
After a few seconds of enjoyment, he lowered his claw, then looked at the Mud Crab Queen, flapping his wings and approaching.
At this moment, the Mud Crab Queen had reverted from the terrifying Swamp Abyss Crab to her cute green crab form, still large but no longer threatening or aggressive.
Approaching the Mud Crab Queen, Saga intended to use telepathy to demand her submission.
But the Mud Crab Queen suddenly extended her pincers towards Saga.
Feeling no malice and seeing her weakened state, Saga didn’t resist, curious about what the Mud Crab Queen wanted.
Unexpectedly, something surprising happened.
The Mud Crab Queen’s antennae bent into a heart shape, and her massive body hugged Saga closely, showing intimate affection.
Though he had won the honor challenge and expected recognition.
This level of enthusiasm seemed off.
Feeling something was wrong, Saga used telepathy.
“Mate, partner, so strong, really like.”
The intense emotions and some revealed intentions from the Mud Crab Queen left Saga silent.
“It seems there’s a misunderstanding here.”
Saga delved into the Mud Crab Queen’s unguarded mental will and realized a serious issue: the previous information had a major omission.
In the mud crab species, an honor challenge was a matter between the same sex.
But a challenge between opposite sexes was more accurately termed—courtship.
