Saga had died in a self-detonation.

After communicating with the Sol Stone Monster for a while, Saga found out that apart from the name and recent rise to power, he had no more information about this Abyssal Empress.

Saga speculated that she might be Yekaterina, but he wasn’t certain.

After all, there was too little information.

“Your Majesty, these vanguard scouts are dead. The other side will probably send new ones.”

“By then, we should be able to gather more information.”

“Or, we could take the initiative and strike.”

Compared to passively waiting, Saga had always preferred decisive action and taking the initiative. The Sol Stone Monster knew this well and thus suggested it.

The space vortex leading to the neighboring sphere cage was in the Sooty Mountains, high above the Emperor Dragon Palace.

Saga could have gone to another sphere cage much earlier if he wanted to.

“Inform the other demigod commanders to be ready for battle at any time.”

Saga said quietly.

Now, all threats within this sphere cage had been eliminated, and all the abyssal prisoners lived under Saga’s will. He had become the sole ruler here.

However, this brought about a sense of emptiness and monotony.

Since taming the Mother Worm, Saga had been staying in the Emperor Dragon Palace for quite some time.

At first, he could focus on strengthening himself with the two types of ores, but now he had reached a limit. The ores had temporarily lost their effect, and looking around, all the creatures in this sphere cage had bowed to him.

In this situation, Saga needed something else to do.

For instance, he could set his sights on another sphere cage and search for Yekaterina.

Moreover, unlike when he was first exiled to the Casserly Abyss, Saga now had many powerful creatures under his command and no longer needed to fight alone.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”

“We will be your sharpest blade, tearing apart all your enemies.”

After speaking, the Sol Stone Monster followed Saga’s orders and went to gather the other demigod commanders.

The Emperor Dragon Palace returned to its quiet state.

Saga pondered for a moment and then focused his attention on the spark within his heart.

Since his first attempt a long time ago, Saga hadn’t paid much attention to the spark. After all, the Great Ring Multiverse was vast enough for him to roam, and he didn’t need to risk going to other multiverses.

As for now.

Although Saga could stay in the Casserly Abyss, it didn’t mean he liked it here.

The unchanging sands, swamps, the air filled with a stench, the oppressive and dark red light, the cunning and evil prisoners. The other sphere cages were much the same.

Monotony was not to Saga’s liking.

He preferred the rich and diverse planar worlds, especially the material planes where various elements were balanced, and all factions coexisted.

Besides, there were some beings in the material world waiting for his return.

Tixil the Amethyst Dragon, Charlotte the Gemstone Dragon, the Golden Dragonfather, the Golden Dragon Grandfather, the Golden Dragon, and his followers.

Additionally, Saga was also very concerned and curious about the war with the Sea Empire and the escalating situation on Saiga Planet.

If he couldn’t leave the Casserly Abyss.

All these would drift away from Saga’s life.

And Saga’s future would be predictable at a glance. Even if he ruled here, it wasn’t what he truly desired.

Because he could still grow stronger in the Casserly Abyss.

Saga knew that this place couldn’t trap him. As long as he became powerful enough, reaching a god-like existence, or even a higher deity-like existence, breaking out of the Casserly Abyss wouldn’t be difficult.

But this would take a long time.

The further he progressed, the harder it would be to grow quickly.

Many demigods struggled for thousands or tens of thousands of years without making any progress.

Saga, at the young dragon stage of just over thirty years old, had almost become a demigod. This was a remarkable achievement, but he might not touch the threshold of god-like power before reaching adulthood.

The spark was his greatest hope of breaking out of this prison plane at this stage.

Taking a deep breath, Saga calmed his mind completely, his gaze becoming entirely calm and rational.

With a thought, a large amount of ore shattered, and the pure energy within was continuously absorbed into Saga’s body. At the same time, Saga closed his eyes slightly, focusing his mind on his heart.

Power Essence surged from his limbs and bones, rushing like a river towards his heart, converging with the spark almost entirely fused with his heart.

Once again, Saga tried to ignite the spark.

Buzz!

A point of light suddenly burst forth.

The long-dormant spark lit up.

At first, it was just a tiny spark, but as Saga infused it with Power Essence, and as time passed, the spark flickered, grew, and slowly turned into a small flame.

And during this process, with a constant supply of energy, Saga didn’t become weak like last time.

Soon, as the flame grew a bit more, the space around Saga became somewhat unstable.

Visible ripples, folds, and waves appeared one after another.

Vortices emerged visibly.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the surface space.

Beneath the surface layer of space, like a curtain, the plane’s crystal wall, which had special rules that only allowed entry but no exit from the Casserly Abyss, also began to shake.

This meant.

The spark could indeed take Saga out of the Casserly Abyss!

As expected, an artifact capable of traversing limited multiverses had no reason to be unable to break through the seal of the Casserly Abyss.

Stop!

With a thought, Saga opened his eyes. At the same time, the spark stopped absorbing Power Essence and quickly dimmed, returning to its extinguished state.

“At my current level, I can fully ignite the spark.”

“And with the presence of sand essence stones and black swamp stones, I can remain in peak perfect condition even after igniting the spark.”

This was just a test; Saga didn’t intend to ignite the spark directly.

He had only been here for a few years and hadn’t yet reached the point where he couldn’t stand it in the Casserly Abyss. He hadn’t become a demigod, nor had he found Yekaterina.

This test was mainly to confirm whether the spark could still work here.

Once the spark was officially ignited.

After the spark extinguished and reignited, it would randomly take the igniter to an unknown realm. Of course, this would only happen the first time. After that, the spark’s owner could use their memory, left items, and everything related to them as anchor points to pinpoint coordinates and go wherever they wanted.

Under normal circumstances, Traveling Mages wouldn’t travel randomly.

The previous owner of this spark had been forced to self-detonate the spark during a fierce battle with sealed space, randomly traversing and unintentionally arriving in the Great Ring Multiverse. The spark had extinguished, and in their severely injured state, they had been hunted by the deities of the Great Ring, eventually falling in despair.

“I wonder what the other limited multiverses will be like.”

Saga mused silently.

With a certain adventurous spirit, Saga was quite eager to use the spark to see other limited multiverses.

The most crucial point was.

The deceased Traveling Mage was very certain that the Great Ring Multiverse was an exceptionally powerful limited multiverse. This meant that Saga, who was a strong figure here, wouldn’t be at the bottom in other limited multiverses and would have at least the basic ability to protect himself.

“Additionally, I noticed that when the spark operates and causes spatial fluctuations.”

“Gravity also changes accordingly, twisting and fluctuating violently.”

Saga pondered.

In his original world, some wise individuals believed that gravity was essentially the curvature of space-time. It could even be said that gravity was a kind of curvature produced by the bending of time and space.

As Saga grew stronger and deepened his understanding of gravity, he gradually accepted this theory.

The Gravity Dimensional Anchor, which could suppress space and block teleportation, was also conceived based on this idea.

In any case, gravity and the curvature of space-time were undoubtedly closely related.

“Perhaps, when I become powerful enough, I won’t need the spark at all. Just relying on my own strength, I could traverse multiverses and even cross the constraints of time to reach other times and spaces.”

“The Dragon of Eternity and Time? I could bear that title in the future.”

The Red Dragoness, who left the spark for Saga, had been summoned to other times and spaces.

If one only searched in the spatial dimension, no matter how many multiverses they scoured, they wouldn’t find the Red Dragoness.

She was still in the Great Ring Multiverse, but she had gone to another time’s Great Ring.

“Before that, the spark can help me accumulate more experience.”

Saga calmed his mind, ignited the spark again, and then stopped at a certain point, observing the reactions of space and gravity.

Due to the subtle and complex nature of these changes, Saga had to invest a lot of mental energy to vaguely sense them.

After a while, he frowned slightly and paused his exploration due to mental fatigue.

Balancing work and rest, avoiding excess.

Saga understood this principle.

Next, under the gentle comfort of Succubus Melishia, Saga’s mental energy quickly recovered.

Once his mental state was restored, Saga prepared to go through the space vortex above the Sooty Mountains to another sphere cage and meet the Abyssal Empress.

Time quietly passed.

As Saga’s spirit became full again but before he could take action.

The space vortex above the Sooty Mountains began to fluctuate.

Sensing the anomaly, Saga immediately flew up, leaving the palace and arriving near the space vortex.

The space vortex was located above the Emperor Dragon Palace, where the Titan Palace used to be. It appeared as a faintly visible, constantly changing spatial fold.

At this moment, a prisoner team of five high-ranking legendary creatures had just been teleported here and was already subdued by the demigod commanders guarding the area.

“Lowly prisoners, come to pay homage to the great Emperor Dragon!”

The Abhorrent Serpent Monster brought the prisoners before Saga and said.

Saga looked down at the prisoners before him.

In line with the mixed nature of the Casserly Abyss, they were all different creatures. However, they all had one thing in common: golden threads radiating across their skin.

At this moment, a humanoid prisoner, showing a pained expression under the pressure of the demigods, suddenly looked up.

Gazing at the golden dragon before him, he shouted:

“The Abyssal Empress will soon descend here.”

“You’d better surrender and not anger the Empress.”

“Otherwise, the Abyssal Empress will turn everything to dust and ashes.”

Hearing the prisoner’s threat, the Abhorrent Serpent Monster flicked its long, scarlet tongue, its eyes venomous, hissing softly:

“Facing death, you still dare to provoke my master’s Dragon Might.”

“Hiss… It seems you aren’t afraid of torture or pain, but believe me, you’ll soon find that what you think is pain will be as sweet as nectar.”

Waving a claw to signal the Abhorrent Serpent Monster to remain silent.

The golden dragon suddenly smiled, not angered by the provocation, a smile on his dragon face, and said:

“I look forward to meeting your Abyssal Empress. I think she won’t be so irritable in my presence.”

Crack, crack, crack.

As if to respond to Saga’s words.

Suddenly, the space vortex fluctuated more violently, and a powerful, destructive aura emanated from it. At the same time, a dragon shadow, red with gold, gradually became clear.

“You’re finished, the great Abyssal Empress is here!”

The prisoners became excited.

Saga ignored them, staring at the space vortex.

In an instant, a powerful beast with a wingspan of over a hundred meters emerged from it.

Each scale was like a ruby, with golden threads embedded in them, a strong and agile body, and a cold, dangerous aura. Although it was only a high-ranking legendary creature, not yet at the demigod level, the destructive and chaotic power it exuded made several demigod commanders’ faces change.

“What’s going on? Are the legendary creatures being exiled here now so monstrous?”

“Is it because we’ve been sealed in the Casserly Abyss for too long, and the outside world has changed beyond our knowledge?”

The demigod commanders fell into self-doubt.

Meanwhile, gazing at the golden dragon before her, the Abyssal Empress spread her wings, the solid desire for destruction and chaos in her eyes gradually fading.

“Empress, show your power and let these rabble know your might!”

A prisoner shouted.

The Abyssal Empress’s gaze turned icy, glaring violently at her subordinate.

Boom, boom, boom. Without warning, the speaking abyssal prisoner suddenly exploded, perishing in the flames erupting from within.

The other prisoners fell silent, not daring to speak again.

This Abyssal Empress had a heavy aura of violence, indicating a fierce battle ahead. The demigod commanders, wary of this powerful legendary dragon, prepared for combat, taking her more seriously than even demigods.

At the same time.

Under numerous vigilant gazes, the Abyssal Empress turned her head, looking at the golden dragon.

Her gaze softened, and to the disbelief of the prisoners, she flapped her wings and slowly approached.

To the astonishment of the demigods, their king also moved closer.

They didn’t look like they were about to fight at all.

At an almost touching distance, the two powerful legendary dragons lowered their heads, touching foreheads, their face plates pressed together.

In dragon culture, such an action often signified a very close relationship between the two dragons.
