The two giant dragons’ time of pleasure lasted for quite a while.

After being utterly exhausted and resting close together in dragon slumber for some time, Saga slowly woke up and opened his eyes.

Yekaterina was coiled beside him, her scorching red scales pressed against Saga. Her head rested on Saga’s tail like a pillow, and she was sleeping sweetly, with a gentle and serene smile on her dragon face that was rarely seen.

Saga gently got up, moving his tail to slowly extricate it from Yekaterina’s grip.

Even though his movements were minimal, just a slight shift made Yekaterina’s eyelids twitch, and she immediately opened her eyes.

In her ruby-like eyes, the reflection of a golden dragon gazing intently down at her could be seen.

Yekaterina, who was usually proud and competitive, unwilling to show weakness in anything, instinctively turned her head to avoid Saga’s gaze.

But it was only for a moment.

Realizing her act of submission, Yekaterina’s expression tightened, and she immediately turned her head back, meeting Saga’s gaze with a firm look.

“What are you looking at?”

Yekaterina tried to make her voice sound calm as she spoke.

“Looking at my beautiful, charming dragon sister.”

The golden dragon said with a smile.

The gentle tone, the words of praise, especially coming from Saga, the Flower of the World, instantly shattered Yekaterina’s cold facade. Her mouth involuntarily curved into a smile, and her tail began to sway left and right.

“Hmph, don’t think that just a few compliments will make me dizzy with infatuation.”

Already somewhat dizzy with infatuation, Yekaterina said.

“Yekaterina, your scales are more dazzling than the brightest gems in the universe.”

“Praise? I’m just stating the truth.”

Saga said earnestly.

No dragon would resist praise, and Saga knew this well. A barrage of compliments made Yekaterina feel a bit light-headed.

The golden dragon in front of her looked more and more pleasing to the eye, as if glowing all over.

The recent frenzy flooded her mind, making Yekaterina’s gaze slightly dazed.

Shaking her head vigorously, Yekaterina cooled her heated thoughts and then said with a light hum to Saga:

“Hmph, my sweet-talking brother, don’t think I’ve fallen for you.”

“You may be the dragon I find most pleasing to the eye, but I have grand ambitions and a vast blueprint in my heart. I aim to become a powerful Evil Dragon Empress whose name echoes throughout the multiverse. I won’t fall for any dragon.”

Her tail wrapped around.

Skillfully entwining Yekaterina’s dragon tail.

As she finished her serious and solemn words, Saga leaned close to Yekaterina’s ear and whispered:

“So, do you want to pretend that our previous intimacy never happened and completely stop it?”

A hesitant look appeared in her ruby-like eyes.

“Huff, that doesn’t affect…”

A shiver of indescribable pleasure coursed through her body and mind, and Yekaterina’s voice lowered.

Seeing Yekaterina in such a soft state, Saga felt a surge of heat within him. Then, like lightning igniting a wildfire, he engaged in deep communication with Yekaterina once again, completely tireless.

The Emperor Dragon Palace continued to shake incessantly.

Time flowed quietly like water.

During this period, Saga and Yekaterina established their mode of interaction.

Overall, nothing much changed.

Compared to before, there was just more physical interaction between their dragon bodies, allowing them to relax and enjoy.

After all, their relationship had been very close for a long time. Although they appeared to be at odds on the surface, always provoking and fighting each other when they met, their bond was actually very deep, far surpassing that of ordinary mates.

And so.

From their reunion, four years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these four years, besides the two spheres they interacted with, Yekaterina took the initiative and conquered another sphere.

Since Saga had no interest in dominating the Casserly Abyss and no intention of developing there, he handed over the leadership of his sphere to Yekaterina.

From the beginning, Saga’s main goal was sand essence stones and black swamp stones. Now, the collected minerals had piled up like mountains, and being the ruler there was not important to Saga.

Moreover, even though he relinquished leadership, Saga’s status remained transcendent.

The Elf King, mud crabs, succubi, and Mother Worms still directly obeyed Saga.

As for the other three demigod commanders, although Saga gave them to Yekaterina as subordinates, they still followed Saga’s orders without hesitation.

Meanwhile.

In the Sooty Mountains.

Numerous legendary and demigod powerhouses stood on various peaks, looking up at the sky with awe in their eyes.

In the red-stained sky above, a red and a gold, two colossal dragons stood facing each other.

“Saga, my dear brother, it’s been a long time since we had a real match.”

“Before you leave, I want to duel with you again and determine a winner.”

“Although I’ve lost more than I’ve won, I always believe that I will surpass you one day.”

“For example, this time, I’ve recently gained new insights into fission power, and I’m sure I can defeat you.”

Losing more than winning, really giving herself credit.

She had never won once.

Saga was already used to Yekaterina’s thick-skinned words.

Moreover, over these four years, by absorbing the energy of the two minerals and finding heavy nuclear metal veins in the mountains, Yekaterina had also reached the ninth tier of legend.

Meanwhile, Saga had not broken through to demigod in these four years and had been caught up.

Breaking through from legend to demigod wasn’t easy.

Relying on normal accumulation, becoming a demigod naturally was possible for a dragon like Saga with no limits, but it would take a considerable amount of time.

In his ninth-tier extreme state, he was already half a step into the demigod threshold.

However, for ordinary legendary creatures, even reaching this state might mean they could never advance further, even after thousands of years, to become a true demigod.

To advance further.

Under normal accumulation, a more critical opportunity was needed.

Saga consulted many demigod creatures.

After summarizing, Saga found that the opportunities to advance from legend to demigod varied, but the most common was experiencing a life-and-death battle, surviving a desperate situation.

This was quite difficult for Saga.

Although he was only at the ninth tier of legend, he had the power to make demigods tremble. Finding a life-threatening challenge for Saga was hard.

Unless it was an exceptionally powerful demigod.

Or, like in the Deep Sea Dragon City, a presence stronger than a demigod descended.

In any case, the risk was significant.

Saga wouldn’t deliberately pursue this method, but he also didn’t want to grow slowly over a long time.

Therefore, he decided to ignite the spark soon and embark on a journey to other multiverses.

Such opportunities were rare.

After careful consideration, Saga thought there might be a chance for him to break through to demigod.

Moreover, as time passed, the unchanging scenery, filled with red light, swamps, and quicksand of the Casserly Abyss, and the monotonous, unchanging life, made Saga feel a bit bored.

Upon learning of Saga’s thoughts.

Yekaterina didn’t stop him, but she wanted to have a good fight with Saga before he left.

“Come, let me feel your current power.”

Saga’s whisper fell.

Opposite, Yekaterina raised her head, golden threads on her body shining, and at the same time, an endless blaze seemed to ignite around her.

In an instant, Yekaterina transformed into a massive fission fire dragon.

“Forgot to tell you, I can do that too.”

Saga smiled slightly, spreading his wings.

Whoosh!

Flames roared to life, and Saga also transformed into a fission fire dragon that blocked out the sky.

Two fission fire dragons, glowing with endless light and heat, stood opposite each other, like two suns hanging over the Casserly Abyss, dispelling the red twilight and brightening the surroundings.

Rolling heat waves surged.

The dangerous radiation energy within made the demigods feel a prickling threat, causing them to retreat silently and watch from afar.

With a deafening roar and explosion, Yekaterina flapped her wings and charged straight at Saga.

Behind her wings, a sea of fire seemed to boil and surge, imposing and overwhelming like a tsunami.

Saga, unwilling to be outdone, faced Yekaterina’s Dragon Might head-on.

The two fission fire dragons rushed towards each other, closing the distance almost instantly.

At this moment, Yekaterina raised her dragon claw and struck down, clashing with Saga’s extended dragon claw.

Boom!

Like two meteors colliding, shockwaves swept through the sky, making the mountains below tremble.

“Saga, do you think you can defeat me in my area of expertise? Impossible.”

Their eyes met, flames rising.

Yekaterina’s voice rumbled as she exerted force.

Boom! With immense power, in the confrontation, Saga’s fission flame-formed dragon claw shattered, scattering into countless sparks.

Yekaterina’s dragon claw continued its momentum.

After shattering Saga’s dragon claw, it left deep claw marks on his chest.

Yekaterina’s claws danced, creating countless afterimages that enveloped Saga, tearing at his fission fire dragon body, making his once bright and large form quickly dim and shrink.

“Saga, let me tear apart your fragile body!”

As Yekaterina roared triumphantly.

Using Yekaterina’s specialty, nuclear fission, to fight her, though it made Saga look a bit miserable, his mood was calm, even a bit excited, thoughtful.

Yekaterina’s fission fire dragon form was more solid, brighter, and more dazzling than Saga’s.

In terms of strength, speed, agility, defense, and so on.

She was stronger than Saga in every aspect.

It should be noted that Saga was not using weak nuclear fission for the first time. Compared to his use years ago in the battle with the Mud Crab Queen, Saga was now very proficient in using weak nuclear fission.

But Yekaterina’s fission state was still stronger than Saga’s.

This was because.

“Yekaterina is no longer using neutron collisions for nuclear fission.”

“She has skipped the neutron collision step and directly initiated heavy nuclear fission.”

After several rounds of contact, Saga was very certain.

Skipping a step greatly improved Yekaterina’s nuclear fission efficiency, making it much more advanced than Saga’s method of using weak nuclear force decay to produce neutrons and then colliding them with heavy nuclear particles for fission.

Moreover, Yekaterina’s body was almost entirely composed of heavy nuclear particles, making her fission form much stronger than Saga’s.

Buzz!

Blazing white electromagnetic light and dark gravitational light burst forth, covering the flames on his body. Saga switched to his super-heavy electromagnetic form.

Their dragon claws collided again.

This time, unlike before, Saga’s dragon claws didn’t shatter under Yekaterina’s fierce fission claws.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In his full form, Saga clashed head-on with Yekaterina. Each collision carried a world-destroying force, far beyond what legendary creatures could achieve, even demigods would struggle to match.

Yekaterina focused on destruction and annihilation.

Her attacks were all terrifyingly lethal.

However, Saga’s force field defense was impregnable. Before his Power Essence was exhausted, even Yekaterina’s powerful attacks couldn’t break through.

Hardly counterattacking.

Saga’s eyes showed a thoughtful look, focusing on defense and blocking, feeling the force field reactions within Yekaterina’s fission flames during each clash.

Every surge of fission energy was accompanied by a subtle force field reaction.

And within this, the main force was the strong nuclear force that Saga had been yearning for.

Yekaterina wasn’t using the strong nuclear force to initiate nuclear fission.

As a Plutonium Dragon, she had her own methods.

But regardless of the initiation method, when nuclear fission occurred without neutron collisions, the strong nuclear force operated in a special pattern.

Saga was deeply immersed in the strong nuclear force reactions he sensed.

As time passed, with each of Yekaterina’s attacks, every move, the strong nuclear force operation within her fission dragon body became clearer to Saga.

From being hard to detect, to gaining initial insight.

“Saga, are you a turtle? Are you afraid of me?”

“Attack me, show me your strength!”

On the other side, tired of Saga’s lack of aggression and constant defense, Yekaterina growled.

“Alright, as you wish.”

Saga’s eyes shone brightly, a joyful smile on his dragon face, as he spoke.

At the same time.

With hooked fingers, dragon claws sharp, dragon arms like spears.

Suddenly, he thrust towards Yekaterina’s chest.

Facing Saga’s seemingly ordinary attack, Yekaterina felt a deep sense of crisis, immediately crossing her arms in front of her.

Endless flames surged, condensing layer upon layer, making her already thick scales even more impregnable.

By compressing nuclear fission energy into scales, Yekaterina’s defense was also exceptionally strong, and because it was essentially pseudo-divine power, Saga’s electromagnetic force couldn’t easily break it. It should have been like this.

But in reality.

Hiss!

Effortlessly, the hooked dragon claw pierced Yekaterina’s scales, then, like a hot knife through snow, it went forward, almost instantly piercing through Yekaterina’s crossed arms.

“Impossible!”

Yekaterina roared, frantically channeling nuclear fission power. Her dragon arms burst with unprecedented brilliance, resisting Saga’s attack.

However, it was only for a moment.

Crack! Crack! From the point where Saga’s dragon claw pierced, cracks spread like a web, covering Yekaterina’s arms.

The burning flames stagnated and quickly extinguished.

The blinding light dimmed.

Under Saga’s will, the strong nuclear force locked in place, halting Yekaterina’s nuclear fission reaction.

Hiss!

With a sudden exertion, Saga’s claw pierced through Yekaterina’s chest.

The strong nuclear force operated, countless cracks spread like seals over Yekaterina’s fission dragon body.

Boom!

With a shake of his arm, flames burst like fireworks, Yekaterina’s fission dragon body shattered, revealing her true form, glaring at Saga in disbelief, then reconstructing her fission dragon body regardless of the cost.

The result was the same.

Saga’s light touch, like fire licking snow, easily inflicted severe damage on Yekaterina’s fission dragon body.

“Enough, enough.”

The feeling of being completely countered was too unpleasant, Yekaterina stopped the fight in frustration.

“I won again.”

Saga said with a smile, reverting to his golden dragon form.

“Use that power you used against me again, it’s too targeted at me, I need to feel it more and think of a way to counter it.”

Calming down, recalling the battle, Yekaterina said.

Hearing this, Saga raised his dragon claw, preparing to use the strong nuclear force again.

But to Saga’s surprise, he couldn’t sense the strong nuclear force now.

“Wait, use nuclear fission first.”

After thinking, Saga said to Yekaterina.

Yekaterina extended her dragon claw, igniting a layer of fission flames.

At this moment, Saga sensed the strong nuclear force again and could use it a bit based on his previous understanding.

But after Yekaterina ended the fission reaction, Saga’s sense of the strong nuclear force disappeared again.

Realizing this, Saga pondered and said to Yekaterina: “This ability, I can’t use it normally, only when you use fission can I use it.”

Yekaterina: …

“Saga, you wretched brother, you’re deliberately targeting me.”

Yekaterina said angrily, turning her head away, closing her eyes, not looking at Saga.

“…I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Saga wasn’t deliberately targeting her.

He thought carefully and found a reasonable explanation.

“Normally, I can’t sense the specific presence of the strong nuclear force.”

“When Yekaterina uses nuclear fission, the strong nuclear force in her body reacts intensely, allowing me to sense and contact it.”

Saga thought silently:

“Probably when I step into the demigod realm, I can truly start trying to harness the strong nuclear force.”

Although he couldn’t really use it now, gaining initial insight still made Saga very happy.

Especially because, due to the extreme counter to Yekaterina, until she found a way to counter it, Saga’s position in the family was completely secure.
