Chapter 653: The Dragon Race Chess Piece And The Shattering Of The World

“As expected of the Dragon God, his strength is indeed formidable.”

The God-king of Hell’s expression was malevolent as he praised.

The people from the Kingdom of Kings had ugly expressions. One strike from Orianna had reduced the Kingdom of Kings’ territory by a quarter. In other words, if Orianna released three more attacks, the entire Kingdom of Kings would be destroyed.

In the sky, Watson faced the powerful Orianna. His eyes flickered as he waved his hand. A group of giant dragons immediately flew out from Mount Creation.

Those giant dragons, led by the Death Dragon King Nidhogg and many other Dragon Kings, arrived before Orianna.

“Lord Dragon God, Stop!”

“That is where we live. I did not think that Lord Dragon God would personally come here. However, you have the wrong target. The gods standing beside you are our enemies.”

The Light Dragon King Odyssey explained to Orianna with a smile.

Orianna’s expression was calm and unmoved by Odyssey’s words.

“Lord Dragon God, didn’t you come to this world to help us?”

Ignoring Odyssey, Orianna looked around at the many dragons. Her gaze fell on the leader of the Death Dragon King. “Nidhogg, long time no see. It must have been tens of thousands of years! Back then, you didn’t follow me to the divine realm. Instead, you stayed in this small world. Are you still complaining about what I did back then?”

The Death Dragon King, Nidhogg, frowned. The clown makeup on his face wrinkled, making him look more like a clown.

“Are you not willing to answer me? Then forget it. I came here with only one purpose: to destroy the Kingdom of Kings. As dragons, you are my compatriots. If you want to live, then come to my side. After I destroy the Kingdom of Kings, I will bring you to the divine realm. If you don’t want to leave with me, then stay here and destroy the Kingdom of Kings with me.”

Orianna’s voice was calm, but it contained an unquestionable tone. All the Dragons present looked at each other when they heard it, their faces full of disbelief.

“The Dragon God wants to make an enemy out of King Watson. What should we do?”

“The Dragon God also said that she will destroy this place if we don’t leave with her. Is she serious?”

Light Dragon King Odyssey’s face twitched as he tried to smooth things over. “Why would the Dragon God harm us? She is just joking with us…”

“Shut up!”

Nidhogg interrupted Odyssey and turned around to walk in front of Orianna. “I can follow you to the divine realm, but you have to let go of this world and the other dragons.”

“Nidhogg, what do you mean?” The Dragon God is indeed the ruler of the dragon race, but His Majesty Watson has treated us equally well. If it weren’t for His Majesty Watson, we would not have been able to live in a kingdom with abundant resources, much less reach the Dragon God-tier. His Majesty Watson has also solved the problem of the dragon race’s reproductive difficulties.”

The person who spoke was the Forest Dragon King, Rita. Her face was full of anger. The Dragon God was an extraordinary existence that every dragon had to respect. It was the same for Watson. Watson’s status was similar to that of the Dragon God.

The other dragons were also blaming Nidhogg.

“The Dragon Emperor has given up a lot for us. How can you betray him just because of a single word from the Dragon God?”

“Speaking of which, the Dragon God is too strange. How can a real Dragon God disregard our lives just like that? Maybe she is a fake?”

Those words reached Nidhogg’s ears, making him click his tongue impatiently. “It is my freedom to choose who to follow and listen to. I only have those few rights, yet you keep stopping me. Do you want to court death? Stop talking nonsense. Those who want to live should come here quickly. You don’t know how powerful the Dragon God, Orianna, is.”

As an elite of the Dragon Clan who had survived the ancient times, Nidhogg knew Orianna very well. Even though Nidhogg was at the peak of starlight-tier, he did not have the confidence to win against Orianna.

“Nidhogg, you treacherous fellow, don’t talk to us.”

“Since you don’t listen to me, I will beat you to the ground and make you have no choice but to listen.”

Seeing that no Dragon King was willing to listen to him, a cold light flashed in Nidhogg’s eyes. Starlight appeared on his body, and a huge magic symbol that symbolized the source of life element magic appeared in the sky above his head. He extended his right hand, his arm continued to expand in the air, and soon, it turned into a dragon claw comparable to a mountain range. It slammed down fiercely at all the dragon kings in front of him.

Roar!

Faced with his strike, the Dragon Kings shook and expanded their wings, transforming into massive dragons. Each of them extended their huge arms and obstructed his onslaught.

Seeing that his attack was blocked, the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling came from Nidhogg’s dragon claw. The creatures he had killed before materialized, turning into wailing ghosts, bound by emerald-green chains of life. They flew toward the Dragon Kings. Among those creatures were starlight-tier gods holding broken weapons, and there were also existences below starlight-tier. There were many of them, and they were about to devour the Dragon Kings.

At that moment, Orianna snapped her fingers, and the ghosts that filled the sky disappeared.

“Nidhogg, you’ve killed enough creatures. You don’t need to deal with those rebellious dragons. I’ll do it myself.”

He removed a jade pendant from his body and flicked it lightly toward the Dragon God Orianna in front of him. In midair, the jade pendant expanded to the size of a kingdom. It swooped down on the few dragon rulers. The larger domain was filled with scary power. The Blackmoon Knights, who had just endured the planet’s invasion, were crushed without a fight. The dragon’s body was far stronger than the Blackmoon Knights’, but it was still difficult to overcome.

As a result of the massive world pressing down on them, some Dragon Kings fell into the territory of the Kingdom of Kings in agony, shattering a few sacred mountains. They did not die, but the dragon scales on their bodies were crushed, and their flesh and blood were flattened, giving them the appearance of being on their final breaths.

It had only been a minute since the dragons had fought and the Dragon God had attacked. Everyone present was unable to respond in time. The God-king of Cthulhu and the God-king of Hell’s eyes twinkled at the scene, but they said nothing. Watson, on the other hand, grimaced and tightened his fists.

“What kind of Dragon God is he to attack his own compatriots?”

He had initially believed that if the Dragon God stopped, he would be able to forget about the destruction he had previously inflicted. Since he had seen the Dragon God send several Dragon Kings flying, he could not hold back his rage; in his heart, those Dragon Kings had been with him for a long time, and they were already his family.

Orianna removed another jade pendant from her garment after dispatching the Dragon Kings. She wanted to convert it into a world and entirely crush the Dragon Kings’ bodies. When Watson lifted his right hand to stop her, he was interrupted by a poofing sound. Nidhogg, standing near Orianna, stabbed her in the chest with his right hand.

Blood stained Nidhogg’s arm and cascaded down Orianna’s robe. Orianna’s hand trembled slightly, allowing the jade pendant to fall into the earth and transform into a giant world, producing a large crater in the ground that shook the entire realm of kings.

“Nidhogg, you came to me decisively and attacked the Dragon Kings, as expected. Your mission was not to murder them but to keep them safe! So many years have gone, yet you have not changed at all.”

Orianna lowered her head and gazed down at the wound on her chest before turning her head and staring coldly at Nidhogg.

“Cut the nonsense, Orianna. That is not the place for you! If you know what is best for you, leave right now. Otherwise, I can’t let you go…”

“You think you can beat me?”

Orianna’s voice was as frigid as it had always been. A deep spark of life immediately filled the space where her chest had been pierced. A dragon-shaped chess piece in emerald green flew out. The chess piece in question was the dragon race chess piece.

Nidhogg’s arm was driven out of Olyanna’s chest after the dragon-shaped chess piece flew out. The other gods were astonished to discover, through the blood-stained wound, that there was no heart in Olyanna’s chest, only a big hole. It was not the result of Nidhogg’s strike, but it was already present. The dark hole contained no organs. There was nothing but nothingness.

“The power of the dragon race’s chess piece, Heartless One!”

Slowly, Orianna opened her mouth and chanted a strange spell.

“Run!”

Nidhogg whirled around and yelled at Watson and the others standing behind him. He tried to pull his arm out of Orianna’s body, hoping to escape, but he could not because a powerful force sprang from the dark void in Orianna’s chest and absorbed his arm and then his entire body.

His entire body quickly transformed into bits of light and disappeared. The life-elemental magical source that had appeared in the sky was still shining, but it had become dim. It fractured into scattered balls of life force, which poured into the Dragon God’s chest and condensed into an emerald-colored crystal-clear heart.

The life essence was used to create the Dragon Clan chess piece. Its ability, callous, was to absorb other life forms in order to improve its own. All absorbed energy was kept in the heart, and there was no upper limit to that ability; in other words, the dragon chess piece might become eternally powerful as long as it continued to collect energy.

In general, the dragon chess piece’s energy was fixed and could not be enhanced. The dragon chess piece was unique. It was clear from this that the chess piece was not ordinary.

The dragon race chess piece was formidable, but it had some unintended consequences. After utilizing the dragon chess piece, its own heart would be sacrificed to the genesis of life in the universe vanish forever; without a heart, they would be unable to have emotions or feel joy and grief.

As Nidhogg’s body shattered, the dragons nearby Orianna began to flee in all directions. Some of the dragons who were slower to flee were drawn into the black hole on Orianna’s breast, as were gods from other species.

As the many races vanished into the hole in Orianna’s chest, the outline of her heart became increasingly visible. As it moved, an emerald-green heart beat furiously. Her body emitted an aura that transcended the apex of starlight-tier.

“The power of the dragon race’s chess pieces, the Life Court!”

At that time, Orianna resurrected the heart she had surrendered to the source of life. That heart has simply the outline of a heart. Its essence was the acme of life’s beginning.

As one of the three primary origins of the cosmos, the life source possessed the ultimate power of life. Any life that had grown to its final form would have the same purpose to appear before the life court.

Orianna’s heart emitted green electric light, twisting around her body and transforming into dragon shadows. They formed a massive sea that was teeming with numerous consciousnesses.

The so-called court of life was a confluence of consciousnesses, but not just any confluence.

In the court of life, there was no distinction between high and low consciousnesses.

They only had absolute logic and would always make the best decision.

That was pretty similar to the God of Death’s combination. The court of life was far more advanced than the God of Death’s combination.

After transforming into the God of Death’s form, Orianna cast her cold green gaze around her. Finally, she landed on Watson and raised a finger.

“Life’s verdict!”

As green lightning shot across the air, penetrating through the air and landing on Watson’s shoulder, crackling sounds burst out.

Watson extended his finger in the direction of the green lightning. The brilliant light burst outward, becoming a flaming light as the molecules accelerated. The blazing light met with the green lightning, passing through it.

The lightning and the burning light did not appear to interfere with one another. The blazing light struck Orianna’s body and was swallowed by the black hole in her chest. Watson was also struck by green lightning, which left a burned black mark on his body. That mark could not be removed under any circumstances. He might not be able to resurrect if he was killed by green lightning.

Watson gritted his teeth and refused to back down, despite his anxiety. Instead, he conjured up the three-in-one racing chess piece. “Welcome to the future!”

The three-in-one chess piece’s power was fully unleashed, constructing a rotating door behind him. The door on the other side went to the future. Watson’s power was carried to the future and magnified countless times before being returned.

The green lightning ripped apart the starlight robe, transforming it into Starlight armor. Twenty-four long spears made of various magical sources hovered behind the armor. The crown on his head twisted and twisted, becoming even larger, and his body emanated a peak-tier starlight aura.

“Kill all the enemies, Magical Origin Spear!”

Under his command, the twenty-four long spears floating in the air fused into one. The twenty-four long spears with varied properties combined to form a long spear that spanned thousands of meters and possessed powers such as life, death, chaos, ice, lightning, poison, and many others.

If the life court summoned by the dragon race chess piece was the ultimate form of life, Watson’s Magical Origin Spear was the essential source of cosmic energy.

The essence of life and energy collided fiercely in the air.

The green lightning collided with the energy balls of various hues, transforming into raging flames that spread in all directions, scorching the entire planet.

Even gods were powerless to interfere in that raging earth. Many of the gods’ liberated Divine Kingdoms were burned to ashes by the raging flames, transforming into the gods’ remains while wailing in agony.

Orianna absorbed the dead gods, or Watson used the fusion system’s power to turn the gods’ remains into nutrition for himself. As a result, Watson and Orianna’s aura grew stronger and stronger. The rate at which the planet was collapsing accelerated.

“Retreat, quickly retreat!”

When the God-king of Hell and God-king of Cthulhu saw that scene, they did not intend to stay and pick up the scraps. Instead, they rushed towards the sky with the numerous gods, hoping to breach a gap in the sky and flee that world.

What made them despair was that the Blackmoon Knights, who were dressed in armor and used magical weapons, created an organized defensive formation in the air. Scorching rays pierced the sky, obstructing their retreating movements.

Those Blackmoon Knights were not as powerful as they expected.

After the gods shattered their armor, some of the Blackmoon Knights’ exposed skin could not resist a single blow from the might of the divine realm, melting or disappearing in an instant. Despite being bathed in blood and on the edge of death, not a single Blackmoon Knight fled.

Their resistant posture seemed to indicate that this was their home. They would not go so lightly now that the gods had entered. Even if they had to die together, they would not hesitate.

“D*mn mortals!”

The gods’ roars, the noises of the divine kingdom crashing, the sky shattering, and the earth collapsing all heard simultaneously, making everything around them look like the end of the world.

…

Thorn Empire.

On the highest mountain top, at the frontier between the Thorn Empire and the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

Gilgamesh commanded his empire’s forces and perched atop the mountain summit. Everyone held their breath as the empire’s million-strong army prepared to march.

“The battle has already lasted an hour. I am curious about the outcome. When faced with a god-tier opponent, no matter how powerful the Kingdom of Kings is, it can not possibly be a match for them, can it? When the gods are about to demolish the Kingdom of Kings, we will lead the army to charge in and follow behind the gods to grab a piece of the action.”

As he sat on the throne, Gilgamesh’s face looked pallid. It was apparent that he had slashed his wrist and bled in order to summon the divine army. He had not yet recovered.

“Your Majesty is wise. Letting the gods take the lead will not only allow us to take down the Kingdom of kings without bloodshed but also allow the Thorn Empire to become the largest kingdom in the world in one fell swoop! Unifying the entire continent and becoming the overlord of the world will be at that moment.”

Bismarck, who was not far from Gilgamesh, said solemnly. The other ministers also praised him.

Gilgamesh’s face was beaming with pride. “Everyone has helped to overthrow the Kingdom of Kings! I will contact the Thorn Goddess right now and request that her majesty send us the fighting scenes. Let us see when the best time is to send soldiers.”

Gilgamesh recited a spell as he spoke. A massive magical screen materialized in front of him right away. The screen displayed a battle between numerous gods and the Kingdom of Kings. The situation was so sad; they were taken aback by the scale of the fight.

“I had no idea the Kingdom of Kings could be so powerful. It is even on par with the gods.”

“The battle is so intense. How are we going to get there?”

“Look at how the world in which the Kingdom of Kings is located appears to be disintegrating. The sky and the earth are riddled with fissures. It is as if the world has come to an end.”

The soldiers and ministers of the Thorn empire exclaimed when they saw the contents of the magic screen.

Soon after, some sharp-eyed individuals turned their heads to stare into the distance and yelled, “This is not good. The fissures appear to be eroding our empire.”

More individuals raised their heads and noticed cracks in the sky above them. Those fissures obscured the transparent light barrier behind the sky. That light barrier had once been a world barrier, but it was now continually shattering, with dregs flowing out.

Not to mention the fact that the ground had cracked. Cracks dozens of meters long appeared one after the other. Hot magma flowed out of the earth’s core, reaching the planet’s surface.

The shattered sky and earth soon arrived in the Thorn Empire. Many gold and silver-tier soldiers were burned to ashes by the magma that spilled out because they could not avoid the fractures in the earth. Many elites above the gold tier could not escape their fate even if they flew into the sky since the sky was beginning to split.

A massive world barrier descended, exposing the infinite expanse of the holy realm behind them.

“It is all over. The Thorn empire has come to an end. This world has come to an end.”

Gilgamesh’s eyes were filled with remorse as he stared blankly at the devastated universe. He intended to utilize the gods’ might to conquer the Kingdom of Kings, but he did not anticipate the Kingdom of Kings and the gods would fight so fiercely, shattering the universe.

Under those conditions, even if he won the Kingdom of Kings, he would not get anything. The Thorn Empire would be destroyed in the fallen world before conquering the Kingdom of Kings.

“Could this be the will of the god? Am I in the wrong?”

Gilgamesh’s body trembled as he struggled to stand amid a world on the point of collapse. Suddenly, the space over his head broke wide, and a hundred-meter-long shard of the world barrier descended like the sharpest razor.

A few troops rushed in his way, shouting, “Protect His Majesty!” In the end, those warriors vanished with him behind the world barrier fragment, leaving no dregs behind. At the same time, the remaining Thorn Empire soldiers and ministers perished in the shattered world, pleading for a chance to survive. Unfortunately, they could only be defeated by the harsh realities of life.

The Thorn empire will cease to exist as of that day. Even if someone survived, the Thorn Empire would no longer be able to rule the continent..
