The strong light and extreme flames had long disappeared. The night sky was clear, and only the crescent moon was left.
Tiamat did not suffer any losses. The divine power she had extracted from her divine kingdom was gone, but she did not stop there. She was still preparing for the next round of attacks.
Caesar was not afraid of this at all. He had succeeded. The fusion fire burned fiercely in his chest. He was now different from the past.
Although nuclear fusion and nuclear fission sounded similar, they were two completely different methods of energy production. The energy produced by the chain reaction of the former was several times that of the latter, or even more.
Caesar floated above the hill, the peaceful aura on his face as if he was sipping his afternoon tea. He was enjoying this moment of silence, and he was also feeling the feeling of his body being filled with power.
The fusion fire was almost endless. The majestic energy supported his body, allowing the Black Dragon, who had reached the limit of his physical body, to not collapse. At the same time, he was rapidly repairing his body that was constantly collapsing at this stage.
Overdraft was inevitable. The moment the furnace was reconstructed, Caesar's body was already riddled with holes. His self-healing ability was not enough to repair the scales that were constantly falling off. He could only pile up a portion of the nuclear energy here to forcibly repair and regenerate.
Using a single claw to create an unstable sphere and hold it up, colliding with Tiamat's divine punishment. It did not seem difficult, and in fact, it was indeed so. What really limited the Black Dragon was his body. This vessel was not ready to fully adapt to the fusion fire.
After the two terrifying energies came into contact, they were quickly annihilated and canceled each other out. This allowed Caesar to test the threshold of Tiamat's divine punishment. He found that it could be resisted, and this allowed the Black Dragon to calm down.
No matter what, if Tiamat wanted to exert influence on the prime material plane, she would inevitably be restricted by various kinds of restrictions. Caesar did not believe that Tiamat could create a more powerful divine punishment. As long as the energy level was the same as before, or even slightly higher, he would be able to withstand it and would no longer have to fear Tiamat's divine might.
The fusion fire gave Caesar enough energy reserves, and he could afford to waste it.
Everything was within Caesar's calculations. If there were no accidents, Tiamat would return empty-handed today. Unfortunately, things often only developed in the worst direction. At this moment, an accident suddenly occurred.
The fusion fire that had been stabilizing was extinguished once again.
Caesar fell from a high place and collapsed to the ground once again. His body, which was already riddled with holes, could no longer support himself. The most exaggerated cracks in history appeared. Although he did not bleed much, the sudden weakness made the Black Dragon understand his current situation.
On the other hand, his mental state was similarly worrisome. His psionic energy had long been squeezed out of him, and after the excitement, his mind was immediately filled with tiredness. The Black Dragon's mind was in a mess.
His first instinct was to rely on his own will to try to restart the furnace again. However, the situation this time was completely different. The fusion fire was not as simple as extinguishing. After a brief sign of instability, it actually began to rapidly decompose and reform into the fission fusion state that Caesar was familiar with. The majestic energy that had been pumped out disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on!"
The Black Dragon roared. In fact, he knew very well what the cause of this problem was, but he was unwilling to admit it.
The fusion fire was ignited in an almost perfect state, but Caesar's body was the first to give out. If he did not activate the protective mechanism of the forced downgrade, this mutated Black Dragon would probably self-destruct and die before Tiamat's divine punishment descended.
His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Waves of tiredness and weakness attacked the poor Black Dragon's brain. Caesar had never liked this feeling. This was a sign that his body was reaching its limit and his brain was out of control. Now that he was in danger, he could not let this happen.
The annoying hazy state lingered in his mind. Caesar walked on the surface of the empty sea. He did not know when he arrived or how he arrived. His body seemed to have turned into a ghost, drifting on the sea filled with hurricanes and reefs. His entire body was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
The sound of rolling waves was heavy. The turbulent waves rolled up white waves on the ink-black surface of the sea. The scene in his dream was like a rough silhouette painting. Caesar did not even know why he had appeared here.
"Do you thirst for power?"
Just as Caesar was puzzled, a strange and familiar murmur suddenly sounded. This voice was not the language of any known species. Even the vocal organs of living creatures could not produce such a strange tone, but it went straight to Caesar's heart, allowing him to understand the meaning of this voice.
"It's you again?" The Black Dragon's vertical eye turned and looked around with a cold face.
Many years ago, he had come into contact with such strange and vicious things. Back then, the indescribable statue found in Roy's house was sent to the Blackwing Kingdom. This voice had first sounded then, but after being interrogated and despised by Caesar, it disappeared silently. It did not affect him at all.
After the statue was destroyed, the people of the Blackwing Kingdom who came into contact with that thing quickly went crazy and died. Everything after that was calm and peaceful. Similar strange things did not happen again, and Caesar gradually put it to the back of his mind.
He did not expect that it would appear again after so many years. It was like a poisonous stinger buried in the deepest part of his body. When the Black Dragon reached his limit, it took advantage of the situation and created an illusory dream to hook Caesar into the dream.
A bright bolt of lightning flashed past, illuminating his body. At this time, Caesar realized that he was no longer the powerful Black Dragon Lord, but a weak and powerless Dragon Whelp.
"Stupid fantasy, childish trick." Glancing at his body, Caesar said with a frown.
"Chi …"
That voice let out a low moan, as if it was laughing.
At this time, a series of gigantic bubbles suddenly appeared in the sea. Each bubble was nearly a hundred times bigger than the Black Dragon in the dream. Then, a hurricane surged, and the boundless sea began to rumble and tremble.
It was as if there was a huge monster that wanted to escape from the prison of the sea.
Rumble.
In the incomparably deep darkness, a giant wave dozens of meters high suddenly roared and slapped at Caesar. However, Caesar did not dodge or even blink his eyes, allowing the monstrous wave to pass through his body.
At the end of Caesar's sight, on the sea level, two huge full moons rose out of thin air.
That was not the moon, but a pair of eyes that could make one go crazy. Through the suffocating darkness, one could see that under those eyes, there seemed to be countless huge tentacles that were wriggling and wriggling constantly. Each of them was larger than the largest Ancient Dragon.
Only half of this huge monster's body could be vaguely seen, and most of the rest was submerged under the dark sea. But just the upper body alone was nearly a thousand meters tall. The body of the Dragon Whelp in Caesar's dream was probably not even comparable to the tentacles on those deformed arms.
Countless shadows appeared in front of his eyes, and the various illusions rushed left and right in his mind. Such a nightmarish figure could squeeze the mind of any living creature, and cause those who dared to look directly at it to fall into a permanent breakdown … Forget it.
Caesar curled his lips. Although the senses were no different from the real world, and the suffocating atmosphere that made one despair was just right, he knew very well that all of this was an illusory dream, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Relying on the unknown to create fear might work every time, but Caesar already knew that the other party could not forcefully affect him — if it could, it would have done it a long time ago.
Perhaps this indescribable monster before him was indeed its true form, and this monster did indeed have a great power that was difficult to look directly at. But as far as the current situation was concerned, its threat to Caesar was not as high as the Evil Dragon Mother.
Looking straight at the figure that was enough to make one go crazy, Caesar said calmly, "Is it enough?
When can I go back? "
Gulp.
The sound did not come from the monster's mouth, but from all directions, transmitted through a method similar to controlling the vibration of the air.
The meaning of the whisper was very easy to understand. "You, now, in danger … Desire, power, right?"
It had to be said that it had picked a good time, appearing suddenly when Caesar was on the verge of despair and powerless. It was not easy to reject the temptation of power at this time, even for Caesar. At the end of the day, he was just a dark and selfish guy who pursued profit. The words of the unknown creature made the Black Dragon who wanted to leave immediately hesitate for a moment.
In the end, Caesar thought for a while and asked, "Then, what is the price?"
"Heh …"
The nightmarish figure laughed softly. The hurricane came again, and huge waves were swept up into the sky one after another. It seemed to be able to peek into the deepest thoughts of people — the Black Dragon had been shaken.
"Your dream …"
Boom!
Before the words could finish, a bolt of lightning came down from the sky like a long dragon, blooming with the most dazzling light, and then disappeared. Before Caesar could say anything to refuse, the whole space of consciousness shook violently, and the real dream shattered like snowflakes.
In a trance, he seemed to hear a roar of anger and unwillingness.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like only a moment had passed. A strong needle-like instinctive warning made him suddenly wake up from his dizziness. Before he could think, the feeling of impending doom filled his whole body.
The Black Dragon looked up, and Tiamat's fourth Divine Punishment came crashing down in an instant.
