On both sides of the Black Dream was still an endless darkness, but from time to time, there would be various unknown creatures cheering, howling, and even roaring. When they first appeared, even Caesar was shocked, and now he was also confused.
Walking along the path to the end, the edge of the giant display case that was emitting light expanded by several times, and he could vaguely see a garden-like square.
When Caesar came closer and saw the sudden appearance of the dark space, his pupils could not help but shrink.
In the middle of the square, there was an obsidian statue that was close to five meters tall.
It was a Black Dragon, covered in armor-like scales, with strong muscles and sharp claws and teeth. It was simply a miniature version of Caesar, and even some of the details were the same. Its eyes were dyed red by blood jade, and there were fine cracks on its chest.
The Black Dragon statue bared its teeth, revealing a ferocious look. It was sitting on the throne, looking down at its feet with a serious face.
Below the "mini" statue in Caesar's eyes, there was a miniature city that was exactly the same as the countries in the North. There were still unclear boundaries between the countries that had not completely merged. The country and the statue were surrounded by yellow sand, and in the middle of the sand that acted as the continent, there were many empty spaces that were reserved. Those were unknown areas that Caesar had not explored and understood.
Caesar took in all of this, and pondered for a while without saying anything. Then he turned to the huge glorious trophy next to the display case.
[King of Black Wings]
Your performance in the battle against the Five-Colored Evil Dragon was extremely outstanding, and since then, your name has been recorded in the history books. The name Caesar · Tangerine has been widely spread once again. From now on, after some people have heard of your deeds, they will not be able to sleep or eat in peace.
— — Fame is sometimes also power.
Reward: Radiation.
This was a pure gold reward, and Caesar did not need to think to know where this achievement came from. First, he beat up the ancestral blue dragon Alex, and then endured three rounds of Tiamat's divine punishment. Even if the Evil Dragon Mother and the evil dragons did not mention it, this matter could not be hidden. Recently, it had spread widely in Airadia, and even had the tendency to spread to other regions in the Astral Plane.
However, what puzzled Caesar was that the radiation ability was originally a subsidiary function of the fission furnace, but he did not have a way to control it at the moment. Black Dream simply helped him open up a channel to control this ability, and it could release the radiation in his body. Logically speaking, this level should not be able to reach the level of pure gold, but black jade.
Of course, he would only know how effective this reward was after he returned to reality to experiment.
When he finished reading the entire contents of the trophy, the words on the base were easily erased by some mysterious force as if they were chalk. Caesar gently touched the trophy, and the towering trophy turned into fine light spots as usual and merged into his body.
Caesar turned to look at the second trophy, the Black Jade trophy.
[Psionic Apostle]
Congratulations, you have found an additional way to obtain power and have crossed the threshold of psionic power. After this, your hearing, sight, smell, touch, and taste have been greatly improved, and from now on, you will have the perception ability of a true god.
— — The life of a mutated dragon is one in a million, and its unique characteristic makes your every move attract attention. Be careful of those eyes.
Reward: Hunting Intuition.
Caesar frowned slightly, not because of the reward without any description. Black Dream had always been like this, and he was already used to it. What made Caesar uneasy was that the label on the trophy seemed to have a deeper meaning. The "unique characteristic" at the end of the description, was it referring to his identity as a mutated dragon, or Black Dream himself?
Be careful of those eyes, was it referring to the tentacle monster?
Although the Black Dragon had doubts, he did not ask for the method. The mysterious dark space seemed to be just a high-level program that did not have self-consciousness, and Caesar could passively adapt to it.
Other than that, Caesar glanced at the newly appeared miniature city and did not notice anything unusual. This should be a new function of the dark space, used to show his current situation. Other than that, there was nothing special.
Seeing that he had finished understanding and obtaining what he needed, Caesar stayed alone in the dark space for a while, and then he wanted to leave. When he thought about it, his consciousness and senses suddenly became dislocated, and he returned to reality in the blink of an eye.
As far as his eyes could see, all living things that moved in slow motion like bullet time quickly returned to normal.
However, the Black Dragon did not immediately climb out of the hot spring to test his rebirth ability. Instead, he sank deeper and began to sleep again.
After all, Caesar's current state was still not good. His rebirth ability had not repaired his overdrawn body's functions. Now, the Black Dragon's muscles were still sore, and the furnace had been in an inefficient state. It was better to avoid going out as much as possible during this period. Tiamat was not someone who gave up easily. Only God knew if she would find a chance to attack again.
A series of bubbles rose to the surface of the lake, and the Black Dragon sank to the bottom of the hot spring. Even the jagged thorns on his back sank into the water and disappeared. Caesar fell into a short sleep, and during this time, his body unexpectedly discharged a lot of heat.
Although the fission furnace was constantly being adjusted and repaired under the influence of Caesar's subjective will, it could not be restored to its best state. He could only do his best to prevent it from performing worse.
At the same time, without Caesar's deliberate influence, his body also grew in a small range due to its adaptive function. There was a certain degree of adjustment to adapt to the changes that might occur in the future.
Blazing heat constantly radiated from the sleeping Black Dragon's body. At the highest temperature, it even caused the entire hot spring to boil, which was very shocking.
While Caesar was recovering, time continued to pass. The battle between the Chromatic Dragons and the Metallic Dragons was about to come to an end, but the war between them was like any other war in the past millions of years. In the end, there was no clear victor, and both sides retreated with heavy injuries.
Caesar had also swallowed the consequences of this war, but because of his decision, the Blackwing Empire was able to stay out of the War of the Dragons, leaving behind an extremely large portion of their military reserves. The Blackwing Clan under his command had almost been completely preserved in the truest sense.
On the other hand, this battle had also indirectly promoted the integration of the various countries in the Northern Lands. After the powerful Black Dragon had completed the unification of the various countries, the Blackwing's Lair, which had the entire Northern Lands as its territory, could finally be marked as a country on the map of the Continent of Aladia. Although the newly born Blackwing Empire was pitifully small in both size and population, it was believed that after a long period of time, these difficulties would gradually improve.
