Chapter 1179
"Long time no see."
Kingdom"s Shield raised her hand, and several curious fairy b.u.t.terflies landed on her fingertips, gracefully dancing. It seemed that they remembered this knight who had once visited the fairy garden.
Only they, untouched by time, took care of these rare flowers and plants in the secluded tower, day after day, like diligent gardeners.
"I envy you, always so carefree," Kingdom"s Shield said, watching the b.u.t.terflies dance freely in the fairy garden, as if she had returned to her youthful days.
Back then, she was pure and flawless, her hands untouched by so much blood.
The war between humans and dragons was not as just and righteous as later history books would claim.
At that time, there were humans who chose to stand with the strongest race, the dragons, believing the dragons" rule was unshakable.
However, they didn"t expect the arrival of The King of Undead.
Among the millions of undead army sleeping in the Underground Cemetery, many were once human armies who had sided with the dragons.
And the one who devised the strategy to completely annihilate these human armies was none other than the highest military leader of the Underground Cemetery - the former number one knight of the continent.
The true King of Undead was actually more inclined towards scholarly research.
If it weren"t for the situation where war had come to the point where humans and dragons could only remain on the continent, he probably wouldn"t have taken the initiative to partic.i.p.ate in the fighting.
"Now, on this continent, you"re the only dragon left."
"You have the qualifications to be the representative of the dragon clan and fulfill the original alliance." Regarding the disappearance of the dragon clan, not even the mermaids or the Lamia clan have any clues.
It seems that at some point in time, all the dragon clans, as well as some ancient races in the deep sea, completely disappeared from Sia"s world.
The sky still remains unbroken, and in an era where the magic tide is weakening, many people believe that these races couldn"t adapt to the extremely harsh magical environment and naturally died out.
Kingdom"s Shield doesn"t believe that the dominant dragon clan of this world would simply vanish, but they also can"t find any clues about them.
It seems that in this world, there is truly only this young dragon left before our eyes.
However, the power of this young dragon is extremely strong, as if it embodies the miracle of the entire dragon clan.
The last time this special dragon clan appeared, it was none other than Kingdom"s Shield"s half-body, the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon.
Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon was the only unique dragon species in the history of the dragon realm, carrying the hope for the dragon clan to break through Sia"s world and venture into the stars.
During that war, the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon was tasked with observations and reconnaissance from tens of thousands of meters high in the sky, a position unknown to humans.
Theoretically, the weaponry of Sia"s world at that time was incapable of reaching the heights where the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon resided, and even other dragons of the same species posed no threat to it.
So, the dragon clan allowed the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon to patrol at such heights with full confidence. This young dragon, who had only ignited three Electric Rings, was responsible for observing the entire Sia"s world and preparing for the future breakthrough of Heaven"s Banishment.
The war with humans was impossible to lose, and many dragons even treated it as a game. In the early stages, the ground forces led by the troll clan alone pushed humans back in constant retreat.
If humans didn"t have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, the initial casualties would have turned this war into a one-sided ma.s.sacre.
A troll was capable of annihilating half of a human army, an undead monster.
No one expected that the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon would be shot down by a sudden attack, without even a chance for warning or rescue.
By the end of the war, the dragon clan still didn"t know how the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon died and what kind of attack caused its demise.
The hope that soared through the sky was shattered for the dragon clan of the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon. Viewing the death of the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon as a turning point for the entire battlefield was not an exaggeration.
Losing the advantageous position of observing the ground freely from tens of thousands of meters high, combined with the emergence of The King of Undead joining the battle under the control of Opera House Phantom, the Undead Army began to push back the dragon army which once held absolute superiority.
In the end, the dragon clan retreated from the continent in disappointment, also losing the last hope of breaking through Sia"s world, Heaven"s Banishment.
The deceased Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon could no longer grow, and there were only three of the Seven Electric Rings left that could be activated. In a sense, the sudden death of the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon was more devastating for the dragon clan than the failure to claim dominance over the continent.
After Kingdom"s Shield became the soul core of the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon, one could feel the strong unwillingness and sadness within the body of the deceased dragon.
This had nothing to do with war. In reality, the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon had never partic.i.p.ated in the battlefield between humans and dragons. Its goals were far broader.
The Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon yearned for the infinite expanse of the starry sky, and for this reason, it gave birth to the Seven Electric Rings, which theoretically could break through Heaven"s Banishment.
However, both the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon and The King of Undead lost their most important things because of that war.
Millions of years have pa.s.sed, and everything returns to dust and earth. Even for such long-lived creatures as dragons, there probably aren"t any individuals still alive today.
The long-dead Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon still holds onto the hope and dream of reaching the stars, and now that dream is pa.s.sed on to the Underground Cemetery.
The Kingdom"s Shield approves of the Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon"s dream and has decided to fulfill it. It is her promise to the deceased Rift s.p.a.ce Dragon, as well as her obsession.
"Surely you"ve noticed the unnaturalness of this world."
"Sia is the cradle of all living beings in this world, a world created by the body of Leviathan."
"Now, it"s time for us, who have grown up in the cradle, to break free and head towards the stars."
With eyes full of excitement, Kingdoms Shield pointed towards the sky.
"You can"t imagine how vibrant and colorful the world above our heads is, with so many glorious races and legends."
"What we see, what we observe, is just a tiny fraction of the vastness of the night sky."
"Come with us and see the true world!"
I know, that"s what the starry sky really looks like - Yun Xi looked at the shining Kingdom"s Shield with both eyes.
Growing up in the Sky Sword G.o.d"s Domain, where the star bridge is open and even ordinary people can travel through the stars, he never realized what an incredible civilization achievement it was.
The beings who created the Endless G.o.d"s Domain star bridge system are truly worthy of being the greatest Creator G.o.ds in the Endless G.o.d"s Domain.
It would be better if they weren"t his terrifying ex-girlfriends.
