Chapter 552: Peace Above All Else, the Clean Freak Crimson King (II)

While the red serpent was still stunned, the Silver Colossal Dragon proudly roared once more,

Today, the Dragon Palace will unify the seas. No one can stop the great Saixitia from accomplishing our faction’s objective.

That being said, I give your empire two choices: you can either fight to the death against the Dragon Palace and its powerful members, or you can surrender.

The red serpent suppressed its doubts. It then politely growled,

Dragon King Saixitia, I believe there is a third option.

The Silver Colossal Dragon looked puzzled.

A third option?

My king has always been a lover of peace and an advocate of friendly development. We are willing to give up our territory to you and retreat from this world, never to return again.

The unexpected offer caused all the battle-ready colossal beasts to pause.

Even the Heavenly Dragon, who was circling in the clouds, was taken aback. How could the red serpent surrender to the Dragon Palace before they even had a chance to fight and prove their dominance in combat?

Wait, no.

The Silver Colossal Dragon's eyes sharpened with insight.

Something's wrong. If you want to surrender and retreat, why has your king not come here?

The red serpent growled back,

the world passage is too small and can only be traversed by ordinary mythical beasts. My king is too strong to go through it and descend to this world.

The Silver Colossal Dragon turned serious, immediately realizing that the Red Dragon Empire’s leader was far stronger than anticipated.

Amid the Silver Colossal Dragon’s contemplation, a deep, powerful voice reverberated from the clouds.

I didn’t expect the Crimson King to share my love for peace. In return for the sincerity that you have shown us, I will allow the Red Dragon Empire to ally with the Dragon Palace. From now on, we will no longer interfere with each other.

Each world passage had a capacity limit, and if a powerful life form exceeded that limit, it would be rejected by both worlds, preventing it from entering.

The other faction’s leader could not come over and face the Dragon Palace. The Heavenly Dragon, who was as strong as peak mythical-level beings, could not pass through either.

With enough power, they could forcefully tear open a passage, but doing so would incur backlash from the world’s principles.

Now that the Heavenly Dragon had spoken, the Silver Colossal Dragon naturally had no objections.

Since Ao Tian agrees to your proposal, the great Saixitia will also permit this!

Once again bewildered, the red serpent hesitantly asked,

Great Dragon King Saixitia, didn’t you just say you were the King of the Dragon Palace? Who was that just now, then? Why does it speak for you?

The Silver Colossal Dragon nodded.

I am indeed the King of Dragon Palace. The one who spoke just now was Thunder Fiery Dragon King Ao Tian. The Dragon Palace has several other Dragon Kings apart from us.

The Single-Horned Kun flapped its fins, releasing an explosive burst of pressure. It then let out a cry that was reminiscent of a foghorn.

Wuuu! I am the Single-Horned Kun, the King of Black and White from the Dragon Palace.

The Nine-Headed Serpent, surrounded by a surge of blood-red flames, roared chaotically.

I am the Nine-Headed Dragon King, Ghido... rah!

The Dragon Turtle, who was emitting a yellow glow, let out a thunderous roar from afar.

I am Baxia, the King of Earth and Destruction.

At that moment, a pressure comparable to an ordinary mythical-level beast erupted from the sky, and the usually absent Zhulong let out an earth-shattering roar.

I am Zhulong, the King of Day and Night.

The red serpent’s jaw dropped as it watched the massive beasts release explosive energy.

Finally, in a state of shock, confusion, and chaos, the red serpent turned and left along with its two subordinates, disappearing into the swirling silver vortex beneath the sea.

Amidst the rolling clouds, the terrifying roar of the Heavenly Dragon echoed,

All beasts, follow me. We will flatten the remaining two world passages!

Kill! Ghidorah, today we’ll blow them away!

Flatten the ocean, dominate the world!

the Dragon Turtle ecstatically growled.

The other beasts also let out excited cries, their excitement rising.

The Dragon Palace was so powerful that even without fighting, they managed to subdue a mythical beast empire.

The Silver Colossal Dragon flapped its wings and rose to an altitude of ten thousand meters. It narrowed its eyes at the circling red beasts in suspicion.

Zhulong, be honest! Have you been pretending to be an idiot?

Seemingly confused, Zhulong didn’t know how to reply.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dragon, riding the storm toward Passage Two, had already made its way through the world passage and appeared in the mythical world.

Amid the swirling mist, they arrived at the edge of a boundless forest, its trees hundreds to thousands of meters tall. The three beasts emerged from the vortex.

The red serpent turned back and growled,

from now on, you don’t have to worry about the other side. Your task is to patrol the edge of this forest and drive out any invading beasts.

Every ten cycles, the king will reward you with a Crimson Blood Crystal. Any unusual situation can be reported to me at the Central Mountain Range.

Roar! Don’t worry, my lord. I will watch over this place.

The two colossal beasts floating just a hundred meters above the ground nodded excitedly. Compared to the barren Blue Planet, the transcendent energy of the vast world was incredibly dense.

Here, they felt as if they were lying in an ocean of energy, with their internal energy constantly rising every moment.

Leaving their two subordinates behind to patrol the forest, the red serpent roared and soared into the sky. A red light gathered around it, forming a red mist that covered several kilometers.

As the red serpent flew through the mist from high above, a group of alien race girls looked up from the forest below, their eyes filled with respect. They resembled human girls with a pair of swan wings on their backs.

Each of these alien girls was exceptionally beautiful, had fair skin, and wore clothing made of tree leaves that covered key areas.

After flying over four thousand kilometers, the red serpent finally reached the outer edge of a mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers.

At the front of the mountain range was a peak tens of thousands of meters tall. Clouds and mist surrounded it, covering a clear lake.

The "shallow" lake spanned several kilometers and was tens of meters deep. Moreover, it was filled with countless sparkling red, white, and blue crystals.

Each of the crystals emitted a strong energy.

On the mound of energy crystals at the center of the lake slept a colossal beast over 1400 meters long. It resembled an eastern dragon, was covered in white scales, and had a pair of red dragon horns.

The clouds of white mist that it breathed covered several kilometers of the mountaintop.

Boom!

The ground shook slightly as the red serpent landed by the lake.

Carefully checking its front claws to ensure it didn’t touch the lake, it sighed in relief and then respectfully growled.

I have returned, my king.

The white colossal beast opened its eyes, revealing silver-golden vertical pupils. With a lazy expression, it let out a low growl.

Have you taken care of the matter?

Yes, Sire. After my relentless effort, I have formed a friendly alliance with the Dragon Palace faction, agreeing to mutual non-interference.

Good.

The white colossal beast nodded in satisfaction.

Leaving the passage unchecked would not work, considering level 9 creatures kept coming over to harass Kara and the others. With the Dragon Palace now in control, it should be peaceful. By the way, how is the Dragon Palace?

The red serpent hesitated for a moment.

The Dragon Palace’s king or mythical colossal beast?

The white colossal beast looked at it in confusion.

Is there a difference?

The red serpent smiled bitterly.

A significant one. The king of the Dragon Palace is just a middle-stage level 9 draconic colossal beast.

The beast that unleashed explosive energy and killed the Black Abyss King’s mythical beast was a different beast; it was the Thunder Fiery Dragon King, also known as Ao Tian, Ao Ba, and Ao Batian.

In addition, the Dragon Palace has four other dragon kings—one quasi-mythical, one middle-stage level 9, and two beginning-stage level 9 beasts.

The white colossal beast was stunned. After a long pause, it finally responded,

that faction is so confusing!

The red serpent nodded.

I also find them very chaotic. For some reason, their strongest mythical beast isn’t their king.

Forget it; I won’t bother with it.

The white colossal beast shook its head slightly and yawned, its mouth slightly opening.

I’m so tired. I’m going back to sleep. Red Mane, take care of the territory.

Yes, my king.

The red serpent carefully took two steps back and then slowly turned around.

However, as it turned, its thick tail accidentally swept across the surface of the lake, instantly causing an earth-shattering roar that shook the heavens and earth.

Red Mane, you’ve dirtied my water.
