Although Nidhogg gave him this bloodline, and there was indeed a mother-son bond between them, Qin He would never compromise if she wanted him to deal with Celesi.
"So...you just said you owe me something, how do you plan to repay it?"
Qin He understood that even getting half a gold coin in compensation from Mirapolias was wishful thinking. It wasn't because she was stingy, but because the Forbidden Black Dragon had no interest in hoarding treasure.
Some ancient dragons with classic six-limbed skeletons store rare treasures rich in natural energy, collectively known as "Dragon Treasures".
Miss Black Dragon, however, did not behave this way. Traversing the multiverse atop the treetops, she never accumulated any wealth of her own. Or rather… what treasure could possibly be beyond the power of her calamity-inducing flames to destroy?
After calmly assessing the losses suffered by the Dragon Abyss Divine Kingdom, Qin He was furious.
This region, equivalent to an entire kingdom, originally had well-developed housing and agricultural facilities. But all of these were reduced to ashes by the fire...
If Qin He takes the complete Dragon Abyss Divine Kingdom with him, he won't have to worry about logistics for his wars against the Orc King's Court, capturing the Centaur Princess, and annexing the Blackblaze Kingdom.
As for the palaces within the Dragon Abyss Divine Kingdom, which Qin He should have been able to choose at will, they have been transformed from magnificent and imposing buildings into charcoal-gray ruins.
What a tragedy! All of this is pure gold, and it's all gone!
However, the trip was indeed worthwhile. Qin He originally thought that there were only a few young ancient dragons in the dungeon, and at most, the Kulve Taroth could provide some profit.
But unexpectedly, he was able to take away Velkhana, Namielle, and the mother and daughter Safi'jiiva directly.
Leaving aside the first two, the perpetual motion internal combustion organs inside the Crimson Dragon and the Nether Lantern Dragon alone are enough for Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu to recoup their investment.
By replicating their perpetual motion organs, Qin He could obtain truly inexhaustible energy. At that point, Zhong Liuxiu could effortlessly create anything in the world with her bare hands.
Moreover, the strength of the Fatalis is not to be underestimated. Once we leave the dungeon and get past Miss El—the Alatreon—we'll be free to roam the world.
For Qin He, it was very important that the mother and daughter could roam freely in the world.
To be honest, Qin He had considered asking Miraboreas to help him drive away Alatreon. Although the power difference between the Black Dragon, Fatalis, and Alatreon was not definitively established.
But race is not the same as individual; Miraboreas before us is almost unique. The Fatalis and Alatreon in this world, however, have their own races.
Given Miraboreas's strength, defeating the Alatreon outside shouldn't be a problem.
However, Qin He didn't want to use up the favor Mirapolias owed him so easily. There were ways to defeat the Black Dragon, but instead of involving Mirapolias, it would be better for Qin He to keep them all under his control.
"Tell me who you want me to deal with. As long as it exists in this main universe, and as long as I can kill it, I'll take care of it for you."
Mirapolias made a declaration after pulling Qin He out of the cheongsam collar.
"How will I contact you when I encounter such an enemy, Miss Mira?"
Mirapolias was suddenly taken aback; he had never heard anyone call him that before.
"Here are some good things for you. Wear them, and I'll know where you are."
Crafted from materials such as the black dragon's breastplate and steel horn, this is a truly cursed armor. The gaps in the silver armor are covered by the black horn of the evil dragon, as if it were a manifestation of a forbidden curse.
The eerie patterns covering the armor were indescribably terrifying. The black dragon's evil eye was inlaid in the center of the helmet, paired with the wing-like skirt armor on the lower back…
Gorgeous, sinister, insane, terrifying—that’s the irreplaceable charm of Mirapolias.
Black Dragon Set A is one of Qin He's favorite hunter equipment appearances.
Another set, with inhuman sharp claws, wings on its back, and a long tail... it seemed like a forbidden black dragon walking in the world in human form.
Black Dragon Set B is an armor set that more closely reflects the forbidden essence of Black Dragon.
As for the other two black dragon women's suits that fit Zhong Liuxiu's size, they also appeared in front of her.
Qin He knew that the black dragon's equipment was a truly malevolent and forbidden curse. Even with the bloodline of Nidhogg, the supreme god, and being the Black Dragon of Despair, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu could not casually wear this armor.
While Miraboreas conjuring up equipment from materials he himself possesses is somewhat darkly humorous, it's functional enough.
“Weapons, Miss Mira~ We still need suitable weapons.”
The Black Dragon's weapon is the compensation Qin He most desires right now.
Miraporas then presented the Black Dragon weapon, following Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu's usual practice.
The curved blade completely contradicts the concept of a "tachi" (long sword). The presence of sharp corners and thorns makes the Black Dragon Annihilation Blade resemble a wild and ominous scythe.
It is said that wounds caused by this knife will not heal even after hundreds of years.
—This is still the highest observable record, because creatures that were wounded by this weapon only survived for a few hundred years at most before going mad and dying.
As for the Black Dragon Blade, it is a large sword that is almost twice as tall as Zhong Liuxiu, and is extremely aggressive.
The weapon was crafted to retain the black dragon's inherent ferocity, without any embellishment. This simple, brutal aesthetic of power was also Qin He's favorite.
"Alright. When you need me, put on the Black Dragon Armor and silently say my name! We'll meet again at the ends of the earth."
As Mirapolias reverted to her original form, Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu were instantly transported to the ground.
The black dragon raised its head and spewed forth calamity fire, burning away the ominous blood-red aura within the Dragon Abyss Divine Kingdom. Then, it vanished from Qin He's sight.
"Qin He... I was too nervous just now and didn't have a chance to speak. We can't leave the Dragon Abyss Divine Kingdom yet!"
Suddenly, Gashia grabbed Qin He. As the Annihilator Dragon, she was naturally very sensitive to the aura of other Elder Dragons.
"The Heavenly Returning Dragon, it's the Heavenly Returning Dragon! I sensed its presence outside the door just now. If we open the dungeon gate now, it will go out and spread its scales, transforming into even more Black Erosion Dragons."
From Nergigante's perspective, the more Elder Dragons the better. Transforming Black Dragons everywhere means there's a buffet of Elder Dragons to feast on.
However, the appearance of a Heavenly Returning Dragon would have a huge impact on the ecological environment around the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains.
She might even wreak havoc on Mithril City outside the Forsaken Lands.
“Okay…I understand. Then let’s find that Heavenly Returning Dragon immediately. With the fifth-generation Mad Dragon Virus inhibitor strain that Xuezhi and I jointly developed, we should be able to change the properties of the Heavenly Returning Dragon scale powder.”
The greatest threat posed by the Heavenly Returning Dragon is its ability to spread the Mad Dragon Virus on a large scale, transforming it into a new Black Devouring Dragon.
In other words, as long as her scales cannot breed the Mad Dragon Virus or transform into the Black Erosion Dragon, the danger of the Heavenly Returning Dragon can be completely eliminated.
By then, the Heavenly Returning Dragon will be able to live in the world like a normal ancient dragon, no longer something that other creatures cannot tolerate.
"Qin He".
Suddenly, a brilliant golden dragon shadow spiraled into the sky; it was none other than the Heavenly Returning Dragon. She didn't choose to search for a way out, but instead followed.
Not only that, but many small black erosion dragons were also following behind the Heavenly Returning Dragon.
"That shadow dragon and the gray dwarf raised me and my kind. They used us as weapons... and gave the final order to spread the Mad Dragon Virus."
“However, you should be able to see that I am different. I possess the same intelligence as you, and I want to rebel against the destiny of the Heavenly Dragon.”
"If you have a way to reverse the fate of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, we are willing to follow you forever."
Having submitted to Qin He, the golden Tianhui Dragon chose to embrace the possibilities that Qin He brought.
Previously, those spores that devoured the scales had given her a glimpse of the future of her race.
Chapter 411 Queen Xuezhi's Milk Tea
As long as the scales used to create Black Erosion Dragons are kept to a minimum, they will not become a source of calamity that everyone wants to kill.
If they listened to Shadow Dragon, they would only face death.
Qin He could see that the Heavenly Returning Dragon possessed a remarkably beautiful soul.
"They come to us on their own initiative...that's convenient."
As soon as Qin He sensed it, Queen Xuezhi, who was enjoying afternoon tea inside the Space Scale Dragon Castle, immediately appeared.
"Your Highness Qin He, um!"
Knowing that Qin He had recently met many ancient dragons, even beings like Kulve Taroth and Safi'jiiva quietly submitted to Qin He.
Xuezhi felt that Qin He might truly become the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons.
"Xuezhi, the remaining Tianhui Dragons are right before our eyes. Let us end their tragic fate with our own hands and stop them from being a source of calamity."
Qin He stretched out his hand, and Nidhogg's ability to deconstruct the components of poison immediately emerged. Then, Xue Zhi, as the will of the microbial community, also nodded slightly and summoned spores sufficient to suppress the existence of scale powder.
After days of research, the suppression of the Mad Dragon Virus has reached its final stage. Qin He will be able to completely eliminate the berserk calamity from the Black Eclipse Dragon and the Heavenly Return Dragon, an achievement inseparable from Xue Zhi's participation.
Behind Xuezhi, the enormous, Ganoderma lucidum-shaped fungus appeared.
Countless spores scattered like points of light, not only altering the physical structure of the Black Erosion Dragon and the Heavenly Return Dragon, but also nourishing the destroyed Dragon Abyss Divine Kingdom.
After being "inoculated" with the spores jointly improved by Qin He and Xue Zhi, the Kuanglong virus will no longer have an effect on other organisms.
Of course, it can still be used for attacks such as dust explosions, without affecting the combat power of the Heavenly Dragon and the Black Dragon.
The role of scale powder in the creation of offspring is preserved. As long as there is the corpse of a powerful creature, the Sky Dragon and the Black Dragon can use it as a breeding ground for the new generation by spreading harmless scale powder.
The scales, after being "de-harmed," have lost the domineering effects and enhancements of the Mad Dragon Virus that originally drained life force, and instead stimulate the potential of the inhaler in a gentler form.
Afterwards, the remaining energy from the scales will nourish the user and repair their wounds.
In other words, the scales of this batch of harmless Black Eclipse Dragons will no longer be a double-edged sword. Instead, they can be truly used in medicine, becoming a valuable asset that will usher in a new era for hunters.
"Your Highness Qin He...we thank you."
The Heavenly Returning Dragon had just completed its transformation and hadn't yet given itself a human name. Qin He decided to consider naming it another day...
Now that Qin He has settled Tian Huilong, he faces an even more urgent matter.
……
Outside the Dead City in the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains. "Where is the Crimson Dragon?!"
A tender yet authoritative shout accompanied the alternating surges of divine might as well descended.
Black Sun, the strongest dragon feared by the gods, the dark star shining in the night—these are the names that Alatreon is known by.
Manipulating all natural disasters—storms, flames, thunder, frost—this beautiful ancient dragon, covered in inverted scales, destroyed the desert of the Great Wilderness Dragon Plains into a barren land even more terrifying than before.
The power of the divine realm was so immense that even though the Black Dragon didn't intend to destroy the surrounding ants, her mere presence was enough to utterly annihilate everything under the shadow of natural disaster.
Her entire body is constructed in a way that is completely contrary to the shape of a dragon.
Its body is covered with sharp, knife-like scales, resembling ferocious blades pointing straight to the sky.
Its body is covered by a "reverse shell" formed by overlapping reverse scales. Each reverse scale is born for destruction and can tear apart everything it touches.
He is both a god and a demon.
But even after destroying the entire desert, the Fatalis still hadn't appeared. The Alatreon grew impatient and transformed into her beautiful human form.
Immediately, the divine realm vanished miraculously. The black dragon, having concealed its divine power, appeared before the numerous experts in the delicate form of a human loli girl.
It wasn't a completely flat-chested area; Miss El still had a rather delicate and curvaceous bust. She was as charming as a freshly steamed soup dumpling.
—If you ignore the barbs formed by the sharp, reversed scales on her scaly armor.
Her extremely flamboyant, rebellious giant horns make up a large portion of her height.
Aside from that, its plump, white legs and its large, spiky tail were not much different from the Alatreon that Qin He remembered.
Sharp, horny protrusions, combined with a tail barb as sharp as a mountain of knives. Like a mulberry's tail, only the lower half is tangible.
The dress, made of scales that reached her chest, barely covered her sensitive areas. If you also consider her plump, eerie dragon tail, you could probably easily see the soft, smooth buttocks of the black dragon from behind.
"Black Dragon, Miss El. It's a pleasure to see your esteemed presence~"
He returned to the surface with the Crimson Dragon, but now Qin He was clad in the Black Dragon Armor. The sinister Black Dragon Annihilation Blade gleamed with an extremely threatening sharp light.
Although he knew many effective equipment builds, Qin He didn't have many options. The worst-case scenario was a battle against Alatreon.
"Ants, get out of the way."
Upon seeing its mortal enemy, the Crimson Dragon, the Alatreon immediately revealed its true form. The divine power that had just subsided radiated out once more, incinerating everything in its path.
"Who gave you permission to run wild here? You alpaca with a neck thicker than your head, go back to your hometown and take a nap!"
With Qin He already taking care of his daughter, Ming Chilong had no worries at all.
The next battle will be the final showdown between Fatalis and Alatreon.
"Wh...what? You thin-tailed thing with no nice dragon horns...! I'll kill you!"
The naive and inexperienced Alatreon had rarely spoken to any living creature and was a complete shut-in. Suddenly mocked by Fatalis, she had no words to retaliate.
"sit down."
Qin Heping held up the Black Dragon Annihilation Blade in his hand, and his eyes met those of the Radiant Black Dragon.
"what?"
"I haven't finished speaking, Alatreon... I'm telling you to sit down!"
Even the Black Dragon would be enraged if pointed directly at by that blade from the Black Dragon.
"Roar—! You, a true dragon? Or something else? What do you take my Alatreon for... How dare you, an ant, look down on me?"
